How to create a back-up version of your helpsystem

My institution is going through a conversion of our core systems in September of this year and I need to develop a process for updating the 700 helpfiles I have within my helpsystem.  Is there a way to create a mirror image of my helpsystem so that I can work con-currently on both helpsystems?  This way when it comes time for conversion in September, I can simply publish the mirror image copy that has been updated with the correct procedures and the old version would no longer be live.
I am currently using RH7 but we are in the process of being updated to RH9 but I am not there yet.  Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much!

Hello again
Personally, I dislike just double-clicking the XPJ to open things up. It may work fine on your system and if it does, I'd say go for it. But I'm notorious for installing many different versions of RoboHelp and other apps on the same system. So I have avoided working that way to open projects because I want to easily control what version of RoboHelp opens when I open a project. My way of working involves first opening RoboHelp (the version I want to use for the session) then opening the project.
Can't help you there with adding the project back to source control. I'm aware of Source Control. I know how it's supposed to work in theory. But I've never used it with RoboHelp. At least not in the recent methods where it's all integrated and RoboHelp operates on your behalf by checking things in and out and all that rot. Personally, I've always avoided integrating because it adds a new level of complexity to the mix. This thread is an excellent example of just one of the many reasons.
Certainly I think I'd try by reversing the steps. And as with anything where you are modifying files, I cannot stress this enough. backups Backups BACKUPS!!!!!
Cheers and best of luck to you... Rick

  • How do I go back to version 5, your version 6 says my web protection cant be used AFTER it updates not before and I want to go back to version 5

    I dont want version 6, I had version 5 happily running and it said I had to update, I have removed firefox for the time being, If I cant have version 5 again working, I will use another browser

    Which security program are you using?
    Have you checked for updates for that program?

  • How Do I roll-back to Version 6.0.5?

    iTunes 7 is despicable. It crashes on me every other minute, and has to go. I tried rolling back to Version 6.0.5, but now I get a message that reads:
    The file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes.
    I've completely uninstalled the evil Vs. 7 and made sure all Apple updater files were removed too, so why are bits of it lurking in my pc stopping me from getting my music back?
    This is a nightmare. 2nd total iPod nightmare. I'm very close to calling it quits with this junk.
    Please help!!!

    Excellent....I did a search for the file name and then opened containing folder and deleted it all.
    Version 6.0.5 is working fine like it did before.
    I cannot believe how bad Version 7 was on my PC.

  • How To Create A Re-Installable Version Of Aperture 3 From The App Store?

    Hi...
    Another question regarding Aperture 3 and the App Store.
    In the FAQ section of the Apple site it says this:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4461
    "How do I back up my purchases?
    We recommend backing up the contents of your Mac regularly, including photos, purchased movies, TV shows, and apps, to ensure that you can easily recover them in the event of a loss. If you need to recover a previously purchased app from the Mac App Store, you can redownload it if it is still available."
    The important bit for me is... "if it is still available".
    So... having bought the software... that I own, I can only install / reinstall it for as long as Apple keep it in the App Store. I'm pretty sure Aperture 3 will disappear as soon as Aperture 4 appears, so are we all only ever locked into effectively RENTING the software with the ability only to re-install for a limited duration? (Rhetorical).
    Therefore my question is:
    How can I create a re-installable version, so that if I need to re-install Aperture, but it's no longer available in the App Store, then I can still re-install the software that I've bought and that I own?
    Thanks for the help,
    Clown Guy

    Hi Clown Guy,
    How can I create a re-installable version, so that if I need to re-install Aperture, but it's no longer available in the App Store, then I can still re-install the software that I've bought and that I own?
    The App Store also says you can use the app on another computer merely by copying it to another machine. I believe people here have had success in doing that. I believe you can back up that Aperture app package and just drop it back in to the new computer, but I've never had the cause to do such a thing. The app is all you would need to "reinstall", although it isn't truly an installation program at that point. On the other hand, other people have not had success in doing that.

  • How to Create a Back button in Flash

    Hi all,
    I need to create a back button for my flash app. It doesn't
    need to be connected with Browser. It just need be able to remember
    what frame they were viewing, and bring them back.
    Is there any event I can use for this? I made an variable
    called "visited:Number" and change it on every frame, but this
    won't work. Once the user enters a new frame, the original visited
    number is replaced by current already. I don't know how to hold
    that number, before they leave the current frame.
    Can anybody give me little clue/direction please?
    Thank you...

    Hi
    I believe that you should look at the Forms functionality for UCM . Under Content Management - Web Form Editor will show up the editor where in you can add buttons and attach functionalities to it . With UCM 11g this is not available thus you might need to use AJAX to build the requirement .
    Thanks

  • How can I revert back to version 5.1 from 6.1. Bluetooth support told me that version 6.1 is not supported. I highly doubt it. My voice recognition reconizes " Call my wife command".

    I just bought a new car. Hyundia Hybrid. My bluetooth is not Reconizing my command to call a contact. I've been back to the dealer and no luck. When speaking to Bluetooth support directly he doesn't see Version 6.1. and suggested going back to Version 5.1 which is documented to be compatable with my Iphone 4s.
    I doubt it because  voice recognition takes the command " Call  Wife" Can I revert back to 5.1 without clearing my phone back to origional settings?

    I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums, but you can use Google to find information on how to install an older version of iOS on any iDevice.

  • How to create caracter set on version 5.0 ECC

    I have difficulty (only on version 5.0 and 4.7) to create caracter set with reference(or create it anyhow).
    On version 4.6 there is no problem (I can do that like described in course BC305).
    Transaction "spad"->Full administation-> character set->change-> character
    set-> character set->create using template(or just create)
    How could I do that in version 5.0 ECC?
    I have intention to modify char set afterwards as some character are printed incorrecty on a printer device (Digital LG14)after upgrade.
    This device is defined on unix acess type "L" with a custom made device type using a custom made character set
    9452.
    Otherwise(on other printers) I have no problem with characters using acess type "S" with a device type "I2SWIN"(using character set 1406).
    Do you have any idea(tomorrow I will visit customer facing this problem first time). I plan to try the custom made device type with character set 1406.
    Do you have any idea if I do not succeed?

  • The Google Toolbar doesn't work with Firefox 5 and all my bookmarks are saved in the toolbar. How do I go back to version 4?

    Unfortunately any enhancements that you've made with FF5 don't outweigh the loss of my bookmarks in the Google Toolbar. How do I go back to FF4?

    Install the following Add-on until Google releases a new version of their toolbar that is compatible with Firefox 5. Most Add-ons that worked with Firefox 4 should still work with Firefox 5, but the developers need to update a line in their Add-on's code to indicate with which versions of Firefox the Add-on is compatible. The following Add-on adds a "Compatibility" button in your Add-ons > Extensions that you may need to click after installing it and restarting Firefox.

  • How do I go back to version 3.6? I don't like this version.

    I don't like several of the changes in version 4. I want to go back to the previous version I was using. How do I do that? Version 3.6 would be fine. I hope this can be done. I used to like Firefox and I really don't want to go back to Explorer, but I will if I can't get this resolved.

    Firefox is highly customizable and you may be able to customize it to meet your needs.
    If you do not like the new UI, you can make Firefox 4 look and behave more like Firefox 3.6, for details see http://www.computertechtips.net/64/make-firefox-4-look-like-ff-3-6
    To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
    You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
    To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
    For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

  • I installed version 5 from 4, only to find Roboform is not compatible yet, I need to go back to 4 til roboform update their software. HOW can I revert back to version 4 ?

    Roboform is as yet not compatible with version . Has I use it on a daily basis version is no good to me at this time. I need to go back to version 4, if there is an easy way other than uninstalling and reinstalling

    That's right, though Firefox 8.0 is newer and would have the
    same requirements.
    To go back to 3.6.*
    For those that really need an earlier version of Firefox, find your system and the Firefox version you want in releases, download and start the install.
    :For the latest of version 3
    * http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older.html
    : Note Mac OS X 10.4 user, and Mac OS X 10.5 users without Intel cannot upgrade to Firefox 4 or higher.
    When reinstalling Firefox from a download, Firefox must be down once the installation starts. When the installation finishes, don't let the install start firefox for you. Instead end the install and start Firefox in your normal manner, thus preventing creating a new profile which does not have your bookmarks cookies, etc (but your old profile would still be around and would).
    Maybe you were looking for this (I think I would stick to 3.6.* on such a machine) No idea if they have anything for later than version 4.
    :You can run an unofficial version of Firefox though, see
