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.
About this task
To retrieve tags and related resource for federation, schedule a task named com.ibm.wps.cp.tagging.federation.taskhandler.FederationTaskHandler
WebSphere Portal by using the XML configuration interface
(XMLAccess). In the following example, the XML task triggerTask.xml
is scheduled to run the task com.ibm.wps.cp.tagging.federation.taskhandler.FederationTaskHandler once a
day:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<request type="update" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="PortalConfig_8.5.0.xsd">
<portal action="locate">
<task action="create" name="com.ibm.wps.cp.tagging.federation.taskhandler.FederationTaskHandler">
<startTime>22:00</startTime>
</task>
</portal>
</request>
This
tasks handles all Connections
features.You can also select and specify which Connections
features you want a task to handle. For example, you can have data for Connections wikis and blogs collected on
a different schedule than Connections
files. Refer to the following
example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<request type="update" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="PortalConfig_8.5.0.xsd">
<portal action="locate">
<task action="create" name="com.ibm.wps.cp.tagging.federation.taskhandler.FederationTaskHandler">
<startTime>12:00</startTime>
<parameter>wikis</parameter>
<parameter>blogs</parameter>
</task>
<task action="create" name="com.ibm.wps.cp.tagging.federation.taskhandler.FederationTaskHandler">
<startTime>07:00</startTime>
<parameter>files</parameter>
</task>
</portal>
</request>
Notes:
To retrieve changes in the Connections tag cloud, you need to run
the FederationTaskHandler script.- The <parameter> element contains the ID of the Connections feature. These IDs are listed on the page Federating Tags.
- Carefully consider which features you want to integrate into portal. With each Connections feature, there is potential for coupling large amounts of data.
