Modifying Hidden Alfresco One Source Parameters

The Add Source and Source: ... General pages of the Administration Tool present the parameters with which you can configure the connector for most setups. More advanced and more rarely used parameters are hidden. You can choose to make one or more of these parameters appear in the Add Source and Source: ... General pages of the Administration Tool so that you can change their default value. Consider changing values of hidden parameters only when you encounter timeout error messages or performance issues.

There is only one advanced hidden parameter for Alfresco One sources. The parameter type (integer, string,…) appears between parentheses following the parameter name.

NumberOfRetries (Integer)

The number of retries allowed when a failed web request is recoverable. The default value is 3.

Timeout (Integer)

The number of seconds to wait before the request times out (i.e., the time for the server to respond to a request). The default value is 100 seconds.

ReadTimeout (Integer)

The timeout in seconds when reading the content from the server. The default value is 300 seconds.

RepositoryName (Integer)

The name of the repository to index. The default value is -default-.

BatchSize (Integer)

Number of items to fetch per request made to the Alfresco One server. The default value is 25. The minimum value is 1. A small value forces the connector to make small but frequent queries to the Alfresco One server. A larger value leads to larger and less frequent queries.

CacheTTLInMinutes (Integer)

The number of minutes an unused cached item (user or CMIS object) can remain in the cache. The default value is 5 minutes.

Use the following procedure only when you want to modify the above hidden source parameters.
