Configure which elements have ixia_locid added

The locidclasses.xml file in the system configuration enables you to determine to which elements the IXIA CCMS adds the @ixia_locid attribute when a topic is released or moves from one specified state to another, as configured in your system configuration.

About this task

The @ixia_locid attribute provides a unique identifier to match elements during the comparison of the previous and current source content, to make sure that the right elements are compared. The element list in locidclasses.xml includes all elements that the localization process supports. You can remove any elements that you do not want to uniquely identify.

Important: Make configuration changes in a test environment and confirm they work before copying them to a production environment.

Procedure

  1. In the TEXTML Administration perspective, connect to your server.
  2. Locate the locidclasses.xml file in the repository's /system/conf collection.
  3. Check out the file and open it for editing.
  4. Delete or comment out the <class> element for each element you do not want to receive a @ixia_locid attribute.

    Each <class> element includes any elements specialized from that base element. For example, <step> is specialized from <li> so the <class desc=" topic/li "/> element includes <step> as well. For this reason, be careful when removing lines from this file as you might inadvertently remove the @ixia_locid attribute from elements where you still need it.

  5. Save, close, and check in the file.
  6. Inform users of the changes.
    The changes are automatically applied once users close and then reopen their CCMS Desktop. Users can also apply the changes without restarting their CCMS Desktop by clicking IXIA CCMS > Synchronize Configuration. Additionally, refresh IXIA CCMS Web so that users see the change reflected there.
