To publish a process flow:

1. In the Project tab of the Navigator pane, right-click the process flow you want to publish and select Publish from the drop-down list.

   You can also choose Publish from the Build menu, or click the Publish icon in the toolbar.

   The Publishing Process - Locate a Publication Server dialog box opens. An example of this dialog box is shown in the following image.

   

2. From the Server URL drop-down list, choose the Service Manager server to which you want to publish the flow.
3. In the Login pane, type a valid user name and password in the corresponding fields for the Service Manager server.
4. Click Next.

   The Process Options dialog box opens, as shown in the following image.

   

5. In the Timeout field, type a time out value.

   Timeout is a run-time parameter that defines how long a process flow should continue running before being cancelled, for instance if the process flow loops. A value of zero (0) tells the process flow to run indefinitely (effectively, no time‑out). However, when run in Test mode from the Designer user interface, a zero time‑out value is substituted with 10 (seconds) to avoid flows that will not terminate.

6. Select or deselect the Enable debug node(s), as needed.

   This option activates the debug at run time so that traces are written to a file.

7. Click Next.

   The Publish To dialog box opens, as shown in the following image.

   

8. Select iWay Registry or Configuration ID as the destination to publish the process flow.
9. Click Next.

   The Select Publication Location(s) dialog box opens, as shown in the following image. This dialog box shows the publication locations (systems and listeners) for the selected Service Manager and configuration. The locations are listed in a table with three columns; Name, Type, and Description.

   

   You can publish a flow to a system, a configured listener, and (if defined) a global document. You can also choose to overwrite any flows that are currently published.

10. In the Name column, select a system and or the listener(s) to which you want to publish the process flow. To select all items in the Name column, click Check All.
11. Check or uncheck Overwrite existing published process(es) and Refresh listener after publication, as needed.
12. Click Finish.

    The Message Log pane displays the publishing status.

    An example of the status display when publishing to a system is shown in the following image.

    

If you successfully published a flow to a listener, a message similar to the following appears in the Results tab of the Message Log pane. In this example, HTTP1 is the listener to which you published the flow.

Process successfully published to /Listeners/HTTP1

The process flow will now run in the selected configuration when a document is received on the selected listener.

Note: You can publish only one process flow to a listener.

This option uses the default publication server (Service Manager) and configuration, but allows you to select the publication locations.

1. In the Project tab of the Navigator pane, right-click the process flow you want to publish and select Default Publish from the drop-down list.

   The Select Publication Location(s) dialog box opens, as shown in the following image. This dialog box shows the publication locations (systems and listeners) for the default Service Manager and configuration. The publication locations are listed in a table with three fields; Name, Type, and Description.

   

2. In the Name column, select the system and or listeners to which you want to publish the process flow. To select all items in the Name column, click Check All.
3. Check or uncheck Overwrite existing published process(es) and Refresh listener after publication, as needed.
4. Click Finish.

The Message Log pane displays the publishing status.

To republish a process flow:

1. Right-click the process flow you want to republish and select Republish from the drop-down list.

   The publication process uses the previous publication settings (publication server and locations) to publish the process flow. The publication results appear in the Message Log pane.

For an example of publication results, see How to Publish a Process Flow.

You can only unpublish a process flow from a run-time configuration. To remove a process flow from a Registry, use the iWay Service Manager console, as described in the iWay Service Manager User’s Guide.

Use the following procedure to view the published process flows on a particular publication server and to unpublish a process flow that is currently published.

1. Select Publication Management from the Tools menu or click the Publication Management icon located in the toolbar.

   The Unpublishing Process(es) - Locate a Publication Server dialog box opens, as shown in the following image.

   

2. From the Server URL drop-down list, choose the Service Manager server you want to access.
3. In the Login pane, type a valid user name and password in the corresponding fields for the Service Manager server.
4. Click Next.

   The Select Server Configuration dialog box opens, as shown in the following image.

   

5. From the Configuration ID drop-down list, choose the configuration you want to access.
6. Click Next.

   The Unpublish Operation dialog box opens. An example of this dialog box is shown in the following image. The processes are listed in a table with three fields; Name, Type, and Description.

   

7. In the Name column, select the process flow(s) you want to unpublish. If you want to select all process flows on this configuration, click Check All.
8. Click Finish.

   The Publication Management tool closes and the unpublishing results appear in the Message Log pane. An example of the unpublishing results for a process flow named SWIFT_ROUTER is shown in the following image.

   

The process flow has been removed from the publication server.
