How to add profiles to WCM items

Applies to

HCL Digital Experience v9.5 and higher

Introduction

Required profiles may be missing from Web Content Manager (WCM) items within HCL Digital Experience (DX). This article explains how to add profiles to WCM items using the profileEnablement utility.

Instructions

To add profiles to WCM items, perform the following steps:

  1. Identify your environment's specific values for the following URL placeholders:

    • <host> is the host name or IP address of your HCL DX server.
    • <port> is the port number used to access your server.
    • [NEW_LIBRARY] is the name of the specific WCM library.

  2. Construct the URL based on your required action:

    • To execute and add missing profiles to components, use the following URL:

      http://<host>:<port>/wps/wcm/myconnect/?MOD=profileEnablement&library=[NEW_LIBRARY]&restrictOn=Cmpnt&fix=true&mode=remove

    • To run the module in report mode to preview the items without applying changes, use the following URL:

      http://<host>:<port>/wps/wcm/myconnect?MOD=ProfileEnablement&library=&fix=false&restrictOn=content&preserve_dates=true

  3. Enter the URL in the browser to trigger the profileEnablement module.

Note

To execute the module using a ConfigEngine task instead of a browser URL, refer to Running the profile enablement tool.
