I'm wondering if it is possible to generate PDF output using the default PDF plugin in DITA-OT 3.6 if setting "store-type" to "memory". I'm getting the following error if I run it using that option:

Error: java.nio.file.NoSuchFileException: {path_to_temp_folder}\.job.xml

If it is not possible are there any plans to allow it. I am looking at running the DITA-OT on the cloud and the documentation states "In-memory processing provides performance advantages in I/O bound environments such as cloud computing platforms". Any feedback appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi Paul,

I suspect you've run into the following recently filed issue:

Hi Chris,

I did see that issue but the error is different so I presumed it might not be related. Thanks for the prompt response.

Hi Paul,

Just to make sure maybe you can post more details about the error, attach a part of the DITA OT console output for example which might show in what ANT build file or XSLT stylesheet the error occurred.

Hi Radu,

Here is the information you requested. When I run the following command from the command line:

./dita --input /usr/local/temp/dita_content/test.ditamap --output=/usr/local/temp/dita_content --format=pdf --temp=/usr/local/temp/temp/dita_content/dita_temp_dir --generate-debug-attributes=true --parallel=true --store-type=memory --debug=true > ./log.txt 

I get the following error:

Error: java.nio.file.NoSuchFileException: /usr/local/temp/temp/dita_content/dita_temp_dir/.job.xml

I have attached the output log file for review. Thanks.

Paul

Hi Paul,

I reproduced the problem on my side and added extra details on this issue:

https://github.com/dita-ot/dita-ot/issues/3671

so for now "--store-type=memory" does not work with DITA OT 3.6 but maybe it will be fixed in DITA OT 3.6.1.
