Parameters set in the pipeline configuration file are not passed to the DITA-OT Server

Condition

You need to pass parameters to the DITA-OT Server but none of them are taken into account.

Cause

The parameters are set in the pipeline configuration file. They should be set in a DITA-OT property file.

Remedy

  1. Remove all parameters related to the DITA-OT configuration from the pipeline configuration file.
  2. In the pipeline configuration file, add the option called propertyfile and provide a path to a DITA-OT property file>.
    ...
          <option>
            <name>propertyfile</name>
            <value>alfresco:/Sites/my-sample-site/documentLibrary/dita-ot.properties</value>
          </option>
    ...
  3. Add all needed parameters in the DITA-OT property file following DITA-OT formalization.

    The propertyfile is defined in the DITA-OT documentation:
