IBM Enterprise Records, Version 5.1.2   

Editing the configuration XML files for the IBM Enterprise Records web application profile

You must edit each configuration XML file to provide the property values for your environment. You can use any text editor to open and edit the files.

Before you begin

Be sure that you have the information you gathered during your planning activities.

Important: In high availability environments, make sure to use values appropriate to your configuration:

Procedure

To edit values in the configuration XML files:

  1. Locate the information you gathered during the planning steps.
  2. Use a text editor or XML editor to open one of the following configuration XML files that you generated:
    • configureapp_serverapplicationserver.xml

      where app_server is your application server type such as WebSphere®, Weblogic, or JBoss.

    • configureWebApplication.xml
    • deployWebApplication.xml
    • redeployApplicationEngineOrWorkplaceXT.xml
  3. Make the following changes to each XML configuration file:
    1. Edit the value entries. Review each value and either replace the default value or enter a valid value with an appropriate value for your site. See the descriptions in the file for more information and verify that the default values for the remaining properties are correct for your site.
      Important: You do not need to supply values for passwords. You can run the storepasswords command later to add encrypted passwords to the file.
    2. Do not change the value property name="Application ServerType" entry in your configuretypeapplicationserver.xml file (for example, configurewebsphereapplication.xml, configureweblogicapplication.xml, and configurejbossapplication.xml).
    3. Set the enabled attribute value in the <configuration> tag to true in any configuration XML file you edit if you want to run the configuration task.
  4. Save your edits and close the XML file.
  5. Optional: Add encrypted passwords to the XML files by running the storepasswords command.
    Tip: If the storepasswords command prompts you to store passwords in configuration files on disk, you must respond with yes or no (instead of y or n).
    For Windows, enter the following command on one line to encrypt and save passwords for any blank entries in the profile named "ier_install_path\configure\profiles\WSWebApplicationDeploymentFile":
    configmgr_cl.exe storePasswords -profile WSWebApplicationDeploymentProfile
    For AIX, HP-UX, Linux, and Solaris:
    ./configmgr_cl storePasswords -profile WSWebApplicationDeploymentProfile
  6. Repeat this procedure as needed until you edit all the required files.
