14. Basic Deployment Logic Generate Output Deployment Parameter? Deploy the DITA OT End Configure Output DITA OT Exists? Yes Yes No No

16. Deployment Parameters Setting Result DITA_OT_BUILD_DIR = <path> e.g. DITA_OT_BUILD_DIR = C:ITA_OT_TestBed Meant for “admin” usage. Location to create a deployable copy of the DITA OT in. Must have write permission to create folder. Automatically copies all needed folders: DITA_OT, RenderX and Saxon from installed copy of DITA OT. With this setting enabled the DITA OT will also run from this location (if run permissions are enabled). Do not use to run from a server (except 1 person at a time) otherwise sharing violations will occur. DITA_OT_DIR = <path>ITA_OT e.g. DITA_OT_DIR = M:haredFolderITA_OT Specifies the location of the OT to deploy from. Default path is the “installed” copy. RenderX and Saxon folders are found relative to this location (same level). May be a network share. Should avoid many users at once to reduce sharing violations. OT runs on local machine after deployment. cmd_dita_ot_per_user_version = # If # is larger than previous value forces OT redeployment. cmd_dita_ot_per_user_version = disable Disables OT deployment.

17. Other Useful Parameters Setting Result cmd_always_open_log = yes Log file opens by default after generating output (“Open the output log file” checkbox is checked). cmd_synchro_mode = 2 Allows immediate return to editing in XMetaL Author Enterprise while OT generates output in a different detached thread.
