Modifying or removing Publication mappings
After you have mapped a Publication to one or more environments, you can modify its mappings or remove them.
Procedure
- Access the Content Manager Explorer Web site.
- Navigate to and select the Publication you previously mapped, and in the Home Ribbon tab, select Properties.
The properties of the Publication open in a new dialog.
- Select the Publishing tab.
You see the configured mappings for the Publication
- To modify an existing mapping, under Environments, select the environment whose mapping you want to modify and edit the fields in the content area on the right.
- To remove an existing mapping, under Environments, select the environment whose mapping you want to remove and select Remove Mapping.
- To map the Publication to an entirely different list of environments (for example, to map to a Staging and Live environment instead of a Staging environment only), do the following:
- If you have published content to any of the current environments, unpublish all your Publication content from all those environments.
- Select a different value for Business Process Type (and, if needed, a specific Topology within that Business Process Type) to see a new list of environments to map to.
- Create new mappings for any environments that do not have one yet.
CAUTION:Settings for any configured environments that are not present in the new Business Process Type will be discarded when you save and close the Publication. - To map the Publication to another set of instances of the same types of environment (for example, to map to Staging and Live environments in the Cloud rather than on premise), you must first remove all mappings. Once you have done so, select Change Topology and select the specific Topology to which would like to map. Then create new mappings for all environments.
- Select Save and Close to apply your changes.
Content Manager Explorer changes your Publication mappings.
If you changed the environments you map to, Content Manager Explorer:- preserves your existing mapping settings for any environment that exists in both your old and your new setups
- discards your existing mapping settings for any environment that does not exist in the new setup
