About the XML configuration interface
The XML configuration interface provides
a batch processing
interface for portal configuration updates. It allows you to export
an entire portal configuration or parts of a configuration, for example
specific pages, to an XML file. You can then re-create the exported
configuration from such a file on another portal.
Changes to the XML configuration interface for this version of portal
Learn about the changes that were made to the XML configuration
interface from earlier versions to current versions of IBM WebSphere Portal Express. This information
can be useful to you if you migrate your WebSphere Portal from one version
to a later version.
XML configuration reference
Learn more about XML input structure,
XML tags for portal
resources, attributes for special purposes such as localdata, objectid,
and more. Also find information about action attributes that determine
the type of processing to be applied to the portal resource. There
are syntax restrictions that should be considered as well as information
about how to determine the objectids for portal resources.
Sample XML configuration files
Sample files are provided for your reference to help illustrate
how to use XML configuration for different portal configuration purposes.
Before you use them, read the other topics about the XML configuration
interface carefully. Many of the samples need to be modified with
valid page or user name before they can be used.
