You can customize settings for your IBM® FileNet® eForms for P8 installation.
The
FileNet P8
eForms eForms-preferences.xml configuration
file can be used to customize
FileNet P8
eForms preference
settings. Web applications typically store this configuration file
in the WEB-INF folder. In
FileNet P8
eForms,
this configuration file is stored in the configuration folder that's
defined when the Application Engine is installed.
Tip: Additional
preferences may be added as part of a fix pack. Reference the relevant
fix pack readme to ensure you have the most up to date list of available
preferences.
Preference settings that are created by customizing the eForms-preferences.xml file
override the default settings. These preference settings are described
below.
Here's an example of a file that specifies multiple preferences:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<preferences updatePeriod="10">
<caching heartbeatPeriod="120">
<templateCache purgePeriod="5" expirationInterval="2880" maxSize="128" />
<dataCache purgePeriod="5" expirationInterval="15" />
</caching>
</preferences>
The preferences file should include only the settings that need
to be overridden. For example, the following code modifies only the
maximum size of the template cache. All other features assume the
default behavior.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<preferences>
<caching>
<templateCache maxSize="512" />
</caching>
</preferences>
To set preferences
- Use a text editor to open the eForms-preferences.xml file
in the IBM FileNet Application Engine or IBM FileNet Workplace XT installation directory.
- Using XML tags, refer to the lists below and write the code for
the settings you need.
