Pre-rendering a website

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

Administrator access: To pre-render a website, have administrator access to the library containing the site area.

Automatically pre-rendering a website

Pre-rendering can be run according to the cacher settings specified for the WCM WCMConfigService service as part of the pre-rendering configuration.

Manually pre-rendering a website

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

http://host_name:port_number/wps/connect?MOD=Cacher&SRV=cacheSite&sitearea=sitearea_name&library=library_name

Service	Required Parameters	Optional Parameters
SRV=cacheSite Initializes prerendering for the given site area with a delay as given (in seconds).	sitearea=<site area name>	DELAY=<delay> LIBRARY=<library> If no library is specified, the default library is used, as specified by the defaultLibrary property in the WCM WCMConfigService service.
SRV=flushSiteCache Clears (flushes) the given site cache. Deletes all pre-rendered data.	sitearea=<siteareaname>	LIBRARY=<library> If no library is specified, the default library is used, as specified by the defaultLibrary property in the WCM WCMConfigService service.

We can also pre-render individual pages using the following URL:

• To pre-render individual content items the site area specified in the URL must either be a site area set in the WCM WCMConfigService service, or have previously manually pre-rendered the site area using "SRV=cacheSite".
