Setting Portal Node Characteristics

Access the Portal page. (From the Node Definitions page, select the Portal page.)

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Node Definitions - Portal page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Node Definitions - Portal page
Field or Control Description

Node Name

Displays the node name, description, and local node check box status from the Node Definitions page.

Default Portal

For local nodes only, you can specify the portal definition to which this node is associated.

Note: The portal host node for a portal is specified on the Portal Definitions page.

Tools Release

Enter the version of PeopleTools that is running. This is a free-form field. You can enter any information that you want; however, Oracle recommends that you use the same PeopleTools release that is available when you press Ctrl + J.

Important: The Tools Release value is required to support the check token ID required for single signon configurations and for the remote pagelet search feature.

Application Release

Enter the version of the PeopleSoft application that you are running. This is a free-form field. You can enter any information that you want; however, Oracle recommends that you use the same application name release that is available when you press Ctrl + J.

Content URI Text Portal URI Text

Enter the uniform resource identifier (URI) of the content servlet (psc) and the URI text for the portal servlet (psp). For example:

http://myserver.example.com:8010/psc/MY_SITE/
http://myserver.example.com:8010/psp/MY_SITE/

Important: The combination of the server name, colon, and port number in these URIs must not exceed 30 characters in length.

Portal Host Node

Note: The Portal Host Node and the Network Node Name fields are required when configuring unified navigation, which consists of a central portal system and one or more content provider systems. These fields must be set only for remote node definitions on the portal system and on each content provider system. These fields are set so that unified fluid homepages are able to obtain the corresponding Integration Broker node for a given portal host node. Do not set these fields on local node definitions.

Select the Portal Host Node check box only for a node definition for a remote portal host node.

Network Node Name

Enter the name of the default local node of the remote system only for a node definition for any remote node.
