Disabling managed pages | HCL Digital Experience
Disable support for managed pages by running the disable-managed-pages configuration task.
About this task
Disabling managed pages has the following effects:
- By default, each virtual portal has its own specific workspace
where content is stored. When you disable managed pages, only a single
workspace for the default virtual portal is available. The workspaces
of other virtual portals are still there, but you can no longer access
them. Any system associations between pages in those virtual portals
and their respective Portal Site libraries no longer work. Important: To preserve content in the other virtual portals, you must import or syndicate the libraries into the default virtual portal before disabling managed pages.
- You can still access the Portal Site library for the default virtual portal, but the library is no longer automatically synchronized with the page structure.
- Pages are no longer managed in HCL Web Content Manager, with the following
implications:
- No page drafts can be created.
- No new versions of pages can be created.
- Pages are no longer syndicated.
- Access control changes that you perform in the portal interface are no longer applied to the portal page site area.
- If you delete a page from the portal interface, the corresponding portal page site area is not deleted.
- If you create a page with either the Basic or Articles page template, the page has no web content association. This missing association can cause errors if you attempt to add content from the Create Content tab of the site toolbar. To use the sample web content items when managed pages are disabled, create a web content association on the page before attempting to add content.
- Having managed pages enabled is a mandatory requirement to have vanity URLs enabled. Therefore, if you have vanity URLs enabled and disable managed pages, vanity URLs are also disabled.
