Integrate Profiles with Lotus Quickr


Overview

You can configure the LotusConnections-config.xml file to include a link to IBM Lotus Quickr on the Profiles business card. Users can then click the Quickr link in another person's business card to open that person's personal file library in Lotus Quickr. This integration is currently only supported by Lotus Quickr services for Lotus Domino.

When you add a Quickr link to the Profiles business card in a Lotus Quickr for Lotus Domino deployment, the link only works with Entry places. The link does not work with regular places. The Lotus Quickr Domino administrator must run the qptool to create Entry places for users on the server; users cannot create Entry places for themselves. For information about how to create Lotus Quickr entry places, go to: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/lqkrdom/v8/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.lotus.quickr.dominov82.doc/config/qp_inst_entry_create_places.html

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

The Profiles business card serves as a interface that other applications can leverage to integrate with Lotus Connections. You can enable integration with Lotus Quickr for Lotus Domino in the inline and pop-up business cards by adding a service reference to the LotusConnections-config.xml file. With Lotus Quickr integration, users can click the Quickr link in another person's business card to access that person's public files and the files that they've shared with the user in Lotus Quickr.


Enable a Lotus Quickr link on the business card

  1. Use wsadmin to access and check out the Lotus Connections configuration files.

  2. Access the Lotus Connections configuration file:

    • Stand-alone deployment: execfile("connectionsConfig.py")

    • Network deployment: execfile("WAS_HOME/profiles/Dmgr01/config/bin_lc_admin/connectionsConfig.py")If you are prompted to specify which server to connect to, type 1.

      This information is not used by wsadmin when you are making configuration changes.

  3. Check out the Lotus Connections configuration files...

    LCConfigService.checkOutConfig("<working_directory>","cell_name") where:

    • <working_directory> is the temporary working directory to which the configuration XML and XSD files are copied and are stored while you make changes to them. Use forward slashes to separate directories in the file path, even if you are using the Microsoft Windows operating system.

    • cell_name is the name of the WebSphere Application Server cell hosting the Lotus Connections feature. This argument is required even in stand-alone deployments. This argument is also case-sensitive, so type it with care. If you do not know the cell name, do one of the following to determine it:

      • Stand-alone deployment: From the file system...

          WAS_HOME\profiles\profile_name\config\cells\

      • Network deployment: From wsadmin...

          print AdminControl.getCell()

      For example:

      • AIX/Linux:

          LCConfigService.checkOutConfig("/opt/temp","foo01Cell01")

      • Microsoft Windows:

          LCConfigService.checkOutConfig("c:/temp","foo01Cell01")

  4. Open the LotusConnections-config.xml file with a text editor, and add the following service reference to the file: 

      <sloc:serviceReference serviceName="quickr"
                       href="http://<www.myquickrserver.mycompany.com>/servlet"
                       enabled="true"
                       ssl_href="https://<www.myquickrserver.mycompany.com>/servlet"
                       ssl_enabled="true"
                       person_card_service_url_pattern="/QuickrEntry?email={email}"
                       person_card_service_name_js_eval="generalrs.label_personcard_quickrlink"/>

    ...replacing <www.myquickrserver.mycompany.com> with the name of your server.

  5. After making changes, check the configuration files back in, and do so during the same wsadmin session in which you checked them out for the changes to take effect. See Applying common configuration property changes for information about how to save and apply your changes.
