Export content
You can export content from IXIA CCMS Desktop so that it is available outside of the system.
For example, you can export the content and send your DITA source to a customer or external user. Or you could export it to build output using a standalone DITA Open Toolkit as a troubleshooting measure.
Important: IXIASOFT does not recommend exporting content from
CCMS Desktop with the intention of
performing external edits and re-importing. While CCMS Desktop does support this from a functional standpoint,
you run the risk of losing revision history and potentially overwriting any changes
that occurred within CCMS Desktop after
the content was exported. The re-import is an overwrite, not a merge.
Within the zip file, the exported content is in the
content\authoring subfolder. This subfolder contains a
number of items other than the content itself. For each exported object, the
following files are provided:
- *.properties
- *.customproperties
- *.indexedcontent
Important: If you are sending the content to a third party to generate their
own output, you must also send the following plugins from the Output Generator:
- com.ixiasoft.dita.dtd
- org.oasis-open.dita.mathml.doctypes
- com.ixiasoft.images
- org.w3c.mathml3
