[edit] Config changes for 3.0 Activity Service
[edit] Bootstrap
The bootstrap should pick-up the hibernate dialect (via the bootstrap config) so the 3 activity tables (and other objects, such indexes etc) should be automatically created in your chosen database:
- alf_activity_post
- alf_activity_feed
- alf_activity_feed_controls
[edit] Runtime Configuration
If not already done so for your installation, verify and/or override the following configuration options:
[edit] Custom SQL Map Config
Although the Activity Service currently uses iBatis rather than Hibernate, it does use the hibernate dialect property to indicate the configured DB dialect.
Ensure that sqlMapConfig points to the correct hibernate dialect. For example, assuming you already use:
- .../alfresco/extension/custom-hibernate-dialect.properties
then:
- copy .../alfresco/extension/custom-activities-SqlMapConfig.xml.sample to .../alfresco/extension/custom-activities-SqlMapConfig.xml
...
<bean id="sqlMapClient" class="org.springframework.orm.ibatis.SqlMapClientFactoryBean" singleton="true">
<property name="configLocation"><value>classpath:alfresco/extension/custom-activities-SqlMapConfig.xml</value></property>
<property name="dataSource" ref="iBatisDataSource"/>
</bean>
...
and:
- copy .../alfresco/extension/custom-activities-feed-context.xml.sample to .../alfresco/extension/custom-activities-feed-context.xml
... <properties resource="alfresco/extension/custom-hibernate-dialect.properties" /> ...
[edit] Custom Bean Configuration
The following settings are system-wide.
- The feed cleaner will, by default, purge generated feed entries that are more than 30 minutes old (feedCleaner -> maxAgeMins)
- The post cleaner will, by default, purge processed post entries that are more than 2 weeks old (postCleaner -> maxAgeMins)
- The activity service will, by default, retrieve upto 100 feeds entries (activityService -> maxFeedItems)
These defaults can be overridden by adding a alfresco/extension/custom-activities-context.xml file. For example:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC '-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN' 'http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd'>
<beans>
<bean id="activityService" class="org.alfresco.repo.activities.ActivityServiceImpl">
<property name="postDaoService" ref="postDaoService"/>
<property name="feedDaoService" ref="feedDaoService"/>
<property name="feedControlDaoService" ref="feedControlDaoService"/>
<property name="authorityService" ref="AuthorityService"/>
<property name="userNamesAreCaseSensitive" value="${user.name.caseSensitive}"/>
<property name="feedGenerator" ref="feedGenerator"/>
<property name="maxFeedItems" value="100"/>
</bean>
<!-- cleans out-of-date feed entries -->
<bean id="feedCleaner" class="org.alfresco.repo.activities.feed.cleanup.FeedCleaner">
<property name="feedDaoService" ref="feedDaoService"/>
<property name="maxAgeMins">
<value>20160</value> <!-- 20160 mins = 2 weeks -->
</property>
</bean>
<!-- cleans processed posts - max age can be small, unless required to be kept longer (for debugging) -->
<bean id="postCleaner" class="org.alfresco.repo.activities.post.cleanup.PostCleaner">
<property name="postDaoService" ref="postDaoService"/>
<property name="maxAgeMins">
<value>30</value> <!-- 30 minutes -->
</property>
</bean>
<beans>
[edit] Custom Properties
Ensure that the repository endpoint is correct for your installation, by default:
... # Repository endpoint - used by Activity Service repo.remote.endpoint.url=http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service ...
The default should be sufficient for the in-process activity service. You can override, by adding to:
- .../alfresco/extension/custom-repository.properties
[edit] Custom Scheduled Jobs
The activity service uses a number of scheduled jobs. The parameters to these jobs (such as repeatInterval) can be overridden by adding and/or updating the alfresco/extension/custom-scheduled-action-services-context.xml file. For example:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
