Configuring WorldServer to connect to SDL Online Editor

After deploying SDL Online Editor, you need to configure a few properties on your WorldServer environment to make sure that WorldServer can connect to SDL Online Editor.

Procedure

  1. On the WorldServer host machine, go to the WS_CONFIG folder and open the general.properties file with a text editor.
  2. Add the following properties:
    • sdl_online_editor_enabled=true
    • bcm_service.url=<protocol>://<oe_host>:<bcm_port>
    • sdl_online_editor.url=<protocol>://<oe_host>:<oe_port>
    • bcm_service.use_compression=true
    In this case, <oe_host> is the IP address or the fully qualified domain name of the machine on which you deployed the SDL Online Editor services, <protocol> is the protocol on which each SDL Online Editor service is installed, and <bcm_port> is the port on which the SDL BCM Service is running (for example, 8080 on HTTP or 8043 on HTTPS).
  3. Save and close the general.properties file.
  4. Go to the WS_CONFIG\ws folder and open the ui.properties file with a text editor.
  5. Add the following properties:
    • es.language_host=<oe_host>:<oe_port>
    • es.router.url=<oe_host>:<oe_router_port>
    In this case, <oe_host> is the IP address or the fully qualified domain name of the machine on which you deployed the SDL Online Editor services, <oe_port> is the HTTPS port used by SDL Online Editor, and <oe_router_port> is the port on which the SDL Editor Service Router is running (for example, 90 on HTTP or 9443 on HTTPS).
  6. Save and close the ui.properties file.
  7. Stop the WorldServer service and start it again.

What to do next

Grant the appropriate SDL Online Editor permissions to your WorldServer user types.
