Perhaps the single most valuable tool on the support page is the Search box. See Figure A-16. Figure A-16 The WebSphere Portal product support page's search box This is the primary input mechanism for finding the answers you need to the questions you might have. For example, if you are receiving a particular message code during some operations of your portal, copy that code into the search box and view the results. This is our interface to numerous datasources across the IBM sites and is the easiest way to use the page to meet your needs. Search results are provided with an indication of relevancy and even by date. For this example, we have deployed our portal and are using custom themes and skins throughout. After assigning a new theme to the portal's Administration pages, the administrator has been unable to "assign access to a portlet" when using the Manage Portlets administrative portlet. Instead, the administrator receives the dreaded "This portlet is not available" message in its place. Checking the wps_.log file, the administrator sees this entry: 2007.08.16 19:03:22.101 E com.ibm.wps.engine.tags.PortletRenderTag doStartTag EJPEJ0066E: The portlet could not be rendered. - StackTrace follows... 2007.08.16 19:03:22.101 E com.ibm.wps.engine.tags.PortletRenderTag doStartTag javax.portlet.PortletException . . . . Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at com.ibm.wps.portlets.permissions.PermissionsPortlet.doView(PermissionsPortlet.java :192)... The administrator also found that by restoring the default "out-of-the-box" theme for the admin pages, this problem did not occur. 192 IBM WebSphere Portal V6 Self Help Guide
