Publish Rules

Hi all,

I was reading the documentation on Publish Rules in the Visualization services guide.

I have few questions.,

1. Looks like the publish rules are only for EPMDocuments, is this true?

Regarding the trigger for publishing. the documentation says.,

There are five values that will trigger Publish Rules processing:

• <publish on=”checkin”/> — the trigger for Publish Rules evaluation is a

publish job for an EPMDocument resulting from a check-in.

• <publish on=”create-representation”/> — the trigger for Publish Rules

evaluation is a publish job for a Create Representation action (via the New

Representation wizard) executed from an EPMDocument (or its ownerassociated

WTPart) from the Representations/Annotations table.

• <publish on=”schedule”/> — the trigger for Publish Rules evaluation is a

publish job for an EPMDocument resulting from a job submitted using the

WVS Job Scheduler.

• <publish on=”unknown-source”/> — the trigger for Publish Rules

evaluation is a publish job resulting from any other event, such as from a

manual republish, republish on change, workflow initiated (doPublish),

etc.

• <publish on=”manual-post”/> — specifies that a matching EPMDocument

can have manual post-publishing

Is there any trigger for Publish on "PDM Checkout"? Because OOTB ,when the carry forward is turned off, it also disables publishing when "PDMCheckout".

I have a related post here...

publish.copyrepresentationsforward

Any suggestions on how to handle this requirement? (Customization is the last option for me).

Thanks

Hari
