Conversion table: How does it know whether a topic is a task, concept, or reference?

FM 11
DITA 1.2
I'm just starting to work on my conversion table for our non-structured files. I've only gone as far as my first couple of iterative tests to create FM binary files; i.e., I haven't imported my EDD or templates yet. I'm just trying to apply logic to the process.

Hi Marsha...
The only way for it to know is based on the heading tag names. You'll need to assign different tags for each heading that starts a new "topic type". You'll also need to assign different tags within topics (like "task") to differentiate between the different sections within a topic.
I have a tool that helps with this "retagging" process (as well as many other conversion-related issues). it lets you define a retagging scheme based on previous tags or tags that follow a certain tag. It also lets you assign new tags based on text in the heading. You may want to download the trial of this tool just to get an idea of what it can do. The sample files and documentation may be helpful for your learning process, even if you don't buy it.

  • How does one know whether or not they use "Java applets"?

    The support doc for the recent Java update (Update 8, for Snow Leopard), entitled "About Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 8," advises the following:
    If you do not use Java applets, it is recommended that you disable the Java web plug-in in your web browser.
    How does one know whether or not they use "Java applets"?
    Thanks.

    Sometimes you have to dig to find out: http://earthnow.usgs.gov/earthnow_app.html
    doesn't tell you directly, but it is mentioned in the FAQ that Java is required. If the content is appropriate, you can always ask here.
    Thanks.  According to that webpage, my "Java is out of date."  When an error message like that is returned, I guess it's clear that "it's a Java problem."  Presumably, one would then just go to java.com and download the applet if he/she wanted to view the webpage.
    I was wondering more about situation when unexplained problems that involved missing Java applets weren't noted in error messages.
    But maybe I'm worrying about something that doesn't really need to be worried about.

  • How do I know whether my phone is unlocked or not?

    Hello
    I am in Thailand trying to activate my iphone 4S with Thailand SIM card.
    but the phone message says below.
    This iPhone is not currently setup to work with carrier you're attempting to use. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iPhone be unlocked.
    so my question is how do I know whether my phone is unlocked one or not, before I go and try get new SIM card.
    Thank you very much. Your reply will be very much appreciated.

    If your phone will not work with another sim card, then it is likely to be locked to the original carrier.
    The only way to get your phone unlocked is to contact that phone company/carrier that the phone is locked to and hope that they offer unlocking.  Apple cannot unlock a phone for you, only the phone company that your phone is locked to can do that.  Some offer unlocking and some don't, so if the phone company does not offer unlocking, then you are out of luck and you'll either have to buy a new phone or use a sim card of the comapny - take out a contract with the compnay that the phone is locked to.
    Anyway - contact Apple to see whether your phone is locked conclusively and if you talk to them they can tell you what they need.

  • How does WebLogic know it needs XA transaction?

    I've been informed that Weblogic 8.1 "knows" whether it needs to start a global XA transaction or not when it starts a transaction...sparing the overhead of an XA transaction if it is not needed.
              Is this a true statement?...and if so...how does it know that distributed resources will be used in the transaction when it is starting the transaction?
              The main reason I ask is that we are wondering if there is any way to avoid using the XA driver for "every" transaction, when we only need it less than 1% of the time. We would like to avoid the overhead that is introduced with XA.

    WebLogic always performs XA operations, it looks at the resource and checks if it implements the XAResource interface, if it does it uses the XA operations with that resource otherwise the operations will just be a null op.
              So it depends on what resources you use in the tx. If you mix, XA and Non-XA resources in the tx, you may hit heuristic exceptions and inconsistentcies in your data which you will have to manually correct. Also you loose the ability to recover any transactions.

    Hi anybody there who can help me ha..? My phone 5s was stolen 1 month ago..Find my phone is no a big deal bcz it seems to be wiped out all data including settings. it might be in use somewhere turning new fresh Gadget.  How can i know whether my phone is in use??

    You would know for a fact if the device is in use, but if you go back to the find my iPhone app in iCloud.com, you can either select to erase it, or place it in lost mode, in which case, once the device makes a connection to the internet, it will automatically go into that mode.

  • How can I know whether the Servlet is sending a response!!!

    Hello,
    My question is this :
    How do I know whether that server outputstream is sending me a response or not?
    I have opened the Client InputStream to recieve a response from a servlet,but how
    can i be sure that i will receive a response from the servlet?
    I cud be waiting for an 15 expecting a response but havent received one..
    Is there any way to check whether the servlet is sending me a response?
    The reason I am asking is this.
    I have written a Java Client that connects to a servlet.It has to wait for a
    response from the servlet.It will wait for 5 seconds and if this doesnt recieve
    a response,it will return back else it will display the response.
    I have set a timer on my client for 5 seconds and a timer on the servlet for 15 seconds.
    Essentially,when the client connects,the servlet response is held for 15 seconds
    and the client tries for 5 seconds.
    But the client is unable to exit without a response.The response comes back in 15 seconds.
    The client shud have the message 'Connection Timed Out' after 5 seconds.
    This means there is an error somewhere.
    As the response takes 15 seconds,the client shudnt recieve one.
    So,is there a way I can block the servlet response?
    I am using threads and Inner classes for the timer purposes..
    Please can any one help me?

    I don't know whether you solve your problem or not! Anyway, I have the same problem. The program hangs when getInputStream is called.
    DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream(request.getInputStream());
    If you have the answer, please let me know. Thanks!!

  • Does anyone know whether BT has a mail server that...

    Does anyone know whether BT has a mail server, other than mail.btinternet.com, that supports only POP3/SMTP and not IMAP?  For those interested, the background is as follows.
    I've been trying to get my iPad Mail client to connect to mail.btinternet.com using POP3/SMTP.  When you try to set up an email account on the iPad in the normal way, you are not given the choice of using POP or IMAP.  The Mail client appears to query mail.btinternet.com and, if it determines that the server supports IMAP, it then proceeds to set up a connection using IMAP.  Now, I know a workaround to force the Mail client to connect using POP3/SMTP.  That is not the problem.  The problem is that Mail client does not appear to work properly with POP3/SMTP, and I suspect this is because some of the Mail client code, under the covers, still believes it is using IMAP.
    For example, having setup an email account that uses POP3/SMTP, if I try to create a local mailbox/folder on the iPad Mail client, the operation fails with the message "Unable to Create Mailbox The mailbox couldn't be created on the server".  So I ask myself, why is the Mail client trying to create a mailbox/folder on the server?  The conclusion I have come to is that the Mail client still thinks it is using IMAP.
    I suspect that there are defects in the iPad Mail client code.  But, to test this, it would be good to experiment by setting up a connection to a mail server that supports only POP3/SMTP and not IMAP and then see whether the Mail client behaves any differently.  Hence my initial request.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Both my wife and I use the Outlook mail client on Windows for our "serious" email and we are very happy with Outlook.
    The iPad is actually my wife's and she bought it for other reasons, such as to Facetime friends and relations, install the Kindle app and read Kindle books, use the BBC iPlayer app, and so on.  But I have set up a separate btinternet email address for her to use on the iPad and she intends to give that email address only to certain close relations.  But, so far, we have found that the iPad Mail client is just not usable with POP/SMTP, and she doesn't really want or need to use IMAP.
    Edit:  Sorry, forgot your specific question.  No, it doesn't create the folder/mailbox locally.  It fails completely.

    I currently run the Design and Web Premium CS6 on a first generation MacBook Air and want to buy a new MacBook Pro. How do I know whether I can install my Adobe programs onto the new computer? Because I know there is some kind of limit.
    Also, I had to install the software twice on my same computer before because I had to reboot the computer. I don't know if this affects the limit.

    You are allowed to have two activated installations so there should not be a problem having working installations on the two machines.  If by chance you have somehow tied up two activations for the one machine you can have Adobe support help resolve that thru chat.

    hi,
    From a table how do u find whether a material is used in another material BOM
    thanks in advance

    Yes as Velu mentioned you can get the details from STPO.
    Note that you have to use field IDNRK in table STPO to check if the material is used as a BOM Component.

  • How do I know whether my DV video camera is FW400 or 800 ?

    Previously, I tested my Panasonic DV video camera with the old iMac. It cannot capture & doesn't work on USB. But it worked on Firewire. But I cannot remember whether it was FW400 or 800 as it has both. I decided not to buy then bcos I was told a new iMac or possible a MacMini is coming out soon. So I wait.
    But now that it has been refreshed, I was told that it comes only in FW800. How do I know whether my DV video camera is FW400 or 800 ?
    Thanks

    Pretty much anything you need to know about Firewire - including the plug and connector types can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FireWire
    However, if you post the exact model number of your camcorder, chances are we'll be able to tell you for sure what it has!

  • How do i know whether my adapter module is working or not?

    Hi
    I have written one Adapter Module and i have given that module in Communcation Channel.
    1.How do i know whether my module is working or not.
    2.How do i atleast my adpater module is calling or not?
    Please help me its very urgent
    Best Regards
    Ravi Shankar B

    Hi Ravi Shankar,
    Since u had written the module, u must have deployed the module on the adapter engine. Now follow this procedure:
    1. Set the breakpoint on the "process" method of ur java code.
    2. Put ur code into Debugging mode.
    3. Place the file again and try running ur scenario
    If the executuin stops at the method "process", then this means that ur module is getting called and there is some error in ur code.
    If the execution is not stopped there, then that means ur module is not visible to XI adapter engine. So either it is not properly deployed or there is some problem while developing it.
