Specifying the maximum seedlist page size for a service

You can update a property in the IBM® Connections configuration file to specify the maximum seedlist page size for a service.

About this task

Use the seedlistSettings.maximumPageSize property in the LotusConnections-config.xml configuration file to specify the maximum number of entries to display on a seedlist page.

Procedure

To specify the maximum number of seedlist entries per page, complete the following steps.

Use the wsadmin client to access and check out the IBM® Connections configuration files:
1. Enter the following command to load the IBM® 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.
2. Enter the following command to check out IBM® Connections configuration files:
  LCConfigService.checkOutConfig("working_directory","cell_name")
  where:
  - working_directory is the temporary working directory to which configuration files are copied. The files are kept in this working directory while you edit them.
    Notes:
    
    When you specify a path to the working directory on a system that is running Microsoft® Windows®, use a forward slash for the directory. For example: "C:/temp".
    
    AIX®, and Linux® only: The directory must grant write permissions or the command fails.
  - cell_name is the name of the WebSphere® Application Server cell that hosts the IBM® Connections application. If you do not know the cell name, display it by typing the following command in the wsadmin client: print AdminControl.getCell()
    Note: This input parameter is case-sensitive.
Optional: If you want to find out the current value of a property, you can list the current configuration settings and values by using the following command:
LCConfigService.showConfig()
Enter the following command:
```
LCConfigService.updateConfig("seedlistSettings.maximumPageSize",number_items)
```
Where number_items is a number greater than or equal to 100.

What to do next

Check the configuration files back in during the same wsadmin session in which you checked them out. For more information, see the Applying common configuration property changes topic.
