IBM WebSphere Portal 8.5: User assistance for administrators
Managing web content libraries
As an administrator you need to periodically assist content managers with
library maintenance, such as disabling or deleting a library.
About this task
Important: Some library tasks can reduce the
performance of your server while they are running. Therefore, schedule
library maintenance to occur during off-peak periods when the least
number of users are accessing a library.
Disabling a web content library
When a web content library is no longer required, you can
disable the library. This action prevents the library from being accessed
from an authoring portlet, preventing users from updating any items
that are stored in the library. Any items that are referenced from
this library are still rendered in web content.
Unlocking a library
A library can become locked when a long running task, such
as restoring all content items in a library, fails to unlock the library.
In the rare event where a library becomes locked, you can use the
unlock library tool to unlock the library.
Defining roles within a library
You can define the access of a user or group for a library
to determine who has access to a library, and to define access to
the different views within the authoring portlet.
Restoring items in a library
You can restore a set of items within a library that either
have the same label or were versioned at, or before, a specified date
and time.
Labeling a set of items in a library
You can apply a label to the most recent versions of all
items in a library. This action does not create a version, it updates
the label of the most recent version. If you created a label, you
can later restore items in the library based on that label.
Setting root access for all web content libraries
By default, only administrators have access to work with web
content libraries. To allow other users to work with web content libraries,
such as virtual portal administrators, you need to assign them access
to the JCR content root node.
