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 (Sample: C:\Program Files (x86)\Aras\Innovator\ConversionServerConfig.xml).

  2. Add the following into the section <Converters/>:

    <Converter name="cmf_ExcelPublishingConverter” type="Aras.Cmf.Publishing.Excel.ExcelExportConverter, Aras.Cmf.Publishing” />

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://vabraham02/support/Solutions120SP3/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"/>

     <Converter name="cmf_ExcelPublishingConverter" type="Aras.Cmf.Publishing.Excel.ExcelExportConverter, Aras.Cmf.Publishing" />

                        </Converters>

      </ConversionServer>

      <ConverterSettings>

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

       </ConverterSettings>

</configuration>

  1. Save and close the ConversionServerConfig.xml file.
