Launching DITA-OT post-processing

Describes the steps that are launched from the default publish script.

The default configured script, C:\InfoShare\DataDITA\PublishingService\Tools\Publish.wsf (Windows Script Host) is responsible for launching the following steps:
  1. Loads the job ticket parameters into variables in memory.
  2. Copies the files to a workset directory for further processing. As such, the original files are not touched and can be used over and over again when developing.
  3. Resolved the DTD for each XML file.

    This is done using the catalog that is configured on the server.

  4. Changes the extension of exported maps from *.xml to *.ditamap.

    DITA-OT requires that the file extension of the map is *.ditamap.

  5. The Content Manager logical identifier links (GUIDs) in the XML files are changed to a file path.
  6. DITA-OT is launched for building the requested output.

    The batch file DITA-OT-<transtype>.cmd is executed.
