Installing new or updated DTDs on the server

Content Manager keeps the DITA grammar files in a central location on the server: $\Web\Author\ASP\DocTypes\.

The DTDs are used for validation purposes by the following components of the system:
  • Content Manager
  • Desktop client applications (Publication Manager, Content Importer, etc.)
  • XML editors
  • the DITA Open Toolkit (DITA-OT)
Furthermore, the schemas are used for validation purposes by the following components:
  • Draft Space
  • Review Space

DTDs and DITA-OT

To make sure that the DITA-OT is using the correct copy of the DTDs, the catalog file delivered with the DITA-OT has been customized to indicate the location of the DTDs as described above. This file can be found on the server: $\App\Utilities\DITA-OT\InfoShare\catalog-dita_template.xml.
