I have to say, I struggled with this for a good few weeks. Since the Delivery Server 10.1 is out with the Social Communities included, we have been asked many times to demonstrate it to our clients. Potentially, huge money there. However, the support to get this up and working is very limited.
I will try and make this really short, so that I don’t bore you to death.
Step 1
As always, make sure you have the required licenses, assuming you already have a working instance of Delivery Server 10.1. There are three modules that you will need, which are
- HTRE – HTTP REST Connector
- PCON – Portlet Connector
- PRDW – Interface to JSR 168 and IBM WebSphere portlets
The OpenText licensing department seems pretty efficient in issuing/renewing licenses these days, which is good to see.
If you can’t get those required licenses, you will not be able to continue.
Step 2
You will need to install Common Search which now comes free with the Delivery Server. (Make sure you have the license key too) You will need to do this before installing the Collaboration Server.
Step 3
We now need a Collaboration Server. Collaboration Server can be downloaded from the OpenText Knowledge Center along with the installation manual. You will need to follow the instructions carefully, as well as setting up the correct permissions for the indexing folder/s.
A successful install should get you the screens like below.

- Collaboration Login Screen

- Collaboration Interface Screen
