Saving a DITA Topic to Be Used as a PTC Server Template
The PTC サーバー接続 enables you to save a DITA topic template document directly to a PTC server where it can be used as the source for a dynamic document template. This enables you to retain the DITA feature that automatically sets the topic ID when the template is first saved in Arbortext Editor. Once the template document is uploaded to the PTC Server, you can use the PTC Server HTML interface to set the template as a dynamic document template.
Once the dynamic document template is set on a PTC Server that has the Windchill Service Information Manager solution installed, you can then use the PTC サーバー接続 to connect to that PTC Server and you will see a category in the Arbortext EditorNew Document dialog box for the dynamic document templates stored on the PTC Server. The name of the category will be Context [PTC Server]. Context is the name of the PTC Server context in which you are working. PTC Server is the name of the PTC Server to which you are connected. The dynamic document templates defined in that context on the server appear in the Type option when you select the PTC Server category.
If desired, you can use the document-type-specific burst configuration file to either upload the source template file as a new dynamic document object subtype or to assign values to PTC Server attributes for the dynamic document. Use the dmsobjtype element in the document-type-specific burst configuration file to define a new dynamic document subtype for the template. Use the dmsmetadata element in the document-type-specific burst configuration file to assign values to PTC Server attributes for the uploaded dynamic document.
