Publishing Metadata for IS Assets or TN Document Types at the Asset Level
When you publish metadata by selecting specific assets and then selecting Publish from the context menu, you publish metadata at the asset level. You can publish metadata for individual assets, such as a package, a folder, or an element to CentraSite. You can also publish metadata for TN document types collectively by selecting Trading Networks Document Types.
Note: You can only publish metadata for IS administrative assets by publishing at the Integration Server level.
To publish metadata for IS assets or TN document types at the asset level
1. In the Service Development perspective, in Package Navigator view, do the following:
To publish metadata for a specific asset such as a package, a folder, or an element, select the asset.
To publish metadata for TN document types, select
Trading Networks Document Types.
Note: When publishing metadata for TN document types, you must publish all available TN document types. That is, it is not possible to publish metadata for specific TN document types.
2. Right-click and select Publish.
Note: If a CentraSite connection is not yet configured, Designer displays the Preferences window and prompts you to configure a connection. For more information about configuring a connection, see the CentraSite Help.
3. In the Asset Publish dialog box, select the assets that you want to publish.
By default, all the assets you selected in the Package Navigator view will be marked for publishing to CentraSite. If you selected a package or folder in the Package Navigator view, Designer lists all the publishable assets in the folder or package.
To deselect any of the selected assets, clear the check box next to the asset.
To deselect all the selected assets, click
Deselect All.
To select an asset, select the check box next to the asset.
To select all the assets, click
Select All.
4. Click OK.
Designer publishes the metadata and displays the progress of the operation in the Metadata Publish Status Job dialog box. To close the Metadata Publish Status Job dialog box, click Cancel. Clicking Cancel does not cancel the operation.
After publishing metadata, Designer displays a summary of the publish operation in the Published Metadata dialog box. Click OK to close the dialog box.
