Specify a custom number of suggestions that appear when
you use @mentions.
About this task
When a user enters the @ character and the first letters
of a user's name, IBM Connections displays up to 15 suggestions that
match the entry. You can change the default number of suggestions
by editing the LotusConnections-config.xml file.To
customize the number of @mentions suggestions, complete the following
steps:
Procedure
- Start the wsadmin client from the
following directory of the system where you installed the deployment
manager:
app_server_root\profiles\dm_profile_root\bin
Note: You
must start the client from this directory or subsequent commands that
you try to run will not execute properly. For more information, see
the Starting the wsadmin client topic.
- Use the wsadmin client to access and check out the LotusConnections-config.xml file.
- Enter the following command to load the IBM® Connections
configuration file: execfile("connectionsConfig.py")
If you are prompted to
specify a service to connect to, type 1 to
select the first node in the list. Most commands can run on any node.
If the command writes or reads information to or from a file by using
a local file path, you must select the node where the file is stored.
This information is not used by the wsadmin client when you are making
configuration changes.
- Enter the following command
to check out IBM Connections
configuration files:
LCConfigService.checkOutConfig("working_directory","cell_name")
- Navigate to the working directory that you specified in
the previous step and open the LotusConnections-config.xml file
in a text editor.
- Edit (or, if necessary, create) the <genericProperty
name="people.typeahead.pageSize">number</genericProperty>
attribute, where number is an integer value that
specifies the number of @mentions results that are displayed by IBM
Connections.
- Save your changes to the LotusConnections-config.xml file.
- Check the file back in during the same wsadmin session
in which you checked it out. For more information, see the Applying
common configuration property changes topic.
- Restart WebSphere Application Server.
