Server Configuration for Publishing
Overview
When Arbortext Editor transmits a publishing request to the Arbortext PE server, it only includes the document to be published and any graphic files that the document references. It does not include files describing the document type, the stylesheet to be used in publishing the document, or any custom code that might be needed.
The Publishing Configuration subsystem allows the Arbortext PE server to provide Arbortext Editor clients with a list of the document types, stylesheets, framesets, and other information stored on the Arbortext PE server. The server generates a Publishing Configuration document, and then the client retrieves this document and consults it to determine what is installed on the server.
There are actually four versions of the Publishing Configuration document:
• an XML document that lists everything available for publishing operations on the Arbortext PE server
• an expanded, detailed version of the XML document, which contains MD5 checksums for everything installed on the server. This version enables Arbortext Editor to perform an exhaustive comparison of its configuration with that of the Arbortext PE server.
• an HTML version of the XML list document, which you can read for debugging.
• a log of the scan that Arbortext PE server performs when it builds the Publishing Configuration document, which can also be used for debugging.
