Find the IDSWebApp.war file from <TDS install dir location>\V6.2\idstools\
Deploy the war file from the ISC console with context root as "IDSWebApp". (Please refer to infocenter link provided in references section below for detailed instructions on how to install IDSWebApp) .

NOTE: Make sure choose the "Server1" as target while installing webapp , I had issues when I installed it on the portal cluster. (see Appendix for more details)

Access the IDSWebApp after successful installation (Access this IDSWebApp using the server1 ports)

Solution:

It took a while to figure the actual issue to resolve the above the problem,

While installing the IDSWebApp , make sure you have selected the "server1" as target (even though you have portal server) .

I have started the server1 from command prompt and installed the IDSWebApp from the ISC console and selected the "server1" as target but I was not able to start application from the DMGR ISC console as it says application deployed on the different server.

I have choosen to start application when server starts (from the ISC concole , click on application and configure) and restarted the "Server1" to start this application while starting the server .

Access IDSWebApp using the server1 ports.
