    Hi,
    I installed websphere portal server v6.1 on my windows machine and installed success fully but WCM is not installed. If i run "ConfigEngine.bat configure-wcm-authoring -DPortalAdminPwd= -DWasPassword="

    i am getting "BUILD FAILED
    Target `configure-wcm-authoring' does not exist in this project."
    What can i do for WCM installation?

    Hi Raghu

    WebSphere Portal Server does not include any entitlement to Lotus Web Content Management, so any WCM-related task will fail.

    If you need WCM, you can either choose the Content Accelerator, WebSphere Portal Enable, WebSphere Portal Extend, or WebSphere Portal Express.

    Regards

    Dave

    Hi Raghu

    Take a look at the file: -

    /opt/IBM/WebSphere/PortalServer/wps.properties

    which will look similar to the following: -

    # Product information for IBM WebSphere Portal Server
    product=IBM WebSphere Portal Server
    version=7.0.0.0
    fixlevel=0
    buildnumber=wpnext_528_05
    mode=standard
    WPFamilyName=express

    ProfileName=wp_profile
    ProfileDirectory=/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/wp_profile
    UnixFilePermissions=550

    The WPFamilyName parameter shows the product name - if it's set to "server", then you have WebSphere Portal Server installed, it it says "content", then you'll have one of the options that includes WCM.

    As you can see from my example, I have "express" which means that I have WebSphere Portal Express which includes WCM.

    Also, take a look at what you downloaded - the Assembly name will give it away e.g. CR9SUML

    # Product information for IBM WebSphere Portal Server
    product=IBM WebSphere Portal Server
    version=6.1.0.1
    fixlevel=0
    mode=standard
    buildnumber=wp6101_115_01
    WPFamilyName=server
    WPInstallType=full

    ProfileName=wp_profile
    ProfileDirectory=C:/WebSphere/wp_profile

    Hi Raghu

    Sadly not, this means that the version of WebSphere Portal that you've downloaded (Server) does not include the WCM components.

    The only way you can get WCM is if you download a new version of the product that includes the WCM entitlement.

    Regards

    Dave

    @Raghu - I suspect you'd need to export the page/portlet configuration using XMLAccess.

    It's also possible that the Site Analytics log (SA.LOG) might show you this information.

    @Raghav - you can navigate to the portlet via the Administration page group, and choose Portlet Management. You can then drill into the WAR, application or portlet, and start it, regards, Dave

    @Raghav - OK, then you can start the application via the WAS Integrated Solutions Console (ISC). Alternatively, if worse comes to worse, the application should start automatically when you next restart WAS.

    If the application doesn't start, you'll need to do some problem determination to ascertain why e.g. check the logs etc.
