How to change the default view to Streamline

Hi all,

It is a client requirement to see the streamline view as default. We have set some properties in main_component.xml file as following:

<pages>

<start>/webtop/main/streamlineview.jsp</start>

<classic>/webtop/main/classicview.jsp</classic>

<streamline>/webtop/main/streamlineview.jsp</streamline>

</pages>

<entrypage>streamline</entrypage>

We have also changed this property in app.xml file

<!--

 set this to true to make streamlineview always visible

-->

But it's not working. Classic view is appearing as default.

Any clue?

We are using Webtop 6.5 version.

In case i solve the problem, how could i edit the streamline view. What i want is to delete some tabs that appears in the upper area of the view(e.g. Category, my files, etc)

Refresh the configuration service to pick up the changes by logging out of Webtop and either restarting the application server, or logging back in and then enter the refresh URL:

http://<server_name>:<port_number>/<webtop>/wdk/refresh.jsp

Althoug I tried those changes, the result is the same.

I forgot to say that the system is an upgrade of the 5.3 version.

Refreshing the configuration should be enough normally. Did you try restarting the application server?

Inolte

Yes, we did.

I think i did all the correct steps to achieve this but still isn't showing streamline view by default.

Have you verified that this config change works in "out of the box" webtop 6.5? Streamline view has been hidden since 6.0 so something small but critical may have got missed in testing

Inolte

I knew that the 6.0 version and upper versions had the streamline view hidden by default. But in the 5.3 version the streamline version was the default view so which one would remain in case we upgrade from the 5.3 version to 6.5?

Could it be any conflict? I think there is something tiny missing in our configuration or something that is avoiding it to work properlly.

All the webtop customization that you made in 5.X may not work in D6. Especially streamline views Go through the below note to see how to enable stream line view in Webtop.

Enabling Streamline View

Symptoms

Streamline view is not avaiable by default in D6

Cause

To improve user experience the Streamline view has been disabled.

Resolution

Streamline view can be enabled through configuration.

To enable Streamline view for all users and all http sessions, add the display element to custom/app.xml remembering to copy any additional elements within the display elements from extended layers:

<streamlineviewvisible>true</streamlineviewvisible>

To enable Streamline view for a given session, start the application using the URL for the main component with the argument ?entryPage=streamline:

e.g.

http://localhost:8080/webtop/component/main?entryPage=streamline

Once Streamline view is enabled for a http session, it cannot be disabled within the same session.

your assumption is logical..... logic has failed me many times with "out of the box" software hence I always check that the OOTB will do what I need before I add customisations to the mix... if you are to raise a support case with EMC, you will need to do what I say or they will not listen to you

Inolte

It is a litle weird because i can see the streamline tab altough in the webtop/app.xml the <streamlineview>false</streamlineview>. Anyway, if I try putting it to true, the result is the same. And trying this URL http://localhost:8080/webtop/component/main?entryPage=streamline An exception raises, saying that the posibility not to show the exception hasen't been defined, Once the window closed....and no more.

Finally I installed a clena instance of documentum 6.5 and all the changes worked, noticing that I had to edit two files. main_component.xml and mainex_componet.xml. Does it make any sense?

Thank you for all of your help. In the end i did all the required tasks.
