Hints and tips for using portal mashup integration

Mashup integration in the portal does not support all use cases that the IBM Mashup Center supports.

The following list gives known limitations of mashup integration in the portal:

• Publish a page from the mashup hub to the portal by using only a URL as a reference to the page is not supported.

• The embedding feature is not supported.

• Limitations of the WebDAV file store feature for mashup integration:

  • The WebDAV file store feature is not supported for multiple production line scenarios. Therefore mashup integration content cannot be shared between multiple production lines.

  • WebDAV URLs to the file store can identify a target virtual portal. However, file store content is not scoped to virtual portals. Therefore mashup content that is visible in one virtual portal is also visible in other virtual portals of the same portal installation.

  As the lightweight widget deployment feature uses WebDAV file store to persist data, these limitations also apply to lightweight widget deployment.

• When a mashup page is imported to the portal, the portal does not render lightweight widgets contained on that page, as they reference the file store of the original Mashup server and not the one of the portal. In this case, remove the widget from the page, redeploy it to the portal, and then add it again.
