Enable the tagging of other people

Configure the profiles-config.xml file to enable users to tag each other with relevant key words.


To edit configuration files, use the IBM WebSphere Application Server wsadmin client. See Start the wsadmin client for information about how to start the wsadmin command-line tool.


You can control whether users can add tags to other people's profiles by configuring the tagOthers property in the Profiles configuration file, profiles-config.xml.

To enable users to tag other users...

  1. Use wsadmin to access and check out the Profiles configuration files.

    1. Access the Profiles configuration files:

    2. Check out the Profiles configuration files...

      ProfilesConfigService.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 Profiles feature. This argument is required even in stand-alone deployments. This argument is 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: See:

          WAS_HOME\profiles\profile_name\config\cells\

        • Network deployment: From wsadmin...

          print AdminControl.getCell()

      For example:

      • AIX/Linux:

          ProfilesConfigService.checkOutConfig("/opt/prof/temp","foo01Cell01")
          

    3. Microsoft Windows:

        ProfilesConfigService.checkOutConfig("c:/prof/temp","foo01Cell01")
        

  2. Use the following command to configure settings for the status update feature:

    ProfilesConfigService.updateConfig(<property>, <value>)

    where:

    • <property> is one of the editable Profiles configuration properties.

    • <value> is the new value with which you want to set that property.

    The following table displays information regarding the tagOthers property and the type of data that you can enter for it.


    The tagOthers property

    Property Description
    tagOthers.enabled Specifies whether users can tag other people.

    This property takes a Boolean value, true or false. The value must be formatted in lowercase. For example, to prevent users from tagging others:

      ProfilesConfigService.updateConfig("tagOthers.enabled", "false")
      

    Users can still tag themselves when the tagOthers property is disabled.
