Hi Ted, By default the catalogs are used to solve the DITA DTD's both for transforming using the DITA OT and for editing/validating inside Oxygen. So I am not entirely sure this is the way to speed up processing. What are the modifications that you made? Can you send us the DOCTYPE declaration which you use for 'reference/api_cubitmethods.xml' ? The DOCTYPE for a DITA reference should look like this: <!DOCTYPE reference PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA Reference//EN" "http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.1/OS/dtd/reference.dtd"> and it should get solved through the catalog entry: <public publicId="-//OASIS//DTD DITA Reference//EN" uri="reference.dtd"/> to a local DTD relative to the catalog file. Also, if you add catalogs in the "Preferences > Author > XML > XML Catalog" preferences page they only will be used for editing/validating/content completion inside Oxygen. The DITA Open Toolkit transformations only look at the "/com.oxygenxml.author_11.0.0/frameworks/dita/DITA-OT/catalog-dita.xml" catalog file. Also it would be helpful if you send us the entire console output generated by Oxygen when the transformation fails. You can disable your network connection to make the transformation fail faster.

I'm trying to speed up processing by pointing to the catalog file, but it seems clear that the processor is instead going to the OASIS site. I noticed this when I suddenly started getting 403 errors from the OASIS site. Here's some OT processor output that seems to confirm my suspicion:

[pipeline] [DOTJ013E][ERROR] Failed to parse the referenced file 'reference/api_cubitmethods.xml' due to below exception. Please correct the reference base on the exception message. [pipeline] Server returned HTTP response code: 403 for URL: http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.1/OS/dtd/reference.dtd

Here's the catalog entry that I think should tell the processor to use the local resource before going to the OASIS site. This is copied from /com.oxygenxml.author_11.0.0/frameworks/dita/DITA-OT/catalog-dita.xml

<public publicId="-//OASIS//DTD DITA Reference//EN" uri="reference.dtd"/> <public publicId="-//OASIS//DTD DITA 1.x Reference//EN" uri="reference.dtd"/> <public publicId="-//OASIS//DTD DITA 1.2 Reference//EN" uri="reference.dtd"/>

And here is the setting in Preferences > Author > XML > XML Catalog that, as I understand it, points the processor to the local copy of the DTD rather than the OASIS copy: ${frameworks}/dita/catalog.xml

So (leaving aside for the moment the question of why I suddenly started getting 4.3 errors from the OASIS site), what setting have I set incorrectly and how can I get the processor to use the local copy of the DTDs?
