Enabling the IPF 4.x portal for development

To migrate portal content, you must first enable the portal for development and create a new content version.

  1. Launch the Portal Manager for the IPF 4.x configured portal for which to import content.
  2. Select Portal Configuration > Developer Options.
  3. Click Enable Portal for Development.
  4. On the New Editable Content Version form, specify this information:
    Originator
    Specify the originator you used for the IPF 3.1 custom content.
    Default Feature
    Specify Default. For portals, if any existing components have another feature, that feature is maintained during migration even when you specify Default here.
  5. Click OK and then Yes.
  6. Click Save. On the Content Activations tab under Portal Configuration, the new content version is added with the highest priority, because only content with the highest priority should be modified. The Default feature is activated automatically.

    The content version is also added on the Content Versions tab under Content Development. It is enabled for development and in a locked state. You should export it now and check it in to your source control system.

  7. Select Content Development > Export Components.
  8. Select the check box next to the locked content version.
  9. Specify the target folder to which to export the component.
  10. Click Export. A summary form is displayed.
  11. Click Start.
  12. You may need to click Refresh to see when the content version has been unlocked.
