Adding Documents to a PTC Server
It is likely that you have existing documents that you would like to add to a PTC Server. You can add documents to a PTC Server using any of the following methods:
• Add single documents to a PTC Server using the Arbortext Editor.
A procedure for this process appears later in this section.
• Add a single document to a PTC Server using the burstDocument method of the CMSSession interface.
See the Programmer's Reference for more information about the CMS interfaces.
• Add a single document to a PTC Server using the Arbortext Command Language (ACL) sess_doc_burst() function.
• Add several documents to a PTC Server using the ACL burst_multiple() function.
Use the following procedure to add a single document to a PTC Server:
1. Start Arbortext Editor and open the desired document.
2. Connect to the PTC Server using the PTC Server connection.
3. Choose > .
If your system administrator has set the burst configuration to enable users to specify where documents are stored in the PTC Server, Arbortext Editor opens the Save As Properties dialog box. Otherwise, the document is stored in the PTC Server at the location specified by the burst configuration.
This dialog box also enables you to set a baseline for the new PTC Server object or objects. If your administrator has set the burst configuration to enable users to set a baseline but has not enabled users to specify where to save documents, then the Save As Properties dialog box opens with just the baseline options displayed.
Use the Save As Properties dialog box to specify a name for the object and the folder where you would like to store the new object. If you want to edit the object immediately after saving it to the PTC Server, check Keep objects checked out. If you want to remove the objects you are adding to the server from your workspace, check Remove From Workspace. Depending on the setting of the RemoveObjectFromWorkspaceAfterCheckIn parameter in the userprefs.xml configuration file, this option might be enabled by default. Enter the desired information and click the OK button.
If your system administrator has configured document bursting for your use, Arbortext Editor automatically bursts the document into the required objects.

Because objects created with > are new objects, they are created with no existing Arbortext Editor change tracking history. Any existing change tracking markup in the document is removed when it is saved as a PTC Server object. All changes are retained.

4. Close the document.
When document bursting is configured, objects are saved to the PTC Server with the following location precedence:
• If user override is enabled in the burst configuration, the objects are saved in the location you specify.
• If user override is not enabled in the burst configuration, the objects are saved according to the defined document-type-specific location rules.
• If no such rules apply, the objects are saved to the location specified by dmslocation in the atidefaults.bcf file.
• If the atidefaults.bcf file does not specify a default location, document bursting fails.
