Checking CMS Publishing Logs for Post Processed DITA

Check the CMS publishing logs to review the assets included within the CMS publish, the DITA output files included within post-publish processing, and, if applicable, post-publish processing errors. These logs may provide details about where errors reside and what the errors entail. By reviewing the post-processed output files, users can also assess if the system omitted assets that were expected to go through processing.

  1. Choose one of the following steps:
    • Navigate to Administration > Publishing Logs.
      Version Notes: CMS 10.6
