File Browser

The File Browser enables Intershop Commerce Management directory browsing and zip-compressed download from Intershop System Management. This tool enables administrators to quickly browse the Intershop Commerce Management directories without requiring access to the file system as only the Intershop System Management login is required. With this tool, it is possible to view and download files from any server within an Intershop Commerce Management cluster.

Configuring Visibility of Files and Directories

By default, all directories are hidden. System folders are made available by configuring the property file located at <IS_SHARE>/system/config/apps/intershop.enfinity.SMC/filebrowser.properties. Here you can specify directories and subdirectories for viewing and downloading by using the IS path alias (such as ${IS_SHARE};${IS_HOME}) or without the alias (such as c:/share/**** or /var/***), depending on your operating system. To set a directory to "browsable" (viewable), edit the property file as follows:

filebrowser.dir.browsable=${IS_SHARE}/system/log;${IS_HOME}/webadapter/log;/var/log
Note:
All subdirectories within a "browsable" directory are automatically viewable.

The example above sets three log directories as viewable by the file browser. These are separated by a semi-colon (;). Conversely you can specify a set of files or subdirectories as hidden with a regular expression, even if the directory is viewable. To hide a file within the directories defined above, edit the property file as follows:

filebrowser.files.hidden.regexp=.*zip

The example above prevents all files ending with "zip" from being displayed in the file browser.

Note:
Changes to the visibility settings require a server restart to take effect.

Configuring Download Limits

To prevent resource-intensive operations, a configurable limit for the maximum file size of zip downloads is available.

Note:
This feature is available from Intershop Commerce Management 13.0.0.

To adjust this limit:

  1. Open the file filebrowser.properties located at: icm-as\business\a_sldsystem\smc\src\main\resources\resources\smc\config\filebrowser.properties.
  2. Add or modify the following property to set the maximum file size (in MB): filebrowser.max.zip.size.
    The default value is 10240, which corresponds to 10,240 MB (10 GB).
  3. Save the file.
Note:
Changes to the download limit require a server restart to take effect.
If a user attempts to download files that exceed the configured limit, the process is aborted, and an error message is displayed. In this case, no files are downloaded.
