Configuring Aras Conversion Server

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

Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Package (x64):

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads

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:
