Add new attribute to Look Aside database

Once the look aside database is configured you can add attributes to it by following these steps.

• Open the wp_add_LA.properties file that you used for Configuring Lookaside database and set values for following properties like this
  

  
  # Name of the property to be added.
  la.propertyName=favoriteMovie
  
  # A list of entity types, the new property is applicable to
  # Can be one of the following:
  #  PersonAccount 
  #  Group 
  #  PersonAccount,Group
  la.entityTypes=PersonAccount
  
  # Data type. For example String.
  la.dataType=String
  
  # Defines if the property can contain multiple attributes or not. true or false
  la.multiValued=true
  

  
  Here i am configuring it to add favoriteMovie attribute to PersonAccount type. It is of String type and can have multiple values

./ConfigEngine.sh wp-add-la-property -DWasPassword=wasadmin -DparentProperties=/software/WebSphere/wp_profile/ConfigEngine/config/helpers/wp_add_LA.properties
