• About the XML configuration interface

  The XML configuration interface provides a batch processing interface for portal configuration updates. It allows you to export an entire portal configuration or parts of a configuration, for example specific pages, to an XML file. You can then re-create the exported configuration from such a file on another portal.

• Changes to the XML configuration interface for this version of portal

  For WebSphere Portal v6.1.5 no changes have been made to the XML configuration interface.

There are syntax restrictions that should be considered as well as information about how to determine the objectids for portal resources.
