23 Managing Satellite Server JSON File Properties
Satellite Server properties are located in the Satellite Server wcs_properties.json
file. The Satellite Server wcs_properties.json
file is located in the Satellite Server config
directory (specified during installation). To manage the properties in the Satellite Server wcs_properties.json
file, WebCenter Sites provides the Satellite Server Import/Export Utility.
The following topics provide information and instructions about managing the Satellite Server JSON file properties using the Import/Export Utility:
23.1 About the Satellite Server JSON File
WebCenter Sites provides the Satellite Server wcs_properties.json
file which contains all the properties required by Satellite Server. The Satellite Server JSON file is located in the Satellite Server config
directory (specified during installation). To manage the properties in the Satellite Server JSON file, WebCenter Sites provides the Satellite Server Import/Export Utility.
To access the Satellite Server Import/Export Utility, you must run a command line prompt by invoking the COM.FutureTense.Properties.Key/ValueStoreImportExport
class. For instructions, see Using the Import/Export Utility to Manage Satellite Server Properties.
23.2 Overview of the Satellite Server Import/Export Utility
The Satellite Server Import/Export Utility is used to update property values in the Satellite Server wcs_properties.json
file.
The Import/Export Utility enables users to extract the properties from the Satellite Server wcs_properties.json
file into a property file format (.ini
or .properties
) to their local system. Once you update the desired properties, you then run an import command to import your changes into the Satellite Server wcs_properties.json
file. When the WebCenter Sites system is restarted, your property changes are updated on all Satellite Server instances.
23.3 Using the Import/Export Utility to Manage Satellite Server Properties
To update Satellite Server properties, invoke the COM.FutureTense.Properties.KeyValueStoreImportExport
class to run the import and export commands for Satellite Server properties. The instructions below provide commands for Windows systems only. If you are running the commands on a Unix system, the commands are identical, however, the path separators are colons instead of semicolons.
Note:

Adding custom properties to the Satellite Server JSON file. For instruction on adding custom properties, see Adding Properties to the Satellite Server JSON File.
The properties you modified are updated in the Satellite Server wcs_properties.json
file.
23.4 Adding Properties to the Satellite Server JSON File
To enable certain Satellite Server features, you must manually add properties to the Satellite Server wcs_properties.json
file. For example, if inCache is enabled, you can add the propagatecache
property to the wcs_properties.json
file to enable page propagation among cluster nodes.
