Packaging and Deploying

Using a file explorer, go to the Oxygen XML Author [OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR]/frameworks directory. Select the sdf directory and make an archive from it. Move it to another Oxygen XML Author installation (eventually on another computer). Extract it in the [OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR]/frameworks directory. Start Oxygen XML Author and test the association as explained above.

If you create multiple document type associations and you have a complex directory structure it might be easy from the deployment point of view to use an Oxygen XML Author All Platforms distribution. Add your framework files to it, repackage it and send it to the content authors.

Attention: When deploying your customized sdf directory, make sure that your sdf directory contains the sdf.framework file (that is the file defined as External Storage in the Document Type Association preferences page shall always be stored inside the sdf directory). If your external storage points somewhere else Oxygen XML Author will not be able to update the Document Type Association options automatically on the deployed computers.
