Running a script file from a command line You can run a script file to publish multiple consumer applications to Mediator in a single step.
Publishing Consumer Applications from the API Details Page
Note that the CentraSite Business UI does not have a dedicated user interface available to publish consumer applications to Mediator. Instead, deploys the consumer applications that are associated to an API when that particular API is published to the Mediator.
You use this procedure to publish the consumer applications associated with an API using its Publish action.
To publish consumer applications
1. In CentraSite Business UI, display the details page for the application asset.
2. In the action bar for the asset, click Publish 
. This opens the Publish API dialog. 3. From the Available Targets list, choose one or more targets in which you want to publish the consumer applications.
Or: If you want to publish the consumer applications across all the targets, select the
All Targets checkbox.
When attempting to publish the consumer applications, without selecting at least on target, a warning popup box appears.
4. In the Advanced Settings node, select the Expose to Consumers checkbox. This allows unauthorized consumers (guests) to search and access the consumer applications.
5. Click Publish.
Or: If at any time you wish to terminate this operation, click
Cancel.
6. A Publish Progress popup will display the progress state of publishing the consumer applications to the Mediator.
If the publish process failed, identify and correct the error and then try publishing the consumer applications again.
