Avoiding accidental overwriting of output on Avaya Documentation Center

Last Updated : Apr 09, 2024 |
Prolog information
  • Uploaded documents for the major release, for example, 4.0, on Avaya Documentation Center.
  • Started work on a Feature Pack or Service Pack for that product.

Potential issue

If you accidentally publish the Avaya Documentation Center output of the working copy, the content gets updated on Avaya Documentation Center.
Avaya Documentation Center overwrites the output because the publication for Feature Pack\Service Pack and the major release share the same bundle name.

Best practice 1

  1. This applies when you are updating the content for Service Pack of the current release where you need to replace the document on the Avaya Documentation Center.
  2. Delete the Avaya Documentation Center output formats from the current working copy of the publication in Tridion Docs.
  3. Add the AvayaDocPortal output format only when you plan to upload the content on the Avaya Documentation Center.

Best practice 2

  1. This applies when you create or update content for a new release, and upload as a new document on the Avaya Documentation Center.
  2. In the new version of the publication that you created for a new product release, set the new release number for which you are creating the content.
    For example, 4.0.
  3. Update the bundle name in the new version of the bookmap.
    For example, change the bundle name from DeployingOceanaSolution_r3.9 to DeployingOceanaSolution_r40.
    STEP RESULT:
    With the new bundle name and the release number, even if you accidentally publish the AvayaDocPortal output, Avaya Documentation Center creates a new entry of the document, and does not overwrite the existing document.
