Updates for Web Content Manager
These are additional migration steps required for Web Content Manager after data migration is complete.
Updating Web Content Manager pages theme
Before using Web Content Manager in virtual portals that are created after migration by using default portal content from an older release, you must update the theme to Portal 8.5 theme. Otherwise, Web Content Manager related portlets do not work properly. If you upgraded or migrated to WebSphere Portal Express Version 8.5 CF04 or later, then you do not need to complete the following steps.
Convert the IBM Portlet API Web Content Viewer to the JSR 286 Web Content Viewer
If you use the IBM® Portlet API Web Content Viewer portlet in your source environment, you must complete the following task after migration to convert to the JSR 286 Web Content Viewer.
Convert the IBM Portlet API Remote Web Content Viewer to the JSR 286 Web Content Viewer
If you use the IBM Portlet API Remote Web Content Viewer portlet in your source environment, you must complete the following task after migration to convert to the JSR 286 Web Content Viewer.
Option 1: Remote web content rendering with JSR 286 Web Content Viewer via WSRP
The source rendering portal of the migration does not contain the web content it delivers. Instead the IBM Portlet API Remote Web Content Viewer connects to another portal of your source environment to retrieve the web content.
Options 2 and 3: Local web content rendering with JSR 286 Web Content Viewer
The source rendering portal of the migration does not contain the web content it delivers. Instead the IBM Portlet API Remote Web Content Viewer connects to another portal of your source environment to retrieve the web content.
Converting an IBM API Web Content Viewer to the JSR 286 API
As installed by default, the Web Content Viewer is based on the JSR 286 API. If you have a Web Content Viewer that is based on the older IBM API, you can convert the viewer to the JSR 286 API. Use the convert-wcm-rendering-portlet task to convert the IBM API Web Content Viewer settings and instances to the JSR 286 Web Content Viewer portlet.
