Configuring unique names

Customize the default unique names for pages and the IBM Connections portlet application ID for your environment to customize where users are redirected to render IBM Connections content in WebSphere Portal.

About this task

Use these steps for configuring unique names if you are deploying more than one of the same type of portlet on a page or if you want to deploy portlets to an existing page that already has a unique name.

Procedure

  1. Run this command to customize page names: 
     ConfigEngine poc-customize-unique-names -DWasPassword=[was-admin-password]
    Use any of these optional parameters
    Table 1. Optional parameters for specifying unique page names
    Property Value
    -DICportletAppId Specifies a different Portlet App ID for the Connections Portlets if the default, com.bowstreet.portlet.WebAppRunner2_snor.pf.portlets, is customized.
    -DICpocErrorPageUniqueName Specifies the unique name for the error page users should be taken to in Portal when no page can be found to display content from IBM Connections.
    -DICblogsStandalonePageUN Sets the unique name of the page that contains the Blogs portlet. The default is ibm.conn.blogs.
    -DICwikisStandalonePageUN Sets the unique name of the page that contains the Wikis portlet. The default is ibm.conn.wikis.
    -DICforumsStandalonePageUN Sets the unique name of the page that contains the Forums portlet. The default is ibm.conn.forums.
    -DICactivitiesStandalonePageUN Sets the unique name of the page that contains the Activities portlet. The default is ibm.conn.activities.
    -DICprofilesStandalonePageUN Sets the unique name of the page that contains the Profiles portlet. The default is ibm.conn.profiles.
    -DICbookmarksStandalonePageUN Sets the unique name of the page that contains the Bookmarks portlet. The default is ibm.conn.bookmarks.
  2. If you have multiple detail portlets that are deployed on a single stand-alone page, run the previous command and set the unique names for the pages to the same value. For example: 
    ConfigEngine poc-customize-unique-names -DICblogsStandalonePageUN=ibm.conn.common.standalone.page -DICwikisStandalonePageUN=ibm.conn.common.standalone.page -DICprofilesStandalonePageUN=ibm.conn.common.standalone.page -DWasPassword=password
    This indicates that blogs, wikis, and profiles detail portlets are deployed on a page with the unique name ibm.conn.common.standalone.page.
  3. To remove the unique name customizations, run: 
    ConfigEngine remove-poc-customized-unique-names -DWasPassword=[was-admin-password]
