Deploying Content Selectors

Question

How do I deploy Content Selectors to a remote server. They do not seem to be packaged
into the EAR from Workshop. They do not show up on the WebLogic Portal Console
Admin by default - is there something else that I need to do?
- Thanks,

This has changed significantly since 7.0 from an EBCC based Datasync to a file
or database driven framework. A little background: In development mode, the
portal utilizes the XML files to describe Content Selection Queries within ".sel"
files stored within the META-INF\data\contentselectors\GlobalContentSelectors
directory. This is also the case when deployed in an exploded format. Once deployed
in a production mode as an EAR file, the Portal loads these files into the database
via the Datasync webapp at http://server:port/portalDomainDatasync/index.html.
There, options are provided to "bootstrap" the Master Data Repository and view
the resultant rulesets, as well as to merge and overwrite the files by uploading
a JAR to the server.
