The following pre-installation tasks for IBM Connections Touchpoint are optional and
independent of one another.
About this task
Complete the task in the first bullet if you prefer that Touchpoint start automatically for users
until they have completed it. Complete the task in the second bullet if you don't want to allow
users to search for inactive employees.
Procedure
-
If you want Touchpoint to start automatically for all authenticated users for whom
touchpointState is not set to complete,
merge install-package/customizations/common/nav/templates/footer.jsp
into footer.jsp of your IBM Connections environment. You can find the footer
file at
WAS_HOME/profiles/profile_name/installedApps/cell_name/
application_name.ear/application_name.war/nav/templates. For
example:
Linux:
/opt/IBM/Connections/data/shared/customization/common/nav/templates/footer.jsp
Windows:
D:\IBM\Connections\data\shared\cusomtization\common\nav\templates\footer.jsp
-
If you want to exclude inactive employees when users search for colleague results at the
findColleagues page, 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, as in the
following examples:
Linux: /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/Dmgr01/bin
Windows: C:\Program Files
(x86)\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\Dmgr01\bin
-
Then run the following command: ./wsadmin.sh –lang jython
-
After the wsadmin command environment has initialized, enter the following command to
initialize the Search environment and start the Search script interpreter:
execfile("searchAdmin.py")
-
Check out the Search cell-level configuration file, search-config.xml,
with the following command: SearchCellConfig.checkOutConfig("working_dir",
"cellName"), for example, SearchCellConfig.checkOutConfig("/opt/search_temp",
"connectionsCelll")
-
Use the following command to exclude the inactive profiles:
SearchCellConfig.excludeInactiveProfilesSearchResults()
-
During the same wsaadmin session in which you checked it out, check in the updated
search-config.xml configuration file using the following command:
SearchCellConfig.checkInConfig()
-
Deploy the changes by synchronizing the nodes: synchAllNodes()
-
To exit the wsadmin client, type exit at the prompt.
-
Stop and restart the servers that host the IBM Connections applications.
