IBM Portlet API Web Content Viewer and Remote Web Content Viewer

If we use the Web Content Viewer portlet or the Remote Web Content Viewer portlet based on the IBM Portlet API, then plan for the replacement of those portlets when migrating. Both portlets were removed from Web Content Manager v8.5, and are no longer supported. Replace them with the JSR 286 version of the Web Content Viewer portlet available.

If we already use only the JSR 286 version, then we do not need to plan for any additional steps for migration.

Check which version you currently have installed on your source environment.

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

2. Search for the following files names:

   ilwwcm-localrendering-portlet.war

   This file represents the IBM Portlet API Web Content Viewer portlet and its portlet clones. If we find this web module, we need to perform a conversion for the migration. See Converting the IBM Portlet API Web Content Viewer to the JSR 286 Web Content Viewer.

   ilwwcm-remoterendering-portlet.war

   This file represents the IBM Portlet API Remote Web Content Viewer portlet and its portlet clones. If we find this web module, we need to perform a conversion for the migration. See Converting the IBM Portlet API Remote Web Content Viewer to the JSR 286 Web Content Viewer.

   ilwwcm-localrendering-portlet-jsr.war

   This file represents the JSR 286 Web Content Viewer portlet and its portlet clones. A conversion of this portlet is not required for the migration.

Parent Migrate from Web Content Manager version 7.0x or 8.0.x
