Structured Document Template Issues

Hi,
I have been given a set of files (EDD, DTD, Template)  which I am meant to use to create some manuals. I can create an XML file ok but when I try to open the XML file I get a lot of error messages saying they cannot create the elements. I have discovered that the element catalogue is empty and  I cannot enter anything into the body pages of the template which must be causing the errors. But if I got to the master pages of it I can see all my elements in the catalogue so I know they are there.  Is there some option selected somewhere which is preventing me from editing the body pages?
Thanks
Doug

Doug,
I may not be able to answer all your questions but will give it a go.
Make sure your FrameMaker preferences are set to work in structured FrameMaker. If not, change them (File > Preferences) and restart FrameMaker.
In general, the template file SHOULD contain the element definitions, that is, the EDD. You can test this by opening a new blank template file. Click inside the text frame. Open the element catalog. You should see at least ONE element in the catalog. The number of elements listed in the element catalog depends upon its settings; you can change the options to show all elements or only elements allowable at the insertion point.
If there are NO elements listed in the element catalog, then you need to import the EDD into the template file. Open the EDD and a copy of the template file. With the template file selected, select File > Import > Element Definitions. In the dialog box, select the EDD file from the dropdown list and click Import (OK?). When the import is complete, save the modified template file. Keep a blank copy as backup.
To open an XML file, you need to tell FrameMaker the locations of its DTD and template. You do this by creating a structure application. In FrameMaker 9, select StructureTools > Edit Application Definitions. At this point, I suggest you read more about all this in the Developing Structured Applications, which is supplied with FrameMaker. Create your application, and read it into FrameMaker by selecting StructureTools > Read Application Definitions. Close the applications file.
Now when you open an XML file, FrameMaker will ask you which application to use. Select your application and the file opens in the template specified in the structured application.
AN ALTERNATIVE procedure (I have not tested this, so not sure that it works as stated) that does not require a structured application is to open the XML file. When Frame asks for the structured application, select No Application. I am guessing that this will open in some kind of default Frame file; you may not see any content or elements at this point. Now open your template file, select the opened XML file, and select File > Import >Formats. Select the template file from the drop down list, select all the options, and click Import. Then in the opened XML, select File > Import > Element Definitions. Select the template file (or the EDD, if the template does NOT have the definitions) in the drop down list, and click Import. You should not see the content and elements formatted according to the template.
I suggest reading the FrameMaker User Manual, in addition to the Structured Applications guide, to get a complete understanding of all this.
Good luck,
Van

  • Business Blue Print  Document template issue !

    Dear Gurus
    i am facing issue on uploading my BBP Document template . I need to add my own custom template rather standard , but i am facing error of "Document not found"
    Kindly help....

    Hi Maz,
    I recently experienced the same error on a SolMan EHP1 system (SPS20) and SAP responsed with the following recommendation that resolved it for me.
    "Please add the following entry to table IWEXTEND using
    transaction SM30 and test afterwards again
    Enhance:       Rel. Enahn      SAP rel.
    /KWCUST/ 701              620"
    I think the key here is that the "Rel" value must reflect the level of your ABAP stack on the SolMan system i.e. since we are on EHP1 that means we are on level 701 (release 700 EHP 1). The "SAP rel" value must always equal 620. It seems to be performing some mapping function and if it can't perform the mapping then it produces that "Document not found error".
    I'll post this reply to your other cross-posts as well - let me know if it works.
    Regards,
    Paul

  • The Create List Item workflow action does not work in document library with document template

    My end goal is more complex but below is a basic example of the issue I’m having that just simply does not work.
    I'm trying to use a site workflow to create an item in a document library that has a document template applied to it but the file that gets created by the workflow is corrupt and cannot be opened.
    I created a document library and edited the document template by adding some text to the header and changing it to a Word docx file instead of a Word dotx file. I tested the document template by clicking the files tab in the ribbon and then clicking new
    document which opens the document template in Word and allows me to edit and save the document back to SharePoint. Then I created a SharePoint 2013 site workflow in SharePoint Designer that contains a single Create List Item action, and that action creates
    an item in the document library with the name field statically defined. I published the workflow and then manually start it on the site. The workflow completes successfully and when I navigate to the document library the document has been created by the workflow.
    When I click on the document to open it in the Word Web App it throws the error pictured below and if I open it in the Word client application it just opens a blank document and not the correct document template.
    I also tried using a SharePoint 2010 workflow with pretty much the same results. Opening the document in Word Web App gives the same error as above and opening the document in the Word client application gives the error pictured below.
    Come on Microsoft creating a Word Document in a SharePoint Document Library from a SharePoint Workflow should just work! Is this a bug or does anyone have any ideas on what is causing the this issue?

    I had the same problem with corrupted document - this worked for me:
    1. Create a 2010 Workflow which creates the list element in a document library
    (you may start this workflow from your 2013 workflow if applicable)
    2. In the Create New List Item properties - make sure to set ContentTypeId to your content type
    ("Id for indholdstype" is Danish for "Contenttype ID")
    3. Your Content Type template should be a ".docx" file - NOT a ".dotx" file...!
    (I have always created my templates for content types as .dotx files - seems Microsoft wants us to use ordinary .docx files as template files for content types)
    Hope this helps you!

  • How To Add Line Items to Workflow Document Template

    Hi Gurus,
    ive made a Workflow which has few containers referencing VBKPF, VBSEGS, and constructed two methods which one of them gets the table VBKPF data into MyStructure and the second the data into MyStructure2.
    Inside of the workflow i made two container operations and assigned those two methods to VBKPF and VBSEGS containers.
    The Problem is that VBSEGS is a (multi) line item table and it doesnt show me the data inside of the document template.
    What could be the solution for this scenario
    Thanks, Points for Reward

    Hi,
    i checked the swo1 methods and it looks good. I didnt change the binding that ive implemented, and some values are getting showed, but still they do not correspond to the BO element (concerning Acct.Doc.Nr)
    My binding is:
    Display Document Task:
    #######Workflow -> Step Display Parked Doc
    **************BO FIPP -> &_WI_OBJECT_ID&
    #######Workflow <- Step Display Parked Doc
    **************Empty
    Document Template:
    #######Workflow -> Step Create Doc From Template
    **************&_WORKITEM& -> &FLOWITEM&
    **************DC8BA2ADFCEA4EF18D2F00145EDCE7A4 -> &TEMPLATE&
    #######Workflow <- Step Create Doc From Template
    **************&WF_DOCUMENT_0001& <- &_WI_OBJECT_ID&
    **************&_WF_INITIATOR& <- &_WI_ACTUAL_AGENT&
    As ive explained earlier i have a Container VBSEGS with abap table vbsegs, which is filled using method ReturnMe2 with MyStruct2 structure.

    Hi,
    When you do transfer postings, SAP will set the batch number same as the one from which you are issuing the stock. To avoid this you can set the creation of batch to B (Automatic/ Manual with check in user exit)
    You need to use following user exit at batch creation
    EXIT_SAPLV01Z_001
    EXIT_SAPLV01Z_002
    Hope this helps, reward if useful,

  • Cross references in structured documents

    Hi there,
    Perhaps someone of you has a tip for me regarding cross references in structured FrameMaker.
    The problem we have at the moment:
    We were working with FM8 structured. But - as we worked with FM documents most of the times - very often the xml files are not on the latest version.
    When we now want to update these documents with FM9 and save them as xml documents, there are lot's of errors that the attribute type is not defined for the element fm-xref.
    Perhaps some of you know this error message.
    At the moment we do exchange all those cross reference for new ones.
    Of course, when we have a xml document which contains the latest status, this is not a problem.
    You just open the xml file and save it as FM9 document. No problem with any cross reference...
    But what can I do with those FM8 documents?
    Would it help to use some application just for fixong the cross references in those (if possible)?
    This definitly seems to be an error in FM itself.
    Is there perhaps some fix for FM9 I don't know about?
    And how about FM10: Will I have the same problems, if we switch to that version?
    Regards,
    Anna

    Hi Van,
    I fear, I expressed myself not very clear. I try again.
    We have DITA structured documents. However, lastest status often was saved in the FM document. The xml documents often are not representing the final status.
    When I open the FM8 document in FM9 everything looks pretty good.
    But: When I want to save the document as xml with FM9, I'm getting errors regarding the cross references.
    The cross references which were created in FM8 - doesn't matter, if a valid xml document or a FM document - always look the same.
    (BTW: I don't think that in structured documents cross references always refer to elemts with a unique ID.)
    example from xml which was created with FM8:
    <xref href = "#id08B4A0R30E9" type = "fm:Chapter">"..."</xref>
    the only difference in the FM document is that the element is called fm-xref there, as it's not an external url.
    in FM9 those cross references are totally different.
    example from xml which was created in FM9:
    <xref href = "#id08B4A0R30E9" class = "- topic/xref">"..."</xref>
    When saving the FM documents with the cross references from the first example as xml in FM9 (we don't have FM8 anymore), I get an error that the attribute type is not defined.
    When having a xml document that was last changed with FM8 and opening/ saving this with FM9, there is no error.
    At the moment I do not know how to solve this issue.
    And also I'm not sure weather the same problem might accour again with change from FM9 to FM10 or else.
    It is a great effort to make new cross references just because we upgraded from FM8 to FM9. (And of course always at most inconvienent time.)
    As we are thinking of upgrading to FM10, it would be good to know before, if there are any similar issues to expect.
    Or if there is an fix for FM9 or FM10 to avoid this at all.
    Regards,
    Anna

  • When add a people picker (user column) in Word document (Template) and try to add a name it stuck!

    When add a people picker (user column) in Word document (un the document Template) and try to add a name it stuck!

    Hi,
    According to your description, I have tested in my environment and I  have the same behavior.
    Only if you type the wrong name in the first time, then you click the phone book to search the right name and save, it will stuck. It means if you do other operation(e.g. type the wrong name then click “resolve” button, then search in the phone book) and
    repeat the operation above, it won’t stuck.

  • Document templates with reference not working anymore with CRM2007 on SP7

    Since we upgraded our CRM system(v 2007) to SP7 we are facing a serious problem with our document templates. The document templates do not contain any reference anymore (e.g. BP name and address details). This issue is a showstopper for the SP upgrade to go live in production.
    We have taken the following actions to get it work again but all without any success:
    - We have regenerated the webservice again (CRMOST_GENERATION);
    - Created the webservice again and generate it (CRMOST_GENERATION);
    - Run CRMOST_GENSTATUS_MONITOR for correponding webservice: status OK
        -> when debugging /CRMOST/Z_D007_READ I see in table LT_MESSAGES: "Invalid mainobject: GDCOIRoot
    Also, we investigated SAP note: 1329961 and notes related to CRM-BF-COM in SAPKU70007.
    It looks like a bug in the new programming. When using standard SAP mainobject GDCOI no reference is taking into account anymore.
    To visualize the issue for you, I will describe for you the steps how we can reproduce the issue:
    - Within Account ID we identify an account and confirm account;
    - Now when we create a service ticket we can enter some additional information in fields;
    - We save the ticket and select the "Create a new letter" icon and select a document template;
    - Now Word with XML is openened but WITHOUT taking any reference from confirmed account and service ticket.
    I can not imagine we are the only customer with CRM2007 on SP7 and is using document templates who is facing this issue.
    I really would appreciate it if anyone could help us in any way.
    Regards,
    Harrië

    I had the same problem and solved it by doing this 2 stepa:
    1. Run report CRMOST_CREATE_PACKAGE, because after upgrade, package $WS_BOL_GEN is missing.
    2. Run report CRMOST_GENERATION to generate webservice again.
    Regards.

  • Document templates not visible in Complaints transaction

    Dear CRM gurus,
    CRM 5.0
    I created an MS word document template using tcode CRM_KW_TEMPL in CRM 5.0 for the business object type BUS2000120 which is a complaint.

  • Corrupt document gets created in document library with document template using createlistitem workflowaction in visual studio workflow for office 365 solution

    Hi,
    My requirement is to create a document library associated to a custom content type with a document template associated. Also I need to create a document based on the template in this document library when a new item is created in another list by taking the
    reference ID of that new Item , I need to create the document with the name appended by ID. I need to do all this deployment using WSP.
    I have created document library with document template associated to content type by following instructions in below stated blog :http://blogs.msdn.com/b/chaks/archive/2011/05/19/deploying-a-document-template-file-in-content-type-in-a-office365-sandboxed-solution.aspx
    This works perfect for me.
    However, there are few observations, when going to Document Library > Library Settings > Advanced Settings > Document Template section - doesnt shows the Edit template link. When tried to look at the value for the document template using view source
    , it is giving me /Lists/MyDocsListInstance/Forms/template.dotx instead of the actual template file uploaded.
    Ignoring the above observation, when I am trying to create a sandbox based workflow in visual studio to create document in document library when new item is created in another list, I provide the ContentTypeID as the ID associated with the document library
    with template. 
    It creates the corrupt document at end of workflow. 
    I have tried using .docx instead of .dotx files for workflow as per solution provided in some of the post but it isnt resolving my issue.
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Regards,
    Krutika

    OK, I am going to throw out a lot of ideas here so hopefully they get you closer to a diagnosis. Hang on :)
    Does it happen to work for some users but not others? If so, try logging in on the "good" computer with the "bad" username. This will tell you if the problem is related to the end-user's system. Also, once the user downloads a document
    successfully can they open and work on it in Word? Also, does the document library have any custom content types associated with it or does it just use 'Document'?
    I notice that there are other folks on the web that have run into this same problem and the similarity seems to be that they are either on SharePoint 2007 or have upgraded from 2007. Did this doc library start out as a 2007 library?
    What you might want to do is this: Make a site collection from scratch in 2013 (or find one that you know was created in 2013). Choose team site (or whatever you want) for the root web and set up the security the same way you have it on the malfunctioning
    library. Now, use windows explorer to copy and paste some of the documents to the new location. Be sure you recreate any needed content types. Now test it from the troubled user's computer.
    I'm thinking there may be something that is different about the library since it was migrated through various versions and updates since 2007. I've sometimes found that there can be problems (especially with user profiles but that's a different story) with
    things that go through this evolution.

  • Edit "New Document-template"

    Ik work with Dreamweaver a lot (CS3) and I create a lot of
    sites. Every site though, has the same folder structure.
    Is there a way to edit the "New Document" template for let's
    say... default css/javascript includes (link and script tags) and
    just a basic html layout (wrapper, header divs, etc...).
    I was also wondering if it is possible to automatically
    create a standard folder structure when setting up a new site
    inside DW? I always have the same structure so it would be great if
    I could skip the step to create those manually.

    Huh?
    When you do FILE | New > Basic HTML, you want the page
    that opens to contain
    all of your standard stuff? Sure - you can do that. What is

  • Document template : Error when generating the WSDL file

    Is there anything else that needs to be activated ? Or can this be becaused I'm working through a VPN connection ?
    If anybody has an idea on how to solve this issue, it will be very appreciated !

    Did you set the Document Information Panel to show when opening the document in Office?
    If yes, I recommend to uncheck the option in Document Information Panel settings of the content type in the library to see if the issue still occurs.
    It not, please click Edit Template in Advanced settings of the content type which uses the excel template in the library and then re-publish it to see if the issue still occurs.
