Ensuring proper Search behavior after migration

After you finish migrating your product configuration to the new portal environment, some manual adjustment is required to ensure that the Search Center functions properly on the new portal.

1. Stop the WebSphere Portal server.

2. If you migrated from V5.1.0, 5.1.0.1, 5.1.0.2, 5.1.0.3, 5.1.0.4, or 5.1.0.5:

   1. Add the code shown below to one of your migrated theme's Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) files to make the Search options easier to read:

      .main-menu-item, .main-menu-item-selected {
       background-color: #FFFFFF;
      }
      

      Adding this code providesr theme a plain, white background, making it easier to read. You can also customize the code to suit the color scheme of your theme.

   2. In the was_profile_root/installedApps/<node>/wps.ear/wps.war/themes/html directory, locate SearchBarInclude.jsp create a backup copy of the file, and then delete SearchBarInclude.jsp.

   3. Locate banner_searchControl_for_migrated_themes.jspf and change the file name to SearchBarInclude.jsp.

   4. To recompile Default.jsp and incorporate the updates to the other JSP files, enter:

      touch Default.jsp
      

3. If you migrated from V6.0.1.1 or 6.0.1.3:

   1. In the was_profile_root/installedApps/<node>/wps.ear/wps.war/themes/html/Portal directory, locate banner_searchControl.jspf, create a backup copy of the file, and then delete banner_searchControl.jspf.

   2. Locate banner_searchControl_for_migrated_themes.jspf and change the file name to banner_searchControl.jspf.

   3. To recompile Default.jsp and incorporate the updates to the other JSP files, enter:

      touch Default.jsp
      

4. Restart the WebSphere Portal server.
