Understanding Bursting File(.bcf)

Hi Experts,

I am finding it difficult to configure bursting files. Any change made to the .bcf are not reflected the CMS.

I am trying to burst my bookmap document into chapters when they are stored in Windchill, but I am not able to do so.

Please help me understand how this burst configuration concept works.

I have created a new bursting folder and added it to the system variable as APTOBJCFG.

I am uploading the .bcf files I am using.

    Hi,

    Glad you got it to burst at the chapter.

    Looking at your bcf, you have a leading "/". This isn't necessary because the adapter will look within the current context where the user is signed into. It is a relative path to the root folder of the product or library. So, if your context is a library named "Arbortext_Test", then your location would simply be Arbortext_Test/topics.

    Further, I didn't see any namerule or typerule definitions. If you don't have any subtypes, then typerule isn't necessary, but I would assume you would want to control the name of the bursted content with namerules.

    Hope that helps!

    Have you configured a burst log? This will help triage issues with burst configuration.

    Set a Windows env. variable called APTBURSTLOG to a location you can access. It must be a fully qualified path with a filename (i.e. C:\burst.log).

    There are other log files you can set, too, but this is a good one to start.

    Set the burst log and run the job again. Post back the log results if you still have trouble.

    What version of Arbortext are you running? It should tell you which config files are being used.
