Change configuration property values

Configuration properties control how and when various Wikis operations take place. You can edit the properties to change the ways that Wikis operates.

In the client, you access scripts that use the AdminConfig object to interact with the configuration file. After changing the configuration properties, synchronize nodes and restart the Wikis server before the changes take effect.

To edit Wikis configuration properties...

  1. Start the wsadmin client.

  2. Access the Wikis configuration files...

  3. Network deployment:

    If you are asked to select a server, you can select any server.

  4. Check out the Wikis configuration files...

    WikisConfigService.checkOutConfig("<working_directory>", "cell_name")

    where:

    • <working_directory> is the temporary working directory to which the configuration XML and XSD files are copied. The files are kept in this working while you make changes to them.

    • 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. If you do not know the cell name, do one of the following to determine it:

      • Stand-alone deployment: Look at the name after the following in the file system:

          WAS_HOME\profiles\profile_name\config\cells\
          

    • Network deployment: Type the following command while in the wsadmin command processor:

        print AdminControl.getCell()
        

    For example:

      WikisConfigService.checkOutConfig("/opt/my_temp_dir", "CommServerNode01Cell")
      

    To check out e-mail templates with the configuration files you can add the parameter includeEmailTemplates, and set it to "true". For example:

      FilesConfigService.checkOutConfig("/opt/my_temp_dir", "CommServerNode01Cell", includeEmailTemplates = "true")
      

    For information on e-mail templates, see the topic Customizing e-mail templates.

  5. Optional: To view a list of the valid Wikis configuration settings and their current values...

    WikisConfigService.showConfig()

    Here is some sample output from the

    WikisConfigService.showConfig()

    command:

      Wikis configuration properties:
      	security.logout.href = /wikis/ibm_security_logout
      	activeContentFilter.enabled = true
      	cache.user.timeout = 43200000
      	cache.http.publicContentMaxAgeInSecs = 604800
      	db.dialect = DB2
      

  6. Some properties must be edited using the wsadmin client; others can only be edited by editing the configuration XML file directly. To change a Wikis configuration setting, do one of the following:

    • To edit a property using the wsadmin client...

        WikisConfigService.updateConfig("<property>", "<value>")
        

    where <property> is one of the editable Wikis configuration properties and <value> is the new value with which you want to set that property. See Wikis configuration properties for a complete list of editable properties. For example:

      WikisConfigService.updateConfig("descriptionSummary.size", "500")
      

  7. To edit the value of a property in a configuration file directly, from the temporary to which you checked it out, open the file in a text editor, and then make your changes.

  8. Optional: Repeat step 5 for each single-value property setting that you want to change.

  9. Optional: After updating the Wikis properties with new values, use the WikisConfigService.showConfig() command to display the list of properties and their updated values. These are the values that will be checked in with the WikisConfigService.checkInConfig() command.


Check the configuration files back in after making changes, and they must be checked in during the same wsadmin session in which they were checked out for the changes to take effect. See the topic Applying property changes for details.
