Configuring the Event System
You can configure general behavior of the Event System, for example threads and thread timeouts, in the Content Manager configuration file, Tridion.ContentManager.config.
About this task
Note: To configure individual Event Handlers, refer to Triggering Events.
Procedure
- Navigate to
%TRIDION_HOME%. - Open Tridion.ContentManager.config in a text editor.
- You can configure the behavior of the Event System by adjusting the following attribute values in the
<eventSystem>element:[/task/taskbody/steps/step/info/table/tgroup/thead/row/entry {"col1"}) Attribute (entry][/task/taskbody/steps/step/info/table/tgroup/thead/row/entry {"col3"}) Description (entry][/task/taskbody/steps/step/info/table/tgroup/tbody/row/entry {"col1"})maxThreadCount(entry][/task/taskbody/steps/step/info/table/tgroup/tbody/row/entry {"col3"}) The maximum number of Event System threads running at any one time. Initially set to 5. (entry][/task/taskbody/steps/step/info/table/tgroup/tbody/row/entry {"col1"})threadTimeout(entry][/task/taskbody/steps/step/info/table/tgroup/tbody/row/entry {"col3"}) Amount of time, in seconds, after which an unresponsive thread times out. Initially set to 30. (entry][/task/taskbody/steps/step/info/table/tgroup/tbody/row/entry {"col1"})threadNamePrefix(entry][/task/taskbody/steps/step/info/table/tgroup/tbody/row/entry {"col3"}) Do not change this value unless you have a pressing reason to do so (for example, if you have other threads that use the same prefix). Initially set to "EventSystem". (entry]Only change the
maxThreadCountandthreadTimeoutvalues if you are experiencing problems with your Event System implementation. In general, keep both values as low as possible. - Save and close Tridion.ContentManager.config.
- To apply your changes, restart
TcmServiceHostand, if the event you enabled has a dependency on the Publisher service,TcmPublisheras well.
