IBM WebSphere Portal 8.5: User assistance for adminstrators

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. This way you can limit the number of portal resources listed in the portlet.
Making a copy of a portlet application
Make a copy of an existing IBM API portlet application. You cannot perform this task on JSR standard portlet applications because each JSR portlet Web module can only contain a single portlet application. Note that you can create multiple copies of a JSR portlet inside that single application.
Modifying portlet application settings
Add or delete a parameter/value pair, or set locale-specific titles and descriptions for an IBM API portlet application. You cannot perform these tasks on JSR standard portlet applications because the Java Portlet Specification does not have the concept of parameters or locale-specific titles on an application level.
Deleting a portlet application
Delete a portlet application from the portal. If you delete a portlet application, then the corresponding portlet applications and portlets are also deleted. You cannot perform this task on JSR standard portlet applications because each JSR portlet Web module can only contain a single portlet application.
Assigning permissions to a portlet application
Click Assign access from the appropriate row, and use Resource Permissions to assign permissions to a portlet application. Permissions are inherited. For example, the access assigned to a porltet application will be inherited by the contained portlets.
Viewing a list of portlets for a portlet application
To see a list of portlets for a portlet application, click on the portlet application in the Title column.
Configuring the Manage Applications portlet
You can modify the search results of this portlet by changing the maximum number of items that a search retrieves and by changing the number of items that display on a page.
