Difference between the 5 generating outputs using RH10

I have created a Help File using RH10. I have been asked to find the pros and cons of between the five different generated outputs. I have searched the forums and have not really found a solid answer. Can anyone answer this question for me? I am new to RH and the extent of my training is from lynda.com and using the application.
I have been told that FlashHelp and WebHelp are the best options when dealing with multiple users.
Thanks!

Hi there
Indeed I can see where it can be very confusing if you aren't all that familiar.
I would agree that WebHelp and FlashHelp are common. Both of these outputs are intended to be copied to and delivered from a web server. With both outputs, the web browser is divided into frames. The top frame has the main toolbar, the left frame presents the TOC or Index or Glossary or Search and the right frame presents the topic content. The main difference between WebHelp and FlashHelp is how the information is presented in the top frame and the left frame. In FlashHelp, Adobe Flash is used and you see subtle animation effects. With WebHelp, it's a collection of HTML pages and images and links.
Another type of output is Microsoft HTML help, This output is created as a single file with a .CHM file extension. You would create this type of file if you want to copy the help system to each PC that will use it instead of having the individual PCs connect to a server to see the help.
RoboHelp version 10 introduced a new help output type called "Multiscreen". You have likely heard the buzzword "HTML 5". Multiscreen output is intended to be the HTML 5 choice,
The issue here is typically how easy is it to customize the output. With Microsoft HTML Help (CHM output) you don't have many options. Some say the output looks dated, But with RoboHelp 10 you are able to create WebHelp output with a skin and use that inside a CHM file to provide an updated look and feel.
If you wish to customize FlashHelp output, you must have a copy of Adobe Flash and the knowledge of how to use it. So it's not all that easy for most folks. Likewise, if you wish to customize the Multiscreen outputs, you have to have a pretty good understanding of CSS and be pretty patient with poking around the editor in RoboHelp. It's a fairly daunting task. The easiest to customize is the WebHelp output, because you just choose different images and configure things in an easy to navigate "Skin Editor".
You will see that there are other output types such as AIR Help. But that was more of a "flash in the pan" and it never really took off the way Adobe hoped it would. So personally, I'd recommend to avoid that output.
There is also the eBook output. You would choose that if you wanted to create a help system that would be presented on a Nook or a Kindle device. Not many folks are really "into" that space as far as I know.
Note that there is a "Pro" output type for WebHelp and for FlashHelp. This output isn't "better" than basic WebHelp or FlashHelp. Instead, it is a special output variant that is intended to work with another product called "RoboHelp Server". If you have purchased RoboHelp Server, you install it and configure it and maintain it on your web server. Then you create the "Pro" output type of choice and publish it to the RoboHelp Server. RoboHelp Server provides some management capabilities, special reporting and special configuraiton options that relate to these "Pro" output types.
There is more info on other outputs, but I think this covers what most folks might be interested in.
Hopefully this helps... Rick

I have two ipads under the same name/account. How do I airplay content from one to the other if there is not a distinguishing difference between the two or use face chat?

I gave my 2yr old my 16gb ipad 2 when I upgraded to a 64gb ipad 3. They are on the same account so that I can share certain apps between them, but because they consider themselves one in the same I can't use airplay or face chat with my daughters ipad. How do I do these things?

Airplay doesn't work between two iPads so you don't need to worry about that, however, you can change the name of an iPad in Settings > General > About > Name.

My student has been using Lightroom 4 with Photoshop CS5 on her Mac for well over a year. Because of the difference between the Camera raw version available to her in Photoshop CS5 and the raw process in Lightroom 4, she has been exporting her raw images

Any ideas?

My student has been using Lightroom 4 with Photoshop CS5 on her Mac for well over a year. Because of the difference between the Camera raw version available to her in Photoshop CS5 and the raw process in Lightroom 4, she has been exporting her raw images from Lightroom and choosing the "Render using Lightroom option when it popped up in the dialogue box. She has been doing this for over a year and a half without any problem. Today when she hit Command E no dialogue box appeared and the image just opened in Photoshop. I'm concerned that all of her Lightroom edits are not being rendered to Photoshop. Anyone have an idea as to how we can get the "Render using Lightroom" dialogue back?

HT3696 How to know if your mac is using the latest Haswell architecture processor or not? and how to know the difference between the new imac and the 2012/13 imac?

How to know if your mac is using the latest Haswell architecture processor or not? and how to know the difference between the new imac and the 2012/13 imac?

Sorry to reopen an old post, but I've just purchased a 2nd hand late-2013 iMac (or so thats what the seller said).
I'm always sceptical though, and just wanted to know if there is a way to check if my iMac is indeed the late-2013 model that included Haswell?
I've attached screenshots of the About This Mac section hoping it may help shed some light.
Thank you in advance for your help!
PS - I can't compare to the iMac specs link you posted above because its now showing the late-2014 models.

Short of trying to then reverse-engineer the objects that are in the dump file (I believe Data Pump export files contain some XML representations of DDL in addition to various binary bits, making it potentially possible to try to scan the dump file for the object definitions), I would tend to assume that the export didn't include those type definitions.
Since it looks like you're trying to set up the sample schemas, is there a reason that you wouldn't just run the sample schema setup scripts on the destination database? Why are you using Data Pump in the first place?

I am trying to check the last date (i.e. max date) and also check the penultimate date (i.e. the second to the last date). And then find the difference between the two (i.e. last date minus penultimate
date).
I would like to do that for each of the companies listed in Table 2: Tickers. I am able to do it for just one company (MSFT) using the queries below:
SELECT
[First] = MIN(ExDate),
[Last] = MAX(ExDate),
[Diff] = DATEDIFF(DAY, MIN(ExDate), MAX(ExDate))
FROM (
SELECT TOP 2 Dividends.ExDate
FROM Dividends, Tickers
WHERE Dividends.symId=Tickers.symId
AND Tickers.Symbol='MSFT'
ORDER BY ExDate DESC
) AS X
Outputs the following result:
First
Last
Diff
2012-11-13
2013-02-19
98
But what I would like instead is to be able to output something like this:
Symbol
First
Last
Diff
MSFT
2012-11-13
2013-02-19
98
AAN
2012-11-13

Can anyone please let me know what do I need to add on my query in order to achieve the desired output?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Difference between the Creative Decoder DDTS-100 & Creative Home Theater Connect DTS-

I've had the Klipsch ProMedia Ultra 5. System for years now for my PC with a Sound Blaster card, and I just got a MacBook.
http://www.klipsch.com/products/details/promedia-ultra-5-.aspx
I've asked on the Klipsch message board about a digital decoder. I was recommended the Creative Decoder DDTS-00
http://us.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=4&subcategory=36&product=9468
but I also found the Creative Home Theater Connect DTS-60 for less money, any idea what the difference between the two would be?
http://us.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=&subcategory=6&product=49

No, for the reason mentionned in the stickies. But since you seems not knowing much on digital sound let me explain.
Digital means it's coded with 0 and , and therefor only cable is sufficient. You might know there is many sound formats for home cinema, like Dolby Digital and DTS. And a digital decoder need to be input a compatible sound stream to be able to decode it. Which means the soundcard MUST be able to convert it's output sound in one receiver compatible format.
Creative cards cannot do this kind of thing.
Another thing: current home theater sound format are limited to 6. (DD-EX and DTS-ES). So you would not be able to achieve more than 6..
THX isn't a sound format, only a certification. The THX calibrator is a must have component to correctly calibrate your speakers to enhance you sound experience.
If you need to have TRUE surround up to 7. channels you don't need to use digital connection because it's simply useless.

Difference between invoking a method using reflect.proxy and reflect.Method

Could any one tell me the difference between invoking a method using reflection java.lang.reflect.Method and java.lang.reflect.Proxy
using both the class, we can invoke a method at runtime
1)
Method mthd=cl.getMethod("methodName",parameterName);
Integer output=(Integer)mthd.invoke(new RunMthdRef(),input);
2)
Proxy.newProxyInstance(super.getClass().getClassLoader(), new Class[] { adapter }, new SomeClass(this));
Does anybody have any idea?

The two idioms are fundamentally different. Using java.lang.reflect.Method is how we call a method on a class, using Proxy is how we intercept that method call. An exercise for you, to illustrate that they do not do the same thing: write a simple class with one method, then use java.lang.reflect.Method to invoke that method, and then use a Proxy to invoke that method

Difference between the subledger amount and the expense amount

Hi everybody
I am using PPAC Cost method to book OPM transactions to subledger, the subledger update process is generating RCA postings related to GL Expense cost components at average cost (Batch Certify subevent). This is resulting in a difference between the subledger amount and the expense amount. It is required to generate RCA postings based on allocated expense amount and not based on the average cost.
Did u face such problem before ? can anybody help me ?
Thank You and Best Regards

Hi
Mmd.
The difference between the subledger amount and the expense amount MUST be adjusted using Adjustment form
Navigation: Finanacial-->Cost Management--> Actual Costing-->Adjustment
where u can see the Actual Cost adjustments form and u can adjust the diff.
hope this is cleat to u.

Difference between Customer Generated Extractors and Generic Extractors

Hi all,
Can anyone please tell me the difference between Customer Generated Extractors and Generic Extractors. I know that for all modules Generic extraction is possible by creating a datasource(RSO2) on top of a table, View or SAP Query in SE11. What are customer generated extractors like LIS, CO/PA and FI/SL.
What kind of extraction is used for FI/AR and FI/AP. To my understanding we have BW Content Extractors. Can anyone explain the extraction method and delta extraction for AR and AP.
Thanks,
Sabrina.

Hi,
Customer generated extractors are running on top of statistics data collection process in R/3. They extract data from statistical tables already available in R/3 and also use the mechanism already provided in R/3 to capture the delta.
For example, PO data goes to statistical table S012 (it is an LIS table) and you can build a generated extractor on top of it. The difference between such extractor and a generic one is the fact that these extractors (eg LIS) use the same mechanism of capturing delta that the statistics table was doing (for example data that goes into S012 is also captured by these generated extractors). Some system tables and structures are generated automatically to support this functionality, you do not have to develop anything for this.
Generic extractors on the other hand simply let you pull data from table/view/query etc. You have to develop code/functionality to support delta capturing for such extractors. If you built a generic extractor on top of S012 (it is a statistical table - LIS), you can pull its data to BW, but you do not have the delta capturing functionality in such case, you will have to code it yourself.
As a thumb rule, you go with the standard/generated extractors, and use generic extractors only if it is necessary to be so.
FI/AR and FI/AP extractors are part of business content (I think) and support delta functionality. To get detailed info on these, you can also look at help documentation -

What is the difference between the object&realationship.

1.what is the difference between the object&realationship.

What is the difference between "cost object" and
"cost center"? Please see the context below. It says
that cost object and cost center are not the same.
Cost objects :
The units of output resulting from the value-added process with which costs are identified according to how they are incurred.
Cost objects can be independent entities (called cost object IDs), or they can represent other entities (such as orders or projects).
The functions of preliminary costing, simultaneous costing, and final costing can be performed on cost objects.
The following cost objects can be used in the SAP System:
Product cost collectors
Production orders
Process orders
Cost object IDs
Sales order items
Cost center is an controlling object and Cost object is also one of the controlling objects. Other controlling objects are
Cost centers (for account assignment of costs)
· Orders
· Projects
· Networks
· Make-to-order sales orders
· Cost objects
· Profitability segments
· Real Estate Objects
· Business Processes
Primary costs are transferred from external
accounting and classified according to managerial
accounting perspectives. If the primary costs are
direct costs, then they are assigned to cost objects.
Need not be. They can be assigned to any of the controlling obejcts. Generally for primay costs we use Cost center as the controlling object. we can also use IO in which case u have to resort to peridic or full settlement. Apart from Cost center other objects require either periodic or full settlement of the cost collected.> If they are overhead costs, then they are assigned to
cost centers or overhead cost orders. The system then
allocates them using internal allocation techniques,
according to their source
Cost centers or other objects collects theprimary costs and then can be allocated to other objects based on the sender receiver relationship u define.

Difference Between the grouped column

Hi ,
I have matrix based report in which the columns are dynamically generated based on the month and year.
3 filter value in the report
quarter,
year and
Previous 12 months .
Katherine community moderator reporting services helped me achieving the with a similar kind of report. Due to some difference from the previous requirement am posting a new question .
Current Matrix Outcome :
Desired Outcome
Please note that the Month columns are dynamically generated so for example if the filter value is quarterly
3 months will be generated , march-14,april-14,may-14 and then i need to display the difference
in new columns like march-14 - april-14 ,april-14-may-14. The column headers of the new differential columns i can achieve
but the difference between the types on monthly basis am unable to achieve.
Similarly it goes for the yearly and previous 12 months filter value.
Kindly let me know if more detail is required .
Thanks
Priya

Hi Priya,
According to your description, you have a matrix in your report. Now for each month, you want to always get the difference value between current month and previous month with columns generated. Right?
In Reporting Service, if we want to compare values of two adjacent columns in a matrix, the best way is using custom code to deal with the logic. In this scenario, we want to compare the current value with previous value. The difference value is always along
with columns generated. So we suggest put this column inside of group instead of appending them at the end of the matrix. In this column, we can call the function defined in the custom code. We have tested this case in our local environment. Here are steps
and screenshots for your reference:
Put the custom code into report:
Private queueLength As Integer = 2
Private queueSum As Double = 0
Private queueFull As Boolean = False
Private idChange As String=""
Dim queue As New System.Collections.Generic.Queue(Of Integer)
Public Function CumulativeQueue(ByVal currentValue As Integer,id As String) As Object
Dim removedValue As Double = 0
If idChange <> id then
ClearQueue()
idChange = id
queueSum = 0
queueFull = False
CumulativeQueue(currentValue,id)
Else
If queue.Count >= queueLength Then
removedValue = queue.Dequeue()
End If
queueSum += currentValue
queueSum -= removedValue
queue.Enqueue(currentValue)
If queue.Count < queueLength Then
Return Nothing
ElseIf queue.Count = queueLength And queueFull = False Then
queueFull = True
Return (queueSum-currentValue-currentValue)
Else
Return (queueSum-currentValue-currentValue)
End If
End If
End Function
public function ClearQueue()
Dim i as Integer
Dim n as Integer = Queue.Count-1
for i=n To 0 Step-1
queue.Dequeue()
next i
End function
Create a matrix based on your information. Put expression into corresponding position.
A: =Code.CumulativeQueue(Fields!Amount.Value,Fields!Type.Value)
B: =IIF(Previous(Fields!Month.Value) is nothing,"",MonthName(IIF(Previous(Fields!Month.Value) is nothing,1,Previous(Fields!Month.Value)))&" - "&MonthName(Fields!Month.Value))
C: =MonthName(Fields!Month.Value)
Ps : You may need to modify the custom code and expression based on the data type in your dataset.
Create parameter for filtering data.
Save and preview. It looks like below:

SSRS 2008 R2 - Add moving average to column group
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Difference between the design of clusters PCLx and others like RFBLG etc .

There are a few nagging questions which I was not able to find in the forum hence i have to post a new question.
I am a little confused about the difference between the different clusters .
If i start with RFBLG i.e. the cluster for BSEG BSEC etc ,I can see that the tables which are part of this cluster
can be viewed through different methods like
1) whr usd list for RFBLG
2) dd02l table and give the required parameters there
now when I compare this with another so-called cluster PCL1 if find that PCL1 is not recognized as a cluster
and also I am not able to see the same in dd02l table when i give PCL1 and the tabtype as cluster which I was able to see
for the RFBLG ,there are other tables similar to RFBLG .
1) SO what is the difference between the RFBLG type of clusters and the PCLx type of cluster
2) are pclx and rfblg..type of clusters same ?
3) why does PCL1 shows that it is a transparent table ? where as rfblg shows in a diff way in se11
4) i know we access data from PCL1 using import and export stmts ,DO OR CAN WE DO THE SAME FOR RFBLG
5) I found that each and evry cluster table had diff fields ,this was kinda surprising for me as I had been thinking
that all cluster tables need to follow a certain rule ,SO WHO DECIDES THE FIELDS OF A TABLE CLUSTER ?
6) PCL1 has the index button enabled ,which again I think is not according to the cluster table rules?how?
7) I understand that we can save data in form of internal tables in the PCL1 cluster ,can we do the same in RFBLG ?
8) Can I think on lines that PCL1 and RFBLG type of cluster are two totally different types of data dictionary objects
and the usage and implementation of both of them is different and that the design and the BASE of both of such objects
is different .
I know this is a long list but I am sure that answers to these questions would really require some one who has really really work hard and invested a lot of time in understanding the dictionary system.I am awaiting a few answers ,few hints and a healthy discussion till we get them .
Thanks ...

Hello,
1/
BSEG is a typical Cluster Table.
This means that the physical table BSEG does NOT exist in the database, physical data for BSEG is stored in the database (table) cluster RFBLG.
In ABAP however you can perform selects on BSEG (with all fields from the SAP repository structure, see SE11 on BSEG), during execution the SAP database layer will translate these statements to physical selects in the RFBLG database table, so in ABAP this is transparant.
More info :
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/cf/21f083446011d189700000e8322d00/content.htm|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/cf/21f083446011d189700000e8322d00/content.htm]
2/
PCL1, PCL2, ... are normal SAP transparent tables, however in HR they are often called HR cluster table.
Transparent tables are SAP objects where there is also a database table with the same name that contains the physical data.
However the PCL tables are somewhat different from normal transparent tables (data is compressed, external programs can not interpret the data, ...).
This means that in ABAP you can not use simple SQL statements to access data in PCL tables (because of compressed format).
In stead statements like EXPORT TO DATABASE and IMPORT FROM DATABASE need to be used.
