Change common configuration property values


Overview

Configuration settings control how and when various common operations take place. We can edit the settings to change how IBM Connections behaves.

Use the connectionsConfig script in the wsadmin client to interact with LotusConnections-config.xml. When you change common configuration settings, synchronize the nodes and restart the application servers.

Some properties in LotusConnections-config.xml cannot be edited with this procedure. They cannot be edited using the updateConfig command nor displayed using the showConfig command. Instead, check out configuration file using the checkOutConfig command and then edit the property values with a text editor. After editing the file, save it and open it in a web browser to make sure that you did not introduce any errors.

XML files that are well formed display in a web browser; if there are errors, the web browser reports that an error was encountered. After you fix any errors, check in the file using the checkInConfig command.

Use the showConfig command to determine which properties we can edit using wsadmins. Returns list of all the properties that can be edited using the updateConfig command and their current values.


Change common configuration settings

  1. Check out IBM Connections configuration files:

      cd app_server_root/profiles/Dmgr01/bin
      ./wsadmin.sh -lang jython -user admin_user_id -password admin_password -port SOAP_CONNECTOR_ADDRESS_PORT
      execfile("connectionsConfig.py")
      LCConfigService.checkOutConfig("/tmping/directory","cell_name")

    To determine cell_name: print AdminControl.getCell()

  2. Get current values...

      LCConfigService.showConfig()

  3. To change a common configuration setting:

      LCConfigService.updateConfig("property","value")

    where property is one of the editable IBM Connections configuration properties and value is the new value with which to set that property. For a complete list of editable properties, see Common configuration properties. For example:

      LCConfigService.updateConfig("versionStamp","")

  4. Repeat the previous step for each property setting to change.


What to do next

Check the configuration files back in during the same wsadmin session in which you checked them out. See Applying common configuration property changes topic.
