Amending alfresco-global.properties File

paul_bootes — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 08:38:20 GMT

I am trying to amend the alfresco-global.properties to change notification.email.siteinvite=false to "true". when I try to save my changes I receive an 'Access Denied' message. Is this something I should be able to ask my IT colleague to allow me access to save it?Many thanks,Paul

Hi,
every modification to alfresco-global.properties must be done when Alfresco is down, since the file is loaded once during start-up.
You're likely to get this error from Tomcat which put a lock on that file.

Many thanks, I was able to create a copy of alfresco-global.properties and rename it to this.

I have set notification.email.siteinvite=true but users are not getting emails when a workflow is started. does anyone know what else I need to do to enable this to happen?

I have also set system.workflow.engine.jbpm.enabled=true and restarted the services but nothing seems to have changed?
