Deploying Action and Action Model Customizations
Validate customizations
The XML files actions.xml and actionmodels.xml configured in the com.ptc.netmarkets.util.misc.customActionModels property should be validated before the specified actions are applied to the UI.
To explicitly check for errors in the XML files, use the ant target actions.validate. For more information on targets, see External Targets.
If the build process identifies any errors in your definition, correct them and reapply your changes. The changes are not applied until the definition is error-free.
The validations that are performed when using the actions.validate target are listed below:
XML files configured in the property exist and are valid.
XML files are well formed and validated against their respective DTDs.
The position attributes for actions and submodels are specified appropriately in the actions.xml and actionmodels.xml files. For more information, see Positioning Attributes for Actions or Submodels.
Deploy customizations
To propagate action model changes, use the ant deploy target. This target also checks for errors in the XML files.
If the build process identifies any errors in your definition, correct them and reapply your changes. The changes are not applied until the definition is error-free.
