About Configuring Microsite Management


The mmlayout.txt file is used by Page Designer to schematically represent the layout of the applets in the view (Figure 8). The file contains layout information for all Siebel preconfigured views designed to contain unstructured content.

The mmlayout.txt file also contains a parameter used to turn page caching on and off.

On a Windows platform, the mmlayout.txt file can be found in SIEBEL_ROOT\siebsrvr\bin. On a UNIX platform, the file can be found in SIEBEL_ROOT/siebsrvr/lib.

Adding New View Layouts to the mmlayout.txt File

If you have created new views in your Siebel application, and you want to use these views as templates for microsite pages, you need to edit the mmlayout.txt file to schematically describe how the applets in your views are laid out.

NOTE:  For information about creating views that can contain unstructured content, see Siebel Tools Reference.

Turning Microsite Page Caching Off

By default, page caching of microsite pages is turned on.

The advantage of page caching is that microsite pages are rendered faster.

The disadvantage of page caching is that if you make a change to a page using Page Designer, the change (although visible in preview mode) does not appear on the actual page until you log off and back in.

TIP:  If you have both a staging and a production environment, consider using page caching in the production environment, but not in the staging environment.

To turn off microsite page caching

  1. Open the mmlayout.txt file in a text editor.
  2. Change the line

    <EnablePageCaching>TRUE</EnablePageCaching>

    to

    <EnablePageCaching>FALSE</EnablePageCaching>

    NOTE:  Because page caching is the default, if you delete the line, page caching remains on.

  3. Save and close the file.
