Configuring the Transport Service

Configure the Transport Service to make actual publishing of content possible.

Procedure

  1. Open cd_transport_conf.xml, by default located in the Content Manager config directory, in a plain-text or XML editor.
  2. In the WorkFolder element, set the value of the Location attribute to a folder where the Transport Service can store temporary files.
  3. If you want to configure multiple thread pools for the Transport Service, you can do so by insert an element called Workers directly under the WorkFolder element, and setting one or more of the following attributes:
    Attribute nameAttribute description
    TransportPriorityPoolSizeThe maximum number of workers for normal transport. Defaults to 5 if omitted. This attribute can also be set to 0 (meaning unlimited threads).
    NormalPriorityPoolSizeThe maximum number of workers for transport operations such as unzipping and state synchronization. Defaults to 5 if omitted.
    HighPriorityPoolSizeThe maximum number of workers for high-priority transport. Defaults to 5 if omitted.

    Each of the attribute values must be equal to, or higher than, the number of threads configured for the Publisher in the MMC Snap-in.

  4. Find the Senders and ensure the presence of the following Sender element(s) as needed:
    HTTP
    <Sender Type="HTTP"	Class="com.tridion.transport.connection.connectors.HTTPSTransportConnector" />
    HTTPS
    <Sender Type="HTTPS"	Class="com.tridion.transport.connection.connectors.HTTPSTransportConnector" />
  5. Save and close cd_transport_conf.xml.
  6. Access your Windows Services.
  7. Locate the Windows service called SDL Web Transport Service and restart it.
