Configure Library widget options and defaults

  1. Check out library-config.xml

  2. Edit /tmp/library-config.xml

  3. Edit any of the following configuration properties:

    Configuration property Description Possible values Default Supported by
    displayPersonCard Display the person card for Enterprise Content Manager users. If IBM Connections, and Enterprise Content Manager users do not have matching email addresses, set this property to false.

    If exposeEmail is turned off, person card is no longer automatically disabled.

    		true/false true Library and Linked Library
    roundTripEdit Allow round-trip editing through the connectors. Disable this feature in environments where the connectors are not installed on desktop clients.

    Round-trip editing is not available on any Library that has draft approvals enabled, regardless of the roundTripEdit setting.

    		true/false true Library and Linked Library
    downloadThruProxy Download files through the AJAX proxy or directly from the Enterprise Content Manager server. Downloading through the proxy means more traffic through the proxy, but does not require users to reauthenticate to download in environments where SSO is not enabled.

    downloadThruProxy applies only if FileNet Collaboration Services and Connections use different host names. This scenario is uncommon, especially if we are using the new installation option for FileNet in Connections Content Manager. , see Configure the library widget proxy.

    		true/false true Library and Linked Library
    openInActionAsLink Show the "Open in repository" link on the document summary page, or as an action button in the toolbar. Add if users use ECM advanced features. true/false false Library and Linked Library
    allowCheckForConnectors Allow checks for the existence of the connectors on client workstations. This configuration option takes effect only when the roundTripEdit option is enabled (set to true). Disabling this feature makes round trip editing features available for users whether or not they have the connectors installed on their client workstation. This property might cause unexpected behavior on workstations where the clients are not installed. Disable this feature in environments where all client workstations have the connectors installed.

    allowCheckForConnectors uses HTTP only to check for Connectors. If we use HTTPS and Microsoft Internet Explorer, the browser prompts you :

      Do to view only the webpages content that was delivered securely?

    To remove these warnings preinstall Connectors on User Workstations and set allowCheckForConnectors to false if roundTripEdit in Connectors is required

    		true/false true Library and Linked Library
    displayViews Display the Views menu on the main document list. This menu shows all the Enterprise Content Manager views that can be shown. These views might not be scoped to the library the user is connected to.

    For a list of the views available from the Views menu, see Library views.

    		true/false false Library and Linked Library
    uploadTimeout Number of seconds to wait before a timeout occurs that ends a file upload attempt.

    Think carefully about editing this property. It is used by both the Linked Library and Media Gallery widgets.

    		Any integer 1200 Library, Linked Library and Media Gallery
    showLegacyLibraryMessage Display a warning message for non-teamspace FileNet Libraries. Applicable to Linked Library only. true/false true Linked Library
    useSSO All Linked Libraries have SSO configured with FileNet. This forces the Library widget to always use the Connections login page to authenticate the user. Applicable to Linked Library only. true/false true Linked Library
    allowChangeDocTypeDefault Default for whether users can select a non-default document type when we are working with files in a Library or Linked Library. true/false false Library and Linked Library

    If roundTripEdit in Connectors is not required in your environment, set roundTripEdit and allowCheckForConnectors to false.

  4. Check in the changed library-config.xml file:

      LCConfigService.checkInLibraryConfig("/tmp", "cell_name")

  5. After you make updates, deploy the changes:

      synchAllNodes()

  6. To exit the wsadmin client, type exit at the prompt.

  7. Stop and restart all of the Connections application servers.


What to do next

Check the configuration files back in after you change them. You must also check the files in during the same wsadmin session in which they were checked out for the changes to take effect. See Applying property changes for details.
