Check in and check out configuration files.
Before you begin
You must check in configuration files during the same wsadmin
session in which you checked out the files. Otherwise, the changes
that you made might not take effect.
About this task
After you edit configuration properties for an IBM® Connections application, check in the changed
configuration file and restart the servers to apply the changes.Procedure
- Open a command window and start the wsadmin command-line
tool as described in the topic, Starting the wsadmin client.
- Optional: If you want to confirm the changes
that you made before checking in the configuration files, you can
list the configuration settings and values by using the following
command:
LCConfigService.showConfig()
- Update the value of the version stamp configuration property
to force users' browsers to pick up this change. Enter the following
command to increment the value of the versionStamp property:
Note: This command is required only when a change is made to the product
user interface and the change is to a file checked out using
LCConfigService.
LCConfigService.updateConfig("versionStamp","gmt_timestamp")
where gmt_timestamp is the GMT time. You can specify an empty string for the time
stamp or provide a GMT value string. When you specify an empty string, the client calculates the
current GMT time and updates the version stamp with that value. If you choose to provide the time,
specify it using the following format: yyyyMMdd.HHmmss and specify the time in GMT.
It is best to provide an empty string and let the client format the time stamp. For example:
LCConfigService.updateConfig("versionStamp",""). For more
information, see the Post-customization step topic.
- To check in the updated configuration property files, use
the following command:
LCConfigService.checkInConfig()
- After you complete your updates, type the following command
to deploy the changes:
synchAllNodes()
- To exit the wsadmin client, type exit at
the prompt.
- Stop and restart all of the IBM Connections
application servers.
