Configuring storage for high-resolution adverts in Studio Server

Info: Performing the steps described in this article requires direct server access. Depending upon how your system is hosted and the level of access you have to that system, coordination may be required with your Partner or WoodWing Support team. For a full overview of the steps that need to be done by WoodWing and how to request them, see WoodWing Cloud - Change management.

In some scenarios, adverts may want to be stored on a drive outside of the Studio Server database while still being able to use them within the WoodWing workflow, for instance by placing them on a layout in InDesign.

This can be done by configuring the configserver.php file and the WWSettings.xml file of Studio Server.

Step 1. Configure the following options:

• File: configserver.php file (recommended: config_overrule.php file)
• Name of option: HighResStoreMac
• Area: SERVERFEATURES
• Possible values: path to the location where the files are stored
• Example:

new Feature('HighResStoreMac', '/Volumes/HighResFileStore/'),

• File: configserver.php file (recommended: config_overrule.php file)
• Name of option: HighResStoreWin
• Area: SERVERFEATURES
• Possible values: path to the location where the files are stored
• Example:

new Feature('HighResStoreWin', '//MY_SERVER/HighResFileStore/'),

Step 2. For each client application which needs to have access to the files, configure its WWSettings.xml file by adding the HighResStore feature and the path to the location where the files are stored:

Important: Make sure to validate the WWSettings.xml file for correct content. See Validating the WWSettings.xml file.

<SCEnt:HighResStoreMac>/Volumes/HighResFileStore/</SCEnt:HighResStoreMac>

<SCEnt:HighResStoreWin>//MY_SERVER/HighResFileStore/</SCEnt:HighResStoreWin>

<Settings xmlns:SCEnt="urn:Smart Connection Enterprise" xmlns:WoodWing="urn:WoodWing Software">
... 
<SCEnt:HighResStoreMac>/Volumes/HighResFileStore/</SCEnt:HighResStoreMac>
<SCEnt:HighResStoreWin>//MY_SERVER/HighResFileStore/</SCEnt:HighResStoreWin> 
... 
</Settings>

Additional information for Linux

If the Server runs Linux (with Samba for instance), the case-sensitive share '/Volumes/HighResStore' mounted by a Mac client becomes lower case '/Volumes/highresstore' (from the Mac's point of view). Make sure therefore that you configure the share with a lower case as well.
