Portal General Settings Migration

From time to time, we may need to make adjustments to the 'General Settings' page under PeopleTools > Portal.


What if we want to migrate/script these changes instead of manually performing the updates in each environment?

Portal Description, Default Template, Owner ID and Folder Navigation

Any changes to the Portal Description, Default Template, Owner ID and Folder Navigation can be simply migrated using the Portal definition as shown below.

Portal Search, Navigation and Header Frame Options


The Portal Search, Navigation and Header Frame Options are all stored as CREF attributes of a hidden content reference (PT_PORTAL_PROFILE_APPS91). Again, we can simply migrate this CREF object for any associated changes.

Node Templates

Finally, the Node Templates appears to be stored directly in PSPRDMCNTPRV SQL table. So, if we want to automate a change to these values, we can simply write a SQL script to update the necessary rows in this table.
