Examples of Publish Rules XML Files
This section contains complete Publish Rules XML file examples. A sample Publish Rules XML file, PublishRules.xml, can be found in the <Windchill>/codebase/com/ptc/wvs/server/xml directory.
Simple Arbortext Publishing
This example publishes all Arbortext authored EPMDocuments when they are checked in, when a user creates a representation via the Create Representation Wizard, or when the EPMDocument is included in scheduled publishing. A PDF file is created by the Worker and stored as part of the Representation. The DefaultPostPublishDelegate is invoked when the Worker completes the creation or iteration of a WTDocument whose content is the PDF created by the Worker.
 |
• The use of Substitution Keys to define the Name of the WTDocument that is created/iterated.
• Several <publish> elements make use of the same <param-set>.

Creating Arbortext Documents from CAD Documents
This example publishes Creo Parametric and SolidWorks authored EPMDocuments. If the EPMDocument has a global attribute named PUBLISH TO ARBORTEXT, or if a user manually invokes Post Publishing on an existing Representation, the EPMPostPublishDelegate is invoked to create/iterate an Arbortext authored Dynamic Document.
|
|
• Multiple Authoring Applications are making use of a single <param-set>.
• All Creo Parametric and SOLIDWORKS authored EPMDocuments is published, but the EPMPostPublishDelegate is only invoked for those that have the specified global attribute (its value is not considered).
• The EPMPostPublishDelegate can be invoked by the user for any Representation previously published by these Authoring Applications.

Defining Publish Rules for VCS Publishing for Output Formats like Arbortext
A param-set needs to be defined in the publishing rules and this param-set needs to be specified for all output formats for which VCS publishing is to be used. Following is an example of a param-set added to the SamplePublishingRules.xml file located at <WT_HOME>.
To enable VCS publishing, update the publishing rules as follows:
1. Define a VCS param-set in the publishing rules for Arbortext. An example of param-set for VCS is as follows:
\codebase\com\ptc\arbortext\windchill\worker
Here the parameters that were earlier passed in the worker configuration files are now included in the param-set.
2. Specify this param-set for publishing rules of specific output formats to be published using VCS.
For example:
<publish on=“create-representation” output=“PDF” param-set= “Publish Arbortext DynamicDocument VCS”/>
This publishing rule will create representation in PDF output using VCS publishing.
3. Upload this updated file for Publishing Rules in Windchill Visualization Configuration Administration.
