Other configurations
In addition to the mandatory configurations, there are other settings in the general.properties file that will improve your WorldServer experience, whether you installed WorldServer with the Windows installer or manually, through Apache Tomcat.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
url_of_origin | Find this property and modify its value to include the URL to the root of the WorldServer application under the application server. For example: url_of_origin=http://worldserver.company.com:8080/ws-legacy This URL is used in various places in WorldServer, such as email notifications or translation kits. The hostname in the URL should be a host that can be resolved and that WorldServer users can access. Do not use localhost or an IP address as a hostname. If you do not configure the value of this property, users will have to set it manually in their client each time they want to upload a project back to the server from SDL Trados Studio. |
zip_encoding | WorldServer uses UTF-8 encoding to encode file names in .zip archives. However, some localized versions of Windows use different encodings to read .zip archives. If the encodings do not match, the extracted file names may be corrupt. To avoid this issue, configure WorldServer to use the same encoding as your localized system. Search for the |
file_attribute_storage | By default, Attachment-type attributes are stored in the WorldServer temp folder. However, you might not want them stored in the temp folder, because that folder gets cleaned up periodically. To configure WorldServer to store these attachments elsewhere, uncomment the |
calculate_segment_length_in_bytes | This property determines whether WorldServer measures segment length in bytes or in characters. By default, the length is measured in characters. To enable length calculation in bytes, uncomment the |
adhoc_asset_timeout | This property schedules the removal of obsolete data from your database when you create translation projects from WorldServer Explorer. By default, this property is disabled (set at zero days). |
workbench_generate_target | This property manages the automatic generation of target files. By default, it is enabled. To disable it, uncomment the following line: #workbench_generate_target=false |
security.password.encryption.algorithm | By default, WorldServer uses PBKDF2 (Password-Based Key Derivation Function 2) for password encryption. You can configure a different type of password encryption by changing the value of the security.password.encryption.algorithm property. |
prefer_shallow_soap_objects | This property was added in WorldServer 10.4.5. When you add it and set its value to true, it addresses an issue related to poor performance and high memory usage caused by web services deep copies for heavy duty resources. This property will use shallow copies (which do not expand embedded resources) for the following resources: WSGroup, WSClient, WSRole, WSLocale, WSWorkgroup, WSProject. It is recommended for systems that integrate with Tridion Sites and Tridion Docs. By default, this property is disabled ( |
