Sorry all, I was out with the flu but I am back now. Back to Workplace
Tags :Technical
So let's pretend you are installing Workplace
on a machine that had WebSphere Portal already installed. In your
magic thinking it would skip the necessary install of Portal because it
says it finds it on the machine and it goes on it's merry way. Well
let's not get too far ahead here.
When a user runs the
Lotus Workplace Installer it will check to see if Portal is installed on
the system. If it is not, it will install it. If Portal is
on the system, the Lotus Workplace installer will set a property called
PortalSafeMode=true in the lwpprops.properties
file. This property is checked in the configuration code to make
sure Lotus Workplace does not corrupt WebSphere Portal databases. Therefore,
Workplace will not corrupt an existing WebSphere Portal installation, however,
the Lotus Workplace server will not work if it is installed
on a server that already has WebSphere Portal server installed.
So we have learned something here. Just
because it says it requires a certain version of a certain software doesn't
mean to be all proactive and install it by yourself now does it?
