IBM Workflow Manager: an automated build environment - Guillaume Delory at DITA-OTDay 2024
Disclaimer: All data shown in the demo are dummy data and do not represent any real documentation.
In this presentation, I will talk about what IBM has been doing the last 5 years with DITA, and how we integrated the DITA-OT as the center piece of our automated build system for technical documentation, called IBM Workflow Manager (WFM). WFM is a cloud based solution meant to automatically build DITA files stored in GitHub (possibility from multiple repositories), test Accessibility, and publish the outputs to their final location (either IBM Documentation website at ibm.com/docs or other channel like Box or sFTP servers). It also connects to communication channels like Slack to give real-time feedback on any failure that might happen. Along with edit links based on Oxygen Web Author, it creates a 0 click user experience where users can edit their documentation from their browser, and see the output live a few minutes later.
