Frame Maker tcp variable

Hi, I am using Frame Maker 7.0 versionp576 in windows xp and solaris 5.9 version. We use this for Frame Maker template creation. Frame maker template creaton is done using windows XP and using the created MIF file, we generate PDF output. When I create a template where I create tables, elements etc using Adobe FrameMaker 7.0 versionp576 in windows XP and save the file. The created MIF file has <tcp variable name in it. I would want to know what the <tcp variable mean in Frame maker. Please help. Thank You.

Searching through the MIF Reference documentation doesn't produce any
hits on tcp, so I suspect that is a user-defined variable inserted
into the template.

Variables like breadcrumbs in frame maker?

Hello together,
I would like to add a kind of breadcrumbs (at webseite -> you are here: Start > Adobe Community > Frame Maker > ....) for all headings in framemaker.
e.g.: You are here/Path: Heading 1 - Heading 2 - Heading 3
By adding variables with <$absText[Titel1]> just <$paratext appears. Titel1 is the Paragraph-Tag.
It should work automatically, ideally on the reference page, using cross references is to much work as I have always to choose the actual Heading.
Can anyone please help me?
Thanks a lot in advance

Hi, Russ:
Just because we see things a bit differently is EXACTLY the opportunity to discuss them and perhaps gain insights to things we didn't think through too thoroughly.
In my case, D'OH! I was considering print formats like PDF, so I was thinking deeply inside the box, just to a static breadcrumb mindset that simply displayed the nested levels of hierarchy on any given page. Same one. Forever, unless the document is revised and reexported to PDF. BAH! I completely ignored the fundamental nature of breadcrumbs: they trace your progress backwards, so they need to be dynamic. YES, you're right!
I can't say "you win," because it wasn't a contest - we're both looking for ways to help users. But, I can say, "thanks for making me think better."
Now, if there's a way to hijack a PDF viewer application to capture the traceback data it stores for a user's session, and display that info as breadcrumbs, that would be great! It's probably not trivial to engineer that in a PDF viewer, and probably not possible to engineer in FrameMaker so that the tracebacks are captured and displayed when the PDF that originaged in FM is viewed.

Peter

Hi Peter,
Interesting commentary. However, I find the comparison to RoboHelp as a bit like apples to oranges. In RoboHelp, there are clear and natural delimiters between the units represented by the bread-crumbs, that is; the source files themselves. Additionally, there is an explicit hierarchy represented by the project TOC to guide breadcrumb generation. No such natural delimiters or explicit hierarchy exists in an FM file, with a modest exception for a structured FM file. Even still, the decision of what entity should be represented by a breadcrumb could be completely arbitrary, as there could be any names for heading styles, heading elements, etc. And, that's assuming that you are looking to breadcrumb headings in the first place, which also might be arbitrary. And above all that... you would have to insert content all over the place throughout a file (and the location, styling, etc. etc. could also be arbirary), then be able to clearly recognize each instance with each breadcrumb refresh. Adding to all of that, it looks like KammOptima wants to use images.
So anyway, thinking about this from an engineering perspective, it seems like a wildly complicated request, at least to figure out a generic tool that would be broadly useful. I wouldn't claim that I am the sharpest engineer in the drawer, though, so perhaps you can convince me that I'm over complicating this.

How do I make a variable path in AppleScript?

I'm mass distributing an application, and for the next update I want to add customization. My application currently make a folder in the "Documents" folder. The folder is called "MCL_CONFIG". What I need to do is make a unicode text file in "MCL_CONFIG". Since it's going to be used on many different computers the path to where I'm making the new file has to change depending on the user. How can I make a variable path to a non-directory? Here's the section of my code with the problem:
tell application "Finder"
    if folder MCLConfig exists then
    else
        display dialog "Welcome to Mc Launcher! You will only recieve this message once, unless you delete the MCL_CONFIG folder." buttons {"Ok"} default button 1
        make new folder at New_User with properties {name:"MCL_CONFIG"}
    end if
end tell
It's not shown but I set the variable MCLCONFIG to (path to documents folder from user domain) & "MCL_CONFIG" as text.
As a side note how do I make the code look like it does in applescript, here?

You can do something like:
set supportFolder to ((path to application support from user domain) as text)
set appName to "My Spiffy App"
set subFolder to "MCL_CONFIG"
tell application "Finder" -- add application support folders if needed
if not (exists folder (supportFolder & appName)) then
    make new folder at folder supportFolder with properties {name:appName}
    make new folder at result with properties {name:subFolder}
end if
end tell
Edit: it is recommended that the folder in Application Support be named with your application's bundle identifier, but most just use the application name.

Reason why Justin's code does not work for other days is date format mask DAY returns day blank padded to 9 characters which is the longest day name which, yes you guessed right, is WEDNESDAY. You either need to blank pad or use format modifier FM:

Frame Maker 10 with S1000D - Figure TOC not in format

I am using Frame Maker 10 with S1000D Application Pack, i have new document from S1000D->New->Crew Modle, inputing the data as per the Elements and updating the TOC S1000D->Update TOCs all works fine, but when i insert the Figure and updated the TOCs its not in the format
When i checked the sample document which is given in FM 10 S1000D, Once i Insert the Element "Figure Title" it inputs auto number...but not in Crew Modle.
Please help me how to go with this

This formatting error is due to a missing text format rule in the Crew Module application. The quickest way to fix this is as follows:
Locate the S1000D application files within the FrameMaker installation folder.
Open the EDD for the Crew application: crew_401.edd.fm.
Also open the EDD for the Description application: description_401.edd.fm.
In the crew EDD locate the figureTitle element definition which is in the Graphics section. You should see that figureTitle has no formatting rules.
The Description EDD does include the required formatting rules, so simply copy those rules into the Crew EDD.
Save the Crew EDD. This may require changing the EDD's file permissions to allow read/write access.
Open the Crew template: crew_401.tpl.fm.
Import the EDD into the template using File > Import > Element Definitions...
Save the Crew template.
Open the crew data module, the List of Figures will now show the correct formatting.
Note: Do not import the EDD directly into an open data module as that will overwrite the attribute values as defined by the BREX mapping.

Frame Maker 9 Cross References Question

Howdy,
I got two documents the original and a translated version of it. The original has a bunch of working cross references and it's all fine and dandy. The translated one on the other has a bunch of broken cross-references, chapter headers, headers in general and what not. Almost all of the "code" broke when the translator did it.
Either way, that's easy enough to fix it, I can just copy the working code from the original and paste into the translated document and it will generaelly fix the error.
Now for the question - Since my translated document is a couple of pages longer than the original due to the translation can I still copy of the cross references from the first document over, and it will be all fine and dandy?
Basically I didn't write either docuements I'm just fixing formatting and other errors, and I'm not entirely 100% how Frame Maker does it cross references are they based on a page number/paragraph parameters, or something like under X subheading go here and that's how it links.
TL;DR How do Cross refernces work in FM9? And if I have a translated doc longer than my original, can those same Cross references work in both docs?
Thanks much for any help/insight.
Dean,

Almost all of the "code" broke when the translator did it.
They probably deleted the Cross-Ref Markers when over-typing the text. If Text Symbols were off during edit, that's pretty easy to do.
... and I'm not entirely 100% how Frame Maker does it cross references are they based on a page number/paragraph parameters, or something like under X subheading go here and that's how it links.
Unless you are Xref'ing a hand-created Marker, Frame auto-creates a Marker, of type "Cross-Ref" at the start of the target paragraph. It also auto creates an Mtext tag, which contains what appears to be a unique number string, the Paragraph Format name and the paragraph text (including any auto number). There is also a <Unique> tag with another unique number string.
When resolving references, my impression is that Frame first searches for the <Unique> number, and if not found, then for the Mtext string, and then possibly for the Mtext string without the leading number string.
If the translators do two things, I would expect the Xrefs to port:
Don't disturb Xref Markers. This can be tough, because it's sometimes hard to select text and not nab leading Markers, and because all Marker symbols look alike, and the Index markers do need to be messed with.
Don't translate text defined by Markers. That text will auto-translate from the source text at Update.

How to make a variable global to use in all of my cfm page?

I have a problem with the variables.
i need to use a variable " loginrecord" in all of my cfm pages, its created in my login.cfm and the value of this needed in other page and maybe i need to change it .
in ASP simply we can use SESSION to make a variable global , is there any way in coldfusion ?
also in ASP we have a command SESSION.SESSIONID , so return the unique number from browser and we can se it as a security check for each one of people login to our site and each one is seperate random and unique number , is there any similar in coldfusion ?
Thanks
Alireza

Thanks,
the reason at the moment i stock with this command is i need to have login information available in all the pages to check the security. the good point i had in ASP is SESSION.SESSIONID , it make a unique number base on browser and i can check it if user loged in or no , or if loged in is the same user or other user . i couldnt find same command in coldfusion , and now i use <cflogin> but if i can find the way to have a browser session it help me in other part of my program.
i start coldfusion new ( near a month ) i have some book and Lynda DVDs, also online sources , and in this priod i re developed one of my program from ASP to coldfusion and its work. i am happy of this and help me to develop better and faster . in compare the coldfusion developed one realy is 40% original development in size and 50% faster . i have good background of ASP in last 8 years include MCSD and developed many program for a small and big companies. but i wanna to continue with coldfusion because i found it more helpfull than ASP specialy in FLASH development .
BTW thanks for your help

How can I add links to open xml and csv files stored in another location? Please advice how to place links in my frame maker document?

Special > Hypertext > Command "open document" will do its best to open the target document inside FrameMaker, which may not be much help; Special > Hypertext > Command "message …" will use the application you specify. The user guide for 7.0 says this about absolute links, and I don't think anything has changed since:
For example, to start PaintBrush and open the Ship.pcx file on drive C you would use the command message system pbrush.exe C:/Ship.pcx
I've not often used a relative link, and not recently: the same source says
folder levels are separated by a slash / even in Windows and Mac
[relative links] FrameMaker searches for a relative pathname beginning in the folder that contains the current document
[absolute links] FrameMaker searches for an absolute pathname beginning at the top of the file system. In Windows, the absolute pathname begins with the drive specifier, a colon and a slash.

What is Authoring Workflow in Adobe Frame Maker for Author / reviewer

Hello All,
I am new to Adobe Frame Maker and want to understand Workflow concept for Adobe frame maker.
I have multiple Authors want to perform role of editor / reviewer etc.. want to follow process before doing publish.
Is there any pre-defined workflow template in Adobe frame maker ? multiple user / author / reviewer decide and edit the 1 document before doing publish.
I have EMC Documentum CMS integration, will it be Documentum workflow or normal Frame Maker workflow.
Can some one provide pointers/ URL/ documentation for Workflow integration for XML file / DITA file creation using Frame Maker.
Thanks in advance!

Hope my question is clear ?

Installing same versions of Frame maker on one system (7.0 and 7.2)

I am using Frame maker 7.2 for creating user manuals. The tool we are using for generating OLH is
Web Works Publisher for frame maker 7.0. Currently I have installed FM 7.0 and WWP on virtual machine
while I work directly on FM 7.2 version and only use 7.0 from Virtual machine while creating OLH
This is a very complicated process as I have to copy all my files into the virtual machine folder
and then create Help files.
Can we install both 7.0 and 7.2 version on the same system (not virtual)
so that when I document the manuals on 7.2 fm, I can close the files and open the same file in 7.0
versions to generate help files.

Yes, you can have multiple versions installed on the same machine. I have one that's running 7.2, 8, and 9... no problems.
As far as 7 and 7.2 go, if it was me, I'd just go with 7.2. There isn't a difference in the file format, so files can be opened with either version. And 7.2 is more stable, has fewer bugs, and better import/export filters.

How to make a variable:

I am trying to figure out how to make a variable:
Ex. I have two fields feildA and fieldB
I want fieldA to be dependant on fieldB
if fieldB is 1 then fieldA is 25
These are all the other variables
1 = 25
2 = 30
3 = 40
4 = 50
5 = 65
6 = 75
7 = 85
8 = 95
9 = 105
10 =115
Thanks!! CJ

One way is to set up field A as a calculated field, using a script like the following:
// Calculate script for field A
(function () {
    // Set up object to associate values
    var vals = {
        1: 25,
        2: 30,
        3: 40,
        4: 50,
        5: 65,
        6: 75,
        7: 85,
        8: 95,
        9: 105,
        10: 115
    // Get value of field B
    var v = getField("fieldB").value;
    // Set this field's value based on the value of field B
    if (typeof vals[v] !== "undefined") {
        event.value = vals[v];
    } else {
        // If corresponding value is not present, blank this field
        event.value = "";
Replace "fieldB" in the code with the actual name of the field you're using.
You could also use similar code in the Validate event of field B to set the value of field A.

How to make tcp have establish option's function or reflexive in ASA like icmp have echo reply

how to make tcp have establish option's function or reflexive in ASA like icmp have echo reply
rather than permit tcp in both side

An ASA firewall is stateful.
The reflexive access for TCP connections (or UDP flows) is allowed by default as the firewall checks for established connections prior to applying an access-list on traffic that arrives at an interface.
Excerpted from this document (emphasis mine):
"Here are the individual steps in detail:
Packet is reached at the ingress interface.
Once the packet reaches the internal buffer of the interface, the input counter of the interface is incremented by one.
Cisco ASA will first verify if this is an existing connection by looking at its internal connection table details. If the packet flow matches an existing connection, then the access-control list (ACL) check is bypassed, and the packet is moved forward.
If packet flow does not match an existing connection, then TCP state is verified. If it is a SYN packet or UDP packet, then the connection counter is incremented by one and the packet is sent for an ACL check. If it is not a SYN packet, the packet is dropped and the event is logged."

Query about Frame maker 11

Hi All
This is regarding a query about Frame maker 11.
I have seen the in the FDK guide of FM 11 which states that "To compile FDK clients for Windows, you must use Microsoft Visual Studio 2010."
So do we need a separate installation of Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 in order to develop/compile FDK clients apart from FM11 installation or is its a part of FM11 software?
could you please any one can clarify on this .
Thank you .
Regards
Ramesh

AFAIK, you have to supply your own IDE & compiler.
