/IBM/Profiles/Dmgr/config/wmm/wmmAttributes.xml

          <attribute wmmAttributeName=”workingBranch”
                applicableMemberTypes=”Person”
                dataType=”String”
                valueLength=”128″
                multiValued=”true”/>

3-  Syncronize nodes  and restart servers.

     FOR 6.1.x

1-First install the attributes installer 

Locate  <wp_profile_root>/ConfigEngine on primarynode

2- run  ./ConfigEngine.sh wp-la-install-ear -DWasPassword=password  -DServerName=dmgr -DNodeName=dmgrnode

Where the default value for server_name is dmgr; you can look up the server_name value in the WebSphere Application Server Administrative Console under System administrator > Deployment Manager > Configuration tab > General Properties > Name.

Where node_name is the name of the node where the deployment manager resides; you can look up the node_name value in the WebSphere Application Server Administrative Console under System administrator > Deployment Manager > Runtime tab > General Properties > Node Name.

3-    ./stopManager.sh, from the <dmgr_profile_root>/bin directory.
./stopNode.sh -username admin_userid -password admin_password, from the <wp_profile_root>/bin directory.
./stopServer.sh WebSphere_Portal -username admin_userid -password admin_password, from the <wp_profile_root>/bin directory.
./startManager.sh, from the <dmgr_profile_root>/bin directory.
./startNode.sh, from the <wp_profile_root>/bin directory.
./startServer.sh WebSphere_Portal, from the <wp_profile_root>/bin directory.

4- edit wkplc.properties from the <wp_profile_root>/ConfigEngine/properties/ directory  with the following info:

la.providerURL=corbaloc:iiop:dmgrhost:16031(bootstrapport)
la.propertyName=postOfficeBox
la.entityTypes=PersonAccount
la.dataType=String
la.multiValued=yes

5- run ./ConfigEngine.sh wp-add-property from  the <wp_profile_root>/ConfigEngine directory
