How to export and import Page
Groups or Portal DB Providers in OracleAS Portal:
Oracle Application Server Portal has utilities (export/import) which
provide a copy of your portal content from server A to server B
portal installations. I use it to copy or update portal page groups
and portlets from a development instance to test and production
instances of OracleAS Portal.
Notice that you only can export and import only within the same
release of OracleAS Portal.
Steps to do export from the OracleAS portal instance A to the
OracleAS portal instance B:
>> Make sure that you have your �Provider� in the OracleAS portal
instance B. You must have your �provider� before you import the
exported OracleAS portal objects. The first time an export is
performed, the entire page group or db provider needs to be exported
and imported.
>> Create transport sets.
- Log into portal (http://host:7777/pls/portal)
- Select the Export link under Actions in the Navigator page. Notice
that the export links are not available for all objects (for
example, seeded page groups such as portlet repository,
documentation, etc cannot be exported, the same is true for certain
providers such as web providers, internal provider, provider group,
etc.) Also, the user can also select whether to export the access
control lists associated with the objects in the transport set. For
the Users/Groups which are part of the access control lists, choose
whether to include their preferences.
- Enter a descriptive name for your transport sets.
- Select your objects to be exported.
- Use the download UNIX script or DOS script option to create your
batch export program. For ex: export4me.csh
- On UNIX, change the file mode to be executable: # chmod 755
export4me.csh
- Run the script: #./export4me.csh �mode export
- Now, ftp the dump file and export4me.csh script into the OracleAS
portal instance B.
- Run the script on the OracleAS portal instance B: #./export4me.csh
�mode import
- The URL link pages will break and need to point to the OracleAS
portal instance B. Go to the Navigator page and change its link
properties. You should use a Page Link item type to create a link.
The Page Link item type dynamically generates the correct link at
runtime. Therefore, it ensures that links do not 'break' when pages
are imported into a different site.
- You can export the following object types: Page Group, Page,
Category, Perspective, Template, Navigation page, Style, Page type,
Item type, and Attribute in the Page Group; and Portal DB Provider,
Form, Report, Chart, Calendar, Dynamic Page, XML Component,
Hierarchy, Menu, URL, Frame Driver, Link, List of Values, and Data
Component in the DB Providers
Requirements:
