Considerations for Publishing and Retracting Metadata
When you publish or retract metadata for IS assets, IS administrative assets, and TN document types, keep the following points in mind:
*You must configure the CentraSite URL and credentials in the Window > Preferences page in Designer. Designer uses these credentials and URL to connect to CentraSite to publish or retract metadata.
*Integration Server must be able to resolve and access the host name defined in the CentraSite connection configuration in Designer.
*When you publish or retract metadata at the Integration Server level, Designer publishes or retracts packages as well as administrative assets. When you publish or retract metadata at the asset level, Designer publishes or retracts metadata for the selected asset only. The selected asset could be a single asset, such as a document type, or a container, such as a folder or a package.
*When publishing metadata for TN document types, you publish metadata for all TN document types on the Integration Server. When retracting metadata for TN document types, you retract metadata for all published TN document types. That is, it is not possible to publish or retract metadata for specific TN document types.
*After Designer starts a metadata operation, it executes to completion. You cannot cancel the operation.
*Only one metadata operation can run at a time.
*If you select an Integration Server for publishing or retracting metadata, Designer lists the packages and administrative assets, if any, rather than individual publishable assets. If you select a folder or package for publishing or retracting metadata, Designer lists all the publishable or retractable assets in that folder or package.
*If a folder or package contains assets that cannot be published or retracted, Designer does not list those assets in the Publish Metadata and Retract Metadata dialog boxes.
*If an asset cannot be published or retracted, the Publish and Retract commands appear but are disabled in the context menu.
*If CentraSite plug-ins are not installed in Designer, the Publish and Retract commands will not appear in the context menu.
