| Hi
There are two ways around - if you still have the "YourCo Financial" page
available, you'll find an administration link when you switch to this page.
You can then change the default theme to something else i.e. WebSphere.
If not, you can use XMLAccess from a command prompt to export the portal's
configuration to an XML file which you then modify and re-import (ensuring
that you make backups along the way). I've done this in past when a customer
had made the "Admin with Left Navigation" theme the default and had removed
the YourCo Financial page. The process below changes the default theme from
"Admin with Left Navigation" back to "WebSphere".
1) Open a command shell and run the following script: -
\WebSphere\PortalServer\bin\xmlaccess -in
\WebSphere\PortalServer\doc\xml-samples\Export.xml -out
backup_config.xml -user <wpsadmin> -pwd <wpsadmin> -url
<hostname:port>/wps/config
2) Make a backup of the newly created configuration file before making
changes - this allows the configuration to be restored if errors occur.
3) Edit new_config.xml
Use a suitable editor to change the following two definitions: -
Old
<theme action="update" active="true" default="true"
defaultskinref="_K_081OJ2K0S802H6KB_3I Echo"
objectid="_J_081OJ2K0S802H6KB_36 Admin with left navigation"
resourceroot="AdminLeftNavigation"
uniquename="wps.theme.adminLeftNavigation">
<theme action="update" active="true" default="false"
defaultskinref="_K_081OJ2K0S802H6KB_37 Outline"
objectid="_J_081OJ2K0S802H6KB_3B WebSphere" resourceroot="WebSphere"
uniquename="wps.theme.webSphere">
New
<theme action="update" active="true" default="false"
defaultskinref="_K_081OJ2K0S802H6KB_3I Echo"
objectid="_J_081OJ2K0S802H6KB_36 Admin with left navigation"
resourceroot="AdminLeftNavigation"
uniquename="wps.theme.adminLeftNavigation">
<theme action="update" active="true" default="true"
defaultskinref="_K_081OJ2K0S802H6KB_37 Outline"
objectid="_J_081OJ2K0S802H6KB_3B WebSphere" resourceroot="WebSphere"
uniquename="wps.theme.webSphere">
4) Import the updated configuration file back into Portal
Open a shell and run the following script: -
\WebSphere\PortalServer\bin\xmlaccess -in new_config.xml -user
<wpsadmin> -pwd <wpsadmin> -url <hostname:port>/wps/config
PS Make sure you backup the XML file before you change it, in case things go
wrong.
Hope this helps.

| The exported file has plenty of problems and does not import (even when
unmodified). Attached is the code for a minimal XML that you can import to
switch the theme to WebSphere.
