Distribution Target Attributes
A distribution target has several attributes whose values determine what data constitutes the ESI response message. For example, the attribute Publish Alternates When Publishing a Part when set to Yes ensures that when generating the response message for the distribution target the alternate parts that have been associated with the part being published are also processed.
For a list of distribution target attributes that are relevant for a given business object type and their descriptions, see the following sections.
* 
There are no distribution target attributes that are specific to a promotion request. However, when publishing a given business object (say, a BOM) via a promotion request, distribution target attributes that are relevant for that object type (BOM) are used.
In order for a promotion request to be released as a primary business object, the Windchill ESI preference Publish Promotion Requests must have a value of Yes.
