Publishing pages to Mashup Center

You can publish pages to Mashup Center.

Before you begin

The option to publish pages is available only if Business Space has been configured to work with Mashup Center.

About this task

When you publish a page, the page becomes an item in the Mashup Center catalog. For additional information, see Publishing pages to the catalog in the Mashup Center documentation.
Restriction: Many Business Space widgets do not run outside of Business Space. For this reason, a Business Space page might not work properly in Mashup Center.

Procedure

  1. Open the business space that contains the page and then open the page.
  2. In the banner, click Actions > Publish this page. The Publish window opens.
  3. Type the title, description, and version of the page.
  4. Select whether the page is public or private. If you publish the page using the public option, other users can view and select that page just as they can for any other page in the catalog.
  5. Select whether you are publishing the page as a URL or as a set of definitions and resources.
    • Select Publish page as URL to publish a reference to the page as a fully qualified URL instead of uploading files. When users access the page in the catalog, they can add it to the Favorites but they cannot modify the page.
    • Select Publish page definition and artifacts to upload the page package as a .zip file. When a user accesses the page in the catalog and then adds it to the mashup builder or to Business Space, the page definition and all the artifacts associated with the page are deployed and installed on the appropriate server (the Mashup Center server or the Business Space server). The server uses the page definition and artifacts to create a page with the user as the page owner.
  6. Click Publish.

Results

When you open the catalog, you can see the page as an item in the catalog.
