Administer content libraries

As an administrator you may need to periodically assist content managers with library maintenance, such as disabling or deleting a library. Keep in mind that some library tasks can reduce the performance of your server while running. Therefore library maintenance should only occur only during off-peak periods when the least number of users will be accessing a library.

• Creating Web content libraries

  You create Web Content libraries in the WebSphere Portal administration portlet.

• Deleting a Web content library

  When a Web content library is no longer required, you can delete the library.

• Disable a Web content library

  When a Web content library is no longer required, you can disable the library. This prevents the library from being accessed from an authoring portlet, preventing users from updating any items stored in the library. Any items referenced from this library will still be rendered in Web content.

• Unlocking a library

  A library may become locked when a long running task, such as restoring all content items in a library, fails to unlock the library. In the rare event where a library becomes locked, you can use the unlock library tool to unlock the library.

• Defining roles within a library

  Define item type roles within the Portal Content section of the WebSphere Portal administration portlet.

• Library version management

  You can restore a set of items within a library that either have the same label or were versioned at, or before, a specified date and time.

• Label a set of items in a library

  You can apply a label to the most recent versions of all items in a library. This does not create a new version, it simply updates the label of the most recent version. If you have created a label, at a later time you can restore items in the library based on that label.

• Set root access for all Web content libraries

  By default, only administrators have access to work with Web content libraries. To allow other users to work with Web content libraries, such as virtual portal administrators, assign them access to the JCR content root node.
