Cannot get project to open from Source Control

When trying to open project from Source Control, it times out (at Loading Index). After numerous tries, I'll get cpd file corrupt and I follow the steps (delete file and try again); sometimes I get very strange error messages.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem so I can open a good copy of the Source Control project on my desktop?

Hi,
What version/flavour of RoboHelp are you using?
What source control client are you using? Are you using the RoboSource control on a 64 bit system? If so, you need to update RoboSource control: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/917/cpsid_91739.html. Note that this fix is for RoboHelp 9.

Cannot get projects to play from external drive

I ran out of space on my internal drive and transferred libraries to external drive -- projects will not playback properly -- videos are staggered -- appear to be dropping frames

What kind of external drive? What are your system specs? What format is the media and do those clips play OK in Quicktime if opened from the Finder?

Robo HTML 9 will not open our project from Source Control after initial start.

We have a project in version control that we have been using forever, since 2003 or so and many versions of RH. Now that we have upgraded to 9, this project will open the first time in version control and work normally. Once you close the project and attempt to reopen from the starter screen, it opens just great, just not in version control. The files are still set to read only. I have done this several times and the only way i can work on my project in version control is to act like i am opening a project from scratch, then it needs to overwrite all of my local files with the server files. It would not be so bad but I am 3000 miles away from the server and 13 hops plus a slow firewall on the other end. While this has never been a problem in the past it is a big problem because it takes hours for all the files to download and overwrite my local files.
This only happens with RH9 and Version Control 3.1. RH8 works no problem. So, I don't know if this is a RH9 starter problem or a Source Control Problem. Maybe I will make a similar thread in the RH area. I'll wait to see if I get any useful hits from this one first.
It is very strange, I had RH9 open for several days because I was afraid to close the project for this reason and yesterday I published for the month so the heat is less right now but today, it opened with no source control. If I go to Source Control the only thing i can select is put project in source control. That is how it got into source control after converting to RH9.
We have another project that seems to open from version control normally but we can only save topics in HTML view. No useful answers to that topic after a week.
Got any ideas???
I have tried different folder names, different paths, etc.
Thanks,

Ok, here is a wierd one, I used the add to version control icon in the menu bar, It already knew the path so I figured I'm the only one who has been editing these files for the past few days so I clicked add to version control. It added it. I closed and reopeded and still had the same files checked out. Closed, checked in all, then reopened and it is working in SourceControl. Strange that after opening from source control and closing that you need to reopen and tell it to put the project into source control. Obviously some flag is not getting set somewhere. This might help others having problems reopening source control files.

Opening Project First Time from Version Control. RoboSource Node

Four writers have upgraded successfully. My fifth is having issues...
She has Serena Dimensions SCC installed as well (another source control product - used by Applications, not the authors or Infra.
Problem: When she is establishing the root path (and the Browse RoboSource Node window opens, but it does not populate, even after 20 minutes. Reboot did not work, neither did manually removing Serena Dimensions SCC. I have verified that she has a connection to the database (via RSC Explorer) and can see the project (as well as the RH7 version of the project). We have
These are the instructions... (screenshots not included). She's hanging up on
1.1    Using a New Project for the First Time
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The author must have local administrator rights on the machine. If the user has a privileged account, they must set up full local control of their work folder (specified in 1.1.2.8).
1.1.1    Install RoboHelp and RoboSource Control
1.    Download appropriate software packages, including all patches, from Adobe.
2.    Launch RoboHelp Installer. Select the following options for installation:
o   RoboHelp for HTML
o   RoboSource Control (Client)
o   CS4 Script Extender
INSTALLATION NOTES
Installation of each component is separate and may take up to 30 minutes. You do not have to install RoboHelp for Word.
Only select the Client Install for RoboSource Control.
3.    Install all patches in the order specified by the vendor. Check with the technical communicator on which version is currently in use for patching.
1.1.2    Open the Project
1.    Launch RoboSource Control.
2.    Establish a database connection per section 3.3.1.
3.    Close RoboSource Control.
4.    Launch RoboHelp 8 for HTML.
5.    Click Open under Recent Projects under the main frame (do not use title bars).
6.    Click the Open Project from version control button (shown below).
7.    Make sure that RoboSource Control 3.1 is highlighted as the Version Control Provider and the checkbox for “Make this my default selection” is checked. Click OK.
8.    Configure the Source Control system as follows:
Connection: PROD
Root Path: Click the … button and navigate to the (project name) root in the database and click OK. This may take several minutes.
Connection Mode: Online
Get to Local Path: Click the … button and navigate to your Data folder. Select Make New Folder under Data and give the folder a unique name to help you identify the files as for the Support KB in RoboHelp.
9.    Click OK when you have configured source control. A copy of the database is now being downloaded to the path you specified. This may take up to 20 minutes.
You can verify that installation is proceeding either by watching your local path fill with files or keeping an eye on the CPU usage of the RSO3MiddleTierService and RoboHelpHTML files under Task Manager.
10. Once transfer is complete, highlight Tier1KB.xpj and click Open. It may take several minutes to open the project the first time. It is typical for the snippet file to check out the first time you open the project and the first time each day that you save all project files.
11. Once the project is open, set Version Control properties:
a.         Select Tools > Options.
b.         On the Version Control tab, select all options. This will prompt the user on each version control action they take.
12. Test a check out/check in to validate correct installation and source control operation.

It's the settings in miscproperties in the XPJ and it works in TFS just fine. I'ts as follows:
<miscproperties>
<matchedpair>
<name>vc::provider</name>
<value>Team Foundation Server MSSCCI Provider</value>
</matchedpair>
<matchedpair>
<name>vc::agent</name>

How can I add a Website Project in a solution that should be excluded from source control?

Using VS 2013 update 4
I currently have a solution with a couple of Class Library Projects and Web Application Projects and all of these are bound to a source control (VS Online). Now I added an Existing Website Project in the same solution by choosing a Local IIS instance. However,
I don't want this Website Project to be in source control.
I have tried File > Source Control > Advanced > Change Source Control ... and then clicked on the website project and then clicked Unbind. By doing this, it seems that the project was unbound. However, as soon as I close the solution it asks me
to save the .sln file and seems that it restored the Scc*** info in the file.
I also tried editing the .sln file and set the SccProjectEnlistmentChoice* = 0 (of the website project, under GlobalSection) and then set the ProjectSection of the WebsiteProject to
SccProjectName = ""
SccAuxPath = ""
SccLocalPath = ""
SccProvider = ""
instead of "SAK". This actually worked for me but everytime I open the solution, Visual Studio alerts an error saying "Unspecified error". This is the closest I got into solving this.
Is there a proper way of doing this? I think the proper way should be the "Unbind" method but it seems that it's not working as expected.
Let me know of other solutions.
Cheers!

How do I fix project after "Remove From Version Control" corrupted it?

I am using RoboHelp 9.0.1 and installed both Tortoise SVN 1.6.9 and latest PushOK SVNSCC then added my large RoboHelp project to SVN. I was able to check in and out files from SVN but had several issues with it:
1) Super super slow. Working with folders or any renames would take 10 seconds per file and up to 1 hour if needed to refresh the root folder.
2) I could not perform some actions at all, such as delete, rename, or move folders. I kept getting COM errors.
I therefore decided that working with SVN and RoboHelp is not practical, at least not on my VPN so I decided to disconnect the project from source control and just work locally. The only option that I saw that sounded like it would do that was the "Remove from Version Control". This started a process that lasted for several hours. At the end of it, I now have several significant issues:
1) The order of the files and folders in my Project Manager is completely wrong now. I have almost 1000 topics and reordering all of them is not possible.
2) The Table of Contents, Glossary, and Index files appear empty. They had content before.
2) A couple of the Single Source Layouts I had created are completely missing.
3) Many, but not all, of the folders have tons of files with the extension ending in "_temp_removed_by_svn"
4) Many, but not all, of the files are actually gone from SVN so I can't recover a clean image. There was no warning that this command would actually delete the files from SVN (I thought it would just remove the version control connection).
5) Who know what other issue exist that I haven't seen.
Any idea how I can fix this?
Thanks in advance,
Dan

Are the "_temp_removed_by_svn" files in your local folder or SVN? Let us know how you get on with the new project. It sounds like something is wrong with SVN. Can you use the SVN Log command to see whether there is a different version you can restore. This might also give you an indication of what might have caused the problem. You could try deleting your CPD file. It gets rebuilt it is isn't there anyway. This file can become bloated and it is good practice to delete it when it gets close to 2mb in size. Your project is fairly large and has a lot of folders and may affect performance. Have you considered splitting them and merging the output? I know you probably don't want to consider this right now, but I think it may be a better long term solution.

FRM-47007: Cannot get parameter WUC_DATA attributes from Parameter List: in

Hi,
I am pretty sure this is a webutil message. I am running 10g through OC4J, all was working well one minute then on startup of the form I get these 2 message 4 or 5 times:-
FRM-47007: Cannot get parameter WUC_DATA attributes from Parameter List: invalid list ID.
followed by:
FRM-47007: Cannot get parameter WUC_DATA_MULTIPART attributes from Parameter List: invalid list ID.
These 2 message are repeated 4 or 5 times then things appear to run fine, I can open and read files, transfer them etc. The only thing I can think I have done differently is add a bean to a data block but when I remove the bean and restart the OC4J I still get the messages.
Any ideas?

Fixed,
I dropped the WEBUTIL object group then added it again by adding the object library then subclassing it to the object group. The error messages are gone.
Cheers

All I can do is look at the folders and files and see nothing that tells me how to start the installation. Clicking "open with Auto play" gives me irrelevant options, view photos, share, etc. I'm running Windows 8. This program has worked, although buggy, for the past year.

"Project is not under source control" Prompt.

Hello,
When I create a simple dictionary type, I get a prompt "Project is not under source control", with following message:
Could not check package name. Do you want to continue ?
Yes/NO
This started happening today as I started working on a new DC.
I am not using NWDI. My workspace contains about 10 projects, all are closed except the one I am working.
Is it ok if I ignore this message ?
Thanks
Srinivas

Hi,
You can safely answer "Yes". This message means that the wizard could not ascertain whether the namespace for your package has already been reserved or not.

I have just downloaded firefox 3.6.11 and adobe flashplayer update and adobe reader update. Now I cannot get firefox to open. I have tried removing Firefox but when I try to do that it says that I need to close firefox - but of course it is not open. I have waited a long time but nothing has happened so I am getting desperate Thanks -- Jerry

Do a clean (re)install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.

HT1338 I cannot get iPhoto to open today. I have shut down twice - still no success. Any suggestions?

I cannot get iPhoto to open on my Macbook Pro today. I have shut down twice - still no success. Any suggestions?

Try deleting the com.apple.iPhoto.plist.
You need to look in your user Library/Preferences for the .plist. Either hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command and select your user Library in your home folder or use the Finder “Go To Folder” command and enter ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iPhoto.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Open iPhoto while holding down the command and option/alt keys and rebuild the library.
iPhoto Library rebuild
Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist(s) from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist(s) to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.
If you prefer to make your User library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
Show User Library
You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.5. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

I cannot get foxfire to open. When I try to remove it the computer insists that it is running. What do I do?

I am trying to get my Foxfire to upload. I cannot get it to open. I have tried to delete it from my computer but the computer insists that foxfire is running. I wanted to try and remove it so that I could reinstall it and see if that fixed the problem.

I just downloaded Pages and it loaded into iTunes and I cannot get it to open

I just downloaded Pages and it loaded into iTunes and I cannot get it to open...help!

If you're downloading Pages from the iTunes App Store you're not getting the Mac version, just the iOS version for iPhone, iPad & iPod Touch. They are two separate applications for two different operating systems. To get Pages for your Mac you need to go to the Mac App Store. Either click the icon in the Dock or click on the Apple icon at the top left of your screen & choose App Store.

Elements 13 - a jpg file always opens in B & W raw and I cannot get it to open in colour. Same file open OK in colour in Elements 9. Any suggestions how I can get it to opens in colour in Elements 13?

Elements 13 - a jpg file always opens in B & W raw and I cannot get it to open in colour. Same file opens OK in colour in Elements 9. Any suggestions how I can get it to open in colour in Elements 13?

Thanks for your reply - I just open the file with "Open" in the File menu - all my own jpg files open fine in colour. This is someone else's photo given to me and it does not matter how I open it "Open", "Open in raw" or "Open with ..." it always opens in B & W raw in the raw dialogue box. In Elements 9, which I also have on my PC it opens fine as jpg in colour so I can edit it there, but I am just wondering why I am getting this problem in elements 13. If I open it in any other programme such as Windows Photo viewer or Office 2010 viewer it opens fine in colour.
Not sure what you mean by "basic settings" menu.
Thanks for the reply
