This IBM Redbooks publication positions the new features and enhancements of IBM WebSphere Portal for Multiplatforms Version 5.1 and serves as a follow-up to the book, "IBM WebSphere Portal for Multiplatforms V5 Handbook," SG24-6098.

This "IBM WebSphere Portal for Multiplatforms V5.1 Handbook" will help you to understand how to install, tailor, and configure WebSphere Portal V5.1 within the Microsoft Windows Server 2003, SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 (SLES9), IBM AIX 5L, and Linux on zSeries/SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 8 (SLES8) environments. We provide instructions to set up a clustered environment and also provide a demonstration of migrating from WebSphere Portal Version 5.0 to Version 5.1.

Although this book includes the steps for configuring WebSphere Portal V5.1 on the latest operating systems, we recommend that you refer to the book "IBM WebSphere Portal for Multiplatforms V5 Handbook" when you seek administrative and customization examples.

Other examples provided in this book include the implementation of IBM Lotus Domino Enterprise Server, Lotus Team Workplace, Lotus Collaborative Components, and IBM Tivoli Directory Server.
