Configuring the WebSphere Portal 5.1 Test Environment

Install the WebSphere® Portal 5.1 test environment according to the procedures listed in the Rational® Software Development Platform Installation Guide. In version 6.0.1, Rational tools will automatically detect the test environment.

In the event that the WebSphere Portal 5.1 test environment is not detected (even though it is installed), follow the steps below.
Note: You must delete the previous server definition for the test environment and create a new one for the new server version if you have:
  • updated the WebSphere Portal 5.1 Test Environment (to version 5.1.0.1, or higher) using the Rational Product Updater
  • updated Rational tools from version 6.0 or 6.0.0.1, to 6.0.1
This information does not apply to the WebSphere Portal 5.0 test environment.

To configure the WebSphere Portal 5.1 test environment:

  1. Switch to the Web perspective by selecting Window > Open perspective > Other > Web.
  2. Select Window > Preferences from the menu bar.
  3. Expand the Server section, and click Installed Runtimes.
  4. Click WebSphere Portal 5.1 stub, select the check box, and click Edit.
  5. Change the name to WebSphere Portal 5.1 and overwrite the WebSphere Portal Location and WebSphere Application Server Location values with the WebSphere Portal 5.1 test environment installation directories that you specified when you installed the test environment.
  6. Click Finish.
  7. Click OK in the Preferences dialog box.
After completing these steps, the WebSphere Portal 5.1 test environment server is available for testing, debugging, or profiling.
Note: This configuration is valid only for your current workspace. You must configure each workspace that uses the test environment.
