Local transforms or Transform Service transforms can be enabled or disabled independently of each other. The Repository will try to transform content using the Transform Service via the T-Router if possible and fall back to direct Local Transforms. If you are using Share, Local Transforms are required, as they support both synchronous and asynchronous requests. Share makes use of both, so functionality such as preview will be unavailable if Local transforms are disabled. The Transform service only supports asynchronous requests.
The following sections will show how to create a direct Local transform pipeline, a Local transform failover or a Local
transform override, but remember that they will not be used if the Transform Service (ATS) with the T-Router is able to
do the transform and is enabled (i.e. in alfresco-global.properties):
transform.service.enabled=true
local.transform.service.enabled=true
Setting the enabled state to false will disable all the transforms performed by that particular service. It is
possible to disable individual Local Transforms by setting the corresponding T-Engine URL property
localTransform.<engineName>.url value to an empty string:
localTransform.helloworld.url=
