Migrating from JavaHelp to Oracle Help for Java

Currently we have a product in which we have implemented Sun Microsystem's JavaHelp as the Help delivery system. However, after evaluating Oracle Help for Java we would like to migrate from Javahelp to OHJ.
My question is, how difficult would this migration be from the Development side? I have been reviewing the Oracle Help for Java Developer's Guide and comparing it against the JavaHelp documentation but I haven't been able to get a clear idea of how different the implementation is.
Thanks,
Theresa

Hello Theresa,
Thanks for considering Oracle Help.
There isn't much you have to do with your source content and control files. With the exception of the full text search index, the Oracle Help control file formats (helpset, index, map, etc.) extend the JavaHelp formats. So you can use the JavaHelp control files as is, or you can extend them with the Oracle Help extensions. For a quick overview of differences, see the following page in the Oracle Help Guide:
1. Go to http://otn.oracle.com/ohguide/help/.
2. Click "Oracle Help File Formats."
3. Click "Comparision to Javahelp File Formats."
To create an Oracle Help full text search index, run through the Helpset Authoring Wizard and remove the existing JavaHelp search view and have the wizard generate an Oracle Help Search index
on the following wizard page. For the Helpset Authoring Wizard doc:
1. Go to http://otn.oracle.com/ohguide/help/.
2. Click "Authoring Oracle Help Systems."
3. Click "Using the HelpSet Authoring Wizard."
Alternatively, change the helpset file by hand. For the doc:
1. Go to http://otn.oracle.com/ohguide/help/.
2. Click "Oracle Help File Formats."
3. Click "Helpset File."
Then run the indexer. For doc:
1. Go to http://otn.oracle.com/ohguide/help/.
2. Click "Authoring Oracle Help Systems."
3. Click "Using the Full-text Search Indexer."
On the development side, the APIs are different, but they are also very
simple. You create a Help object, add HelpSets, and associate topic-ids
with java UI components using the CSHManager as described in the
Oracle Help Guide:
1. Go to http://otn.oracle.com/ohguide/help/.
2. Click "Oracle Help for Java Developer's Guide."

Call Oracle Help for Java in Oracle forms running in the web

Hi, everyone,
We are developing a web-enabled Oracle database application
system. Oracle suggested us to use Oracle Help for Java(OHJ) to
create an online help system for the web environment. We
successfully created a OHJ program which can be independently.
But we still have no idea how to call this OHJ program from the
forms running in the web environment.
Could anyone help us out?
Thanks.
null

I would like to know if anyone has been able to do this too. Could someone respond if they have successfully gotten this to work?
Thanks!!

Oracle Help for Java 4.2.0 and 4.1.17

Attention to all: Oracle Help for Java 4.2.0 and 4.1.17 are now available for download at
http://otn.oracle.com/software/tech/java/help/content.html
OHJ 4.2.0 features a new Ice Browser and enhancements related to the known modal dialog problem. It requires JDK 1.3 and is a recommended upgrade for all clients using JDK 1.3 or higher.

4.1.17 appears to work correctly with RoboHelp.
4.2 gives an error when attempting to generate fts.idx via RoboHelp.

Oracle Help for the Web 2.0 Production

Oracle Help for the Web 2.0 is now available on OTN Downloads.
Oracle Help for the Web (OHW) 2.0 is a major update to the previous releases OHW 1.1x and OHW 1.0.x, and is designed and recommended to replace both.
Some of the new features in 2.0 include the following:
Support for Bookmarking Navigator Pages
OHW 2.0 no longer uses frames to store navigational state on the webpage. Each navigator stores its complete state on the URL, allowing each page to be bookmarked. This includes TOC locations, keyword locations, and search runs. In the view topic page, the frame information is also saved, allowing a user to forward the link via email, etc to the displayed topic. In addition, if you navigate to a named anchor within a topic page, this page position is also saved and is bookmarkable.
Multiple Locale Support in a Single Instance
OHW 2.0 can now support multiple locales in the same servlet instance. After you register the helpsets in the OHW configuration file, the OHW servlet will automatically determine the best locale to use for a user request (based on browser settings and what locales are available), and display the localized helpset (along with a localized OHW chrome) to the user. This feature also means that if you navigate to a topic in English, and then send the link via email to a user whose browser supports Japanese, if the Japanese helpset is registered, the topic link will appear in Japanese to the second user.
Search Engine Support
OHW has been specially designed so that search engine crawlers can reach all hosted content (including table of contents, and index pages) and easily traverse within and between the available navigators. Page titles have also been redesigned to make pages easier to locate from within a search engine result set.
Ability to Share Resources Across Localized Helpsets
OHW can be configured so that helpsets can share resources such as images and CSS stylesheets. Since each localized helpset no longer needs its own resources, this can dramatically reduce the size of the deployed file.
Relative Content Locations
Content locations can now be specified relative to the OHW configuration file.
True Popup Support
OHW now properly supports Oracle Help popup links. Following this link will bring up a dynamic draggable DHTML window (or a normal popup window if the browser does not support it) with the requested topic page.
All Level Merging in the Table of Contents
Using the default TOC engines, each level of the TOC will merge like elements together. This change reflects modifications made to core Oracle Help classes and mimics the feature added to Oracle Help for Java (OHJ).
New Tree-based Table of Contents Navigator
The Tree-based TOC navigator shows the data in a heirarchical fashion and allows the user to see the full TOC (and not just a limited part of the TOC, as with previous versions of OHW). The tree-based TOC navigator is a standard navigator and can be added by including it in the helpset configuration file.

Yes, I am now able to access this page and download OHW.
Thanks very much,
Lucie

Robohelp 8 JavaHelp and Oracle Help

It is said that JavaHelp Help and Oracle Help can be the output format of RoboHelp project in the help of RoboHelp. But I can not find a way to generate JavaHelp or Oracle Help. Could you tell me does RoboHelp 8 support it?
Generate and publish output from the command prompt. I use the command as below:
"e:\test_RoboHelp\robotest\robotest.xpj -l WebHelp -o E:\test_RoboHelp\a"
"e:\test_RoboHelp\robotest\robotest.xpj" is a project which does exist. But Why the output folder is not "E:\test_RoboHelp\a" as I have set?
by the way, Does RoboHelp have a plan to support HTML Help 2.x?

Hi there
Indeed RoboHelp *CAN* produce JavaHelp and Oracle Help as advertised. However, it isn't configured out of the box to do this. I consider it to be similar to advertising that a pickup truck (errr, sorry Peter, Craig and Colum - I mean LORRY) is able to tow a Boat or a Camper to a lake. Sure, you can tow these items, but there are a few requirements!
You must have a Boat or Camper to tow
You need to install the optional towing package
In order to produce these help output types you will need to separately install the Java Development Kit. Fellow Adobe Community Expert Peter Grainge has some information on his site at the link below.
Click here to visit Peter's site
That covers JavaHelp. I'm unsure about Oracle Help, but would expect it to be similar.
Are we to assume the code referring to E:\test... is your own code?
If so, I see an issue with it. E:\ likely refers to a network location. In my many years of supporting RoboHelp via the forums I can't begin to tell you how many folks have arrived reporting issue after issue after issue that was caused by working on projects while they are stored on network locations.
HTML Help 2 never took off for public use. Mostly Microsoft used it internally. As there is no real generic public outcry for it, I'd be shocked if RoboHelp were to suddenly begin offering it. If you would like to cast your vote for it to be added as an output option, visit the Wish Form.
Hopefully this helps... Rick

DB Migration from MYSQL to ORACLE Using Offline Capture

Hi
Am doing a database migration from MySQL to Oracle using SQL Developer (version 2.1.1.64). So far, I've successfully captured the MySQL database and converted it to the Oracle Model. However, when generating offline scripts to create the converted model schema into Oracle DDL scripts it managed to generate SQL to create: 1) User 2) Sequences 3) Tables 4) Triggers and 5) constraints.
It has created the SQL to add the primary key constraints and index constraints. Although it did the foreign key constraints in the SQL, the foreign key constraints seems to have missed the cascading options for the foreign key constraint. I.e. theres no reference of whether the foreign key constraint will restrict on delete or cascade etc.
We have a foreign keys in the MySql database that have different cascading options and these have not being ported over into the migration SQL. Therefore, all the foreign keys generated in the SQL by default are cascade to restrict on delete.
Does 'Generate Oracle DDL' not take into account a foreign key's on delete cascading option?
Any help or information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hello,
that reminded me for the following thread:
Migration Microsoft SQL Sever 2005 to Oracle 11g cascade on delete problem
That is a similar issue, isn't it?
I opened a bug for that, and it will be fixed in SQL Developer 3.1 (not in any 3.0 Early Adopter version). If you hit the same issue, there is no other way then using the workaround as used in the mentioned thread.

Wolfgang

Migrating from Progress to Oracle

Hi,
Wonder if someone's migrated from Progress to Oracle. What tools are available ? what are the constraints/pitfalls/limitations/restrictions ? I need to understand the overall migration process (not having done one yet). What are the tools ? what the procedural steps specifically to go from Progress to Oracle ?
If someone has done such project, I can use some highlights (if you can share your knowledge/experince).
Much appreciate any response.
Rohit.

Here is a bit of an update gathered from my own research on this issue. Hopefully, it can help someone with the same requirement as mine.
1. Oracle Migration WorkBench does NOT have support for Progress yet and according to Oracle sales, it may never be made available. Thus MWB is not an option.
2. Oracle Migration Toolkit is a possibility as it does have support going from Progress 6.x and 7.x to Oracle 7. The limitation here is that you can only go up to Oracle 7 from Progress 6.x or 7.x. In this case, I can migrate to Oracle 7 and then once all is well, upgrade Oracle to 8i or whatever.
3. The last option is, if migration toolkit does not work out, go the traditional route which is to export/extract Progress out into flat files and then load into Oracle using SQL Loader.

Can you please share some tools / methodology to perform such migrations particularly from COBOL to Oracle Developer??BIG question. Actually, we did it the hard way -- completely rewrote the entire application. Took 4 years with 8 to 10 developers and analysts.
The only tools we used were what you get from Oracle: Forms, SQL Plus, Reports. It was a huge project, done partly to overcome the Y2K century problems.
AS for training, we did not really get any. We just waded in and started writing code ...which definitely improved after about 6 months.
What sort of system are you looking to convert? How much on-line user interface does it currently have? How many data files?

Problem while migrating from Sybase to Oracle using Quick Migrate

Hi,
For SQL Developer version 2.1, while migrating from sybase to oracle, Using Quick migrate, during data move step, for the rows having ''(Blank) values in TEXT data type in SYBASE, which is convertd to CLOB in Oracle, the migration for that table terminates at that row.
However, NULL values in Sybase TEXT data type are successfully inserted in Oracle CLOB.
How can we overcome this?

reproduced and see exception in console, bug logged.

Migrating from Sybase to Oracle

Hi!
Can someone tell me, how to migrate from Sybase to Oracle.
Thank U.

Hi,
You don't say if you have used the SQL*Developer migration workbench for the migration so far.
This has a feature for transferring data offline which should do what you want.
Have a look at the documentation linked from -
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/migration//workbench/index_sqldev_omwb.html
or at -
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12151_01/index.htm
SQL Developer User's Guide - section 2.9.1 Transferring the Data Offline

Oracle Coherence for Java

I am not sure which version of Oracle Coherence I need for the OpenFire clustering plugin. It says I need Oracle Coherence for Java, and that you need a license for it. There appears to be different flavors of it, Standard, Media, Grid, Real-Time, and enterprise. Oracle Media is cheapest license. Can I use this license or do I need a Standard license.

The tell tale sign that the application is communicating with the running cache server is the membership information that is logged. In your previous running of the example you would have "members=1" embedded in the logging. From the sounds of what you are doing, you'd expect this to be different as the application would be joining a running instance. Check out section 1.3 of this doc on the system you are using.
