Updating an entity type on Windows

After adding your user registry, you may find that you need to update a single entity type with the value of the default parent. For example, if you delete a repository, you will need to update the entity type if it points to the deleted repository.

Before you begin

In a stand-alone server environment, you can complete the following task when the servers are either stopped or started. In a clustered environment, start the deployment manager and node agent and verify that they are able to synchronize.

About this task

Complete the following steps to update an entity type:

Procedure

  1. Use a text editor to open the wkplc.properties file, in the wp_profile_root\ConfigEngine\properties directory.
  2. Enter the following parameters in the wkplc.properties file under the VMM supported entity types configuration heading:
    Note: See the properties file for specific information about the advanced parameters.
    • entityTypeName
    • defaultParent
    • rdnProperties
  3. Save your changes to the wkplc.properties file.
  4. Choose one of the following tasks to update your entity type:
    To add a new entity type to the existing list
    Run the ConfigEngine.bat wp-update-entitytype -DWasPassword=password task, from the wp_profile_root\ConfigEngine directory.
    To delete the old entity types before adding the new RDN attribute as the only entry in the RDN list
    Run the ConfigEngine.bat wp-set-entitytype -DWasPassword=password task, from the wp_profile_root\ConfigEngine directory.
  5. Stop and restart the appropriate servers to propagate the changes. For specific instructions, see Starting and stopping servers, deployment managers, and node agents.

What to do next

If you created your clustered environment, including the additional nodes, and then completed the steps in this task, you must now run the update-jcr-admin task on the secondary node. See the related links section for instructions.
