Enable the display of organizational structure information

Use scripts to enable or disable the display of organizational structure information in Profiles.

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

You can enable or disable the ability of Profiles to display information about where an employee fits within the company's organizational structure. You might disable this setting if your corporate service cannot provide the data that Profiles needs to depict organizational structure.

To configure the display of organizational structure information...

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

   1. Access the Profiles configuration files:

      • Stand-alone deployment:

        execfile("profilesAdmin.py")

      • Network deployment:

        execfile("WAS_HOME/profiles/Dmgr01/config/bin_lc_admin/profilesAdmin.py")

   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. To enable or disable the display of organizational structure information...

   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 organizational structure property and the type of data you can enter for it.

   The Profiles organizational structure property

   Option	Description
   organizationalStructure.enabled	Indicates if the organizational structure information (report-to chain, people managed, same manager) should be displayed. This property takes a Boolean value. true or false. The value must be formatted in lowercase.

   For example, to disable the display of information:

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

   If you choose to disable the organizational structure feature, also disable the reporting structure widget. This can be done by commenting out the widget in the widgets-config.xml file:

   <page pageId="profilesView">
   ....
   <!--<widgetInstance uiLocation="col3" defIdRef="reportStructure"/>-->
   ...
   </page>
