IBM WebSphere Portal 8.5: User assistance for adminstrators

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.

About Web Service Configuration
You can use the Web Service Configuration portlet to set up your portal for consuming Web Services for Remote Portlets (WSRP). You prepare your Consumer portal for integrating remote portlets that are provided by Producer portals so that your portal users can work with these portlets. Additionally, you can configure Web Service Producers on the Consumer portal side and configure various aspects of using web services in your portal.
Creating a Producer definition
A Producer is a portal that provides portlets. Consumer portals can then consume remote portlets through WSRP. To enable your portal for consuming remote portlets, you create and configure a Producer definition.
Editing a Producer definition
To update the information for a Producer in your portal, click Edit for that Producer in the list of Producer definitions. The Web Service Configuration portlet displays a panel similar to the Create Producer panel with the information that you entered before. Modify the information in the fields as required.
Setting language-specific titles and descriptions for a Producer definition
Set language-specific titles and descriptions for a web service Producer definition.
Deleting a Producer definition
You can delete a Producer definition from your portal.
Assigning access permission to users on a web service Producer definition
Assign access permissions to your portal users on a web service Producer definition.
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.
Configuring the Web Service Configuration portlet
Specify the maximum number of Producer definitions that you want to view in the table, the maximum number of Producers you want to view on each page, and the user attributes that you want to be passed to Producers by default.
