Administer Files
You administer Files using wsadmin to specify properties in a configuration file, or run administrative commands.
You edit the configuration file to control how and when various Files operations take place. You use the administrative commands to perform tasks that manipulate Files content. Changes to the configuration file require node synchronization and a restart of the Files server before they take effect. Changes made using administrative commands take effect immediately.
- Change configuration property values
Configuration properties control how and when various Files operations take place. You can edit the properties to change the ways that Files operates.- Running administrative commands
Use administrative commands to perform tasks that manipulate Files content.- Backing up Files data
Files stores data in both the database and a file system. This adds some complication in keeping the application available to users while backing up data.- View and collect Files metrics
Use the FilesMetricsService commands to monitor operations, product usage, and to make configuration adjustments when necessary.- Customizing e-mail templates
You can customize the e-mails that Files sends when a file is shared, or when a user asks to be e-mailed about new file comments or edits.- Synchronize user identification data between Files and the LDAP directory
Use FilesMemberService commands to synchronize member information between the Files database and the Lotus Connections user- Set a maximum size on files
You can set maximum sizes for files in the files-config.xml properties file.- Set a maximum size on libraries
Use FilesLibraryService commands to assign a policies to libraries. A library is a set of files owned by a person or community. A policy sets a maximum size for a library.- Working with policies
Use the FilesPolicyService commands to add, edit, count, and return information about policies. You apply policies to libraries to set a maximum size on those libraries.- Seeing library information
Use FilesLibraryService commands to see information about libraries, such as its owner, type, and size. A library is a set of files owned by a person or community and stored in the database.- Filtering lists returned by commands
Use the FilesListService commands to filter lists of maps returned by browse commands.- Printing information returned by commands
Use the FilesPrintService.saveToFile command to print information returned by other commands.- Disabling automatic e-mail notification on download
When an authenticated user downloads a file for the first time, Files automatically sets a preference so that the user receives e-mails when that file is edited. The assumption is that users want to receive e-mails about updates to the file. You can disable this automatic preference-setting by changing a configuration property in files-config.xml.- Disabling file versioning
By default, when a user uploads a new version of a file it becomes the latest version, and all previous versions are kept. Users can see all versions of a file in the user interface. You can disable file versioning in the files-config.xml properties file.- Disabling metrics collection
By default metrics are collected for Files. You can disable metrics collection in the files-config.xml properties file.- Delete user files from the system
Use the FilesLibraryService delete commands to delete user files. This topic focuses on deleting the files of users who have been removed from the Lotus Connections user When the user update task runs it recognizes users missing from the directory, and marks their libraries as orphans. However, you can delete anyone's files.
