updateBusinessSpaceWidgets command

Use the updateBusinessSpaceWidgets command to update previously configured widgets and their endpoints, catalogs, templates, and help plugins.

The updateBusinessSpaceWidgets command updates widget binary files, catalog files, endpoint files, templates, and help plug-ins for widgets that have been previously installed and configured for Business Space.

The updateBusinessSpaceWidgets command updates widget files in a designated compressed file or an enterprise archive (EAR) file. The structure of the widget compressed file contains the following items:
  • [ear\widgets_name.ear] one or more EAR files.
  • [catalog\catalog_name.xml]
  • [endpoints\*.xml] widget endpoints
  • [templates\*.zip] Templates must be in a compressed file and follow IBM Lotus Mashups template format.
  • [help\eclipse\plugins\*]
All folders are not required. Empty folders are valid.
After using the command, save your changes to the master configuration using one of the following commands:
  • For Jython:
    AdminConfig.save()
  • For Jacl:
    $AdminConfig save

If the application server is not running, supply the -conntype NONE option when running this command.
