Portal tasks
Complete the post-migration tasks specific to the way that we use WebSphere Portal.
- Web Content Manager
These are additional migration steps required for WCM after data migration is complete.
- Virtual Portal tasks
If we configured WebSphere Portal to use virtual portal, there are some additional steps needed to complete the migration.
- Import web collections
As a part of preparing the source environment, we exported web collections. After we export a search web collection from a source portal, we 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 we configured such settings when creating the new collection, they are overwritten by the imported settings.
- Import UX Screen Flow Manager dialog definitions
If we migrated from v8.0.0.1 with the UX Screen Flow Manager (UXFM) enabled, then we exported and removed the dialog definitions before migrating to v8.5. To import the dialog definitions into the upgraded system.
- WSRP
If we use the IBM WebSphere Portal as a consumer or Producer, complete additional steps to complete migration.
- Blogs and wikis
After migrating from WebSphere Portal v7.0 or 8.0 to v8.5, run a configuration task to update the presentation templates used by blogs and wikis to apply the latest updates. Run this task for content in the blogs and wikis to render properly.
- Set up Tag Center
If the target environment does not have a Tag Center page, run the following command to create one along with all the associated portlets.
- Tag and Search Center pages
When we migrate to IBM WebSphere Portal v8.5, the migration process does not apply the portal 8.5 theme to all portal pages. For example, this affects the Tag and Search Center pages. To continue to use the Tag Center and Search Center pages, update the theme for the pages to the v8.5 theme. We must also update the profile of the pages to the Search and Tag Center profile.
- Remove Person Tag hidden pages
Remove Person Tag hidden pages from migrated environments where Search for Portal Site was previously configured.
