Flattening AEM ditamap before custom preset generation

[Mano4]

Hi,

Prior to creating the custom preset, I need the ditamap to be flattened(All files in one single folder without any subdirectories). Can this requirement be met in any way?

I need to use CUSTOM output preset option not AEM sites

Yes @Mano4 this should be possible. You can refer the similar thread for more details - https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/experience-manager-guides/ditaelements-flattening-a...

There is a separate community for AEM Guides as well - https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/experience-manager-guides/ct-p/aem-xml-documentatio...

Thanks

Hi Narendragandhi,

Thanks for providing me reference, I am not going to generate AEM site 

I will be generating using CUSTOM preset before choosing this option I need to flatten the ditamap

Hi Raja,

Thanks for your response. I am looking to flatten the ditamap before generating custom output preset. I am not going to use aem sites.

@Mano4 : you can use Download MAP API (documented [1]) where flattening is an option. With downloaded map you can run the custom DITA-OT plugin.

[1]: check "Initiate export for DITA map with dependents" use parameter flatFS=true
