Enable map chunking for the QA Plugin

The acme.dita2qareport target is a target that calls the DITA-OT to execute a transformation (in this case, with the qa transtype that is defined by the QA Plugin), but you can use existing Ant tasks to customize this target as necessary.

For example, you can modify the source files before sending them to the DITA-OT or modify the output before sending it back to the end user.

Modifying the map before generating the QA report

To produce the report, the input map must have chunk="to-content" set at its root. You don't want to have to add this each time you want a report for the map and then remove it afterward.

IXIASOFT CCMS Output Generator already includes a target (in conductor-ixia-cr.xml) that chunks an entire map; this target is named dita2xhtmlcr.addchunkattr and is used by the Collaborative Review and Approval creation process. You can use this same target but you must import the conductor-ixia-cr.xml into your conductor-client.xml file.

  1. Add the highlighted line to conductor-client.xml:
    <!-- Import basic init -->
	<import file="outgen-init.xml"/>
	<import file="conductor-ixia-cr.xml"/>
  2. Add the dita2xhtmlcr.addchunkattr target as a dependency to the qa.report target:
    <target name="qa.report" depends="default_dependencies, flatten, resolve_container_keyref, extract_HiRes_images, dita2xhtmlcr.addchunkattr">
  3. Save conductor-client.xml.

    You do not need to restart the Ixiasoft Output Generator service.
