Designate the Project Coordinator role

IXIA CCMS provides a default Project Coordinator role but you can designate a different role to perform this function.

About this task

Changing the default Project Coordinator role involves both changing the designated role and changing a system index to match the new designation.

Procedure

  1. In the TEXTML Administration perspective, connect to your server.
  2. Locate the projectconf.xml file in the repository's /system/conf collection.
  3. Check out the file and open it for editing.
  4. In the <coordinatorrole> element, enter the word or phrase used to designate the project coordinator role, such as:
    <coordinatorrole>Project coordinator</coordinatorrole>
    Note: The role name specified here must be defined in roles.xml and be assigned the appropriate access in accessrights.xml.
  5. Save, close, and check in the file.
  6. Locate the Inmdex Definitions file at the root of the repository.
  7. Check out the file and open it for editing.
  8. Find the project_coordinator index:
    <index NAME="project_coordinator" CUSTOMPROPERTY="True">
    <!-- Index referenced by the Advanced Search on attributes -->
        <stringindex KEEPEXTRACTEDVALUES="True">
            <elements>
                <element DEPTH="INFINITE" XPATH="//assignment[@role='Project Coordinator']/assignedTo"/>
            </elements>
        </stringindex>
    </index>
  9. Ensure the role shown in [@role='____'] matches the role you designated.

    Make index changes when the system is at its lowest use level. Index changes may take some time to process.

  10. Save, close, and check in the file.
  11. Inform users of the changes.
    The changes are automatically applied once users close and then reopen their IXIA CCMS Desktop. Users can also apply the changes without restarting their CCMS Desktop by clicking IXIA CCMS > Synchronize Configuration.
