Access the Bookmarks configuration file
To update configuration properties...
DogearCellConfig.updateConfig('[key]', '[value]')

..where [key] is a valid cell-level configuration setting, [value] is the new value for the setting.
Example:
wsadmin>DogearCellConfig.updateConfig('favIconService.favicon.maxAge','60')

The keys for changing favicons and the values the keys can accept are as follows:

Option Description
favIconService.favicon.maxAge Integer Small (fav) icons are displayed to end users next to each bookmark. Bookmarks downloads and caches these icons from the hosts servers for each URL. This setting determines length of time (in days) an icon remains cached locally before an updated copy is retrieved.
Default is 90 days.
favIconService.favicon.maxSize Integer Small (fav) icons are displayed to end users next to each bookmark. Bookmarks downloads and caches these icons from the hosts servers for each URL. This setting provides a cap (in KB) on the size of the cached icon to control image file size. The default is 6 KB.
favIconService.favicon.internetAccess String. If the deployment server cannot access the internet, set this value to false. This will avoid performance problems if the server cannot access the icon. Valid values are true or false.
favIconService.favicon.intranetAccess String. If the deployment server cannot access the intranet, set this value to false. This will avoid performance problems if the server cannot access the icon. Valid values are true or false.
favIconService.favicon.directory String. Although you can change this setting in the configuration file, the recommended approach is to set this location from the Websphere Application Server administrator console. Determines where the favicon image caches will be stored on the file system. This will be located on the local file system of each node machine.
favIconService.favicon.queuesize Integer.
Start from Connections 2.5, the request to update the favicon of a specific webpage will be handled by a scheduled task running at the server. Such requests will be put in the task queue and be consumed when the favicon is updated. This setting defines the maximum size of the requests the task queue can contain. When the queue is full, new requests will be discarded until the requests in queue are consumed. The default is 100.
favIconService.favicon.start Integer.
Provides the time (in minutes) the favicon task will start after Bookmarks service starts. The default is 5 minutes.
