Portal V7.0 cluster: Prepare files for remote node migration

1. On the WebSphere Portal v8.0 server, run...
   cd PORTAL_HOME/bin
   ./genRemMigPkg.sh /path/to/remote/zip/dir

   Where /path/to/remote/zip/dir is an existing directory used to contain the generated file. Specify the full path to the directory.

   This creates file...

   PORTAL_V8.0.0.0_WAS_V8_OS.arch_RemoteMigrSupport.jar

   For example...

   PORTAL_V8.0.0.0_WAS_V8_windows.x86_RemoteMigrSupport.jar

2. Copy PORTAL_V8.0.0.0_WAS_V8_OS.arch_RemoteMigrSupport.jar from the WebSphere Portal v8.0 server into a temporary directory, for example supp_dir.

3. Extract PORTAL_V8.0.0.0_WAS_V8_OS.arch_RemoteMigrSupport.jar.

4. Ensure that read and execute permissions are set on the extracted files.

   For example:

   chmod -R 755 supp_dir
