Having deployed them into my two-node WP/WCM 6.1.5 cluster ( Note; it's essential that they be deployed BEFORE database/LDAP transfer etc. ), using the ConfigEngine.sh scripts
./ConfigEngine.sh configure-express -DPortalAdminPwd=passw0rd -DWasPassword=passw0rd
./ConfigEngine.sh action-express-memberfixer -DPortalAdminPwd=passw0rd -DWasPassword=passw0rd
and, after the LDAP migration, having re-run the action-express-memberfix task, once I'd added the appropriate LDAP-based WPSADMIN account into: -
/opt/IBM/WebSphere/wp_profile/ PortalServer/wcm/shared/app/config/wcmservices/MemberFixerModule.properties
./ConfigEngine.sh action-express-memberfixer -DPortalAdminPwd=passw0rd -DWasPassword=passw0rd
and, after the LDAP migration, having re-run the action-express-memberfix task, once I'd added the appropriate LDAP-based WPSADMIN account into: -
/opt/IBM/WebSphere/wp_profile/ PortalServer/wcm/shared/app/config/wcmservices/MemberFixerModule.properties
I wanted to configure them to use the most excellent Ephox EditLive! rich text editor, rather than the default IBM editor.
That nice Mr Adrian Sutton Esq kindly pointed me at a document on the Ephox website: -
which describes how, as the portal adminstrator, to configure the Web Content Viewer portlets to use EditLive, by updating or adding a property: -
WCM_RICH_TEXT_EDITOR = EditLiveJavaEditor.jsp
I tried this, but the IBM RTE still came up as default when I created a new item of content ( actually a new Company News item within Home page of the Internet microsite ).
Thankfully, common sense prevailed and, rather than searching for portlets by the criteria "Title Starts With -> Web Content Viewer" - which only threw up: -
Web Content Viewer IBM API ibm.portal.Web.Content.Viewer
Web Content Viewer (JSR 286) JSR 286 ibm.portal.Web.Content.Viewer.Jsr286
Web Content Viewer (JSR 286) JSR 286 ibm.portal.Web.Content.Viewer.Jsr286
I chose the search criteria "Title Contains -> Web Content Viewer" which returned: -
Web Content Viewer IBM API ibm.portal.Web.Content.Viewer
Web Content Viewer (JSR 286) JSR 286 ibm.portal.Web.Content.Viewer.Jsr286
Express Web Content Viewer IBM API ibm.portal.Express.portlets.lrp
Web Content Viewer (JSR 286) JSR 286 ibm.portal.Web.Content.Viewer.Jsr286
Express Web Content Viewer IBM API ibm.portal.Express.portlets.lrp
It was the Express Web Content Viewer that I needed to change - in hindsight, had I looked at Edit Page Layout for one of the Internet/Intranet pages, I'd have got the same result.
The other wrinkle was that, in contrast to the Ephox website, the IBM Information Centre here: -
directs one to use a slightly different value for the property: -
WCM_RICH_TEXT_EDITOR = /wps/ephox;/jsp/html/EditLiveJavaEditor.jsp
When I used EditLiveJavaEditor.jsp or /jsp/html/EditLiveJavaEditor.jsp, I still got the IBM RTE rather than EditLive!
So, after some trial and, as always, some error, I now have the EditLive! editor as my default RTE throughout my WP/WCM environment, which is nice.
And now to try and get the IBM WebSphere Portal Content Templates Catalog working in my clustered environment - I'll crack it, with the help of the Dublin labs. from whence the installer came ...

Glad to see you got assistance from Adrian Sutton - he is one of our best and brightest!
Hi Tara, yes, he's a bit of a gem, thanks :-)
