'Failed to download asset' error message using Guides 4.01 and FrameMaker 16.04

[sfrost]

I'm suddenly receiving an error message when trying to open a topic or ditamap via FrameMaker 16.04 connecting to AEM 4.01 via the connection manager. Connection to AEM is successful, but opening of topic/ditamap is not. I can connect to another AEM server instance and topics/ditamaps open without fail. I'm not sure if this is a FM issue or an AEM issue; posting here in hopes someone else has seen it. I've tried rebooting, restarting FM, resetting the AEM connection in FM via the conneciton manager. All fail.

To fix this ,

• Open FrameMaker
• Go to Edit->Preferences ->CMS->Adobe Experience Manager
• Make sure "Use UUID based referencing " checkbox is checked if you are using UUID based AEM Guides and unchecked if you are using Non-UUID based AEM Guides.
  Let me know how it goes for you
