Configuration Tasks

Configuration tasks are used for all Web Content Management and WebSphere Portal installations. They are used to set configuration parameters in Web Content Management configuration files and to install the Web Content Management application and portlets onto the WebSphere Portal server.

The configuration tasks listed in the Web Content Management Information Center are designed to specifically update Web Content Management configuration files. Other WebSphere Portal configuration tasks not listed in this Information Center may not update Web Content Management configuration files and you may be required to edit the Web Content Management configuration files manually.

The following configuration tasks and procedures are used to enable and configure a Web Content Management application:

• The Create Tables Configuration Task.

  The Create Tables configuration task is used to create the necessary Web Content Management tables in the data repository you will use to store Web Content Management data. By default, Web Content Management will be installed using a Cloudscape database as the data repository. If you would like to use this as your data repository you can skip this step. This configuration task is only used when you are first installing a Web Content Management application and would like to use a different data repository from the default Cloudscape database.

• The Installation Configuration Task.

  The Web Content Management Installation configuration task is used to set configuration parameters in Web Content Management configuration files (connect.cfg, aptrixjpe.properties and aptrixsearch.properties) and to install the Web Content Management files onto the WebSphere Portal server.

• Update Cluster Configuration Task.

  The Update Cluster configuration task should be run when installing Web Content Management on a Secondary Node in a WebSphere Portal cluster. It changes the web.path in the aptrixjpe.properties file for each secondary node to point to the primary node. This is required because the secondary node uses the primary node's "installedApps".

• The Authoring Portlet (Web Content Authoring) Configuration Task.

  The Authoring Portlet (Web Content Authoring) configuration task will automatically create Web Content Management Portal Pages and install the Web Content Management Authoring Portlet (Web Content Authoring) and Local Rendering Portlets.

• The Repository Configuration Task.

  By default, Web Content Management uses Cloudscape as a data repository. The Web Content Management Repository configuration task updates the Web Content Management configuration to use a different JDBC data repository such as DB2.

• The Update Member Manager Configuration Task.

  The Update Member Manager configuration task should be run whenever a WebSphere Member Manager registry type is changed after the initial WebSphere Portal installation. E.g. - if the WebSphere Member Manager registry type is changed from the default database to LDAP. This task will re-configure the custom Web Content Management attributes within Member Manager.

• The Remove Authoring Configuration Task.

  The Remove Authoring configuration task will uninstall the Web Content Management Authoring Portlet (Web Content Authoring), Local Rendering Portlet (Web Content Viewer) and Web Content Management Portal pages.

• The Remove Web Content Management Configuration Task.

  The Remove Web Content Management configuration task will uninstall the Web Content Management application.

• Web Content Management Parameters in wpconfig.properties.

  The Web Content Management section of the wpconfig.properties file contains settings that are used by Web Content Management configuration tasks. This is located under the /PortalServer/config folder.
