WCM Site Area creation erroring out after Portal 8.5 CF02 fix pack



Recently, I applied CF02 latest Portal fix pack to my local Portal 8.5 (with CF01) using Installation Manager. Was able to apply the fix pack without any issues. .

Was able to verify most of the functionality of the Portal and WCM with latest fix pack CF02 after the upgrade, but noticed that I was not able to create any new “Site Area” in WCM Authoring Portlet and so quickly checked the SystemOut.log, I noticed following error -

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:

Though was able to create Site Areas without any issue before this fixpacks with Portal 8.5 CF01.

Did lot of googling, but no luck and so I raised a PMR with IBM Support. 

IBM support team suggested to run update-wcm ConfigEngine task and this resolved my WCM Site Area creation issue, they also mentioned that same has been reported by some other customers as well.

Thought to share, in case anyone else having same issue after Portal 8.5 CF02 upgrade.

Extending LDAP attributes to WebSphere Portal

I wanted to extend the Portal VMM attributes by adding new attributes from LDAP to our Portal env. Out of the box WebSphere Portal VMM is configured with a default attribute schema.

I followed below steps to extend the VMM attributes from the LDAP - Open the command prompt and go to <WP_PROFILE>/ConfigEngine directory. Run the wp-la-install-ear ConfigEngine tasks- In Linux env - ./ConfigEngine.sh wp-la-install-ear -DWasPassword=dmgr_password -DServerName=dmgr_server_name -DNodeName=node_name In Windows env - ConfigEngine.bat wp-la-install-ear -DWasPassword=dmgr_password -DServerName=dmgr_server_name -DNodeName=node_name Restart the Portal Server profile. Go to <WP_PROFILE>/ConfigEngine/properties directory in your Portal installation and open the wkplc.properties file in amy text editor. For safer side take a back of...
