TitleWorldServer - is it possible to change the default "TM Information" WSXZ export configuration from "Content" to "Content and Link" or "Link Only"?
URL Name000020176
SummaryYes, this is possible by changing the default setting in exchange.properties and in the property "export.wsxz.tm.type.default". This article has more details.
Scope/EnvironmentWorldServer
Question
When exporting a project and Task from the Classic User Interface, there are three possible options for TM Information

Content
Content and Link
Link Only


Content is the default setting. Would it be possible to make one of the other two options the default? For instance, Content and Link?

Answer
Yes, this is possible by changing a property in exchange.properties. The default setting is usually commented out.
 
# Controls the TM export type selected by default on WSXZ export. Possible values: content, link, content_and_link. When not set the default is "content".
# export.wsxz.tm.type.default = content

Uncomment the property and set it to content and link, or leave it and add the uncommented line below, like this:
 
# Controls the TM export type selected by default on WSXZ export. Possible values: content, link, content_and_link. When not set the default is "content".
# export.wsxz.tm.type.default = content
export.wsxz.tm.type.default=content_and_link

Now: this change has an impact in exports done from the Classic User Interface only. It has also an impact on exports done by using the Translate/In Trados Studio button in the Classic UI. When using this button, WorldServer exports a package in the background and then starts Trados Studio to open the package automatically. The package exported with the button Translate/In Trados Studio will have the setting set in exchange.properties.

The configuration in exchange.properties has no impact on WSXZ package exported from the Modern User Interface where additional features like the Project Cached TM are added.
For more details about the export options in the Modern User Interface, please refer to this article:

WorldServer - why am I seeing the option 'Use cached Project TM' when exporting a project or Task to a Studio (WSXZ) package?
