Before you start:Before you can complete this task,
the pattern author must have completed the following task:
To publish a user-defined pattern, the pattern author must
upload the pattern archive to a pattern
community site, which is either a pattern community website or a pattern
community shared file system location. To upload to a pattern community
website, the pattern author must have write access to the website.
- To upload to a pattern community website:
- If the pattern community website supports the upload interface,
the pattern author can specify the pattern metadata, for example,
category, icon, and description, and then upload the pattern archive to the pattern community
website.
- If the pattern community website does not support the upload
interface, the pattern archive must be
passed to the administrator of the pattern community website so that
it can be published.
- To upload to a pattern community shared file system location:
- If the pattern author has write access to the shared file
location, that location can be selected when the pattern archive is created. See Creating a pattern archive.
- If the pattern author does not have write access to the shared
file location, the pattern archive must
be passed to the administrator of the shared file location so that
it can be published.
Next:The pattern user can now download and install
the pattern archive, see Downloading and installing a pattern archive.
