About this task
Procedure
-
Unzip the file
ibm.nitro.integrations.connections.packaging-buildNumber.zip,
and copy all extracted files into the Community Surveys server extension directory. By default, the
directory is as follows:
- Windows: C:\HCL\Forms\extensions
- Linux and AIX: /opt/HCL/Forms/extensions
-
Edit the Connections_config.properties file in the extension directory, to
add the following two entries:
ibm.nitro.integrations.connections.Config.communityRoot = <Community root URL>.
ibm.nitro.integrations.connections.Config.authAlias = <connectionsAdmin>
- Replace <Community root URL> with the base URL for HCL Connections Communities, for example, http://connectionsserver/communities.
- Replace <connectionsAdmin> with The J2C authentication alias that handles Connections application-to-application communication, for example, connectionsAdmin.
-
Switch to the profile_root/installedApps/cellname/Community
Surveys.ear/builder.war/WEB-INF/classes directory and edit the
fsp.properties file and add the following entry where the
path should match the actual install location (default install value
shown).
Note: The following double backslashes are needed for Windows to encode the slash.Windows:
extensions = C:\\HCL\\Forms\\extensions
Linux and AIX:extensions = /opt/HCL/Forms/extensions
- In a cluster topology, make sure all of the nodes are synchronized and restart the servers.
