In this recipe, we will the existing default portal site, referred to as classic, and modify the configuration files to rename the portal before importing it into GateIn.
The following are required for this recipe:
- GateIn-3.2.0.Final
- Deploying the CLI to GateIn recipe from this chapter to have been completed
To replicate the classic portal:
- Start the server.
- Open an SSH connection to the CLI by entering the following command:
> ssh -p 2000 root@localhost - Enter the password for root when requested. With the standard GateIn install, the password is gtn.
- At the shell prompt, enter the following command:
> mgmt connect - Enter the password for root user again.
- At the shell prompt, enter the following command:
> export --file /tmp/portal.zip --filter site-name:classic /mop - Open
portal.zip, which was created above. - Rename the
portal/classicfolder toportal/testing. - Edit
portal.xmlby changing<portal-name>totesting,<label>toTestingand<description>toGateIn Testing. - Edit
navigation.xmlby replacing all references to theclassicportal name withtesting, including the<page-reference>nodes and the labels ofsamplePageandgroupnavigationchanged toSample PageandGroup Navigationrespectively. - At the shell prompt, enter the following:
> import --file /tmp/portal.zip /mop - Go to
http://localhost:8080/portal/testingand the new portal will appear as shown in the following screenshot:
Step 6 exports the entire classic portal site from GateIn, including portal configuration, pages, and navigation nodes.
Note
The output from Step 6 can also be used as a way to migrate portal page content and structure from one environment to another. With the CLI import command, you can replace the environment's content with the newly exported ZIP file. Note that there are many other facets to a full migration, such as portlet applications and any portal customization.
Steps 8, 9, and 10 modify the configuration that was exported from the classic portal, and rename it to testing. Renaming the portal will create a new portal in GateIn as part of the import process, accomplished in Step 11.
