Generating a Web Site
Objective
A static Web site makes it easy to share content from the HOPEX repository via an intranet with people who do not have access to HOPEX. Hence, they can view the objects of a project as read-only HTML pages.
Generating a Web site on a regular basis ensures continuous synchronization with the most up-to-date data from the repository.
With this feature, you can:
• Generate a Web site immediately
• Schedule a one-time generation
• Schedule a recurring generation
Prerequisites
