Editing the cobrands.xml file

The cobrands.xml file defines the active resources for your portal installation. When you add a new resource, you must manually add the resource information to cobrands.xml:

1. Navigate to the cobrands directory:

   Tomcat:

   SYBASE\tomcat\webapps\onepage\fw\cobrands

   EAServer:

   SYBASE\EAServer\Repository\WebApplication\onepage\fw\cobrands

2. Create a new folder using this naming format:

    resource_name-resource_ID 
   

   where resource name is the name entered when you created the resource in Mobile Web Studio, and resource ID is the portal-assigned identification number. For example: newResource-211.

3. Navigate to the config directory:

   Tomcat:

   SYBASE\tomcat\webapps\onepage\config

   EAServer:

   SYBASE\EAServer\Repository\WebApplication\onepage\config

4. Open cobrands.xml in any text editor and copy an existing <CobrandDef> section and paste it below the last <CobrandDef> section in the file before the </Cobrands> tag. For example, copy and paste the Sybase section.

5. In the section you copied, update the information to reflect the new resource. Enter:

   • Rid – the resource ID generated by Mobile Web Studio; for example, 211.

   • Name – the resource name; for example, newResource.

   • Dir – the directory you created for the new resource where you copy the resource-specific files; for example, /fw/cobrands/newResource-211.

   • Charset – the character set you want the resource to use.

   • EmailCharset – the character set you want the e-mail application to use.

   • EmailerSetting – indicates whether the Mobile Web Studio sends an e-mail message to the user when you create a new account. A setting of “1” indicates send an e-mail message; a setting of “0” (zero) indicates not to send a message.

     If you do not have an SMTP server, or if you do not want an e-mail message to be sent, set the value of emailerSetting to “0.” An e-mail message is written to the WorkRoot\email directory.

     The value of the WorkRoot property is specified in the global.properties.xml file (typically x:\tmp); see the WorkRoot entry in “Global property group” for additional information. The email file name is the e-mail address of the user.

   Your entry should look similar to this:

   <CobrandDef rid='211' name='newResource'      dir='/fw/cobrands/newResource-211'      charset='ISO-8859-1'      emailCharset='ISO-8859-1'      emailerSetting='1' > </CobrandDef>

6. Save and close the cobrands.xml file.
