Convert data directories manually

If the paths to your Lotus Connections data directories use local directories instead of network shares, convert the paths by updating the WebSphere Variables environment variables on your system.


If you have installed the first node of a cluster, or converted a stand-alone deployment, but have not specified network shares, then you need to convert the WebSphere Variables for Lotus Connections data directories to point to network shares instead of to local directories.

In a network deployment, the system paths to the Lotus Connections data directories must point to network shares, using the NFS Version 4 protocol for AIX or Linux®, and the UNC naming convention for Microsoft Windows®.

To convert the WebSphere Variables environment variables on your system to point to network share directories...

  1. Log into the dmgr Administration Console.

  2. Click Environment > WebSphere Variables. The default view shows all variables.

  3. In the WebSphere Variables page, update the environment variables in the following table:


    WebSphere Application Server environment variables for network shares
    Feature Description Variable name
    Activities

    Content store

    ACTIVITIES_CONTENT_DIR

    Blogs

    File uploads

    BLOGS_CONTENT_DIR

    Dogear Favorite Icons for bookmarks DOGEAR_FAVICON_DIR
    Files

    Content store

    FILES_CONTENT_DIR

    Search

    Index

    Dictionary

    Temporary Files download location

    SEARCH_INDEX_DIR

    SEARCH_DICTIONARY_DIR

    FILES_CONTENT_CONVERSION

    Wikis

    Content store

    WIKIS_CONTENT_DIR

    Notes

    • Change the WebSphere Variables for every server in the cluster.

    • The file paths to network share directories must use the NFSv4 format for AIX or Linux, and the UNC format for Windows.

    • The installation wizard automatically configures the feature_JDBC_DRIVER_HOME and the feature_HOME directories.

  4. Stop and restart all Lotus Connections clusters.
