Use the Profiles population wizard in silent mode 

Run the Profiles population wizard in silent mode to populate the Profiles database.


Before starting

When you use the Profiles population wizard in interactive mode, the wizard automatically creates a response file called tdisettings.properties in the Wizards/TDIPopulation directory in the IBM Connections set-up directory. You can, if necessary, modify the existing response file or create a new one.

You can also modify the mappings files manually. For more information, see the Mapping fields manually topic.

About this task

To run the Profiles population wizard in silent mode...


Procedure

  1. Log in to your database server as the root user or system administrator.

  2. (AIX and Linux only) Grant display authority to all users by running the following commands under the root user or system administrator:

      xhost + // Grant display authority to other users

      Note: If granting display authority to all users is a security concern for you, change the command to grant display authority to a specific user or users. For more information about this command, consult your AIX or Linux administrator guide.

      echo $DISPLAY // Echo the value of DISPLAY under the root user

  3. Ensure that the Profiles population wizard has created the tdisettings.properties response file in the TDIPopulation directory.

  4. 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.

      Note:

      If you do not specify a mapping file, the default mapping file for your LDAP directory type is used. These mapping files are located in the Wizards/TDIPopulation directory, where you can edit the file for your LDAP directory type. For more information about editing the mapping file, see the Mapping fields manually topic. The following table lists the mappings files for applicable LDAP directory types:

      Table 1. Options to specify a supported LDAP directory

      Directory type Mapping file
      IBM Lotus Domino defaultMapping_domino.properties
      IBM Tivoli Directory Server defaultMapping_tivoli.properties
      Microsoft™ Active Directory Application Mode defaultMapping_adam.properties
      Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Active Directory defaultMapping_ad.properties
      Novell Directory Services defaultMapping_nds.properties
      Sun ONE defaultMapping_sun.properties

      The parameters for running the population wizard in silent mode are described in the following table:

      Table 2. 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 directory in the IBM Connections set-up directory.
      mappingFile (optional) full path to the mappings.properties file The mappings.properties file is stored in the Wizards\TDIPopulation directory in the IBM Connections set-up directory. If you do not use specify a different file with the -mappingFile parameter, the wizard uses this file to map properties 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/ directory for messages. The log file name uses the time as a suffix. For example: tdi_20090912_163536.log.
