Using the Profiles population wizard in silent mode
Run the Profiles population wizard in silent mode to populate the Profiles database.
When you use the Profiles population wizard in interactive mode, the wizard automatically creates a response file called tdisettings.properties in the Wizards/TDIPopulation in the Lotus Connections set-up You can, if necessary, modify the existing response file or create a new one.
- (AIX only). If you are downloading the wizard, the TAR program available by default with AIX does not handle path lengths longer than 100 characters. To overcome this restriction, use the GNU file archiving program instead. This program is an open source package that IBM distributes through the AIX Toolbox for Linux Applications at the IBM AIX Toolbox Web site. Download and install the GNU-compatible TAR package. You do not need to install the RPM Package Manager because it is provided with AIX.
After you have installed the GNU-compatible TAR program, change to the where you downloaded the Lotus Connections TAR file, and enter the following command to extract the files from it:
gtar -xvf <Lotus_Connections_wizard>_aix.tar
This command creates a named after the wizard.
To run the Profiles population wizard in silent mode...
- Ensure that the wizard has created the tdisettings.properties response file in the TDIPopulation
- Open a command prompt, change to the TDIPopulation directory, and enter the following commands to launch the wizard in silent mode:
- AIX/Linux:
populationWizard.sh -silent <response_file>
[ -mappingFile <mapping_file>]
[ -dbPassword <db_password>]
[ -ldapPassword <ldap_password>]
[ -sslPassword <ssl_password>]
[ -help | -? | /help | /? | -usage]
- Windows
populationWizard.bat -silent <response_file>
[ -mappingFile <mapping_file>]
[ -dbPassword <db_password>]
[ -ldapPassword <ldap_password>]
[ -sslPassword <ssl_password>]
[ -help | -? | /help | /? | -usage]
where <response_file> is the full path to the tdisettings.properties response file, <mapping_file> is the full path to the mappings.properties file, <dbPassword> is the password for the Profiles database, <ldapPassword> is the password for bind user in the LDAP directory, and <sslPassword> is the password for the SSL key store. The parameters for running the population wizard in silent mode are described in the following table:
Command parameters
Parameter Value Description responseFile (required) full path to the tdisettings.properties response file After running the population wizard successfully, the tdisettings.properties response file is stored in the Wizards\TDIPopulation in the Lotus Connections set-up mappingFile (optional) full path to the mappings.properties file The mappings.properties file is stored in the Wizards\TDIPopulation in the Lotus Connections set-up directory. If you do not use specify a different file with the -mappingFile parameter, the wizard uses this file to map properites to the LDAP directory. dbPassword (optional) Database password Overwrites the database password in the response file. If you do not specify the database password here, specify it in the response file. ldapPassword (optional) LDAP password Overwrites the LDAP password in the response file. If you do not specify the LDAP password here, specify it in the response file. sslPassword (optional) SSL key store password Overwrites the SSL key store password in the response file. If you do not specify the SSL password here, specify it in the response file.
Results
After the wizard has finished, check the log file in the <user home>/lcwizard/log/tdi/ for messages. The log file name uses the time as a suffix. For example: tdi_20090912_163536.log.
- The tdisettings.properties file
When you run the Profiles population wizard, you can record your selections in two response files: a tdisettings.properties file and a mapping file.
