For the Repository to talk to a T-Engine directly, it must know the engine's URL. The URL can be added as an Alfresco global property (i.e. in alfresco-global.properties), or more simply as a Java system property. JAVA_OPTS may be used to set this if starting the repository with Docker:

localTransform.<engineName>.url=

The <engineName> is a unique name of the T-Engine. For example, localTransform.helloworld.url. Typically, a T-Engine contains a single transform or an associated group of transforms. Having set the URL to a T-Engine, the Repository will update its configuration by requesting the T-Engine configuration on a periodical basis. It is requested more frequently on start up or if a communication or configuration problem has occurred, and less frequently otherwise:

local.transform.service.cronExpression=4 30 0/1 * * ?
local.transform.service.initialAndOnError.cronExpression=0/10 * * * * ?
