The Publish Web Content campaign action makes it possible for business users to publish text or binary content to a target site. In order to support the publication of binary web content, you need to install a DistributorServer component on your HTTP server machine(s).

A standalone DistributorServer is included in the Oracle ATG Web Commerce Web Server Extensions 10.1.2 distribution, which you can download from the Oracle software delivery Web site. (For detailed installation and configuration instructions, refer to the Content Distribution chapter in the ATG Platform Programming Guide.) By default, the DistributorServer listens for connections on port 8810 and caches binary files in the <ATGWebServerExtensions_dir>\home\doc directory. For example:

port=8810
cacheDirectory=C:\\ATG\\ATGWeb10.1.2\\home\\doc

You can change these settings by editing the <ATGWebServerExtensions_dir>\home\localconfig\atg\dynamo\server\DistributorServer.properties file.

In addition to installing the DistributorServer on your HTTP server machine(s), you need to configure the /atg/campaign/communication/ContentDistributorPool components on the ATG Outreach server and each ATG Outreach Production/Staging instance. See the Configuring the ATG Outreach Environment chapter for details.

Note: The ATG platform includes its own DistributorServer under <ATG10dir>\Distributor. If you’re running an HTTP server and ATG Outreach on the same machine, you can run this DistributorServer component instead of the standalone version (described above). Add the Distributor module to the runAssembler command that you use to start your application server so that it is included in the assembled EAR file. Then add it as an initial service by editing the <ATG10dir>\home\localconfig\atg\dynamo\Initial.properties file:

initialServices+=/atg/dynamo/server/DistributorServer
