Part III

Staging

Oracle recommends that you deploy your portal, including portlets, to a staging environment, where it can be assembled and tested before going live. In the staging environment, you use the WebLogic Portal Administration Console to assemble and configure desktops. You also test your portal in a staging environment before propagating it to a live production system.

For a detailed description of the architecture phase of the portal life cycle, see the Oracle Fusion Middleware Overview for Oracle WebLogic Portal.

Part III contains these chapters:

Chapter 17, "Assembling Portlets into Desktops"
Chapter 18, "Deploying Portlets"
