Web Content Manager configuration services

Web Content Manager configuration services

Configuration services for IBM Web Content Manager contain settings for the general operation of the web content system, including settings for messaging, pre-rendering, and searching.

To view or change settings in these configuration services, the preferred method is to use the WAS admin console.

Whether the cache holds user object in the web content system. Default value: false

admin.delete.error.percent.threshold

The error percent threshold for a given type when deleting a library. This value is specified as an integer from 0 to 100. If the threshold level is reached for any type, the library deletion task is stopped.

deployment.subscriberOnly

Whether this instance of WCM will only be subscribed to by other servers and will never itself syndicate content to other servers. If set to true, all item gatherers are deleted and the item changed task is not added to the scheduler. This improves performance and is recommended for production machines that are subscribe-only servers. Default value: false

deployment.itemChangedTaskDelay

Number of seconds to use as the syndication interval, with a minimum of 0 seconds and a maximum of 65536 seconds. A value of 0 will prevent syndication from occurring. The shorter the interval, the sooner an update can be sent, but because frequent syndication can affect performance on servers with large amounts of content, a longer interval might be required. Default value: 30
