Configure the size of the mini reports-to chain

The mini reports-to chain that displays in a user's profile provides information about the people that the user reports to. You can configure the size of the reports-to chain to display the number of people that you want by configuring settings in the widgets-config.xml file.

To edit configuration files, use wsadmin. See Start the wsadmin client for information about how to start the wsadmin command-line tool.

To configure the size of the mini reports-to chain...

1. Use wsadmin to access the Profiles configuration files.

   1. Access the Profiles configuration files:

      • Stand-alone deployment:

        execfile("profilesAdmin.py")

      • Network deployment:

        execfile("WAS_HOME/profiles/Dmgr01/config/bin_lc_admin/profilesAdmin.py")

2. Use the following command to check out the widget configuration file:

   ProfilesConfigService.checkOutWidgetConfig("<working_directory>", "cell_name")

   where:

   • <working_directory> is the temporary working directory to which the configuration XML and XSD files will be copied. The files are kept in this working while you make changes to them.

   • cell_name is the name of the WebSphere Application Server cell hosting the Profiles feature. This argument is required even in stand-alone deployments.

   For example:

   ProfilesConfigService.checkOutWidgetConfig("/wsadminoutput", "jdoe30Node02Cell")
   

3. Open the widgets-config.xml file in a text editor.

4. Look for the widgetDef element that contains the reportStructure attribute. It should look similar to the following:

   <widgetDef defId="reportStructure" url="{profilesContextRoot}/widget-catalog/report-chain.xml">
      <configData>
          <attr key="numberOfNameToDisplay" value="4" />
      </configData>
   </widgetDef>
   

5. To change the number of people that display in the mini reports-to chain, modify the value of the numberOfNameToDisplay attribute. For example:

   <attr key="numberOfNameToDisplay" value="5" />
   

6. Save your changes and check the widgets-config.xml file back in...

   ProfilesConfigService.checkInWidgetConfig()

7. To exit wsadmin, type

   exit

   at the prompt.

8. Stop and restart the Profiles server.
