Making Categorized Content Available on Other Sites

You can use the Application Engine process to make retrieved content available on other sites. To accomplish this, after you have run the Application Engine process on the main site, create a folder on the other site that uses the same content source as the main site. Then, run the Application Engine process while on the other site using the same run control ID as the main site. The system determines if the content already exists and marks it as located in both sites.

To make content on one site available from another site:

  1. Run the Application Engine process on the main site.

    Make a note of the Application Engine process run control ID for use later.

  2. On the other site, create a folder in categorized content that specifies the same content source as the main site.

  3. Run the Application Engine process on the other site specifying the same run control ID that you used on the main site.

    After you successfully run the Application Engine process, the subfolders and files viewed on the main site are available on this site. Notice that the content IDs for the files are the same as they are on the main site, indicating that the content is shared, not copied to the second site.
