Home page administrative commands

Use the commands listed to administer the Home page application.

Home page commands

The following sections define the commands that you can use when you are working with the Home page application. Each section describes the commands for a specific service. The commands are listed in alphabetical order.

HomepageCellConfig commands

HomepageCellConfig.checkInGettingstartedConfig("working_directory", "cell_name")

Checks in the configuration files for the Getting Started wizard where the working_directory and cell_name parameters contain the same values you specified for the checked out location. See the description for the HomepageCellConfig.checkOutGettingstartedConfig command for more information.

HomepageCellConfig.checkOutGettingstartedConfig("working_directory","cell_name")

Checks out the configuration files for the Getting Started wizard where:

-   working\_directory is the temporary working directory to which the configuration XML and XSD files are copied and are stored while you change them. Use forward slashes to separate directories in the file path, even if you are using the Microsoft™ Windows™ operating system.

    **Note:** Linux™ only: The directory must grant write permissions or the command does not run successfully.

-   cell\_name is the name of the WebSphere® Application Server cell that hosts 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:

-   Linux:

    ```
    HomepageCellConfig.checkOutGettingstartedConfig("/opt/act/temp","foo01Cell01")
    ```

-   Microsoft Windows:

    ```
    HomepageCellConfig.checkOutGettingstartedConfig("c:/act/temp","foo01Cell01")
    ```
