Not producing .xml files

Tino –

 

Thanks for the info.  I distinctly remember that three or four years ago, FrameMaker produced _both_ .xml files and the “.enn” files.  I remember writing to Adobe (probably through the bug page) that the “.enn” files were useless.

	Windows 7 Enterprise operating system
	FrameMaker 11.0.2.384 [ stand-alone with the first two updates ]
	.book file and its children are on a server on the local area network
	 
	Please help me figure out and correct what we are doing wrong.  A colleague who has FrameMaker 11 (with all three updates, out of Technical Communication Suite) gets the same useless results. 
	 
	FrameMaker is not producing .xml files.  Instead, it is producing files with extensions of .e01, .e02, through .e30 and such.  These ".enn" files are less than useless to us.
	 
	We have imported element definitions
	 
	This happens both when, in the .book window:
	 
	     a.  I choose the .book file and all its children.
	 
	     b.  On the menu bar, I choose File | Save as XML.
	 
	      - AND WHEN -
	 
	     c.  I choose only the .book file.
	 
	     d.  On the menu bar, I choose File | Save Book As... > .xml.
	 
	   1.  File structapps.fm is in C:\Users\[name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\FrameMaker\11.  File structapps.fm contains element <XMLApplication> that points to:
	 
	     a.  the \ .dtd
	 
	     b.  the rules file
	 
	     c.  the folder that contains .ent files
	 
	   2.  The rules file (on server) contains:
	 
	fm version is "11.0";
	 
	/*
	 * Include all ISO entity mapping rules.
	 */
	#include "isoall.rw"
	 
	/*  element "xref" drop;
	*/
	fm marker drop;
	 
	/*  writer external dtd is
	public "-//USA-DOD//DTD MIL-STD-2361 TM 
	**   Assembly REV D 4.12 20120930//EN":
	 */
	 
	writer do not include sgml declaration;
	 
	/*
	 *writer do not output book processing instructions;
	 */
	 
	/* writer declare entities for graphic and icon-set elements;
	 */
	element "graphic" 
	{
	is fm graphic element;
	attribute "boardno" is fm property entity; }
	 
	element "icon-set" 
	{
	is fm graphic element;
	attribute "boardno" is fm property entity; }
	 
	 
	Help, please, and thanks in advance.
