Publishing Subsystems
When you publish a subsystem, you copy the
subsystem file and all its associated
property files to the target database, which is the database where your template-based product saves all files. You can also select to publish the subsystem's template file. As you publish the subsystem, you can choose to write over existing files or create backups of the files.
You can also select to update the in-session subsystem data to point to the target database or to have the subsystem retain the existing references.
The subsystem you are publishing must be currently opened in the standard interface, and the target database must be writable.
