WQS wants to publish from Live site. How do I stop it?

[ugocei]

In a WCMQS installation (Enterprise 3.4.0) I started seeing the following error in the logs:

WARN  [PublishServiceImpl] Request has been made to publish from a site that has no target configured: workspace://SpacesStore/80f8b433-0440-44dd-a2db-302b251b288e

The NodeRef above refers to the "Quick Start Live" section. I don't know how a request to publish from Live was created, and obviously, since the Live site has no publish target, the above message is understandable.

What I would like to know is how to get rid of the publish request associated with the Live site, so that I stop seeing that message once a minute in the logs. I tried looking in the repository and the database, but didn't find anything related that I could think of deleting.

Thanks in Advance,

No, I'm afraid that is a case of the inappropriate log level being used at this point in the code. It should have been set to debug level.

I'll adjust this for a future release, but for the time being I suggest that you make an adjustment to the log4j properties so that that class no longer outputs "warn" level log entries:

log4j.logger.org.alfresco.module.org_alfresco_module_wcmquickstart.publish.PublishServiceImpl=error‍

Apologies for the inconvenience.

So it is normal that this is happening and you are saying that we should just ignore it?

[bremmington]

Yes, that's right. The publisher examines each website in turn and logs this warning for any that do not have a "target" website specified before moving on to the next one. It is absolutely safe to ignore.
