About Synchronizing Publishable Document Types
When you synchronize document types, you make sure that a publishable document type matches its associated provider definition. You will need to synchronize document types when:
You make changes to the publishable document type, including changes to the messaging properties of the publishable document type.
You made a document type publishable when
Integration Server was not connected to the messaging provider (
Broker or
Universal Messaging).
You install packages containing publishable document types on
Integration Server.
You make changes to the
Broker document type. (This is usually the result of a developer on another
Integration Server updating that server’s copy of the publishable document type and pushing the change to the
Broker document type.)
You change the client group for the
Broker messaging connection alias.
When using Broker as the messaging provider, document type synchronization makes it possible to propagate changes to a publishable document type across multiple Integration Servers by doing the following:
1. Make changes to the publishable document type on one Integration Server.
2. Push those changes to Broker, which updates the Broker document type associated with the publishable document type.
3. Update the publishable document type on another Integration Server by pulling the changes from the Broker.
When using Universal Messaging as the messaging provider, the work flow for propagating publishable document type changes to other Integration Servers is as follows:
1. Make changes to the publishable document type on one Integration Server.
2. Push those changes to Universal Messaging, which updates the Universal Messaging channel associated with the publishable document type.
3. Use package replication or webMethods Deployer to update another Integration Server with the modified publishable document type.
Note:
Integration Server can only push publishable document type changes to the provider definition on Universal Messaging. Integration Server cannot pull changes made to the provider definition on Universal Messaging.
