General

The Execute button is used to generate Web content. Do not use this function until you have configured the required generation sets, generation objects and generation content.

• Generation set

  Select the generation set for the generation object.

• Name

  Enter a name for the generation object, that gives some clue as to the type of content it will hold. For example, a generation object called "Master pages" could be used to hold the section page and article page generation content.

• Code

  Enter the string (no spaces) that will be used to identify the site (or other generation set) in the code.

• Location

  Enter the absolute path to the directory in your file server.

  The path {$config.wcm.webSite.path}site{$context.site}/ variables tell WCM to use the website path defined in the configuration.xml file, and to replace {$context.site) with the number of the current site (for example, site6).

  The configuration.xml file is located in: [root]/xml/configuration.xml. Other configuration.xml files should not be consulted or modified unless absolutely required by a system administrator.

• Context

  Enter the site ID, using the syntax site=[siteid].

  To know the ID of your site, select Manage>Site sections, select a section, click Referencing and check the site number in the path under Default (Friendly URL).

  You could also configure a generation for generating all sites at once by defining a loop command in the Context field.

  To check the site ID for a site, select Advanced Searches>Editorial and open the Web Site list. The ID for each site is displayed along with the respective site names.

Select Save or Check-in (according to your selected lock mode) to save your generation object.
