Staging artifacts that are not transferred by syndication | HCL Digital Experience

The ExportManagedPagesRelease.xml file provides an example that you can use with the XML configuration interface to export all portal artifacts except pages and wires. You can use this file when staging to production with managed pages.

Before you begin

Stage artifacts that are not part of the syndication, such as portlet definitions, themes, and personalization rules with the release builder Portal staging tool. It ensures that the artifacts have the same object IDs across the staging systems because they are referenced by this object ID.

About this task

The file is in the PortalServer_root/doc/xml-samples directory.

Procedure

  1. To export these artifacts with the ExportManagedPagesRelease.xml file, use the xmlaccess command.

    The exported configuration is stored in the staging-version1.xml file.
