The error percent threshold for a given type when deleting a library. This value is specified as an integer from 0 to 100. If the threshold level is reached for any type, the library deletion task is stopped.

Note: If the threshold is set to 100, the task ignores the error rate. If the threshold is set to an unsupported value, such as a value less than 0 or greater than 100, the threshold is set to the default value of 40 percent.

Default value: 40

deployment.subscriberOnly

Indicates whether this instance of Web Content Manager will only be subscribed to by other servers and will never itself syndicate content to other servers.

This improves performance and is recommended for production machines that are subscribe-only servers.

Default value: false

deployment.itemChangedTaskDelay

Specifies the number of seconds to use as the syndication interval, with a minimum of 0 seconds and a maximum of 65536 seconds. A value of 0 will prevent syndication from occurring. The shorter the interval, the sooner an update can be sent, but because frequent syndication can affect performance on servers with large amounts of content, a longer interval might be required.

Default value: 30

wcm.transaction.timeout

Web Content Manager uses a default transaction timeout of 120 seconds even when the value is changed in the server. This setting was added in CF09.

Default value: 120
