Configuring Collaboration Enablement for Portal

Collaboration Enablement for Portal makes use of Rational Application Developer (RAD), which is provided with WebSphere Portal Server.

If a supported version of WebSphere Portal Server already existed on your system before you ran the Launchpad and installer, then your installation of RAD was automatically configured by the installer, and you do not need to perform the configuration task described in this section.

If you installed WebSphere Portal Server after you ran the installer for WebSphere Business Integration Server Express, you will need to configure RAD for use with the tools, as follows:

  1. Copy the file com.ibm.btools.csm.link from the tools\IES301\links directory inside the WebSphere Business Integration Server Express product installation directory to the eclipse\links directory inside the RAD installation directory.

    For example, if WebSphere Business Integration Server Express is installed at C:\Programs\IBM\WebSphereBI and RAD is installed at C:\Programs\IBM\RAD\SDP\6.0, copy the com.ibm.btools.csm.link file from C:\Programs\IBM\WebSphereBI\Tools\IES301\ links to C:\Programs\IBM\RAD\SDP\6.0\eclipse\links.

  2. Modify WSWB_EXECUTABLE and WSWB_PATH variables declared in the startcsm_rad.bat file found inside the \bin directory of the WebSphere Business Integration Server Express product installation directory.

    For example, assuming that WebSphere Business Integration Server Express is installed at C:\Programs\IBM\WebSphereBI and RAD is installed at C:\Programs\IBM\RAD\SDP\6.0, then edit the startcsm_rad file found in the C:\Programs\IBM\WebSphereBI\bin directory and replace the following lines:

    set WSWB_EXECUTABLE=%1
    set WSWB_PATH=%2

    with

    set WSWB_EXECUTABLE="C:\Programs\IBM\RAD\SDP\6.0\rationalsdp.exe"
    set WSWB_PATH="C:\Programs\IBM\RAD\SDP\6.0"
  3. Start RAD by executing the modified
    startcsm_rad.bat
    file.
