Licensing and HTML Editor for Large No of Content Providers

Hi All
Currently evaluating RH (paln to use XHTML editor for source and targets will be WebHelp, hopefully with RH Server and export to Word for manual). We have a suite of 17 apps and will use a master project and child projects for each app. Got that all setup and my master pages, etc. Export to word looks pretty good.
I have about 20 content providers (no dedicated documentation resources), so I need a way for them to contribute styled content. I really don't want them using Word as it's too easy for them to stray from the supplied styles (we have that problem now for our Word docs). I'm keeping the style pretty simple (Para Styles: ChapterHead, H1-4 and Normal. Char Styles: MenuOption and Note, One OL and one UL. I'm sure I'll add a few more.) So I need to find a way for content authors to contribute and edit. (from what I've read, the PDF review will work well for review cycles. Seems my options are:
RH: I'm assuming that if I want them to use RH editor they all need a copy of RH @ $1,000 a seat, so that's out of the question.
Adobe Contribute may be an option: any using it with RH? IF so, how well does it integrate?
It seems my best option (to get the project approved and off the ground--read "low startup cost") is a simple free WYSIWYG HTML editor. I can supply everyone the CSS and a template, and they can create clean HTML. Anyone got any recommendations?
Other choices? Looking for suggestions
Any comments/suggestions on the above plan?
Regards
Mark

There is an article on my site about using Contribute. I tried it and how well it works depends on your level of patience and the people using it. I gave up after a while! RoboHelp has changed to XHTML since I tried so that may also be an issue.
The free HTML editors may not understand RoboHelp's processing instructions and may well munge them, be very careful. Some are based on the Gecko engine and my experience is that inserts tons of blank lines.
I think I would explore using Linking first. If that does not work for you, let them edit in Word and you then use Word's "compare files" function to find the changes and make them manually. We have also asked editors to mark any changes with three hash symbols so that we can search for the changes quickly. It may sound a bit archaic but it works very well.

  • HTML Editor for Captivate 7

    Can anyone recommend a good HTML editor for Captivate 7?

    Ummmm, why would you need a "good HTML editor"? HTML and Captivate 7 are two completely different things. Sure, it can output HTML, but normally you don't need a good editor to make use of it.
    My guess is that you will see lots of folks recommending Adobe Dreamweaver.

  • Third-Party Licensing and Activation Toolkit for Labview 8.5

    There is any Third-Party Licensing and Activation Toolkit for Labview 8.5 as LV2010. PLS help..
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I know what you are asking and in the other thread, you were told it was for 2010 only. There is some support for 2009 but not for your old version. Go with the dongle suggested or upgrade your version of LabVIEW.

  • I would like to purchase the license and serial number for Lightroom 4

    I would like to purchase the license and serial number for Lightroom 4 however even though you can download it from this site, there is no option to buy.  Unfortunately I can't upgrade my computer's operating system beyond OSX 10.6.8 even though it's an intel duo so there's no point me getting Lightroom 5. 
    There doesn't seem to be an option to contact anyone at Adobe to see if there is an option to buy.  Each time I attempt to do so I am directed to the forum, so it looks like my only option may be to use another app.  Maybe capture one's the way forward

    Adobe does not sell Lightroom 4 any longer.

  • Aperture forgets it license and asks me for the serial number over and over again

    Hi,
    This is getting ridiculous to the point where I'm thinking of just ditching Aperture.  It's continually forgetting is license and asking me for the serial number over and over again.  I have the original serial number and an upgrade number when I upgraded to v3, but right now, it's not  accepting either of them. What's going on and how do I fix it permanently?
    Thanks,
    Rob

    Rob, have you upgraded to Aperture 3.4.3? This is supposed to have fixed the serial number problem:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1610
    About Aperture 3.4.3
    Addresses an issue that could cause a licensed copy of Aperture to prompt for a serial number with each launch
    Be sure to enter the serial number, when you are logged in from an account with Administrator priveleges - otherwise can it not be stored.
    Aperture is installed for all users on your mac, so the serial number is written to the system library, not the user library, and this requires read/write access for administrators. Do you enter your serial number using an administrator account?
    When did this start? Have you migrated your system from from another mac? Then you still may have an older ProAppSystemID file  or Aperture cannot write to the System Library.
    To stop Aperture asking for the serial number, first check, if you still have an old file "ProAppSystemID" in your System Library.
    Quit Aperture.
    Go to your MacintoshHD and open the folder "Library", then "Application Support", then "ProApps".
    Remove the File "ProAppsSystemID" to the Desktop, if it exist and restart Aperture.
    Reenter your serial number, hopefully for the last time.
    Sometimes Aperture writes this file to a temporary directory, when it cannot write to the Library. If the above does not work, look at the temporary directory /tmp
    Use the Finder's "Go" menu
         Go > Got to folder    and  enter /tmp into the textfield. If you see the file there, move it to its proper location.
    In this case you may want to repair the permissions on your system drive; you can do this using the "First Aid" tools in "Disk Utility" (located in Applications > Utilities)

  • UIX drag and drop editor for OAF?

    I posted the following question on the OAF forum, was told it might make more sense to do in the JDeveloper forum:
    I've been told there is a "drag and drop" editor for UIX which can be used with OAF. Is that correct? I am using the following with EBS 11.5.10:
    OA Framework Version 11.5.10.4RUP.
    MDS Version 9.0.5.4.89 (build 555)
    UIX Version 2.2.24
    BC4J Version 9.0.3.13.93
    If there is such an editor, where can I get it, and how do I install it?

    Shay, thanks for the response.
    I have not written any ADF code outside of the course I took a few months ago, but I'm aware of how powerful it is. My question has to do with using the same toolkit or something similar to create and/or modify OAF pages. My customer is using EBS 11.5.10, and as such is using JDeveloper 9.0.3.5. If I can show how to use ADF with EBS, even if it is in R12, I might be able to convince the customer to use ADF. However, any application we develop must work along with the rest of the EBS, so that means we must use the same security mechanism (responsibilities, menus, etc.).
    Currently, to my knowledge at least, there is nothing as simple as your demo which can be done with OAF. There is no drag and drop capability, unless I've missed something.
    Any comments?

  • Log and transfer error for large avchd file

    The log and transfer proces for large (>15 min) avchd MTS files results in an error. The process is aborted and the destination prores 422 file disappears from the finder.
    I shoot avchd MTS files with a Sony HXR NX5 onto SDHC 32Gb cards.
    I copy the entire image to an attached disk.
    In FCP6.0.6 I use log and transfer.
    The process works flawlessly for smaller clips.
    The longer clips fail.
    During the process I see the creation of a ProRes 422 MOV file and its growth. Before completion it ends in an abort.
    In the log and transfer dialog I get a red octangle sign with an exclamation mark. I am not able to get the details of the error.
    Q: what should I do to be able to use my longer clips?

    All disks, internal and external (hardwired) are macosextended.
    Have reset all prefs. Currently rerunning an 19 min import (will take over an hour).
    If that fails, I will resort to setting ins and outs.
    Thinking out loud, my sony NX5 produces MTS files of max 2Gb. If the clip is longer, it is split over multiple files on the SDHC.
    FCP seems to recognise this artificial split. In L&T it combines the split files into a single clip.
    Q: could it be that L&T stumbles over this artificial split of a clip?

  • External HTML editor for RH

    Hi all,
    I would be interested in hearing of any external HTML editors
    that RH users like using with RH instead of its internal editor.
    Somebody please suggest a free (or almost free) HTML editor
    that features lots of features, eg, hiliting, split Design/HTML
    windows, clean XHTML code and checker.
    Wasn't there once some browser called Mozila? Or was it
    called Netscape?

    >> RH MVPS? Adobe Community Expert is the term. There's
    no such term as RH MVPS.
    Right, now they are called Adobe Community Experts.
    >> As soon as you open the topic in RH's editor it is
    going to rewrite the code.
    You know what, I don't care if RH rewrites the code, just as
    long as RH leaves the result appearance looking nice, i.e., it
    doesn't smash up the appearance .
    >> Go back to your original post here. What is it that
    is missing in the RH editor? It will not be the cleaner code. RH7
    cleaned up a lot and I expect more from RH8. But until then RH will
    rewrite the code so I cannot see the benefit.
    It's been a while now before I gave up in disgust, and went
    to writing in Word. But I had expected to be able to work in WSYWYG
    like in MEW or Word, with powerful style management. I expected
    there to be an easy access Styles side pane. There is not. The
    numbered lists were not reliable; they restarted when they were not
    supposed to. Both numbered and bulleted lists get confused about
    their indentation. It's lucky that I once taught myself MEW with
    HTML/CSS , so after a short refresher I could go into the HTML view
    and clean up all the code and make the lists the way they are
    supposed to be. But since I am at a new client and only working
    there at 100 hr/month, I had to show some real content output, and
    fast, and so I had no more time for RH trial and error. So I went
    back to Word (-- 2007, which I also did not know, but since I am
    (supposed to be) a Word 2003 guru I knew what I was looking for and
    that all the features are supposed to exist -- ) and wrote my first
    drafts with that.
    Actually, I am so shocked at RH's bad WSYWGY editor, if I had
    any choice I would recommend to my client to look for something
    better (if such a thing exists -- dare I mention Flare...), but
    since RH is an important TW skill, I want to add it to my skills
    list. So if my client has recommended using RH, this is a good
    opportunity to learn RH on their account.
    I have a feeling that I am eventually going to make a full
    circle, i.e., either I won't find cheap/free HTML editor taht does
    want I want, or even if I do, I will eventually run into the
    problems you mention, and I will end up writing in raw HTML, just
    as you say.
    Actually, on 2nd thoughts, I also have to be honest with my
    client, and I don't think they would be happy to hear that a guy
    who takes over from me at some point, or is hired in addition to
    me, would have to write HTML/CSS. They would want to hear that
    there is some type of WSYWYG solution for RH, either internal or
    external.

  • Time Capsule as DHCP Router and DNS server for larger network - too taxing?

    Ok, let me say first that I'm no networking expert, but I have tried to learn a decent amount over the years. I haven't got quite gotten o the level of combing router event logs, though I intend to do that as my next step. My question here though is if my overall network strategy is flawed.
    My setup at home is one that may be a bit more extensive than most users have:
    Cable modem -> Time Capsule -> Multiple gigabit switches (business grade) -> Wired Cat5e throughout the house and 2 Airport Extremes. I don't know how many total wired and wireless clients I have, but it may be between 30 and 40 (only a few are computers with the rest being game systems, networked DVRs, audio streamers, NAS, etc)
    At the moment, the Time Capsule only backs up one machine - a MBP (I have external HDDs connected directly to the desktops). I don't use the TC's HDD for anything else. Also, I have the network configured so that the TC handles DHCP addressing and NAT. The Airport Extremes are in bridge mode.
    For the most part, everything works very well. Internet speeds are good, audio streaming works well, no problems with TC backups, etc. The only issue I've run into are dropouts when streaming video content on the network from one device to another (not form the internet). Basically, the stream will pause and then an error will pop up on screen saying that there was a network problem. Now, I know that the specific devices themselves may have issues of their own, but since it's happened on more than one system, I'm wondering if there is a common network culprit- expecting the Time Capsule to handle its duties especially while it is doing a backup.
    Here are a few thoughts I have:
    1 - From a technical standpoint, I don't know if all client to client network traffic goes through the TC. I was thinking that communication could happen between devices on the same switch without having to go up to the TC and then back down, but maybe I'm wrong. If I am wrong, that certainly is a bottleneck right there. I'm not segregating the video streamers to their own subnet on a new router to isolate the traffic. I'm also not sure if the bottleneck is impacted by static vs dynamic IP addressing. IOW, I don't know if setting the devices up with static IPs would change the flow of traffic to not have to go through the TC (just flow across the switch) or not.
    2 - Long ago in a different network setup, I had allowed the wireless access points to assign IPs. However, I found that doing so sometimes created problems accessing some of those devices from a computer or device on a different subnet. As such, I switched over to having the router connected to the modem do all the IP addressing. Maybe this is a bad idea given the temporary nature that some devices will hop on and off the network.
    3 - Additionally, in the interests of getting better wireless coverage over the whole house, I switched to using 2 airport extremes configured to use the same SSID (so that devices moving around the house wouldn't need to specifically change networks in order to get better signal). I guess I could let one of those 2 handle IP addressing while the other is in bridge mode (pointing to the primary Extreme vs the TC).
    4 - Kind of getting back to the TC as the bottleneck, maybe it shouldn't handle network wide DHCP and NAT duties. If TC backups take network priority, such that other kinds of traffic could hiccup, then I probably need to rethink where the TC should exist in the network. Or, maybe it would be enough to just have the stream sensitive components be on their own subnet.
    I know there are potentially multiple flaws in my current strategy, so any suggestions or attempts at correcting my assumptions would be helpful.
    Thanks!

    Welcome to the discussions!
    1 - Everything goes through the router when it is setup to handle DHCP and NAT
    2 - You want your main router, the TC, to handle all DHCP and NAT functions. It will handle up to 250+ connections, so 30-40 devices won't be much of a challenge
    3 - Keep both AirPort Extremes in bridge mode to allow the TC to handle the things in #2 above. If you setup an Airport Extreme to give out IP addresses, you'll create a Double NAT issue on your network...which can slow down communications between devices...the thing you are trying to avoid. If you use Xbox live or other interactive services, the online features will not function with a Double NAT on your network.
    4 - You want the TC to handle all DHCP and NAT functions as in #2. I assume that you have no single run of CAT5e more than 300 feet.
    5 - If you want to create separate sub nets correctly (the AirPorts won't allow you to do this as they are designed for basic home networking), you'll need to look at routers for professional and commercial use, like Cisco.
    With as many devices as you have, you may be running out of bandwidth at times. If you only notice the issue during Time Machine backups, and you don't need to backup each hour, take a look at Time Machine Editor to setup backups whenever you like, maybe once a day at 2 AM when things on the network are quiet.
    My suggestions are of course opinions. Hopefully you'll receive some other possibly differing views.

  • Are there any issues and potential solutions for large scale partitioning?

    I am looking at a scenario that a careful and "optimised" design has been made for a system. However, It is still resulted in thousands of entities/tables due to the complex business requirements. The option of partitions must also be investigated due to large amount of data in each table. It could potentially result in thousands partitions on thousands tables, if not more.
    Also assume that powerful computers, such as SPARC M9000, can be employed under such a scenario.
    Keen to hear what your comments are. It will be helpful if you can back up your statements with evidence and keep in the context of this scenario.

    I did see your other thread, but kept away from it because it seemed to be getting a bit heated. Some points I did notice:
    People suggested that a design involving "thousands" of entities must be bad. This is neither true not nor unusual. An EBS database may have fifty to a hundred thousand entities, no problem. It is not good or bad, just necessary.
    The discussion of "how many partitions" got stuck on whether Oracle really can support thousand of partitions per table. Of course it can - though you may find case studies that if you go over twenty or thirty thousand for a table, performance may degrade (shared pool issues, if I remember correctly).
    There was discussion of how many partitions anyone needs, with people suggesting "not many". Well, if you range partition per hour with 16 hash sub-partitions (not unreasonable in, for example, a telephone system) you have 384 per day which build up quite quickly unless you merge them.
    You own situation has never been fully defined. A few hundred million rows in a few TB is not unusual at all. But when you say "I don't have a specific problem to solve" alarm bells ring: you are trying to solve a problem that does not exist? If you get partitioning right, the benefits can be huge; get it wrong, and it can be a disaster. Don't do it just because you can.  You need to identify a problem and prove, mathematically, that your chosen partitioning strategy will fix it.

  • Retrive SQL from Webi report and process it for large volume of data

    We have a Scenario where, we need to extract large volumes of data into flat files and distribute them from u2018Teradatau2019 warehouse which we usually call them as u2018Extractsu2019. But the requirement is such that, Business users wants to build their own u2018Adhoc Extractsu2019.   The only way, I thought, to achieve this, is Build a universe, create the query, save the report and do not run it. Then write a RAS SDK to retrieve the SQL code from the reports and save into .txt file and process it directly in Teradata?
    Is there any predefined Solution available with SAP BO or any other tool for this kind of Scenarios?

    Hi Shawn,
    Do we have some VB macro to retrieve Sql queries of data providers of all the WebI reports in CMS.
    Any information or even direction where I can get information will be helpful.
