Generating Documentation in Capital E/E Publisher > Package Manager Application

Managing Documentation Packages

You manage existing documentation packages for an application viewing platform through the use of the Package Manager Application. Actions could include adding new packages to make them accessible to a viewing platform, editing an existing package name and description, or a removing older packages (sort and move) for archiving purposes.

Prerequisites

You have a Package Manager Application running for your packager type. To do this double-click the CapitalPackageManager.exe found in the root of your documentation package generation folder. Note To generate a Package Manager application, change the relevant value to ‘true’ in the < include-package-manager

element of the \publisher\config.xml file located in your Capital installation. Then run the documentation package generation again to generate a Package Manager.

					Please note that any language translations will show as plain Quick Code
						text (for example; {ABD}) for attributes such as package description.
						See  Language Dictionary in the *Capital Design Tools - Common Functions User
							Guide* for further details.
