Updating the base entry on i5/OS

After creating and using a base entry, you may find that the base entry is not working exactly as you would like. You can easily update the base entry and make the necessary changes.

1. Use a text editor to open the wkplc.properties file, located in the profiles/wp_profile/ConfigEngine/properties directory.
2. Enter the following parameters in the wkplc.properties file under VMM repository base entry configuration to create additional base entries within the LDAP user registry to use when creating realms:

   1. For id, type the repository ID for the base entry.
   2. For baseDN, type the name of the base entry.
   3. For nameInRepository, type the distinguished name in the repository that uniquely identifies the base entry name.
3. Save your changes to the wkplc.properties file.
4. Run the ConfigEngine.sh -profileName profile_root wp-update-base-entry task, located in the profiles/wp_profile/ConfigEngine directory to update a base entry in a repository. Note: profile_root is the name of the WebSphere Application Server profile where WebSphere Portal Express is installed; for example, wp_profile.
5. Perform the following steps to stop and restart the server1 and WebSphere_Portal servers:

   1. Open a command prompt and change to the wp_profile_root/bin directory.
   2. Enter the stopServer server1 -profileName profile_root -user admin_userid -password admin_password command to stop the WebSphere Application Server. Note: profile_root is the name of the WebSphere Application Server profile where WebSphere Portal Express is installed; for example, wp_profile.
   3. Enter the stopServer WebSphere_Portal -profileName profile_root -user admin_userid -password admin_password command to stop the WebSphere Portal Express server.
   4. Enter the startServer server1 -profileName profile_root command.
   5. Enter the startServer WebSphere_Portal -profileName profile_root command.
