Publish a Project

To share a workflow with users or robots, the project that contains the workflow must first be published to a Real-Time Server.

You can publish multiple versions of a project. Each time you republish a project you must assign it a new version number. The Real-Time Server stores all previously published versions.

If you publish a project that includes imported packages to a real-time server, those packages will automatically be uploaded to the real-time server together with your project. Clients that receive your project from the real-time server will automatically and seamlessly received the packages too.

To publish a project:

  1. Verify that you are connected to the Real-Time Server to which you want to publish your project:

    1. Verify that the Disconnect button is displayed.

    2. Roll over the Disconnect button and check that the connection details match those of the Real-Time Server you want to publish to.

    If you are not connected to the required Real-Time Server, connect now. See Connect To a Real-Time Server.

  2. Click the Server Actions button .

  3. Click Publish Project.

    If you have not saved your project, you will be asked if you want to save it.

  4. Enter a Version Number for your project. If you have previously published your project, you must assign a new version number as you cannot overwrite an existing version.

    Similarly, if you attempt to publish a backup copy, you must publish it with a different version number than any original published version or any published backup version. We recommend against publishing backup copies.

  5. Optionally, enter a Version Description.

  6. Click Publish.

  7. Close the Published Successfully message.

    The workflow can now be consumed from the Real-Time Server.
