Failure Signature
After installing Automation Studio on a new notebook, an existing project failed to compile and displayed the following message:
No data was exported from the supplied DTMThe evidence does not identify the Automation Studio version, DTM vendor, DTM version, operating system, or affected project configuration.
Confirmed Resolution
Installing Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 resolved the compilation failure. After the installation, the existing project compiled without the reported DTM export error.
| Condition | Observed result |
|---|---|
| Automation Studio installed on the new notebook without .NET 3.5 | Existing project did not compile |
| Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 installed | Compilation completed without the reported error |
Installation and Verification Procedure
- Install Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 on the notebook using an approved Microsoft installation source.
- Reopen Automation Studio and compile the same existing project.
- Confirm that the message “No data was exported from the supplied DTM” no longer appears and that compilation completes successfully.
If the error remains, do not assume that every DTM export failure has the same cause. Record the Automation Studio version, DTM identity and version, operating-system details, and complete compiler diagnostics before continuing the investigation.
Engineering Scope and Decision Point
This case establishes a specific environment dependency: the tested installation required .NET Framework 3.5 for the existing project's DTM data export to compile successfully. It does not establish which component requires the framework or whether all Automation Studio and DTM combinations share that requirement.
Use the before-and-after compile result as the acceptance test. If installing .NET 3.5 clears the message, treat the missing framework as the resolved workstation prerequisite for that configuration.
FAQ
How do I fix “No data was exported from the supplied DTM”?
Install Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5, reopen Automation Studio, and compile the same project again. In the documented case, this removed the error.
Why did an existing Automation Studio project stop compiling on a new notebook?
The new notebook did not have the required .NET Framework 3.5 installation. Installing it restored successful compilation in the reported configuration.
How do I verify that installing .NET 3.5 solved the DTM error?
Compile the same existing project and confirm that “No data was exported from the supplied DTM” no longer appears. Also verify that the compilation finishes successfully.
