Configuration properties control how and when various Wikis
operations take place. You can edit the properties to change the ways
that Wikis operates.
Before you begin
To edit configuration
files, you must use the IBM® WebSphere® Application Server
wsadmin client. For more information, see Starting the wsadmin client.
About this task
In the client, you access scripts that use the AdminConfig
object to interact with the configuration file. After changing the
configuration properties, you must synchronize nodes and restart the
Wikis server before the changes take effect.
To edit Wikis configuration
properties, complete the following steps:
Procedure
- Start the wsadmin client.
- Start the Wikis Jython script interpreter.
- Use the following command
to access the Wikis configuration files:
execfile("wikisAdmin.py")
If
you are asked to select a server, you can select any server.
- Check out the Wikis configuration
files using the following command:
WikisConfigService.checkOutConfig("working_directory",
"cell_name")
where:
For example:
WikisConfigService.checkOutConfig("/opt/my_temp_dir", "CommServerNode01Cell")
- Optional: To view a list of the valid Wikis
configuration settings and their current values, use the following
command:
WikisConfigService.showConfig()
Here
is some sample output from the
WikisConfigService.showConfig() command:
Wikis configuration properties:
security.logout.href = /wikis/ibm_security_logout
activeContentFilter.enabled = true
cache.user.timeout = 43200000
cache.http.publicContentMaxAgeInSecs = 604800
db.dialect = DB2
- Some properties must be edited using the wsadmin client;
others can only be edited by editing the configuration XML file directly.
To change a Wikis configuration setting, do one of the following:
- Optional: Repeat step 4 for each single-value
property setting that you want to change.
- Optional: After updating the Wikis properties
with new values, use the
WikisConfigService.showConfig()
command
to display the list of properties and their updated values. These
are the values that will be checked in with the WikisConfigService.checkInConfig()
command.
-
Check in the configuration file.
Note: You must check
in the file during the same wsadmin session in which you checked it
out. For more information, see Applying Wikis property changes.
