Page Retry Configuration
Introduction
Arbortext Layout Developer allows page retries from the page end formatting event starting from 11.0 M050 as fContent.events that refers to an fPublishEvents object. The page end event (fPublishEvents.formatPageEnd) allows users to instruct ALD to reformat the current page. The number of retries was limited to 10 to ensure ALD does not get stuck retrying a page forever. However, in this release the user can set their own retry limit to allow more complex rules to be applied.
Setting Page End Event Retry Limit
The page end event retry limit is a document preference. It can be found in the Document Configuration dialog on the ‘Speed Options’ category.
Alternatively, the limit can be specified via the fTemplatePreferencesFormatting object’s pageEventRetryLimit property. This can be accessed via template.preferences.formatting.pageEventRetryLimit.
| Please be careful using this property as it might allow the formatting process to loop for a long time, thereby slowing the template performance down. Please only use values larger than 10 if you really need to and are confident a sensible exit point can be reached quickly or you are comfortable with the performance degradation. |
