Updating Engineering Publishing files after data source server changes

If you make changes to the server that hosts your data source, you must update the IBM Engineering Lifecycle Optimization - Publishing (PUB) document specifications and possibly, templates with the new information. These changes might include renaming a server or changing a port number, for example.

Before you begin

Design your document-style reports and document specifications with the expectation that data sources change. You can avoid having to update individual files as outlined in this task by planning your designs appropriately.

For more information on planning your template, see Designing document templates. For more information on variables, see Defining and assigning variables.

About this task

This task applies to REST and REST v2 data sources, including those that you connect to through the data adapters.
