Infrastructure settings: Configure the export/import, staging, and site template propagation processes as well as the session timeout portal property.

Export/Import

The Export/Import category contains settings that specify what is included and replicated by default and which content types are validated during the Import/Export process.

Configuration Purpose
Include All Asset Links If checked, all site’s asset links (within the given date range) are included. Uncheck to include only those asset links which are connected to the content.
Include Thumbnails And Previews During Staging If checked, the generated previews and thumbnails are included during the staging process.
Replicate Individual Deletions by Default If checked, the delete operations performed for content types are always replicated in the target site by default.
Publish Permissions by Default If checked, the permissions assigned for the exported pages and individual portlet windows are always included by default.
Validate File Entries If checked, publishing or importing some types of text content causes Liferay DXP to check the content for links to documents and ensure that each link points to a valid document.
Validate Journal Feed References If checked, publishing or importing some types of text content causes Liferay DXP to check the content for references to web content feeds, and ensure that each reference points to a valid feed.
Validate Layout References If checked, publishing or importing some types of text content triggers validation of links that reference a Liferay DXP virtual host, ensuring that each link points to a valid page within the portal. Uncheck this if your virtual host has pages outside of Liferay DXP.
Validate Missing References If checked, publishing or importing triggers a check for missing references. If unchecked, missing reference validation is skipped and references without existing targets can be published or imported to the target site.
Show Advanced Staging Configuration by Default If checked, the advanced publication configuration screen will be displayed by default when publishing pages.

Site Template Propagation

The Site Templates category contains settings that specify when automatic propagation is triggered for site templates.

Configuration Purpose
Trigger Propagation If checked, enabling propagation in a template also triggers propagation for all connected sites simultaneously. If unchecked, changes are propagated to sites individually when they are first visited by a user.
Cancel Old Site Propagation Import Tasks If checked, old site template propagation import tasks are canceled when new ones are scheduled for the same site.

Staging

The Staging category contains settings that specify the default behavior of staging actions, such as publishing parent pages and displayed content, and whether to delete temporary LAR files during the Import/Export process.

Configuration Purpose
Publish Parent Pages by Default If checked, parent pages are always published to live.
Publish Displayed Content by Default If checked, the displayed content is published to Live for Dynamic Data Lists Display, Form, Web Content Display and Wiki Display. These widgets publish the displayed content to Live independently of the Publish Process settings.
Delete temporary LAR during a failed staging publication process. Uncheck to avoid deleting the temporary LAR during a failed staging publication process. In remote staging contexts, this only applies to the staging environment.
Delete temporary LAR during a successful staging publication process. Uncheck to avoid deleting the temporary LAR during a successful staging publication process. In remote staging contexts, this only applies to the staging environment.
Use the virtual host of the remote site. The remote environment’s virtual host is used when accessing the remote live site from the staged site.

Session Timeout

Liferay DXP 2024.Q1+/Portal 7.4 GA112+

The Session Timeout category contains settings that specify session.timeout.auto.extend and session.timeout.auto.extend.offset portal properties via UI without altering the portal-ext.properties file.

Note

The session.timeout.auto.extend and session.timeout.auto.extend.offset properties are no longer available in portal-ext.properties.

Configuration Purpose
Auto Extend If checked, automatically extends the session without prompting the user, keeping the session open as long as the user’s browser is open with a loaded page.
Auto Extend Offset When Auto Extend is enabled, set the number of seconds between when the extend process is initiated and the actual session expiration.
