Configure profile types for widget layout 

To configure widget layout, you can add a profile type containing the widget layout configuration to Profiles in the widgets-config.xml file.

Before starting

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

Procedure

To add a new profile type for widget layout, perform the following steps.

1. From the dmgr host:
   cd $DMGR_PROFILE/bin
   ./wsadmin.sh -jython
   execfile("profilesAdmin.py")

   If prompted to specify a service to connect to, type 1 to pick the first node in the list. Most commands can run on any node. If the command writes or reads information to or from a file using a local file path, pick the node where the file is stored.
   

Check out the widget configuration file:

ProfilesConfigService.checkOutWidgetConfig("<working_directory>", "<cell_name>")

where:

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

• <cell_name> is the name of the WAS cell hosting the Profiles application. This argument is required.
  

For example:

ProfilesConfigService.checkOutWidgetConfig("/wsadminoutput", "jdoe30Node02Cell")

Save a copy of the widgets-config.xml file.

Open the file in a text editor.

Add a widget layout under the <widgets> element, as in the following example:

<layoutConfiguration>
  <widgets xmlns:tns="http://www.ibm.com/profiles-config">
    <layout resourceSubType="debug">
      <page pageId="profilesView">
