Configuring the Transport Service
Configure the Transport Service to make actual publishing of content possible.
Procedure
- Open
cd_transport_conf.xml, by default located in the Content Managerconfigdirectory, in a plain-text or XML editor. - In the
WorkFolderelement, set the value of theLocationattribute to a folder where the Transport Service can store temporary files. - If you want to configure multiple thread pools for the Transport Service, you can do so by insert an element called
Workersdirectly under theWorkFolderelement, and setting one or more of the following attributes:Attribute name Attribute 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 Tridion.ContentManager.config.
Note: If you store metadata on the file system rather than in a database, you cannot configure multiple workers. - Find the
Senderselement and ensure the presence of the followingSenderelement(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" />
- By default, the Transport Service applies a 60-second timeout to HTTP requests. To change this value, ensure that the
Senderselement has anHttpConnectionTimeoutattribute set to your preferred timeout value, in milliseconds. For example, for a 2-minute timeout, set the attribute to 120000. - By default, the Transport Service uses at most 5 connections per route. To change this value, ensure that the
Senderselement has aMaxConnectionsPerRouteattribute set to your preferred maximum number of connections. - Save and close
cd_transport_conf.xml. - Access your Windows Services.
- Locate the Windows service called SDL Tridion Sites Transport Service and restart it.
