Before you import a migration package (.pte file), place
the package to a location that is accessible over your network.
Note: If you are also importing Collaboration or Publisher objects,
you must place the .zip file in the same location as the .pte fle.
To import a migration package you must be a member of the Administrators
group.

list, click Migration - Import.

and complete the following task:

A status message is displayed as the migration package
is being created. When the migration package is created, you can download
it to your desktop.

- Selecting Objects to Import from a Migration PackageYou can select objects to import on the Portal Resources page of the Migration — Import Utility.
- Resolving Import DependenciesIf any of the objects you are importing depend on resources that are not included in the package, those missing resources are listed on the Unresolved Dependencies page of the Migration — Import Utility. For example, in your migration package you may have a portlet that depends on a web service, which is not included in the package. You can resolve those dependencies by pointing to existing objects in your portal.
