Configuring Surveys and Polls Portlets

To Configure Surveys and Polls Portlets

Before You Begin

Ensure that the Derby server instance is up and running by executing the following command:

netstat -a | grep DERBY-PORT

If the server is not running, start the server. See supplement Chapter 14, Starting and Stopping the Apache Derby Open-Source Database for detailed instructions on starting and stopping the server.

Steps

1. Copy the PortalServer7-base/SUNWportal/portletapps/surveys directory to /var/opt/SUNWportal/portals/PortalId/portletapps/surveys directory.

2. Edit the following tokens (starting and ending with %) in /var/opt/SUNWportal/portals/PortalId/portletapps/input.properties file:

   ps.config.location=%PS_CONFIG_LOCATION%

   Portal configuration base directory. By default, this is /etc/opt/SUNWportal.

   ps.portal.id=%PORTAL_ID%

   Portal identifier. For example, myPortal.

   am.admin.dn=%AM_ADMIN_DN%

   Sun Java System Access Manager administrator's distinguished name. For example, use the format uid=amAdmin,ou=People,dc=siroe,dc=com.

   amadminPassword=%AMADMIN_PASSWORD%

   Access Manager administrator's (amadmin) password.

   ps.webapp.uri=%PORTAL_WEBAPP_URI%

   Portal web application URI. By default, this is /portal.

3. Edit the tokens in /var/opt/SUNWportal/portals/PortalId/portletapps/surveys/tokens.properties file.

   For example, edit the following tokens (starting and ending with %):

   DB_ADMIN_URL=jdbc:derby://%DERBY_HOST%:%DERBY_PORT%/surveydb_myPortal;create=true

   Apache Derby Open Source database host name and domain, and the port on which derby server instance is listening.

   DB_URL=jdbc:derby://%DERBY_HOST%:%DERBY_PORT%/surveydb_%PORTAL_ID%

   Apache Derby Open Source database host name and domain, the port on which derby server instance is listening, and portal ID (for example, myPortal).

4. Run the ant command. Type /usr/sfw/bin/ant -buildfile Portal-Data-Dir/portals/PortalId/portletapps/surveys/build.xml.

   To capture output in a log file, run the following command: /usr/sfw/bin/ant -buildfile Portal-Data-Dir/portals/PortalId/portletapps/surveys/build.xml -logfile /tmp/portletappslogs.txt.
