Connecting to WorldServer

The <WorldServer> element in the TranslationManager.xml file specifies connection details to WorldServer.

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 <WorldServer> section, enter the URL to the WorldServer and set attributes.
    • For example, when using WorldServer 10:
      <WorldServer username="admin" password="wsadmin">http://worldserver.ams.dev:8080/ws/services</WorldServer>
    • For example, when using WorldServer 11:
      <WorldServer username="admin" password="wsadmin" loginTimeout="3" requestTimeout="100">http://10.111.34.134:8080</WorldServer>
    Where the available attributes are as follows:
    AttributeDescription
    usernameWorldServer username
    passwordWorldServer password
    loginTimeoutApplies to WorldServer 11 - this login is used for obtaining the access token

    Typically the timeout should be a low number so an error message would be quickly displayed if the server is not available (the default is 20 seconds).

    requestTimeoutApplies to WorldServer 11 - this element is used for all communication with WorldServer other than obtaining the access token, including file transfers

    Default: 300 seconds

  3. Save and close the file.
