Present

Seppala, Lloyd, Beeler

Discussion

Started with noites from Sunday Q4

Desktop Publishing needs to support:

• Publishing Cycle
  • Prepare Graphics, (clickable) from Visio
  • Extract xml (like uvpa.xml) from DB
• Position source:
  • Put files in right directories
  • Clean temporary directories
• Run Generator
• Position interim output:
  • Put files in right directories
• Run publish domain

Suggestions/Tasks:

• Provide "Scorched Earth" BAT files for Temporary files
• Document and expose Bat File for Static Model documentation merger migration
• Clean up for Publishing "Temp" files
• Define a step-by-step process using SVN
  • Include a process/analysis that would flag which files to use.
  • Discussed using "manifest" as an "exclude"
  • Issue with manifest is that it does not recognize missing files (frequently arise from mis-stated references in the PubDB)

PubDb Issues:

• Provide a reference PubDb with SC MT QI MI CI AI domains and a merge capability to replace previous stuff; include corrected vtPubSections
• Domain merge is missing annotation types and not updating with "new" annotations

Visio Issues:

• Visio "Repair document" SCREWS the design (Switches all class codes to "ACT" and then tries to drop attributes that are not in Act.)
• Visio validate against RIM ALSO screws up the content. See emails from Gregg
