Export a Guide from Workbench to use as a component in an Enterprise
Platform application.
Workbench does not support exporting Guides that were created
using a previous version of Workbench. To export a Guide that was
created using a previous version of Workbench, upgrade the Guide
and then export it. For information about upgrading a Guide, see (Deprecated) Upgrading Guides.
In your Flash Builder application, use the Guide component
to render the exported Guide. The Guide component is a Flex
component that renders a Guide.
For information about developing applications in Flash Builder,
see Using Flash Builder 4.5.
For information about using the Guide component in an Enterprise
Platform application, see Add a Guide to an Enterprise Platform project.
Use the Guide component if you previously loaded Guides using
LiveCycle ES Update 1 and the Flex SWFLoader.
Note: Guides that are rendered as a component cannot include a document,
such as a read-only document of record or an interactive PDF file.
What is exported?
When you export a Guide,
Workbench generates a resolved Guide on your computer. The resolved
Guide includes a folder structure that mirrors the structure in
the Applications view. The folders contain updated versions of all
the assets that the Guide references. The referenced assets can
be in the same application or in other applications, such as the Guides (system) application.
When
you export a Guide, you can also export one or more localized versions
of the Guide. To export a localized version of a Guide, there must
be an XLF file in the same folder as the Guide.
The exported
Guide includes several folders:
<Guide name>.guide
contains the Guide files:
- catalog.xml
- Defines the assets that the Guide references.
- <Guide name>_GuideExperience.xml
- Lists the Guide properties that are defined in Workbench.
- mimetype
- A system-generated file.
- <data model name>.swf
- The data model compiled as a SWF file.
<Guide name>.<locale>.guide contains
localized versions of the Guide files. There is one folder for each
locale that you export.
A folder for the Guide’s application, such as /MyApplication/1.0/.
It contains referenced assets from the application, such as the
data model, sample data, custom styles, or images.
A folder for each external application that contains referenced
assets. For example, /Guides (system)/2.0/Styles/swf/CobaltStandard.swf.
If
you export multiple Guides to the same folder, they can share assets.
For example, if two Guides reference the same CobalStandard.swf
file, export them to the same folder. Only one copy of the shared
asset, CobaltStandard.swf, is exported.
Export a Guide from Workbench
In Workbench,
export a Guide to a folder on your computer. After you export a Guide,
you can use it as a component in a rich Internet application.
In the Applications view, right-click the Guide, and then
click Export.
Select the folder where you want to export the Guide.
A Guide can support multiple locales:
If the
Guide supports multiple locales, click Next, select the locale,
and then click Finish.
If the Guide does not support multiple locales, click Finish.
