Export the Tivoli® Enterprise
Portal Server to create a copy of the TEPS data base for applying
to another computer or to keep as a backup.
Before you begin
The portal server can be running or stopped when you initiate
the migrate-export script. If the server is stopped, the script starts
it temporarily in a limited mode to accomplish the export. Do not
start the portal server manually until the migrate-export has completed.
