Components not Reusable Components

[jasowen]

The Components tab in the DITA Reusable Components view does not list any items when working with DITA content stored in Tridion Docs. The Components tab shows a message saying "There are no reusable components of type []", followed by instructions on how to define a reusable component file, and then a bulleted list of topics in the map that have reusable components.
The root map is correctly selected in the Root map list in Maps Manager. The references in the root map that contain the reusable components all have @processing-role="resource-only".
The version of oXygen Author is 20.1. The version of Tridion Docs is 13.0.2, with SDL Tridion Docs - Authoring Bridge 13.0.2.
Please let me know what other information I can provide.

Hi Jason,

Honestly we have not tested our Reusable Components list to see how it works with CMS integrations.
Is the root map also opened in the "DITA Maps Manager" view?
In the Oxygen Preferences->"Open/Find Resource" page there is also a checkbox called "Enable indexing for remote resources". Could you also check that and then go to the Reusable Components list, find the top right drop-down button which looks like a cogwheel and use the "Reindex" action?

Regards,
Radu

The root map is open in the Maps Manager view.
I changed the preference in the Oxygen Preferences->"Open/Find Resource" page so that the checkbox called "Enable indexing for remote resources" is selected. I reopened oXygen and the root map and that forced the reindexing of the map in the Reusable Components view. The results are the same as before, where the reusable components are not listed in the Components tab of that view.
Note that I don't see an option in the Reusable Components view to force the reindexing of maps. The gear icon shows just one option for "Compact mode".

Hi Jason,

I suspect that it has something to do with the default ignore filters. Please go to Options->Preferences... on page Open/Find Resource. On the Ignore content of these files* remove the token: */temp/* . Exit with OK and check if the components are presented.

Best regards,
Alex

Thanks for the suggestion. The change was applied but the behavior remains as before. In the Ignore content of these files field, */temp/*, was removed. I tried removing all values from that field to see if that made a difference but it did not change the behavior.

Hi Jason,

I've tested some more and I've found another possible cause. Apparently, we need these topics to have either an "xml" or a "dita" extension and inside SDL they don't have any extension whatsoever. I will add an issue to fix this because we already know that they are DITA reusable topics so the extension should not matter and we will include the fix in version 21.1 which is due to be released in a couple of week. Please let me know if you would like a beta version so you can confirm that it's working before the official release.

Best regards,
Alex

Hello,

Just wanted to update this thread by announcing that oXygen 21.1 is out now, and it comes with the fix that Alex mentioned in the previous post.

Best wishes,
