Using Content Builder Batch Applications

Content Builder uses the delta process to track English source changes. The changes can then be edited by developers into a code page or workspace database. A tool in Content Builder enables developers to access the data dictionary to edit the delta glossary items. These edits eventually need to be synchronized with the pristine database for the purposes of translating and mastering the software.

From the Work With Delta menu (GH7941), select Delta Data Synch.

1. On the Processing Options form, complete these processing options and click OK:

   • Compare Data Source

     This data source contains the status records and the compare source English.

   • Code Page Data Source

     This data source contains the edits that the developers entered, and which need to be updated in the compare and destination data sources.

   • Destination Data Source

     This data source contains the current pristine set of data for the current release of the data dictionary.

   • Synch by Status

     This option selects the status records to update, so that only edited items are replaced.

   • Update Compare Status

     This option updates the status, so that the same records are not continually updated with this process.

2. On the Report Output Destination form, select one of these options and click OK:

   • On Screen

   • To Printer

     The batch process runs.

When Content Builder is not using the delta process to track changes, a set of non-Binary Large Object Form Design Aid (non-BLOB FDA) data is required to use the token integration tool. The non-BLOB data can be generated from the BLOB specifications to enable edits when using token integration in Content Builder.
