Load different versions of Help depending on user's OS?

Is it possible to have different versions of Help load depending on the user's OS?
For example, if a user is accessing from a PC then they would load the AIR Help version, but if they were accessing from a Mac then they would load the HTML version.
Is this something that is handled on our database end, or would it be a feature of Adobe RoboHelp Server?

Your developers would need to create a sniffer to ascertain the OS of the user's device and then route to the required help. That is not built into RoboHelp and RoboHelp Server will not assist with this one.

Dynamically load different versions of client jar

Hello,
My application needs to simultaneously support different versions of an RMI app. How to dynamically load the proper version of the client jar to connect with the same version of the server. Say Server versions are sv1.0, sv 1.1, sv 2.0 and clients are cl1.0, cl1.1, cl2.0. How to dyncamically load cl1.0 in my application so as to connect with sv1.0, similarly cl1.1 with sv1.1
Will having a different classloader for each of the client jars, solve the problem?
Can someone direct me/suggest on how to handle this.
I appreciate your help and thanks for your time.

Do favorites in the Favorites pane persist in different versions of Help?

A simple question here, but I couldn't find it in Help. When users use a new version of a Help file and click the Favorites tab, will their favorites from the previous version of Help display? Or will they have to re-add those topics to the Favorites pane?

Hi all
Colum is spot on with this. The Microsoft Windows CHM viewer stores favorites information in a small file on the system. The file name is HH.dat and contains other information than simply favorites. Window size and placement and which tab was open when you closed the CHM file. The HH.dat file is a central repository for this information for ALL CHM files you open and use on your system. It's not specifically matched to a single CHM file.
Hopefully this helps... Rick

Loading different versions of Linux native libraries - question

I need to package libXm.so, libXm.so.2 and libXm.so.2.1 for a JWS application.
Q: How do I use System.loadLibrary() to load libXm.so.2 and libXm.so.2.1 from within a JWS application?
System.loadLibrary("Xm"); // loads libXm.so from root of JAR file.
�yvind

I dont like this either - its a last resort really :)The whole System.loadLibrary()/nativelib business is a bit ...
I'm loading a library that might pull in libXm.so, libXm.so.2 or libXm.so.2.1. I don't have a way of telling which.
AFAICT, I need to load all three of them. Thats 2MB/library.
Hopefully loading libXm.so.* that are not used is at least harmless.
I'm left with the feeling that although this might work, it is not the way it is intended to be done.

Jars dependent on different versions of the another jar

I have two vendor supplied jars that are both dependent on different releases of another jar. So, in the usage instructions for the first jar, it says to make sure that x_1_2_1.jar is my classpath. Likewise, in the usage instructions for my other jar, it says to make sure that x_2_0_1.jar is in my classpath. The installers for each one of these jar puts their version of the dependent x jar in a subdirectory under their installation.
This causes all sorts of headaches because neither jar ever gets completely what it is looking for. Code in the jar that depends on x_1 fails if x_2 is in the classpath first, while code in the jar that depends on x_2 fails if x_1 is the classpath first.
(Since, I'm sure to encounter this mismatched versioning problem with other "utility" jars in future, I'm intentionally withholding the actually names of the jars involved. I'm looking for the general solution to this class of problem, not specific tips related to a particular utilities jar.)
I was thinking that maybe the manifest Class-Path of each jar might be used to force where each jar looks for it's dependent jars, but the documentation I read about Manifests indicated that each jars Class-Path is simply concatenated into the overall Classpath that the ClassLoader uses.
If it matters, all this is in a Java 1.3.1 environment.
It seems like I can't be the first person to come up against this, but I haven't really seen any traffic on the forums about this kind of problem. (Am I missing something obvious?)

May be custom ClassLoaders may help you, but I am not sure. It depends on whether you are allowed to explicitly load several equally named classes from different sources.
Probably it is allowed. The following is cited from the Java Language Specification, 2nd edition (chapter 7.7, Unique Package Names, packages.doc.html):
"If unique package names are not used, then package name conflicts may arise far from the point of creation of either of the conflicting packages. This may create a situation that is difficult or impossible for the user or programmer to resolve. The class ClassLoader can be used to isolate packages with the same name from each other in those cases where the packages will have constrained interactions, but not in a way that is transparent to a na�ve program.

Show report in different currency depending on user parameter

hi all,
i'm trying to show my report in different currency, depending on users given parameter.
i hold my account balance in USD based. User should select one parameter, in which currency they want to see their account balance. (e.g. EURO, GBP ...) and depending on their selection, i want to convert USD based info into chosen currency, by fetching field from currency table and making some calculation.
also i want to include in report currency($, Â£ ...) accordingly ().
how can i achieve this, has somebody any suggestion to me?
thanks in advance.
bogi.

hi,
i think i need to explain my problem more detailed. anyone who has suggestion, please help me.
i have 3 tables account, times and currency.
- times table has time_key, date, day_of_week fields.
- account table has - account_balance and time_key_FK fields.
- currency table has currency_type, amount, time_key_FK fields.
1. i have function decode(:Currency,'USD',account_balance,'EURO',--here i want to replace my calculation CALC1---)
CALC1- this calculation need to some calculation like this: account_balance * (fetched field from this sql)(select amount from currency, account where currency.currency_type='EURO' and account.time_key_FK=currency.time_key_FK)
i tried to do this, but discoverer plus doesn't let me make condition and calc. i'm very confused.
2. after i achieve this query, somehow i want to display on worksheet on which currency is it based. can i get parameter value, and show this value as in column heading?
tnx!!!

Layout shows different data depending on user-language (German or English)

Hello best of the best,
we are using layouts to enter data into BCS. In one of our layouts different numbers are shown depending on the user-language (German or English).
This is despite the same layout is used.
Have you got any idea what could cause this problem?
Is there a setting somewhere that I didn´t know up to now (to distinguish in different languages)?
Better to ask SAP using an OSS-message?
Many thanks in advance,
Thomas
If you need more information about that case, pls tell me.

The numbers are volumes (KWh, to, l).
There are several positions with different "Breatdown Categories". In the english version of the layout only the KWh-volumes are shown. "to" and "l" (Diesel) are missing.
To describe the problem more clearly, in the german version the layout seems to show correct data:
Position                KWh         to         l
Diesel (l)                   -            -       5.000
Coal (to)                    -        3.000      -
Electricity (KWh)   200.000      -         -
The "-" shows fields that are grey --> no data can be inserted
The english version looks like this:
Position                KWh         to         l
Diesel (l)                   -             -          -
Coal (to)                    -            -           -
Electricity (KWh)   200.000 200.000 200.000
Here the white fields at Diesel (l) and coal (t) are empty, but the grey fields in the col´s "to" and "l" show the value of "KWh" in electricity as well.
Does this answer your question?

Thomas

How would you setup users to have different versions of Flash Player?

I am looking to test some setups with different versions of Flash, but wanted to know how to setup one user to have Flash Player Version 6, one with version 7, 8, etc.
How would I go about doing this?
Thanks,
Russ

Create a new folder named Internet Plug-Ins inside the Library folder of the home folder of some of your user accounts, and move the different versions of the plugin into this folder, one per user account. The copy of the Flash plugin in the main Library folder is accessed when an account doesn't have a copy in its home folder.

Display different portal page or portlet depend on user's

can I display different portal page or portlet depend on user's
profile,such as: if user's gender is male, display a portal
page named "malePortal",if the user's gender is female, display
a portal page named "femalePortal"

This can be accomplished by using Entitlements Segments.
You can define them in EBCC. you will have to define a user profile which
will contain user information (like gender).
Once you have two segments defined, you can use portal administration site
to configure entitlements for pages and portlets.
Regards
Mike

a custom IP class. If you just want to show different content based on auser profile
value, take a look at "Content Selectors" in EBCC; this sounds like aneasier way
to get where you're trying to go.
I don't think there's a way to display different portal pages/portalsbased on user's
profile settings.

BPC User Management Tools in different versions

How does "User Management Server" work?
What's the difference when it is compared with "Active Directory" and "BPC NW Authorization"?
2)
I have summarized my understand on the availability of the user management tools in different versions of BPC but I don't know if it is correct.

Hi Winson,
You are incorrect for BPC NW 7.5 - it uses Active Directory users...

Trying to update iTunes, the installer keeps freezing at 'Running iTunes Installer Scripts'. i've tried several different versions of iTunes and can't install any of them. I'm stuck with Version 4!! Help!

I'm trying to update iTunes on my mac (Power Mac G5 running tiger), but it always freezes at 'Running itunes installer script'. I have tried a few different versions of iTunes, but I have the same problem with all of them. I'm stuck on version 4 (which came with my os discs)! Help?!

Ok, First this link should solve the windows scripting host error. I used "Download windows script host" in a google search and it was the first hyperlink.

I'm assuming you are trying to run the installer from apple. What I would suggest is you download the installer manually to your desktop then launch the installer. If try to run the installer over the intertubes you may run into a problem like you did.
Then I would uninstall itunes 8 and any software associated with it like the apple update software, quicktime, apple mobile device support. However uninstalling itunes should remove any additional software it installs. Then clean out your temp folder:
6. Clean out your temp folders,
a. C:\windows\temp (if one exists)
b. C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Local Settings\Temp
Sometimes installers will pick up old files or won’t delete their temporary files.
Then with a newly download installer on your desktop try launching it. Let me know if that helps.
Here is an apple doc that help.

Using two different versions of iMovie...Please help!!

I am new to using iMovie and need to know whether it is possible to jump between two different versions of iMovie on two different computers. I have created my movie on a computer using a higher version and need to put it onto a computer using a lower version of iMovie. Is it possible to do this without any problems? Thanks!!

Hi newvopo,
welcome to this forum
it is recommended to stay within one version of iM while working on a project (no updates/no "file sharing"); many/all (?) iM versions are not down-compatible, e.g. iMHD has a different file-management then the versions before, or iM6 has totally new effects, transistions, not supported by any other version...
you haven't told us, which two version you like to use...
besides:
you help yourself by giving us as much info about your Mac and apps as possible... use My Profile to add info....
recommendation:
export your movie done so far back to tape, import into the older version of iM on other machine.......

Statistics on users of different versions

Does anyone know of any statistics showing the numbers of users of the different versions of Acrobat Reader, or the "market share" between the different versions?
Trying to convince some developers not to bother supporting ver. 7 as 8 and 9 are well established.
Cheers,
Geir Waaler

There is a Reader forum http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?13@@.3bbf42f7
But, since this and that are both
user to user forums, not Adobe support, I doubt anyone here or there is going to know anything about how many of which Adobe product is in use
Also, since Reader is free and does not require registration or activation, I doubt that even Adobe would know how many are using which version

Are there different versions of notification centre depending on iPhone?

Are there different versions of notification centre depending on iPhone?
May seem crazy but just noticed my wife's 4s has "Notification Centre" where as my 4 has "Notification Center"
Her apps seem to work better such as Sky News which updates notifications all the time for her but never for me!
Both running 6.0.1 and have same versions of apps.
I've reset phone but no change.
Any advise?

I've updated my language settings to British English. Has changed title in Notification Centre but I'm still not receiving notifications from certain apps!

Loading different library versions

Hi all,
I'm developing an application that detects a specific hardware, then loads the jar file appropriate for that hardware version.
My question is: How do I load multiple versions of a jar file in a single app? The idea is that the app spawns multiple threads. Each thread handles one hardware and uses the appropriate jar version.

Why do you need separate jars for each version? Is the Java code different for each version, or just the native libraries?
If it's Java code you're worried about and the jars do not overlap classes, there's no problem here.
