The /atg/endeca/assembler/cartridge/manager/WorkbenchContentSource component uses a store factory to retrieve promoted content. There are two store factory types: com.endeca.infront.content.source.EcrStoreFactory, which supports the direct method, and com.endeca.infront.content.source.FileStoreFactory, which supports the file-based method. If no store factory is specified, the WorkbenchContentSource creates an instance of EcrStoreFactory.

This section describes how to configure your Oracle Commerce Platform server instance to use the file-based method for retrieving content. The configuration required differs depending on whether your environment uses a single MDEX engine or multiple MDEX engines.
