Mobile mode configuration

To integrate Connections Engagement Center in the Connections mobile app, configure the mobile-config.xml file on the Deployment Manager.

Step Instructions
1 Open a command prompt (cmd.exe) and change to the following directory on the Deployment Manager system:

app_server_root/profiles/dm_profile_root/bin
2 Start the wsadmin client:

wsadmin -lang jython -user {admin_user_id} -password {admin_password} -port {SOAP_CONNECTOR_ADDRESS_PORT}
3 Access the HCL Connections configuration:

execfile(mobileAdmin.py)
4 Check out the mobile configuration file and create a backup:

MobileConfigService.checkOutConfig("<directory>", "<cell-name>")
5 Open the mobile-config.xml file and add the Connections Engagement Center application to the <Applications> section. If other applications are already configured, add the new application at the end of the section.
6 Add the Connections Engagement Center application to the <ApplicationsList> section.
7 Optional: Configure Connections Engagement Center as the default application by updating the <DefaultApplication> setting.
8 Optional: Hide the address bar or navigation bar by adding the appropriate parameter to the <ApplicationURL> value.
9 Check in the updated configuration file:

MobileConfigService.checkInConfig("<directory>", "<cell-name>")
10 Copy the icec folder from the Connections Engagement Center package's mobile directory to <CUSTOMIZATION_DIR>/mobile.
11 Fully synchronize the nodes and restart the HCL Connections servers.
12 Verify that Connections Engagement Center is available in the HCL Connections Mobile App on iOS and Android devices.

Step 5: Add the application definition

<Applications>
  <Application name="icec-app" enabled="true">
    ...
  </Application>
</Applications>

Step 6: Update the application list

<ApplicationsList>
  icec-app,profiles,communities,files,filesync,wikis,activities,forums,blogs,bookmarks
</ApplicationsList>

Step 7: Configure the default application (optional)

<!-- DefaultApplication: The application that the user is taken to after login. -->
<DefaultApplication>Updates</DefaultApplication>

Replace Updates with the value specified in the name attribute of the application definition.
