Transfer individual domains
Overview
This section provides information on how to transfer individual domains to the databases you have installed and set up.
Domains are the database or schema objects that can be transferred in parts. The domains included in IBM WebSphere Portal include...
- Release
- Community
- Customization
- JCR
- Feedback
- LikeMinds
- WMM (Member Manager)
Separating the data allows us to share domains across multiple portals.
The different domains can also be spread across different database types. For example, we can choose to leave LikeMinds data on IBM Cloudscape and move all other data to another database.
Release, LikeMinds, and Feedback data cannot be shared between databases.
To maximize availability, the WebSphere Portal data may be distributed across multiple databases and shared between multiple lines of production.
WebSphere Portal data is categorized into four categories.
Community Includes...
- Shared documents
- Application resources
Administrators are allowed to modify or delete shared resources.
Community data is protected by Portal Access Control.
Configuration System properties of the portal server such as...
- database connection
- object factories
- deployment descriptors
This type of data is stored in the file system and is typically constant over the uptime of a server node.
Release Typically not modified during production. Includes...
- administrator defined pages
- portlets
- portlet instances
Administrators create release data on an integration server and stage it to the production system.
Release data can be protected by Portal Access Control.
Customization Associated with a particular user only and that cannot be shared across users or user groups. Typical examples are...
- Portlet Data
- Implicitly Derived Pages
Customization data is protected by Portal Access Control.
