Publishing and rendering options

When documents are registered by the source vault's VBScript event handlers, publishing options and rendering options can be specified that modify the publishing job. These options can be set using the RegisterDocument method described in RegisterDocument method.

The BC Meridian system link supports the options described in the following table when the destination system is another Meridian Enterprise vault. The Microsoft SharePoint system link also supports publishing options, however they must be specified in a customized SharePoint workflow template. The publishing options are not supported by the Windows file system link.

Note    If an option accepts a value and the value is empty, the publishing job settings are used. If the value is invalid (missing < or > characters), the job will fail.

Publishing options
Option Description

_CDWF_
<WorkflowDefinitionName
;WorkflowStateName>_

The document is published to the destination system immediately into the specified workflow state.

_DATAONLY_

The document content is not transmitted, only the property values. This option is typically used together with the _NORENDER_ option.

_LIB_<Title>_

The title of the SharePoint library to publish to. If specified, the value replaces both the Library option that is configured in the publishing job.

Note    This option is supported by the SharePoint publishing module only.

_NOREDLINES_

Prevents the publishing of redlines.

_NORELEASE_

The document is not released in the destination vault after publishing.

_PUBLISHONLY_<PropertySet.PropertyName;PropertyValue>_

A safeguard for certain configurations in which a document can be rendered and published before changes to the document are saved in the vault. This can result in an invalid rendition in the destination system.

Specify the name of a custom property for the source system link to check for the specified value before publishing the document. If the property does not contain the specified value, the document is not published by that attempt, the text Document is not ready for publishing is saved in the publishing log, and the property is rechecked on each retry.

Scripting is responsible for setting the value prior to publishing and resetting the value after publishing unless the value is unique for each document. We recommend setting the value to the document revision number using Document.VersionID, a vault sequence number using Vault.Sequence(Name), or a globally unique ID (GUID).

Following is an example of getting a GUID in VBScript:

Function CreateGUID
  Dim TypeLib
  Set TypeLib = CreateObject("Scriptlet.TypeLib")
  CreateGUID = Left(TypeLib.Guid, 38)
End Function

_RETRY_<Count>_

If the job fails for any reason, restart the job in the queue <Count> times or until the job succeeds, whichever comes first.

Note    This option overrides the Number of retries if publishing fails setting described in Configuring the publishing options.

_SITE_<URL>_

The URL of the SharePoint site and subsite (if applicable) to publish to. If specified, the value replaces both the Site address and the Subsite options that are configured in the publishing job.

Note    This option is supported by the SharePoint publishing module only.

_RETIRE_

The document is not published to the destination system, but the existing document in the destination vault is retired.

The rendering modules support the options described in the following table.

Rendering options
Option Description

_GROUP_

Invokes the post-rendering features to combine the rendition of the registered document and the renditions of its references into a single file .

_NOPOSTRENDER_

Disables rendition post-processing actions (for example, watermarks or signature pages).

_NORENDER_

Disables document rendering and an empty file is published to the destination vault. This option is typically used together with the _DATA_ONLY_ option.

_PAGERANGE_<Start;End>_

Renders only the specified range of pages. This option may be specified in any of the formats that are described in the following table.

Note    This option is supported by the AutoVue rendering module only.

Supported formats
Format Description

_PAGERANGE_<>_

Current page

_PAGERANGE_<;>_

All pages

_PAGERANGE_<n;n>_

Pages n to n

_PAGERANGE_<n;>_

Page n to the end of the document
