WebSphere Portal - Google sitemap.xml

Sitemap XML feed could be accessed from Search sitemap portlet.

1. Find the Search Sitemap in Portal Administration > Portlets
2. Click configure

1. Set EXPORT to true. 
2. If there is no EXPORT variable, add it (key=EXPORT, value=true).
3. Restart Portal or just the PA_Search_Center application from the WAS Integration Solution Console.
   
4. Open a page with Search Sitemap, and you should see a button to download sitemap.xml.
5. You can this use in Google Webmasters Tools as sitemap.xml feed.
6. To find out url use browser inspector, or just see downloaded sitemap.xml url

http://<yourdomain>/wps/PA_SearchSitemapPort/exportServlet?lastMod=&priority=&frequency=&topLevelListPref=Z6_CGAH47L0004820IDBHD79M00I6&showLvl1=no&showLocales=no&localeListPref=cs

Now you can  disable export again (EXPORT is only about frontend functionality), URL should works in both situation (EXPORT=true or EXPORT=false).

IBM Installation Manager v1.8.1 / RedHat CentOS 6 get JVM terminated. Exit code=1

Error  JVM terminated. Exit code=1

We are getting an error JVM terminated. Exit code=1 after few steps during installing update WebSphere Application Server 8.0.0.8.

Solution

Our solution was modifiing this config Eclipse files:

/opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse/IBMIM.ini
/opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse/configuration/config.ini

and we added in to the first file following parameter :

-Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.cairoGraphics=false

and in to the secound file:


org.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.cairoGraphics=false

Install Quickr 8.5 for WPS - Part 2

In this post, I would like to show you how to update Quickr installation before we will configure it.

Most important link for this part is:

Update strategy for IBM Lotus Quickr 8.5 for WebSphere Portal
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21434121

In my case, I am installing on CentOS, I had a problem to run an updateinstaller for WebSphere SW.
The problem is, that install.sh script check OS version from /etc/redhat-release file.
So there are two options how to go around:

• Change redhat-release file to contain a valid RHEL release information 
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.8 (Tikanga)

or

• Change the install script ... comment out line where version variable is set and add new one and set it to value 5. 

After this I was able to run ./install of WebSphere update installer.

Keep in mind, you must add password for wasadmin and portaladmin in to wkplc.properties file!

During installation of Portal FP I get an error because this file has no execute
So after I started installation a changed file as follow. It is important to change it after installer is started

Run commands in this order
./updatePortal.sh -install -installDir "/opt/IBM/Quickr/PortalServer/" -fixpack -fixpackDir "/opt/IBM/Quickr/PortalServer/update/fixpacks/" -fixpackID WP_PTF_6106

& in new terminal run this to change access:


# ls -al /opt/IBM/Quickr/PortalServer/version/actions/PUIAction.sh
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1457 Nov 29 16:07 /opt/IBM/Quickr/PortalServer/version/actions/PUIAction.sh

# chmod +x /opt/IBM/Quickr/PortalServer/version/actions/PUIAction.sh


 # ls -al /opt/IBM/Quickr/PortalServer/version/actions/PUIAction.sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1457 Nov 29 16:11 /opt/IBM/Quickr/PortalServer/version/actions/PUIAction.sh

! The same thing I did during Quickr CF8 ... because there was exactly the same problem.


After portal FP installation, there is a error every time you run a portalupdateinstaller or a WPVersionInfo.sh.
There is a typo in this files:
/opt/IBM/Quickr/PortalServer/version/prereq.wcm.webdav.component
/opt/IBM/Quickr/PortalServer/wcm/prereq.wcm.fp615/version/prereq.wcm.webdav.component

build-version="Build CF51 51.0.4"prereq.wcm.webdav"
Correct one is as a follow:
build-version="Build CF51 51.0.4" name="prereq.wcm.webdav"

After two day of work it is done ... BLUE HELL?!

OS installation and Quickr pre-installation tasks

1. Install OS with gui (Gnome/KDE) make your own choose and
2. disable SELinux + Firewall during installation process.
3. Log in as root and install vmware tools (if you are on vmware platform)
4. You will need a libstdc++.so.5 to install DB2 so run as root 
1. #yum install compat-libstdc++-33
5. Update your OS installation - run as root:
1. #yum update

1. Note: Use #ifconfig command to find your IP
8. Create installation folder structure to prevent installer asking for installation CDs
1. #mkdir -p /opt/install/IL-Setup
2. #mkdir /opt/install/IL-1
3. repeat  command 2. to create IL-2 to IL-7
4. Extract each installation package into the correct folder you just created.

Startup Script for IHS on RHEL

Today I'm going to show you how to setup IHS to run after boot/reboot on RHEL.

• First you need to know what is your default runtime level. To determinate default level see your inittab file:
• [root@ic ~]# less /etc/inittab
• find line start with id:< some number >:initdefault:
• In my case I have level 3 as default:
• id:3:initdefault:
• As root, create a new file ihs in  /etc/init.d/
• [root@ic ~]# vim /etc/init.d/ihs 

#!/bin/bash

# SERVICENAME should match this filename

SERVICENAME=$(basename $0)

LOCKFILE="/var/lock/subsys/${SERVICENAME}"

APACHECTL=/opt/IBM/HTTPServer/bin/apachectl

# The next lines are for chkconfig on RedHat systems.

# chkconfig: 2345 98 02

# description: Starts and stops IHS 

case "$1" in

  start)

    touch $LOCKFILE 

    ;;

  stop)

    rm -f $LOCKFILE

    ;;

  *)

    echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|status|restart}"

    exit 1

    ;;

esac

$APACHECTL "$@"

• Save file and add executable mark to be able to run the script:
• [root@ic ~]# chmod u+x /etc/init.d/ihs
• Now add new service and set up if to run on level 3
• [root@ic ~]# chkconfig --add ihs
• [root@ic ~]# chkconfig --level 3 ihs on

IBM Connection 3.0.1.1 update to CR1

See my notes from installing Cumulative Refreshe 1  (CR1)

I did not make any changes in themes or other LC files so I do not need to backup them, before installation.

IBM page with CR1: http://www-304.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21595154&myns=swglotus&mynp=OCSSYGQH&mync=E

1. It is good idea to make a shapshot of your servers (I made snapshots for my DB and WAS server)
2. I started DB server and DMGR ... it must be started during installation
3. I used latest Update installer Download Update Installer 3.0.1.x-IC-Multi-UPDI-20120403 (downloaded from IBM FixCentral).
4. Ok, after you download Update Installer, delete or backup /opt/IBM/LotusConnections/updateInstaller and extract updateinstaller in  /opt/IBM/LotusConnections/ - it will make folder updateinstaller again. 
5. Download all (depends what parts of LC did you install) CR jar/zip files in to /opt/IBM/LotusConnections/updateInstaller/fixes. If there are any zip, extract them.
6. To run /opt/IBM/LotusConnections/updateInstaller/updateWizard.sh add execute permissnion on this file
1. [root@ic ~]# cd /opt/IBM/LotusConnections/updateInstaller
2. [root@ic updateInstaller]# chmod +x updateWizard.sh
3. Make sure you have xserver started - you will be able to run graphic installation wizard.
4. Setup was home path: [root@ic updateInstaller]# cd /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/bin
5. Run: [root@ic bin]#. ./setupCmdLine.sh
6. [root@ic updateInstaller]# cd -
7. [root@ic updateInstaller]# ./updateWizard.sh
7. Update Wizard for Lotus Connections 3.0.1.1 will be launched. 
1. Click NEXT
2. Select Install updates and make sure there is path in to folder with jar files sfom step 5.
3. Click NEXT, on Update Selection page, depends on your installation, select what you want to install (In my case wizard selected all). Click NEXT.
4. I selected "I have not made any changes to IBM Connections application files." >> OK
5. Fill in your DMGR admin account and password. Click NEXT and wait for Validation success >> Click OK
6. Click INSTALL and go with your dog for a walk ... it will take some time to install.
7. After successful update installation start all nodes and node agents and perform a full synchronization to push the update to all nodes.
