Creating custom error text
To define the text that should be sent in an e-mail message when an error occurs:
1
Create a unique custom error code for the target QuarkXPress Server error (as described
in "Creating a custom error code").
2
On the computer where the QuarkXPress Server Manager server application is running,
open the following file in a text-editing application:
[application folder]\server\conf\ManagerErrorCodeMessage.properties
3
Create a new line containing the unique custom error code you defined in step 2.
Follow the custom error code with a tab and then enter the custom text to be returned
for that error.
4
Save and close the file.
This change will not take effect until you quit and restart the QuarkXPress Server
Manager server application.
Sending requests from a browser
Like QuarkXPress Server, QuarkXPress Server Manager lets you send requests from a
Web browser. This capability helps to ensure that you need to make only minimal
changes when you update an application so that it sends requests to a
QuarkXPress Server Manager server instead of a QuarkXPress Server instance.
Assume that a QuarkXPress Server instance expects requests in the following format:
http://[QXPServer]:[port]/[request]?[request_parameters]
If this is the case, a QuarkXPress Server Manager server will expect requests in the
following format:
http://[QXPSManagerServer]:[port]/qxpsm/request/[request]?[request_parameters]
In other words, a QuarkXPress Server Manager server accepts requests in a format that
is similar to the request format used with a QuarkXPress Server instance. That means
you can get the benefits of QuarkXPress Server Manager without having to completely
rewrite your applications.
Additional parameters
In addition to request-specific parameters, QuarkXPress Server Manager accepts the
following request parameters. These parameters can be submitted in the standard
QuarkXPress Server GET format joined by an ampersand (&) with the other parameters
in the body of the request.
qxpsm_bypassfileinfo: When QuarkXPress Server Manager receives a request, it
executes a fileinfo request on the document to get the document's size and
last-modified date and time. These values are used for load balancing and for
determining whether to serve the document from the cache. If the value of this
parameter is set to true, the fileinfo request is not made, file size is considered to
be zero for load-balancing purposes, and the document in the cache is considered to
have changed.
