Publishing Metadata for Processes and CAF Applications
You can publish multiple assets at the same time. CTRL + click the assets, right-click any of them, and then click Publish.
To publish process or CAF application metadata to
CentraSite1. In the Solutions view, right-click an asset and click Publish.
2. In the Publish Assets dialog box, select the assets whose metadata you want to publish.
By default, the assets you selected will be marked for publishing to CentraSite. If you do not want metadata for an asset published, clear the check box next to the asset name.
3. Click OK.
Notes:
If you have the Registry Explorer view open, the assets you published should appear in it when the publish operation completes. You may have to refresh the view to see the newly published assets.
Published metadata may not be visible immediately in the Registry Explorer view or appear in searches performed immediately after publishing. Depending on the amount of metadata being published, and network and computer resources, there may be a slight lag. Generally, if you do not see published metadata within a few minutes, contact your
CentraSite system administrator to check on the operation's progress.
When a process is published, only the process is marked as
published. The various services, processes, documents, etc. used by the process are
referenced, not published. To search for, retract, or reuse a
CentraSite asset, it must first be published. However, note that an unpublished asset can exist in the
CentraSite registry as a reference.
For example, If you publish a process (procA) and then use it in a second process (procB) but you do not publish the second process (procB), CentraSite contains one process (procA) with no references to it. You can retract that process (procA), because it is published, and it will be removed from the CentraSite registry completely. CentraSite does not keep track of whether or not an asset has been used outside of CentraSite; CentraSite only knows what has been published.
