Packaging content for delivery
Complete these steps in the LiveContent Central Publish tool to build an IETP data package of one or more IETPs for distribution. The package, which includes the content, is stored in a target directory in zipped versions.
Before you begin
- The LiveContent Central Publishing Server must be installed.
- One or more publications must have been generated using the LiveContent Central Publish tool.
- The user must have sufficient read-write permissions to create and modify configuration, data, and status log files in their respective directories.
About this task
When you build a package, you give it a unique identifier, which can be used in the field to identify collections that should be updated.
For example, you might name a package containing only the Bike publication BIKE2020. After adding new content, if you package the collection with the same identifier, users who installed the earlier version of the collection will have their content updated.
