Map ID Processing for a CHM file

This is just a question so I understand fully how this
works...
I have created a Map file for my project and assigned numeric
map ID's to each topic that needs to be linked from my application
to my CHM file. I have a topic with:
Topic Title = "Historical HPI Data Viewer"
File Name in source = "Historical_HPI_Viewer_Overview.htm"
MapID = 60
My developers use the map ID of 60 and are having a problem
getting to the topic (all other maps work). Not sure what the
problem is just yet (developer just emailed this morning that "it's
not coming up"). I tested in the CSH tester in the Tools tab and it
works fine.
I just want to understand how the CHM file interprets the map
ID sent to it and would like to know how the map ID works with the
topic and the call from the application.
Does RoboHelp put the map ID in the topic source somewhere?
I cannot find any notation of the map id in the topic source.
Is this put into the CHM file when compiled or does it
interpret the Map ID to the Topic Title?
What if the topic title is modified and no new Map file is
generated, is this a problem?
As always, any information would be appreciated.
Thanks - Michael F Weart

Hi Michael.
There are two parts to context sensitive help. The first is
the map file that assigns a mapid number to a topic. This uses a
topic id that is linked to the file via the second element - the
alias file. This file - look for the project's .ALI file - contains
the topic id and the file name. Hope this helps.

How to map import process for items

Dear All,
can anyone guide me how to map import process for items for our customer

Hi,
The process looks correct. For cost related to clearing agents who perform the formalities at customs office, use landed cost.

Define a version number for a chm file

I need to fix a version number in a chm file to determine
wich version a customer uses. At this moment I distinguish them by
chm's content, but I'm not happy for this choice.
Is this possible?
Thanks.
Raffaele.

Hi rdinatale
Another thing you can do is to simply edit the Window
properties to include the version number. Of course, this too would
need to be done each time you update the version. But once it was
done, it would show up in the title bar of the .CHM.
Just a thought... Rick

How do I design a Process for resizing multiple files for Premiere Elements

Hi
I am trying to understand how best to resize my slide shows of still photos to export to Premiere Elements, to reduce errors in rendering, as advised on a separate discussion.
I understand I should reduce the resolution to something like the PE Frame Size, 720 by 576 for UK PAL.
I cannot do this on Files with pan and zoom
So I think this is what I do
Export a Collection to a file.
Resize all files in the folder to a new folder using the Process Multiple files command
On trying that I have the following questions
If I do it this way, the files in portrait orientation don't correctly resize to the size I want, so what do I do with a folder of mixed orientations? Do I do two passes, or rotate the Photos, or something else?
Now do I now have to reimport all these photos (the resized collection) into the Catalogue, create a new Collection, and then apply zooms in my Slide Show creation of this Collection. I really want to retain the original photos for printing quality so don't really want to take the originals out of the Catalogue. I will end up doubling the size of my catalogue?
Will the pan/zoom ones cause a problem to render in PE?
Thanks
Chris

I have PEv.8 on my machine now, but it is probably the same in v.5
In Editor, go to File>Process multiple files. In the dialog, on the right under "Labels" you should find "Watermark".
An alternative is to make a brush containing the information which you wish to impart. With a brush you can place it precisely in a locus that you desire, but this would be labor intensive for 400 photos. The brush would be retained among the other brushes, and it could be used at any time.

Linking a chm file

hello,
i have a little help file. i like to link the chm file from inside the programm.
usually i use Runtime.. to launch an appropriate prog..
what is a common way for a chm file ?
marco

can be get the os directory with System.getProperty ?
btn.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
try {
String dir = System.getProperty("user.dir");
String destination = dir + "/help.chm";
String prog = "c:/winnt" + "/hh.exe";
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec( prog + " " + destination );
catch (Exception x) {}

Best Location for Deploying Common File in WSP

I have a small wsp containing a masterpage and a stylesheet that will act as the standard branding for many SP site collections in my company. One of the requirements is to have a footer with a link to a Terms & Conditions PDF in the masterpage.
So I'd like this PDF to be deployed in this WSP with the masterpage and styles so that we don't have to manually add it when a new site collection is created.
My question is where is the best place to deploy this file so that I can easily link to it from anywhere in the site collection (i.e. top level site vs subsite)? I was thinking a mapped folder would be best, but I'm not sure, and frankly I'm not sure
how to link to a file in a mapped folder. Am I making this too difficult, should I just put the file in one centralized public place and hard-code the link in the master page? Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks.

Use mapped folder (Layouts) to deploy your files. In custom web part solution, map folder with your solution and copy the files in it. All other site collections can access files form mapped folder.

How to estimate time required by one replicate to process 10 MB trai file

Hi
Consider one trail file of size 10MB. The trail file contains only insert statements. Size of one record is 2KB and total trail file size 10 MB. Under ideal configuration how much time the Replicate would take to read the trail file and apply transactions on target server
Is there any formuale to estimate time required by Replicat process for a trail file ?
Thanks

There are so many variables I wouldn't venture to guess.
I have implemented GG on multiple systems, each had their own performance characteristics depending on operating system, oracle version, makeup of the data being replicated, network latency, load on the source system, load on the target system, etc.
My best suggestion is to set it up and try it out.
In my experience once set up I have had to do very little GG specific tuning to get very good speed (sometimes tweaking BATCHSQL helps for some usage patterns). Many SLAs I have encountered are 15 minutes... I get spoiled sometimes when I report we are getting committed transactions captured transported and applied within just a few seconds. And then they always want their data in 10 seconds :)

RoboHelp HTML 9 - CHM file Lost focus on selected topic on Content tab.

Dear all,
In my generated CHM file, I click on a topic on the Content tab, then I click anywhere in the content displayed on the right pane. The selected topic on the Content tab then not highlighted anymore. Why it happens like that ?
Anyone please help me explain this case and guide me solve that problem.
Thank a lot.
P.

Hi there
There are a couple of options you likely need to configure.
First, Click View > Pods > Project Set up and look at the Window properties for your CHM.
Note the options I've highlighted below:
Next, Click View > Pods > Single Source Layouts and right-click the Microsoft HTML Help layout.
Choose Properties and look at the Single Source Layout properties for your CHM file. Once you examine them, click the Edit button next to "Advanced Settings".
The HTML Help Advanced Settings dialog shoul open. Click the TOC Styles tab.
From there, ensure you have the option I've highlighted below.
Hopefully this helps... Rick

How do I generate PDF and CHM files from the a command line in windows?

I am trying to set up a PC to build some documents during the night. I was looking for a way to get framemaker to generate PDF and CHM files via a command line in windows? How is this done with FrameMaker 12
Thanks for the help
Alex

Hi,
The part with generate a PDF via a jsx seems to work OK, except when FrameMaker decides that it will not work anymore. I must say I am not impressed with the stabillity of FrameMaker 12, there is room for a lot of improvement!.
I have given up on how to figure out how to get FrameMaker 12 to generate chm files via jsx scripts, any pointes are still very welcome.
The route I have taken is I make a RoboHelp project for each chm files I need to generate. The only thing this RoboHelp project contains is a link to the actual FrameMaker project I want to generate a chm file.
To make the chm I start RoboHelp with a script that
1) Opens the desired project
2) Sets the desired output chm files name
3) Generates the chm file
4) And finally quits RoboHelp
Below is a copy of the jsx in case anyone can reuse anything. And yes parameters are transfered via enviroments variable. I have later learned there is some way to read the parameters given at a command line but this seems to work so I stick to this for now.
// Get parameters
var RhProjName = $.getenv("RH_PROJ_NAME");
var RhChmName = $.getenv("RH_CHM_NAME");
var RhLogFileName = $.getenv("RH_LOGFILE_NAME");
var RhLogFile = new File(RhLogFileName);
RhLogFile.open("w", "TEXT");
RhLogFile.writeln("RH_PROJ_NAME : ", RhProjName);
RhLogFile.writeln("RH_CHM_NAME : ", RhChmName);
doc = RoboHelp.openProject (RhProjName, 1);
var sslmngr = RoboHelp.project.SSLManager;
for(var i = 1; i<=sslmngr.count; i++){
var ssl = sslmngr.item(i);
if(ssl.name == 'Microsoft HTML Help') {
    // Set the output location and file name
    ssl.setSpecificProperty("DestinationProjectName", RhChmName);
    if (doc.saveAll(true) ) {
      RhLogFile.writeln("saveAll returned TRUE");
    } else {
      RhLogFile.writeln("saveAll returned FALSE");
    if ( ssl.generate() ) {
      RhLogFile.writeln("ssl.generate returned TRUE");
    } else {
      RhLogFile.writeln("ssl.generate returned FALSE");
} else {
    // alert ("Found " + ssl.name + " dont do anything");
doc.saveAll(true);
RhLogFile.close();
RoboHelp.closeProject();
RoboHelp.quit();

Link / Merge chm files on Clients PC

Hi,
We have a main project and add in modules that we can distribute separately as required.
We would like to have 1 searchable CHM file, but do not want to include all of our add-in modules into the 1 CHM file.
My idea was that we have 1 main CHM, then it searches for other CHM files on the customers PC (in selected directories) and includes them.
Is this possible. I am willing to move to WebHelp if it is possible using that.
I am using Robohelp HTML 10.
May Thanks,
Joe

Hi Joe
Just to add another twist to things here, perhaps you have CHM A, CHM B and CHM C.
If you want to search CHM A and have it find results that are also found in CHM B and CHM C as if they were a singular larger CHM, you would normally have them in a single folder and have CHM A (or one of them) designated as the Master.
The twist here is that they wouldn't have to exist in the same folder. Sure, it's simpler that way, but if your developers have arranged things in such a fashion that you have CHM files in different folders, the information below may help.
If you look at your RoboHelp Toolbox Pod (View > Pods > Toolbox) you should find a utility there named HTML Help Registration. When you run this tool you are able to add CHM file references to your Windows registry. And that's the key point. When CHM file references exist in the Windows Registry, pathing location is added. Many eons ago I created some instructions that helped with that. In this case, you will likely be interested in the last bit of that topic where I talk about exporting a registry key that may be used to amend other registries.

Possible to change the window size of a CHM file, when first opened?

Hi all,
Anyone knows if this is doable? I know lots of chm files that
open in different window sizes, suitable for their content. But
right now when I compile, it opens quite narrow, that I have to
resize manually.
Take care,
Tim

Hi Tim,
This is what I have done. In the Project Manager, expand the
Windows folder and double click the default window for your chm
file. This will open the window properties screen. There is a
checkbox that says something like "Remember Window Size" which you
can turn on. Regenerate your layout and view the resulting chm
file. It will be small and narrow still, but after you resize it
any subsequent builds in this layout will default to the size you
set.
Hope this helps and if there is a better way please let me
know!
Cheers

Hi,
Yes, thats the problem.
You are creating file from test tab of 1..N mapping .
In case of 1..N mappping in mapping Extra tags of messages are addded to the data.As shown here:-
Messages
      Message1
           MessageType
When you use this mapping to generate xml message then it will add additional tags for <Messages> and <Message1>, which is not correct. it should only have structure of you MT.
So remove start and end tag of <Messages> and <Message1> from your data file. Mentioned below in bold.
<xml......>
<Messages>
<Message1>
<MT_...>
</MT_...>
</Message1>
</Messages>
This should solve your problem.

Sami.

Keeping Temporary Files Around? Need properly formatted .ali file for a CHM help.

As part of our localization process, I need to access the .ali file that is in the temporary folder. Back in RH 7, I could just copy the .ali file from the RH project, but in RH 9 it's now in an XML format and isn't in a format directly usable with CHM files. However, when RH compiles the CHM file, the .ali is changed into a format I need. Unfortunately, if I decompile the CHM file, the .ali file isn't there. So my only route is to grab it from the temporary build folder. If I'm compiling a large file, it's not a big deal because I have time to make a copy of the .h file in the temporary folder and paste it somewhere outside of the folder but for smaller projects the temporary folder is around for just a little while before it is removed.
Does anyone know of a way to keep the temporary build folder around after compilation of a CHM file finishes so I can access this file?
Thanks,
Jared

Use the Disk Utility in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder to create a disk image and use the disk image to store the Mac files; they will keep their date and other Mac specific information. The disk image's contents cannot normally be used on a PC.
There are other ways of doing this if the disk image method doesn't work for some reason; these include using this method of creating partitions, and installing MacDrive on the PCs.

Error msg - not enough memory available for this task - chm file

Hi All
I am using RoboHelp for HTML 8.0 and creating chm file. I am using context sensitive help and the F1 key functionality. I have in the past created some map ID's with F1 and they have worked properly with our company software application. Now, I have a different database with our company and a larger help file and it is not working. I am told that the database should work. I also have lots of memory. I am working off of my hard drive which is where the .exe is for the company application and my chm file. I can open my .chm file. When I go into the application and press F1 where I created the map ID;s I get the message, not enough memory available for this task and also topic not available. Quit one or more programs to increase memory.
I have lots of memory and my file is only 598kb. I also only have RoboHelp and the application running. When I did a search, I found an article for a fix from 2004 from Adobe - Rb_46124 - not sure if this is the fix but the steps dont match since it is old.
Please help me.
Thanks
Caryn

Hi there
Actually, if you were to use FlashHelp output, you might find that the problems are compounded, as now you have the Flash Player and all its idiosyncrasies in the mix.

When installing Server 2008 Datacenter from disc, I get the error message "Windows could not parse or process the unattent answer file for pass [specialize].

This is a clean install from s disc onto a 3TB GPT drive. This is for testing. I'm not concerned with finding a more practical solution for this installation.
There is no image or answer file involved. But at the "Completing Installation" phase, I receive this error message about an answer file.
Has anyone else expecrienced this problem? The only results I find here are regarding actual imaging with answer files.
EDIT: [Redacted]
EDIT 2: Since this now happens with every single installation of Server 2008 on this system, I feel the need to keep this open and elaborate on my situation.
I originally installed Server 2008 on the 2TB partition of this 3TB drive. The partition type was MBR. I reinstalled it (there was a false alarm for malicious software) since it was a fresh install without updates or anything else installed. And for the
second time, it installed fine.
I decided to make the most of my 3TB drive and try GPT partitioning. So I went into the command prompt > diskpart > ran "clean" on the disk, then "convert GPT"
That is when I tried another install of Server 2008 and received this error message about an answer file.
I decided to convert it back to MBR and get on with what I wanted to test in the first place. So I went into Diskpart again, ran "clean", rand "convert MBR" and started the install. But this resulted in the same error message about an
answer file.
I went back to Diskpart, "clean"ed the disk, ran "convert dynamic" to make sure it was dynamic, then tried the install again, with the same result.
Now, I've tried installing on the disk as GPT, MBR basic and MBR dynamic. I've tried a different installation disc, as well. I got the same result. At this point, I'm going to switch hard drives, but I'm still open to input. Thanks for reading!

Hi,
As you swapped the hard disk, whether the same issue occurs again if you redo the same steps?
I asked "OEM or retail" because of this known issue:
"Windows could not parse or process the unattend answer file for pass [specialize]" error message when you perform an in-place upgrade in Windows 7 or in Windows Server 2008 R2
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2425962
An answer file may already contain in the disc which causes the issue.
If issue still exists you can click Shift + F10 during the installation process to see the log. Check if the installation error for detailed information.
If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]
