Who Should Read This Book

You should read this book if you are responsible at your site for migrating from Sun ONE Portal Server 3.0 to Sun ONE Portal Server 6.1 or upgrading from Sun ONE Portal Server 6.0 to Sun ONE Portal Server 6.1.

What You Need to Know

Before you migrate your Sun ONE Portal Server 3.0 or upgrade your Sun ONE Portal Server 6.0, you must be familiar with the following concepts:

How This Book is Organized

This book is organized into two parts and contains the following chapters and appendices:

Document Conventions Used in This Guide

Monospaced Font

Monospaced font is used for any text that appears on the computer screen or text that you should type. It is also used for file names, distinguished names, functions, and examples.

Bold Monospaced Font

Also, all paths specified in this manual are in Unix format. If you are using a Windows NT-based Sun ONE Portal Server, you should assume the Windows NT equivalent file paths whenever Unix file paths are shown in this book.

Bold monospaced font is used to represent text within a code example that you should type. For example, you might see something like this:

./pssetup
*******************************************************************

Sun(TM) One Portal Server (6.1 release)

*******************************************************************

Installation log at /var/sadm/install/logs/ipsinstall.13343/install.log

This product will run without a license. However, you must either purchase a Binary Code License from, or accept the terms of a Binary Software Evaluation license with, Sun Microsystems, to legally use this product.

Do you accept? yes/[no] Starting install wizard in graphical mode

In this example, ./pssetup is what you would type from the command line and the rest is what would appear as a result.

Italicized Font

An italicized font is used to represent text that you enter using information that is unique to your installation (for example, variables). It is used for server paths and names and account IDs.

Square or Straight Brackets

Square (or straight) brackets [] are used to enclose optional parameters. For example, in the Sun ONE Portal Server documentation, you will see the usage for the dpadmin command described as follows:

dpadmin list|modify|add|remove [command-specific options]

The presence of [command-specific] indicates that there are optional parameters that may be added to the dpadmin command.

Command-Line Prompts

Command-line prompts (for example, % for a C-Shell, or $ for a Korn or Bourne shell) are not displayed in the examples. Depending on which operating system environment you are using, you will see a variety of different command-line prompts. However, you should enter the command as it appears in the document unless specifically noted otherwise.
