Scenario : Migration from Stage to Production

Usage of copyPortlets operation:

1. Consumer1 and Consumer2 are registered with Producer with RegistrationContexts^? RC1 and RC2 respectively.
2. User wants to migrate the portlets from Consumer1 to Consumer2 as a part of migration from a stage environment to production.
3. User invokes the copyPortlets operation on the Producer with the values fromRegistrationContext as RC1, toRegistrationContext as RC2

Usage of Export and Import Portlets operations:

1. Consumer1 is registered to Producer1 and Consumer2 is registered to Producer2
2. Consumer1 invokes the exportPortlets operation for a set of portlets on Producer1
3. If the data on the Producer is also to be exported, the parameter, exportByValue is set to true.
4. Consumer2 invokes the importPortets operation for the portlets on Producer2 and reconstitutes the portlets on Producer2.
5. Both the export and import operations can be performed by a single Consumer to reconstitute the portlets on a different Producer
6. Import/Export of Portlets may not be currently supported in our implementation
