FTS Server configurations for Windows
After you install the File Type Support (FTS) Server, you need to configure your WorldServer instance on Windows to communicate with it.
- Make sure that the WorldServer service (Idiom Process Monitor or Apache Tomcat) is running under a Windows domain account.
- Make sure that the WorldServer FTS Service is running under a Windows domain account.
- Make sure that the Windows domain account has the appropriate permissions for the folder where AIS File System mounts are stored.
- Configure the
ftsserver_shared_directoryproperty in the general.properties file under WS_CONFIG. - Configure the FTS Server file types in WorldServer.
- The folder paths in Universal Naming Convention (UNC) format for AIS File System mounts in WorldServer.
- The UNC path defined as the value of the
ftsserver_shared_directoryproperty in the general.properties file. For example, //<server-name>/<path-name>. - The UNC path defined as the value of the
temp_file_pathproperty in the general.properties file. For example, //<server-name>/<path-name>).
The WorldServer domain account
To use the FTS Server, the WorldServer service must run under a user name that has a Windows domain account and that has the same domain permissions as the user account running the FTS Server.
User permissions
The users that run both WorldServer and the FTS Server must have identical domain permissions. This includes full control permissions on sharing and security for the following: FTS Server shared directory, temp file path, and AIS mounts.
FTS Server processes
When configuring a multiple FTS Server deployment, you need to configure the NumberOfProcesses property in the Sdl.WorldServer.FileTypeSupport.Server.Launcher.exe.config file. For example, <add key="NumberOfProcesses" value="4"/>.
Also, in the Sdl.WorldServer.FileTypeSupport.Server.HostProcess.exe.config file, make sure that the value of the NumberOfDaemons property is 0 or 1. For example, <add key="NumberOfDaemons" value="1"/>. If the value is greater than 1, segmentation failures might occur when the FTS Server processes multiple assets of the same file type concurrently.
File type setup
Perform the following tasks for the specific file types you plan to use with the FTS Server:
- Set up file type groups for implementing FTS Server file types.
If you are a WorldServer administrator, consider using file type groups for FTS Server file types. You can set up a file type group of FTS Server file types and apply that group to a specific set of assets that use the same MIME type.
- Set up file type configuration settings.
