Create workspaces
Place the Tivoli Enterprise Portal in the "Administrator" mode to create workspaces that you can export and include in your solution.
Build the workspaces in the environment from which they are used. When you build workspaces, change the display settings on your computer to build workspaces at the minimum resolution that is normally used in your environment. Building workspaces at a greater resolution can create views that are too cluttered to be used reasonably at lesser resolutions.
To create workspaces that you can export and include in your solution, the Tivoli Enterprise Portal must be placed in the "Administrator" mode. To place the Tivoli Enterprise Portal in "Administrator" mode, use the following steps:
Procedure
- Go to the ITM_INSTALL/CNP directory and open the cnp.bat file. If you used the default installation, the directory is C:\IBM\ITM\CNP. In the cnp.bat file, you must update the set _CMD= %_JAVA_CMD% line to include option -Dcnp.candle.mode="$_KCJ_$".
To create extensions on Linux or AIX systems, use the following path:
/opt/IBM/ITM/li263/cj/bin/cnp.shWhere li263 is the operating system on which the Tivoli Enterprise Portal is running. The updated set _CMD= %_JAVA_CMD% looks similar to the following example:
set _CMD= %_JAVA_CMD% -Dcnp.candle.mode="$_KCJ_$" -Xms64m -Xmx256m -showversion -noverify -classpath %CPATH% -Dkjr.trace.mode=LOCAL -Dkjr.trace.file=C:\IBM\ITM\CNP\LOGS\kcjras1.log -Dkjr.trace.params=ERROR -DORBtcpNoDelay=true -Dibm.stream.nio=true -Dice.net.maxPersistentConnections=16 -Dice.net.persistentConnectionTimeout=1 -Dcnp.http.url.host=SKINANE -Dvbroker.agent.enableLocator=false -Dnv_inst_flag=%NV_INST_FLAG% -Dnvwc.cwd=%NVWC_WORKING_DIR% -Dnvwc.java=%NVWC_JAVA% candle.fw.pres.CMWApplet
The command is shown here on multiple lines for formatting reasons only.
- Open a new Tivoli Enterprise Portal Client, and log in with the sysadmin user ID.
- Set the "sysadmin" user ID in "Administrator" mode. In the Tivoli Enterprise Portal, select Edit > Administer Users. Select sysadmin and then under the Permissions tab, select Workspace Administration. Select the Workspace Administration Mode check box. If you make the selection correctly, *ADMIN MODE* is displayed in the desktop title bar.

What to do next
After you are in "Administrator" mode as depicted in (Figure 3), you are now ready to create workspaces for your application. For information about how to customize and create workspaces, see the Tivoli Enterprise Portal User's Guide online at the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Information Center. Alternatively, use the help documentation that is installed with the Tivoli Enterprise Portal component.If you want your workspaces to be "read-only" and to not be deleted by a customer, set the "not-editable" and "non-deletable" properties for each workspace. In the workspace properties, select the following properties:
- Do not allow modifications
- Product-provided by IBM (mark as non-deletable)
You can go to the properties by either viewing a workspace or clicking the icon with the controls on it. You can also go to one of the view property pages and then going to the workspace level in the properties tree. If you have more than one workspace for each navigator item, remember to set the properties for each workspace. As indicated in the following example screen capture:
