Publishing Promotions

In a data replication environment promotions created on the editing system need to be published to the target system. This is performed either automatically in the context of the regular data replication process (see What Is Data Replication? or Data Replication Task Management) or manually designating promotions to be published on the live system.

Manually publishing promotions (that is, publishing your promotion to a live system immediately) can be performed in two ways:

Selecting a promotion to publish from a list
Publishing the promotion from the detail view.

Publishing Promotions from the List View

To publish a promotion manually from a list of promotions, perform the following steps:

Select the channel from the context selection box, then select Marketing | Promotions.
This displays the list of all promotions in the current sales channel.
Select either Select All or click the checkbox next to the promotion(s) you want to publish.
Click Publish to Live System.
This displays the list of configured target systems.
Select the intended target system and click Finish.
The promotions you have selected are published to the selected target system.

Publishing Promotions from the Detail View

To publish a promotion manually from the detail view, perform the following steps:

Select the channel from the context selection box, then select Marketing | Promotions.
This displays the list of all promotions in the current sales channel.
Click the name of a promotion to view its details.
This opens the General tab of the detail view.
Change to the Properties tab.
Click Publish to Live System.
This displays the list of configured target systems.
Select the intended target system and click Finish.
The promotions you have selected are published to the selected target system.
