You can deploy the Discovery Framework as a standalone application
on WebSphere Application Server (WAS) version 6.1. (6.1.0.1 or higher).
Before following the steps here, consult the
Liferay Portal Administrator's Guide, which contains portal
deployment instructions and examples for WebSphere Application Server 6.1.
Note: The examples in this section are based on a Linux server WAS
deployment. If you are installing on Windows, the steps will be similar, though
you will need to substitute Windows executables and paths. In certain examples,
backslashes are used to escape the dollar sign ($) character on Linux, because
the shell would otherwise attempt a variable substitution for this character.
These backslashes should not be required on a Windows system.
Note: Among the data sources in your Discovery Framework application, you
must always include a default data source. This data source is automatically
assigned to all data-source-backed components when they are initially added to
a page. For details, see the topic "Specifying a default data source," located
in the chapter "About data source configuration."
Note: When the Discovery Framework is running on WAS 6.1 on Linux, some
of its administrative components require the
compat-libstdc++-33 library to function. If this
library is not already installed, you can install it with a command such as
yum install compat-libstdc++-33. For more information,
see the
IBM WebSphere documentation.
