Default value: csuser

Note: Changing the default name is not recommended.


10.2 Asset Default Tab

The Asset Default tab holds properties that are used to define certain default details about asset types, such as cache information, default ACLs, and whether CKEditor is present. These properties are documented here in alphabetical order:

Table 10-2 Properties in futuretense_xcel.ini: Asset Default Tab

Property Description

xcelerate.asset.shareToAllAllowed

Specifies whether the assets can be shared to all sites.

Legal values: true | false

Default value: 64

xcelerate.body.length

Specifies the number of characters that are stored for the Body field in the Article table in the urlbody column.

Data entered in the Body field for an article asset (a sample site asset type) is written to the urlbody column. Because this is a URL column, that data is actually stored as a file outside of the WebCenter Sites database.

However, the first <n> number of characters, where <n> equals the value specified for this property, is also stored in the body column so that you can search for text in the body of an article asset with the search feature in the WebCenter Sites interfaces.

Default value: 1000

  • unknowndeps—means that cached pages that were generated from an element that used a RENDER.UNKNOWNDEPS tag are not refreshed.

  • * (asterisk)—means none of the pages in the cache are refreshed. In other words, the affected pages are refreshed only when a visitor requests the page.

Default value: blank

Do not change the value of this property without first consulting Oracle support personnel.

xcelerate.exportmaxfilename

This is the maximum length of any file name generated during export publishing.

If you are running Windows NTFS, you may want to set this to a low value to make it possible to re-export, delete or rename files created by the export-to-disk publish process. NTFS has an upper limit of 255 characters for any path name.

xcelerate.mirrorini

If you have had the element identified by the xcelerate.remotecall property modified in such a way that it needs information from additional property files other than futuretense.ini, this property specifies the names of all the property files that are needed.

If set to false, only asset types of the assets involved in the publish and their dependent asset types will be published.

Note: If you want to set this property to false, you have to make sure that all asset types that exist on the source server also exist on the publish destination.

xcelerate.publishinvalidate

Specifies whether an asset is marked as changed on the destination system when an asset is published. If it is marked as changed, it must be approved on that system before it can be published from that system to a new destination.

Legal values: true | false

Default value: true

Because having the publishing system take the time to mark the assets as changed on the destination adds time to the publishing session, typically you leave this property set to true on development and management systems but change it to false on delivery systems.

Default value: Openmarket/TemplateDefault


10.10 Transformer Tab

The Transformer tab holds the properties that apply to content created in Sites Desktop, where both text and a single image are saved to the same blob attribute, and format is preserved (i.e., both the text and the image are preserved when converted to an asset). The Oracle Fusion Middleware WebCenter Sites Administrator's Guide covers the remaining scenarios, such as a blob attribute holding data of a single type, for which setting a property is not required.

Table 10-10 Properties in futuretense_xcel.ini: Transformer Tab

Property Description

transformer.imgdir

Specifies the path to the image files that Sites Desktop will use when transforming a Word document into an asset. This property applies only to assets created in Sites Desktop, where both text and a single image are saved to the same blob attribute, and format is preserved.

Note: This property is not set by the installer. Leaving it blank will cause Sites Desktop to ignore the <transformer.imgdir> directory and therefore omit image files from the assets it creates from Word documents.

When a blob attribute in a given asset type is enabled for Sites Desktop and it supports data of mixed types, users can save text and a single image to the blob attribute when they create or edit the Word document. When the Word document is saved, its content is transformed into an asset. During transformation, the image file is written to the <transformer.imgdir> directory, while the text is stored as HTML in the URL column in the WebCenter Sites database. The HTML file has an unmanaged link to the image in the <transformer.imgdir> directory. (The asset is accessible from the WebCenter Sites user interface; the Word document remains intact and available for editing through Sites Desktop.) Blob fields containing data of mixed types require you to implement a process that regularly mirrors the <transformer.imgdir> directory to the delivery system, because the publishing system does not mirror this directory.

To set the <transformer.imgdir> path

  1. Define a webroot somewhere that points to a directory in a shared file system which is accessible from all cluster members.

  2. Set transformer.imgurl to be either the relative URL path (starting with /) of the webroot you defined, or the absolute URL (starting with http) of the webroot.

  3. Set transformer.imgdir to the directory path that the webroot points to.

For more information about the storage of content created (or edited) in Sites Desktop, see the Oracle Fusion Middleware WebCenter Sites Administrator's Guide.

transformer.imgurl

This property specifies either the relative URL path or the absolute path of the webroot that Sites Desktop will use to store the image files it extracts from Word documents when converting the Word documents to assets. (The Word documents remain intact.)

Note: This property is used with the transformer.imgdir property and applies only to assets created in Sites Desktop, where both text and a single image are saved to the same blob attribute, and the format is preserved.

This property is not set by the installer. Leaving it blank will cause Sites Desktop to ignore the directory containing the image files (<transformer.imgdir>) and therefore omit image files from the assets it creates from Word documents.

For more information about the usage of this property, see transformer.imgdir.
