Enabling and configuring the spell checker

You must enable and configure IBM® Product Master parameters and the Sentry Spell Checking Engine spell checker from Wintertree to provide spell checking capabilities within the Single Edit screen for items and categories.

About this task

IBM Product Master is not bundled with a spell checker but you can purchase and install the separate Sentry Spell Checking Engine from Wintertree for integrated use in the Single Edit screen.

A valid Wintertree license is required to enable spell checking. The Wintertree spell checker must be installed on the Product Master server in a location, which is readable by the Product Master user.

  2. Add the Wintertree JAR file. Perform one of the following steps:
    1. Copy the ssce.jar file from the runtime/lib directory in the Wintertree home directory to the <install dir>/lib directory.
    or
    1. Add the absolute path of the ssce.jar to the <install dir>/bin/conf/classpath/jars-custom.txt file.
      For example, add <wintertree home>/runtime/lib/ssce.jar to jars-custom.txt.
  3. Update the wintertree_home parameter in the env_settings.ini file.
  4. Run the script configureEnv.sh to regenerate the Wintertree configuration files.
    Note: Do not overwrite the common.properties file when prompted.
  5. Update the <install dir>/etc/default/common.properties file by providing the following values:
    • spell_check=true
    • spell_check_vendor=wintertree
