Publishing Content Projects

---

After the content for a project has been added and approved, use the Content Center publication workflow to publish to your production environment.

Make sure that:

• You have specified the publication workflow for the project. (See Step 4 in the To create a content project procedure.)
• The status of the project is In Process and the status of each item in the project is Completed.

To publish a content project

1. From the application-level menu, choose View > Site Map > Content Center Administration > Content Projects.
2. From the Content Projects list, select the appropriate content project.
3. Click the menu button, and select one of the following:
   • Publish. This changes the state of the project to Published and instantiates the publication workflow synchronously. This means that users must wait for all workflow processes to begin before regaining control of the user interface. For large projects, this could take several minutes.
   • Request Publish. This instantiates the publication workflow asynchronously on a separate server component, which returns control to users more quickly. This is the recommended method to use for projects that contain thirty or more items. This method requires that the Content Project Publish server component is online. (See Siebel Server Administration Guide for information about starting server components.)
4. If you selected Request Publish in Step 3:
   1. From the application-level menu choose View > Site Map > Server Administration > Components.
   2. In the Components list, select the Content Project Publish record, and check the task state of the component tasks.

      If publication fails, the task state is "Exit with Error."

NOTE:  A content project cannot be republished, except by creating a new content project, for example by copying the published project.
