Overview
When Arbortext Editor transmits a publishing request to the Serveur Arbortext PE, 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 Serveur Arbortext PE to provide Arbortext Editor clients with a list of the document types, stylesheets, framesets, and other information stored on the Serveur Arbortext PE. 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 Serveur Arbortext PE
• 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 Serveur Arbortext PE.
• an HTML version of the XML list document, which you can read for debugging.
• a log of the scan that Serveur Arbortext PE performs when it builds the Publishing Configuration document, which can also be used for debugging.
