Updating Rational Publishing Engine files after data source server changes
If you make changes to the server that hosts your data
source, you must update the Rational® Publishing Engine document
specifications and, possibly, templates with the new information.
These changes might include renaming a server or changing a port number,
for example.
Before you begin
For more information on planning your template, see Designing document templates. For more information on variables, see Defining and assigning variables.
About this task
Updating document specifications
In the document specifications, you must reconfigure the
data sources after you make changes to the data source servers.
Procedure
- Open the document specification in the Launcher.
- In the Document specification view, expand .
- Right-click the data source.
- Click Configure data source.
- Enter URL to the data source schema.
- Repeat for any other data sources in the Document specification view that must be updated.
- Save the changes.
Updating templates
In templates, if you assigned external variables to an
element or hardcoded data references with a data source URL, you must
update the data source paths in those elements and references. If
possible, change variables or hardcoded references so they are not
dependant on an artifact in a specific location.
