New Portals Context for the WebFOCUS URL

In WebFOCUS Release 8.2 Version 03, a new context named portals was added to the WebFOCUS URL. This new context directs users to the new Portals Home Page. This page displays links only to those portals that are available to the user who is signed in.

To open this page directly from the Browser Address Bar, type the URL:

http(s)://host:port/context/portals

where:

host

Is the name or IP Address of the host used to access WebFOCUS.

port

Is the number of the port on which the Web Server or Application Server listens.

This value is optional, and it should be excluded if the URL uses the default port for the protocol it uses in the scheme, which is port 80 for URLs using the http protocol or port 443 for URLs using the https protocol.

context

Is the specific context used for WebFOCUS. For example, ibi_apps.

portals

Is the case-sensitive path that opens the Portals Home Page.

In order to make the Portals Home Page the default home page for an installation of WebFOCUS, select the Custom Welcome Page option in the Redirect /ibi_apps to setting on the BI Portals page of the Administration Console Configuration tab, and then type portals in the /ibi_apps/ field.
