Before You Begin

Ensure the following:

• Portal Server is installed on WebLogic. Name of the first portal is portal1.

• Access Manager is installed on WebLogic.

• WebLogic is installed in the default directory.

1. Create a WebLogic domain, seconddomain on the port 7002.

2. Create a managed server, 7022server, on the port 7022.

3. Go to the WebLogic_base/user_projects/domains/seconddomain directory and run the following scripts.

   ./startWeblogic.sh

   ./startManagedWeblogic.sh 7022server

4. Copy the PortalServer_base/SUNWportal/template/Webcontainer.properties.BEAWL8 file to a PortalServer_base/SUNWportal/bin/secondinstance.properties file.

5. Edit the following properties in the secondportal.properties file.

   • Host=hostname.domain

   • Port=7022

   • Scheme=http

   • WebContainerType=BEAWL8

   • WebContainerInstallDir=/usr/local/bea/weblogic81

   • WebContainerInstanceName=7022server
