Add a property to the LotusConnections-config.xml file to add a feed
that includes topics and the replies to the topics.
About this task
Configure Forums so that users can see topics and replies to the topics in a feed. You can edit
configuration properties in LotusConnections-config.xml to add this
capability.
Procedure
-
Create a directory (referenced in this procedure as working_directory) to
store the configuration files that you update. For example, on Windows create
C:\temp.
-
Use the wsadmin client to access and check out the IBM®
Connections configuration files:
-
Enter the following command to load the HCL Connections
configuration file: execfile("connectionsConfig.py")
If you are prompted to
specify a service to connect to, type 1 to
select 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 by using
a local file path, you must select the node where the file is stored.
This information is not used by the wsadmin client when you are making
configuration changes.
- Enter the following command
to check out HCL Connections
configuration files:
LCConfigService.checkOutConfig("working_directory","cell_name")
-
Open LotusConnections-config.xml in a text editor.
-
Add the following property to LotusConnections-config.xml, before the
closing tag for the file:
<properties>
<genericProperty name="forum.includeAllRepliesByTag">true</genericProperty>
</properties>
Note: If the <properties>
tag, is already present, add
genericProperty
to it.
-
Save LotusConnections-config.xml.
-
Stop the Forums Application in WebSphere Console.
-
Update the version stamp in LotusConnectionsConfig.xml:
LCConfigService.updateConfig("versionStamp","")
-
Check in the configuration file during the same wsadmin session in which you checked it out for
your configuration changes to take effect:
LCConfigService.checkInConfig("working_directory","cell_name")
-
Restart the Forums Application in WebSphere Console.
Results
Forums will have an addition feed Feed for these topics and their
replies that will also include replies to topics.
