Administering tag federation

When tags from remote systems, such as IBM® Connections are integrated into your WebSphere® Portal site, you need to schedule tasks to retrieve tags and related data from the remote system, and later to clean them up from the portal. You can also redirect the rendering of federated resources to IBM Connections and add icons to federated resources.

Importing federated tags and resources
When tags from remote systems, such as Connections are integrated into WebSphere Portal, you need to schedule a task to retrieve the tags and related data from the remote system.
Cleaning up federated tags and resources
When federated tags are no longer integrated in WebSphere Portal, you invoke the task com.ibm.wps.cp.tagging.federation.taskhandler.FederationDeletionTaskHandler to remove unnecessary data.
Redirecting to a Connections site
When a user clicks a Connections resource in the result list portlet, this resource is rendered within a Connections portlet, if that portlet exists and can handle this resource.
Specifying an icon for a federated resource
When federated resources are displayed in the Tag Results portlet, you can have them preceded by a icon.
