Map ID question

I found a few posts on Map IDs, but none of them exactly answer my question, at least not that I can tell. My apologies if this is a duplicate.
I'm using RoboHelp 9.
I am working on a HTMLHelp project with a .chm output. I want to implement dialog-level help. That is, there will be a help button or icon on the window and the user will click that to get help on the window itself.
Let's ignore the question of whether the developers reuse a window, changing the output with variables, which is something I read about on a post I found. Let's assume for a second that the developer will be able to "hook up" the help button to a topic as long as I give her a map file.
As someone noted in a previous topic, auto-map works well the first time you use it, but the question is, how do I automatically get a map ID for a topic I've added?
For example, today I added 20 placeholder topics. The only way I know to get map IDs for a new topic is this:
1. Open Topic Properties (I'm right-clicking on the topic in the Topic List pane and selecting Properties).
2. Click the Advanced tab.
3. Click the Edit Map IDs button.
4. Select the Map File at the top.
5. Make sure that the correct topic is highlighted in the right pane (it's hard to see).
6. CLick the Auto-map button.
Isn't there any way to configure RH so that whenever I create a new topic, RH automatically gives it a map number without me doing anything?
(And am I imagining it, or did RH at one time used to do this? I've used it sporadically since 1995, and I don't remember having to re-open the Properties window. Maybe the window for creating a new topic had a checkbox?)
Colum, I read your article and comments on manually adding the new map IDs. As you can probably tell by the fact that I'm creating placeholder topics, this help file isn't complete yet. Should I just delete the map file, wait until I've finished adding topics, and then auto-number as if I was just starting out?

Hi,
Currently, there is no way to assign a map number automatically to a topic when they are created but you can manually select multiple topics and auto-map them in one-go by doing the following steps:
1. Open the Edit Map IDs dialog by doing one of the following:
(a) Open the Project Set-up pod and navigate to the Context-Sensitive Help > Map files folder and double click on a map file to edit it.
(b) Open Topic Properties, click on Advanced tab and then click on Edit Map IDs button.
2. Select the Map File from the Map File drop-down in the Edit Map IDs dialog.
3. Now select all the required topics by pressing Ctrl button and clicking on the topics.
4. Click on Auto-map button.
Thanks,
Aditi

CGI map file questions, help !!!

I am trying to use the CGI map file to open web reports. I got two questions at this time.
1. How to refresh the report to reflect resent edits ? I used the CGI map to open a report. Later, I made some edits to the report and opened it again. However, the browser showed the report before the edit. I had to save the report to different file name and edited the key in the map file to show the edited report. This should not be the right way.
2. How to open a report on a separated screen which is on top of the original one ?
Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi Kate.
As far as a find and replace tool is concerned, most of us
here prefer using some tool such as FAR or BkReplacem as they offer
more features to help in this kind of scenario. The simple answer
is however that these tools, as indeed does the inbuilt tool, bases
it's search on the HTML. Therefore if there are specific instances
of HTML strings you will have to analyse carefully them before you
replace anything. It sounds like you are already some down down
this line. Take a backup of your project and test out your theory.
As far as your map file question is concerned, you can safely
reimport your map file PROVIDED that no changes have been made to
the mapids in the meantime. Personally I wouldn't do this unless
you are 100% sure of this. If it is a case of having 100s of topics
that are not mapped and never have been but could be, I'd just
create a new map file and map away.

Nokia 6220 - GPS,Maps,Navigation Question

This may be a silly question but I'm a little confused over this
I am considering buying a 6220 (SIM free), mainly because it's an 'upgraded' version to my existing 6300.
The idea is instead of having a SAT NAV (for the occasional trips to places I've never been before) & a mobile phone & a MP3 player etc - I get an all-in-one in a small package
Now to the question - What is the difference between 'Nokia Maps' and 'Navigation' ?.
Apparently 'Nokia Maps' is free but 'Navigation' isn't
Am I right in assuming that 'Nokia Maps' only shows you where you are & Where you want to go BUT doesn't give constant updates as you drive/walk between the 2 - a bit like if you have a map & ask a passerby to shows you where you are & where you want to go on the map - but doesn't tell you how to get there (you have to figure it out yourself)
BUT 'Navigation' is where you can have it in the car & it tells you the directions ('take next left'/'3rd right at next roundabout' etc) each step of the way i.e. Just like a Car 'SAT-NAV' equivalent
I don't like the idea of paying for a 'satnav/phone/media player' combi-device then paying EXTRA so that you can use it as a SAT-NAV, especially if you only going to use it maybe once or twice in a year.

I think I have worked out what is going on here...
I hard reset my N95, installed the maps fresh (which took a very long time, but that is a different subject, so I won't get going on that)
I then checked if I could do full 7 digit postcode search while at home and still no, with "Network Use" set to "Never"
However, I have now come into the office, defined the wlan acess point (mine is broken at home) and set "Network Use" to "when needed" and I can do full 7 digit postcode search. If I then change that setting to "never" it reversts back to truncating the postcode.
I would appreciate if other N95 owners could confirm that this happens on their N95 too, and if so, it looks like maps is pulling additional info from somewhere to enchance the downloaded map.
You seem to be right. I cleared all the maps, then downloaded the maps for England using maploader and tested it. With network connection you can do full postcode search, but as soon as the internet connection is lost or turned off the system reverts back to truncating the postcode.
If you use the route planner while you have the network connection you can use the full postcode to set the destination point while having the GPS position as your starting point and the destination point gets stored as your destination.

N97 - Maps/Navigation Question (probably a rather ...

I have managed to update my actual maps. So that's good. My compass seems to work, so that is also good.
Before the Maps update I managed to save my home address and set it as a Favourite. Since the update of Maps (the app) and the actual maps themselves, I can't seem to save another Favourite location – such as my work address.
So, this may be a very dumb question, but I'm allowed a few surely? LOL Phones I'm OK with, computers are my livelihood – but GPS is a whole new confusing world to me. OK – I get the basic concept – my device communicates with a silver dish in the sky and decides where I am, I tell it where I want to go, it determines where that is and charts a route for me and guides me on my way (I hope – if the Telstra ad on TV here is any indication, that could be problematic).
How do I save a darn new address and make it a Favourite – I can't even save an address now, yet clearly I did before, because my home address is still there.
Also, I gather I have to subscribe to this thing if I actually want driving instructions etc. For $79.99 a year, it seems rather expensive – what am I actually getting for that $79 when the use of the satellite seems to be charged on my phone bill.
I'm so confused.
Can someone please give me a kindergarten intro to GPS/Maps/what am I paying for/anything else I need to know? How to save an address would be a good start! Or is the answer to that, that my trial period has run out?

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Dear Advanced Sage.
There are 4 components to a "SatNav" system.
1 - A GPS device, which triangulates your position using satellites in space. The same principle that land surveyors use to locate a point by measuring its distance from (at least) 2 other points.Your location is identified as a pair of co-ordinates on the world mapping convention system, latitude and longitude.
2 - A digitised map (or twelve).
3 - Some software which locates the identified co-ordinates on the digitised map, and the co-ordinates of any other "known"location. The map includes data about the various roads between the 2 identified locations, and determines the permutations of ways to get from A to B. According to your chosen priorities (faster route, shorter route, no toll roads, no ferries, etc) the software will inform you of the "best" route. It will normally do this by showing you this route, possibly step by step, on the screen of your SatNav.
The cost of these 3 elements is paid for (once and for all) in the purchase of the phone.
To make the work of the number 1 component easier, that is, the task of the GPS to locate you in the first place, the GPS designers came up with AGPS - "Assisted" GPS. The assistance comes from the phones natural ability know where it is to a crude, but useful, extent by knowing the location of its "cell". This knowledge helps the GPS to calculate its position more quickly, by narrowing down its area of search. For the GPS to acquire this information, it needs to use the phones data connection to send and receive a small chunk of data about the cell, which gives the initial rough position to the GPS.
If you select this AGPS option in your "Positioning" settings, you have to pay for the data connection, or it will come from your data allowance. It's not a lot, and speeds up the operation of the GPS, but it's not necessary for the operation of the GPS.
4 - If, in addition to the visual directions from A to B, as shown on your screen, you want the SatNav to give you directions as you travel, this is known as "Navigation". It's like having a Navigator (as in rallying) sitting in the passenger seat, giving you directions as you go.
Nokia charge a license fee for this "Navigation". From what I've seen recently, the current licenses on offer cover periods up to 1 year. I bought my Navigation license for my old N95, and I was then able to buy a 3 year license, which worked out cheaper per year. I've now tranferred my license from my old N95 to my new N97.
Actually, I didn't have to do anything to "transfer" the license. You can set the license, on the Nokia server, to be linked to either your sim card, or your phone. If you link it to your phone, it will work with any sim card in the phone. If you link it to the sim card, your license will work. no matter what (nokia SatNav) phone you put your sim card in.
That's about it really.
To sum up, the GPS, software, and maps are all included in the price of the phone, including the software and maps updates. If you choose AGPS you will have to pay for the small data charges from your data allowance. (There's no point in buying this phone without an "unlimited" data allowance - personal opinion). For "Navigation", turn-by-turn direction, you will have to pay for a license.
For what it's worth. I still have my old N95. I felt sorry for it, it's still a great phone, because it was left with no "Navigation" license, although I still had a perfectly working GPS. So I treated it to a copy of Garmin Mobile XT software. This installed perfectly on the N95, and, unlike the Nokia "Navigation" license, you only pay once. There's no term license. Once you've bought it, it's yours. It cost £50 GBP, and is accurate and easier to use than Nokia Maps. It wouldn't work on my N97, though, so I guess it is only for Symbian 3 devices, not Symbian 5. I bought a cheap "Pay and Go" sim card, to enable the Garmin software to use AGPS. The first time I used it thoug, it worked perfectly, and was quick to find my location, even without the AGPS assistance. A lovely bit of software.
Phew ...

Game server: Map managing questions

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to develop some kind of RPG. I have different issues, where I need advice:
1) Map(2D) managment on game server
The map I want to keep in memory on server will contain objects such as: Item, NPC, Character, etc.
Item, NPC, Character and other objects going to extend MapObject class, because I want to keep all this data in same place.
Let's suppose that the map will have 50x50 tiles..
I want to use Hashtable array to store elements there... So I will have something like this:
Hashtable <String, MapObject>[][] map = new Hashtable[50][50];
String(aka key) is going to be object_name + "_" + object_id..
The questions are:
- What about performance in this situation?
- Is there any other data structure which can suite better to this situation?
2) The other question I have is about sending map object(once in fixed period of time) and updates(for example some character walked or picked an item).
The architecture I thought for sending data to client is:
TCP Connection for authentication anc chat
MultiCast Socket for synchronizing map object and sending updates
- Is this aceptable architecture for server?
- Is MultiCast socket good for sending updates and map object?(because there will be significant gain in term of computation on server, comparing to TCP, but what about losses of packets? what about traffic? what kind of protections(excluding timeouts) should I implement on client-side? )
Thank you in advance.

How comes?Well, one reason is that your test is broken. The first set of tests will always take longer, cause it's before hotspot has kicked in, etc. I moved the test to a method, precreated the objects (remember, if gc happens in one and not the other it's a huge difference), and called them repeatedly. Once I did that, there wasn't really a noticeable difference between them:
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Hashtable;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.Random;
public class HashMapTest
   private static MapObject[] objs = new MapObject[200000];
   private static Random gen = new Random();
   public static void main(String [] agrs)
      for ( int i = 0; i < objs.length; i++ ) {
         objs[i] = new MapObject("ID" + i, "NAME"+i);
      hashMap();
      hashTable();
      hashMap();
      hashTable();
      hashMap();
      hashTable();
      hashMap();
      hashTable();
   private static void hashMap() {
      doTest(new HashMap<String, MapObject>());
   private static void hashTable() {
      doTest(new Hashtable<String, MapObject>());
   private static void doTest(Map<String, MapObject> map) {
      long start_time = System.currentTimeMillis();
      for (int i = 0; i < objs.length; i++)
         map.put(objs.id , objs[i]);
for (int i = 0; i < objs.length; i++)
int randomInt = gen.nextInt(objs.length);
map.get("ID" + randomInt);
System.out.println(map.getClass() + ": " + (System.currentTimeMillis() - start_time));
class MapObject
String name;
String id;
public MapObject (String id, String name)
this.id = id;
this.name = name;
}Results of one arbitrary test:
[pre]class java.util.HashMap: 343
class java.util.Hashtable: 500
class java.util.HashMap: 313
class java.util.Hashtable: 328

Maps App Question

I am considering the $20 upgrade, even though it's painful to accept. I have one question about the maps application. Can I get driving directions when connected to Wi-fi, save it, and have it available on a road trip when I won't be connected to wi-fi?

While at home and on wifi you can get directions and then set the view of maps to list so it shows you all the directions step by step.
Then leave maps how it is. If you want to play music or something in the mean time then press the home key to leave maps how it is and then just return to it when you get in the car and need the directions and they will still be there waiting for you.

DHCP/Subnets/Static Maps setup question

We have a unique teaching environment where we would like both employees (with laptops) and clients to be able to plug into any ethernet port in the building or be wireless. My question is, what is the best way to set things up so that employees always get the same ip and have access to the full range of services (file services, LDAP, Internet) but customers only have access to the Internet but not internal services. I have tried using static maps for employees but for some reason, customers sometimes end up getting one of the static maps intended for employees (and I have verified that all the MAC addresses are entered correctly). I am pretty new to Tiger server so any help is greatly appreciated.

If im not mistaking your DHCP settings are overlapping with the ips you have statically assigned. To fix this reserve say 192.168.1.1-127 for static ips and let dhcp use the remainder.

AD OID mapping rule questions

Hi,
Can someone please tell me how to map the first and last names from AD to OID in the mapping file. Currently I have the following and wanted to make sure if it's correct:
sn,SAMAccountName: : :person:sn: :person:sn|SAMAccountName
givenName: : :person:givenName: :person
# Map the userprincipalname to the nickname attr by default
#userPrincipalName: : :user:uid: :inetorgperson:userPrincipalName
# Map the SamAccountName to the nickname attr if required
# If this rule is enabled, userprincipalname rule needs to be disabled
sAMAccountName: : :user:uid: :inetorgperson:sAMAccountName
The other question I have is why we need to disable userprincipalname rule when the following is enabled. As I am also trying to enable WNA/SSO too, what other rules I need for that in my mapping file.
sAMAccountName: : :user:uid: :inetorgperson:sAMAccountName
Thanks

I have these first two rules here and they seem to be working fine. But I think you will have trouble with the third one with WNA authentication.
About the two last rules for uid, the reason you can only have onle one of these is that both are storing a value on the uid attribute. You need to choose wether you want to use the samaccountname or the userprincipalname on it.
I remember seeing somewhere that for WNA authentication to work the uid should be in the format [email protected], so you would need to map userprincipalname to uid instead of samaccountname, I am not absolutely sure about this since I have never setup WNA.
And also you would need to populate the krbprincipalname. I think this one is automatically copied to the orclsamaccountname attribute, which is required. I have a rule like this here:
userPrincipalName: : :user:krbPrincipalName: :orcluserv2:trunc(userPrincipalName,'@')+'@'+toupper(truncl(userPrincipalName,'@'))
There are some walktroughs on Oracle By Examples that I found very usefull. This one is for WNA:

Unbound Map, architecture question

Hey guys,
I have the following question. The core of our system is a singleton which
maintains a Map of String->Object bindings. This is a relatively small Map,
hardly ever over 20 objects. Now I want to store this Map in the database.
The Objects in the Map are objects in the database already, however the
singleton itself shouldn't be in the database. The Map is only bound to the
singleton. No other object can get to it directly. How can I model this?
Greetings,
Martin van Dijken

A little bit of everything :)

Think I'll go for the Object method. Don't really like the singleton in

Thanks.
BTW, isn't it around midnight on the east coast right now? Are you a
european employee or just that loyal( /dumb;) )?
I see. I personally would recommend enforcing at load time if that is
best for you. Alternatively, you could of course store each row as its
own app-id PC with the singleton loading from the extent instances of
key-oid pair. I guess it depends on how often the state of the map
changes (each row as currently built doesn't have opt-locking
capabilities), whether app-id makes sense for your map rows and how much
state management you want in your singleton.
On second thought, my leaning is towards the latter idea but I think
both have their strengths and weaknesses.
Martin van Dijken wrote:
Here's the idea:
We have a system of objects. These objects of course have their own ids.
Now
in our HTML at some points we have places where we want to open 1specific
object. However if we put the id at that place, and someone deleted our
object, we'd be lost. So, instead of putting the id of an application inthe
HTML, we place a String in the HTML. Through a simple web-interface it's
possible to alter to what object the String points. Then the firstobject
can safely be deleted. This simple interface also allows the creation ofnew
keys.
Now in our current system, these string-keys and ids are simply storedin
one table.
|Table Mapping |
------------------+
|key |objectid |
------------------+
When the singleton is loaded, it retrieves the entire Map and it is theonly
object that can edit anything in the map.
So what you're suggesting is storing the Singleton in the database andthen
manually guaranteeing it's a singleton at load time?

Map Loader question

Hi
I have a few questions about how to update maps and voice guidance data on my phone.
I have US maps installed on my phone.
Let's say they come out with an updated version of the US maps.
How will Maps Loader (s/w installed on my PC) know of the update? Does the Maps Loader software on my computer automatically check for updates? I don't see any option for this.
Ok, let's say somehow I get the updated maps on my computer.
I understand that I need to use Maps Loader application on my PC to load the latest map data on my phone.
When I try to do that, why doesn't Maps Loader application show that I have a version installed already? When I open the Maps Loader app, it just shows what you decide to add on in the 'Selection' pane. Is there no good way of knowing what version of the country map you are loading or the version that is installed?
Also, is there a way to specify a name of a contact in your contact book instead of having to type out the whole address for the contact?
I have tried typing the name of the contact, but it doesn't like it.
Thanks in advance,
KG

Yes that absolutely sucks.
So I would have to go through the exercise of deleting old maps data, downloading new maps data and re-installing this to potentially have the same version installed (if there was no update)..!
This and the following 2 issues are making me hate s60:
-not being able to snooze alarm, calendar reminders etc. when keyguard lock is enabled.
-not being able to get driving directions by contact..., so if i have to look up directions to a contact's address, i have to first goto contacts, pull up the contact, lookup his address, remember it and then type the address in Ovi maps!
Also, i have found that if i enable to key lock with a speficied lock code say 4 digit lock code, when i try to unlock the phone with the lock code, it NEVER recognizes the very first digit press, so I actually have to key in 5 digits for a 4 digit lock code...! **bleep**!
And I don't know about other S60 phones, but at least on my Nokia 5230, the built in email client only has 'Download Headers only' option, not the full message...., so once the headers are downloaded, I have to click on the email and then it pauses for a good 5-6 seconds while it is actually downloading the content of the email...., and then another second or two to open the email.......!
Oh and not to mention, I installed Ovi Suite first on my PC, it wouldn't even sync Calendar and Tasks with my Outlook. I had to read/research and figure out on my own that this is a known issue with Ovi Suite! I had to remove Ovi Suite and install PC Suite and now it works...fantastic work Nokia!
Seriously, this is a popular platform? I fail to see why...

Show policy-map interface | Question about QOS show command output

When I issue the show policy-map interface command (in this case on a 3845) there is some output I don't understand.

Disk format GPT and Apple Partition Map Upgrade questions

I was told that switching to the new computer with snow leopard that I would need to reformat my drives from my G5 to GPT (GUID Partition Table) from Apple Partition Map (APM) to get time machine to work (see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2706634&tstart=0)
<<Intel Macs boot to either, but PPC Macs only boot to APM. Intel Mac software (OS) installer only want to install and update to GPT, so if you want to use existing drives to install OS X SL to, you will need to reformat the drive.>>
Disk utility is only giving me Mac OS Extended options, which I thought was my drive format already. So what do I do now? do I erase those drives or what? I'd rather not if I don't need to.

Hi-
The Erase window only offers the formatting scheme.
The Partition Tab offers the selection of GPT or APM partitioning scheme.
You don't have to partition beyond one partition if you don't want to.
Just make sure GPT is selected and the apply.

Java Mapping Design Question

Hi All,
I have a Java mapping requrement for which I would like some suggestions.
I have 3 variables:
     1) price
     2) price factor
     3) pricing condition
There is already quite a bit of logic determining these.
The new requirement is that if the price has a precision greater than 2 (eg 1.234 but not 1.23) then:
     1) set price = price * 10
     2) set price factor = 10
     3) set pricing condition = "ZMPE"
Since it is unclear to me that there is an easy way to modify the current logic, I would rather try to take the current output for these 3 variables and override their values in the way described above. (I did try modifying the current logic but I have found it gave me problems.)
So is there a simple way that I can take the current values and override them in the way described. For instance can I do this with a single User Defined Function.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers
Gerard

Hi Gerard - Please check the below screenshot.. (just change the type to result so that it'll be your output parameter.)

Message Mapping Design Question

I have to parse from a source field (x) and map to this structure:
<Line>
<Number\>
<Descr\>
<Code\>
</Line>
The source field is a string that contains newline characters (just a blob of text). Example:
ABC\nLine 1,widget, 123A\nXYZ\nLine 2,gadget,123B
I need to get at the line number, description, and code mapping values by parsing at newlines and then parse into the "Line" records. I want my result to look like this:
<Line>
<Number>1</Number>
<Descr>widget</Descr>
<Code>123A</Code>
</Line>
<Line>
<Number>2</Number>
<Descr>gadget</Descr>
<Code>123B</Code>
</Line>
Is there a way to chain message mapping functions and/or UDFs and do something like this? In addition, I don't see how I can specify multiple target fields in one mapping. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Raj,
Unfortunately, the source structure is not well structured. It contains lines of data, of which some begin with "Line", and then a line number and other fields separated by commas. It also contains unused lines.
Production example of source data (with breaks at each newline character):

Mapping problem question

Hello,
I am new to XI. I am working on XI 3 sp-9.
I have configured an outbound interface with a JDBC adapter and an inbound rfc/bapi interface. I made some mappings between the message type which holds the database record and the bapi (bapi_requsition_create).
In the XI monitor I see that the source and target payloads are the same so I assume the mapping was not done. So at this stage I figure I should test my mapping in the integration builder.
However when I test the mapping the BAPI xml structure on the result pane does not expand even tough I recieve a message indicating that test finsihed succesfully.
Thanks
Boaz

Hi Boaz,
It sounds like your mapping results in an empty document. Above the test result pane, try pressing the SRC button to view the raw XML result.

Thorsten
