Do we have an option to disable the FrameMaker error console programmatically in FDK11?

Question

Hi,

I would like to know if there is any option in the FDK11 to disable the

FrameMaker console window which runs on every frame file transformation. This

was happening with FrameMaker 10 too but it had never affected the performance.

With FrameMaker 11 the performance takes a huge hit and code slumps in the

middle of the transformation. Throw your thoughts on how to disable or to

periodically clear the contents running on the console.

Thanks,

Venkat

No way to disable it as far as I know. But you do control the content written to the console. Do you have .. F_Printf(NULL, "message") .. lines in your code? In general you want to limit the amount of content written to the console for the very reason you're seeing.

There are a number of places that FM displays messages .. are you really referring to the "console window" .. a separate window from the FM application woindow (a separate item on the task bar) .. or are you talking about the "console tab" .. the panel that shows up at the bottom of the application window, when an error occurs? (There's also the "log windows", which are locked FM documents that display at various times .. I assume you're not talking about those.)

If you're talking about the "console window" .. that you can control by not using .. F_Printf(NULL, ...). If you're talking about the "console tab" .. that should only display when something goes wrong, which hopefully you can control as well.

No .. I don't think you can disable either one. Do let me know if I'm wrong!
