Updating an entity type
After you add your user registry, you can update a single entity type with the value of the default parent. For example, if you delete a repository, you must update the entity type if it points to the deleted repository.
In a stand-alone server environment, you can complete the following task when the servers are either stopped or started. In a clustered environment, start the deployment manager and node agent. Then, verify that they are able to synchronize.
-
Open a UNIX System Services (z/OS UNIX System Services) command prompt.
Note
If you are instructed to open a properties file, they are ASCII files. Open them with the appropriate tool.
-
Go to the wp_profile_root/ConfigEngine/properties directory.
-
Open the wkplc.properties file with a text editor.
-
Enter a value for the following parameters under the VMM supported entity types configuration heading:
Note
Go to the properties file for specific information about the parameters.
- entityTypeName
- defaultParent
- rdnProperties
-
Save your changes to the wkplc.properties file.
-
Open a command prompt.
-
Change to the wp_profile_root/ConfigEngine directory.
-
Run the following task to delete the old entity types before you add the RDN attribute as the only entry in the RDN list:
- AIX® HP-UX Linux™ Solaris: ./ConfigEngine.sh wp-set-entitytype -DWasPassword=password
- IBM® i: ConfigEngine.sh wp-set-entitytype -DWasPassword=password
- Windows™: ConfigEngine.bat wp-set-entitytype -DWasPassword=password
- z/OS®: ./ConfigEngine.sh wp-set-entitytype -DWasPassword=password
-
Run the following task to add an entity type to the existing list:
- AIX HP-UX Linux Solaris: ./ConfigEngine.sh wp-update-entitytype -DWasPassword=password
- IBM i: ConfigEngine.sh wp-update-entitytype -DWasPassword=password
- Windows: ConfigEngine.bat wp-update-entitytype -DWasPassword=password
- z/OS: ./ConfigEngine.sh wp-update-entitytype -DWasPassword=password
-
Stop and restart the appropriate servers to propagate the changes. For instructions, go to Starting and stopping servers, deployment managers, and node agents.
