IBM R1 Installing a customization set on the Offline Learning Client

• Use text unchecked, the customization set uses the files in the LMM properties

directory; checked, the files in the customization set’s properties directory are to

be used.

6. Reboot the server(s) to complete the process of defining and assigning the customization.

Installing a customization set on the Offline Learning Client

You can create what are, in effect, customization sets for use on the Offline Learning Client. To do

this:

1. Install the Offline Learning Client on the WebSphere Application Server.

2. Navigate to duc.war (in the installedApps\DefaultNode\duc.ear directory), and edit its

contents as you like, altering or replacing files, adding new files to be referenced by those

files, or both.

For example, you might substitute a custom graphic for the one that appears at the top of

the About box (lmsBrandingAbout.gif). You could do this in either of two ways:

• Edit lmsBrandingAbout.gif.

• Create a different graphic file (say, myAboutGraphic.gif) in the duc\images

directory, and edit the file that refers to it (aboutDS.jsp, in the DUC root

directory), replacing the reference to lmsBrandingAbout.gif with a reference to

myAboutGraphic.gif.

3. Create a Zip file containing just the customized files, making sure to preserve the server

directory structure (placing custom JSPs in the DUC root directory, custom images in the

DUC\images directory, and so on):

DUC

anonymous

CSS

images

etc.

WEB-INF

classes

com

resources

DUC

properties

lib

etc.

So, if all you did was change lmsBrandingAbout.gif, that’s the only file you would

include in the Zip file. If, on the other hand, you changed aboutDS.jsp and created a

graphic for it (myAboutGraphic.gif), you would include both the edited aboutDS.jsp and

myAboutGraphic.gif in the Zip file. The Zip file would then look like this:

Zip file

Name Type Modified Size Path

aboutDS.jsp

myAboutGraphic.gif

4. When users install the Offline Learning Client, they can enter the path to this Zip file in

the installation dialog box. As part of the installation process, the application unzips the
