PK75187: UTILITY TO FIND LARGE RESOURCE FILES (IMAGES AND OTHER FILES) STORED IN WCM

 

APAR status

  • Closed as new function.

Error description

  • Content Authors can upload large resources into Image, File and
Rich Text Components which creates a performance problem as it
is slow for viewers to download the items.
  There is no fast tool to determine where the large resources
exist on the system
The API could be used to determine the size of images for Image
and File Components however this would be quite slow as it will
need to retrieve each item separately. There is no API tool to
find the size of embedded images in Rich Text fields.

Local fix

  • A new module is created called FindLargeResourcesModule. This
will find all Image File and Rich Text Component's resources
that are greater then a specified minimum size. If no size is
specified, it will look by default for resources greater then 1
Megabyte. For Rich Text Components, it will not find resources <
2 Megabytes. The url parameter for the minimum size to check is
"min_size" and the value is a number in bytes.

The result will output each resource items name, path, type and
resource size.

The following lines should be added to the
WCMConfigService.properties file in [Portal
directory]/wcm/shared/app/config/wcmservices

connect.businesslogic.module.findlargeresources.class=com.ibm.wo
rkplace.wcm.services.statistics.FindLargeResourcesModule
connect.businesslogic.module.findlargeresources.remoteaccess=tru
e
connect.businesslogic.module.findlargeresources.autoload=false

and append findlargeresources to this key:
'connect.businesslogic.module'
i.e.
connect.businesslogic.module=template,multi_template,web,mail,fo
rm,aggregator,default,ajpe,federatedproxy,ajpecatselect,memberfi
