Configuration settings control how and when various Forums
operations take place.
Before you begin
To run
administrative commands, you must use the wsadmin client. For more
information, see Starting
the wsadmin client.
About this task
Configure Forums by using Jython scripts that are accessed
by the wsadmin client. These scripts use the AdminConfig object in
the wsadmin client to interact with the Forums configuration file.
After you change Forums configuration settings, you must synchronize
the nodes and restart the Forums application server.
Procedure
To change Forums configuration settings, complete the
following steps.
- Start the wsadmin client from the following
directory on the system where you installed the Deployment Manager:
app_server_root/profiles/dm_profile_root/bin
where
dm_profile_root is
the Deployment Manager profile directory, typically dmgr01.
You
must start the client from this directory or else subsequent commands
that you enter might fail.
- Start the Forums Jython script interpreter.
- Use the following command
to access the Forums configuration file:
execfile("forumsAdmin.py")
If you are prompted to specify
a service to connect to, enter 1 to select
the first node in the list. Most commands can run on any node. If
the command specifies a file by using a local file path, select the
node where the file is stored.
- Check out the Forums configuration
files by using the following command:
ForumsConfigService.checkOutConfig("working_directory",
"cell_name")
ForumsConfigService.checkOutConfig("/opt/my_temp_dir",
"ForumServerNode01Cell")
- Optional: To view a list of the valid Forums
configuration settings and their current values, use the following
command:
ForumsConfigService.showConfig()
- To change a Forums configuration setting, use the following
command:
ForumsConfigService.updateConfig("property",
"value")
where
property is
one of the editable Forums configuration properties and
value is
the new value of the property. For a complete list of editable properties,
see
Forums configuration properties.
For example:
ForumsConfigService.updateConfig("task.TrashAutoPurgeJob.trashRetentionInDays",
"120")
- Optional: After you update the Forums properties
with new values, use the ForumsConfigService.showConfig() command
to display the list of properties and their updated values.
- Optional: Repeat step 3 for each property that
you want to change.
What to do next
Check in the configuration files during the same wsadmin
session in which they were checked out. For more information, see Applying
property changes.
