How To Use the dsservice state admin command

The dsservice state admin command line utility places the site into a state where only the modifySchema can be run. All other activities such as dsindex index_all and dsexport will not work in this state because the operation is not allowed.

Note: If you require that only the DocuShare site admin has access to the site, all other uses will not have access to DocuShare, and that the site is fully functional. This can be done via the browser by setting the Site Access Authority to Administrator or via the Command Line.

To Set the Site Access Authority to Admin:

1.             Log into DocuShare as admin.

2.             Select Site Management | Access Policies.  The Access Policies page will display.

3.             Next to Site Access Authority select Administrator.

4.             Click the Apply button to save the changes.

To set the site back follow the same process but select either User or Guest next to Site Access Authority depending on the Site Access you require.  Then click Apply.

To Set the Site Access Authority to Admin via the command line:

1.             Open a Command Prompt window.

2.             Change into the <dshome>\bin directory.

Where <dshome> is replaced with the installation directory for Docushare.  The default installation path is C:\Xerox\Docushare. Depending on your installation environment the path may vary.

3.             Type dssetprop Server siteAccess admin and press Enter.

To set DocuShare back to its initial setting use one of the following commands depending on the Site Access you require.  

•                      dssetprop Server siteAccess guest

•                      dssetprop Server siteAccess user
