To Export Portal Data

You can archive the following portal data in a par file:

• Data stored in the Access Manager directory

• Desktop file system files, located by default in the /var/opt/SUNWportal/portals/portal-id/desktop directory

• Desktop customized classes, located by default in the /var/opt/SUNWportal/portals/portal-id/desktop/classes directory

• Portal Server web applications, located by default in the /var/opt/SUNWportal/portals/portal-id/war directory

• Portal Server web source data, located by default in the /var/opt/SUNWportal/portals/portal-id/web-src directory

After you archive data, you can import the data to the same portal or to a different portal. To export a portal from psconsole:

1. Login to the Portal Server Management Console.

2. Select the Portals tab.

3. Select a portal from the table.

4. Click the Export button.

5. Specify the par file location on the Portal Server machine and what you want to export:

   • All Desktop data — the exported par includes file system data and display profile data

   • File system data only — the exported par file includes only the desktop file system data, which is data deployed into the portal desktop and portal web-src

   • Display profile data only — the exported par includes only display profile data
