Creating/Updating Publication Resources

graphics/resource-deployment.png

Information about the structure of a publication is supplied to the Content Engine in the form of files called publication resources (see The Publication Resources). If you change any of these resources (or create a new set of resources defining a new publication), then in order to update/create your publication, you must:

  1. Start a browser and visit the Escenic Web Administration interface. This usually has the URL http://server-name:port/escenic-admin where port is the port number the server is listening on.

  2. Upload the resources using the New pubs option if you are creating a new publication or List pubs > Update resources if you are updating an existing publication.

Instead of uploading the resources individually in this way, you can instead create a WAR file containing all your changes and upload the WAR file in the same way. You can use the same WAR file that you use for deployment for this purpose, and this is often the most convenient method of updating publication resources.

When you have uploaded the resources, you can open the publication using Content Studio to verify that the publication has been created or that your changes have taken effect.
