Pompey will make the UEFA Cup for the first time if they win the FA Cup final against Cardiff in six weeks' time.
Redknapp said after Niko Kranjcar's goal proved decisive on Tuesday night: "We're just going to try to win all our games and there are some decent fixtures left. There's certainly no let-up after reaching the Cup final on Saturday."
He added: "I didn't have to do a lot with the boys to keep them going. Last Saturday on the coach back from Wembley, there were big celebrations.
"It's been a good week. You just hope that on the back of reaching a Cup final, you can still keep going. And the lads did great."
Redknapp left out playmaker Lassana Diarra, Wembley goal hero Kanu - who came on as a late sub - and injured striker Milan Baros.
But Pompey survived West Ham's early pressure and Kranjcar struck from an Arnold Mvuemba pass in the 61st minute after going close six minutes earlier.
Redknapp, who celebrated Pompey's 21st clean sheet of the season, added: "Niko's an outstanding footballer, real class.
"You all saw the goals he scored against England and Scotland for Croatia.
"Although we were without Diarra who had a dead leg, and Jermain Defoe who has gone to his nan's funeral, we found a system that suits us. I think it is our 13th away win in all competitions this season."
