View: http://docs.cignex.com/ad_services/services?action=download&uid=5

Search: http://docs.cignex.com/ad_services/services?action=search

Report: http://docs.cignex.com/ad_services/services?action=report

2) Usage of ad-portlet plugin

You can also download the WAR (ad-portlet plugin with source code) at

http://liferay.cignex.com/ad_server/ad-portlet-5.3.0.1.war

In database (e.g., MySQL), you need to create a database 'bookpub'.

create database bookpub;
grant all on bookpub.* to 'lportal'@'localhost' identified by 'lportal' with grant option;
grant all on bookpub.* to 'lportal'@'localhost.localdomain' identified by 'lportal' with grant option;

3) Customization
You can use source code to customize the user experience. At the same time, you can configure database name and user as well.

Note that, Manage Ads (using jQuery) has a bug in IE. The JavaScript for adding an Ad does not work well in IE. But it is working fine in FireFox. 

Good luck!
