Changing the navigation view for a mobile device

You can change the XDIME aggregator navigation view that is used for a mobile device.

About this task

WebSphere® Portal matches the user agent from a device's request header against the user agent patterns configured in the list of supported clients. When a match is found, WebSphere Portal uses the markup configured for the matching client definition to determine which aggregator should handle the device's request. Some aggregators, including the XDIME aggregator, support multiple navigation views which are also known as markup versions. The XDIME aggregator supports the following navigation views:

treeview (default)
iconview
pdaview

See the topic XDIME navigation views in this information center for a description of each of the navigation views.

Perform the following steps to change the navigation view for a mobile device.

Procedure

Log in to WebSphere Portal as a portal administrator.
Navigate to Administration > Portal Settings > Supported Clients.
Select the client you want to modify and click Edit selected client.
In the Manage Clients window, modify the Markup Version field as follows:
- To use the default navigation view (treeview), leave the field blank.
- To use a different navigation view, type either iconview or pdaview into the field.
Click OK.

Restart the portal server using the following commands:

wp_profile_root/bin/stopServer.sh server_name -username WAS_admin -password WAS_admin_password_value

wp_profile_root/bin/startServer.sh server_name

wp_profile_root\bin\stopServer server_name -username WAS_admin -password WAS_admin_password_value

wp_profile_root\bin\startServer server_name

where server_name is the name of the WebSphere Application Server instance (for example, WebSphere_Portal).
