XMLAccess flexibility in the use of project management WebSphere Portal

1 1. Introduction
In the process of doing projects, we often have one for the development and testing of the portal environment (test server) on the line and a real environment (production server), when the development after the test is completed, then the development of good portal set derived from the test server, and it their introduction to the production server. The traditional way we will test server development testing is complete, the production server again is a re-do, this is time-consuming and demanding. XMLAccessActually WS Portal provides a command-line tool called XMLAccess (XMLAccess is a small independent application rocedures, it uses HTTP server connectivity and connectivity. Therefore, we can visit and remote configuration portal.)
XMLaccess provide a command line for batch portal configuration updates and portal migration. You can make it all or part of portal configuration derived configuration to a XML file. Then, you can use the XML file in another portal to create derived configuration.

2. Xmlaccess the way
。 This command-line client is an independent process, it uses HTTP protocol and server connectivity. This also allows remote configuration and portals. Command line client included in wp_root / bin directory of wp.xml.client.jar paper, we can also use it remotely, only need to configure the Java Runtime Environment, modify Xmlaccess.sh document.

Xmlaccess.sh documents
#!/bin/sh JAVA=D:/Program/PORTAL~1/APPSER~1/java/bin/java WPS_HOME=D:/Program/PORTAL~1/PORTAL~1 ${JAVA} -classpath ${WPS_HOME}/bin/wp.xml.client.jar com.ibm.wps.xmlaccess.XmlAccess $* #! / Bin / sh JAVA = D: / Program / PORTAL ~ ~ 1/java/bin/java 1/APPSER WPS_HOME = D: / Program / PORTAL 1/PORTAL ~ ~ (a $ JAVA-ish $ () WPS_HOME) / bin / * $ wp.xml.client.jar com.ibm.wps.xmlaccess.XmlAccess


3. The use of basic grammar Xmlaccess
Xmlaccess is a command-line clients, included in the WebSphere \ PortalServer \ bin directory.： The basic command syntax is as follows:
./Xmlaccess.sh -in XML_file -user username -pwd password -url PortalConfigURL -out result.xml . / Xmlaccess.sh XML_file-in-user password - username-pwd url PortalConfigURL-out result.xml
： Of which:

Table 1 Xmlaccess basic grammar

Elements of Grammar Description
Xmlaccess Operation Access Control implementation of the script.
XML file XML file Treatment should include XML request (derived configuration or updating) the file name.
Password and user Requests should be used to describe the competence of the user IDs and passwords. user（DN）。 The user value, you must specify portal login brief period designated users; Not supports proprietary name (DN). XML XML configuration interface can be only in the virtual resources XML_ACCESS Manager on the role and resources in a virtual PORTAL Administrator on the role of user access.
PortalConfigURL PortalConfigURL 。 The URL from the portal hostname, during installation designated portal basic URI (eg / wps), and servlet extension / config components.
result.xml Result.xml Includes XML output (derived configuration) of the outcome document name.。 Later you can use this document has been re-introduction derived configuration.


4. Xmlaccess right portal resources there are five operational action

All that portal XML resources are a necessary element of the action attribute. XML action XML elements action attribute determines the right portal of resources of the type of treatment.
Allow following:

• Locate: logo and the XML elements (usually for other operational needs it as a context) corresponding portal resources.
• Create: A set of attributes to the new portal resources. A new resources can always be created, even if the same name already exists another resource.
• Update: with a given configuration data (properties and configuration data subordinate elements) update the corresponding portal resources allocation; If there is no corresponding portal resources, will create portal resources.
• Delete: Delete the corresponding element of this XML portal resources.
• Export: XML output includes orders corresponding elements of this portal resources XML representation.


5. Xmlaccess common scene
5.1. Portal Portlet migration (including Portlet authority)
First, from a portal (test server) derived moved the Portlet.ExportWelcomePortlet.xml。 Following is a portlet paper derived the script, named ExportWelcomePortlet.xml.

ExportWelcomePortlet.xml ExportWelcomePortlet.xml


： Use the following command-line implementation derived order:
./xmlaccess.sh -in ExportWelcomePortlet.xml -user wpsadmin -pwd wpsadmin -url http://localhost:9081/wps/config -out Out_ExportWelcomePortlet.xml . / Xmlaccess.sh ExportWelcomePortlet.xml-in-user-pwd wpsadmin wpsadmin - url http://localhost:9081/wps/config-out Out_ExportWelcomePortlet.xml
：Out_ExportWelcomePortlet.xml。 The outcome document is derived as shown in the following named: Out_ExportWelcomePortlet.xml.

Out_ExportWelcomePortlet.xml Out_ExportWelcomePortlet.xml
file://localhost/$server_root$/installableApps/WelcomePortlet.war
