Setting scoped configuration settings for virtual portals
Web Content Manager configuration settings can be scoped for individual virtual portals.
-
Log in to the WebSphere® Integrated Solutions Console.
-
Click Resources > Resource Environment > Resource Environment Providers > WCM WCMConfigService > Custom properties.
Cluster note: If you are using this web content server as part of a cluster, ensure that you use the WebSphere Integrated Solutions Console for the deployment manager when you edit configuration properties.
-
Add a configuration setting for each virtual portal that requires unique configuration settings. You can set this setting for either the host name or context path:
-
Host name:
vp.uniquename.hostname=ExistingVPHost
-
Context path:
vp.uniquename.context=ExistingVPContext
-
-
To add a scoped configuration setting for a virtual portal, use this format:
PropertyKey.vp.uniquename=override\_value
This setting overrides the property key in the virtual portal that is specified in the unique name.
-
Restart the server or cluster.
Base override settings
If your virtual portal was named "yellowportal", you might create a scoped configuration for it using this format.
vp.yellow.context=yellowportal
The default value for the deployment subscriber is "false": deployment.subscriberOnly=false
You can override this value for the "yellowportal" virtual portal and change it to "true" by using this configuration parameter: deployment.subscriberOnly.vp.yellow=true
If the base configuration for a setting is different from all the virtual portals, it is more efficient to use a base override setting. To do this, add this setting: enable.base.portal.overrides=true
To add a setting just for the base portal, add ".base
" to the end of the parameter name.
For example, if you use the default setting deployment.subscriberOnly=true
, you can add another setting that is named deployment.subscriberOnly.base=false
that is applied to the base portal only. All the virtual portals use the default value of deployment.subscriberOnly=true
