Publishing Your Application's Dynamic Web Views

After creating and configuring your application jobs, you must publish each dynamic Web view in your application.

"Publishing" a dynamic Web view identifies each file belonging to a particular view, and lets you give the view a name. It also lets you move the files from the design environment to your application server. When a user clicks a link to their statement ("running" a dynamic Web view), the link identifies the set of design files to use to extract and present the user's statement data.

Publishing dates the set of view files with a timestamp. Publishing a view is also called "creating a version set." A version set is a dated set of design files.

To publish a dynamic Web view for an application:

1.   Click Publisher on the Command Center Main Console.

2.   Click Create. Publisher displays the Select a Version Set Type screen.

3.   For a dynamic HTML version set, under Dynamic Web Views, next to HTML, click the number of auxiliary HTML templates this view uses (in addition to one); if the view uses one HTML file, click 0. If the view uses two HTML template files, then click 1, etc.
To publish a CSV, XML, Chart, XSLT, or XML Query view, under Dynamic Web Views, Number of Auxiliary Files, click the 0 next to the job type. Publisher displays the Create a Version Set screen for the view type you're publishing.

4.   Select the application name from the drop-down list.

5.   Enter the view name; this is the specific name the Web browser looks for in the code. Enter the view name; this is the specific name the Web browser looks for in the code. This view name is customized in your JSP and HTML pages; consult your design team for details.

6.   Select the names of the design files to publish. You publish the following files for each type of dynamic Web view:

HTML

A DDF, ALF, and one or more HTML files

XS

One or more XSL files

CSV

A DDF and a TOK file

XML

A DDF file

Chart

A Properties file

XSLT

An XSLT file and an application DDF

XML Query

A DDF file

7.   Click Submit. Publisher displays the Submission screen showing the files you published.

8.   If you have any additional dynamic Web views for your application, click Create and continue to publish version sets for those views.

Once your application and jobs are defined and you've published your dynamic Web views, you can proceed to schedule jobs for live production.
