PubManager objects in the CSDB

The Contenta CSDB includes a Publication Management container in which PubManager objects are stored. This container exists on the same level as the Publication Modules container and stores objects in a parallel hierarchy.

SDL delivers the following PubManager object templates in the Publication Management container for each supported S1000D Issue (3.0, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, and 5.0).
  • PubMan-SAMPLEBIKE-XYENT-000xx-01_002
  • PubMan-SAMPLEBIKE-XYENT-000xx-01_002_EN-US

where xx is the S1000D Issue.

Each of these PubManager objects corresponds to one of the sample PMs.

You can create a change package XML file using any method as long as the file conforms to the PubManager schema and naming convention. The name of a PubManager object must begin with the prefix PubMan, followed by the name of its associated PM and its three-digit change package issue number, delimited with an underscore. In multi-language CSDBs, PubManager object names also include the language-country extension at the end when required, for example: PubMan-SAMPLEBIKE-XYENT-00042-01_002_FR-FR. The following is a sample list of issues for a publication named PMC-SAMPLEBIKE-XYENT-00041-01 that has two full revisions and three change packages:
