Connecting to Arbortext Publishing Engine
General Setup and Configuration
Arbortext Publishing Engine must be installed on a supported Windows server. Instructions for installing and configuring Arbortext Publishing Engine are in the Installing Arbortext Publishing Engine and Configuring Arbortext Publishing Engine guides, part of the Arbortext Publishing Engine Help Center documentation.
PTC Server connection Configuration
The PTC Server connection to Windchill must be configured on the Arbortext Publishing Engine server. Instructions for setting up the PTC Server connection are in the Arbortext Content Management Guide, part of the Arbortext Publishing Engine Help Center documentation.
Publishing Processing Document Types
There are two types of document types that handle publishing processing on the Arbortext Publishing Engine server. One manages the transformation of the incoming generalized XML markup and content. Another manages the publishing of the transformed document into the specified output. Arbortext Publishing Engine offers both of these document types as part of its distribution.
• The Arbortext Publishing Engine server must have the Service application com.ptc.arbortext.service installed and enabled. By default, it’s located in the Arbortext Publishing Engine application directory. The Service application manages the initial transformation of the input XML document being prepared for publishing.
• The Arbortext Publishing Engine server must have a document type installed and enabled for handling the publishing output. By default, a sample is located in the Arbortext Publishing Engine application directory. The Technical Information DITA document type application com.ptc.arbortext.techinfo is a working sample of such a document type that is distributed with Arbortext Publishing Engine.
Improving Publishing Large Jobs
Setting a larger timeout value for WVS improves performance for publishing large jobs.
1. Open the site.xconf file:
WT-HOME/site.xconf
2. Add the following entry:
<Property name=" publish.cadtimeout.component.SIS "
overridable="true" targetFile="codebase/WEB-INF/conf/wvs.properties"
value="seconds"/>
For example, setting this value to 7200 provides a two hour time period for publishing jobs to complete.
3. Open a Windchill shell and enter the following to propagate the new property value to Windchill:
xconfmanager -pF
4. Then stop and restart Windchill:
windchill stop
windchill start
