Archiving Web site Publications

For basic configuration of the Archive Manager you need to specify the Web site, or Web sites, you want to archive. You do this by adding a <Publication> element for each Web site in the Archive Manager cd_archivemanager_conf.xml configuration file.

Procedure

  1. Open your Archive Manager cd_archivemanager_conf.xml configuration file, by default located in your Tridion Installation \config directory, in a text editor:
  2. Add a <Publication> child element in the <Publications> section for each Web site you want to archive. The <Publication> element requires the following attributes:
    • Id — is the item ID of the Publication for which you want all content that is published or unpublished from this publication to be archived.
    • BaseUrl — defines the start of a URL and typically contains the protocol, host, and port parts of the URL; any published page which contains this URL is archived.
    You can also set a default BaseUrl on the <Publications> element which is used if a <Publication> element does not have a BaseUrl specified. For example:
    <Publications BaseUrl="http://www.mywebsite.com:8080">
      <Publication Id="37"/>
      <Publication Id="20" BaseUrl="http://www.myotherwebsite.com:8082"/>
    </Publications>
    In the example above:
    • all URLs published from Publication 37 that start with the URL http://www.mywebsite.com:8080 are archived
    • all URLs published from Publication 20 that start with the URL http://www.myotherwebsite.com:8082 are archived.
  3. Save and close cd_archivemanager_conf.xml.
