Set up Apache ActiveMQ to enable message queuing. If you already have an ActiveMQ instance connected to Content Services, you don’t need to perform these step.

If you don’t already have an ActiveMQ instance, install ActiveMQ and follow the steps below. For more information on installing ActiveMQ, see ActiveMQ Classic on the Apache ActiveMQ site: https://activemq.apache.org/.

  1. Stop the server.
  2. Define the location of ActiveMQ in your alfresco-global.properties file: 
     messaging.broker.url=failover:(tcp://server:61616)?timeout=3000

    where server is the host name of the server where ActiveMQ is installed.

    When you set up ActiveMQ, the Content Services events and messaging subsystems are set to start up automatically.

    Any changes to alfresco-global.properties require you to restart Content Services to apply the changes.
