APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Composite application templates can come in either zip or
    xml formats. As well as this, Portal 6.1 supports the use of
    Portal 6.0 templates. A portal 6.0 template zip need only have
    three
    files:
    template.xml, template-binding.xml and template-metadata.xml
    (e.g. it doesn't need properties files that 6.1 templates need).
    Trying
    to import a 6.0 template (with only these three files) onto a
    6.1 server
    fails.
    
    Steps to Reproduce:
    - Export a template from Portal 6.0 (it should be exported as a
    zip)
    - Open the zip and delete all the properties files
    - Test that the import still works on 6.0
    - Try to import to 6.1
    - Template import fails.
    
    This APAR changes the template version check to also accept 6.0
    templates exported as zip.
