Adding a Dynamic Delivery output format to MetadataConfig.xml

After you've created a new Dynamic Delivery output format, also add this new output format to the Content Manager server configuration file MetadataConfig.xml. This step is required to make the Dynamic Delivery-specific setting Remote status available to users who publish to an output based on the output format.

Before you begin

To perform this task, you must have administrator-level access to the Content Manager server machine.

Procedure

  1. Access the Content Manager server machine.
  2. Go to the ISH\Web\Author\ASP\ClientConfig\ subfolder of your Tridion Docs Content Manager root folder.
  3. In this location, open MetadataConfig.xml for editing in a plain-text editor.
  4. In the ishfrmtabs section, find the ishfrmtab element whose id attribute is set to PublicationOutput.WorkflowTabPage.
  5. Within this ishfrmtab element, find the ishfrmgroup element whose ref attribute is set to PublicationOutput.SDLDITADeliveryOptionsGroup.
    This element has an ishcondition attribute with a value OutputFormat in (DDOUTPUTLIST), where DDOUTPUTLIST is a comma-separated list of names of Dynamic Delivery output formats, each enclosed in single quotes.
  6. Add the name of your newly created Dynamic Delivery output format to the list, enclosed in single quotes.
  7. Save and close MetadataConfig.xml.
