Use
configuration settings to set the maximum size of a
community description summary.
Before you begin
To
edit configuration files, you must
use the IBM® WebSphere® Application Server wsadmin client.
See Starting the wsadmin
client for details.
About this task
The community description
summary displays on the Public
Communities and My Communities pages.
Procedure
To set the size of the community description summary,
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 Communities Jython script interpreter.
- Use the following command
to access the Communities configuration files:
execfile("communitiesAdmin.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 Communities
configuration files using the following command:
CommunitiesConfigService.checkOutConfig("working_directory",
"cell_name")
where:
For example:
CommunitiesConfigService.checkOutConfig("/opt/my_temp_dir", "CommServerNode01Cell")
- To change the size
of the community description summary,
use the following command:
CommunitiesConfigService.updateConfig("property",
"value")
where
- property is
one of the editable Communities
configuration properties.
- value is
the new value with which you
want to set that property.
The following table displays
information regarding the community
description summary property and the type of data that you can enter
for it.
Table 1. The community description summary propertyProperty |
Description |
---|
descriptionSummary.size |
Determines maximum size in characters of a community
description summary. This property takes an integer value. |
For example:
CommunitiesConfigService.updateConfig("descriptionSummary.size", "40")
- 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 Communities for information about how to
save and apply your changes.
