How to use the Publish option to generate all the files necessary to deploy the map on a Web server
Publish
The Publish option will generate all the files necessary to deploy the map on a Web server, including the viewer configuration file, themes, print layout and data. You can also publish each of these individually by using the drop-down menu.
x
During the publishing process, a virtual server is created to allow you to view the results locally in your default Web browser. The URL to view the map will have the following format: http://localhost:XXXXX/index.html. You can reopen this local map using the Open HTML (on page 109) option.
Several settings may be required when publishing:
Configuring the Windows Firewall is required when publishing for the first time. This is required to create a virtual server on the computer and allow you to preview published maps locally.
x
The map identifier must be set to create an output folder for the published map.

The font used in the map may have to be converted to the appropriate Web format. If this is the case, a MS-DOS window may be visible for a couple of seconds. No action is required.
