Configuring WorldServer to connect to SDL Online Editor

After deploying SDL Online Editor, you need to configure a couple of 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 directory and open the general.properties file with a text editor.
  2. Add the following properties:
    • sdl_online_editor_enabled=true
    • bcm_service.url=http://<oe-host>:8080, where <oe-host> is the name or IP address of the machine on which you deployed SDL Online Editor.
    • sdl_online_editor.url=http://<oe-host>, where <oe-host> is the name or IP address of the machine on which you deployed SDL Online Editor.
  3. Save and close the general.properties file.
  4. Go to the WS_CONFIG\ws directory and open the ui.properties file with a text editor.
  5. Add the following properties:
    • es.language_host=<oe-host>, where <oe-host> is the name or IP address of the machine on which you deployed SDL Online Editor.
    • es.router.url=<oe-host>:90, where <oe-host> is the name or IP address of the machine on which you deployed SDL Online Editor.
  6. Save and close the ui.properties file.
  7. Restart WorldServer.

What to do next

If you want the SDL Online Editor log files to be saved to a different location that the default one, change the location of your log files. If not, grant the appropriate SDL Online Editor permissions to your user types.
