The WebPAC is a dynamic product that allows your library to offer the community the most current presentation and content. To accomplish this,
customization of the WebPAC can be a constant series of updates. Whether the goal is to introduce the WebPAC for the first time or to adopt changes
to the existing WebPAC, there is a workflow you can use to ensure the changes you introduce are distributed in a timely fashion with the least
margin for error.
This image demonstrates the simple yet powerful means for ensuring that patrons view the library catalog exactly the way you intend.
There are two ports available for viewing the WebPAC. Port 80 is the live port that is accessible by patrons. Port 2082 is the staging port or
testing ground to see how proposed changes look without exposing those changes to the public. The port number follows a colon (":") when
entering the URL address of the library catalog.
For example: http://mylibrary.iii.com:2082
NOTE: All ports other than the live port must be identified in the IP
address. The live port (port 80) is the default and is not required in
the IP address.
When you have made a significant number of changes to the staging port and are prepared to transfer the entire directory to the live port, the
most efficient method is to Replace Live with Staging via the following path in telnet:
A > ADDITIONAL system functions
A > ALTER system parameters
S > SYSTEM codes
W > Edit WWW HTML Screens
L > Replace LIVE With Staging Files
NOTE Running this command is not reversible. Remember to archive the contents of the live directory to recover the older version of the live port.
For additional information, refer to the Innovative Guide & Reference, Page # 105646: Overwriting the Live Directory with the Staging Directory.
If you have made changes to a small number of files on the staging port that you want to go live, use Web Master mode in Millennium Administration to move the file(s) from the staging
directory to your desktop and again from your desktop to the live directory.
