MIGRATING THE PORTAL
CONTENT
Real Experience. Real Advantage. 18
19. [ Upgrade of Standard Portal Content (EPC/EP)
ο§ During the upgrade process the relevant software components
and standard portal content are automatically upgraded to the
new release level.
ο§ During this phase portal related migration controllers
transform content to fit the new formats e.g. PRT Migration
Controller (PAR/WAR container), OBN, FPN, PCD.
Additional ones exist for the other NW technologies
ο§ The migration includes standard content provided by SAP such
as Portal Content (PCD), KMC content and configurations
Real Experience. Real Advantage. 19
20. [ Standardization on WAR-Format
ο§ In previous SAP NetWeaver releases, portal components were packaged in
PAR files (portal archives) that were deployed to the portal runtime.
ο§ In the current version, portal applications have a slightly different directory
structure, include additional files, and are packaged in WAR files, which are
ZIP files with a .war extension. WAR (Web Application Archive) is the
standard format for packaging web components for Java EE servers.
ο§ The portal provides an automatic migration tool for converting PAR files to
WAR files, and then packing them into EAR files. EAR (Enterprise Archive)
is the standard format for packaging Java EE applications. These EPA files are
backward compatible and will work seamlessly.
Real Experience. Real Advantage. 20
21. [ Using the PAR Migration Tool
ο§ The PAR migration tool is a wizard that enables you to migrate standalone
PAR files to the supported file format (WAR).
ο§ Note:
ο§ The tool transforms the structure of the application project. The tool does not
check internal dependencies and correctness of referenced APIs.
ο§ You may need to migrate the source code and adjust used (deprecated) APIs
accordingly.
ο§ Location: System Administration > Support > PAR Migration Tool
ο§ The tool provides the following options
for selecting the files to migrate:
ο§ Browse for files and upload them one by one
ο§ Upload all the files from a folder on local server
ο§ Upload files from imported transport packages
Real Experience. Real Advantage. 21
22. [ PAR Migration Tool
The wizard migrates PAR files (standalone / contained in SDA or SCA files) to the
supported file formats. You can upload and migrate multiple applications at once.
Result: EAR files that contain WAR files.
Note: the PAR migration tool does only transform the container! You may manually
adjust your source code according to latest NW 7.3 APIs and concepts.

ο Java Docs http://help.sap.com/javadocs/NW73/SPS03/EP/index.html
Real Experience. Real Advantage. 22
23. [ Transport Packages
ο§ The import process cannot import PAR files, or SDA and SCA files
containing PAR files, because PAR files are no longer supported. When
importing a transport package, the files that cannot be imported are saved
to the local file system.
ο§ The PAR migration tool wizard enables you to view these files, so that
you can select them and migrate them to a supported format.
ο§ After migrating the selected files, you can download the migrated files and
deploy them on your system.
ο§ Notice: The result of the migration is EAR files that contain WAR files, and
not files in the format of the source files (SDA or SCA).
Real Experience. Real Advantage. 23
24. [ Portal Application Development and Deployment
ο§ Portal applications are deployed as standard Java EE
applications. The Archive Uploader deployment tool is no
longer supported.
ο§ Common issues for consideration:
ο§ JDK incompatibilities
ο§ Use of non public APIβs (All public APIβs are maintained)
ο§ Use of deprecated parts that might have changed

26. [ Web Page Composer
ο Web Page Composer (WPC) was been significantly enhanced, e.g. with new tools and
concepts for the staging area.
ο The upgrade tool automatically migrates standard site and page infrastructure, Web
content and page layouts into the new format.
ο If you created own web forms and layouts you may need to adjust your templates β
especially if they contain non-default, custom editor components.

ο The forums application is part of a separate βPortal Add-onβ component and
thus not part of the standard support package stack.
ο Therefore it is not integrated in the standard installation or upgrade process.
ο If you want to use the forums application, you need to install or upgrade it
separately.

28. [ Portal Business Packages for SAP NetWeaver 7.3
ο§ SAP is providing special Business Packages for SAP NetWeaver Portal 7.3. As SAP NetWeaver
Portal 7.3 runs on Java EE5, customers cannot simply re-used current BPs. SAP enabled the
following backend releases:
ο§ Business Suite 7 (e.g. ECC 6.0 EhP4, SRM 7.0)
ο§ Business Suite 7 Innovations 2010 (e.g. ECC 6.0 EhP5; SRM 7.0 EhP1)
ο§ LM tools support the installation of Business Packages. During the upgrade phase the LM tools
check for the new 7.3 versions of your Business Packages / backend.

32. [ Adjusting Migrated Applications
ο§ Prerequisites
ο§ SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio (NWDS) 7.3 is installed
ο§ JDK 6.0 version is installed
ο§ Recommendation
ο§ Upgrade your custom applications (e.g. WD Java, PRT) to the
new release (using NW 7.3 sandbox environment) prior to the
actual upgrade.
ο§ Steps:
ο§ Import your application either in the initial PAR/SDA format or
the migrated EAR format to NWDS
ο§ Make sure that you use only public APIs for 7.3. For reference,
see the Portal API Javadocs at http://help.sap.com/javadocs > SAP
NetWeaver 7.3
ο§ Update references according to the table that is provided in the
developers guide. Deprecated means that although the DC exists
in 7.3, it is deprecated at the DC level. We recommend using the
new 7.3 reference DC in the new projects. For the full list of the
portal DCs and references, see SAP Note 1503649.
