ReleaseBuilder
Overview
Use ReleaseBuilder to compare a source portal server with a target portal server, creating an XML file with the deltas between the two servers. This XML output file is imported into the target server.
Features that are unchanged from source to target are not affected by the import.
Virtual portals use ReleaseBuilder with a slightly different procedure to...
- prevent redundant updates of resources shared between the virtual portals
- prevent update conflicts of virtual portal scoped resources
ExportRelease.xml exports the complete portal configuration, excepting private resources, by using attribute...
domain="rel"
xmlaccess.sh vs ReleaseBuilder
You can avoid using ReleaseBuilder by building xmlaccess create and destroy scripts. Create scripts to remove:
- Themes and skins
- Pages
- Portlets
One advantage to this method is that you can independently merge multiple development streams into a new portal.
