Publish and Validate Actions

These actions initiate a synchronization workflow for the specified catalog. Specify an existing catalog name. This works exactly the same as way as synchronizations initiated from the user interface. These actions do not require any data to be present in the input file. The input file simply acts as a trigger and could be 0 bytes. The most common implementation is to generate a 0-byte file by using the UNIX command ‘touch’. Make sure the file name is unique. This trigger file should be created in the directory identified by the URI.

Note: When the action is specified as Publish, the Catalog element should refer to the synchronization profile name.
