Web Services application

The IBM® Rational® Publishing Engine Web Services application provides a remote engine that can be used to generate documents instead of a local Rational Publishing Engine engine. The Launcher and Document Studio connect to the remote engine and transfer the publishing process to that system. The Rational Publishing Engine Web Services application is optional and you can install it based on your organizational requirements.

The Rational Publishing Engine Web Services application provides a server-side facility to relocate publishing operations, which can sometimes be resource intensive and time consuming, to a high-performance system. By generating documents on another server, the workload on the client is offset.

License requirements for the Web Services application

Rational Publishing Engine licenses can either be floating user-based licenses or authorized user-based licenses. The Rational Publishing Engine Web Services application can consume floating licenses, but not authorized licenses. If only authorized user-based licenses are purchased, the Web Services application cannot use them, and document generation fails.
