Disabling a feature

You might decide to stop a feature temporarily for maintenance or if, for example, you are deploying the product and this feature is not yet ready for use.

Only perform this task if you want to disable a feature temporarily.

Do not disable features that are used by all of the other features, such as the news or search features.

To disable a feature...

1. Open the Integrated Solutions Console of the WebSphere Application Server that is hosting the feature.

2. Expand Applications, and then select Enterprise Applications.

3. Click the name of the feature that you want to stop.

4. Click Security role to user/group mapping.

5. For the person role, clear all of the check boxes.

6. For the reader role, clear all of the check boxes.

7. Click OK. Click Apply, and then click OK.

8. Now, remove the link to the feature from the navigation bar. To do so, use wsadmin to access and check out the Lotus Connections configuration files.

   1. Access the Lotus Connections configuration file:

      • Stand-alone deployment: execfile("connectionsConfig.py")

      • Network deployment: execfile("WAS_HOME/profiles/Dmgr01/config/bin_lc_admin/connectionsConfig.py")If you are prompted to specify which server to connect to, type 1.

        This information is not used by wsadmin when you are making configuration changes.

   2. Check out the Lotus Connections configuration files...

      LCConfigService.checkOutConfig("<working_directory>","cell_name") where:

      • <working_directory> is the temporary working directory to which the configuration XML and XSD files are copied and are stored while you make changes to them. Use forward slashes to separate directories in the file path, even if you are using the Microsoft Windows operating system.

      • cell_name is the name of the WebSphere Application Server cell hosting the Lotus Connections feature. This argument is required even in stand-alone deployments. This argument is also case-sensitive, so type it with care. If you do not know the cell name, do one of the following to determine it:

        • Stand-alone deployment: From the file system...

          WAS_HOME\profiles\profile_name\config\cells\
          

      • Network deployment: From wsadmin...

        print AdminControl.getCell()
        

      For example:

      • AIX/Linux:

        LCConfigService.checkOutConfig("/opt/temp","foo01Cell01")
        

   3. Microsoft Windows:

      LCConfigService.checkOutConfig("c:/temp","foo01Cell01")
      

9. To see a list of the properties and their current settings...

   LCConfigService.showConfig()
   

10. Enter the following commands:

    LCConfigService.updateConfig("feature_name.enabled", "false") LCConfigService.updateConfig("feature_name.ssl.enabled", 
     "false")
    

    where feature_name is the name of the feature that you are disabling.

11. After making changes, check the configuration files back in and do so during the same wsadmin session in which you checked them out for the changes to take effect. See Applying common configuration property changes for information about how to save and apply your changes.
