Forms 9i Online Help Interface

I installed forms 9i and Changed NLS_LANG parameter to AMERICAN_AMERICA.
The normal menus is in English now but still the menus for the online help is displayed in Arabic Language.. I want the whole development enviroment to be in Egnlish Language Interface..
How Can I do that???

Sounds like a Bug - I suspect that the Help system (because it is Java) is picking up the Environment settings from the control panel rather than from NLS_LANG - If you change your locale using the control panel does it then change?
Anyway you shoudl log a TAR with Oracle Support to get them to log a bug on this.

Forms online help where can I found on my disk

where can i found on my disk Oracle Forms online help (help that is embeded with Oracle Forms - with F1 button)? Is there any reference to this help on the internet?

start at otn.oracle.com/products/forms and also check out my blog entry
http://www.groundside.com/blog/content/GrantRonald/Forms_in_SOA/2006/05/25/Teaching-you-to-fish.html
there is a link to documentation on the forms home page

Forms Online help disappeared

Previously (at least until last week) the Forms Online Help was available here:
http://www.oracle.com/webapps/online-help/forms/10g/state?navSetId=_&navId=0
but this link results in a 404.
It would be the same as the one shipped with Forms Builder, but it's a little bit hard to post links to my local online help when I want to suggest to use a documented builtin...
Could someone please restore the documentation or at least update the announcement here with the URL where the documentation is located now?
cheers

It might have to do with SSL/SSO implementation they put into production recently. Since the forums are on SSL and the new fancy login screen got added the whole forum seems to behave quite unstable. I get the "We are sorry blah blah blah" screen almost every second time I click on a link here in the forums. Hopefully they didn't vaporize the docs permanently as it was a good resource to point to....
cheers

Online Help in Web Deployed Forms App

In a Designer generated Forms app deployed across intranet via Forms Server, what options do I have for an online help system? Is Designer's ability to generate MS Help files useful outside client/server environment? Thanks in advance.

I'd also consider checking a test case with Oracle Support to confirm its the same issue as well.

I want to include mouse spotlight feature in our online help so that interface could be explain more easily

We use Adobe robohelp to provide online help for our product. i am currently doing a research to include mouse spotlight feature, such that when the user moves the cursor on a certain part of the image, help pops up for that part only and rest of the image is dim.
To get an idea, if any one has visited vodafone website, there the help for the bill page appears in a such manner. i want to replicate the same for my help page.
is this possible through robohelp or dreamweaver or any other product of robohelp.
or work around for this feature using any other product of robohelp..
any idea or suggestion would be appreciated
Thanks

Nsj

Acrobat Distiller 11 "Online Help Content Cannot be displayed."

Any one else packaged Adobe Acrobat 11 and found that all of the help menus display "Online Help Content cannot be displayed. Verify you can launch your web browser and have access to the Internet."? The problem is for Acrobat and Distiller, Adobe Forms Central is fine.
Ideally there'd be a way just to make the application be able to access the adobe help on the Internet. I tried adding the FeatureState registry key as we are behind an authenticating proxy. This made no difference.
As this didn't seem possible I've configured Acrobat to hide the affected menues and created a new menu which opens the Acrobat_ref.pdf - so Acrobat is now ok. However, I can't find the Distiller pdfs, i.e. "distiller parameters guide" and "pdfmark guide". Also I am unsure how you would configure Distiller to point to these on the local machine. I've used the Adobe Customization Wizard to create the package.
Any help would be much appreciated.

I think you are looking for this PDF which is called "Adobe PDF Creation Settings".

Single source for different online help guides

I am glad that the single source layout pod in RH7 supports
different channels.
I also need to output to different online webhelps using
shared topics. This is what should be called single source.
Is it the best practice to create a set of taylored and
overlapping TOCs for a related set of online helps?
My working environment consists of a single software product
with different user interfaces for different types (and levels) of
users. For each type of interface, a different webhelp is mounted.
How can I make sure that the online help title displayed in
the web help browser tab is the correct one for each variation of
the online help?

Single source is anything that lets you get more than one
output from one source, be those outputs ten different webhelp
outputs or just one and a printed document output.
You can have as many webhelp outputs as you can manage. Right
click and add new ones or copy existing ones as a base.
Best practice depends on your content. You can have different
TOCs for each output or you can have a smaller number and apply
conditional tags. So with say 10 outputs you could have just three
or four TOCs and apply conditional tags to vary them. It's whatever
works best for you and can be understood by anyone you work with.
The scenario you describe would be ideal for the way RH
works.
The title bar and browser tab take their text from the
Project Title in Project Settings so you will need to change that
for each output.

Cannot access online help in cs6cc

Following appears when trying to access Help via CS6CC
"Adobe Photoshop CC"
There was an error launching the default browser.
You ma need to re-install the application and the
help component.
If the issue is because I do not nor will I ever
use Google chrome or google of any flavor, I guess
I have a problem.
Sorry, do not trust google in any form.

Then what you would do is install a favorite browser and set it as default in that Browser's Preferences.
Photoshop online help does not require the Chrome browser. My online help for CS6, CC, and CC 2014 opens in FireFox.

UPK 11 Installation into EBS - Link to Standard Online Help goes away

Hello,
I have a question where I need your help. We have installed EBS R12.1.3 and UPK 11. As soon as we perform the described steps in the In-Application Support Guide for UPK11, we are getting only the UPK Player back, when we click on "help in EBS". The Standard Helps is gone, and we can't bring it back. This is the case for the Forms and the Web Interface.
We would like to get a choice if we like to continue with
a) UPK Player or
b) EBS Standard Help
Has anyone an idea how to solve it?
Kr
Volker

Hello Kerry,
thanks for your replay. Let me explain how I have understood the way to work with In-Application UPK Content.
If you enable context sensitive recording in UPK (new profile option in EBS R12.1.3.), your content will be marked and each topic will be flagged to be related to EBS. The idea behind is to limit the topics when a user asks for UPK help to the once which are related to the current form.
This marker is also related to the generation of the /oracle/hemi/oracle_gateway.html file as part of your content, which is located in my "Publishing Content/PlayerPackage/oracle/hemi" folder.
So I took everything under PlayerPackage and have put it into my EBS folder $OA_HTML/PlayerPackage (simple ftp).
I changed the Web Agent profile value which points currently to /OA_HTML/PlayerPackage/oracle/hemi/oracle_gateway.html and it works like described in my first post.
The content we are deploying this way is only related to EBS. In addition we have recorded more Topics related to other 3rd party systems. We haven't decided yet where to put this. Personally I wouldn't put that into the same folder, but would create some links from a to-be-created help entry screen (simple html) to allow users to go to EBS UPK help directly or to any other 3rd party UPK material. In all cases my own links will point to the different Players' package oracle_gateway.html files.
PS: we are currently investigating to which extend the metalink note ID 1446398.1 helps us (the Peoplesoft part)
Is my explanation helpful?
Any follow up question is welcome!

Customizing Online Help and versioning

Hello all!
The Online Help my team creates supports a software application that is almost 100% customizable by our clients. Therefore, different clients may need documentation/help for their customized modules, which would not be delivered with base Online Help.
That being said, I'm wondering how versioning would work. If a customer wants to add on to our base Online Help and we delivered to our customers our base files, how could we control versioning? For example, if we delivered Online Help files for the 7.4.0 release of our software and customers purchase their own RoboHelp license to add their own content, what would happen to their new content when we deliver the Online Help files for the next release of our software? Everything would be overwritten, correct?
The only way I can think to do this is to recommend to our customers who want to add on to our base Online Help that they store their customized files outside of the base Online Help folder structure and manually reimport the files when we deliver new help files. Which seems like a lot of work.
Any idea would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks!

Providing online Help for Flex-based applications

I have been asked to provide online Help for a Flex application. As I have never done this before, I have a few questions:
- What is the format for the Help topics?
- Are there control-type files (e.g., TOC, index, project file) that need to be created? If so, what is the format for these?
- Is the Help compiled? If so, which compiler is used?
- How is context-sensitive Help created?
I'd also like to know if there are any resources I could look at that covers these Help issues. Thanks.

Hi,
You can acheive the same by the addition of [USER-COMMAND fcode].
RADIOBUTTON GROUP group [USER-COMMAND fcode] - The addition USER-COMMAND can be used to assign a function code fcode to the first parameter in a radio button group. The function code fcode must be specified directly, and have a maximum length of 20 characters. When the user selects any radio button of the radio button group on the selection screen, the runtime environment triggers the event AT SELECTION-SCREEN and transfers the function code fcode to the component ucomm of the interface work area sscrfields.
So you code should be altered as
PARAMETERS: rb_appl RADIOBUTTON GROUP rad
                     USER-COMMAND radclick    "Addition which you have to make.
                     DEFAULT 'X',
            rb_pres RADIOBUTTON GROUP rad ,
            p_file   TYPE ibipparms-path.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR p_file.
IF rb_appl = 'X'.
    PERFORM f_applictn_server_filenm.
ELSEIF rb_pres = 'X'.
    PERFORM f_presentation_filenm.
ENDIF.
