You can stop forwarding events at any time. To configure the Forwarding service to send events to another service: 1. Open the CPS Console, if it's not already open (see "Accessing the Contribute Publishing Server Console" on page 5). If the Website Settings options are not showing, select Website Settings from the Service Settings list on the left. The Website Settings options appear in the CPS Console. 3. Select the website you want to use this service from the Website pop-up menu. Click the Other Services tab. The Other Services options appear. 5. Do either of the following: To start forwarding website events to a custom service, click the Add button, enter the URL for your service in the Add Forwarding Service dialog box, and then click OK. Tip: The URL for the Simple File Deployment service is: https://localhost:8900/contribute/ customservices/filedeployer/events. cfm. The URL for the RSS Activity Feed service is: https:// localhost:8900/contribute/customservices/rssfeed/events. cfm. To stop forwarding website events to a custom service, select the URL in the Service URL list, and then click the Delete button above the list. Note: If you're using an Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) server, you need to import the server's certificate to the CPS certificate store. 6. Click Save Settings to save your settings.

There are also two other services that you can use as they are, or you can extend to meet your needs. Using the CPS API, you can extend an existing service, or you can write custom services to add more server-side functionality. This chapter contains the following sections: · · · · · · "Contribute Publishing Server API overview" on page 15 "Creating a custom publishing service" on page 17 "About extending the Simple File Deployment service" on page 20 "About extending the RSS Activity Feed service" on page 22 "API data types" on page 22 "Web service methods" on page 23 Contribute Publishing Server API overview Contribute Publishing Server has components of a server application that run on a server. When you enable a website to use CPS, you specify the address of this server. This instructs all the Contribute clients that interact with that website to send a stream of event data to CPS. These events (editing, publishing, sending for review, and so on) represent users' actions and are transmitted as Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) web service messages. For example, the Logging service logs the event data to a file on the server, and the E-mail Notification service e-mails users about pages sent for review. The User Directory service uses a separate web service API for extending how Contribute selects, authenticates, and retrieves connections for users. 15 Note: Custom services are supported through the Forwarding service, which passes along the event data through additional web service invocations.
