Conflicting information about files that should not be included in version control

Hi All,
We are using RoboHelp HTML v9 from the Tech Comms Suite v3.5.
We are two authors who added our help project files into Perforce version control using the instructions provided on the Adobe site. All was going well until I returned from Maternity Leave. Now, we seem to be getting some file conflicts and 'strange behaviour'.
I searched for answers and found the following submissions offering conflicting advice about the .hhp file:
http://adobe.hosted.jivesoftware.com/message/3880352
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3853685#3853685
The .hhp file is one of the files causing us troubles. Should this file be under source control? What is the best way for us to remove it from source control, or would it be better for us to remove the whole project from source control and re-add it through RoboHelp once more to ensure whatever it is that happened on my return is eliminated?
Thank you all for your help.
Regards
LillibetUK

If you are getting conflicts then these need to be sorted out regardless of whether they should be inside your source control application. I use source control and can tell you that the HHP file should be source controlled. Open it up in Notepad and you'll find all sort of project related data including a list of all the topics in your project. It can also be useful to recover from a corrupted project. For this reason alone I'd always include it in source control.

    Hi Gurus,
    I am using the SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1.
    I can now retrieve the email sent. But the problem is, I am receiving 2 attachments namely:
    MESSAGE.DAT
    FILENAME.DAT.
    The expected attachment is the FILENAME.DAT. Why is it that it is sending 2 files? Where did the MESSAGE.DAT came from?
    BTW, MESSAGE.DAT and FILENAME.DAT has the same content.
    My code is:

  • What files should not be checked into Source Control?

    Good afternoon.
    Running RoboHelp 11, integrated with Team Foundation Server and Visual Studio 2010.
    When my two colleagues recently "got" the latest project files from Source Control, they also got items that had been removed or deleted. For example, I had removed all conditional build tags from my project, but their version still included the build tags. Eventually, thanks in part to an old post from Peter Grainge, we realized that the PSS in Source Control contained a lot of that old information. We deleted the PSS and stopped checking it into Source Control. Problem solved. No more conditional build tags or unwanted Single Source Layouts, etc. (I think the PSS got checked in by our Release Engineer when he was trying to solve some other problem. Two years ago it was not being checked in.)
    I vaguely remember reading something somewhere once upon a time about not checking certain RoboHelp  project management files into Source Control. So far I've not found any such information in the RoboHelp Help or online.
    Does anyone know where I can find a list of RoboHelp HTML project management files, such as the PSS file, that should never be checked into Source Control?
    Many thanks.

    Hi.. Philip...
    During installation when it prompts / gives us to  type / Browse the installtion sources like installation master / ker cd's / installation export .......,
    What did you do ?
    did you browse to the respective directory ??
    or
    did you manually type ??
    I got the same problem on unix like. On oversight instead of browsing i typed manually and by mistake in one of the path i added space in one of the installation source path and installation ended with not able to locate file system error.
    if you have typed it manually .. i beleive it could be similar to this ??
    Update your reply

  • How can I see any files that did not originally come on the mac

    I downloaded and erase a few things here and there and ever since I did that I feel a slight differnce in the power of my book.. and I am completely new to mac so I am not sure how to navigate through everything completely just yet. I know how to use finder etc. but like is there a way to just look at recent files that are not natural to a mac so i can delete them
    I have the brand new Macpro btw i dont think that should make a differnce with any of the answers but just incase.....
    I thank you guys in advance for any help I can get I love making sure I have no trash or malware on my computer that i just paid 3k for

    I'm afraid that my way and Tom's way of perceiving your question are quite different. It would be confusing to have two people dragging you into different realms of troubleshooting, so I will leave this question for you and Tom to work out. To many cooks spoil the broth.
    Below is my treatise on trying to fix slow computers:
    Things You Can Do To Resolve Slow Downs
    If your computer seems to be running slower here are some things you can do:
    Start with visits to:     OS X Maintenance - MacAttorney;
                                      The X Lab: The X-FAQs;
                                      The Safe Mac » Mac Performance Guide;
                                      The Safe Mac » The myth of the dirty Mac;
                                      Mac maintenance Quick Assist.
    Boot into Safe Mode then repair your hard drive and permissions:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions Pre-Lion
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    Repair the Hard Drive - Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilites Menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD disk icon and click on the arrow button below.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    Restart your computer normally and see if this has helped any. Next do some maintenance:
    For situations Disk Utility cannot handle the best third-party utility is Disk Warrior;  DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible.
    Note: Alsoft ships DW on a bootable DVD that will startup Macs running Snow Leopard or earlier. It cannot start Macs that came with Lion or later pre-installed, however, DW will work on those models.
    Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
    OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep.  Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger.  These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or later and should not be installed.
    OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive.
    Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
    An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
    Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
    See these Apple articles:
              Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection
              OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
              OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
              About file quarantine in OS X
    If you require anti-virus protection I recommend using VirusBarrier Express 1.1.6 or Dr.Web Light both from the App Store. They're both free, and since they're from the App Store, they won't destabilize the system. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for these recommendations.)
    Troubleshooting Applications
    I recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX, Mavericks Cache Cleaner, or Cocktail that you can use for removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc. Corrupted cache, log, or temporary files can cause application or OS X crashes as well as kernel panics.
    If you have Snow Leopard or Leopard, then for similar repairs install the freeware utility Applejack.  If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line.  Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. Applejack does not work with Lion and later.
    Basic Backup
    For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components:
    1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences;
    2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is
        used to manage backups and to restore backups. Time Machine
        requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the
        drive being backed up.
    Alternatively, get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
      1. Carbon Copy Cloner
      2. Get Backup
      3. Deja Vu
      4. SuperDuper!
      5. Synk Pro
      6. Tri-Backup
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore.  Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. For help with using Time Machine visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
    Referenced software can be found at MacUpdate.
    Additional Hints
    Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.
    Add more RAM. If your computer has less than 2 GBs of RAM and you are using OS X Leopard or later, then you can do with more RAM. Snow Leopard and Lion work much better with 4 GBs of RAM than their system minimums. The more concurrent applications you tend to use the more RAM you should have.
    Always maintain at least 15 GBs or 10% of your hard drive's capacity as free space, whichever is greater. OS X is frequently accessing your hard drive, so providing adequate free space will keep things from slowing down.
    Check for applications that may be hogging the CPU:
    Pre-Mavericks
    Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu.  Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order.  If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar.  Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
    Mavericks and later
    Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select All Processes from the View menu.  Click on the CPU tab in the toolbar. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order.  If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar.  Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
    Often this problem occurs because of a corrupted cache or preferences file or an attempt to write to a corrupted log file.

I have looked at the help sites and they seem to give directions to change files that people are saving in the future and not regarding past files. I am unable to change anything about the file including the name, so I can not change these past files from .m4v to something else which is deletable such as .mp4 etc. Any help would be much appreciated!!!!

    Well, most of what we can tell you is already stated in the message you are getting.  A phone can only sync with one library at a time.  You have apparently synced your phone with a different iTunes library in the past, or changes have been made to this library so the phone no longer recognizes it as the library with which it was synced.  To know which you will have to provide the information.
    If you bought them using the AppleID you use with this phone it may simply be easier to re-download them directly to the phone rather than sync them, though you will want to resolve that issue at some point.

  • "recover database until cancel" asks for archive log file that do not exist

    Hello,
    Oracle Release : Oracle 10.2.0.2.0
    Last week we performed, a restore and then an Oracle recovery using the recover database until cancel command. (we didn't use backup control files) .It worked fine and we able to restart the SAP instances. However, I still have questions about Oracle behaviour using this command.
    First we restored, an online backup.
    We tried to restart the database, but got ORA-01113,ORA-01110 errors :
    sr3usr.data1 needed media recovery.
    Then we performed the recovery :
    According Oracel documentation, "recover database until cancel recovery" proceeds by prompting you with the suggested filenames of archived redo log files.
    The probleme is it  prompts for archive log file that do not exist.
    As you can see below, it asked for SMAarch1_10420_610186861.dbf that has never been created. Therefore, I cancelled manually the recovery, and restarted the database. We never got the message "media recovery complete"

    When restaring the database we could see that, a recovery of online redo log has been performed automatically, is it the normal behaviour of a recovery using "recover database until cancel"  command ?

    Thank you very much for your help.
    Frod.

    Hi,
    Let me answer your query.
    =======================
    Your question: While performing the recovery, is it possible to locate which online redolog is needed, and then to apply the changes in these logs
    1.   When you have current controlfile and need complete data (no data loss),
          then do not go for until cancel recovery.
    2.   Oracle will apply all the redologs (including current redolog) while recovery
         process is    on.
    3.  During the recovery you need to have all the redologs which are listed in the    view    V$RECOVERY_LOG and all the unarchived and current redolog. By querying  V$RECOVERY_LOG  you    can find out about the redologs required.
    4. If the required sequence is not there in the archive destination, and if recovery process    asks for that sequence you can query V$LOG to see whether requested sequence is part of the    online redologs. If yes you can mention the path of the online redolog to complete the recovery.
    Hope this information helps.
    Regards,
    Madhukar

  • Importing files that do not need transcoding?

    Just curious about the process. I import XDCAM EX files that do not require transcoding. As a matter of fact the option is not available. And that is fine, very few problems. But here is what I don't understand. FCP X needs ProRes to operate efficiently and my output files are ProRes. My question is since my files that are in the events folders are not ProRes, how is that possible? If the transcoding takes place when the project is output then I am not really editing using ProRes. I hope my question is not too confusing. I just am curious.
    Thanks to all.
    Cheers,
    Tom

    Apples says no problem with XDCAM?
    What follows is not a solution just a way to understand what is happening under the bonnet.
    Try this workflow:
    Leave FCPX closed and out of the equation for the moment.
    Copy BPAV folder to your HD
    Eject any SD , SXS reader or camera.
    Open the XDCAM Transfer app
    Click the Add.. button
    Navigate to the BPAV folder
    Select the import location from Preferences
    Select any clips you wish to ‘Import’
    Hit Import.
    XDCAM Transfer will rapidly ‘unwrap’ the movies and place them in the destination folder
    Go to folder, open a clip in something like MpegStreamClip or QT
    Hit cmd i 
    this will bring up an info window
    note the clips attributes
    Video Tracks:
    XDCAM EX 1080i50 (35 Mb/s VBR), 1920 × 1080, 25 fps, 35.00 Mbps
    Audio Tracks:
    (lpcm), 768 kbps
    Now open FCPX
    select Import Media.
    look carefully at the drives available to you.
    If you copied the BPAV folder to the top level of a finder window that will appear in the ‘CAMERAS’ pane. This applies to any camera folder type such as BPAV for XDCAM, PRIVATE for AVCHD and even DCIM if you have some still images copied rom a camera.
    If these are a pain you can hide them by creating a folder at the top level and drop them in that.
    OK, back to Import Media
    Locate your newly unwrapped XDCAM clip
    Hit' Import Selected'
    Now notice the dialog ‘create optimized media’ …according to Apple this should be greyed out, ‘because XDCAM works just fine’  but its not
    OK lets see what happens if do select it and also copy to events folder?
    Once imported the Background Tasks render spins from 0-100%. Ok so I have created an optimized clip, ProRes?
    Drop the clip on the timeline ,
    Lets check, go File - Project Properties…hit the  little spanner far right, says ‘Render Format ProRes
    hit Export…(aka Share’ what a stupid name),
    select Master File, now watch the Background Render Tasks drop back to 0% and slowly crawls up to 100%. rendering yet again.
    Your export will open by default  in QT, hit cmd i and you will see its ProRes. Now thats when we get ProRes
    Go to your Final Cut Events folder
    Open your Event
    Note you will have an ‘Original Media’ folder with copies of the XDCAM clips
    However no ‘Transcoded Media’ folder with no ‘High Quality Media’ as would be the case for formats other than XDCAM.
    which is why editing XDCAM is ‘not just fine’ its a pain.
    No Optimized media of XDCAM can ever be created.
    As far as I can see…unless anybody knows different.
    BTW I know you can Import direct from the BPAV folder with the Sony PDZK-LT2 FCPX plugin..but still no real transcode to ProRes.
    No XDCAM is not just fine, ProRes? yes I totally agree bring that into FCPX and sure it works so much faster.
    If you want to work really fast, SDI or HDMI out into  devices such as the Ninja or Samurai Blade, record as 4:2:2 ProRes
    have fun

    Here's a screenshot showing the particular links on the page that you should be clicking:
    After clicking one of the circled links, you should be taken to another page, and after a few seconds you should see a download dialog appear for the msicuu2.exe file. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like for me in Firefox:

  • How can I save a page offline? the "complete" option in "save as" produces a folder w/ 36 kb files that will not open.

    the "complete" option in "save as" produces a folder w/ 36 kb files that will not open anything - can't I save the page as a single offline file?

    This is not really an answer just my comments on your question.
    I am sure I recollect efforts being made to get mhtml to work with FF.
    Probably the important thing to remember about .mhtml is that if other browsers do support it they may need addons, and may not necessarily render the content correctly/consistently.
    There are FF addons designed for archiving webpages, you could try them, but that then assumes the recipient has the same software.
    You could simply save the page from FF to your XP pc; then offline open it with and save it using IE, before then emailing using FF, and attaching the .mht or mhtml file that you have now created on your PC.
    As an alternative method, in some cases it could be worth considering taking a screen grab of the required page, then sending that to the recipient as a single email attatchment using either a bitmap or jpeg file format for instance.
    Something such as an airline booking may be designed with a print option, possibly it could be worthwile looking at sending the print file itself as an email attachment.

  • How can i delete a file that is not working?

    Hi there. I have the following problem. Under the all files folder there are a couple of .avi files that do not appear anywhere else on my system, they are not working and they cannot be deleted or opened! When I click on them, I get a message that says delete, repair alias or ok. Click delete or ok and nothing happens, click repair and it says locate the original file. When I do so, again nothing happens!!
    Can anyone please help? I want to get rid of them as they are taking over a precious 10GB on my macbook air
    Thank you

    OK, this officially crosses over to the bizarre.
    I believe booting from the Lion recovery partition and selecting Disk Utility is next. Run "repair disk". I believe that it will find some directory corruption and should fix it.
    Here are a couple of places to go for more help, courtesy of Pondini.
    Verify your internal HD, per #6 in Using Disk Utility.

  • Illustrator CS4 - frequently generates corrupt EPS files that will not parse

    I have used many versions of Illustrator prior to and including the CS lines.  I am currently running CS4 and this is the first time I have experienced this issue.  Approximately half of my EPS formatted illustrator files will not parse.  I use Quark Xpress 7 for my layout (never liked any of the Indesign programs).  If I try to generate a PDF with my CS4 generated EPS files placed at least 60% of the time the placed file will corrupt the PDF export resulting in no PDF being generated. 
    Further to this PDF export issue, if I attempt to parse the same EPS file into Photoshop, Photoshop will give me the error message "Could not complete your request because Photoshop was unable to parse the PostScript" and it will abort the attempt to open the file.
    Anyone else having Illustrator EPS file issues?
    Background info (if needed) Dual 2.0 Ghz, PowerMac G5, 8 gb RAM, running Tiger 10.4.11
    I have attached a sample Illustrator file that will not Parse.  It will open in Illustrator but not parse into Photoshop or if placed in Quark will not parse and allow for a PDF to be exported.

    Thanks for taking the time to write Steve. 
    I understand that I can drag and drop between programs.  Ultimately, when attempting to parse an EPS in photoshop I am merely doing it to confirm that the EPS is indeed corrupt. 
    As mentioned previously, I predominately use Quark Xpress for my page layout program and until I installed CS4 I have had zero complications with using EPS files.  Now I quite commonly can not export PDFs due to corrupt EPS files. 
    My question to the public is I am alone in this glitch or do others experience the same issue.  My first thoughts are that CS4 has a glitch and I should be expecting an update in the near future.  But, if I am the only person suffering from this issue than maybe I should be looking at my own software.

  • Advice on .jpg files that will not import

    I have .jpg files that are not importing into LR even though they open fine on my Mac. Is there anyway I can find out why LR will not import them? Any advice for dealing with images like this?
    Thanks.

    Usually it's due to Lr perceiving some file wonkiness that your Mac is less picky about (Lr prefers to keep details of such to itself...). ExifTool could probably fix it, without re-creating image data, if you knew how, but it might be simplest to just re-save the file using any software that will work, maybe save in tiff format, to prevent quality loss due to re-jpeg'ing a jpeg, and maybe metadata will be re-written in a format more palatable for Lightroom.

  • How to read contents of files that do not fall under public security group?

    Hi,
    I need to read the contents of a WCM based xml file that does not fall under public security.
    The process is like this:
    First the user makes chnages to the content.
    The workflow will be triggred based on the security group metadata that is associated with the content.
    Once the content is finally approved our workflow calls a custom idoc script.
    First we tried directly reading the xml contents from the idoc script which was still in the context of workflow. But since content item is still in workflow I was not able to read the changes. So I created a separate content publisher thread and read the DOC_INFO and checked for the dStatus value. If the value is RELEASED then I reading contents by calling ssIncludeXml idoc script.
    This was working fine for public content. But now the requirement is that all content cannot be public. Content authors should not be able to edit the content that does not belong to their group, So we created security groups (and roles) and are associating that groups to the relavent content.
    Beacuse of this change I am not not able to read the non public content. The call to DOC_INFO_BY_NAME service, which gives all the content files' metadata, is expecting the user to be logged in to give the details.
    I tried calling the CHECKIN service with sysadmin and captured the cookies returned by that service and use cookies for the DOC_INFO_BY_NAME service call. But the service call was faling. It is throing the 401 forbidden error with the message that user needs to be logged in to get the details.
    How to address this problem. Someone please help.
    Note: I also tried using ridc for this. I was able to get it working but since it is executing in the context of server ridc api is changing server's environment properties like HTTP_HOST, HTTP_CGIPATHROOT etc. It also seemed like system was becoming non functional after using ridc. When I called check-in the system metadata values like security group are no more loading. Not sure if ridc is the culprit here but worried that it might be causing this issue.
    Regards,
    Pratap

    Sorry, I posted too much details while posting this question. I was saying "not able to read *non* public content".
    Anyway, I was able to resolve the issue. I was able to authenticate with sysadmin credentials in the request to service using basic authentication and was able to read doc info with that credential.
    But I realized there is more than option for reading secure content.
    - I could set user name as sysadmin in the m_environment (if I am in the context of a service) and the call the DOC_INFO_BY_NAME service.
    - I can post an HTTP request to DOC_INFO_BY_NAME service with sysadmin credentials and do basic authorization via the connection. (This is what i have done successfully as of now )
    - I could add guest role to all security groups with R (read) privileges.
    I will look into all options and implement the one which is more apt.

    Pratap
