Activating portal content

The default portal content includes site pages, layouts, component sets, style families, and help topics. You must activate the content for use in the current portal.

  1. In the Portal Manager, select Portal Configuration > Content Activations.
  2. Click New.
  3. Expand the appropriate back office version and select the content version to activate. In the Priority field, specify 10 and click OK. Application content is added to the form.
  4. Click Save.

    A check is made against the back office application to make sure the current version is compatible with the current portal content version. If it is not, a message is displayed. For a production portal, you must cancel the operation. The suggested changes must be made before portal content is activated. For a test or development portal, you can continue; however, you may encounter issues.

  5. If you are prompted to apply schema to managed data sources, click Yes. You must select all applicable check boxes and click OK. For more information, see "About managed schema" in the portal customization guide.

    After you click OK, the content for your portal is activated.

    Note: The Confirm Managed Schemas are Applied button is to be used by portal developers when new scripts are added for the portals. See the portal customization guide.
