Object Store Configuration#

The configuration of the application is stored in a folder structure in the Object Store. This step will add the folders and document classes necessary for the application configuration. Following standard IBM conventions the classes and folders are distributed as Object Store Add-ons. The Add-on must first be installed on the domain level and should next be deployed in each Object Store you want to use with the application.

Install the Zero Footprint Client Object Store add-on#

To install the Add-on you have to take the following steps:

  • Download the Add-on file ECMPZeroFootprintExtension.zip and unzip it on your computer.

  • Start the IBM Administrative Console for Content Platform Engine and navigate to Global Configuration > Data Design > Add-ons.

  • Create a New Add-on. In the first screen you can choose either the descriptor method or the manual method.

Note

Older versions of the Content Engine will not show this first screen and only support the manual method.

  • If you choose the descriptor method perform the following steps:

    • On your local file system navigate to the place where you unzipped the add-on and select the descriptor file 1.0.0ECMPZeroFootprintExtension.desc.
    • In the next page enter the following values:
    • Import data set: Browse to the file 1.0.0ECMPZeroFootprintExtension.xml
    • Post-import scrip: Browse to the file 1.0.0ECMPZeroFootprintExtension_ImportScript.js
    • Review the input on the next page, select Finish to create the Add-on.

  • If you choose the manual method perform the following steps:

    • In the next page enter the following values:
    • Display name: 1.0.0 ECMP Zero Footprint Client Extension
    • Description: Installs PropertyTemplates and ClassDefinitions required by the ECMP Zero Footprint Client.
    • Type: Optional
    • Import data set: Browse to the file 1.0.0ECMPZeroFootprintExtension.xml
    • Post-import scrip: Browse to the file 1.0.0ECMPZeroFootprintExtension_ImportScript.js
    • Make no changes on the next page
    • Review the input on the next page, select Finish to create the Add-on.

Deploy the Add-on in the Object Store#

To deploy the Add-on in the Object Store you have to take the following steps:

  • Select Install Add-on Features from the context menu of the Object Store or from the Actions menu of the properties page.
  • Check the 1.0.0 ECMP Zero Footprint Client Extension extension in the top list.
  • Select the OK button to start the installation.

Verify the installation#

You can verify the installation by inspecting the Object Store. The Add-on should have created the following artifacts:

  • The document classes Class Configuration (EcmpClassConfiguration), Collection Configuration (EcmpCollectionConfiguration) and Server Script (EcmpServerScript). The display name may vary based on the locale. These are hidden document classes, they will not be visible to normal users.

  • The following hidden folder structure: 

    /ECMP Zero Footprint Client
        /Class Configuration
        /Collections
        /Server Scripts
