Guideline: Publishing |  |
This guideline provides recommendations for publishing
Main Description
Publishing an individual Practice is a valuable exercise as it allows you to see the practice in its published form, which may result in some refinements. Publishing an individual practice involves publishing a method configuration that specifies what practices will be published (the selected practice method plug-ins and packages) and how they will appear in the published method (the navigation views). Such a configuration is usually not delivered to an end-user, but is quite helpful during the development of the practice. It is recommended that the name of the configuration include the name of the practice. For convenience, publishing options may be stored in a configuration file. Once the configuration has been defined it can be published. #### Publishing in the UMF When defining configurations in the Unified Method Framework (UMF), you can use the generic navigation view defined in the default navigation view definition plug-in in the UMF core as the navigation view for the test configuration. Usually, that is all that is needed. However, feel free to define additional navigation views, if needed. For more information on how navigation views are implemented in the UMF, see Navigation Views in the UMF in Guideline: Defining Method Elements. As with all configurations in the UMF, any configuration-specific elements (e.g., navigation views, welcome pages, processes, etc.) need to be define in a separate Publish plug-in for the test configuration and that Publish plug-in must be included in the test configuration.
