Publishing with the Dynamic Delivery output format from Publication Manager

Publishing for Dynamic Delivery (using the Dynamic Delivery output format) from Publication Manager requires that you specify a Product family name and a Product release name value in the publication properties before you hit the Publish button.

Before you begin

The publication you want to publish is open in Publication Manager.

About this task

This procedure assumes that the following have been created beforehand:
  • The appropriate product family value.
  • The appropriate product release value.
  • A Dynamic Delivery output for the published publication.

Procedure

  1. In the Publication Manager's content explorer pane, right-click on the publication object (the one at the very top of the tree) and select Properties.
  2. In the General tab, select the appropriate Product family name from the list.
  3. In the Version tab, select the appropriate Product release name from the list. Click OK.
  4. In Publication Manager's Output tab, select the Dynamic Delivery output format line and click Publish.

What to do next

Make sure your publication is visible by checking the value of the Dynamic Delivery Remote Status output format property. When the publication is open in Publication Manager, you can find this property in the properties of the output format (Output tab, right-click the DITA Delivery output format and select Properties).

If the value is Online, your publication is visible, if it is Offline, it is not visible. After changing this property, you must re-publish the publication to put it into effect.

You can also use this property to hide your publication if you are currently making significant changes.
