Environment
Novell Identity Manager User Application 3.5.1
Novell Identity Manager User Application 3.6
Novell Identity Manager User Application 3.6.1
Situation
When you import multiple instance of the same portlet using the Portal Data Export tool in the User App , the import will only import one instance at a time.
No errors are given in the User Application, but the jboss server log has the following stack: ERROR:"[com.novell.afw.portal.aggregation.EboPortletProxyHelper:renderPortlet] PortletContainerImpl: failed to run the portlet: 'RegistrationPortlet'. com.novell.afw.portlet.exception.EboPortletOperationException: PortletContainerImpl: failed to run the portlet: 'RegistrationPortlet'. at com.novell.afw.portlet.core.EboPortletContainer.processOperation(EboPortletContainer.java:516) at com.novell.afw.portlet.core.EboPortletContainer.getMarkup(EboPortletContainer.java:215) at com.novell.afw.portal.aggregation.EboPortletProxyHelper.renderPortlet(EboPortletProxyHelper .java:284)"
Resolution
To be import multiple instances of the same portlet you must run the import for each instance of the portlet.
A bug has also been logged against this behavior which will be addressed in a future release of the UserApplication.
