Updating the Activities Plus configuration file

This topic guides as you replace variables in the boards-cp.yaml file with values appopriate for Activities Plus in the Component Pack environment.

Before you begin

  1. Activities Plus (Kudos Boards) is a free entitlement. However, it requires a licence key, which you can obtain at the Kudos Apps Store.
  2. Locate the file boards-cp.yaml in - [extractedFolder]/microservices_connections/hybridcloud/support/kudosboards
  3. Activities Plus uses the Mongo database already deployed inside the Component Pack. There is no configuration required for Mongo.

About this task

Important: Make sure that you check every variable in the file and and make them match those shown in the following example:
Note: If you are migrating Connections Activities data to Activities Plus, you must also update the migration variables. For information on migration variables and descriptions, see the table in Migration of Activities in the Kudos Docs help.
# Please read every variable and replace with appropriate value
# For details of variable meanings, please see https://docs.kudosapps.com/boards/cp/
