Configure the version of the DITA-OT used by default

The Output Generator now includes the outgen-init.properties file, which defines the default DITA-OT used to generate output for the transformation scenarios.

In particular, this file defines:
  • The version of the DITA-OT that will be used to generate the IXIASOFT and DITA-OT transformation scenarios that are stored in the conductor-ixia.xml and conductor-ot.xml files.
  • The version of the DITA-OT used for your client transformation scenarios, unless you override the outgen.ot.version property in the conductor file (e.g., in your conductor-client.xml client conductor file). The value of the outgen.ot.version property set in the conductor file takes precedence over all other values defined for this property.
To set a default DITA-OT version:
  1. Open the %OutputGenDir%/data/outgen-init.properties file.
    Note: If this is the first time that you are modifying the outgen-init.properties file, open the outgen-init.properties.orig file and save it as outgen-init.properties (remove the .orig suffix).
  2. Set the value of the outgen.ot.version property to the default DITA-OT you want to use.
    For example:
    # Property file for the ANT scripting
# Any property defined in this file will have priority over any other
# property defined in any ANT script file, except for the one defined in the
# wrapper.conf in the section "Java Additional Parameters".

outgen.ot.version=1.8.5
#The outgen.ot.release.family property is now optional
#outgen.ot.release.family=2.x
  3. Save and close the file.
