These procedures describe how to clone web content data
from one system to another.
Procedure
- On the source system:
- Disable all syndicators
- Stop the Portal server
- Back up the data of JCR database name that is specified
by "
jcr.DbName
" parameter in the wkplc_dbdomain.properties file:Refer to the documentation for your database for specific
backup instructions.
- Restart the Portal server.
- Re-enable any syndicators that do not syndicate to the
target server.
- On the target system:
- Stop the Portal server.
- If the SOURCE and TARGET systems share the same JCR database/schema names, rename the existing JCR database/schema in TARGET.
- Create a new database, and restore the source system
database backup. Refer to the documentation for your database for
specific instructions.
- Restart the Portal server.
- Delete all syndicators and subscribers as they are not
valid for the target system.
- If the target system is using a different LDAP run the
member fixer tool to fix member information to match the new LDAP. First
run the module in report mode to see what member information requires
fixing and then run the tool in fix mode to fix various potential
member information mismatches.
- If you are cloning from an authoring system to a delivery
system, run the clear versions tool to remove any versions from the
delivery system.
- Set up syndication:
- Create subscribers and syndicators for this system.
- If the target system is a syndicator to the original source system,
leave that syndicator disabled for now. All other Syndicators can
be enabled
- On source system:
- If the target system is a subscriber to the source system,
update the syndicator with the new target subscriber ID and enable
syndication.
- If the target system is a syndicator to the source system,
update the subscriber with the new target syndicator ID
- On target system:
- If the target system is a syndicator to the source system,
enable syndication.
What to do next
When you finish cloning your web content data:
- Validate that the web content data on the target environment is
rendering correctly.
- Validate access control settings for both rendering and authoring
are set as expected, and working correctly for a selection of users.
- Validate updates are being syndication into and from the target
environment as expected.
