Before you can deploy an asset to WebCenter Portal or specific portal, you must first set up a connection to the associated Portal Server.
Use the WebCenter Portal Server connection dialog to configure a connection to a Portal Server. You can set the connection up as an application resource, or as an IDE connection that can be reused from other applications.
Complete the connection fields as shown below. After completing your entries, click Test Connection to make sure the connection works. Note that if the connection test fails due to the server being offline, the connection will still be set up, and can be used once the server is again available.
