Generating Production Documentation
You can navigate to the Production Documentation page from the following places in the Management Portal:
-
From the Interoperability > List > Productions page, select a production name and click Document.
-
From the Interoperability > Configure > Production page, on the Actions tab for the production, click Document.
From the Production Documentation page for a production, you can generate or view the production documentation, which includes a list of all the business hosts and their settings. Perform one of the following actions:
-
Click View to display the online documentation you previously generated. If you click View and no HTML documentation exists, you can choose to generate it.
-
Click Generate to create new documentation for this production using a background job.
It may take a considerable amount of time to generate documentation for large productions; therefore, you may not want to generate new documentation if you have not made changes to the configuration of your production.
-

You can also generate HTML documentation and, additionally, PDF documentation using the following methods in the Ens.Config.ProductionOpens in a new tab class:
-
CreateDocumentHTML()Opens in a new tab—creates new documentation in HTML format.
For example, to create documentation for Demo.Loan.FindRateProduction in HTML format:
Set status=##class(Ens.Config.Production).CreateDocumentHTML("Demo.Loan.FindRateProduction",1,.URL,.ErrLog) -
RemoveDocumentHTML()Opens in a new tab—removes existing HTML-format documentation from the current namespace.
-
CreateDocumentPDF()Opens in a new tab—creates new documentation as a PDF file.
For example, to create documentation for Demo.Loan.FindRateProduction in PDF format, you can use the method in a statement similar to the following:
Set status=##class(Ens.Config.Production).CreateDocumentPDF("Demo.Loan.FindRateProduction",1,"C:\Temp\Rate.pdf",.Log)The PDF format requires that you have a PDF renderer installed. It also requires Java.
