Hi Gyanesh...
Sorry .. I misunderstood which function you were using. I thought you
were using the "Build FM book from ditamap" (yeah, I know you clearly
said the "Generate Output" command). What happens if you save the map
before running the Generate Output command? It only asks to save if the
file was unsaved. Also, you can say "No" to the "OK to save" dialog ..
try that as well. feel free to send me your files .. it's possible that
there's something in your ditamap that the system doesn't like.
Something else to check .. In the DITA Options dialog, do you have the
Topic, Map, and Book structure application assigned properly to the
corresponding options? When you start Frame, do you get any messages in
the console window?
Many people are successfully generating HTML and CHM output through the
App Pack .. however, this requires that you have the DITA Open Toolkit
installed properly as well (this is no small task). All the Generate
Output command does is pass some parameters off to the OT, there is no
CHM or HTML output processing provided with the App Pack.
You may want to sign up for the framemaker-dita Yahoo group
(http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/framemaker-dita/), since that's the
forum where these things are discussed more regularly.
