As preparation for Social Connections VI in Prague next week i redesigned the Administration Scripts for IBM Websphere . Some highlights: all scripts are moved to a subfolder with DMGR/bin (folder name: ibmcnx) tested in multinode environments added some classes everybody can use for his own scripts adding policies to libraries (personal and communities) are using search now New scripts: documentation of all jvm settings of each application server create a file with all documentation in one step create cluster members for additional nodes Sharon created a document with the content of all of our presentations and collected several tipps all around connections and community scripts.

Setting the performance tuning parameters for all datasources in WebSphere Application Server (for IBM Connections 4 ) is a really annoying job with lots of mouse clicks. I searched a way to make these through wsadmin with a jython script and after some testing i wrote one, which set all parameters for the Connections DataSources as described in IBM Connections 4 Performance Tuning Guide . I set StatementCacheSize, minConnections and maxConnections with this script. Download: changeDataSourceParameters Using this script Copy this script to your server and copy & paste it to a wsadmin-Session, or start wsadmin with wsadmin.(sh|bat) -lang jython -username youruser -password password -f path/changeDataSourceParameter.

This week i attended Engage in Breda . I had a session with famous Sharon Bellamy , we covered an update of our Connect 2014 session about BP307 – Practical Solutions for Connections Administrators – Tips and Scripts for Your Daily Busines . I enjoyed it very much to be with lovely community guys, old and new friends. I want to thank Theo Heselman , he and his crew did and does a really great job to get us all together (350 attendees, 30 IBM Champions, 65 speakers). Kitty and Warren Elsmore were with us again and made lovely copies of ourself in lego.
