Running a publishing job
Running a publishing job starts the job immediately. Repeating a past publishing job runs the job immediately using the current job options, which might not necessarily be the options that were in effect when the job was first run.
Note If the source system contains many documents, we recommend that you perform the first run of the publishing job outside of business hours. The publishing job could take a considerable amount time depending on the size of the source data.
To run a publishing job immediately:
- In Meridian Enterprise Server Configurator, in the Data Exchange group, click Jobs. The All Jobs page appears and lists the existing publishing jobs. The jobs are grouped by the name of the computer (cluster node) to which they have been assigned.
- Select the job that you want to run and then in the toolbar, click Run. The job is started as a background task. For information about background tasks, see Monitoring background tasks.
To repeat a past publishing job:
- In Meridian PowerUser, open the Tasks page as described in Monitoring background tasks.
- Select the job that you want to repeat and click Repeat. A confirmation dialog box appears.
- Click YES. The job is copied to the top of the Tasks list and starts immediately.
Note
- A publishing job will generate an error if licenses for any of its system links or rendering modules are unavailable.
- No two publishing jobs may run at the same time on the same computer. A publishing job and a Meridian Explorer synchronization job may run at the same time.
