Yogesh,

The Layout Server is a service that needs to be loaded in order the run the Publisher. It acts as the connector between the Publisher and the database. You should have an install file for MDMLayoutServer.exe. This can be installed locally on the PC with the Publisher, or on a server that the Publisher PC can connect to.

Thanks,

hi yogesh,

To publish your catalog, prior to that you have to create layout for the records(how the product should be shown i.e layout design) could be done in layout server.

Prior to MDM SP4, we have layout mode, in that mode we will design the layout, --- hope this will help you.
