ProcedureTo install the provider manually:

Steps
  1. Compile the provider class file and copy the file to the provider class base directory which, by default, is PortalServer-DataDir/portals/portal-ID/desktop/classes. Or copy the file to the location specified in the PortalServer-DataDir/portals/portal-ID/config/desktopconfig.properties file.

  2. Copy the resource bundle files, if any, to PortalServer-DataDir/portals/portal-ID/desktop/classes directory.

  3. Develop the JSPs and templates for the provider and copy the files to the template root directory for the provider which, by default, is PortalServer-DataDir/portals/portal-ID/desktop/desktoptype/providerName.

  4. Develop and upload the display profile XML fragments for the provider, the provider’s channels, and the container within which the channels will operate, if any.
