Problems working with files on network - RH9

I store my RH WebHelp source files on our company network. I follow Peter Grainge’s excellent advice on merged help by generating and publishing merged help to my local drives but I also publish to a second network location to make the help available generally. This worked fine till recently but lately severe performance problems have arisen. RoboHelp takes a long time to start up and even longer to open a selected project. Publication to a network location is so slow it’s no longer feasible. The tardy response to editing commands makes RoboHelp effectively unusable.
I’ve tried some fixes including those mentioned here on the forum. I installed the latest RH updates. Stopping non-windows services had no effect. I considered reinstalling in XP Mode but I’d prefer to avoid this option. Some Windows 7 tips I applied to improve network performance did no good. I drew a blank with our own company IT experts.
The only change to my local environment or to the network environment I’m aware of is that I took a Windows 7 recommended upgrade just before the problems set in.
I’ve had to resort to moving my source files to my local machine. This is not ideal from an information security point of view and in any case, publication to a network location from within RoboHelp is still not practical. I use RH 9 (version 9.02.271) on Windows 7 (SP 1), both updated in the past few days. I use a Lenovo W520 laptop: 2.7 GHz, 8 GB Ram, 64 bit OS.
I’d appreciate any suggestions which would allow me to open and edit projects directly from the network.

Colum, while RoboHelp 10 has "improved" upon network usage, I'm not sure it's recommended. Heck, I'm not sure I'd even claim it's safe!
Cheers... Rick

  • Problems working with files on Win2k SP4 server

    I installed 10.5 to test it before rolling it out to our designers. As part of my normal routine, I organized DVD sized folders of job files to copy from the server and burn of to disc for archiving. I am connected to the server via SMB. In this process I had a few observations:
    1. A directory that the Finder registered as 4.21GB on the server copied to the desktop as 5.45GB. Apparently the finder isn't updating the directory sizes automatically.
    2. When trying to move a group of folders I received a permissions error, but I could move them individually without incident.
    3. The empty folder I had moved the files from still showed 30ish K of data in the finder though there were no visible files present. Most likely the usual hidden files, but not being handled properly by the finder.

    Can a Sprint Iphone 5 work with T-mobile network? How can one unlock with the MSL code? Sprint is not abiding by the Unlocking Consumer Choice and Wireless Competition Act.  FCC will only enforce if we file more complains.

    T-Mobile is a GSM network whereas Sprint is a CDMA network. They are incompatible. Sprint is not obliged to unlock a phone that is still under contract. Their phones may not be capable of being unlocked.

  • Cannot print "working with files and folders htm

    When I try to print "Working with files-and-folders" from a Google search, it only prints part of it. I have changed my destination folder to no avail. Thank you or any help, Jack Menendez

    What's the best method for moving all my nonsystem related stuff over to this new driveIan has provided you with the best solution, SuperDuper.
    But if you have a 250 GB external, you really ought to clone your entire system,(only about 3 GB) so you have a backup.
    I keep mine with a complete clone of my internal, that way it is easy to boot from the external and run utilities like Disk Utility, TechToolPro, DiskWarrior, etc. on the internal and vice versa.
    If you run into a problem with say Preferences and don't know which one is the troublemaker, just trash the whole pref folder and use the good one from the clone. Font problem, same deal. And, if diaster ever strikes, you can just boot up from your external and keep right on working - fix the internal when you have time.
    That's my 2 cents anyway

    What is the best way to get a time capsule to work with a new network name?

    Well it seems that you did not explain to us the full story.  Did you change ISP's or something? Why would it not show up anymore?
    What colour is the light on the time-capsule? If it's blinking amber, then you probably need to do a factory-reset. That should get it to show up again in AirPort Utility.

    Also, use the FM that MAX has if you have to work with files on application server by replacing code in the above logic at appropriate places, like replace
    cl_gui_frontend_services=>directory_list_files
    with the corresponding fm
    and replace cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload
    with OPEN DATASET...
         CLOSE DATASET...
    logic.
    Hope this helps..

  • How to work with file system in linux within a JSF app?

    I use this line in my backing bean to log some events:
    FileHandler fhxml = new FileHandler("../webapps/MyWebApp/Log/MyWebAppLog.xml", append);
    fhxml.setFormatter(new XMLFormatter());That works fine in windows but when I deploy it in my Tomcat 6 in linux It doesn't work. How can I work with file system in linux?

    You should never use relative paths to access the filesystem. The path would be relative to the current working directory which is not per se the same in all environments. To convert a relative web path to an absolute file system path, you need ServletContext#getRealPath(). Use this absolute file system path in the java.io stuff. In a JSF application on top of Servlet API you can get the underlying ServletContext by ExternalContext#getContext().
    Alternatively, if the file is located in one of the default paths of the classpath or if its path is added to the classpath, you can also just use ExternalContext#getResource() or even #getResourceAsStream() using just the file name.

    If it is locked, yes you will have to unlock it to use with a Moroccan

  • ASP application has problems working with oracle database 8.1.7

    ASP application has problems working with oracle database 8.1.7 through both oracle ODBC driver and Microsoft ODBC driver
    We have an ASP application running on Windows 2000 server, and with 8.1.7 Net8Client and MDAC 2.6 SP1.
    The application worked fine with an Oracle 8.0.5 database.
    After upgrading oracle database to 8.1.7.0.0, our ASP application works fine except when updating the same data record more than once. The application is not saving our updates.
    We tested our application using Oracles ODBC driver v8.1.7.5.0
    and experienced more problems. We had problems just bring up our data entry pages. In either case, we are returned with some 505 errors in our browser, problems with the ASP pages and IIS, the page is not displaying.
    If anyone has some suggestions on how to fix my problem, please advise. Thanks in advance.

    thanks...i saw one article with this approach..but the document did not present the detailed process...do you have one? i am still searching for a good procedure to follow...since it is an old database and focusing/studying old versions like this is a pain in the a**... :(

  • Will the current plugins for Sigma DP1/2 RAW files work with files from the DP1/2 Merrill cameras? A

    Will the current plugins for Sigma DP1/2 RAW files work with files from the DP1/2 Merrill cameras? And if not, is Adobe developing plugins for these cameras?

    Not sure what plugins you mean, Hornet - Lr doesn't rely on plugins to read new cameras.
    If you mean the Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) plugin - that's for Photoshop, not Lightroom. Lr has the same functionality as ACR, but it's hard-coded into the program, so if you're looking for support for a new camera, you need to wait for a new version of Lr.
    And nobody here can say when Lr support for a given camera will happen.
    Hopefully someone with a Merrill will be able to chime in about whether its files work with the current Lr.

    I'm guessing that you are just pressing the eject button on the drive.  Don't do that.
    Quit the application that you are using to work with the files.  Then open Windows Explorer, right-click the CD/DVD drive and click on 'Eject'.
