<shortdesc id="twpub_shortdesc"><i>Publishing</i> involves copying files (projects, | |
resource files, and server configurations) to the correct location for the | |
server to find and use them. In the test environments, these files may already | |
be in the correct location. In some cases, temporary copies of the server | |
configurations may be created. You can either publish your application automatically | |
or manually.</shortdesc> | |

the files are automatically updated when the server is either started or restarted.</p><p | |
id="twpub_p2">To publish your application manually you can complete one of | |
the following in the Servers view:</p><p id="twpub_auto2">In the workbench, | |
you have several options to choose for the <i>Publishing</i> settings. You | |
can set these <i>Publishing</i> settings by going into the Servers view, right-click | |
the server and select <uicontrol>Open</uicontrol>. The Server editor opens. | |
In the <i>Overview</i> page of the server editor, under the <uicontrol>Publishing</uicontrol> settings, | |
you are going to find the following settings:<ul> | |
<li><uicontrol>Never publish automatically</uicontrol>: Specifies the workbench | |
should never publish files to the server.</li> | |
<li><uicontrol>Automatically publish when resources change<?Pub Caret?></uicontrol>: | |
Specifies that when a change is made to the files running on the server, the | |
number of <i>seconds</i> specified in the <uicontrol>Publishing interval </uicontrol>control | |
will need to pass before the workbench calls a publish to happen on the server. | |
However, if you make a subsequent change to the files before this time interval | |
has completed, the publish is delayed as the timer is reset. The workbench | |
makes a publish to the server only after the full time interval has passed. | |
If you set the publishing interval to 0 seconds, a change to the files running | |
on the server should automatically request a publish command to occur.</li> | |

publishing interval to pass, at anytime you can manually request the workbench | |
to issue a publish command to the server. Each manual publish command causes | |
a single publishing request to the server. To publish your application manually | |
you can complete one of the following in the Servers view:</p><p><ul> | |
