Publishing Metadata for IS Assets or TN Document Types at the Integration Server Level

When you publish metadata by selecting the Integration Server and then selecting Publish from the context menu, you publish metadata at the Integration Server level. You can publish packages, IS administrative assets, and TN document types when publishing at the Integration Server level.

Before you publish metadata for IS or TN assets, do the following:

Make sure the Reuse property for the asset is set to the appropriate value. The Reuse property controls whether or not a published IS asset can be reused in BPM processes or CAF projects. .

Note: The Reuse property applies only to the namespace elements in Integration Server.

Review the information related to publishing assets mentioned in Usage Notes for IS Assets.
