Exporting from My webMethods Server

You can export portlet pages from My webMethods Server to Composite Application Framework in two forms:

XML Import file. You can export the raw XML that is a serializable representation of a portlet or portal page.

If you have exported an XML import file, you can find it in the Navigator view, in this location:

portlet_application/WebContent/WEB-INF/config/xmlImport.xml

Deployable component (CDP file). You can export a binary representation of a portlet or portal page.

If you have exported deployable component, you can find it on the Navigator view, in this location:

After exporting, you can deploy this portlet application to another instance of My webMethods Server or to another location on the same server.
