Keep document open (sessions)
In early versions of QuarkXPress Server Manager, the software opened a QuarkXPress
project, performed a function, and then closed the project. To avoid the delays involved
in repeatedly opening and closing a QuarkXPress project, QuarkXPress Server Manager
can now keep QuarkXPress projects open until they need to be closed.
To keep projects open for a set period of time, create a session and then open one or
more projects in that session. You can specify a timeout interval while creating the
session. If the session is not used during the interval, all open projects in that session
are closed.
An open project can be modified and saved at any time during the process. An open
project can even be saved at another location relative to the QuarkXPress Server
document pool. You can also create a new project and keep it open.
Using the Extensibility tool
To compile and generate artifacts of custom objects:
1
Update the file [QXPSM-XDK]/Extensibility/rogenerator/ManagerSDK.xml by
adding the definitions of any custom objects being created by QuarkXPress Server.
Make sure you do not use existing class names.
2
Open the file "Generate.command"/"Generate.bat" in a text editor and make the
following changes:
Set the value of QXPSM_LIB_DIR to the path of the QXPSM libraries. For example:
@set QXPSM_LIB_DIR="C:\Quark\QuarkXPressServer Manager\Server\lib"
Set the value of QXPSM_DEPENDENCIES_DIR to the path of the third-party libraries.
For example: @set QXPSM_DEPENDENCIES_DIR="C:\Quark\QuarkXPressServer
Manager\Server\dependencies
Set the value of VS_COMMON_TOOLS to the path of the Visual Studio common tools.
For example: @set VS_COMMON_TOOLS="C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual
Studio 9.0\Common7\Tools\"
Set the value of QXPSM_OUTPUT_DIR to the output location. For example:
QXPSM_OUTPUT_DIR= "c:\output"
3
Execute the file "Generate.command"/"Generate.bat". The resulting output uses the
following structure.
