Assigning Batch Publishing Rules

All applications can use common, centralized tables and pages to define how to publish incremental messages from an application program. The Publish utility uses batch publish rules to process the data from the application program.

This section discusses how to:

• Associate a rule with a message and characterize the rule.

• Map a batch publishing message record to another record.

• Assign an application program to a publishing rule.

Note:

You can link application programs to multiple publishing rules for the same message or different messages. The Publish utility treats each publishing rule as a separate publishing cycle.
