7.3.1 Updating the Learning settings in the dbbuild.properties file

If you did not set the optional Learning parameters in the dbbuild.properties file

during the HTTP server configuration, set them during the post-installation

configuration process. Some optional parameters will cause error conditions

unless they are modified. For example, if you do not populate the to and from

e-mail addresses, you will receive a configuration error, such as:

com.ibm.workplace.elearn.error: CLQAH0795E: Null or invalid email address:

{1}.

To update Learning settings in dbbuild.properties, perform the following steps:

1. Open \IBM\Workplace\WorkplaceServer\config\database\dbbuild.properties

in a text editor.

2. Change the properties required by your environment.

Table 7-1 shows the IBM Workplace Collaborative Learning properties in

dbbuild.properties that are set by the installation program. Changing these

properties is optional. Properties you should consider changing are

emphasized in bold italic.
