Edit settings in the news-config.xml file
to set the maximum size of microblogs in your deployment.
Before you begin
To edit configuration files, you must
use the WebSphere® Application
Server wsadmin client. See Starting
the wsadmin client for details.
About this task
You can control the size of microblog data in your deployment
by specifying the maximum number of characters allowed for entries
and comments in the news-config.xml file.
Procedure
To specify microblog settings, complete the following
steps.
- Start the wsadmin client from the following
directory of the system on which you installed the Deployment Manager:
app_server_root\profiles\dm_profile_root\bin
where
app_server_root is
the WebSphere Application
Server installation directory and
dm_profile_root is
the Deployment Manager profile directory, typically dmgr01.
You
must start the client from this directory or subsequent commands that
you enter do not execute correctly.
- Start the News Jython script interpreter.
- Use the following command
to access the News configuration file:
execfile("newsAdmin.py")
If
prompted to specify a service to connect to, type 1 to pick the first
node in the list. Most commands can run on any node. If the command
writes or reads information to or from a file using a local file path,
you must pick the node where the file is stored.
- Check out the News cell-level
configuration file using the following command:
NewsCellConfig.checkOutConfig("working_dir",
"cellName")
where:
- working_dir is the temporary directory to which you want to check out the
cell-level configuration file. This directory must exist on the server where you are running
wsadmin.
Note: AIX, and Linux only: The
directory must grant write permissions or the command will not run successfully.
- cellName is the name of the cell that the home
page node belongs to. This argument is required. It is also case-sensitive,
so type it with care. If you do not know the cell name, type the following
command in the wsadmin command processor to determine it:
print
AdminControl.getCell()
For example:
NewsCellConfig.checkOutConfig("d:/temp", "NewsServerNode01Cell")
The command displays this message:
News Cell Level configuration file successfully checked out.
- Open news-config.xml in a text editor.
- Locate the <microblogging settings> section of the file
and update the following lines as needed.
- Save your changes to the news-config.xml file.
- After making changes, you must check the configuration
files back in, and you must do so during the same wsadmin session
in which you checked them out for the changes to take effect. See Applying
property changes in the News repository for information about
how to save and apply your changes.
