Why do my Build Manifests not appear in the Generate Output window for CCMS Web?

The build manifest Mode needs to be set to either MANUAL or BOTH.

Description

After upgrading to MadCap IXIA CCMS 6.6, my build manifests do not appear in the Generate Output window.

Solution

The default mode when creating a new build manifest is PRODUCTION unless you pick a different mode. Build manifests that have the Mode set to PRODUCTION or DEBUG are used for the Nightbuild feature and are not available for use in IXIA CCMS Web. Only the types MANUAL or BOTH are available in IXIA CCMS Web. Change the Mode for the build manifests to MANUAL or BOTH.

If you have many existing build manifests to update, you can do the following:
  1. In IXIA CCMS Desktop, lock the build manifests that need to be updated.
  2. On your computer, find where the build manifests were saved to in your workspace directory.

    For example, C:\ixiasoft-ccms\workspaces\username\Prod-Admin\REPOSITORY\username\hostname\docbase\content\authoring

    You can also find their location by searching for a build manifest's filename.

  3. Perform a search and replace with Notepad++ on the build manifests.
  4. In IXIA CCMS Desktop, release the build manifests.
