Overview

42Q’s Configuration Publish portlet is used to publish configuration changes for Conduit. For example, when a Part x Route association is configured or a Route is changed, users can publish the configuration for use with Production Scanning. Configuration Publish has the ability to automatically publish these configurations, or users can manually publish them within the portlet.

Configuration Publish

The Configuration Publish Portlet displays a top panel with two grids underneath: To Publish and Published. The top panel displays the amount of pending configuration to publish. If there are pending configurations that need to be manually published, the Publish All button will display. Selecting this button will publish all pending configurations. Pending configurations appear in the To Publish list, while changes already published are viewable in the Published list.

Auto Publish

Configuration Publish will automatically publish configuration changes when the auto configuration generic attribute is active.

To use auto publish,

1. Navigate to Administration > Generic Attribute Maintenance.
2. Select the Add button.
3. Add the generic attribute “auto_configuration_publish” and set it to “yes”. For more information on setting generic attributes, see Generic Attribute Maintenance.

Once this is done, changes saved in SFDC Configuration will be automatically published.

Manually Publish

When changes such as a new Part x Route assignment need to be published and Auto Publish is not configured, users can manually publish the configurations.

To manually publish configurations,

1. Navigate to SFDC Configuration > Configuration Publish.

Pending changes to publish will display in the To Publish grid.
