Multiple single source layouts

Seems robohelp cannot remember multiple build expressions if
you ave more than 5 single source layouts. So each time you
generate a set of html files you need to do the build expression
each time.....so you can also assume the batch feature does nto
work either - Tech Support had no comment, couldn't figure anything
out....again.
Anyone know how to fix?
Thanks,
Steve

Thanks Rick.
I have been down the road about 5 times until I wasted all of
my support tickets. Tech support took all of my files replicated
and tried everything over and over and could not offer a solution.
I run about 40 single source layouts and about 50 build tags. I was
told I should just build each on it own everytime to be sure....and
this cannot trust any batch processing which was one of the man
drivers for purchasing the system.
Probably wouldn't mind as much if there was some form of
upgrade or fix in the last 2 years.....guess Robohelp gets the back
seat for development as the company is focused on other things.

  • Single source layouts and publishing in RH7

    Hi - this is my first experience with RoboHelp 7 HTML and
    even after reading a lot of documentation, I am confused between
    the WebHelp v. WebHelp Pro outputs and publishing to the RoboHelp 7
    server.
    Can you publish multiple Single Source Layouts from one
    project up to the RH server? When creating the SSLs locally, they
    are generated into separate folders, but I do not see where
    distinguishing information is setup in the server destination
    settings. Will the layouts overwrite each other on the server?
    Any help/insights/suggestions would be great!

    WebHelp works on the server without the need for RoboServer
    and is published to a location other than within RoboServer.
    WebHelp Pro whilst generated to your local drive like WebHelp
    has different files in the output and they combine to provide the
    additional WebHelp Pro features.
    I don't work with WebHelp Pro but my understanding is that
    each project will be generated to a different location and you will
    have the option for those projects to be kept separate or merged.
    First though, consider what it is in WebHelp Pro that you
    want and then see if management will pay the extra cost.

  • Faulty Single Source Layout from RoboHelp X5 for Word

    I am running RoboHelp for Word X5.0.1 build 606 and
    generating a Single Source Layout that is in Microsoft HTML Help
    format. The output for the English version is fine. In the Spanish
    version, a list of font names is inserted into pages in the output.
    It looks like the pages that are littered with these font names
    occur only in those topics that are at the beginning of their
    respective Word documents. The text just before
    Introducción that follows is an example:
    Arial;Symbol;StarBats;Times;Times New Roman CE;Times New
    Roman Cyr;Times New Roman Greek;Times New Roman Tur;Times New Roman
    (Hebrew);Times New Roman (Arabic);Times New Roman Baltic;Times New
    Roman (Vietnamese);Arial CE;Arial Cyr;Arial Greek;Arial Tur;Arial
    (Hebrew);Arial (Arabic);Arial Baltic;Arial (Vietnamese);
    Introducción
    Has anyone seen this before? How can I avoid this?

    Hi, Peter,
    I think the usual advice, at least for non-western European
    languages, is to compile an HTML Help file on a PC whose default
    language is set to that of the help file. For example, you should
    compile a Japanese help file on either:
    A full Japanese Windows PC.
    A non-Japanese Windows PC on which you've installed the East
    Asian language files and set the language to Japanese via Control
    Panel > Regional and Language Options > Advanced.
    I don't think it's necessary to go to these lengths for help
    files in western European languages.
    The compile-time settings of both help file and PC have no
    influence over the language in which the text labels of the toolbar
    buttons are shown, as this is determined by Windows at run time.
    So, a French help file will have French button labels when opened
    on a French PC and English labels when opened on an English PC.

  • Robohelp 9 Compiler/Single Source Layouts are dead

    Hi
    We are using Robohelp 9 on Windows 7 and after working on the same project for 2 years now, all of a sudden, the project will not close down without crashing it from the Task Manager, and also we select compile HTML file and it just does nothing.
    We cannot compile any single source layout. We also cannot create a new single source layout - system just ignores all commands.
    We tried deleting part of the project - thinking it was maybe too big, but that is not the case.
    We tried copying the project to another computer thinking maybe the installation is corrupt.
    We also tried deleting the cpd - no luck.
    Can anyone put light on this matter - why do these things always happen just before a deadline?
    Thank you
    Melanie

    First we need to ascertain if this is machine or project specific?
    Did the copy work OK on the other machine?
    What happens with one of the sample projects on the problem machine? Click Open on the RoboHelp Starter page and then click Samples in the ribbon on the left.

  • RH9 - Can I restore layouts in "Single Source Layouts" pod from .ssl files?

    RH 9 (latest)
    Windows 7 x64
    Due to some corruption somewhere in our main help project that prevented me from generating layouts using the RoboHelp command line (rhcl.exe), I deleted my .xpj file and .cpd file, and then recreated the .xpj project file from the .hhp file. This is the recommended fix to get things back to normal that I did two years ago when I got this same error. (For info, see Command line generation errors in log. How do I fix this?)
    However, as expected, all my single source layouts are now missing from the Single Source Layouts pod. Is there a way to recreate the single source layouts from the .ssl files so they appear back in the pod with their previous settings? Like a way to re-import then into the project? I have 36 individual ssls just for printable output alone that I spent creating all day last Friday (1 per chapter), I really do NOT want to manually recreate them.
    A related question is, where does RH store the link between xpj and ssl layouts? Because when I checked the xpj inside Notepad++ prior to deleting it, there weren't any references to the individual single source layout files there; I don't understand how deleting an xpj file removes references to the ssls when the .ssl files obviously still exist in the project folder.

    I'm not at a Rh machine to check where the link is stored but this should work.
    Move the old layouts from the project.
    Recreate layouts with the same character perfect names. Leave default settings.
    With Rh closed,  open them in a text editor. Do the same with the old files
    and copy the content across.
    Backups everywhere of course.

  • Unable to view Single Source WebHelp properties, how to correct?

    I am unable to view my Primary Layout single source webhelp properties in RH9.  Several of the single source layout icons have "?" marks on them.   How do I correct this?   Thanks.

    Hi Folks
    If you ever noticed, the question mark is more of a standard symbol for "Help". Because RoboHelp is a help authoring tool, many of the icons sport a question mark. As Willam indicated, it doesn't mean that something is amiss, unfinished or undefined. Instead, it is simply the icon that represents the layout.
    If you look in your Windows file system at any CHM file (a standard Windows help file) you will notice that it too has a question mark.
    And the older WinHelp (.HLP) format (Pre-Windows 95) was a blue circle with a question mark:

  • Single Source JavaHelp Missing

    I've created a project using RoboHelp HTML 7 and have the
    WebHelp Single Source output as my primary output. The application
    developer wants the JavaHelp output, but I don't have that
    available in my Single Source Layout as a choice. It is available
    in my RoboHelp Word 7 though.
    Any ideas how to add it to RoboHelp HTML? I don't want to
    have to copy the project to RoboHelp Word, just to output for
    JavaHelp.
    Thanks!

    Welcome to our community, Cathy
    You will need to install the Java Development Kit (I think
    that's the name) and you will need to right-click the Single Source
    Layouts area and choose to add a new layout. When you add a new
    layout, you should see the option for JavaHelp.
    I think it's not there by default because so few folks use
    it. WebHelp is really a better way to go.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Single source for different online help guides

    I am glad that the single source layout pod in RH7 supports
    different channels.
    I also need to output to different online webhelps using
    shared topics. This is what should be called single source.
    Is it the best practice to create a set of taylored and
    overlapping TOCs for a related set of online helps?
    My working environment consists of a single software product
    with different user interfaces for different types (and levels) of
    users. For each type of interface, a different webhelp is mounted.
    How can I make sure that the online help title displayed in
    the web help browser tab is the correct one for each variation of
    the online help?

    Single source is anything that lets you get more than one
    output from one source, be those outputs ten different webhelp
    outputs or just one and a printed document output.
    You can have as many webhelp outputs as you can manage. Right
    click and add new ones or copy existing ones as a base.
    Best practice depends on your content. You can have different
    TOCs for each output or you can have a smaller number and apply
    conditional tags. So with say 10 outputs you could have just three
    or four TOCs and apply conditional tags to vary them. It's whatever
    works best for you and can be understood by anyone you work with.
    The scenario you describe would be ideal for the way RH
    works.
    The title bar and browser tab take their text from the
    Project Title in Project Settings so you will need to change that
    for each output.

  • Mapping is inserting multiple records from a single source to Dimension.

    Hi All,
    I am very new to OWB. Please help me out. I've created Dimension with the help of the wizard and then a mapping which consist of single source and single dimension. The mapping is populating nearly 500 times of the actual records. Following are some details to give you a better understanding of mapping: I created a dimension with four levels and two hierarchy. Levels are L1, L2, L3 and L4 and hierarchies are H1-> L1, L2 and L4
    and H2-> L3 and L4. L4 is lowest level of hierarchy. L1 and L3 are parent levels in the respective hierarchies. I assigned an attribute of each level as Business identifier that means business identifier attribute is different in each level. In mapping I mapped the parent natural key(Key for parent Level in a hierarchy) as the value which has been mapped for parent level. The result is coming 500 times of the record that exist in source table. I've tried even single common business identifier for each level but again the result is 5 times of the records. Please let me know the solution.
    Thanks is advance.
    Amit

    Hi ,
    You may not be having multiple records in your dimension.
    To understand better the records insertion, try a snow flake version of the dimension and see how the records are inserted as per the levels in the respective tables.
    Thanks

  • Single .rar file for multiple data sources

    Can we configure multiple data sources into single .rar file? . Currently,
    we are creating a seperate .rar file to configure each datasource by
    'only' modifing ra.xml file. This is proving to be a tedius operation in
    some cases when the application is integrated with multiple data sources.

    Siva-
    Unfortunately, no. One of the limitations of the resource adapter spec
    is that it doesn't provide a means of specifying multiple separate named
    configurations, so you can only have a single configuration.
    If you need more flexibility, you may want to consider programatically
    building up the PersistenceManagerFactory and then binding them into
    JNDI.

  • Data Extraction from Multiple data sources into a single Infoprovider

    Hi Experts,
    Can anyone send me links or examples on how to extract data from multiple data sources into 1 Cube/DSO.
    Can anyone send me example scenarios for extracting data from 2 data sources into a single Cube/DSO.
    Thanks
    Kumar

    Hi Ashok,
    Check the following link from SAP help. Ths is probably what you are looking for.
    [ Multiple data sources into single infoprovider|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/e3/e60138fede083de10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm]
    Data from multiple data sources which are logically related and technicall have the same key can be combined into single record.
    For example, if you have Sales order item and sales order item status .
    These both have the same key - sales order and item and are logically related.
    The Sales order item - provides information on Sales order item - material , price, quantity, plant etc.
    The item status  - povides information on delivery status, billing status, rejection status....
    These are two different data sources 2LIS_!1_VAITM ad 2LIS_11_VASTI.
    In case you have few master data attributes coming from different systems ie tow data sources in different systems say completely defines your master data. Then you could use a DSO or infoobject to combine the records.
    If you want to see aggregated data you use a cube.
    ie say you want to analyzae the customer revenue on a particular material and a particular project.
    The project details would come from Project syatem and Sales details fom sales flow.
    The data is then combined in the DSO with key cutomer and sales area say.
    Then it is aggregated at cube level...by not using sales order in the cube model...so all sales order of the same customer would add while loading the cube.. to give direct customer spend values for your sales area at aggregated level.
    Hope this helps,
    Best regards,
    Sunmit.

  • Does OBIEE has ability to create a single cube from multiple data sources?

    Hi all,
    Does OBIEE has the ability to create a single cube from multiple sources and does it has the ability to join multiple cubes?
    Looking forward to ur reply.

    Hi
    OBIEE can join multiple data sources to make a single data model, but it's not a cube in the multi-dimensional sense like Essbase or Oracle OLAP.
    To be able to join datasources together they need to have a common dimension or FK relationship depending on what the source is and what you want to do with it.

  • Single source can transmit multiple group in multicast

    single source can transmit multiple group in a multicast domain

    I am not sure how to start explaining this, but I will give it a try to my understanding.
    1)
    Look up the MAC Learning section in this link.
    http://www.ciscopress.com/articles/article.asp?p=101367&rl=1
    2)
    Once you have read through then your question would be if switches deliver traffic based on mac address of the end hosts, how is this mapping achieved for multicast addresses, as they are not assigned to any host.
    in this case the switch will consider the multicast packet as unknown as will broadcast it. To avoid that a simple mechanism of multicast
    IP to mac conversion was introduced which would create these temporary mac's based on the membership report of end hosts
    for a certain group. So when this conversion is done apart from the real host mac address pointing to the port where it is connected,
    multicast mac also points to the same port. Based on which the switch is able to forward the traffic intelligently to a set of hosts
    who want that group received.
    3)
    Now see this link which explains how Mcast IP to MAC convesion is done.
    IP to MAC Conversion
    http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/cisintwk/ito_doc/ipmulti.htm#wp1020628
    To summarize this, since only 23 bits are available for converting the IP to MAC, the 24th bit is lost .
    which in terms of binary to decimal means you have lost 128 from the decimal. so it loops from the start of the multicast range of 224-239 at every 128 bits.
    if the starting decimal was 224.1.1.1(if the received membership report was for 224.1.1.1) then next would be 224.129.1.1, 225.1.1.1 , 225.129.1.1 and so on till 239.......
    hence when it loops through all the 224 - 239 addres range and it catches up 32 mapped addresses.
    Now to conclude,
    "32 IP multicast addresses corresponding to each MAC " In here the MAC referenced is not the host mac but the converted MAC.
    Even though the conversion is done, because of the available bits the MAC address hence created overlaps 32 multicast IP
    addresses. (closest resemblence would be the ACL example with the mask assigned. based on this mask and the starting value
    it will keep catching values based on the mask. )
    You can try this practically. Assume you have a host and it sends a membership report for 225.10.10.10. Now the switch has to convert this to Mcast MAC.
    To do this yourself, write down the binary of this address, and look at the rightmost 23 bits (that is from the left ignore the first 9 binary values.) now if you look at the remaining binary values, these will map and look alike for 226.10.10.10 226.139.10.10 and so on. And hence if you run through from 224-239 you will get 32 adresses.

    Swaroop
