Restoring the VMM setup with a federated file repository | HCL Digital Experience

If your business changes or your user registry configuration is inoperable, run the wp-restore-default-repository-configuration task to restore the default VMM setup with a federated file repository. Then, reconfigure your user registry. The task deletes all existing repositories, creates a realm, and configures a file repository in VMM. The task also creates a user and group, which is set to the HCL Digital Experience administrator.

Procedure

  1. Before you configure security, use the IBM® WebSphere® Application Server backupConfig task to create and store a backup of the HCL Portal configuration. Read backupConfig command for information.
  2. Go to the wp_profile_root/ConfigEngine/properties directory.
  3. Open the wkplc.properties file with a text editor.
  4. Required: Enter a value for the following parameters under the VMM Federated repository properties heading:
    Note: Go to the properties file for specific information about the parameters.
    • federated.primaryAdminId
    • federated.realm
    • federated.serverId
    • federated.serverPassword
  5. Open a command prompt.
  6. Change to the wp_profile_root/ConfigEngine directory.
  7. Run the following task to restore the default repository:
    • AIX® HP-UX Linux™ Solaris: 
      ./ConfigEngine.sh wp-restore-default-repository-configuration -DWasPassword=password
    • IBM® i: 
      ConfigEngine.sh wp-restore-default-repository-configuration -DWasPassword=password
    • Windows™: 
      ConfigEngine.bat wp-restore-default-repository-configuration -DWasPassword=password
    • z/OS®: 
      ./ConfigEngine.sh wp-restore-default-repository-configuration -DWasPassword=password
  8. Stop and restart the appropriate servers to propagate the changes. For instructions, go to Starting and stopping servers, deployment managers, and node agents.
  9. Run the following task to restore the default repository group member:
    • AIX® HP-UX Linux™ Solaris: 
      ./ConfigEngine.sh wp-restore-default-repository-add-group-member -DgroupUniqueName=value -DmemberUniqueName=value
-DWasPassword=password
    • IBM® i: 
      ConfigEngine.sh wp-restore-default-repository-add-group-member -DgroupUniqueName=value -DmemberUniqueName=value
-DWasPassword=password
    • Windows™: 
      ConfigEngine.bat wp-restore-default-repository-add-group-member -DgroupUniqueName=value -DmemberUniqueName=value
-DWasPassword=password
    • z/OS®: 
      ./ConfigEngine.sh wp-restore-default-repository-add-group-member -DgroupUniqueName=value -DmemberUniqueName=value
-DWasPassword=password
  10. Stop and restart the appropriate servers to propagate the changes.
