Prerequisites

Before publishing DITA assets, use these prerequisite checklists to ensure that the CMS is set up for publishing DITA:

• Check General Publishing Prerequisites to be sure that all the steps have been completed to run a publish that does not include DITA, as these steps will need to be in place prior to publishing DITA assets.
  Important

  In particular, be sure that you have marked for publish and checked in all pages and assets you wish to publish.
• Check DITA Publishing Prerequisites to be sure all DITA-specific publishing prerequisites are in place.

You can execute a publish from the DITA Map Manager, from the [[[Site Tree via Asset aliases]]], or from the Assets Tree. This section describes the DITA publishing steps from the Assets Tree.

If all prerequisites are in place and you are having trouble with publishing DITA assets, see Troubleshooting DITA Collections for solutions to your DITA publishing issue.

Once administrators have configured Ingeniux CMS to publish DITA assets, the CMS will guide you through the DITA publishing process. During this process, you will be configuring the following:

• Publishing target(s) to receive the generated output.
• Scope of publish (i.e., full or incremental).
• DITA map(s) to publish.
• Output types.
• DITAVAL files (if any) to publish.
