Can I Create a New Structured App that's a Copy of a Current One?

Here's the situation:  I am new to using Dita in Framemaker, but have become competent with the authoring process. I do not understand the development end of things very well, however. What I want to do is to have a second dita structured application that is identical to the first in every way except that in topic.template.fm, the page size will be set to 11x17, not 8.5x11.  And I want to be able to apply that structured application to some of my DITA documents, but not all of them.
I tried to create such a situation, first by copying and then renaming the DITA folder (I called the new one DITA-BIG) in Adobe FrameMaker 8\structure\xml\ and, within DITA-BIG, making that small change to topic.template.fm.
I then added the renamed structured app to structuredapps.fm (again, I did a copy and paste of the DITA-Topic-FM element already there), changing the name of the element to Dita-TopicBig-FM and the URLs to point to those in the DITA-BIG directory.
The new structured application appears in Framemaker when I select StructureTools --> Set Structured Application, and I can select/apply it to one of my documents. However, the document's page size doesn't change. I tried saving the document, closing and reopening the document, closing and reopening Framemaker. The new, larger page size set in topic.template.fm in the DITA-BIG structured app. is ignored.
If I change the page size in the original topic.template.fm file, the document that is supposedly using the new structured app changes size to correspond to the template in the old structured app.  But I need that original template to stay at its original 8.5x11 page size.
I am new to working with such files so I don't know if I missed something or if what I am attempting cannot be done.
Any advice?

Ok, it worked.
Thank you very much for your help and patience with my followup questions.
I want to describe one more thing that was not obvious to me.  When I got all of this done and tried to get a help topic to use the new template, I did it wrong at first. What I tried was to open the xml file, then open the StructureTools menu and select "Set StructuredApplication."  From the long list of applications that appears, I chose Dita-Topic-Bigpage-Fm (my applicaiton clone that contained the modified template).  Then I saved the file, but didn't notice any changes in my page size. Even closing and reopening the file and closing and reopening Framemaker, didn't seem to have an effect. When I chose any other structured application (do not try this at home!) I got pretty spectacular results: many error messages, and one time it crashed Framemaker. But nothing happened when I chose my "bigpage" clone application.
Eventually I tried to set the structured application when I opened up the xml file. At File - Open, a little window always appears that lets you select a few structured application choices among the many available.When I did this, the file finally opened with the large page size specified in my cloned application.

  • Can I create a new structure within CIN?

    I can't create following structure using LabVIEW
    typedef struct _I2C_TRANS {
    BYTE byTransType;
    BYTE bySlvDevAddr;
    WORD wMemoryAddr;
    WORD wCount;
    BYTE Data[256];
    } I2C_TRANS, *PI2C_TRANS;
    I need this structure to a DLL-call.
    I tried put all elements to a cluster, but CIN creates two separate structures (see attached) and it doesn't work. I want to know how to create one structure for a DLL call LONG _stdcall DAPI_WriteI2c(HANDLE hDevInstance, I2C_TRANS * TransI2C);
    If there are any solutions for this, please let me know.
    Thanks in advance

    That's not entirely true. It is possible but a little bit tricky.
    typedef struct _I2C_TRANS {
    BYTE byTransType;
    BYTE bySlvDevAddr;
    WORD wMemoryAddr;
    WORD wCount;
    BYTE Data[256];
    } I2C_TRANS, *PI2C_TRANS;
    The byte array inside the structure is fixed size and therefore each
    compiler
    will just embed this into the structure creating really a memory block of
    1 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 256 = 262 bytes.
    LabVIEW uses internally byte packing except on PA-RISC and Sparc systems
    so that you need to make sure that the DLL you want to call uses also that
    or if
    it doesn't adjust for this too on the diagram level.
    Assuming that the underlying DLL uses byte packing too, you can create a
    cluster
    in LabVIEW containing the first four parameters, wire it through the Byte
    Swap
    function and typecast it to a U8 array, append an 256 element U8 array and
    configere the Call Library Node to pass this as a pointer to an U8 array. If
    you
    need to extract data after the call to the DLL you need to typecast it back
    and/or
    extract the data array accordingly. Remember that typecasting on Windows has
    the effect of byte and word swapping data that is why the Byte Swap function
    is
    necessary.
    In general it is very often possible to call DLL functions directly even if
    they take
    compund data types but it is a little hassle. If it is about calling a few
    function the
    hassle may be worth your time as starting up a C development system and
    creating
    a DLL project certainly has some overhead. For more involved API calls it is
    usually always better to create your own wrap
    per DLL, making the parameters
    and function calls more LabVIEW friendly.

  • HT4897 Can I create a new email address that will work with my existing Apple ID?

    Hello,
    When I got my first Mac I created an Apple ID. I later created an email account with the name [email protected] I'd like to have an address that is [email protected] I'd prefer not to use an alias. Can I do this without losing all the information in my Apple ID such as itunes purchases, computer purchase history, etc? How do I find out if the new email address I'd like to use is available?
    Thanks,
    kayjh

    You already have [email protected] If you want [email protected] you will have either to create an alias, or to create a new Apple ID (for which you will need a different non-Apple email address) and then create a new iCloud account. You can continue to be signed in in System Preferences>iCloud with your current ID, and the new one can be signed in in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts and Calendars where it will appear in Mail alongside the current one as a separate account. Or you can scrap the present ID and sign in with the new one in System Preferences>iCloud but continue to use the old one to sign in in iTunes - there is no confilct about doing that (though of course any data such as Calendars ancd Contacts you have in the present account will disappear if you sign out). I should choose the second option - the new account in Mail, Contacts and Calendars.

  • Can you create a Adobe DPS app that use Web Services

    I'm looking to create a DPS app that uses web services to pass data to and from a web server when the user has an internet connection, but when the user is offline stores data locally until an internet connection is established and then passes the locally stored data to the web server. Is this possible with DPS/

    It's challenging but it's possible. Hint: local storage.

  • Can I create object in console app that lives on another thread?

    I'm trying to get Embedded RavenDb to work in my console app. I've tried halting the application with console.readline() and by placing a breakpoint with no luck. So I was told I must run it in separate thread.
    So I have this object EmbeddableDocumentStore that I want to create in separate thread and keep it alive, is that possible?
    static void Main(string[] args)
    NonAdminHttp.EnsureCanListenToWhenInNonAdminContext(8080);
    EmbeddableDocumentStore store = new EmbeddableDocumentStore();
    store.DataDirectory = "data";
    store.UseEmbeddedHttpServer = true;
    store.Initialize();
    If I take all the above code in Main() and place it in separate method, and launch it in another thread - does that 2nd thread considered not halted if my program stops at Console.Readline()?

    You'd have to provide a way for it to be alive.
    So lets say you have two methods:
    Main(string[] args)
    LiveOnAnotherThread()
    When you execute the LiveOnAnotherThread() on another thread, you'd have to do a while loop for it to be not exited, prolly a boolean flag that is on the class level.
    so it's something like this
    public class Foo
    private bool _closeRunner = false;
    public void Main(string[] args)
    Thread runner = new Thread(() =>
    LiveOnAnotherThread();
    while(!_closeRunner)
    Thread.Sleep(1000); // mimics 1 second pause
    Console.ReadLine();
    The code above is basically the basic gist of it.

  • How can I create a new credit account that is not share with the family?

    I Am trying to create a different credit account and I want to know how to do it.

    I don't believe you can if you're using Family Sharing.  All purchases by anyone in the family group are billed to the family organizer's credit card without an option to use multiple billing methods/cards.  If you want to purchase something without it being charged to the card you can purchase and redeem iTunes gift cards to create a credit.  The credit would then be charged before any remaining balance is charged to the card.

  • How can I create a new iCloud account and transfer my apps?

    I'm sharing an iCloud and iTunes account and want to have my own. Can I create a new iCloud account and transfer my contact list? If I keep the existing iTunes account with the new iCloud acct, can I reload my apps without purchasing them again? I understand I can create a new iTunes acct afterwards.

    OK, so you can create a separate Apple ID for yourself that you use for your Messages, iCloud, Mail, FaceTime, etc. and keep the one that you have your Apps on as your iTunes "Family" Account.
    Before you set up your new Apple ID, be sure to delete your iCloud account from your device: Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and delete the account. Save your Contacts on your phone so you can merge them with your new iCloud account. Your notes, and Photos will still be on your old iCloud account, but if you want to keep any of your photos on your new iCloud account, it would be a good idea to import all of your photos to your computer first, so you can selectively download them to your device. (Note: only your Photo Stream will go away when you delete your iCloud account. Your Camera Roll will stay in place. It's just a good idea to back up that Camera Roll to a computer or to your new iCloud account immediately once you have set it up.
    You then would set up a brand new Apple ID for you under Manage your Apple ID: Apple - My Apple ID
    Once you get it set up, go into your devices and sign off the following:
    Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, click on your "Family" Apple ID and Sign Out
    Settings>Facetime, click on your Apple ID and sign out
    You will leave your "Familiy" Apple/iTunes ID signed on on the iTunes & App Store, becasuse you willl continue to share your iTunes account with the family. Here is a little more info about using two Apple IDs:
    Using your Apple ID for Apple services
    Once you have your new ID set up, go back into Messages and FaceTime and sign back in with your new ID
    Also, go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your new ID, and be sure to "Merge" your contacts into your new iCloud account.
    Post back with any questions!
    Cheers,

  • How can i create a new item in the app "health"?

    how can i create a new item in the app "health"? I need a field for documentation of "Waist-to-height ratio", exactly for "circumference".
    It's a matter of common knowledge, that the Waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) has more significance then the Body-Mass-Index (BMI).

    If you mean you want to change a color of a calendar category or create a new one, you cannot do that, what is pre-loaded is what you get and cannot be edited.

  • HT1311 To create a new apple ID, if I sign out of the current Apple ID account, and then sign in with a newly created account, will I lose any songs or apps on my phone or computer that were downloaded from the old apple ID?

    To create a new apple ID, if I sign out of the current Apple ID account, and then sign in with a newly created account, will I lose any songs or apps on my Iphone and Macbook Pro computer that were downloaded from the old apple ID?

    No, you will not loose anything.  However, if you ever need to update any of that previously purchased content, or re-download it, you will have to use the older AppleID.  Purchases are permanently tied to the AppleID you use when making the purchase.

  • How can I create a new folder in an external disk that is connected via USB to my Mac?

    How can I create a new folder in an external disk that is connected via USB to my Mac?

    Just like you would create a new folder anywhere. Open the drive's icon from your desktop or the Finder, and click shift-command-N. (Or use the Finder menu if you prefer - File - New Folder).
    If you can't create a folder, your drive may be the wrong format (you can't write to a Windows/NTFS formatted drive, for example). You'll have to back up any files you have on there, and then use Disk Utility to reformat it to Mac Extended (if it will only be used on a Mac) or MS-DOS format (if you want to share it with a PC).
