Customizing Scenarios and Messaging

If you are running with ATG Knowledge, and you want to create custom scenario- or messaging-related code, you need to make sure that your code is in modules that are loaded on both servers, and you need to make sure that your data is stored in the appropriate database tables. This includes customizations to any of the following ATG entities:

It is not sufficient to add the customizations to the Self Service server, because the ATG Knowledge server will not notice them, and will fail to launch the external Scenario Manager, causing your customizations to be ignored. Use the scenarioManager.xml file to register such customizations, and load this file on both the Knowledge and Self Service servers.
