Profiles population wizard in silent mode

Overview

If run in silent mode, the wizard creates...

Wizards/TDIPopulation/platform/TDI/map_dbrepos_from_source.properties

...updating the file with data from mappings.properties.

If used in interactive mode, the wizard creates...

Wizards/TDIPopulation/tdisettings.properties
Wizards/TDIPopulation/mappings.properties file

We can modify the mappings files manually.

Run the Profiles population wizard in silent mode

1. AIX only:

   The AIX default tar program does not handle path lengths longer than 100 characters. Use the GNU file archiving program, distributed through the AIX Toolbox for Linux Applications at the IBM AIX Toolbox web site. Download and install the GNU-compatible TAR package. The RPM Package Manager is already installed as part of AIX. After installing, to extract files:

   gtar -xvf Lotus_Connections_wizard_aix.tar

2. Log in to the database server as the root user or system administrator.

3. Grant display authority to all users:

   xhost +

   We can change the command to grant display authority to a specific user or users.

4. Echo the value of DISPLAY under the root user
   echo $DISPLAY

5. Ensure the Profiles population wizard has created...
   TDIPopulation/tdisettings.properties

6. Launch the wizard in silent mode:

   cd TDIPopulation 
   ./populationWizard.sh -silent /path/to/tdisettings.properties 
                         -mappingFile /path/to/mappings.properties
                         -dbPassword db_password
                         -ldapPassword ldap_password
                         -sslPassword ssl_password
   

   ...where...

   • dbPassword is the password for the Profiles database
   • ldapPassword is the password for bind user in the LDAP directory
   • sslPassword is the password for the SSL key store

   If a mapping file is not specified, the default mapping file for the LDAP directory type is used. These mapping files are located...

   Wizards/TDIPopulation

   ...where we can edit the file for the LDAP directory type.
