One way to create a new Portal project is to import an existing portal site from a WebSphere Portal server into RAD v7.5. Importing is also useful for updating the configuration of a project that already exists in RAD v7.5.

The portal site configuration on WebSphere Portal server contains the following resources:

• Global settings
• resource definitions
• portal content tree
• page layout

Importing these resources from WebSphere Portal server to Application Developer overwrites duplicate resources within the existing Portal project. Non-duplicate resources from the server configuration are copied into the existing Portal project. Likewise, resources that are unique to the Portal project are not affected by the import.

RAD v7.5 uses the XML configuration interface to import a server configuration, and optionally retrieves files from...

...of the Application Server installation. These files include the JSP, CSS, and image files for themes and skins. When creating a new Portal project, retrieving files is mandatory. To retrieve files RAD must have access to this directory, as specified when you define a new server for this project.
