Configuring SDL Contenta S1000D Web Clients to Run Custom XML Editors
This topic explains how to configure Contenta S1000D web clients to use any XML editor to edit Contenta S1000D objects. This configuration should be performed by a Contenta administrator who is familiar with using the Contenta Administration utility, pcmadmin, to configure Contenta databases as explained in the SDL Contenta Administration User Guide.
Contenta S1000D includes Check Out and Check In web tools for long-term check out and check in using any XML editor. These two web tools are attached to DModule, PModule, and SCORMContentPackage objects but are not initially assigned to any toolboxes.
Administrators first need to decide whether they want to use these Check Out and Check In tools or if they want to create new tools based on these tools but named for the editor in use, for example, XML Spy Check Out and XML Spy Check In.
To use the Check Out and Check In tools, run pcmadmin in single-user mode and add these tools to the toolboxes (roles) for the users who will be editing with these tools.
