Changing the WebSphere Portal URI

• Stop the WebSphere Portal server.

• Backup the following files: wkplc.properties and wkplc_comp.properties files in the wp_profile_root/ConfigEngine/properties directory

• Edit the values in the properties file, wkplc.properties file and enter the appropriate value for your environment in the WpsContextRoot. 

 wpsContextRoot=appschic

• Edit the values in the properties file, wkplc_comp.properties file and enter the appropriate value for your environment in the following properties: WsrpContextRoot, WpsPersonalizedHome, & WpsDefaultHome.

WsrpContextRoot=mywsrp
WpsPersonalizeHome=myapps
WpsDefaultHome=apps
  

• Save and close.

• Navigate to wp_profile_root/ConfigEngine/

 # ./ConfigEngine.sh modify-servlet-path -DPortalAdminPwd=<*****> -DWasPassword=<****>

• Restart WebSphere_Portal

# ./ConfigEngine.sh modify-servlet-path-portlets -DPortalAdminPwd=<*****> -DWasPassword=<****>

• Restart WebSphere_Portal

• Testing after script run successfully. Open browser and go to : 

 http://<servername>:<port>/appschic/myapps

•  If have successfully configured the portal, it should come back with a login page.     

Note: The modify-servlet-path only modifies the Portal enterprise applications with the new context root. If you have a business requirement to have a consistent context root, including when portlets load, run the modify-servlet-path-portlets task as well. The modify-servlet-path-portlets task modifies the PA_* applications.
