Configure LikeMinds
Use a suitable database modification tool or edit the likemindsdb.properties file to configure your LikeMinds server installation. Set the following general lps_cfg parameter information for the LikeMinds server installation:
- Basic server information
- Scheduling LikeMinds events
- Server load management
- Cache behavior
- Recommendation behavior
All these parameters are set in the likemindsdb.properties file. This file is in the directory wp_profile_root/pzn/config/runtime/likemindsdb.properties. The file is in ASCII. To edit it, use an ASCII editor.LikeMinds stores its configuration information in the lps_cfg table of its database, which is initialized with the data in the likemindsdb.properties file. To update this configuration, we can update this file and reload the configuration data, or we can use any database modification tool, to modify the LikeMinds configuration parameters. To update configuration values, complete these steps:
- Stop the HCL WebSphere Portal server.
- Edit the likemindsdb.properties file.
- Choose the appropriate task to update the configuration:
./ConfigEngine.sh likeminds-load-config -DWasPassword=password
- Use the DB modification tool to update the configuration directly.
- Start the HCL WebSphere Portal server.
- Estimating database size The size of the database depends on the application, as well as the number of users and items. View some general guidelines for estimating the size of the database, but your results may vary.
- Database performance View some guidelines for performance optimization in your LikeMinds database.
- Scheduling LikeMinds events Use the lps.schedule setting to schedule events to be fired at specific dates and times.
- Configure the LikeMinds engines
- Specifying recommendation behavior We can configure several parameters that affect the way the LikeMinds server generates recommendations.
