Change the theme default profile

We can change the profile for the theme, or a specific page, to define the modules loaded.

WebDAV

1. Connect the WebDAV client to...
   http://<server>:<portal>/wps/mycontenthandler/dav/themelist/

2. Navigate to the folder for the theme.

3. Copy metadata.properties to your local drive.

4. Modify the local copy to point to the desired profile desired. For example...
   com.ibm.portal.themetype=CSA2
   resourceaggregation.profile=profiles/profile_lightweight.json

5. Copy the local copy of metadata.properties back into the folder for the theme in the themelist folder.

xmlaccess

1. Export the theme.

   We can export all themes defined for WebSphere Portal using the following script, or insert the specific theme object ID to export:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   <request xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
               xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="PortalConfig_8.5.0.xsd" type="export"
               create-oids="true">
        <portal action="locate">
          <theme action="export" objectid="*" />
       </portal>
    </request>

2. Point to the new profile. For example:

   <parameter name="resourceaggregation.profile" type="string" update="set"><![CDATA[profiles/profile_lightweight.json]]>
   </parameter>

3. Import the XML file using the command line or Import XML.

4. Restart WebSphere Portal.
