Hi Team,

I am trying to transform a ditamap to Webhelp Responsive and get the following error message

Code: Select all

System ID: C:\Program Files\Oxygen XML Author 18\frameworks\dita\DITA-OT2.x\plugins\com.oxygenxml.webhelp\xsl\dita\indexterms\collectIndexterms.xsl
Scenario: DITA Map WebHelp Responsive - Copy (2)
Input file: C:\Users\xxx\Documents\documentation\Projekte\Installation Manual.ditamap
Engine name: DITA-OT
Severity: fatal
Description: Failed to read input file file:///C:/Users/xxx/Documents/documentation/Projekte/temp/webhelp-responsive/oxygen_dita_temp/fullditatopic.list (java.nio.charset.MalformedInputException) Cause: java.nio.charset.MalformedInputException: Input length = 1

Any ideas? What kind of information shall I provide to help solving the problem?

Hello,

Thank you for reporting this problem. This was a bug in the WebHelp transformation process and it was fixed in oXygen 18.1.
It seems that the file name of one of your DITA resources contains non-ASCII characters (e.g.: "ë") and this causes an encoding problem when the application tries to read the fullditatopic.list file.
The fullditatopic.list file is a temporary file of the WebHelp transformation that contains a list of the file names of the processed topic files.
Please upgrade to oXygen 18.1. If this is not possible you may try to identify the file(s) that are causing the transformation to fail and rename them.

Please let me know if you need further assistance.

Regards,
Alin
