redeploy websphere

Are you referring to the XML version of RSS (i.e. "SIP"?) What file are you changing, and where are you making the modification? If you're making it "inside the EAR", then NO, you wouldn't redeploy the EAR, since you'd lose your change.

No , this is the HTML version of RSS inbasket. The file I changed is : recsum.htm It's the delivered one but it's buggy. (Yes, I know, ... I'm trying to get the latest and greatest from support but even they are having trouble locating it....go figure) So if I make the change in the folder \htmlinbasket\inbasket\execs in that file called recsum.htm, do I need to redeploy?????

We have made some custom modifications to the recsum.htm, and yes if you make any changes to the recsum.htm, you will need to redeploy the bpm.ear.

To create a new bpm.ear that incudes the recsum.htm:

• $ cd /lawson/CTPInstall
• $ cp $GENDIR/assembly/components/ear/bpm.ear .
• $ jar –xvf bpm.ear
• $ cp $LAWDIR/bpm/execs/*.htm .
• $ perl $GENDIR/bin/addExecsToArchive.pl {enter *.htm file here}

If you do not redeploy, your modifications will not show in the approval inbasket, and remember, everytime you do a portal upgrade, and a new set of .ear files are delivered, you will have to add the rucsum.htm to the new bpm.ear. Good luck..

IF what mondrar's solution is not for you, and you're in a windows environment... try this solution:

make sure you CREATE A COPY/BACKUP of the current recsum.htm

then copy your latest recsum.htm to the following directory...

C:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\lsfprodapp\installedApps\lawappCell01\lsfprod-BPM.ear\bpm.war\htmlinbasket\inbasket\execs

"lsfprodapp" could be named different for you.
"lsfprod-BPM-ear" could be named different too

If that doesn't work, then "properly" redeploy bpm.ear AFTER including recsum.htm to the file.

1. Login to LID
2. Copy both the latest bpm.ear, bpm.war, and recsum.htm to a new folder.
3. run the following: Perl %GENDIR%/bin/addExecsToArchive.pl recsum.htm
5. Redeploy bpm.ear, browsing to the folder where the new bpm.ear is.

I ended up changing it in the exec folder in the BPM.ear/war. Yes I know that's probably not the 'correct' way to do it, but it seems to work.
