Providing online Help for Flex-based applications

I have been asked to provide online Help for a Flex application. As I have never done this before, I have a few questions:
- What is the format for the Help topics?
- Are there control-type files (e.g., TOC, index, project file) that need to be created? If so, what is the format for these?
- Is the Help compiled? If so, which compiler is used?
- How is context-sensitive Help created?
I'd also like to know if there are any resources I could look at that covers these Help issues. Thanks.

Hi,
You can acheive the same by the addition of [USER-COMMAND fcode].
RADIOBUTTON GROUP group [USER-COMMAND fcode] - The addition USER-COMMAND can be used to assign a function code fcode to the first parameter in a radio button group. The function code fcode must be specified directly, and have a maximum length of 20 characters. When the user selects any radio button of the radio button group on the selection screen, the runtime environment triggers the event AT SELECTION-SCREEN and transfers the function code fcode to the component ucomm of the interface work area sscrfields.
So you code should be altered as
PARAMETERS: rb_appl  RADIOBUTTON GROUP rad
                     USER-COMMAND radclick    "Addition which you have to make.
                     DEFAULT 'X',
            rb_pres  RADIOBUTTON GROUP rad ,
            p_file   TYPE ibipparms-path.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR p_file.
  IF rb_appl = 'X'.
    PERFORM f_applictn_server_filenm.
  ELSEIF rb_pres = 'X'.
    PERFORM f_presentation_filenm.
  ENDIF.
Thanks & Regards,

    Loop round the directory list, split each line up into a line table
    and get the last data for each line, should be the filename
    Then build the dirlist.
      REFRESH t_dirlist.
      LOOP AT lt_execprot.
        REFRESH t_dirline.
        SPLIT lt_execprot-message AT space INTO TABLE t_dirline.

    Here you will get all the files in the directory mentioned in Application server.
    For displaying them as a Search help use the FM '/BMC/ZPOPUP_GET_VALUE'
    Pass the Internal table to this FM.

  • Online Help for WD ABAP application

    We develop a WD ABAP application ("as a product") and want to provide an online help. In our last version we used an HTML online help (about 250 static HTML pages)
    1) I see the option to create such an help in the Knowledge Warehouse. Since we develop a product this help there would not be of any use for customers who do not have the KW. Or am I wrong here?
    2) Since the number of HTML pages (250+ html files, lots of images and directories) is significant I doubt I want to import them all to a WD application's MIME repository.
    Q: Is there any better option than 2), or is 1) an option at all.

    Hi Frank,
    You could also store the online documentation on any kind of web server and link to it from the web dynpro application. Btw.: The WebAS supports WebDAV, which allows you to upload large quantities of files in a convinient way. Moreover, since the type of mime objects is online documentation, you might consider adding it to the public part of the mime repository. Storing it inside of a Web Dynpro component would require users to be authenticated in order to read it.
    Best regards,
    Thomas

  • Developing Online Help for Mobile Applications

    My company is just starting to develop applications for mobile devices (cell phone, iPad
    , etc.). Can anyone tell me whether RoboHelp is the best Adobe application for devel
    oping online help for mobile devices or if some other application should be used? Thanks.

    Thanks for the insight. I haven't read about RH8 so wasn't aware of that difference. No, I haven't tried the demo yet. I guess that would be the logical next step. I've been trying to get to the STC web site to download the PDF file of the presentation, but can't get the web site to open. Oh well. Thanks again.

  • Online Help for Oracle HRMS Self Service System

    I am looking into developing context-sensitive online help for an Oracle HRMS Self Service application. There is currently no online help for the application; all help is provided in printed and online docs, so users are having trouble navigating to the info they need. Help is needed! My initial questions are:
    Would I need to create OHJ or OHW?
    Could I use RoboHelp to develop the content?
    Is there a reference document you can point me to?
    Thanks
    Belinda

    Hi Belinda,
    You would create Oracle Help, and then deploy it using OHJ or OHW.
    The format of the help is the same. There is nothing specific that needs to be done for one or the other. If your system i s a Web application, you would use OHW and otherwise, you would use OHJ.
    You can read more about Oracle Help on OTN at http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/java/help/index.html.
    (Read the FAQ for more information about the choice between OHJ and OHW.)
    Personally, I would not recommend RoboHelp to create Oracle Help. RoboHelp has a lot of nice features, but the Oracle Help output feature is fairly buggy, especially if you are creating a large helpset, or a helpset that has subhelpsets.
    At Oracle, a lot of help development is done using DreamWeaver and an in-house build tool, called the Oracle Help Build Tool. This is available for free. Send me a mail ([email protected]) if you want a copy.

  • ECATT for ITS based applications

    Is eCATT recordings / testing possible for ITS based applications?. If yes, could you please list out the limitations also if possible.
    I for sure know that eCATT does not support BSP applications but about ITS .... I m not sure
    Hoping for some replies ....
    Btw, are there any other tools out in the market that help in the testing of ITS based applications?
    How about Watir? (Refer : /people/justin.ramel/blog/2006/07/28/automated-functional-testing--part-1-of)

    Hey Guyzz....
    Thanks for your inputs on other integrable tools (certified by SAP too) with eCATT for testing SAPGUI with HTML (ITS).

    Hi All,
    How can I provide F4 help for parameter field.
    Regards,
    Amar

    hi,
    different ways of applying search help are :
    you can use anyone:
    1)   CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'
    or
    2) 
    can follow these simple steps for search help:
    go to se11==> put some name after ticking search help radiobutton==> create==>
    then tick " elementery search help " and press enter ===>then put description and table name in selection method ===>then put the field on which u want search help
    in search help parameter==> tick IMP EXP ==> write 1 in lpos and spos===>save and activate===> double click on table name ===>  select that field and press *search help tab* above===> then copy
    3 )
    methods of applyind search help:
    For search help sometimes we use MATCHCODE----->when we apply it directly to parameter or select option.they are obselete now ii.For search help sometimes we CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST' ??------->if we want to populate data of internal table as search help.
    iii.For search help sometimes we declare tablename-fieldname in selection?------>if that field in that table is having seach help or check table ..F4 will be avaliable directly.
    also:
    Fixed value of domain can also work as search help.
    i hope it will help u a lot
    thaks and regards
