Hi all,
I have a trouble with an installation of a structured framemaker XML DTD.
This DTD (I will call it application from now on) has been written by a customer of mine to automatically create publications from an XML file, but now, after having moved the application to a new machine, I am not able to make it working any more.
This application uses a DLL to extract datas from the XML file and save it after having "manipulated" (it creates general indexes and an alphanumerical index to be put at the end of the publication).
The Framemaker version used is 7.0
My questions are:
1 - can be a problem if Framemaker has been moved from a Win2k machine with english OS to a WinXp Pro one with german OS?
This question is made because Framemaker does not re format automatically the document and if I apply the command "Apply Master Pages" manually, it does not work
2 - how can I register the DLL and make the application working again on the new PC?
The question #1 applies only for an installation on the new German OS machine
Question 2 applies for both an installation on Framemaker 7.0 and 7.2 (OS indipendently)
The steps I have performed in order to move the application are:
1 - copy the directory with the DTD and all the informations (templates, rules, etc) in the "$STRUCTDIR\xml" directory (the file contained are: edd.fm, 3 template to be used for the different sections of the book, rules.fm, one DTD file and one DLL file)
2 - added the application to the structapps.fm file copying the data from the old file to the new one
Many thanx
Flavio
