Convert the IBM Portlet API Web Content Viewer to the JSR 286 Web Content Viewer

If we use the IBM Portlet API Web Content Viewer portlet in the source environment, complete the following task after migration to convert to the JSR 286 Web Content Viewer. The Web Content Viewer portlet based on the IBM Portlet API was removed from IBM Web Content Manager v8.5, and is no longer supported. The migration process transfers the portlet and the portlet instances from the portal pages to the target environment. After migration, we must replace the IBM Portlet API Web Content Viewer portlet with the JSR 286 Web Content Viewer portlet. We can complete this task manually or with the conversion task as described in the following procedure.

  1. Check if we installed the IBM Portlet API Web Content Viewer portlet and identify potential portlet clones.

    1. Go to Administration > Portlet Management > Web Modules.

    2. Search for the web module with the file name ilwwcm-localrendering-portlet.war.

    3. If the search result is empty, then we do not have the IBM Portlet API Web Content Viewer, and we can skip this task.

    4. If the search result is not empty, then click ilwwcm-localrendering-portlet.war > Web Content Management - Content Viewer.

  2. Check if we installed the JSR 286 Web Content Viewer portlet.

    1. Go to Administration > Portlet Management > Web Modules.

    2. Search for the web module with the file name ilwwcm-localrendering-portlet-jsr.war.

    3. If the search result is empty, install the JSR 286 Web Content Viewer portlet from PortalServer_root/pzn.ext/portlet.localrendering.jsr/localrendering.war/installableApps/ilwwcm-localrendering-portlet-jsr.war.

  3. To convert the instances of the IBM Portlet API Web Content Viewer portlet to the JSR 286 Web Content Viewer portlet, follow the steps that are given at Converting an IBM API Web Content Viewer to the JSR 286 API.

    If we use clones of the IBM Portlet API Web Content Viewer portlet, we must also convert their instances.

  4. After you replace all instances of the IBM Portlet API Web Content Viewer portlet and of its portlet clones, uninstall the ilwwcm-localrendering-portlet.war web module.
