Automating Incremental Publishing
Service Publishing allows you to automate the process of incremental publishing for a service structure or service product hierarchy.
A service structure or service product hierarchy can undergo many changes during its lifecycle. Those changes can be tracked and incrementally published using automated publishing process.
Automated incremental publishing is executed in two basic steps.
1. A scheduled job identifies and collects the updates in the structure by tracking the xml bundle representations of the respective structures.
2. An incremental publishing job is triggered based on the values that are specified while scheduling the job.
You can view the status of the incremental publishing job in the WVS Job Monitor.
Configuring SIS Publishing for Automation
To configure SIS publishing for automation, follow these steps:
1. Add the following elements in your custom.site.xconf file. This ensures the scautomation.wt.properties.xconf configuration is included.
<ConfigurationRef xlink:href="codebase/com/ptc/arbortext/windchill/publisher/automation/scautomation.xconf"/>
2. In the same custom.site.xconf file, add or update these properties:
<property name="enableAutomatedRepublishTracking" value="true"/>
<property name="lcStatesForAutoPublish" value="RELEASED"/>
<property name="lcStatesForAutoPublish" value="RELEASED"/>
You can replace RELEASED with a comma-separated list of lifecycle states as needed.
3. Save your updated custom.site.xconf file and use Code and Configuration Deployment (CCD) to propagate these changes.
For information on scheduling a job, see WVS Job Scheduler Administration.
