FileNet P8 eForms, Version 4.0.2+            

Preference settings reference

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.
