Just had to update the file size of a Community. Sounds easy right??

I swear IBM make this stuff as complex as possible…..

To increase the size limit of a Community, you need it’s UID usually found as the last part in the url.

https://blaf.com./communities/service/html/communityview?communityUuid=2672ad0a-9646-4c2f-8094-3b552322d79e

 But what happens if you aren’t a member of the Community and can’t access it? What happens if all you have is the name?

You need to do this:

Start wsadmin

Launch Communities administration:

>execfile("communitiesAdmin.py")

wsadmin> all=CommunitiesService.fetchAllComm()
wsadmin> CommunitiesListService.filterListByName(all, "community name") 

You will get output like the following:

[{lastModBy=[John User, A6F3CFCB-E9F5-3CEE-CA25-6F1000815F04], created=6/2/13 4:38:17 PM EST, tags=[], type=private, name=APACBlah, uuid=2672ad0a-9646-4c2f-8094-3b552322d79e, memberSize=36, lastMod=10/22/13 2:25:31 PM EST, description= This is a subcommunity for APAC staff who have completed their initial launch training for . , createdBy=[John User, A6F3CFCB-E9F5-3CEE-CA25-6F1000815F04]}]

Launch files admin,

wsadmin>execfile("filesAdmin.py")
Files Administration initialized.

We then need to find the ID of the corresponding Library. This is found by issuing the following command,

wsadmin>FilesLibraryService.getByExternalContainerId("2672ad0a-9646-4c2f-8094-3b552322d79e")

We then need to create the new Policy

Create a new policy, i.e we need to create a policy for 1 Gb of files in the community.

Use the following command. Anything over 2 GB needs an L at the end. format of (name, size)

wsadmin>FilesPolicyService.add("1 GB", 1073741824) 

A policy will be created, and an id given. Take note of this ID.

A policy was added with the new id 82e5ae13-efa7-4cc7-bb37-1b8d68b521cc

Now you need to apply the new policy to the Community. Format of command is (ID,Policy)

 wsadmin>FilesLibraryService.assignPolicy("9e1b8069-a132-4ea6-a32c-948634a520cc","82e5ae13-efa7-4cc7-bb37-1b8d68b521cc")
The policy with the id 82e5ae13-efa7-4cc7-bb37-1b8d68b521cc is now assigned to the library with the id 9e1b8069-a132-4ea6-a32c-948634a520cc .

 Simple hey????

A tick box on the Community administration page would kill you?
