Issues with Hosting a new RM Extension


Vaibhav S (106247) | asked May 27 '19, 2:55 a.m.
Hi, I am trying to host a DNG extesion on my local CLM Instance.

I referred the below 2 links for the same:

2. https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RMExtensionsInTheWidgetCatalog50 - the details for Step-2 refer to a link               which is broken and the information is missing.

I followed the steps completely from Link-1, on adding Widget it says "Failed".

Is there any other reference link which can be accessed, or can the broken link be fixed.

Please let me know.

Thanks
Vaibhav

1)Make sure the widget catalog XML definition file is located in the proper path:

For Example if you are using liberty server:

C:\Programs\DOORSNG\server\liberty\servers\clm\dropins\war\extensions\WidgetCatalog.xml

 

2)And also ensure you enter the proper URL in the Advanced properties:

 

a)Make sure the url is properly entered in the Advanced Properties.


b)Under the  RM Client Component section--> com.ibm.rdm.widgetcatalog.internal.WidgetCatalog -->User Extension Catalog URL


c)Enter the URL that points to your widget catalog .(For Example:https://windows.svl.ibm.com:9443/extensions/WidgetCatalog.xml)


d)Return to the top of the page and click Save to finalize your changes.

 

3)Try adding the widgets again to RM 


Hope this helps!

<ModulePrefs title='DNG Cleanup Widget' height='250' scrolling='true'>
<Require feature='com.ibm.rdm.rm.api'></Require>
</ModulePrefs>
<Content type='html'>
<![CDATA[
<html>
   <head>
   </head>
   <body>
   Click on this Button to Run DNG Cleanup Utility
   <button onclick="myFunction()">Click me</button>
    
    <script >
    function myFunction() { 
alert("Start DNG Cleanup Utility"); 
    var wshShell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");  
    alert("Creating Active X Object 3"); 
    wshShell.Run("D:/dev/Executables/run.bat");

I also looked at this a while back and shared my experience here: https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2016/03/02/alien-skies-peeking-into-doors-next-extensibility/ maybe that can help. 

Otherwise share the issue you are having. Maybe someone can help (maybe the link is not important)
