Project Not Checking out From Version Control

All of our help projects are managed using version control
(Team Foundation Server).
I recently had an XPJ file that became corrupted. As per
Adobe's instructions, I deleted the XPJ and CPD files and
regenerated the project from the HHP file. That worked fine, but
now launching the project from the XPJ file opens the project
outside of version control. (I'm no longer being prompted to check
the files out.) I think this is because the newly created XPJ file
now disassociated with the source control. If this is true, how do
I get the XPJ file back into source control?
Hopefully this makes sense.

Hi Christina,
My understanding of the entire "version control" process is
limited but since no one else has thrown in, I will try to pass
along what little I know. What I have learned is that version
control works great until it doesn't.
What I've had to do in the past, when I've had these sort of
synchronization problems, is to remove the entire project from
version control (I would be sure to back up your local project as
well as your version-controlled project). Then, you should be able
to add the repaired project back to your source control software
(we use MS VSS but I think it shouldn't matter).
I have tried, in the past, to add individual files to the
database from the RH interface (you could try "check in all files")
and I have gone into the database and manually added the necessary
files, but I have had mixed results. In the end, it seems that
removing the project from version control, then adding it back, is
the only thing that is guaranteed to work.
Good luck!

XPJ checked out of source control, other authors get error

Hi all,
We have three people on my team who update help topics. We
use RH 7 and Microsoft Visual Source Safe with auto
check-in/check-out. When one of us is in the help project and one
of the other two also enters the helps project, the second person
gets an error message saying "The files in the list below could not
be checked out from version control. Exclusive access to these
files is required to execute the selected action," and our xpj file
for the project is listed. The second person closes the dialog box
and proceeds to work. We know that when the first person enters the
help project, the XPJ file is checked out, but we're worried that
this error means something is wrong. Isn't the whole point of using
source control so that multiple people can work in the same
project? We don't understand why we're getting these error
messages. Nothing seems to have gone haywire with this, except that
we are having problems with conditional build tags getting out of
sync between our systems. We don't know if our tag problem is due
to the XPJ check-out issue. Are we not supposed to be have our XPJ
file in source control? Would this cause the tag problem?
I'm going to post a separate message about the tag problem.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Lisa

Hi Collum and Dhiren: Thank you for your assistance so far.
Update: Not all of our help projects' XPJ files get checked
out -- only this one project. Also, it appears that the problem
with our tags not sync'ing is related to the XPJ being checked out
by the first person to launch the project.
Specifics:
We actually have three help projects, one of which we all
work in regularly (hereafter called "Project Bad"), and two others
that only one or the other us works in regularly. I noticed that
the other help project I work in does NOT check out the XPJ file
when I open it (hereafter called "Project Good."). With Project
Good, I never get a message saying that it's checking the XPJ file
back in, and the VSS never shows that the XPJ file is checked out
when one of us is in it, although VSS always shows the correct
modified date when it was last modified. This a.m., I had one of my
co-authors test Project Good with me. We both opened it, created
new conditional build tags, applied tags to text, check things in
and out and in again, and not once did either of us get a message
about the XPJ file being checked out, nor did we have any problems
with our conditional build tags. Everything updated beautifully,
and yet, the topics are checking out correctly. Also, we don't have
"allow multiple check-out" selected for Project Good.
So, now I wonder if the settings are different between the
two projects, but I looked at the Properties for both projects and
XPJ files, and I see no differences between them.
One thing that does come to mind: Regularly, one of us gets a
VSS error message when working in Project Bad. I don't usually get
it, but the others do. I didn't realize how common it was until one
of the authors just told me. The message reads: "SourceSafe has
detected that a previous operation against the 'XYZ' database was
unexpectedly terminated. To remove from the failure, please ask
your SourceSafe Administrator to run the Analyze Utility." Might
this have something to do with the problem? This message is
referencing our entire database where all three help projects
reside, though, and the problem is only with one of the help
projects, so I'm not sure this is part of the problem. I will try
running the Analyze Utility today just in case, but I tried to do
it months ago and it failed. I gave up and didn't try again.
Does anyone have any ideas about this problem based on these
latest developments? I welcome any and all input.
Thanks,
Lisa

How do I fix project after "Remove From Version Control" corrupted it?

I am using RoboHelp 9.0.1 and installed both Tortoise SVN 1.6.9 and latest PushOK SVNSCC then added my large RoboHelp project to SVN. I was able to check in and out files from SVN but had several issues with it:
1) Super super slow. Working with folders or any renames would take 10 seconds per file and up to 1 hour if needed to refresh the root folder.
2) I could not perform some actions at all, such as delete, rename, or move folders. I kept getting COM errors.
I therefore decided that working with SVN and RoboHelp is not practical, at least not on my VPN so I decided to disconnect the project from source control and just work locally. The only option that I saw that sounded like it would do that was the "Remove from Version Control". This started a process that lasted for several hours. At the end of it, I now have several significant issues:
1) The order of the files and folders in my Project Manager is completely wrong now. I have almost 1000 topics and reordering all of them is not possible.
2) The Table of Contents, Glossary, and Index files appear empty. They had content before.
2) A couple of the Single Source Layouts I had created are completely missing.
3) Many, but not all, of the folders have tons of files with the extension ending in "_temp_removed_by_svn"
4) Many, but not all, of the files are actually gone from SVN so I can't recover a clean image. There was no warning that this command would actually delete the files from SVN (I thought it would just remove the version control connection).
5) Who know what other issue exist that I haven't seen.
Any idea how I can fix this?
Thanks in advance,
Dan

Are the "_temp_removed_by_svn" files in your local folder or SVN? Let us know how you get on with the new project. It sounds like something is wrong with SVN. Can you use the SVN Log command to see whether there is a different version you can restore. This might also give you an indication of what might have caused the problem. You could try deleting your CPD file. It gets rebuilt it is isn't there anyway. This file can become bloated and it is good practice to delete it when it gets close to 2mb in size. Your project is fairly large and has a lot of folders and may affect performance. Have you considered splitting them and merging the output? I know you probably don't want to consider this right now, but I think it may be a better long term solution.

Opening Project First Time from Version Control. RoboSource Node

Four writers have upgraded successfully. My fifth is having issues...
She has Serena Dimensions SCC installed as well (another source control product - used by Applications, not the authors or Infra.
Problem: When she is establishing the root path (and the Browse RoboSource Node window opens, but it does not populate, even after 20 minutes. Reboot did not work, neither did manually removing Serena Dimensions SCC. I have verified that she has a connection to the database (via RSC Explorer) and can see the project (as well as the RH7 version of the project). We have
These are the instructions... (screenshots not included). She's hanging up on
1.1    Using a New Project for the First Time
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The author must have local administrator rights on the machine. If the user has a privileged account, they must set up full local control of their work folder (specified in 1.1.2.8).
1.1.1    Install RoboHelp and RoboSource Control
1.    Download appropriate software packages, including all patches, from Adobe.
2.    Launch RoboHelp Installer. Select the following options for installation:
o   RoboHelp for HTML
o   RoboSource Control (Client)
o   CS4 Script Extender
INSTALLATION NOTES
Installation of each component is separate and may take up to 30 minutes. You do not have to install RoboHelp for Word.
Only select the Client Install for RoboSource Control.
3.    Install all patches in the order specified by the vendor. Check with the technical communicator on which version is currently in use for patching.
1.1.2    Open the Project
1.    Launch RoboSource Control.
2.    Establish a database connection per section 3.3.1.
3.    Close RoboSource Control.
4.    Launch RoboHelp 8 for HTML.
5.    Click Open under Recent Projects under the main frame (do not use title bars).
6.    Click the Open Project from version control button (shown below).
7.    Make sure that RoboSource Control 3.1 is highlighted as the Version Control Provider and the checkbox for “Make this my default selection” is checked. Click OK.
8.    Configure the Source Control system as follows:
Connection: PROD
Root Path: Click the … button and navigate to the (project name) root in the database and click OK. This may take several minutes.
Connection Mode: Online
Get to Local Path: Click the … button and navigate to your Data folder. Select Make New Folder under Data and give the folder a unique name to help you identify the files as for the Support KB in RoboHelp.
9.    Click OK when you have configured source control. A copy of the database is now being downloaded to the path you specified. This may take up to 20 minutes.
You can verify that installation is proceeding either by watching your local path fill with files or keeping an eye on the CPU usage of the RSO3MiddleTierService and RoboHelpHTML files under Task Manager.
10. Once transfer is complete, highlight Tier1KB.xpj and click Open. It may take several minutes to open the project the first time. It is typical for the snippet file to check out the first time you open the project and the first time each day that you save all project files.
11. Once the project is open, set Version Control properties:
a.         Select Tools > Options.
b.         On the Version Control tab, select all options. This will prompt the user on each version control action they take.
12. Test a check out/check in to validate correct installation and source control operation.

It's the settings in miscproperties in the XPJ and it works in TFS just fine. I'ts as follows:

Opening a project from version control

RH11 | WebHelp
This may be related to my previous post (File Status "New version available") but I am now unable to open a project from version control using the padlock button in RoboHelp's Open Project dialog box. It lets me select a project to open, but then just sits there, not doing anything.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Jonathan

This sounds like a bug to me. Does the RH11 work on a Windows 7 machine? If you have a VMWare lying around, you may want to give that a shot. Short of contacting Adobe with a bug report, I'm out of idea's.
Kind regards,

Presentation Catalog not Checked Out with Multiuser Development

I have 2 fact tables that belong to one Business Model that are then used to create 2 Presentation Catalogs. I created a project and added the fact tables, which shows the 2 Presentation Catalogs in the right pane to he project , and all looks well. But when I check the project out to my local machine, the Presentation Catalogs are not checked out. I do get the Business Model and Physical Layer, but no Presentation Catalog. Any ideas?
I see in the Oracle docs that compound fact tables are not allowed in projects. I do not believe I have a compound table, but please tell me if I am wrong. In the Business Model and Mapping Layer, each fact table logical source lists only one physical fact table...but in the Presentation Layer, one of the catalogs does use 2 logical fact tables. Is this the problem?
Thanks!

I did not see such an option, I asked around, appears nobody knows, but I admit there could be a way.
I still suggest opening an MS Connect so somebody from the development team would respond.

RSC says I have files checked out, but when I try to check them in it says they're not checked out

We are using RSC 3 to control RH7 projects. At the moment RSC says I have hundres of files checked out, but when I try to check them in it says they're not checked out. And then it says "No files were found to CheckIn." What could be causing this?
I tried refreshing and rebooting my (client) PC, and it didn't help.
Thanks.

I am no pro at this product but when you look in source control, who does it say has those files checked out. Does that user match the credentials that you use to connect to source control. The only reason I ask this is, when I first set this up for my Publishers, I used the default admin account to connect to RSC. Then I created accounts for them and went to their workstations to change credentials. I changed the credentials but they had checked out some docs before that and could not check them back in because they were still checked out as admin. Had to change it back, have them check projects back in and then switch credentials. Hope this helps.

How can i access my old correspondense with old password in Mozilla Thunderbird? How can i check out from my password?

I had my website moved to other hosting. Accordingly, i changed a password, and when i checked in on my computer the first time with a new password, i stupidly checked the box "remember me on this computer", but i lost access to all my old emails that were laying in Thunderbird on my PC. How can i check out from the current password and log in with the old one so that i could access my old correspondense?

'''Pop mail accounts '''can only access the server Inbox.
Messages are downloaded to your computer and stored in the Thunderbird Profile mail account.
Usually, the copy on the server is removed unless you select to 'leave messages on server' in Account Settings..
'Tools' > 'Account Settings' > 'Server Settings' for pop mail account.
These emails are stored on your computer and can be accessed in both 'online' and 'offline' mode.
You would need to make sure you periodically create a backup of these emails.
'''IMAP mail accounts '''see a remote view of any subscribed folder on the server.
Subscribed folders download headers only and when you select to read an email, it is retrieved from the server and stored in a temporary cache to faciltate quick access to reading.
These emails are not stored in your Thunderbird profile folders on your computer, so would not be visible if you changed to 'offline' mode. They are stored on the server.
If you did not synchronise those subscribed folders then a copy was never stored in your Thunderbird profile imap mail account.
As you have modified the IMAP mail account and it is currently accessing the new hosting server, so cannot display anything on a different server, I would leave it alone because it is working just fine.
What you could try is to create a new IMAP mail account with server settings to the old host server using the old password.
File > New > exisitng mail account
Enter name, email address and password
click on 'Continue'
If you do manage to get access, then synchronise the subscribed folders to get a copy downloaded to Thunderbird Profile folders. As those folders are constantly updating to match the server, once you have the emails downloaded, go into 'offline' mode and move them into 'Local Folders'; you will need to make new folders in Local Folders account for those emails.
However, it is possible that you may not get access as that contract has ended. There is no obligation for the old host company to keep your emails if you do not have an account with them. In which case those emails will be lost.
After creating new imap mail account, if you get access do as advised to get emails into Local Folders, once emails are in Local folders you can remove/delete the imap mail account. If it does not work, you can delete the imap mail account.

This project must be converted from version (macintosh 64) 12.0.x293. The original file will be unchanged

Hi there,
I'm making my first steps in After Effects.
I bought Classroom in a book After Effects cc.
The first step i have to take in lesson 1 is "Open and play the lesson01.mov sample movie to see what you will create in this lesson.
When i dubbel click this file.. this message pops up in AE (This project must be converted from version (macintosh 64) 12.0.x293. The original file will be unchanged)
The file will not play, and in the composition panel only a test image appears.
Why is this and how can i fix it?
I allready finished Lesson 1 but i still hope someone can explain me this message.
I hope its not a stupid question but it is particularly difficult for me because English is not my native language and all the lesson material is in English.
Kind regards
Kay

The warning simply means that the file was created in an older version of AE. The other issue is that you did not put your footage in the correct locations and it is missing. Use File --> Replace Footage to point to the proper storage locations.

Automatic Workflow Customizing - Check entries from HR Control Tables

Hi All
I am preparing the R/3 system before a ESS MSS implementation.
When I execute Transaction SWU3 I have a few red cross marks. Few of those are because the Gateway addresses are not specified and Webserver path is not specified.
The bit that I am worried about is
Check entries from HR Control Tables
SAP Documentation says
*To solve problems of this type, use the report RHTTCP77.
If there are errors regarding the transport objects PDST or PDWS, the relevant entries are not maintained in table SOBJ. You can use the report RHSOBJCH to rectify this later.*
I want to know the implications of correcting the entries with the report RHSOBJCH. Will it affect the configuration which has been done on the system for the business processes?
When I fire off
Consistency Check for Event Linkages
there are a whole bunch of errors which are thrown. Can I Activate/Deactivate the linkages
Wanted to make sure that there will be no knock on effects. Do I need to consider something else regarding these issues?
Thanks in advance

Hi Sriram,
I have also faced a similar issue.
Running the mentioned reports did not cause any problem for my case.
Only after running the reports and generating the task was I able to remove the red cross mark.

PE 13 - Project not compatible with current version of premier elements

I have PE 13 (recently installed on a system that also has PE 10)
I archived in PE 10 to a location, openend up the project with PE 13 and it appears to open just fine. I then save and close it and try to open it up a 2nd time and it fails with the error: "Project Not compatible with current version of premier elements"
I attempted to move all the media outside of the "Copied_XXX" folder per the troubleshooting steps, but it still fails even with all the media in a different location. Funny thing is that it knows about the media still because it appears in the loading content status bar at the very bottom left of the screen. it completes all 600 or so loads, but they are definitely not on timeline or listed in project assets.
Windows 7 Professional is the OS.

There is no guarantee that a project created in an earlier version will open in a later one. The classical recommendation is to finish a project in the version in which it is created.
If you do want to try to edit the project created in the earlier version in the later version, then make sure to work from a copy of the original. Once you edit the project created in the earlier version in the later version, you cannot go back to edit the later version edited project in the earlier version.
If you have your Premiere Elements 10 project archived, then you do not want to go moving copies of the project's source media outside that Copied Folder. The copy of the project file in that folder needs to trace back to that copied media in that Copied Folder. What you are seeing in Premiere Elements 13 is probably conforming of audio and video files, processing of rendered files, and such, maybe even some indexing. You do not want to proceed in Premiere Elements 13 until you do not see any further activity in the progress bar at the bottom right of the workspace. Have Premiere Elements 10 and 13 been on the same computer?
How did you open the project file in the Copied Folder - right clicked the project file, Open With, and then selected Adobe Premiere Elements 13? What is the duration of the Timeline of the original project in 10?
Have you been working with a copy of the Copied Folder and its contents?
More on this in the morning.

I lose JQuery functionality after checking out from shopping cart...

Hi Folks,
I have set up a slideshow using JQuery. I have started a one month eCommerce subscription but have not yet added the clients domain name to BC (therefore still using the http://clientsite.businesscatalyst.com domanin).
After checking out from the shopping cart I am redirected to http://clientsite.worldsecuresystems.com/...
When this happens I seem to lose functionality of my javascript plugins such as slideshow and 'prettyphoto' plugin.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
Thanks and regards
Brendon

Hi Brendon, if you search the forums there is a lot on this. "Dom Killing" , "Add to cart jquery" etc.
You should see all the discussions as it is quite intensive because of the way the BC scripting works and varius sollutions depending on your coding and BC knowledge.

It's hard to say what the problem is. One recomendation would be to drop usage of the database connectivity toolkit as it adds a lot of complexity and limits your options for troubleshooting problems. There is an alternative here. Read the discussion and download the drivers...
Also, what kind of database are you connecting to?
