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'.

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.
