5.10.2.  Generate QA catalog | Publish Live state...

Special notes

  • The generation of the QA state before publishing is mandatory.

  • You can only generate 3 QA states per day and catalog.

  • You can only generate 1 Live state per day and catalog.

  • Publishing is possible as of QA level 5.

    If the QA level comes below 5, then the publishing marking automatically changes to "Not to publish" .

  • The generation is processed on the server specified in the configuration file under $CADENAS_SETUP/qasettings.cfg.

  • Beside the generation and publishing of complete catalogs partial generation and publishing on directory level is also possible.

    The same commands (Generate QA catalog and Publish Live state...) are used as on catalog main level. However, special rights are required. If these rights are missing, then the respective commands are not displayed.

    When adding and partial publishing a directory please regard that the files dir.def and dir.prj of the superordinated directory are missing. Thereby adjustments, changes (translations for example) are possibly not been applied to the subdirectory or adjustments concerning the visibility of other directories.

    Before partial generation and publishing is possible, the complete catalog state has to be generated and published once.

    You can publish a number of subdirectories at the same time. Hereto mark the desired directories via Ctrl key.

Procedure

  1. In the directory structure select the desired catalog. Now in the section Edit project the tab Release Notes is displayed.

    Here enter the Release Notes (at the latest before publishing or already when the QA state is generated).

    Detailed information on this is found under Section 4.9.21, “ Release Notes tabbed page ”.
