If project is on C, how do multiple authors share?

Hi all,
I've been a lone author, and soon I will not be. We're going
to be installing either RoboSource Control 3 or a third-party
version control system in order for all four of us to access and
work in the same help projects at the same time. However, I'm
rather confused about something. I keep reading in the user forum
that each author still needs to have the help project on their C
drive and run it and RoboHelp from there, but you check in/out
topics from the server. But how do the other parts of the help
project work, like the TOC and index?
Is the help project merely a "manager," and
the TOC and index and all of those other bells and whistles outside
of the individual html topics stored in separate files out on the
server, which you check-in/out every time you make changes to the
TOC or index? If that's so, what happens if one author makes
changes to the index from Topic Properties (Index tab), and another
author is modifying the index at the same time?
I don't really understand how this works, and the Adobe
articles do a poor job of really explaining how this works.
I appreciate any help or explanations!
Lisa

Hi Lisa
Of course I'm not Gravenstein.
But your summation is incorrect. RoboSource Control does
indeed allow multiple authors to work simultaneously on a project.
I stand to be corrected, but I think the way RoboSource
Control works is by essentially locking things at the folder level.
So assume you have a project with many different folders. You
choose a file inside folder A and other files inside that folder
(but no sub folders) are locked until you release (or check in) the
file you were working on.
Does this make more sense?
Normally all the source files are on the server. But
copies exist on your PC in what is typically called the
*Working Folder*. As you check files in and out, they are copied
back and forth automatically to and from your hard drive. So you
work locally always, but the source control software manages the
server bit.
Hopefully something here was helpful... Rick

How can multiple vis share input from a DAQ simutaneously

How can multiple vis share data input from a DAQ simutaneously?
Recently I am building a EMG measurement platform and somehow DAQ data need to be shared by several vis at the same time.
Are there any ideas?

If you may need to add/delete tasks that will need th edata you may want to consider a publich/subscribe pattern. Basically your DAQ task will post a message to a single queue. The process listening on this queue (message broker) will determine if there are other processes registered to receive this message. When a device registers for a message it provides a queue to receive it on. The message broker will then post the message to all interested processes. The nice thing about this pattern is that you have dedicated code to handle broadcasting the message and it is very easy at run time to change the number of processes that get the message. The DAQ task will always send the message and will not care how many processes are listening.

How do multiple developers share the same application module

Is there a suggested method for multiple developers to share the same application module? We have 2 developers that will have EOs in the same directory and would like to know how they can share an application module but do development on different pieces of a project.
Thanks,
Paula

Try using CVS or any other source control system. Still there are some points to think about before doing big projects, because there are many files which are updated by JDEV without knowledge by the developer. This causes many conflicts using a version control system like CVS.
If you developers both are working on the server part of the application, I suggest using multiple application modules. See this blogs:
http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/stories/2005/05/27/howGranularShouldMyApplicationModulesBe.html
http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/stories/2005/07/19/nestedApplicationModules.html
On the client side it depends on which technology you are using (struts, swing, jsf, ...).

How can multiple users share a catalog?

PSE 5 - We have multiple users sign on to the same PC. The catalog is created on a network drive that all have access to. Photos added to the catalog by one user are not accessible by another user. Is the catalog profile-dependant? Is there some setting I am missing?

The users can open the photos directly in Windows Picture Viewer but, for some users, the catalog looks empty in Photoshop Elements.
1. Verify that each account is indeed loading the same catalog. Do Help > System Info within the PSE Organizer to verify the catalog name and location is identical. Perhaps one or more the accounts is opening another default (empty) catalog.
2. Ensure the Organizer is showing you all the files:
a. In View > Media Types, check all the types.
b. In the Organize pane on the right, check Hidden to see if any of the cataloged photos are marked "hidden".
c. Do Fine > Clear Date Range.
d. If Back To All Photos is showing in the upper right, click it.

How do multiple people share an Apple ID without combining contacts?

My wife has a new iPhone 6. She previously had an iPhone 3 (she doesn't like change what can I say). Consequently she doesn't have an Apple ID. As a result to transfer her information, contacts, pictures, and 4 apps, I did s backup of her old phone to the iCloud. Then I used the backup to setup her new phone. Well, unfortunately she not only got her contacts, only about 30 max, she also got my 700 plus contacts. To compound the issue she didn't get her apps nor did she get pictures. I was able to copy her pictures from her old phone to my computer then transfer them through iTunes to her new phone.
I guess the question I need to ask now is, is there a way to look into the backup on iCloud and remove the unwanted contacts then delete all the contacts here new phone and restore the updated backup from iCloud. Oh I should probably mention that I do not use an iPhone and I use a Windows-based computer.
Any help will be gratefully appreciated. I did talk to Apple support last night and although he gave me the idea to copy the pictures to my computer to put on the new phone he had no idea how to fix the contacts.
Additionally I should I add that before trying any of the above I attempted to transfer everything by Bluetooth but the two phones would not discover each other. I thought that was very strange. In fact they wouldn't discover anything.
Please I need help.
Sincerely,
GEGJr

A lot to learn and some questions you need to answer ...
iPhones do not connect with each other via Bluetooth for transferring files, which is why that failed.
Did the 700 contacts come from your iCloud account? I presume they did, and if so do you use iCloud for anything yourself since you don't have an iPhone? If you have an iCloud that you want to keep as your own, set your wife up with her own ID as mentioned above. You two can still share the existing ID for purchases, but use separate IDs for iCloud. Or alternatively, just use separate IDs for purchases too and use Family Share with the original ID as the "master".
Assuming the above is correct, create a new Apple ID for her and have her sign out of your iCloud on her new iPhone. When prompted to delete contacts, etc. select the option to keep them on the device. Also have her sign out of iMessage and FaceTime, which I presume are activated under your ID. Now sign back into iCloud using her new ID (as well as iMessage and FaceTime). The contacts left on her phone from your iCloud will gradually be uploaded to her iCloud. Give it time to complete, and of course have the iPhone on Wi-Fi for fastest transfer.
Now use your computer to navigate to iCloud.com and sign into her iCloud account. From the dashboard select the Contacts icon and start deleting contacts that she does not need. While there may be other ways to clean up her contacts, it is probably a LOT easier to do this from a computer rather than from her iPhone, or by any other means.
In the end, you'll each have separate iCloud accounts, she'll have just the contacts she needs, and you'll be sharing an ID just for music and app purchases (or use Family Share, which I'm not familiar with and don't see the point between two people with a long-term commitment to each other ;-)

How to Implement a Single Folder - Multiple Authors Scenario für NW 7.3?

Hello,
is a version "How to Implement a Single Folder - Multiple Authors Scenario" for NetWeaver 7.3 planned?
Best regards,
Arnold Gallemann

Hi Detlev,
thanks a lot for sharing your work!
Due to the reason we need a different configuration in KM, I changed e.g. some values in the .cc.xml and .co.xml files. I rebuild the project and checked the created EAR file. I noticed that the ConfigArchive file in EAR file still has the old values. It seems that SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio 7.3 is not recognizing in a portal application project the configuration of the src.config folder anymore. To test this, I removed the initial provided ConfigArchive in the folder dist\PORTAL-INF\config\ from your project. I rebuild it and the ConfigArchive in the EAR file wasnu2019t included.
I found in the documentation (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw73/helpdata/de/42/60aec0032c1422e10000000a114cbd/frameset.htm) the SAP Note 1572813, which would describe how to use KMC wizards in SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio 7.3. But the article is currently not released to public.
In addition I have discovered, that it is possible to include the src.config folder in the build process if the project is set up as a development component (see for details bullet point Optionally of http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw73/helpdata/de/42/60aec0032c1422e10000000a114cbd/frameset.htm). This works. But later on I am facing another problem: I am missing the entry KMC-CM to add it as a dependency for the development component.
Best regards

How do multiple family members use iTunes.? One account or multiple?

How do multiple family members use iTunes. One account right now but apps gets added to all devices and iTunes messages go to all devices. Can multiple accounts be setup and still have ability to share purchased items?

Hey Ajtt!
I have an article for you that can help inform you about using Apple IDs in a variety of ways:
Using your Apple ID for Apple services
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4895
Using one Apple ID for iCloud and a different Apple ID for Store Purchases
You can use different Apple IDs for iCloud and Store purchases and still get all of the benefits of iCloud. Just follow these steps:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
When you first set up your device with iOS 5 or later, enter the Apple ID you want to use with iCloud. If you skipped the setup assistant, sign in to Settings > iCloud and enter the Apple ID you’d like to use with iCloud.
In Settings > iTunes and App Stores, sign in with the Apple ID you want to use for Store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match). You may need to sign out first to change the Apple ID.
Mac:
Enter the Apple ID you want to use for iCloud in Apple () menu > System Preferences > iCloud.
Enter the Apple ID you want to use for Store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match) in Store > Sign In. In iTunes 11, you can also click iTunes Store > Quick Links: Account.
PC (Windows 8):
Enter the Apple ID you want to use for iCloud in the Control Panel. To access the iCloud Control Panel, move the pointer to the upper-right corner of the screen to show the Charms bar, click the Search charm, and then click the iCloud Control Panel on the left.
Enter the Apple ID you want to use for Store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match) in iTunes. In iTunes 10, select Store > Sign In. In iTunes 11, click iTunes Store > Quick Links: Account.
PC (Windows 7 and Vista):
Enter the Apple ID you want to use for iCloud in Control Panel > Network and Internet > iCloud.
Enter the Apple ID you want to use for Store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match) in iTunes 10 in Store > Sign In. In iTunes 11, click iTunes Store > Quick Links: Account.
Note: Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID for your iTunes Store account, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days. Learn more about associating a device or computer to your Apple ID.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,
Braden

How can I sync Iphone to a PC calendar then have multiple users share that calendar? Is there an application that does that?

How can I sync Iphone to a PC calendar then have multiple users share that calendar? Is there an application that does that?

If it is actually an exchange calendar, and it's not linked to a specific user, it should be possible to simply add the exchange account to each device in question and have that exchange account only sync the calendar. Then every user has access to the same calendar and can add/edit entries to the calendar as needed.
The same would apply if it were a Google calendar added via Exchange.
If the calendar is not actually on Exchange, but rather added from an outside source, it will depend on that outside source where the calendar originates.

In RSA Authentication Manager 7.1, how create multiple security domains

Hi,
RSA Authentication Manager 7.1 in configured with LDAP(Sun java system directory server); how create multiple security domains 7.1, is this security domains is releted to LDAP?

I think what you need to do is create an identity sequence with RSA as the selection in
Authentication and Attribute Retrieval Search List and AD in Additional Attribute Retrieval Search List. Then select this sequence as the result in the identity policy for the service

How to multiple/ parallel sets of books to generate more than one financial statement based on different (or the same) accounting principles.
My Client needs Parallel Ledger in SAP B1 similar like SAP ECC. Is this functionality available ?

Dear Mr. Nagrajan,
Thank you for your response. I have already gone through documents but not able to understand. Is there any setup for this ? or its just work around i.e. using template and special field in JV i.e. Ref. 1 /2
My doubts :
I understand that Chart of Account structure is one and common for IFRS and other accounting method. We need to create only those account separately ( 2 times with prefix like IFRS revenue account, GAAP Revenue account).
Now at time of entry, Assume some entries / adjustment are specifically for IFRS and not for other ledger. In this case, What need to do ?
You have mentioned about DTW approach but do we need to insert all JV's again with other ledger ?
Someone suggested that if any entry which are specific to IFRS Ledger, We need to user Ref.1 /2 column or Transcation code column and in which we can put IFRS
Based on this, Need to create 2 seperate template for IFRS and other ledger for all report.
This is my understanding of Solution in SAP B1. Please help me to clarify my though process
Please do needful.If you have done implemenation and if you can share doucment, it would be great help.

Best Practices for multiple authors using single project?

We are having many issues, particularly with moving, renaming, and multiple check out warnings. We have a single project with many authors and it seems like RH is not designed to work that way. There is an article in the RH devnet-archive in an article entitled "Sharing RoboHelp Project Among Multiple Authors" that says"
"At first there may be the temptation to let every author work on every file in a project. This is certainly not a best practice. Regardless of source contraol, it is always best to designate certain authors as owning certain content-related sections, folders, or topics within a project -particulary at the folder level."
This statement, and our experience seems to indicate that RH is not a true CMS as we had envisioned. What are the best practices for this scenario to avoid stepping on each others toes and having problems with source control.

I have moved this to the source control forum for the gurus there to answer.
Meantime I must admit I read that statement the same way as you first time. However, on rereading I think what the author is saying is not that what you want cannot be done, rather it is best practice to guide authors to work in discrete areas.
I will leave it to the author or another guru to give you a more complete answer.
