Packaging content for delivery on CD/DVD-ROM
To distribute a collection containing a generated set of publications into the field, use LiveContent S1000D's Collection Publish tool. This tool prepares a package of a collection, the required libraries, the program files and an installer. It stores the package in a target directory so that you can burn it onto a CD/DVD-ROM.
About this task
The Collection Publish tool gives each CD/DVD-ROM package a unique name to identify the package contents. In the field, this unique identifier is used to identify collections that should be updated.
For example, the Collection Publish tool might package a collection containing only the Bike publication, and give that package an identifier BIKE2009. When you later add new Bike content plus an all-new Motor Bike to the collection, package the collection with the same identifier, BIKE2009. By doing so, users who installed the earlier version of the collection will have their content updated.
