Export Site Builder templates to other servers

Site Builder administrators can export published Site Builder templates to other HCL WebSphere Portal Portal servers that run Site Builder. To copy a site template or section template to another server, use the Export action under the Site Builder template name. There are two export options:

• To copy a Site Builder template to a virtual portal on the same host, we can export the Site Builder template and import all necessary files immediately to the virtual portal.
• Otherwise, export the Site Builder template to a file, copy the file to the other Portal server, and use the Import Site Template action on the target server.

Note: The site template name or section template name cannot exist on the target server or it does not display in the list of Site Builder templates on that server.

Export collects the site or section structure, the page templates, and any required libraries that we added to the template. Portlets and themes are not included because they are included with base portal.

• Export a Site Builder template to a virtual portal With direct access to a virtual portal setup on HCL WebSphere Portal, exporting collects all the necessary files and imports them immediately.
• Export a Site Builder template to a file HCL WebSphere Portal users can export a Site Builder site or section template to a file and import it to the target server later.
