Synchronize News data with other applications

Edit settings in the news-config.xml file to define the interval at which data from the Connections applications is synchronized with the News repository.

To ensure the information received by the News repository is analyzed correctly, News maintains a list of colleagues for each user. The list of colleagues is synchronized from the Connections Profiles application. The interval at which data is synchronized is specified using the frequencyInHours setting. By default, the synchronization is set to take place every 24 hours.

To configure the data synchronization task.

1. Check out the News cell-level configuration file :
   cd app_server_root/profiles/Dmgr01/bin
   ./wsadmin.sh -lang jython
   execfile("newsAdmin.py")
   NewsCellConfig.checkOutConfig("/tmp", "cellName")

   To get cellname...

   print AdminControl.getCell()

   The command displays this message:

   News Cell Level configuration file successfully checked out.

2. Edit news-config.xml

3. Locate the section containing the dataSynchronization task and make the necessary changes.

   For example, the following code specifies that data is synchronized between the News repository and the Connections applications every 24 hours. The information is copied over only if it hasn't been copied already in the last 24 hours.

   <dataSynchronization>
     <frequencyInHours>24</frequencyInHours>
   </dataSynchronization>

4. Check the configuration files back in.

   Do so during the same wsadmin session in which you checked them out.
