How to provide link for the topics of Webhelp in the Context Sensitive Help in RH10 ?

I am using Robohelp 10 and currently working on Context Sensitive Help in which there is a need to create certain links for the topics that are present in Webhelp. My area of concern is that we can't use map id's since CS Help and Webhelp had already been created and it will be a mess for developers too since they had to relook their code. While generating output we don't give js files to our developers, we just give them folders and css file. Considering all these points, is there any way to provide a link for a topic of Help in Context Sensitive Help? Anyone, Please Help !

I'm not clear on what the question is. You seem to want CSH and to not use Map IDs. That leaves other methods to which Willam has already pointed you. Essentially it's Map IDs or URLs. So are you asking if there is a method that does not involve the developers? No as it is they who must create a link of some sort from a screen to a topic.
You also say you don't give JS files, just folders and CSS. The Rh WebHelp output contains many files and folders and you have to give the whole output or the help will not work properly. Exactly what are you giving them?

Setting up context sensitive help for WebHelp in web application.

Hi,
I'm working on a help system for a web application. It will include context sensitive help triggered by an icon on the screen, and the Topic will open in an iframe with a set size. The developer has already set up the iframe that pops up when the icons are clicked. He is giving me the ID for the screens with the help icons as a fully qualified java file name. I'm not sure what the correct process would be in RoboHelp to map the ID's to the topics.
1. Do I create a map file using the list of ID's the developer sends me? Would it be in this format:
#define Topic_Name Java_File_Name
2. Do I then add the ID to the appropriate help Topic using Project Setup pod Context-Sensitive Help folder?
3. When I generate the layout I specify the map file I created above (.h extension)
3. If the developer already set up the iFrame size, is it correct that I don't need to create a custom window to set up the size? Is there a way to set it so two panes open? (I believe using the method above one pane opens with link to navigation pane)
Thanks in advance,
Joanne

How can I reference an external help file from context sensitive help at the control level?

My goal is to provide context sensitive help for each control displayed on the front panel using a help file created externally. I know that at the VI level I can specify a Help Path; I want the same behaviour for each control inside a VI. I also know about creating a custom control and specifying the Help Path in there, but it doesn't help in this situation, for I have hundreds of controls in my application and I cannot go back and replace each one with a unique .ctl. If I could override each instance of the custom control with unique path data that would do the trick, but that's not how it works.
Is there a way to add the Help Path information to regualr controls?
-euge

This functionality is not yet built into LabVIEW.
About all you can do is cut and paste the help for each control into the description for the control. It is tedius but a finite task.

Context-sensitive help - where is the CS topic folder in the output files?

I have created a FlashHelpPro help file in RoboHelp 7 HTML. In the project setup pane, I have Map ID'd my context-sensitive topics and linked them to their respective pages. I generated the project, but there is no folder containing the context-sensitive topics in the output files. As a result, the developer suggested that I need to create a separate folder in the Project Manager that contains all the context-sentitive topics. Is this actually the next step, or can the developer find what he needs elsewhere in the files?
I haven't seen anything about creating a separate folder in the Project Manager, which seems redundant as there is the 'Context-sensitive Help' folder already present in the Project Set-up. Do I need to create a separate folder, as suggested by the developer? If not, where can he find the context-sensitive files in the output? Thank you.

Hi,
What do you mean that the context sensitive topics are not in the output? RoboHelp generates your output and (in WebHelp, so the same should count for FlashHelp) puts the context sensitivity in cshdat_webhelp.htm. Your developer doesn't need to worry about this, he just has to get his call right.
For information on calling the help, see http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/calling_webhelp/calling_webhelp.htm. It's for WebHelp but it should be the same for FlashHelp.
If your developer only wants to know which mapid's he has to call, you best give them your map files (the .h files).

Willam

How to implement 'Context Sensitive Help' for Workforce Performance Build Tool.

Hi Gurus,
We have a requirement to implement ‘Context Sensitive Help’ for Workforce Performance Build Tool. Please let me know how to go about implementing the "Context Sensitive Help".
It will be great if you can share some links to the documents and screenshots.
Thanks,
Sanjiv Karmakar

Hi Sanjiv,
do you you mean expand the Help Menu => Pull Help or do you mean
EPSS => push Help?
in case pull help please tell me exactly which system GUI or EP and version you are using.
many different scenarios are possible.
Tom
P.S. Please take care of the name is Workforce Performance Builder or maybe in-official WPB.
many people ask in the HCM area for help, this is the reason why we do not observe all discussion.
The name in the title will help us to find your questions on time.

RoboHelp 10 Context Sensitive Help Displays Full Help File, Not the One Topic

I create WebHelp with RoboHelp V10 that contains context sensitive help to be displayed in a software application. When I click on any of the field names in the application, the entire Help file displays with TOC, Index, & Search, tabs but not the field level popup definition the Map ID is mapped to. I moved the RoboHelp V9 generated version files back to the server and the context sensitive help works correctly. Is there something different I need to deploy to the server to display the correct Map ID? I am using IE8 to test both conditions.
The Map ID's the software application calls to the Map IDs have not changed between the versions of RoboHelp.

Whilst the HHP is required to create CHMs, it can also be used to open damaged projects. Just be aware it will only be as good as the last time you generated some help and not just CHMs.

How to get context sensitive help in JSP Pages

Is it possible to display context sensitive help in JSP Pages when I press the tab key on the keyboard base on the key focus. I don�t want to use any applet or Swing components, because it�s a web page viewed on the browser
Thanks

Java code inside a JSP is interpreted on the server and the HTML produced by the server it is shown in the client browser. The JSP code can incorporate calls to the JavaHelp API if it is available to the server. Those calls can be used on the server side to map parts of the JSP to contents of a help set (HTML pages).
Given that, you can provide context sensitive help, but when it comes to view help information, you either can show HTML only (without TOC, index, etc.) or you'd need an applet.

Error Opening 2nd Context-Sensitive Help Topic

Hi All,
We were having an issue that when opening a 2nd instance of the context-sensitive help (with the help already open), a blank window would appear and we would receive an "Access Denied" error related to the whcsh_home.htm file. I found the fix posted on Peter Grainge's site at http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/rh8/using_rh8.htm (thank you!), and this resolved the issue in IE7 and Firefox. However, our QA team is reporting that the issue still occurs in IE8.
Can someone please confirm that this fix works for IE8 as well as IE7 and Firefox? I'm able to load a 2nd instance of the help in IE8 on my computer without an issue after implementing this fix, so I think this is an issue specific to the tester's machine, but wanted to post here for any additional information.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I'm just now running into this IE 8 issue with my Robo HTML 6 WebHelp project. It worked (and continues to work) perfectly in IE
7, but not in IE 8. The fix didn't work for me. Any more info about (or fixes for) this one?
thanks

How to provide formulae for the columns in report based on date column

Hi,
How can we provide formulae for the columns in report, where each column is based on another Date Column.
Can anyone suggest on this.
Thanks

Hi Manu,
I think you a logical column X on which you created another Logical Column Y.
Now you want 'Y' to be filtered based on Date Column.
1. If, my assumption is right - You can do your requirement i.e. Filtering the logical col. 'Y' on Reports.
Else,
2. See - Your Logical column 'Y' While creating log. column 'Y' make sure you use any expression builder to filter across Date column. (i.e. using any case statements or where clause).
Else,
3. Make sure your First Logical column comes from Table by default (i.e. Create the same col. in d/b so it would be your Physic col. )
Thank you.

How to find links for the KM resource

Hi,
I would like to know the details about the links, which are created for the KM resource.
I want to search how many links and where these links are created for some perticular resource in KM.
Please let me know how to achieve this.
Thanks

Hello -
For archive pls refer below
THere is no standard archive functionality in KM. but you can use time based publishing where you can give validity of the documents. Once the time is expired then automatically it will not display to the end users who have read permissions.
kept in your directory but it will not visible to enduser (those are having a read access) section.
So Go to folder (Life time enable on folder level) ---> Details ---> Click on Lifetime --> Enable it
Afterthat you can select the appropriate file and assign the life time .Here is the process....
A(file name)-> Details-> Properties ---> lifetime.

How to be notified for all ORA- Errors recorded in the alert.log file

based on Note:405396.1, I Changed the Matches Warning from the default value ORA-0*(600?|7445|4[0-9][0-9][0-9])[^0-9] to ORA-* in order to receive an warning alert for all ORA- errors.
but I just recieved the alert like the following:
Metric=Generic Alert Log Error
Time/Line Number=Mon Feb 25 23:52:21 2008/21234
Timestamp=Feb 26, 2008 12:06:03 AM EST
Severity=Warning
Message=ORA-error stack (1654, 1654, 1654) logged in /opt/oracle/admin/PRD/bdump/alert_PRD.log.
Notification Rule Name=Alert Log Error
Notification Rule Owner=SYSMAN
as you can see, the message only indicate the ORA-1654, nothing else.
How to set in 10g grid control to get the details alert that in the alert log like:
"ORA-1654: unable to extend index ADM.RC_BP_STATUS by 1024 in tablespace PSINDEX"
I can't believe Oracle 10g Grid control only provide the ORA- number without details

Go to your database target.
On the home tab, on the left hand side under Diagnostic Summary, you'll see a clickable date link next to where it says 'Alert Log'. Click on that.
next click on Generic Alert Log Error Monitoring Configuration (its at the bottom)
In the alert thresholds put:
ORA-0*(600?|7445|4[0-9][0-9][0-9])[^0-9]
I believe that will pick anything up but experiment, its only perl.
If you want to test this use the DBMS_System.ksdwrt package but I would advise you only do so on a test database. If you've never heard of it, google it. Its a way of writing to your alert log.
Make sure you have your emails sent to long format as well.

Can any one provide links for cross applications

hi friends,
actually iam new to ale,idocs,edi.but i don't have real time experience,but i learned each and evry concept thru book arvind&Nagpal.i wud like to know the links for these cross applications.i would be thankfull if anyone can provide link
can we populate data into idoc thru function module.i guess we can do?how?

Sunil,
Take a look at the following links.
http://help.sap.com//saphelp_470/helpdata/EN/0b/2a611c507d11d18ee90000e8366fc2/frameset.htm
http://www.sappro.com/downloads/OneClientDistribution.pdf
http://www.sapgenie.com/sapgenie/docs/ale_scenario_development_procedure.doc
I am not sure what do you mean populating idoc using function module, If you are talking about standard IDOCs the IDOC's are triggered by the standard program.
You can still trigger IDOC's manually using MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE function, You will have to fill in the data in a specifc format of EDID4, add the control record and execute the function.

Can you please let me know how I can do so?
The relevant portion of code is

I am totally new for ABAP. So, please help me out.
Thanks

Hi,
Try this.
Create an internal table and populated it with the values present in the F4 help of the field. Then in AT SELECTION-SCREEN event check the value of the field with the values in the internal table and display the appropriate message.
