Web content library management

As an administrator you need to periodically assist content managers with library maintenance, such as disabling or deleting a library. Keep in mind that some library tasks can reduce the performance of your server while running. Therefore library maintenance should only occur during off-peak periods when the least number of users are accessing a library.

Important: Some library tasks can reduce the performance of your server while running. It is recommended that library maintenance occur only during off-peak periods when the least number of users are accessing a library.

Creating Web content libraries
You create Web Content libraries in the WebSphere Portal administration portlet.
Deleting a Web content library
When a Web content library is no longer required, you can delete the library.
Disabling a Web content library
When a Web content library is no longer required, you can disable the library. This prevents the library from being accessed from an authoring portlet, preventing users from updating any items stored in the library. Any items referenced from this library are still rendered in Web content.
Unlocking a library
A library can become locked when a long running task, such as restoring all content items in a library, fails to unlock the library. In the rare event where a library becomes locked, you can use the unlock library tool to unlock the library.
Defining roles within a library
You can define the access of a user or group for a library to determine who has access to a library, and to define access to the different views within the authoring portlet.
Restoring items in a library
You can restore a set of items within a library that either have the same label or were versioned at, or before, a specified date and time.
Label a set of items in a library
You can apply a label to the most recent versions of all items in a library. This action does not create a version, it simply updates the label of the most recent version. If you have created a label, at a later time you can restore items in the library based on that label.
Setting root access for all Web content libraries
By default, only administrators have access to work with Web content libraries. To allow other users to work with Web content libraries, such as virtual portal administrators, you need to assign them access to the JCR content root node.
