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

Authoring Oracle Helpf for the Web

Hi,
I've been tasked with creating the help file for the portal we are deploying. I've followed the steps outlined in the Oracle Help Guide and now have the following files:
cna.hs
cna_toc.xml
cnamap.xml
public_home.html
site_map.html
I don't quite understand what I am supposed to do next. If anybody can give me a hand I would appreciate it.

It looks like you've got a helpset file, a table of contents file, a map file, and some HTML content. That should give you a small, but functional helpset. Have you tried configuring OHW to display your helpset? What are your specific questions?

Need help for the web based project

I am using netbeans 5.5 and Sql server for db.What is the full form for DAO and how is it going to help me in my project.U also talk about uml want ot know about it.
and how is it coming to help me.Its a very wast topic i serached.what will be helpful to me of the UML.
What should i start first --- jsp or db design.
What should i use for web based project --- only use jsp(presentation)+dao or jsp+servlet+dao.What would be best ?
provide some nice link based on dynamic fetching of values from the database and showing it at runtime.

As stated in http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5167752 start reading the Java EE tutorial to get insights in the material.
what will be helpful to me of the UML.UML generally visualizes the core functionality. See http://www.google.com/search?q=uml+tutorial for some tuts.
What should i start first --- jsp or db design.Start with both and end with the best balance between both.
What should i use for web based project --- only use
jsp(presentation)+dao or jsp+servlet+dao.Depends on the business needs. Generally 3-tier webapplications are the best: web, business and data.
provide some nice link based on dynamic fetching of values from the
database and showing it at runtime.Check some SQL and JDBC tutorials how to fetch and process the data:
http://www.google.com/search?q=sql+tutorial
http://www.google.com/search?q=jdbc+tutorial
How to process it in the business and web layer is stated in the Java EE tutorial I've linked in your former topic.

D2000 Reports for the web PDF and FDF

Has Oracle considered tighter integration of Adobe FDF (Forms
Data Format) and Oracle Reports for the web?
null

Hi
I think Portal applications are much more simple to build and lighter than developer apps, but Portal fits better to "simple" apps, without many business rules, complex validation/navigation etc. If the app you need to build has such characteristics, maybe you must use developer.
lc
Hello,
I am thinking of creating an extranet and was going to use Portal - but coming from a forms/reports background I am thinking of looking at 9i forms/reports. Are they still thick clients as when I played around with web-deployed forms before they seemed pretty slow. Would I be better off writing it in Portal ?

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.

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!!

Exporting Clipped images for the Web... CONFUSED! ? Help ..? AI CS3

Hi folks,
I don't use Illustrator as much as I'd like, since my workflow is mostly on
the web, but I'm finding it nearly impossible to export images I receive
from print designers for web use. Many of these images are EPS or AI.
They are clipped images, which is great, BUT when I try to Save for the Web,
the error comes back that they are too large for the web and may crash AI.
OR if I export to PNG or PSD, the files lose their transparency and I have
to extract them manually from the white backgrounds, which defeats the whole
purpose. I have tried opening in Fireworks and Photoshop with the same
result. I've changed the originals from CMYK to RGB, but it doesn't help.
Plus the images export with a huge crop area instead of just the image
itself.
I'd really like to be able to use AI, but I'm finding this situation
unworkable. I am sure I'm missing something simple , but I'd appreciate any
help greatly!
Thanks
Jeff

Thanks for your help Jean et al.
I only use Illustrator occasionally and when I have to. Not because I don't
like the idea, but I'm almost completely web oriented and I find its layout
is not as instinctive and smooth as Fireworks, and I use Photoshop for
original layered images. The problem comes when I get a file from a printer
who uses Quark and knows nothing about web prep and exporting for other
uses. He couldn't export a layered file for some reason even though he had
the backgrounds layered for print work.
You are right, I've opened the tiff and eps docs from the printer before and
played with them in AI, and saved them to ai native formats. I *thought* the
eps files were created in ai by the printer, because they had the clipping
paths and artboards. Obviously they were not. They had just opened with the
default 14400 artboard which is why I thought they had been "set." So when I
set the new 30x30 custom, I started seeing these files with a new
artboard...
So, in sum, I first tried to use these files in Photoshop, but they open
as flat files and the clipping paths are lost. Only by experimenting with
ai, did I find the files had clipping paths. I guess what threw me was that
ai could extract clipping paths from eps that Photoshop could not.

Oracle Strategy for the UIX & BC4J in the new JDeveloper version

What is Oracle Strategy for the UIX & BC4J in the new JDeveloper version:
- Like DataBinding
- BC4J Integration
- UIX controller
- Internationalization
- Supporting for Palm,phone and pager.

Hi,
Are these questions all BC4J specific?
General databinding info is discussed here:
What's the developement direction of UIX?
For BC4J/UIX integration, in 9.0.5 we will continue to support our existing api's, but you can also use uix as the view and bc4j as the model in adf, which is described here:
http://otn.oracle.com/products/jdev/htdocs/905/sod_otn.html#adf
Aside from bug fixes, I don't think there are major changes in the controller/internationization. Did you have specific questions about the controller and internationalization?
We are planning to support Palm web browser 2.0, but due to the timing of the release of a platform that supports it and our own schedules, I don't think it will be officially supported in the 9.0.5 release. We won't have phone or pager support in 9.0.5.

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."

There is already a transaction for the systems of this product version(MOPZ)

Hello All,
I am trying to configure maintenance optimizer in Solution Manager 7.0
on Windows 2003 server and SQL 2005 server.
I am configuring this for SAP CRM 2007 server.
Created the server, database and system in SMSY
Created Logical Component in TA code SMSY
SM59 connection for SAP-OSS is OK.
S-User is assigned to a User.
Created a solution using TA code solution_manager.
Defined the product version for the solution created in the TA code
solution_manager.
When creating a Maintenance Optimizer transaction, I select the
product version and its logical component in the Plan Maintenance
(Phase) and click on Continue to go to Select Files Phase, I get below
warning:
Information Procedure 8000000130 Saved
Warning: Status was reset by system

I cannot get pass this phase.
I have deleted and recreated the solution, carried out the same
activity again but its giving the same Warning
Warning: Status was reset by system
Warning: There is already a transaction for the systems of this

Hello Ragu,
Thanks for your response.
As of now, we do not have ChaRM in place. Secondly, we use a single customer number.
I would like to let you know that in our landscape we have two CRM server, one ECC sever, one SOLMAN7.0 server.
I tried to configure MOPZ for CRM, ECC, SOLMAN server to download the respective STACKS.
I was successful in configuring CRM and SOLMAN.
But when I tried to configure in ECC, it failed due to RFC erros.
So I deleted the transaction for the ECC system and deleted the system itself in Solution Manager.
Reconfigured the Systems in "SMSY", RFC connections are correctly defined to configure MOPZ between SOLMAN7.0 and ECC6.0.
When I start configuring the MOPZ, I cannot get pass the first phase and this is when I get an error: There is already a transaction for the systems of this product version.
Please let me know if you need further information.
Regards,
Satish.

HD video compressed for the web

I was doing some testing trying to figure out the best way to compress the HD video I get from the Sony XDCAM HD for the web (streaming). I shoot in HD (1080/30P) because it's needed for our videos. The web streaming is secondary.
I would prefer to make the web videos .flv because it works best and most easily cross-platform. In the real world, the majority of users have Windows PCs, which made me hesitant to use h.264 (.m4v) because it probably would require the average user to download things they may not wan to. Nonetheless, it has to be viewable on all computers in all browers.
So, I took three 10 second clips of steady camera video with audio from the camera that I used in all tests. I will refer to them by clip number...
Clip 1: 30P 16:9 High quality, 10sec=45mb
Clip 2: 30P 16:9 Low Quality, 10sec=24mb
Clip 3: 60i 16:9 High Quality, 10sec=45mb
First I tested making FLV is Adobe CS3 Encoder using the High Quality (700) setting.
Test 1 used size 848x480 (16:9)
Clip 1: 1.3mb
Clip 2: 1.1mb
Clip 3: 1.2mb
Comments: Looked very crisp, audio was clean, slightly darker image than original on default settings
Test 2 used size 480x270 (16:9)
Clip 1: 1.2mb
Clip 2: 1.1mb
Clip 3: 1.1mb
Comments: Looked very crisp, audio was clean, slightly darker image than original on default settings
Next, I tested making .m4v using the h.264 iPod settings in Compressor.
Test 1 used size 640x370.
Clip 1: 240kb
Clip 2: 1440kb
Clip 3: 204kb
Comments: Image wasn't quite as clean as the Flash files, but still good. Much lighter/brighter than the Flash files also. Low Quality HD video had high file size... why? I don't know, but I don't shoot on LQ for things anyway.
Test 2 used size 320x180.
Clip 1: 160kb
Clip 2: 865kb
Clip 3: 865kb
Comments: Image wasn't quite as clean as the Flash files, but still good. Much lighter/brighter than the Flash files also. Low Quality HD video had high file size... also the 60i file...why? I don't know.
In conclusion, I'm lucky that I shoot 30P since it worked well in all areas. The h264 codec provides a much smaller file size than Flash, with a good image. Amazing considering we started with a 45MB clip. What are the standards for aspect ratios for putting 16:9 video on the web? I haven't heard much set in stone like you have for 4:3 video. Nonetheless, the 640x360 or 480x270 seem to be a nice size for most uses.
I have heard that in Flash 9 you can chance the m4v extension to flv and it will work. IF that is true, that would be great because now my concern is that a base Windows PC cannot play these .m4v images without plugins/codecs. I suppose right now its a tradeoff between smaller file size/less compatibility with h264 or larger file size, great compatibility with Flash.
Any comments or suggestions to help out would be great. I typed this fast so forgive me if I left out any important info.

Hi APPLE27:
One comment from your post that immediately caught my attention was this, "Nonetheless, it has to be viewable on all computers in all browsers."
Unfortunately, it is unrealistic to expect one digital video file to be viewable on "all computers in all browsers" as there are simply too may variations in both hardware and software.
A common approach when offering digital video is to provide two formats to choose from and then within each of those two formats a few versions of the video for different bandwidths.
For example, a web site might offer Video for Windows and QuickTime. For each of these, there would be a low bandwidth Video for Windows file and QuickTime file and a high bandwidth Video for Windows file and QuickTime file (four files total). Of course, there's also Flash Video, Real Video, MPEG1, and so on.
For better or worse, YouTube.com has allowed video content creators the realistic expectation of creating a digital video file that is viewable on "most computers". But, the video is unavoidably tied to that web site.
When it comes to online distribution of video, it's still very open ended.
Also, computers are not all that's out there. Mobile devices are a huge market and you'd be hard pressed to create a single digital video file that will play on all mobile devices (iPhone, iPod Touch, Palm Treo, Sony PSP, etc.) either from local storage or from a mobile browser.
QuickTime offers a solution for creating a referencing movie - one file that links to other digital video files, but it too is imperfect at best when it comes to reaching the broadest audience possible.
With my few comments here, I'm just scratching the surface. But, it all starts where you are right now: caring about the image quality when exporting from your edited master.

Exporting FCP 16:9 to QT for the web in 16:9?

Hello everyone,
I recently began doing my projects in 16:9 mode. I shoot them with my GL2's in 16:9, then capture to FCP as usual. FCP then automatically recognizes the 16:9 footage and adjusts everything perfectly for me. I figured out how to get the footage to DVDSP by 'forcing letterbox'. This plays the true 16:9 footage on a widescreen TV perfectly.
Now, I've come to another bridge that I can't seem to cross... that is... exporting the video to QT for the web in 16:9. I did a lot of searching here and all of the topics related to this did not help me at all. So, what I'm going to do is explain what I used to do when I shot in 4:3 mode:
1. In FCP... File>Export>QT Conversion
2. Format: QT Movie> Options
3. Settings> Sorenson Video 3
4. Frame Rate>15
5. Key Frames: Every 150 frames
6. Compressor> Medium
7. Data Rate: Automatic
8. OK
9. Sound>Settings>Mpeg-4 Audio, 16bit, Stereo
10. OK
11. Prepare for Internet Streaming> Fast Start
12. OK
13. SAVE
This usually turns a full sized 5 minute clip into a nice little presentation for the web no larger than 35 or so MB's. You can see a boat load of files like that on my website at (www.buerhausdesign.com).
Now, what I want to do is get a similar sized video for the web, only in 16:9 as I'm now shooting and editing in 16:9.
Does anyone have step-by-step instructions on how to do this? I know it's possible as I see movie trailors in 16:9 all the time in QT.
Any help would be appreciated:)
Matt

Nope, tried all of that. It stretches the image way beyond 16:9. Currently, if I export as a 4:3 file, the widescreen displays correctly, but I get two black bars at the top and bottom of the frame. Manually sizing to a 16:9 size, to say 720x404, stretches everything... including the unwanted black bars.
When I export to DVDSP, the black bars go away when I 'force letterbox'. There's gotta be a way to get it to work in QT.

Saving JPG to PNG using Save for the Web

Morning
I came across Paul Riggott's script for saving PSD to PNG which I changed to JPG to PSD.
The only problem with this is that the file size in most cases is larger than the original.
Is there a way to do a save as for the web as well?
Here is the original code:
#target photoshop
var imageFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Select top folder to process");
var folderList=[];
if (imageFolder != null) {
processFolder(imageFolder);
folderList.unshift(imageFolder);
createPNGfromJPG(folderList);
function createPNGfromJPG(folderList){
for(var a in folderList){
var fileList = folderList[a].getFiles ("*.jpg");
   for (var z in fileList){
    var file = fileList[z];
    open(file);
    var Name = fileList[z].name.replace(/\.[^\.]+$/, '');
    var saveFile = File(decodeURI(fileList[z].path+"/"+Name+".png"));
    SavePNG(saveFile);
    app.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
function processFolder(folder) {
    var fileList = folder.getFiles()
     for (var i = 0; i < fileList.length; i++) {
        var file = fileList[i];
if (file instanceof Folder) {
folderList.push(file);
       processFolder(file);
function SavePNG(saveFile){
    pngSaveOptions = new PNGSaveOptions();
    pngSaveOptions.embedColorProfile = true;
    pngSaveOptions.formatOptions = FormatOptions.STANDARDBASELINE;
    pngSaveOptions.matte = MatteType.NONE;
    pngSaveOptions.quality = 1;
pngSaveOptions.PNG8 = false;
    pngSaveOptions.transparency = true;
activeDocument.saveAs(saveFile, pngSaveOptions, true, Extension.LOWERCASE);
Any help or support to head me in the right direction would be appreciated.

Advice on saving DVD video and re-sizing for the web

Hello...
I'm looking into purchasing a copy of Adobe Premiere - but I need advice on which version I need - and if it can do what I'm after.
I want to transfer my own video work from DVDs and save them as MPEG4 files. I then want to upload them on to my website. They'll be about 10 minutes each each DVD will have several videos on them.
Is Adobe Premiere able to do this...? If so which version would suit me best? It's simply to do the above with no editing, just re-sizing for the web and saving as an MPEG4 file.
Thank you for your help and time in advance.
philip

For web video creation, I use a program called V2F. It creates Flash rather than mp4, but if you're not stuck on that format, the files are very good quality.

Should I deinterlase my movie before compressing to a h264 file for the web

Hi I have a movie in fcp that I want to compress for the web. I am going to compress it to a h264 file using quicktime. I was wondering if I should deinterlace the movie before compressing it
thanks sam

I have done it both ways and on computer monitors at least its always been my experience that DEINTERLACING the video looks better. Quite a bit better.
Now there are 2 main ways to do it. And I've gotten similar results both ways. You can deinterlace from within Final Cut Pro which works fine or you can set Compressor to Deinterlace. Now I've read articles on why one is better than the next, but at least with Final Cut Pro 5.1.4 in the videos I've worked on I can't tell the difference. It looks good both ways.
Hope that helps-
