Lesson 4.5: Publishing a revision

In this lesson, you publish a revision to the metadata repository so that the enhanced rule set can be used in a standardization job.

Overview

After you make changes to a rule set in the Standardization Rules Designer, you can apply those changes to the rule set in the metadata repository by publishing the revision. After you publish the revision, the rule set must be provisioned in the Designer client before the rule set can be applied in a standardization job.

The fictional Sample Outdoor Company has updated the classifications, lookup tables, and rules in the version of the CAMPING.SET rule set that is stored on the Standardization Rules Designer database. To ensure that the version of the rule set that is used in standardization jobs reflects these changes, you publish the revision to the metadata repository.

Procedure

  1. In the Standardization Rules Designer, click the Home tab.
  2. In the navigation pane, click View and Publish Revision.
  3. Optional: In the Properties pane, enter information about the rule set.
    1. In the Notes field, enter a description of the changes that you made to the rule set since the revision was published.
    2. Click Apply.
  4. Click Publish. In the window for the message about publishing changes, click Yes.

    The rule set in the metadata repository is updated with the changes that you made in the Standardization Rules Designer.
