5.6 Migrating from URL-Based Portlets

You can migrate URL-based portlets that are stored in a provider.xml file to Web Clipping portlets. These Web Clipping portlets will exist in the Web Clipping Repository, but you can access the portlets through pointers defined in the provider.xml file. Note that, during the migration process, no modifications will be done on the original files used by these URL-based portlets. This section describes the following tasks: ■ Section 5.6.1, Preparing for Migration ■ Section 5.6.2, Performing the Migration ■ Section 5.6.3, Post-Migration Configuration ■ Section 5.6.4, Maintaining Migrated Portlets ■ Section 5.6.5, Limitations in Migrating URL-Based Portlets

5.6.1 Preparing for Migration

Before you begin the migration, take the following steps:

1. Verify that the Web provider that contains the URL-based portlets you want to

migrate is functional. The migration process will not succeed with non-functional URL-based portlets. To verify, make sure that the URL-based portlets are used by your Portal pages and that they appear correctly.

2. Find existing URL-based portlets.

Before you run the migration tool, make sure that you know the file path to the service deployment properties file, which holds pointers to everything about the service, including the path to the provider.xml file that holds the URL services definitions. You must run the migration tool once for each service. If you have multiple services, find the entire list of service deployment properties files that will be used during migration. The location of these service deployment properties files may vary depending on individual deployment scenarios. Typically, with JPDK samples, they are located in: Domain_homeserversWLS_PORTALtmp_WL_userjpdk JPDK samples that are shipped with the Oracle Portal are located in the same directory path. The list of sample service deployment properties files include the following: ■ urlbasicauth.properties ■ urlexternalauth.properties ■ urlnls.properties ■ urlparams.properties ■ urlsample.properties
