Web Client

Configure the webplm.properties File

  The following sections of the webplm.properties file can be configured. The file can be found in a .war file (in the web application WEB-INF directory).
 

Customize the Logo

 

In order to customize the header image and link, edit the properties.

 

Set the properties for headerLink and headerImage to add your logo and web address.

 

For example:

  • axalant.web.headerLink=http://www.oracle.com
  • axalant.web.headerImage=axalant/orc_logo.png
A customized logo needs to be added to the .war file.
 

Setting the Timeout Value

  Agile e6 ships with a default timeout setting of 900 seconds (15 minutes) for an inactive Client. To better preserve end user work sessions, it is recommended to set this value to at least 3600 seconds (1 hour).
 

The timeout value is set in the file webplm.properties.

The following line controls the number of seconds for timeout:

axalant.web.sessionTimeout=900

 

Single Sign On

 

From Agile A9 to Agile e6

  When the Single Sign On is activated for Agile A9 and Agile e6, the following configuration parameter has to be set to True to allow switching between Agile A9 to Agile e6. The User ID is passed on and therefore an additional login is not required.
 
  • axalant.web.enable.uid=[false|true]
    True = activated
    False = deactivated
By default this configuration parameter is set to False!
   
 

From Agile e6 to Different Clients

 

When Single Sign On is activated for Agile e6, the following configuration parameter has to be set to True to allow switching between different Agile e6 clients. An additional login is not required.

This can be used, e.g. for the Lightweight Reporting.

 
  • axalant.web.enable.ticket=[false|true]
    True = activated
    False = deactivated
By default this configuration parameter is set to False!
 

Enable Old URL Format

  To enable the old URL format, the following configuration parameter has to be set to True.
 
  • axalant.web.enable.load=[false|true]
    True = activated
    False = deactivated
More information about the URL support can be found in URL Object Access Support.
 

Configure the Default Sub-List Size

  If the SDI mode of the client is switched off the size of the sub-list depends on the size of the mask if the width is set to 0. This does not apply to the Web client. It uses the default values as described below. These values can be adjusted accordingly.
  To configure the size of a mask, the following lines need to be changed.
 

If the mask length is 0 the default value (here: 13) can be overwritten with the configuration file parameter:
axalant.web.sublist_width=<number of columns>

If the mask width is 0 the default value (here: 85) can be overwritten with the configuration file parameter:
axalant.web.sublist_height=<number of rows>

 

Change the Default Layout

Add parameter axalant.web.defaultRepositoryLayout=TOPWEB to the webplm.properties file.

Create a default TOPWEB.
The value of this default contains the DTV menu name with which the layout can be configured.

Create the menu selections for the different panes.

The following selection names are important:

Selection Name Userexit Parameter Description
WEB-APP-INFO web_app_cmd OPEN-JSP jspaxalant/elements/infoHeader.jsp Used for info pane. The parameter must be a JSP page. Default page is "/jspaxalant/elements/infoHeader.jsp"
WEB-APP-MENU - - Used for the menu pane.
Parameter is the name of the top menu.
WEB-APP-SHORTCUTS - - Used for the toolbar.
WEB-APP-PANE-{id} web_app_cmd  

Userexit is used for different purposes, e.g. main pane, browser pane or message pane.

  • For the Main pane, the parameter can be "SEARCH" to display the multiobject search form.
  • For the message pane the parameter has to be MESSAGE.
  • For the browser pane the parameter has to be EXPLORE.

Create the menu for the layout.
The name has to be the same as the value of the created default TOPWEB.

Add for each pane the corresponding selections.

The geometry data can be applied for menu selections which start with WEB-APP-PANE.

Table Column Description
Row Has no influence on the layout.

  Different options can be added to the Description (T_SELECTION.C_DESCRIP_[LANG]) field. Every entry has to be separated by a semicolon (;).
The options must start with a hash sign (#):
All language fields are filled at the same time.

c=0 Pane is not closeable
s=1 Pane has a content stack (allows to move forward or backward in the main pane)

After updating the webplm.properties file the web application has to be stopped and started again so that the modifications become effective.
