Hi Ays,

In case, you intend to write a plug-in to automate FM processes, you can use FDK (FrameMaker Developement Kit).

For more details, please refer to:

If you are looking at automating the publishing of external content via FrameMaker, then there are some third-party tools that

can also be used to "automate" this. There's a paper that may be illumating on FM database publishing at: http://www.adobe.com/products/framemaker/pdfs/FM_DatabasePub.pdf

The third-party products would be Miramo from Datazone at http://www.datazone.com/english/overview/overview.html or PatternStream from FiniteMatters at http://www.patternstream.com/
