Publishing Profile Definition Changes on Your Web Site

You must publish profile definition changes before you can add data to new profile properties. You use the Publish Profiles module to update your Web site with your latest changes. In most e-commerce installations, these changes are first made to a test site, and then at a scheduled times, the changes are published to your production site. Contact your system administrator for information about when and how changes are made to your production site.

You must have access to the Profiles modules to make changes to site terms, profile definitions, and profiles. For information about Business Desk permissions, see About Business Desk Security.

Notes

• Publish profile changes to your Web site on off-peak hours. If you publish profile changes during a high usage time, you will bring down your site.

To publish profile changes

1. In Profiles, click Publish Profiles.

2. In the Publish Profiles screen, select the site to which you want to publish profile definition changes, and then click on the toolbar.

   Notes

   • If multiple Web servers serve your site, you must publish profile definition changes to each Web server.
   • To refresh the status list of servers, click on the toolbar. Resetting the refresh status does not reset or roll back changes that have been previously published.

Profile definition changes are published to your Web site.
