Pre-rendering a Web site

Pre-rendering can be configured to run automatically, or you can manually pre-render a site using a URL.

• Administrator access:

  In order to pre-render a Web site, have administrator access to the library that contains the site area.

Automatically pre-rendering a Web site

The CacherModule can be configured to run when the Web Content Management application is loaded by specifying the following property in WCMConfigService.properties.

connect.businesslogic.module.cacher.autoload=true

The CacherModule will then run according to the settings in WCMConfigService.properties

If you have enabled the cacher module as the default module you do not need to edit this property as the cacher module will be started automatically.

Manually pre-rendering a Web site

Pre-rendering can be also be initiated through the URL interface.

For example: http://host_name:port_number/wps/wcm/connect?MOD=Cacher&SRV=cacheSite&Site=site_name&library=library_name
