Verify portlets

  1. Go to Portal Administration and click...

    Portlet Management | Portlets

  2. Verify all portlets from previous version are present.

  3. Select each migrated portlet, click...

    Configure Portlet
    ...and verify that portlet settings were migrated correctly.

  4. For pages with Notes portlets, verify portlets are on the page after migration and work as expected.

 

Verify migration of portal clients

  1. Log in to the current Portal Administration page and click...

    Administration | Portal Settings | Supported Clients

  2. Verify the portal clients migrated show up in the list of supported clients.

    to verify that all settings for the client were migrated.

  4. Verify migrated clients are able to access WebSphere Portal.

 

Verify migration of user customizations

User customizations are artifacts that are attributed to a portal user that has Edit but not Manage permissions on a page. These are created when such a user changes the layout of a page or edits portlet settings.

  1. Log in to the current WebSphere Portal with credentials of users having the customizations.

  2. Verify that all user customizations from the previous version are present in the current version. We can also pick users at random and ensure that the users see the correct customizations in the current version by comparing them visually to customizations in the previous version.

 

Verify migration of credential vault segments and slots

These procedures help verify that the credential slots and segments were migrated successfully. Existing credential vault data must be migrated with a separate manual procedure that is described in the Migrating the remaining access control configuration section.

  1. Log in to the current Portal Administration page and click...

    Access | Credential Vault

  2. Using the Manage vault segments and Manage system vault slots options, verify that credential segments and slots from the previous version are now also present in the current version.

 

Verify migration of themes and skins

  1. Log in to the current Portal Administration page and click...

    Portal user interface | Themes and Skins

  2. Verify themes and skins that are listed are the ones migrated from the previous version to the current version.

  3. Verify that you are able to associate migrated themes and skins to existing pages and portlets, and verify that they produce the required view.

 

Verify migration of portlet applications

  1. Log in to the current Portal Administration page and click...

    Portlet Management | Applications

  2. Verify that the portlet applications that are listed are the ones migrated from the previous version.

  3. For each Web Module, verify that all the portlet applications also display in the Portlet Applications list.

  4. For each portlet application that is migrated and for which you have set up parameters on the previous version, click Edit portlet application next to the portlet applications list and verify that the parameters were migrated correctly.

    Verify the access control for migrated portlet application and portlets.

      Using the Portal Administration page click...

      Access | Resource Permissions | Portlet Applications | Assign Access

      ...to verify the access control information.

    1. Click...

      Access | Resource Permissions | Portlets | Assign Access

      ...to verify the access control information.

We can also perform a full export of the current WebSphere Portal after migration is complete and verify the roles in the exported XML file. Refer to The XML configuration interface for more information.
