Select the Import WebSphere Portal Express Content option from the migration wizard to import data from the previous version of IBM® WebSphere® Portal Express to the current version of WebSphere Portal Express.

Run the Export WebSphere Portal Express Content task before running this task. Use the following steps to import data from the previous version of WebSphere Portal Express into the current version:

  1. Specify the WasUserid and WasPassword in the wpconfig.properties file; see Configuration properties reference for information about editing the properties file.

  2. Ensure the server for the previous WebSphere Portal Express version is stopped.

  3. Ensure the server for the current WebSphere Portal Express version is running.

  4. Select the Import WebSphere Portal Express Content radio button on the migration task choice panel.

  5. Click the Next button.

  6. Type a WebSphere Portal Express administrative user ID from the current version of WebSphere Portal Express in the User ID field.

  7. Type the password for the above administrative user ID in the Password field.

    If you enter the wrong User ID and Password, you will receive an error message that says, "The specified WebSphere Portal Express administrative User ID and Password is not valid."

  8. Click the Next button to display the Import Content Preview screen.

  9. Click the Next button to run the import-portal-content task. The Task Progress screen displays.

    For i5/OS, the directories are wp_user_old_root and portal_server_root_user, respectively.

      • i5/OS:

        where profile_root is the name of the WebSphere Application Server profile where WebSphere Portal Express is installed; for example, wp_profile.

    3. Enter the following command:
