This intermediate to advanced course is designed for system administrators, new to IBM WebSphere Portal, who will install, configure, administer and deploy portlets to WebSphere Portal and manage them in a high-availability portal environment. This includes clustering, cross-environment deployment, and deployment of resources into a cluster. This course combines the IBM WebSphere Portal 6.1 Administration 1 and 2 courses to create a comprehensive five-day course. Those who are new to WebSphere Portal, begin by installing WebSphere Portal 6.1 and deploying and managing portal resources and access. The course covers deployment and management of portal resources, such as portlets, pages, themes, and skins. Also, manage page hierarchies and configure resource permissions on portal resources. In the second part of the course, learn WebSphere Portal administration including configuring a horizontal portal cluster, deploying resources (such as portlets) in a clustered environment, troubleshooting a portal clustered environment, moving the portal from staging to production, and performing administrative tasks in a clustered environment.
