Publish personalization rules

To export, publish, and delete Personalization rules on local or remote servers we can use the Personalization Navigator or the pznload script.

1. Export personalization objects using one of the following methods...

   • From the Personalization Navigator
     More Actions | Export

     

     You are prompted for a location to save a nodes file. This file contains an XML representation of all the currently selected personalization objects. We can export entire folders.

   • Run pznload with --export option
     cd wp_profile\bin
     setupCmdLine.bat
     cd PortalServer_root/pzn/prereq.pzn/publish/
     pznload --export --out filename --serverurl url --targetpath path --targetworkspace workspace --username username --password password

2. Send data to the appropriate server:
   pznload.sh --serverurl url --targetpath path --targetworkspace workspace --username username --password password

   --serverurl	The URL of the remote publish servlet. If not specified, the program attempts to connect to a WebSphere Portal server running on the local machine.
   --targetworkspace	The name of the workspace to publish to. The default workspace name on all IBM Content Manager run time edition installations is... ROOTWORKSPACE
   --targetpath	The location in the target workspace, which is the parent for the published nodes. The target path must exist before publishing. Example: If the export function was used on the folder /Projects/HR website, then the target path is specified as /Projects. So that the published resources are once again in /Projects/HR website.
   --username	A valid user on the target system with sufficient access rights.
   --password	The password for the user.
   --help

3. To delete objects...

   pznload --delete --username username --password password --targetpath path

   To force the deletion of a personalization rule without having to respond to a confirmation message, insert the --force flag after the delete command. For example...

   pznload --delete --username username --password password --targetpath path --force

Results

After a publish is started, we see status messages in the command console.
