Packaging content onto a CD/DVD-ROM deliverable
Use the Collection Publish tool to create a CD/DVD-ROM package out of the collection to which you have added your generated set of publications, in order to distribute them into the field.
About this task
Each collection has a unique name to identify its contents and to resolve content updates. For example, say you published and distributed a collection containing only the Bike publication and identified it as "BIKE2013". If you later update the collection with new Bike content and a Motor Bike publication, publish the updated collection with the same identifier, "BIKE2013". That way, when the newly published package encounters a client system containing an older version of "BIKE2013", it updates and installs the newest content onto the system.
Procedure
- Open a command console.
- On Linux, navigate to /opt/XyEnterprise/LiveContent/
- Run the
CollectionPubtool with two arguments: the name of the collection to package (say, the default collection) and the unique identifier for the deliverable you intend to create (say "BIKE2013"). For example, you might type one of the following:- On Microsoft Windows:
CollectionPub "F:\Program Files\XyEnterprise\LiveContentData\collections\default" "F:\Program Files\XyEnterprise\LiveContentData\cdimages\BIKE2013" - On Linux:
./CollectionPub /opt/XyEnterprise/LiveContentData/collections/default /opt/XyEnterprise/LiveContentData/cdimages/BIKE2013
- On Microsoft Windows:
- Navigate to the cdimages/ directory in the LiveContent application data directory, which itself defaults to one of the following:
- On Microsoft Windows: %HomePath%\LiveContentData\
- On Linux: /opt/XyEnterprise/LiveContentData/
- Burn the contents of the new folder you created, but not the folder itself, to a CD/DVD-ROM.
- Insert the CD/DVD-ROM into a Windows computer and click Run from CD.
- Log in as guest with the password guest, in the LiveContent login screen.
- Select your new publication and view it in LiveContent S1000D.
