Define syndication options in...

was_profile_root/PortalServer/wcm/shared/app/config/wcmservices/WCMConfigService.properties

Restart WebSphere Portal to enable any configuration changes made to this file.

When making changes to clustered servers, edit the WCM ConfigService.properties file in each node of the cluster.

Details of syndication parameters are listed in the Syndication section of WCM ConfigService.properties.

 

Change the syndication interval

You can shorten the syndication interval in an active authoring environment where users must collaborate heavily and rely on timely replication.

You can lengthen the interval to avoid excessive replication of data that does not change often.

The syndication interval applies to all syndication operations and cannot be specified separately for different syndicator-subscriber pairs.

To change, set the property:

deployment.itemChangedTaskDelay property

Possible values...

• Default: 30 seconds.
• Minimum: 0 seconds
• Maximum: 65536 seconds.

A value of 0 will prevent syndication from occurring.

If too short, so that syndication cannot complete before the interval expires, syndication begins again when the previous syndication completes.

 

Disable automatic syndication

In some cases you might choose to rely only on manual syndication to have complete control over when syndication occurs. To do this, disable automatic syndication.

When automatic syndication is disabled, the syndication interval setting is ignored. You only change this setting on the syndicator server.

To disable automatic syndication, set...

connect.moduleconfig.syndication.inittasks

 

Configure a subscriber-only server

A syndicator server uses several processes to gather and queue content for syndication.

These processes can sometimes impact server performance when run. However, a subscriber-only server does not require these processes, so you can improve performance on the subscriber-only server by disabling the processes.

To do this, set...

deployment.subscriberOnly=true
