How to apply new templates to legacy FrameMaker documents?

I have to update the overall style of a large number of legacy FrameMaker 6/7/8 documents. These documents implement a set of legacy FrameMaker templates.
I'd like to know how can I apply a new FrameMaker template to a legacy document, so that the styles of legacy document are updated. Also, is there some way to "batch-process" new template application to legacy documents, reducing the time involved in updates?
Regards,

Hi vmugdha,
With FrameMaker 6/7/8/9 you can update existing formats.
That means, format names did not change, only their defnition.
You do this with File | Import | Formats.
Helpful is here e.g. Rick Quatro's ImportFormatsSpecial:
http://www.frameexpert.com/plugins/importformatsspecial/index.htm
When also format names changed, you need something which maps old formats
to new formats. As already mentioned, Cudspan's TemplateMapper can do this:

Helpful is also Rick Quatro's FindChangeSpecial:

Best regards

  • How to apply a template to a page uploaded using sftp?

    I would like to upload the .html document with the appropriate template using sftp instead of applying the template using BC's back end.

    Hi,
    You cannot apply/assign a template to a page via sftp.  You'll need to action this via back-end or using DW.  Since you prefer not doing this in the back-end DW extension would be the alternative.

  • How to apply New ADF Faces Skin into JHeadStart Application

    Hi
    I have downloaded the new skins such as srdemo,mycompany..
    I have only changed skinfamily value in adf-faces-config file but when i generate application with JAG the new skin does not apply it.
    Can anybody help me what's the problem?
    thanks

    This should work fine. Did you accidently re-enable JHeadstart on your project? This wil overwrite adf-faces-config.xml again, so double check your skin family is specified correctly.

  • How to apply PO template from test database to live database?

    I have created a PO template in my test database and I want to apply to the live database. Is any way to accomplish this task? i.e. any import or export method between different database? (Test environment or live environment?)

    First go to your TEST database.  Open your PO template in the design mode.
    Go to Print Layout Designer menu --> Display document properties --> General tab and copy the document ID (example: POR200....)
    Please Note:   
    LIVE = [Your LIVE DB NAME] and
    TEST = [Your TEST DB NAME]
    USING SQL
    INSERT INTO [LIVE].[dbo].[RDOC]
    SELECT * FROM [TEST ].[dbo].[RDOC] WHERE [TEST ].[dbo].[RDOC].DOCCODE = 'POR20...'   -
    (document ID copied above)
    INSERT INTO [LIVE].[dbo].[RITM]
    SELECT [TEST].[dbo].[RITM].* FROM [TEST].[dbo].[RITM]
    WHERE [TEST].[dbo].[RITM].DocCode = 'POR20...'   -
    (document ID copied above)
    This should work.

    Did I miss some thing her.
    Thanks for any help
    Reg. Reza

    Hi,
    I can see SAP_OCS SPAM/SAINT has the correct version with green ligt.
    Which latest version its talking about ? Is it showing like the following with green status ?
    SAPKD70139 SPAM/SAINT Update - Version 701/0039 Imported on .....
    At last when I tried to Import SPAM/SAINT Update again I get this message
    SPAM/SAINT update SAPKD70139 has already been imported successfully
    If you have already imported the SPAM/SAINT update SAPKD70139 successfully, then why you are reimporting the same. The message is explaining the same. Even the main screen of SPAM/SAINT will tell you about the current vesrion of SPAM/SAINT.

  • How to apply new mask to mutiple existing adjustment layers?

    I should know but I don't and my searches don't help so far. Tips appreciated.

    Is there a non-drag shortcut for this (alt-drag)?
    On a slightly different note: A non-drag shortcut for
    add to the selection is ctrl-shift click, and to
    subtract from the selection is ctrl-alt click.
    What is intersect with the selection? (I know that in drag mode, it is shift-alt drag.)
    I hope I haven't muddled this too badly.

  • CHARM how to add new user status to change document

    Can someone please suggest how to add a new user status to a change document ?
    I am looking into adding status "Pending" to Admin correction SDAD.
    Thank you in advance
    Elena

    Hello,
    Asides from the obvious adding of a new status to status profile SDADHEAD, you may want to have a look at the SPRO activities:
    SAP Solution Manager
    -> Scenario-Specific Settings
      -> Change Request Management
       -> Extended Configuration
        -> Change Request Management
         -> Change Transaction
          -> Change Transaction Types
            o Define Status Attributes
    Also activity "Make Settings for Change Transaction Types" in the same path is important.

  • How to add new line items to FI document

    Hi,
    When doing a Post Goods Issue From VL02N I need to add a new line item to the posted FI document.  BADI AC_DOCUMENT allows you to change the FI document, but it doesn't appear to allow you to add any new lines.  In fact the Exporting parameter EX_DOCUMENT-item doesn't even have all of the line item fields like the GL account(hkont).  Can the item component be extended to add the other item fields?
    Or is it best to use a Business Transaction Event such as Process 1120??
    Thanks for any and all advice!
    Doug Crabtree

    Hi Chris,
    The $20 difference represents a variance between what is the Material Master standard price and and another price that is maintained because of the current rapidly escalating commodity prices.  This amount and cost center to post it to has to be determined dynamically at posting time from VL02N.  Finance wants to be able to post this variance to account 40100 to be able to track this.  Our FI analyst has determined that this isn't possible using config. 
    A possible solution is to create a custom program to post an additional FI doc using a BAPI with the additional line item and run it as a periodic job, however a real-time solution would be preferred.
    There are BADI's and substitutions to substitute values, but I haven't found any great way to add additional line items.  Even several BTE's I have looked at such as PROCESS_00001120 say not to change bseg lines. 
    Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
    Doug

  • Apply new style for existing paragraph

    How to apply new style for existing paragraph
    I need to apply existing paragraph style "FEBL1" to bullet list (newstyle)

    May be I am not clear with your question.
    You want to apply any style to a paragraph, you can use grep function:
    app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;        
    app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = ".+";
    app.findGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = "FEBL1";   
    app.changeGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = "bullet list";   
    app.activeDocument.changeGrep();
    app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null; 
    OR
    You want to add bullet list in your existing style "FEBL1", try the below code:
    var pstyles = app.activeDocument.paragraphStyles; 
    for(var i=0;i<pstyles.length;i++) 
        if(pstyles[i].name == "FEBL1")
            pstyles[i].bulletsAndNumberingListType = ListType.BULLET_LIST;

    This issue is really becoming a problem for us. Does anyone have any examples of label templates. The label when generated automatically converts from pontrait to landscape. If you increase the size of the template then word complains about the page and margin size before printing.
    Anyone have any ideas?

  • How to tell what template is applied to a Framemaker file?

    I'm new to Framemaker...so please excuse if this is a silly question.
    We are trying to figure out how to tell what template has been applied to a Framemaker file. We are using the structured view in Framemaker 7.2.
    Perhaps I am thinking too much like a Microsoft Word user -- in which case I can look at what template has been applied to a document.
    Does Framemaker work the same way -- or are templates associated with Framemaker files in some other way?
    Thank you --
    J-Ha

    J-Ha,
    FrameMaker works differently. Strictly speaking, there is no way to tell which template was used last. A FrameMaker template is just a FrameMaker document which you call "template". Using File > Import > Formats you can import all or selected formats from one document to another. The main benefit: Each document is completely self-contained and does not require any other document.
    Many solutions I know of include a user variable named something like "template-version" into their template document or put the version information on one of the reference pages. When importing user variables or reference pages, this can tell you version imported last.
