Connecting to TMS

The <TmsServer> element in the TranslationManager.xml file specifies connection details to TMS (Translation Management System).

About this task

You can connect to TMS using standard web requests using an HTTP-based protocol. For TMS 12.1 and later, you must use HTTPS and port 443. For TMS 12.0 and prior, you can connect with regular HTTP and port 80. For more information on connecting to TMS, see the TMS documentation.

Procedure

  1. Open the TranslationManager.xml file in a text editor.
    By default, the file is located in your %TRIDION_HOME%\config directory.
  2. In the <TmsServer> section, enter the URL to the TMS system and set appropriate attributes, for example:
    <TmsServer port="443" compression="true" ssl="true" username="TmsUserName" password="secret">acme.example.com</TmsServer>

    where the attributes are as follows:

    AttributeDescription
    portPort number used by the TMS
    compressionThe Boolean indicating whether to compress data transfer or not
    sslThe Boolean indicating whether to use Secure Socket Layer protocol, or not, for secure communications
    usernameThe user name of an TMS user

    This attribute is required if you want to use the Translation Review workflow functionality.

    passwordThe password to be used in combination with the username

    This attribute is required if you want to use the Translation Review workflow functionality.

    RWS recommends using its encryption tool to encrypt the password after you set it in the file.

  3. Save and close the file.
