Administer the news repository
You administer the news repository using scripts accessed using wsadmin. Changes to news configuration settings require node synchronization and a restart of the Home page server before they take effect.
Events are generated by the different IBM Lotus Connections features whenever an activity occurs in the system. Information about these events is stored in the news repository, and the Home page feature pulls data from the repository to display only the events that are relevant to a particular user on that user's Home page. You can configure news configuration settings to control how the information that the Home page receives from the news repository is stored and administered.
- Accessing the news configuration file
To make configuration changes to the news component in IBM Lotus Connections, first access the news configuration file.- Synchronize user identification data between the news feature and the LDAP directory
Use the NewsMemberService command to synchronize member IDs between the Home page and the LDAP databases. These commands do not require a file check out or a server restart to take effect.- Configure database clean-up
Edit settings in the news-config.xml file to define the interval at which the databaseCleanup task runs and specify when the IBM WebSphere Application Server scheduler starts the task.- Synchronize news data with other features
Edit settings in the news-config.xml file to define the interval at which data from each of the IBM Lotus Connections features is synchronized with the news repository.
