Passing parameters from Contenta S1000D to LiveContent S1000D

You can pass parameters from the Contenta publish tool to LiveContent. You accomplish this by modifying your publish configuration files. Parameters for configuration items can be passed to both the LiveContent Publishing Server configuration file and the LiveContent configuration file.

Procedure

  1. As an administrator, on the Contenta Web server, navigate to the Contenta_home/web/cw_common/custom/S1000D_Publish directory and open your publish configuration file in an XML or text editor.
    The default publish configuration file is named PublishConfiguration.xml, but you probably have your own version(s) of this file.
  2. To pass a parameter to the LiveContent Publishing Server configuration file, add the following code:
    <property name="ContentaGen_Config_MyCustomArg"
    			 value="MyValue"/>
    where MyCustomArg is the name of the parameter and MyValue is the value for the parameter.
  3. To pass a parameter to the LiveContent configuration file, add the following code:
    <property name="ContentaView_Config_MyCustomArg"
    			 value="MyValue"/>
    where MyCustomArg is the name of the parameter and MyValue is the value for the parameter.
  4. Save and exit the publish configuration file. If you have multiple publish configuration files, modify the other files as needed.
