Oracle Help Guide

Hi. I've been working on loading an OHW file onto the web through JDeveloper. I think this is possible from what I have read on the forums. They all say to consult the Oracle Help Guide. Whenever I go to look at the Oracle Help Guide, I am not able to access it. It says the page can not be displayed. I'm wondering if anyone here has a copy of the Oracle Help Guide that I can see or has any ideas about how to use JDeveloper to implement OHW files. Thanks.

How to use Oracle Help in developer 10g

Hi!
First i'm sorry for my bad english
I'm a student in computer science and i have a projet to make with Developer 10g. My teacher want us to make a Help file for the user but he don't know how to do it with developer 10g.
So i've made some research on internet and i found how to create my help file. I have downloaded Oracle Help and RoboHelp.
Using RoboHelp i've create my help file and then i generate it in Oracle Help format. I generate it in a compressed and a uncompressed version(because didn't know which one i need). So now i have two folder one who containt a .jar file and another who containt a lot of files.
What i want to know is how to execute my Oracle Help in a WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger with theses files.
Thank and sorry for my bad english

Hi Pierre,
Showing an appropriate help topic when a "Help" button is pressed in an application or when the user presses the F1 key is what we call "context-sensitive help".
In your Oracle Help help system there is an XML map file that contains topic-ids that map to help topics. You need to associate these topic-ids with your user interface (help button, etc).
Is your project an extension to JDeveloper 10g, or are you just creating a Java application using JDeveloper? If you are just using JDeveloper to create your own Java application, then you can use the CSHManager class distributed with Oracle Help for Java to enable context-sensitive help (see the Oracle Help Guide documentation). If you are creating an extension to JDeveloper, then let me know and I'll give you information on how to set up help in that context.

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."

Instructions needed for importing a RoboHelp - Oracle Help file

Please provide instructions for importing a RoboHelp, Oracle Help file into an Oracle 8 software application.
Thank you,
Jennifer Byrne

The Oracle Help Guide documents how to program applications to support Oracle Help. Have you looked at it? The Guide is included with the downloads of Oracle Help for Java (OHJ) and Oracle Help for the Web (OHW) and you can also find it directly on OTN at http://otn.oracle.com/docs/tech/java/help/content.html.
But I'm not sure I understand your question completely. What do you mean by "import" the help into the application? I assume you are referring to programming the application to integrate the help into it; hence my suggestion to refer to the Oracle Help Guide, above. But perhaps I'm missing something. Also, what kind of application do you have? Is it a Java application?

Repainting problems of the Menu items in Oracle Help Navigator

All,
I am facing a strange problem when using Oracle Help for my application which is developed in Java,Swings.
Whenever, I open Help for any component through my application, the menu items in the Help screen are not visible. They are not getting repainted. Only when user drags the mouse over the items, they are getting repainted and visible to the user. This has been raised as a bug by our testing people. I couldn't get any help in aspects of any errors/exceptions being logged when the action takes place.
Where can I have the log files for Help window?
Can anyone help me and guide me to the right solution in this regards.
My environ is like this:
Windows NT, JRE1.4, Oracle Help - ohj-jewt-4_1_16.jar,
Thanks in advance for all.
regards,
Kishore.

iweb2 navbar is rendered by javascript widget, therefore you can change navbar font style with javascript; this is an efficient way to change navbar font style.
Copy and paste the following into your pages using HTML Snippet:
<script type = 'text/javascript'>
function changeNavbar() {
navCSS = parent.document.getElementById('widget0-navbar');
navCSS.style.fontSize = '0.75em'; // font size, change to less than 1em to change font smaller;
navCSSbg = parent.document.getElementById('widget0-bg');
navCSSbg.style.textAlign = 'center'; // navbar list alignment;
clearInterval(chkNavbar);
chkNavbar = setInterval('changeNavbar()', 500);
note: You won't see the changes in iweb, but you will see the change when view the pages online - after publishing.

Errors in 1z0-051 and 1z0-061 Official Oracle exam guides

What can we do about errors in the official Oracle exam guides.
I am doing the 1z0-061 (Oracle Database 12c: SQL Fundamentals).
The 051 and 061 exams are exactly the same.
051 is written by John Watson and Roopesh Ramklass and the 061 is written by Ramklass, but the thing is, both books have the same content word for word.
I found these errors in the books:
(1.) In chapter 08 (Using subqueries to solve problems) in both books it says "A subquery can be used to select rows for insertion but not in a VALUES clause of an INSERT statement".
But this is wrong. You CAN use a subquery in a VALUES clause: This will work ->
INSERT INTO values_test (f1) VALUES ((SELECT SYSDATE FROM DUAL));
However you have to have the 2 brackets in red.
(2.)
Chapter 2: Self test question 9
The following character literal expression is selected from the DUAL table: SELECT 'Coda""s favorite fetch toy is his orange ring' FROM DUAL; (Choose the result that is returned.)
A. An error would be returned due to the presence of two adjacent quotes
B. Coda's favorite fetch toy is his orange ring
C. Coda""s favorite fetch toy is his orange ring
D. Coda""s favorite fetch toy is his orange ring'
The books says the correct answer is B. But this is wrong.
Correct answer is C, since the "" are 2 double quotes and they will appear as it is.
Even if "", is actually 4 single quotes the output then will be Coda''s favorite fetch toy is his orange ring
which has 2 single quotes.
I wrote to the author (emai [email protected]) but got no reply.
How can we let Oracle certification know that there are errors in these books. This can affect the exam and can mean the difference between passing and failing.

>The book cover says "Oracle Press", meaning Official Oracle.
No -- the name does not mean that. 'Oracle Press' is a division of the McGraw-Hill publishing company that specializes in writing books for the Oracle suite of products. Oracle has close ties with the publisher and often supplies information to the authors that is not publicly available. However, Oracle is not responsible for the content of the books.
>If not, then what ARE the Official Oracle guides?
The only thing that you could call an 'Official' Oracle guide would be student guides developed by Oracle University for one of their courses. This content is supplied to attendees of the courses. The material is copyrighted and should not be available on the Web.

I want to change my primary e-mail address that I use with Apple ID - help guide says Select Edit next to "Apple ID and Primary Email Address." But there is no 'edit' on that section there is on every other but not that one. Can anyone help?

You can create an alias @icloud.com email address within your current account that will receive email in your current iCloud inbox (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a). (@me.com addresses are no longer available as new addresses.) Just be aware that you cannot use an alias address later to create a new iCloud account or move it to a different account.
Also, even if you created a new iCloud account with a new ID, your existing purchases would not be lost. They are permanently tied to the original ID you used to purchase them. You can also continue to use the existing ID for the iTunes store; it does not need to be the same as the ID you use for iCloud.

Java error in Oracle Help Demo

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!!

Oracle Help search feature doesn't work with RoboHelp generated output

I am using RoboHelp HTML, Version 10 on Windows 7. I am able to generate Oracle Help output and integrate it with my Java application. When I do this, the Content and Index tabs work fine, but the Search feature does not. Regardless of what search term I try, I get no search results. In generating the Oracle Help output, I used the default options throughout.
Any suggestions as to what is causing this problem?
Thanks.

Dear Peter,
I met the following problem, and please help me.
My English (not Chinese) operating system: Windows XP
Version: 2002
Before using RoboHelp 7 to generate Webhelp, I perform the
following steps:
1. Control Panel->Regional Options
2. On the "Languages" page make sure make sure you check the
box "Install files for East Asian languages".
3. On the "Advanced" page select "Chinese" from the language
dropdown list.
Then I perform the following steps:
1. Use RoboHelp 7 to generate Webhelp (my Webhelp project
contains localized Chinese files).
2. In the "Search" tab, input a Chinese character(For example
"连接") and perform a seach.
Result: Serching...(or 正在搜索) or
No topics found (or
未找到主题)。
Expected result: I can get the result.

Oracle Help in RH8, not working as it did before

We're building Oracle Help in Robohelp & recently
upgraded to RH8. When I delivered the files to our dev team, the
files won't work. This is what our dev person wrote to me:
When I try to load the Oracle Help I get the following error
message:
oracle.help.library.helpset.HelpSetParseException: Unknown
error when parsing hs file: No toplevel tag in helpset file
I looked at the helpset file and didn’t see anything
different except the first line was changed
from: <?xml version='1.0' ?>
to: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>
I have no idea what this means or what I'm supposed to do.
Obviously something changed in RH8 that affects the build but I
have no idea what our dev team is supposed to do to make it work.
Any suggestions?
Thanks! Cindy

when you generated the Oracle Help from RH8, were you able to
view the help on your system. I tried generating Oracle Help on my
RH8 Machine and was able to view the Oracle Help, with out any
error.
you need to specify the encoding type to utf-8 while calling
the java compiler command.
-Dfile.encoding=UTF8
you can check the command line used by RH8, I am pasting the
command sent by RH8 to open the oracle help in correct encoding
type. you can forward the command line to your developer.
java -Dfile.encoding=UTF8 -classpath
C:\PROGRA~1\ohelp\help-4_2-ehelp-integration.jar;C:\PROGRA~1\ohelp\help4-demo.jar;C:\PROG RA~1\ohelp\help4-indexer.jar;C:\PROGRA~1\ohelp\help4-nls.jar;C:\PROGRA~1\ohelp\help4-rsrc. zip;C:\PROGRA~1\ohelp\help4-viewer.jar;C:\PROGRA~1\ohelp\help4.jar;C:\PROGRA~1\ohelp\ohj-j ewt.jar;C:\PROGRA~1\ohelp\oracle_ice.jar;C:\PROGRA~1\Adobe\ADOBER~1\RoboHTML\ORACLE~1\bssc ohrs.jar;

Please share me the latest Oracle Help files (ora.hlp, sql.hlp, plsql.hlp)

Dear my good friends,
Would you kindly share the latest Oracle Help files of Oracle 10g version or show me the url address (http://...) to download those Help files.
Some help files of Oracle such as: ora.hlp, sql.hlp, plsql.hlp, etc.
Thank you very much for your help.
Best Regards,

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
