Our IWP run takes 20 to 40 hours, and it would be much shorter if we could exclude publishing some objects.

For example, we map system components to technology specifications/products. We have a sub report that shows this mapping by joining components to tech-spec/components to tech-components to tech-standard. Since we have the sub-report, we do not need to generate a page for tech-spec/components. We have 1000+ sysem components and 1000+ technology specifications, which is fine alone, but the # of mappings is well over 10,000 comps to specs.

Has anyone figured out how to skip generating a web page for certain object types? i.e. exclude objects.

This is one of 5 cases and we have over 20k mapping definitions in these objects, thus creating 20k pages we don't need.... As well, there are many other objects we could rule out.

not too mention moving (zipping/unzipping) files to production takes 1.5 hours because of how windows handles large quantity of files in directories poorly (though we are looking at some enhancements there).

Ideas?

Hi


I posed this question to one of our consultants and got the following response :-

Object types are only generated when a rule is present instructing IWP to generate a page for that object. Rules are specified in the three tabs of IWP Class Defaults, Type Defaults and Alternate Reports. When IWP executes and produces a page, it looks for new objects in the page. It then works through these objects and looks for rules as follows:


"When I executed the 'component report' I have found a 'tech-spec/component' definition" what do I do. First it will look at the alternate reports tab and see if there is an entry specifiying which report to execute upon the 'tech-spec/component' definition. Here you may also specify 'no report'  which would say whenever I execute the 'component report' and found  'tech-spec/component' definition  execute this report i.e. no report at all. If no entry is found in Alternate Reports then IWP will look in Type Defaults.

Here it will look for "whenever I find a 'tech-spec/component' definition what do I do". Again a report or the 'no report' entry can be allocated. If no entry is present in this tab then it will fall back again to Class defaults and IWP will ask the question :-

"I have found a defintion, what do I do?" and the user may have allocated either nothing, "no report" or a specified report. In this instance "no report" a nothing will cause the same effect i.e. if IWP has got this far and found either no page will be created.

So, the solution to not getting a page for every 'tech-spec/component' definition is to make sure that no entry is made under all three tabs for this.


I hope this helps
Ian
