Adobe RoboHelp 7 and the Adobe Technical Communication Suite have just been posted

Hi, folks.
The long-awaited Adobe RoboHelp 7 and the Adobe Technical
Communications Suite have just been posted on the Adobe website.
There are 30-day Trial versions that can be downloaded here:
http://www.adobe.com/ap/products/robohelp/
Follow the link that says "Download the trial". After you
sign in, you can download either the RoboHelp 7 standalone release,
or the Technical Communications Suite which contains these
integrated products: RoboHelp 7, FrameMaker 8, Adobe Captivate 3
and Acrobat 3D.
If you or members of your team use both RoboHelp and
FrameMaker, I'd strongly advise you take a look at Tech Comm Suite.
It's more than simply a "bundle:" of products. There is real
integration among the apps. Here are details:
http://www.adobe.com/ap/products/technicalcommunicationsuite/
For some screenshots and information, check out Peter
Grainge's website
http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/rh7/rh7.htm
I will also be posting some Adobe Captivate movies of the new
interface on my website in the next day or two.

These are exciting times. Two releases in one year! I don't
think there's any doubt about Adobe's committment to RoboHelp now
Thanx,
John

The first thing I looked at was the upgrade price, which is I
think is pretty reasonable. I may not have made it clear in my
other post that I installed the RH7 trial with RH6 still installed.
I'm pretty sure management will spring for an upgrade, and I don't
intend to use RH6 simultaneously at that point--only while I'm
doing the trial.
The main thing I'm checking out is the double-byte character
support. One complaint I have there is that in HTML view, Japanese
characters are showing as squares. If I open the same topic file in
Notepad, the Japanese characters show up there, so I know RH7 isn't
really messing up the characters, it's just not displaying them in
HTML view. This still makes it difficult to manipulate Japanese
text in HTML view. Does anyone know if there is a way for these
characters to display in HTML view properly? Should I start a
different post? Thanks,
Ben

Why does the DB Tools List Columns.vi only report -1 for the defined column size?

I am using LabVIEW 8.2.1 with the database connectivity toolset with an SQL Server 2000 database. I would like to see how large a full record could be, so I used the DB Tools List Columns.vi in the database toolset. It easilly displays the column name and the column type, but only returns a -1 for the defined size. Of course when I add up the defined size elements, it gives me -351, which is the number of columns in that particular table. The vi I am using is very simple. I open a database connection, retrieve the data, and close the connection. The retrieved data is an array of clusters. I index it by running it through a for loop, and unbundeling each of the three parameters, and reforming arrays at the end of the for loop. This is as about the simplest vi I have ever made, but only part of it works.

SciManStev-
I don't know if this gets you the functionality you want because I don't have access to your file, but I would have code it this way (see attached picture). I would have used a Array to Cluster.vi to convert the column info ouput array into a cluster so I could use Unbundle by name. I think this is what you are wanting because from what I see, you only access the file once everytime the VI runs (right?). Try this and let us know how it works out. Thanks!!

Moving from Frame 7.1 and WebWorks to the Technical Communication Suite

My doc team currently uses Frame 7.1, Acrobat 7.0 Standard,
and WebWorks ePublisher Pro 9.1 to generate our printed docs and
online help. Now we are looking at the Adobe Technical
Communication Suite to do it all. However we have some concerns
about moving everyone over and the impact it could have on our
existing docs, templates, and workflow.
Has anyone had a similar situation and switched to ATCS?
What issues did you encounter?
Can Frame 7.1 and ATCS live together on the same computer?
Does a ATCS install mess up WebWorks ePublisher Pro 9.1?
Can you use source files from Frame 8 in ePublisher Pro 9.1?

I went from FM7.1 and WWP to TCS. Not a great result.
I use structured FM with an EDD. FM and WWP always produced
the end product. It just worked!
Are you using structured FM. If so, then think again about
the move. TCS does not support the structured elements. Elements
such as xrefs, index and glossary do not come across to RH.
The fact that TCS does not support structured FM wasn't
visible until after I made the move. I hear structured FM support
will be in the next version release. But I can't find out when that
will be.
Until then, Adobe support suggest the following work around -
create read/write rules, but they are not very forthcoming on how I
should implement them with my EDD. If anyone can help with this, I
would certainly appreciate it.
However, if you are not using structured FM, then TCS seems
to work like a dream. A definate plus for single sourcing. Works
really well with RH7.
Hope this help

What's the right tool to use to migrate forms modules.?

Hi.
I'm in doubt deciding which might be the right tool to use to migrate forms modules from 6i to 10g.
The obvious choice seems to be Forms Migration Assistant. However I found Metalink Note: 201344.1 which clearly states :
"We recommend to use ifcmp90 as there may arise some issues due to the migration assistant ifplsqlconv90. ifcmp90 upgrades the 6i fmb to 9i fmb whereas ifplsqlconv90 upgrades obsolete plsql , such as built-ins like set_alert_property. So it is advisable to use the ifcmp90 instead"
I have a newer version of FMA and i've done some test and it compiles and upgrades forms modules, but does not generate fmx files. So i conclude one should user FMA first and later generate fmx files either one by one or batch compile.
Please any comments are welcome ....!

Hi,
correct. You use FMA first and then compile the FMX files. You can also use the Forms builder environment to perform the migration, but FMA is more convenient to use.

I need to know the right tools and java technology

Please help,I need to know the right tools and java technology to support what I need.
I had background programming in Assembly,C++,Visual Basic,SAP/ABAP 4.
All I can say, programming is about logic, now we are very helped building program using objects.
I'm very interest to SAP tech, where all screens, programs, reports are resides on tables, this is the real dynamic!
CUrrently I'm eager to do the same technic with java. I'm new to java....
What I know the J2EE is the core for me to start is it right? I was very interest with the Client-Server Tech. How can I impelemet this with Java?
I'm a bit confuse with so many java solutions. There is Java Applets, Swing, Java AWT, JavaBeans, etc...
I don't know what is the best if I want my Presentation/Client Application will run within browser (not standard html, using like windows gui). What should I do to make business logic objects, how to invoke it within the gui. how to make installation package whenever clients connect to the http server.
if you have a pointer to do it please let me know.... I'm very appreciate all your response...
Best regards,
Lucky Pangemanan

I'd say - don't get carried away with the heavyweight frameworks. Don't use EJB if Hibernate and/or Tomcat will do the job. There's a danger of winding up using a bulldozer to crack a wallnut.
What people mean by "J2EE" varies a fair bit.
Start with Tomcat, which has the virtue of being free. Try some JSPs and servlets.
Use Applets to do client side presentation only if you must; Applets create an installation overhead on end-users, and some of them can't cope, while others may not have the necessary installation permissions on their office machines. They are pretty rarely needed, IMNSHO, most client-side behaviour is better handled with html and JavaScript.

Process triggered by file upload - is GP the right tool?

Hello All,
I have a process I need to model that starts with a file upload from the user, followed by some manipulation of the file by some web services.
Is GP the right tool for modeling that process?
After completing the file upload action, how can I access the the uploaded file on the server?
Do I need to implement the file upload handling with Webdynpor?
Thanks!
Yossi

Yossin,
Based on your requirement, the GP process would be to use File Input CO followed by Web Service CO (in that order). Consolidate the output param of File Input CO (which is the File Structure) to the input for the Web Service CO (which is also a structure). I dont think you need to save the file to the local drive. The web service should be able to consume the uploaded file (which resides in the process context).
Thanx,
Mahesh

Adobe AIR for Video Wall project - the right tool?

I need to decide whether Adobe AIR is the right tool for a Video Wall project. The Video wall would be one of only 4 installations.
It would need good offline capability.
The application would play back both canned video as well as twitter feeds.
The other option is to go all HTML with perhaps the Canvas element to display video, graphics.
I'm biased towards using Flash, AIR but am open to new ideas.
What are the pros, cons of each approach?

Pros of the Adobe route would be a little more control and reliability. You can easily go fullscreen, preload other videos easily in the background and display them on the hardware GPU decoded StageVideo (with the right video card, almost all of them at this point). Twitter feed loading would have some robust error handling to assure it goes smoothly but if you need offline capability you'll need some canned material for the feeds in that situation.
HTML can go fullscreen but the caveat would be drawing your twitter feed over the video at that point. Because it's fullscreen I don't believe you can have your text over it from a <video> element but you'd need to use <canvas>'s fullscreen and actually mux the text into the video.
The long haul of Adobe's roadmap clearly states video and games are the future of FP and AIR. I've done tons of kiosks in Flash and AIR, many of which just act as a video wall, attracting people to very large screens. I've had nothing but success doing this. I'd only even approach HTML5 if you have some reason to desire to put this on the web, and even then, Flash is still fine in that situation too.

Is SSAS the right tool to replace SAS Enterprise Guide?

I am in the process of studying the feasibility of replacing one of our custom built SAS Data Warehouse with Microsoft BI/DW stack.
I have one specific question that I hope someone here who knows both SSAS and SAS Enterprise Guide can tell me. Feature by feature, in what extent can SSAS replace SAS
Enterprise Guide?
To those who has less knowledge of SAS Enterprise Guide, it is a client app that let power users query against database tables/views and apply various statistical analysis
to the data then output (print/email/save) the result (grid/chart/etc.).
To name a few of these statistical analysis,
Under Describe, there are Distribution Analysis; One-Way Frequencies; and Table Analysis;
Under ANOVA: t Test; One-way ANOVA; Nonparametric One-way ANOVA; linear Models; Mixed Models.
Under Regression: Linear; Nonlinear; Logistic and Generalized Linear.
Under Multivariate: Correlations; Canonical Correlation; Principal Components; Factor Analysis…
And if SSAS along is not enough, what else are needed?
Thanks!

Hi Hommer,
Based on your description, you said that “SAS Enterprise Guide is a client app that let power users query against database tables/views and apply various statistical analysis to the data then output (print/email/save) the result (grid/chart/etc)”. Since
we are not expert about SAS Enterprise Guide, we cannot give you an exact conclusion. However what we can give you is that there are many adventures of SQL Server Analysis.
High Performance.
During cube processing SSAS will pre-calculate and physically stores aggregations of facts. Therefore, when the query is fired SSAS does not have to calculate the outcome from the underlying details but can take the values directly from the stored aggregations.
High Security
You can use the security setting to give end-users access to only those parts (slices) of the cube relevant to them.
Multiple Access/Frontend-tools
End users can use Microsoft Excel as a power full front-end tool on top of the cube. Besides that the same cube can at the same time be used as a data source for SSRS and SharePoint (KPI-) Web Parts.
For analytical applications, performance management, or just about anything with a KPI, Analysis Services is the perfect companion for SQL Server. These are complementary databases that do different things well. Using the right tool for the right job will
make development faster and usability easier.

Hope this helps.

SUBINACL - the right tool for the job?

Here is the scenario:
DomainA and DomainB
Full Trust both ways
Windows File Share in DomainA. Created a windows server in DomainB. Used Quest Migration Manager to migrate users and groups from DomainA to DomianB, keeping SID history. Xcopied files from DomainA server to DomainB server, keeping the permissions from DomainA.
Now, the Trust will be broken and we need to change the permissions from [email protected] to [email protected] Thousands of shares and permissions, so can't do manually. So far I have tried SUBINACL in the following context:
Subinacl /noverbose /output=e:\ntfs_perms.txt /subdirectories e:\Share
and then
Subinacl /playfile e:\ntfs_perms.txt
This changed some of the permissions to DomainB, but removed a lot of permissions.
Is this the right tool to use for this? Is this the right syntax for this scenario?
Thanks!
Mike

Hi,
Sorry for the delay reply.
It seems like you have enabled the SID history.
Based on my experience, after we completing the migration, sIDHistory should be removed from migrated principals to minimize management complexity. Microsoft has provided a sample script and
Powershell command to remove SIDHistory.
So, please first confirm if the migration process completed or not, then plan to remove the SIDhistory.
How To Remove SID History With PowerShell
http://blogs.technet.com/b/ashleymcglone/archive/2011/11/23/how-to-remove-sid-history-with-powershell.aspx
Before we do this, please backup the system state to making any important change to avoid any risk. After clearing the SID history, please try to run the subinacl command to check if it
works.
Regards.

Creator the right tool for applets?

Hi.
beeing new to Sun's Java Studio Creator I would like some opinions whether the Creator is the tool to use if use cases mainly focus on applets that get their data via WebServices.
My main use case would be an applet with a tree-control showing a lot of machine tools and an area that displayes some charts. Charts would be rendered by a 3rd party component. The Applet should talk to a WebService exchanging XML-Data.
I just don't know if Creator is the right tool for that.
Many thanks in advance,
Christian

Personally, I would opt for Net Beans 5.0 beta 2 for this type of scenario. The IDE is much better suited for Swing and AWT type of applications. In addition, it has some impressive layout managers for Swing.

Creating simple slideshows - is Catalyst the right tool?

I am a photographer and I want to create a slideshow of 100 images or so to promote my business. I was doing this with iDVD and it's simple - but doesn't support HD and has no provisions for a "Ken Burns Effect". I've used iPhoto and it does everything I need, but can't really burn a disk of the slideshow that works on PCs or Macs (that I know of). I am fairly proficient in Photoshop.
Here's my needs:
- drop in a series of photos
- create an order of the slides
- a simple transition between slides (could be just a fade)
- be able to do a manual Ken Burns on each slide (define start position and zoom / end position and zoom). So as that image is displayed it is moving somehow.
- automatically fit the slide duration to a mix of music
- burn a disk of that slideshow in HD (1080p or 720) give it to potential clients - they should be able to pop it into their Mac or PC and be able to play the slideshow just as I created it.
So is this something I can do easily with Catalyst? Is there a tutorial specific for this kind of need? Is there a better app for this kind of thing?

Robert-
If you are looking to create DVD that is viewable on a TV or something that is viewable on a computer? Either way, Flash Catalyst is not the right tool. It might be part of an overall solution, but it might get very messy to develop. I would take a look at what Lightroom might offer, or try asking in a photography forum. They might know a tool that might fit your needs.
