Client Use of Publishing Configuration
A Arbortext Editor client retrieves the Publishing Configuration document from the Arbortext PE server each time it enables publishing against an Arbortext PE server. under the following circumstances:
when Arbortext Editor starts and Arbortext Publishing Engine publishing was enabled during its last session
When the Use Publishing Engine preference is changed from cleared to checked and the URL preference value is set to a valid URL of an Arbortext PE server (Tools > Preferences > Publishing Engine)
When the URL preference value is changed to a valid URL of a different Arbortext PE server while the Use Publishing Engine box is checked (also in Tools > Preferences > Publishing Engine)
when the set command option peservices is changed to on and peserverurl is set to a valid URL of an Arbortext PE server
when the set command option peserverurl changes to the valid URL of a different Arbortext PE server while the set option peservices is set to on
A good way to force Arbortext Editor to again retrieve the Publishing Configuration document from the Arbortext PE server is to clear the Use Publishing Engine check box and then reopen Preferences > Publishing Engine and check the box.
You can display the Arbortext Editor version of the Publishing Configuration document by selecting Help > About Arbortext Editor > PE Configuration. Either the Publishing Configuration document will be displayed, or an error dialog box will appear explaining why Arbortext Editor is unable to communicate with the Arbortext PE server.
