Manual configuration in the repository


In order for the rendering service to display content from the repository the rendering service has to be registered with the repository. By means of the import (see above) the configuration will be created. If changes are necessary the file can be edited manually. You can find it at "[install path of the repo]/Alfresco/tomcat/shared/classes/". The file name consists of "app-[appid of the rendering service].properties.xml".
