Portlet management

Manage the portlets and Web services that the site uses.

• Managing Web modules
  You can install new portlets from either a Web service or WAR file, or you can manage existing portlets.
• Managing portlet applications
  You can enable a portlet application as a Web service and manage existing portlet applications. To view a list of portlets for a portlet application, select the appropriate portlet application title. You can also modify the properties of the portlet.
• Searching
  Use the search feature to search the portlet for portal resources by selecting the type of search and the appropriate search parameters. You can limit the number of portal resources that are listed in the portlet.
• Checking the availability of a portlet
  Check to see if a portlet is available so that you can add it to a page. This option appears only for remote portlets.
• Providing a portlet through WSRP
  As a WSRP Producer, you can provide portlets through WSRP to Consumers. Consumers can then integrate these portlets into their portal remotely and use them.
• Withdrawing a portlet
  You can withdraw portlets from being provided and being available through WSRP. Consumer portals can then no longer use them.
• Copying a portlet
  Make a copy of an existing portlet.
• Blocking or unblocking requests to a portlet
  You can block or unblock requests to a portlet. Usually you do this with portlets that Portlet load monitoring monitors. You can also check whether requests to a portlet have been blocked or whether the portlet can receive requests.
• Modifying portlet settings
  Select the caching method for a portlet; add, edit, or delete a preference or parameter/value pair; or set locale-specific titles and descriptions for a portlet.
• Deleting a portlet
  Delete a portlet from the portal.
• Assigning access to a portlet
  Click Assign access from the appropriate row, and use Resource Permissions to assign permissions to a portlet.
• Configuring the Manage Portlets portlet
  You can modify the search results of this portlet by selecting either Edit shared settings or Configuration from the portlet menu.
• Fields for the Manage Portlets portlet
  Learn more about the fields that are provided with the user interface.
• Configuring your portal for Web services
  If you want to make remote portlets available to your portal users, you can set up your portal for consuming Web Services for Remote Portlets (WSRP) and administer the necessary Producer definitions.
• Web application bridge
  The web application bridge uses reverse proxy technology to integrate web-based content providers, such as the Microsoft SharePoint server, with HCL Digital Experience.
