Migrate V6.1 web search collections
You migrate web search collections to WebSphere Portal v7.0 by exporting each web search collection from the earlier portal and then importing the web search collection into the new portal. You can also use the same functionality to move web search collections to a production portal after verifying them on a test portal, or to move web search collections to a configuration with remote search after verifying them locally on a portal. Exporting and importing portal site search collections into portal v7.0 is not supported.
1. Export a V6.1 web collection
Use the Manage Search portlet to export search web collections from a source portal. Before exporting a web collection, verify that the portal application process has write access to the target directory location.
2. Import a V6.1 web collection
After you export a search web collection from a source portal, you can import the data into a new, empty collection on the target portal. Importing a web collection retains most of the configuration data such as content sources, schedulers, filters, and language settings. If you configured such settings when creating the new collection, they are overwritten by the imported settings.
