First you need to create a copy of the JSR portlet and give it a unique name. For the above scenario you need to create 3 copies.Add the portlets to the page and Edit the Shared Settings on any specific instance of the Web Content Viewer (JSR 286) (News, Events, Company) that’s deployed on a portal page.

Indeed a great feature!

What wonder what would happen in case of multiple JSR portlets doing the same? How is that handled.

In any PageAutomation-based page (that is, anything controlled by Data Page, which DSUI, View and Form, etc. all depend on), the initial value of the fields comes from the variable that the Data Page is based on.  You’ll see this in an update page, for instance:  all those fields are pre-populated from the Variable, the same one that the data will be written into when the form is submitted.  So, if you want to set up the initial value for a field, you do it by putting that value into the variable in the right place. 

There are a couple of good ways to do this:  You can use an assignment in a method or action list.  (The Assignment operation of Action list will actually let you pick down into the guts of an XML variable.)  You can also use the (somewhat awkward) feature of Data Field Modifier, which has a field for that.  (I don’t really recommend this approach because it is confusing when the method that this creates gets called.  There is actually a setting in Data Page to control when it is called, but you can’t easily get at that setting via DSUI or V&F.) 

Finally, what is probably the best way to control all the initial values at once:  Create another variable that uses the same schema, press “Sample Data” in the Variable builder, edit the data to be what you want the variable to show initially, and then IN A METHOD, assign the value from that variable to the Variable that the PageAutomation depends on USING .cloneElement( ).  (If you assign in an action list, it doesn’t clone the contents; it will just leave both Variables pointing at the same bunch of IXml.  The result is that when the form is submitted and the data copied into the Variable, you’ll also be polluting your starter variable.)  So the assignment should look something like:

Variables v = webAppAccess.getVariables( );

v.setXml( “TargetVariableName”, v.getXml( “SourceVariableName” ).cloneElement( ) ); 

You can use the following commands to get reports about the configured ports:

ConfigEngine.bat list-server-ports -DWasPassword=password

ConfigEngine.bat list-server-ports-by-name -DServerName=server1 -DWasPassword=password

ConfigEngine.bat list-server-ports-by-name -DServerName=WebSphere_Portal -DWasPassword=password

This will produce output on the command line that, at the end of the output, looks something like this:[wplc-get-host-port-in-server] Status = Complete
     [echo]      Ports for WebSphere_Portal :
     [echo]      WC_defaulthost=10039
     [echo]      WC_adminhost=10042
     [echo]      WC_defaulthost_secure=10029
     [echo]      WC_adminhost_secure=10032
     [echo]      BOOTSTRAP_ADDRESS=10035
     [echo]      SOAP_CONNECTOR_ADDRESS=10025
     [echo] Creating C:/IBM/WebSphere/wp_profile/ConfigEngine/log/WebSphere_Portal_PortMatrix.txt
Notice that a matrix.txt file is also created as a result of this command.

¿What does it mean?
