PM18209: FULL PATH NAME IN XMLACCESS EXPORTS OF PORTLETS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Portlets with binaries located in the WebSphere Portal
  installation directory (i.e. /opt/IBM/WebSphere/PortalServer)
  are exported with full path names and thus corresponding
  XMLAccess exports in some cases cannot be imported to different
  WebSphere Portal installations without prior modification.
  
  XMLAccess results will include:
  EJPXA0183E: The URL file: <path> does not point to a directory
  as required by predeployed portlets. Please adjust the URL.
  

Local fix

• Adjust the binary locations in the export script the match the
  target environment.
  

Problem summary

• Portlets with binaries located in the WebSphere Portal
  installation directory (i.e. /opt/IBM/WebSphere/PortalServer)
  are exported with full path names and thus corresponding
  XMLAccess exports in some cases cannot be imported to different
  WebSphere Portal installations without prior modification.
  

Problem conclusion

• Replace installation directory name in URL with variable
  $server_root$.
