Using a new host name for an existing virtual portal.

If you want to use a new host name for an existing virtual portal, proceed by the following steps:

Export the contents of the virtual portal by using the XML configuration interface.                                 

/opt/IBM/PortalServer/bin/xmlaccess.sh -in Export.xml -user wpadmin -pwd xxxxx -url http://localhost:<portalPortalNumber>/<yourportalContext>/config/<yourVPContext> -out ExportVP_out.xml

 

Delete the virtual portal.

Clean up references to the deleted virtual portal by using the Task.xml script of the XML configuration interface.

Create a new empty virtual portal by using the configuration task create-virtual-portal. Use the context of the deleted virtual portal, and specify the new host name as required.

Import the contents to the new virtual portal by using the XML configuration interface.
