Redeploying the existing version of the Project

If you want Project updates to be applied to both future documents and to already paused Messages in the Message storage, you can redeploy the existing Project to the same StreamServer application. For example, if you correct a spelling error in the StoryTeller document.

Note:

Applying Project changes to paused Messages in the Message storage could affect the rendering or other logic of the output.

Note:

Not all Project changes can be applied to paused Messages. For example, if you add a new section to the StoryTeller template, this section will not be rendered in paused Messages.

Note:

Some updates are always reflected when applying Project changes to paused Messages. For example, if you remove a section from the StoryTeller template, this section will no longer be rendered in paused Messages.

Do not modify the Service name in the Runtime Message settings dialog box and redeploy the Project to the same StreamServer application. If the Service name is modified, you can no longer preview and release the paused documents in the Ad Hoc and Reviewer applications. End of warning

To redeploy the existing version of the Project

See Redeploying the existing version of the Project in the Composition Center documentation.

Consequences for new documents

The Project modifications are applied to all future documents.

If the Project modification results in an increased StoryTeller template version, all document definitions based on this template are automatically unpublished. After being republished, the document definition based on the updated StoryTeller template is used when creating new documents.

Consequences for already paused Messages

The type of Project modification decides whether the updates are applied to already paused Messages in the Message storage.

Event modifications not related to the template

You can delete, rename, or add fields in the Event configuration without affecting the StoryTeller template version. The following applies:

•	If you delete a field, the field is no longer used in the paused Messages.

•	If you rename a field, the field is no longer used in the paused Messages.

•	If you add a field, the paused Messages are not affected. However, if you add the new field to the StoryTeller document, the field will be empty in the paused Messages.

If you delete or rename a field used in StoryTeller, you must open and update the StoryTeller document accordingly. If not, the output documents will be corrupt. End of warning

Note:

If you concatenate several Events, you cannot do any Event changes without creating a new version of the Project and thereby increase the StoryTeller template version.

StoryTeller document modifications not related to the template

If you update the StoryTeller document in a way that does not affect the template, the template version is not increased. For example, if you update a text in the StoryTeller document. The changes are applied to the paused Messages in the Message storage.

Modifications related to the template

If a Project modification results in an updated StoryTeller template version, all document definitions based on this template are automatically unpublished. For example, if you add a new section to the StoryTeller template.

An already paused Message is still previewed and approved using the original document definition, based on the original StoryTeller template. Note that Event modifications and StoryTeller document modifications not related to the template are applied to the Message (as described above).

Note:

Because the Message uses the original document definition, it can be previewed and released before the document definition is republished.
