Add 'Generate new identifiers' option for Generic DITA Content import of Content Importer

From TD15, Standard import of Content Manager is separated; Generic DITA Content and Repository DITA Content. The 'Generate new identifiers' option is available for Repository DITA Content import only.

However, we use special output format that is similar to DITAXML output. This output format aimed at migrating DITA content from a production environment to a test environment and duplicating a publication. The link information, including href and conref, of this output format is based on file path. Therefore, this output format have to be imported Tridion Docs repository using Generic DITA Content. Since the 'Generate new identifiers' option is missing in Generic DITA Content import function, I cannot import DITA content as I expect.

  • Hi Naoki,

    What I remember is that the 'Generate new identifiers' option is respected for both. So if you switch to 'Repository' content, enable the option and switch back to 'Generic DITA content' then it will also be applied. The behavior may have changed in recent versions but definitely worth to try this.
