Can you be more precise where you are after? What issue do you need to solve? Is this exam or interview related?

I am preparing a document for giving training. I need to include each and everyline in each XML files.

Please send me if any docs you have.


Thanks,

Hi,

What kind of training would necessitate a deep understanding of the xml files?  They are created and maintained by the Framework Manager client application, so unless you plan to replace this with an interface you have developed yourself (which would necessitate you already knowing how the files are structured), what use would the xml specs be?

Confused...

MF.

Hi,

Here is a high-level explanation of the files from the training manual:

- <project name>.cpf - The Framework Manager project file, which references the .xsd and .xml files used to define a project.
- model.xml - The actual model data created by Framework Manager users. This is the development model which FM modelers work with.
- Preferences.xml  - The user preferences for Framework Manager projects.
- customdata.xml - The stored diagram information. For example, the diagram layout, notation, font, color, etc.
- repository.xml  - The logged version history for each project or segment that has been added to a repository.

Cheers

Additional: Ignore the above. Just noticed you're actually looking for XML DTDs.
