Hello!
Consider the following scenario:
1) XML dynamicdocument "a" references (cross-ref) XML dynamic document "b".
2) A new publication structure is created, where the author inserts "a" but forgot to insert also "b".
==> BAD RESULT: The cross-reference from a -> b won't be resolved during publishing.
From our point of view, a completeness-checker for a pub-struct is a MUST HAVE, which should have the following capabilities:
a) Perform a completeness-check of a publication structure (like completeness-check of DITA-maps in Arbortext Editor).
b) This completeness-check should be invoked
b1) manually
b2) before changing lifecylce-state of a publication structure
b3) before performing a publish
b4) check also all target-languages
c) Check, if the whole publication is in a desired lifecycle-state.
At the moment this feature is missing and in very big publications, it is nearly impossible (or at least very very hard work) to track down incomplete publication structures.
