Resource Browser Examples¶

Uploading an icon to a styles folder¶

To upload a file to the global styles folder:

1. Use Resource Browser to select / ‣ styles in the resource tree.

   

2. Click Upload button to open Upload a Resource dialog.

3. Use Browse to select a file from the local file system.

   

4. Press OK to upload the file.

   

Creating a control-flow configuration file¶

Many extensions, such as Control flow module, are managed using a configuration file.

To create a controlflow.properties file:

1. Use Resource Browser to select the root / folder in the resource tree.

   This can be tricky as the label is not very long.

   

2. Click New resource button to open Edit a Resource dialog.

   • Resource: controlflow.properties

   • Content: file contents

     # if a request waits in queue for more than 60 seconds it's not worth
     # executing, the client will  likely have given up by then
     timeout=60
     
     # don't allow the execution of more than 100 requests total in parallel
     ows.global=100
     
     # don't allow more than 10 GetMap in parallel
     ows.wms.getmap=10
     
     # don't allow more than 4 outputs with Excel output as it's memory bound
     ows.wfs.getfeature.application/msexcel=4
     
     # don't allow a single user to perform more than 6 requests in parallel
     # (6 being the Firefox default concurrency level at the time of writing)
     user=6
     
     # don't allow the execution of more than 16 tile requests in parallel
     # (assuming a server with 4 cores, GWC empirical tests show that throughput
     # peaks up at 4 x number of cores. Adjust as appropriate to your system)
     ows.gwc=16
     

3. Press OK to create the resource.
