Chapter 42: Upgrading <strong>and</strong> Migrating to SharePoint <strong>Products</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Technologies</strong> 1117<br />

Upgrading to SharePoint Portal Server 2003 consists of the following eight procedures,<br />

which are also documented in the white paper just mentioned:<br />

1. Back up <strong>and</strong> restore the SharePoint Portal Server 2001 data to another computer<br />

that is running SharePoint Portal Server 2001. Check that both systems work.<br />

2. Export the SharePoint Portal Server 2001 configuration information by running<br />

the Upgrade.exe program file, which is on the SharePoint Portal Server 2003 CD.<br />

You will need to specify a location. This can be a local drive or a network share.<br />

The upgrade process will create a directory named $$_<strong>Sharepoint</strong>PortalV1Export-<br />

Data_$$, in which will be a number of XML files with naming conventions<br />

such as _BestBetKeyWords, _Categories<br />

_$, _searchn, _Security, <strong>and</strong><br />

V1Export.XML, which contain the workspace details, categories, content<br />

sources, keywords, <strong>and</strong> Best Bets. V1Export.XML is a summary of your workspaces<br />

<strong>and</strong> contact names. You can edit these files if you do not wish to import<br />

a particular workspace or a category into your SharePoint Portal Server 2003<br />

deployment.<br />

3. Upgrade Windows 2000 Server to Windows Server 2003 <strong>and</strong> install ASP.NET. If<br />

you plan to rename the server, complete this change either before upgrading<br />

the computer to Windows Server 2003 or before you install ASP.NET.<br />

4. Use the Upgrade.exe program a second time, which upgrades the SharePoint<br />

Portal Server 2001 document store to the SharePoint Portal Server 2003 backwardcompatible<br />

document store.<br />

5. Install SharePoint Portal Server 2003. Every SharePoint Portal Server 2003<br />

installation includes a SQL Server content store. During the SharePoint Portal<br />

Server 2003 installation, the SQL Server content store is created to support<br />

the needs of the portal site <strong>and</strong> to support additional SharePoint sites<br />

created on the server. The original SharePoint Portal Server 2001 documents<br />

remain in the backward-compatible document store installed in procedure 4<br />

of this list.<br />

6. Import SharePoint Portal Server 2001 configuration information—that is, the<br />

categories, keywords, <strong>and</strong> content sources—into the new portal site by clicking<br />

Site Settings <strong>and</strong> then under the Portal Site Content section, clicking Import<br />

<strong>Microsoft</strong> SharePoint Portal Server 2001 data as shown in Figure 42-3.<br />

7. The Import SharePoint Portal Server 2001 Data Web page is displayed as<br />

shown in Figure 42-4. Select the content type you wish to import, that is, Areas,<br />

Listings <strong>and</strong> Best Bets, <strong>and</strong> Search. Choose the workspace from which you<br />

wish to import the configuration details, <strong>and</strong> then click OK.

Hooray! Your file is uploaded and ready to be published.
