The XML configuration interface

Use the XML configuration interface (XML Access) for exchanging portal configurations.

About the XML configuration interface
The XML configuration interface provides a batch processing interface for portal configuration updates. It allows you to export an entire portal configuration or parts of a configuration, for example specific pages, to an XML file. You can then re-create the exported configuration from such a file on another portal.
