DITA OT 1.8.5 Batch file to execute DITA OT command on remote server

[nilesh k]

Hello All,

I am newbie to DITA OT world. Appreciate your help to my below query.

Attached are the batch files which we used with DITA OT 1.5.3 version and they worked well. 

Since we wish to move to the latest version of DITA OT i need to write

such batch files to generate the output. I have tried to tweak the file "startDita2OutputCT1.8.5" to suit version 1.8.5 but no luck. I have also tried simple batch file "startDita2OutputCT2.2.2" for version 2.2.2 but this also fails.

Please note that when execute these commands from command line, i get the desired output. 

Thanks in advance.

Below is the Error message i get:

Hi,

In the DITA OT "lib" library there are a bunch of JAR libraries (among which the xercesImpl JAR which seems to be missing in your case) which need to be added in the Java class path from the scripts you are using to start everything.

Regards,

Radu

xercesImpl.jar file is available in lib folder. There is one more xercesImpl-2.7.1.jar file available @dita-ot1.8.5\plugins\org.dita.pdf2\fop\lib.

Not sure whats wrong here.This is how my batch file looks like:

[Radu Coravu]

I'm just saying that your script's CLASSPATH should also contain links to all those libraries in the DITA OT lib folder (it contains links to some of them but not to the Xerces library).

[nilesh k]

That was helpful. 

One question: There is no folder called as Saxon in DITA OT 2.2.2. How should i form the above batch file?

Should i keep only CLASSPATH for \lib\*.jar files?

[Radu Coravu]

I'm not sure that you can use "*" wildcards in classpath entries.

So you should probably add individual references to all necessary JAR libraries.
