Edit configuration property settings to filter out Community activities from
My activities in the main navigation panel of the
Overview page.
About this task
Activities can be filtered as follows on the
Overview page:
- My activities (all activities I own and does not include any community
activities).
- Community activities (only community activities).
Activity filtering is disabled by default.
To enable activity filtering, complete the following steps:
Procedure
- Use the wsadmin client to access and check out the Activities configuration
files.
- Use
the following command to access the Activities configuration file:
execfile("activitiesAdmin.py")
If
prompted to specify a service to connect to, type 1 to pick 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 using a local file path,
you must pick the node where the file is stored.
- Check out the Activities configuration
files using the following command:
ActivitiesConfigService.checkOutConfig("working_directory","cell_name")
where:- working_directory is the temporary working directory to which the
configuration XML and XSD files are copied and are stored while you make changes to them. Use
forward slashes to separate directories in the file path, even if you are using the Microsoft
Windows operating system.
Note: AIX®, and Linux: The directory must grant write permissions or the command
will not run successfully.
- cell_name is the name of the WebSphere® Application Server cell hosting
the IBM® Connections application.
This argument is case-sensitive, so type it with care. If you do not
know the cell name, you can determine it by typing the following command
in the wsadmin command processor:
print AdminControl.getCell()
For example:- AIX and Linux:
ActivitiesConfigService.checkOutConfig("/opt/act/temp","foo01Cell01")
- Microsoft Windows:
ActivitiesConfigService.checkOutConfig("c:/act/temp","foo01Cell01")
- To change the property value, edit oa-config.xml and set
feature.communityActivitiesView.enabled, set to "true" at
the end of oa-config.xml as follows:
<properties>
<property name="feature.communityActivitiesView.enabled">true</property>
</properties>
Note: If the <properties>...</properties> tagging is already present, do
not add it again. Instead, include the property name string in the
example shown in the existing properties tags.
- After you make changes, you must check the configuration files back in and you
must do so during the same wsadmin session in which you checked them out for the
changes to take effect. See Applying property changes for
details.
