Configure the storage duration for the My Outputs and My Kits/Imports pages

You can change how long an output remains on the My Outputs page and how long a localization kit or content import remains on the My Kits/Imports page. This is a global setting for all users.

About this task

The online storage of outputs, kits, and imports is meant to be a temporary storage of recently generated outputs. It is not a long term storage solution for these items.

Procedure

  1. On the server hosting IXIA CCMS, open the folder where CCMS Web is installed.
  2. Navigate to the apache-tomcat-x.x.xx\conf\ixiasoft-ccms folder.
  3. Edit the CMSServerService.config file.
  4. Look for <daysToKeep> in this section:
    <outputGenerator>
    <serverName>prod:1500</serverName>
    <sharedDirectory>e:/Ixiasoft/OutputGeneratorSharedDir</sharedDirectory>
    <daysToKeep>7</daysToKeep>
    <cleanTime>00:00:00</cleanTime>
    </outputGenerator>

    This single setting applies to both the My Outputs page and the My Kits/Imports page.

  5. Change the value of <daysToKeep> to the number of days you want.

    The default value for number of days to store outputs is 7.

    Note: Outputs, localization kits, and imports are flagged with the new value when they are generated. This means that any items that were already on the pages when the value was changed are not affected by the new value. They retain the same value that was in place when they were generated.
  6. Save CMSServerService.config.
  7. Restart the CCMS Web service.
