Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments of a method, system and computer program product for deploying components of a site between systems in a portal framework. In one embodiment, file assets as well as non-file assets of at least one component of a site designated for export are stored as an export file. Non-file assets may be constructed as an extensible markup language fragment, such as an XML fragment, having a predetermined structure. In one embodiment, the site comprises a collection of software objects that can be manipulated by a set of users having assigned privileges defined by permissions associated with each software object in the collection of software objects. The export file is transferred to a remote system such as a web portal. The assets, which are configured to operate on the remote system, are extracted from the export file to a plurality of locations on the remote system.

Abstract: The deployment of components may be executed by performing various deployment type administrations. Components of a system may be exported and imported by storing assets of the components to a file and transferring the assets to another system for extraction. The extracted assets are configured to be operable on the system to which it is transferred. The assets include file assets and non-file assets. The non-file assets may be constructed as an extensible markup language fragment, such as an XML fragment, having a predetermined structure.
