Glossary
Access control list – For each WCM object, users, groups, roles, and
group-roles that have access to this object can be specified. The
individual access rights are specified separately for each principal
authorized to access the object. Also called ACL.
ACL – Access Control List
Action – Step required to manage website objects. It generally results in a
change in status of the object in question.
Asynchronous action – An asynchronous action returns almost
immediately after it has been called. It does not wait for processing of the
associated tasks to finish. See also Synchronous action.
Check in – Staging action of Livelink WCM Server. An object that has
been checked out and edited is returned to the WCM system by the action
“Check in”. This makes the changes visible in the Edit view. The object is
combined with the template again and is available for further editing.
Check out – Staging action of Livelink WCM Server. The content of a
WCM object can only be edited after the object has been checked out. A
checked-out object is locked for access by other users. The changes to
the object do not become available in the Edit view until the object has
been checked in.
Data storage view – The data storage view of a server refers to the
aspects of the WCM objects that are currently available (Edit view, QA
view, Production view). The data storage view available on a server is
determined in the routing settings of the website.
Deployment – Deployment is the distribution of data. The deployment of
Livelink WCM Server performs two main tasks: first, generating pages
from the WCM objects stored in the database and distributing the
generated files to the appropriate directories; second, notifying the WCM
servers of changes in the WCM system.
