Administer Bookmarks
You configure and administer Bookmarks using scripts accessed using wsadmin. Changes to Bookmarks configuration settings require a restart of the Bookmarks server before they take effect. Changes made using administrative commands take effect immediately. There are two ways you can update your Bookmarks environment:
- Configuration settings: These settings control various configurable features within Bookmarks. They require a server restart to take effect, and they all have the following form: DogearCellConfig.<command_name>(<arguments>) .
- Administrative commands: These commands control various aspects of the Bookmarks environment and community users. They do not require a server restart to take effect, and they take the following form: <service_name>Service.<command_name, arguments>.
When you make configuration changes, you use scripts to check out the Bookmarks configuration file, make changes, and then check the file back in.
When you use administrative commands to control the operation of a Bookmarks server, no file checkout is necessary and your changes take effect immediately.
- Accessing the Bookmarks configuration file
To make configuration changes to a Bookmarks deployment first access the Bookmarks configuration file.- Running Bookmarks administrative commands
Run administrative commands from the wsadmin command line to directly interact with Bookmarks. You do not have to check out files or restart the server for changes to take effect.- Filtering active content
The active content filter prevents a user from embedding malicious content in Bookmarks input fields. You configure Bookmarks settings using scripts accessed using wsadmin. These scripts use the AdminConfig object available in WebSphere Application Server Admin (wsadmin) to interact with the Bookmarks configuration file. Changes to Bookmarks configuration settings require node synchronization and a restart of the Bookmarks server before they take effect.- Change view and link thresholds
Use these configuration settings to change view and link thresholds for a Bookmarks deployment.- Configure favicons
Use these settings to configure favicons for a Bookmarks deployment.- Determining whether a site is an internet or intranet site
Establish a URL pattern in a Bookmarks configuration file to indicate whether a site is an internet or an intranet site.- Synchronize user identification data between Bookmarks and LDAP
Use the PersonService or DogearMemberService command to update external member IDs in the LDAP database for your Bookmarks deployment. These commands do not require a file check out or a server restart to take effect.- Delete unnecessary links
Use these commands to delete unnecessary links for your Bookmarks deployment – for example, to remove offensive content. These commands do not require a file check out or a server restart to take effect.- Configure the 4-in-1 bookmark form
If you have one or more Lotus Connections services installed under a different domain from Bookmarks, configure Bookmarks so that it can exchange authentication information with the servers for the other services.- View and collect Bookmarks metrics
Enter a URL to view a standard set of Bookmarks metrics, or use administrative commands to collect metrics for the Bookmarks feature and write them to a file. No file check out or server restart is required when using these commands.- Manage multiple Bookmark buttons
If you are creating bookmarks on more than one server, you may have to rename your Bookmark browser buttons to avoid conflicts.
