How Do I Create Multi-Channel Portals?

A multi-channel portal contains content that can be viewed on alternative devices, such as Pocket PC, Palm Pilot, or Nokia Communicator. You can set up a multi-channel portal using portlets that support these mobile devices.

Multi-channel portlets contain properties that identify the devices for which they are enabled. In the WebLogic Administration Portal, you can determine which portlets provide support for multiple channels, and then you can include them as you create a portal or a desktop.

To see an example of a portlet that is enabled for multi-channels:

1. Select Portals under Portal Management in the top Menu in the Editor pane.
2. In the Portal Web Applications drop-down menu, select Tutorial.
3. Expand the Library in the Portal Resource tree, and select All Portlets.
4. Select the Enabled Palm, PocketPC portlet.
5. In the Portlet Properties tab in the Editor pane, look at the Other Portlet Properties box.
6. The Enabled Client Classifications field indicates the multi-channel outlets for which this portlet has been configured.

Note: If a portlet has no properties available in the Enabled Client Classifications field, it is not multi-channel enabled.
