Configuring the URL of the Add-ons Service

In order to display relevant screens for managing extensions, Content Manager Explorer needs to know the URL of the Add-ons Service. This URL is determined and set during installation of Content Manager. If, for whatever reason, the URL of the Add-ons Service changes, you need to update the URL in the Content Manager configuration.

Procedure

  1. On the Content Manager server navigate to the web\SDL\manifests\wcm\ subfolder of %TRIDION_HOME%.
  2. In this location, open manifest.xml for editing.
  3. Find the applicationEntryPoint element with its id attribute set to the value AddonService.
  4. Set the value of this element to the new URL of the Add-ons Service.
  5. Save and close manifest.xml.
