C080102 - Custom properties added to catalogs are not displayed

Products:

Express Server 6

Summary:

Besides the default properties Name and Description, you can add custom properties to catalogs using the Express Server Management Console. Added properties other than Name and Description are not returned by the server (and will not show up when you bring up the Catalog Properties dialog again in the console) until the appropriate elements are edited in the configuration file (cat-cfg.xml) for that Express Server.

Solution:

To edit the cat-props Property:

    1. Locate your Express Server’s catalog configuration file (cat-cfg.xml). By default it is located in “<install drive>LizardTechExpressServer6.0ImageServeretc”.
    2. Under the Globals element, add comma-delimited custom property names to the existing Name and Description properties that are returned by default (if present on a catalog), as shown in the example below.

 

Code:
<Globals>
…
<Property name=”cat-props” value=”Name,Description,customProperty1,customProperty2″/>
…
</Globals>

Status:

This is a known issue that will be addressed in a future release.

Reference Number:
