Configuring the Publish functions

When the BlueCielo Office Web Part is configured with a Meridian Enterprise source vault, a Publish command is available to library users. By default, the Publish command does nothing. It is intended to run a custom function, the purpose of which is determined by your organization's requirements.

Publishing documents with a web part is equivalent to releasing documents from a workflow in Meridian Enterprise. This is because checking out and checking in documents from a Meridian Enterprise source vault with a web part is equivalent to performing a Quick Change in Meridian Enterprise, for which there is no equivalent Release transition. That is, the documents are released immediately when they are checked in. The equivalent command when the source vault is ImandrA is Release.

The implementation of the function is done in the PublishVbsFunction defined in the vault's event script. A typical implementation updates custom properties in the source vault to indicate that a revised document is available in the SharePoint library. The additional function CanPublishVbsFunction is also available to control access to the PublishVbsFunction.

To configure the Publish functions:

1. Define the VBScript functions in the web part's source vault using the signatures described in VBScript functions. For more information on using VBScript in Meridian Enterprise, see the BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise VBScript API Reference.
2. Configure the function names in the site's web.config file as described in Configuring the Publish function names.
