Hi,

I am a beginner in using Oxygen XML Editor and have been trying multiple times to output the glossary into a webhelp but have been encountering the below error which cites "failed to run pipeline", "failed to process copy-to attributes" and "The system cannot find the file specified":

Not sure what is causing the error.

Here's how I configured the XMLs:

Hi,

In most cases, this could happen if there are resources located outside of your DITA Map, or some unreferenced key definitions.
The first thing you should do to debug this is to validate your DITA Map. Use the Validate and Check for Completion action available in the toolbar from the DITA Maps Manager view, to find such references or orphaned key definitions, either local or remote.

See the attached picture with the options you should have in the dialog:
