We were able to import dita files with conref's to reusable content in ver 13 but with upgrade we lost that functionality. Support couldn't resolve it telling it is by design. Is there anyone who experience similar problem and interested to learn about their workarounds?
Our solution: We are removing the conrefs from the topics and redoing the conrefs after the import. This will add extra cycle time.
There is a setting in %LOCALAPPDATA%\SDL\InfoShare Client\14\Trisoft.ContentImporter.config
(or %LOCALAPPDATA%\RWS... if you have an RWS folder instead of SDL)
<validateReferences>Warning</validateReferences>
that is supposed to cause unresolved references to create a warning rather than failing to import. That might fix the problem.
For example, we use:
<processors>
<dita>
<ditasettings>
<addFormatAttributeToReferences>false</addFormatAttributeToReferences>
<addLanguageAttributeToRoot>true</addLanguageAttributeToRoot>
<addScopeWhenExternalReference>true</addScopeWhenExternalReference>
<convertConditions>true</convertConditions>
<convertDocumentTypes>false</convertDocumentTypes>
<validateReferences>Warning</validateReferences>
</ditasettings>
</dita>
</processors>
<trisoft.contentimporter.settings>
<dita>
<addFormatAttributeToReferences>false</addFormatAttributeToReferences>
<addLanguageAttributeToRoot>true</addLanguageAttributeToRoot>
<addScopeWhenExternalReference>true</addScopeWhenExternalReference>
<convertConditions>true</convertConditions>
<convertDocumentTypes>false</convertDocumentTypes>
<validateReferences>Warning</validateReferences>
</dita>
</trisoft.contentimporter.settings>
That was the first thing we tried with Support team’s recommendation but it didn’t work.
in my end, we create different folder for different type of contents with filemap.xml
then ContentImporter import will create new folder same as source-data folder in TD14.
Reason this failed you import into topics into ISHModule folder and some of Library topic can't import. (expect into ISHibrary folder type in TD14)
hope this helps.
My source-data doesn't contain any library topics. The conref's are pointing to existing content in repository. So, I do not think it will apply to my use-case. Correct me, if I'm wrong.
you said, mixed that is why I thought library/component with data topics. but maybe not..
