Enabling and configuring the spell checker

You must enable and configure IBM® InfoSphere® Master Data Management Collaboration Server parameters and the Sentry Spell Checking Engine spell checker from WinterTree to provide spell checking capabilities within the Single Edit screen for items and categories.

Before you begin

Before you can enable and configure the spell checker, you must purchase the Wintertree spell check software, Sentry Spell Checking Engine version 5.10. To use the spell checker feature, you need both the Sentry Spell Checking Engine serial number and the license key.

About this task

IBM InfoSphere Master Data Management Collaboration Server is not bundled with a spell checker but you can purchase and install the separate Sentry Spell Checking Engine version 5.10 from Wintertree for integrated use in the Single Edit screen.

A valid Wintertree license is required to enable spell checking. The Wintertree spell checker must be installed on the InfoSphere MDM Collaboration Server server in a location, which is readable by the InfoSphere MDM Collaboration Server user.

Procedure

  1. Stop InfoSphere MDM Collaboration Server services.
  2. Add the Wintertree JAR file. Perform one of the following steps:
    1. Copy the ssce.jar file from the runtime/lib directory in the Wintertree home directory to the <install dir>/lib directory
    or
    1. Add the absolute path of the ssce.jar to the <install dir>/bin/conf/classpath/jars-custom.txt file. For example, add <wintertree home>/runtime/lib/ssce.jar to jars-custom.txt.
  3. Update the wintertree_home parameter in the env_settings.ini file.
  4. Run the script configureEnv.sh to regenerate the Wintertree configuration files.
    Note: Do not overwrite the common.properties file when prompted.
  5. Update the <install dir>/etc/default/common.properties file by providing the following values:
    • spell_check=true
    • spell_check_vendor=wintertree
    • spell_check_vendor_class=com.ibm.ccd.common.plugins.wintertree.WinterTreePlugin
    • spell_license=<your license number>
  6. Start InfoSphere MDM Collaboration Server services.
