E-Pro: IBM Lotus Workplace Web Content installations
Tags :E-Pro Articles
Hello all, I find that filling in for Libby
and coming up with the right topic is difficult. But the past two days
gave me plenty to talk about. I spent Nov 4th and 5th installing and customizing
my first install of IBM Lotus Workplace Web Content Management 2. It was
quite the experience and time consuming.
The main part was the actual installation. For those of you who've done IBM Lotus Workplace at all, you know there are numerous pieces just for the basic functionality. ILWWCM holds its own there also. While the required software is much simpler, the time spent changing local configuration files is where you need to have patience and attention to detail. One wrong character and you can find yourself going back through every step. I would definitely use the Websphere error logs and some of the built-in scripts to test as you go along.
Having said that and finished the installation, I'll add that the user interface was nice and consistent across each area of the content management. You have to get used to refreshing the screen each time you add something new, as it does not do it for you automatically when saving. (That would be a big benefit). I bring this up because if you do not refresh and you try to use what you just created while in another component, it will not even show there.
You can head over to my blog for a fuller account of what transpired. Until then we will keep on guest blogging and await Libby's return!
