5.20.2 Publish Now

Publishing is the term used to describe Site Studio Publisher crawling a Web site and creating a static Web site to a pure web server environment. Depending on the size of the Web site, publishing may take quite a while, and this is why the full site is often published only periodically. In these cases, some time may pass before a changed web page is reflected on the live site. Getting Started With Designer 5-45 You may not want to wait until the next publication cycle for a changed web page to appear on the site, especially if you corrected errors on a page. To accommodate for this, Site Studio Publisher has a Publish Now feature, which enables it to search for files on the content server that are marked for immediate publication and then publish only those files. This is a much quicker process, since it does not involve deploying the entire site, but only a limited number of files. The Publish Now selection is in the Site Studio Contributor toolbar. When a contributor changes a page and wants it published quickly, they click the Publish Now selection in the Contributor toolbar. For more information on Publish Now in Site Studio Contributor, see the Users Guide for Site Studio Contributor. Contributor can be controlled regarding whether or not the Publish Now feature is available, by setting the feature in Designer. This is easily handled in the menu bar, first selecting File, then Site, then Advanced, and finally Enable Publish Now for more information, see Site Submenu on page 5-16. If Enable Publish Now is checked, it is enabled, and contributors working on the Web site can mark the individual pages with Publish Now. 5-46 Oracle Fusion Middleware Users Guide for Site Studio Designer 6 Customizing Designer 6-1 6 Customizing Designer The Designer interface provides a powerful working environment for creating and managing Web sites.
