You must use Server Manager to install a new Collaborative Server instance.

The WebSphere 7.0 or 8.5 installation must also include an HTTP Server.

To install a Collaborative Portal Server instance:

1. Select the Managed Home in which you wish to install the Collaborative Portal Server.

   

2. Click the Create a New Managed Instance button to create the Managed Instance in the Managed Home.

   

3. On Create/Register a Managed Instance, Instance Type, select this radio button:

   EnterpriseOne Collaborative Portal Server

4. Click Continue.

   

5. On Create/Register a Managed Instance, Instance Properties, complete these fields:

   • Server Group

     Use the dropdown to select the Server Group to which you want this instance to belong.

     Also refer to Administer Server Groups.

   • Instance Name

     Enter a name for the instance.

     Tip:

     A good business practice is to name your instances so that they are easily and consistently identifiable. For example:

     PRODUCT_SERVER_PORT

     where PRODUCT is the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne server type, such as Enterprise_Server, HTML_Web_Server, RTE_Transaction_Server, Collaborative_Portal, or Business_Services, and

     where SERVER is the machine on which the instance is installed, and

     where PORT is the HTTP port which is defined for use by this server.

   • J2EE Server

     Use the dropdown to select a valid J2EE server.

   • Software Component

     Use the dropdown to select the version of this Software Component that you wish to install.

6. Click Continue.

   

7. On Create/Register a Managed Instance, Confirmation, review the key configuration items. The values on this form must be confirmed manually. You must validate or update, as appropriate, all configuration items.

   Tip:

   For help, click the Information icon next to the title of a field.

8. After you have validated and updated all configuration items, click Continue to proceed to the next installation step.

   

9. On Create/Register a Managed Instance, Finish, click the Create Instance button to complete the installation of the Collaborative Portal Server.

       Running

       When the status is Running, the Stop button is available.
