Syndicator fields

Field Details
Syndicator Name and Description These fields identify the syndicator.
Subscriber Name, ID and URL These fields identify the subscriber.
Mode mode="modetype"

Configured: This mode uses the mode configured in the WCM WCMConfigService service.
Automatic: Syndication is scheduled automatically based on the configured syndication interval.
Manual: Syndication occurs only when requested using the administration portlet.

Libraries Click Add Libraries to select a library to syndicate and the syndication type:

published-items="library_name_1,library_name_2"

Published item syndication is mostly used when we syndicate to a staging or delivery server. The following items are syndicated:

Published
Expired

Draft items, projects, project templates, and items in a project are not syndicated.
all-items="library_name_1,library_name_2"

Use "All items" syndication to gradually syndicate projects to a staging or delivery server, rather than waiting until all items in a project achieve a published state. The following items are syndicated:

Published
Expired
Draft items
Projects that contain draft items saved in the configured library. See Projects and syndication for further information.

Project templates are not syndicated.
all-items-and-versions="library_name_1,library_name_2"

"All items and versions" syndication is mostly used when we syndicate between servers within an authoring environment. Selecting this option can increase the amount of time taken for syndication because it includes versions and deleted items. The following items are syndicated:

Published
Expired
Draft items
Projects that contain draft items saved in the configured library. See Projects and syndication.
Versions
Deleted items

Project templates are not syndicated.

Select libraries from the current list and click Remove Libraries to remove a library from the list of syndicated libraries.
Note: If the syndication configuration is updated to change the syndication type to be more restrictive, then a normal rebuild will not remove previously syndicated items that are now out of scope. For example draft items on the subscriber would not be removed if the syndication type is changed from "All Items" to "Published Items". A Rebuild With Mirror can be used to fully synchronize the library with respect to the new syndication type which includes the removal of subscriber modifications and previously syndicated items.
Enabled This view indicates whether syndication is enabled or not.
