Error While Publishing Eclipse Help with Glossary

[visagan santhanam]

Hi.

We are using DITA OT 2.0 to publish Eclipse Help with Glossary. While Publishing we get the error message "Error: Failed to run pipeline: null". i have attached the Glossary and Ditamap for refference. Any Help would be appreciated.

Regards

Hi,

I added an issue for this here:

https://github.com/dita-ot/dita-ot/issues/1885

Have you tried using a glossgroup to hold all your DITA glossentries? Using a DITA composite is quite a strange way to do this.

Hi,

Can you try processing the file glossary.dita with just a plain DITA map or Eclipse map instead.  The Eclipse Help pipeline was not designed to handle a bookmap as an input, since the structure is quite a bit different.  If trying to reuse the same content for multiple outputs, it's best to have a DITA Map define the structure, then use specific maps specializations for various outputs.

Kind regards,

Eric

Hi,

as mentioned by Eric Sirois, i tried using DITA map instead of Bookmap. But still the issue remains. 

----------------------------------------------------------

<map id="taskbook" format="dita">

<title>Glossary</title>

    <glossref href="Glossary.dita" keys="glossary-a" type="glossgroup" print="yes" >  </glossref>

</map>

Hi,

Did you try to use a DITA <glossgroup> to contain all <glossentry> elements instead of a <dita> composite?

Regards,

Radu

Apologies to resurrect this. Yeah I took a peek at how we did things when I was at IBM, and we just had the glossentry within a reference topic type.  I think you should be fine with anything other than the <dita> composite doctype.

I'm double checking with my former colleagues on how we did thing.  Reference wasn't it since it doesn't allow glossentry, but I don't think it was the composite document either.  I will update this once I get a response back.

It looks like IBM DB2 did not use the glossary specialization.  It used definition lists to implement something like a glossary.
