HCL Digital Experience v9.5 and higher

Introduction

In Web Content Manager (WCM), content updates can be distributed across virtual portals using the command line. This article describes how to create a virtual portal syndicator-subscriber pair using the command line in HCL DX.

Instructions

To create a virtual portal syndicator-subscriber pair using the command line in HCL DX, perform the following steps:

1. Open a command prompt and navigate to the <wp_profile_root>/ConfigEngine directory on the subscriber server.

2. Execute the the run-wcm-admin-task-subscribe-now ConfigEngine task. For example:

   ConfigEngine.bat run-wcm-admin-task-subscribe-now
   -Dsyndicator=http://<myHost>:<myPort>/wps/wcm/<context>
   -DvaultSlotName=syndicationSlot
   -DsyndicatorName=mySyndicator
   -DsubscriberName=mySubscriber
   -DliveItems="Portal Site"
   -DisEnabled=false
   -DsubscriberURL=http://localhost:10039/wps/wcm/myVirtualPortal
   -DVirtualPortalContext="myVirtualPortal"
   

   • On AIX, Linux, or Unix operating systems, execute ConfigEngine.sh instead of ConfigEngine.bat.
   • In this example, both the syndicator and subscriber portal servers use a virtual portal named myVirtualPortal. Replace myVirtualPortal with your virtual portal context name.
