Configuring Aras Conversion Server

The Aras Publishing Service feature requires that the Conversion Server be configured to enable it.

To enable the service:

1. Open the ConversionServerConfig.xml file for editing.

Typically, this file is located at the root of Aras Innovator code tree, for example:C:\Program Files (x86)\Aras\Innovator\ConversionServerConfig.xml

2. In the <Converters/> tag, add:

<Converter name="tp_XmlPublishingConverter” type="Aras.Publishing.XmlPublishingConverter, Aras.TDF.PublishingConverter"/>

<Converter name="tp_HtmlPublishingConverter” type="Aras.Publishing.HtmlPublishingConverter, Aras.TDF.PublishingConverter"/>

The following is a sample of a ConversionServerConfig.xml file with the required setup:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<configuration>

 <configSections>

 <!-- Common converter service configuration -->

 <section name="ConversionServer” type="Aras.ConversionFramework.ConversionServer.Configuration.ConversionServerConfigurationSection, Conversion.Base"/>

 <sectionGroup name="ConverterSettings">

 <!-- Place here class configuration section definitions for converters --> 

 </sectionGroup>

 </configSections>

 <ConversionServer>

 <InnovatorServer url="http://localhost/InnovatorServer/Server/InnovatorServer.aspx"/>

 <Converters>

 <Converter name="tp_XmlPublishingConverter” type="Aras.Publishing.XmlPublishingConverter, Aras.TDF.PublishingConverter"/> 

 <Converter name="tp_HtmlPublishingConverter” type="Aras.Publishing.HtmlPublishingConverter, Aras.TDF.PublishingConverter"/>

 </Converters>

 </ConversionServer>

 <ConverterSettings>

 <!-- Place here configuration sections for converters -->

 </ConverterSettings>

</configuration>

3. Save and close the ConversionServerConfig.xml file.
4. Confirm that the Conversion Server is configured to run via Aras Agent Service. For details see Section 4.1 of the Aras Innovator 31– Conversion Server Setup Guide.
