The incremental export is a method used to automatically synchronize a web server, i.e. to update the content available for the website visitors. You need to run the Template Engine on your live server system if you want to make use of this method, unless you are using the Rails Connector for CMS Fiona to deliver your content.
The Content Management Server continually transfers updated versions to the Template Engine via the XML interface and instructs it in regular, configurable intervals to export and activate them. Updated data as well as instructions are transferred from the Content Management Server to the Template Engine in the form of so called update records.
The configuration values responsible for the incremental export can
be defined by means of the
export
system configuration entry. In particular, the
incrementalUpdate.isActive
value lets you control the
action the Content Manager takes when versions or other data like
channels are updated. If isActive
is true
,
all changes are transferred to the Template Engine. If
isActive
has the value false
, changes to
files will not be recorded.
In order to use the incrExport
commands in the Tcl
interface, you need to be a superuser or have the
permissionGlobalExport
permission.
