Changing customizations after deployment

It is preferable to complete all customization steps before installing Ephox Editors for Connections on the server, but in some cases it might be necessary to make some changes directly on the server.

Procedure

  1. Make note of the location of the IBM Connections Customizations directory.
    The Ephox editors for IBM Connections installer needs to be provided with the location of your IBM Connections Customization path. The value for this is provided by the CONNECTIONS_CUSTOMIZATION_PATH variable within WebSphere Application Server. For more information on IBM Connections customizations and the CONNECTIONS_CUSTOMIZATION_PATH see the IBM® Connections documentation on customizations.
  2. Navigate to the customization directory of Ephox Editors for Connections.
  3. Edit the appropriate configuration file. For example, to select a different editor or to switch role-based deployment on or off, you must edit the config.js file on your Connections server.
  4. Follow the post-customization steps in the IBM Connections documentation.
  5. Stop and then restart the Common.ear application using the IBM WebSphere Application Server Integrated Solutions Console.
