This method updates the positions recorded in a position set to reflect the ids of the nodes in the composite view of the layout. Any position nodes already in existence are reused to reduce database interaction needed to generate a new ID attribute. If any are left over after updating those position elements are removed. If no position set existed a new one is created for the parent. If no ILF nodes are found in the parent node then the position set as a whole is reclaimed.

Throws:

PortalException
