Keeping document specifications synchronized with templates

If data source schemas are added to a template after the template is assigned to a document specification, the document specification becomes out of sync. You can manually synchronize the document specification or set preferences so that it is automatically synchronized with the current template.

About this task

If the synchronization preference is set to Yes, the current template in Document Studio is automatically assigned to the document specification in Launcher. However, if the synchronization preference is set to No, you need to manually add the template to the document specification, and then perform a synchronization operation.

Procedure

To manually synchronize the document specification:

  1. In Document studio, click Windows > Preference > RPE > RPE Document Studio.
  2. In the Preference window, click No for the Keep the document synchronized with the current template?

  3. Click OK.
  4. Save the currently opened template.
  5. Open the Launcher perspective.
  6. In the Document Specification view, do one of the following:
    • Right-click Templates and select Add template.
    • Drag a document template file (.dta) to the Document Specification view.
  7. Click Document specification > Synch Document specification.
