Portal Administration Console Guidelines

You can improve the performance of the Portal Administration Console. Specifically, you can decrease the time it takes to work with desktops and to browse portal resources.

This section includes the following topics:

Creating Desktops

When you create a new desktop in the Administration Console, a list of .portal files is used to populate the templates drop-down list. If all .portal files reside under the same directory under the web application directory, this drop-down list can be created quickly.

To take advantage of higher performance in building the drop-down list, you must define the portalFileDirectory in the web application’s web.xml file.

Note: After making any changes, you must redeploy your web application for the changes to take effect. For more information about modifying web descriptor files, see “Portal Web Application Deployment Descriptors” in the Production Operations Guide.
  1. Navigate to the respective web.xml file. It is located in the WEB-INF subdirectory of your portal application directory.
  2. Open the web.xml file in a text editor.
  3. Add the following lines
    4. <context-param>
    	<param-name>portalFileDirectory</param-name>
    	<param-value>/</param-value>
    </context-param>
  4. Save the new web.xml file.
  5. Redeploy your web application.
