Make Portal Resources Available in the Weblogic Administration Portal

Portals and portal resources are most often developed elsewhere and made available for you to manage in the WebLogic Administration Portal. In order for you to see the resource in the Resource tree and be able to access its properties, it must first be "made available" to the WebLogic Administration Portal and then you must be given Delegated Administration rights to see it.

To make portal resources available in the WebLogic Administration Portal:

  1. In the Portal Management tools, use the pull-down list above the Portal Resource tree to select a web application.

Note: If you do not know which web application to choose, consult with the developer who created the portal you are trying to expose.

  1. Select Portal Resources in the Portal Resource tree.
  2. Click Create New Portal in the Editor pane.
  3. Fill in the web application properties. Use the table below for guidance.
  4. Click Save. Look for the new portal and portal resources in the Portal Resource tree.
