Portal V7.0 stand-alone: Prepare files for remote migration

Before migrating to a remote server, prepare a directory containing required files from WebSphere Application Server combined with additional file that WebSphere Portal provides.

1. On the WebSphere Portal v8.0 server create the 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

   You must change to the bin directory before running this command.

   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.

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
