Publishing DITA files in Frontmatter and Backmatter

Hello,
I am using FM11 and DITA 1.2.
I have a bookmap that consists of <frontmatter>, 3 <chapter>, 3 <appendix>, and <backmatter>.
In <frontmatter>, I have two <topicref> elements that contain DITA files
In the <backmatter> I have my glossary DTIA file.
When I save the ditamap as Book 11 with fm components none of the files in <frontmatter> and <backmatter> publish.
I have the ditafm-output.ini set up to GenerateFlatBook=1
Regards,
Stan

Hi Stan...
I could be wrong .. but I believe that FM ignores everythign within a <frontmatter> or <backmatter> element. No, that's not the "right" thing to do, but as far as I know that's the way it is.
In order to have FM properly recognze these elements (including build generated lists from the related elements .. <toc>, <indexlist>, etc.), you'll need to use DITA-FMx ..

Laggy Published .exe file on Netbook and Mac...

Greetings Fellow Captivate Users,
I am having the issue of when I publish my Captivate 5.5 project to an .exe file and test it on virtually any netbook PC the presentation is laggy/slow...meaning all animations are 1/2-1 second slower than normal and audio responses (audio files triggered by click boxes) and click boxes are slow to respond as well. Also, my published app file for Macs presents the same identical laggy problem as experienced on netbook PCs.
My eLearning project has the following specs:
- running full version of Captivate 5.5
- 190 slides with photos (jpgs - each jpg roughly under 10k) and audio files (see below). Each slide is roughly 3 seconds long and pauses waiting for user interaction "click to continue"
- I tried breaking up the project and making the project smaller with less slides so it is well under the 16,000 recommended amount of frames for Flash movies and this laggy problem still occurs on both netbooks and Macs
- the laggy .exe problem DOES NOT occur on mid-range/modern Laptop PCs or Desktop PCs
- audio files are passive and only triggered via click boxes (triggered after user clicks on picture, click boxes are layered on top of pictures),
- I am saving my Captivate 5.5 files locally on my own computer, as well as all my assets for my projects are saved locally
- I am NOT using a network drive for saving any files or assets
- Quiz Reporting is TURNED OFF in preferences and for all slides, buttons, click boxes, etc.
- I have found no looping occurences/Actions in my projects
- the published .swf file (for viewing the project in a browser) works perfectly on all PCs, netbook PCs, and Macs
UPDATE --- I should also note that I updated the Flash Players on all the Netbooks and Macs that I am testing my project on to the latest Flash Player version: 11.x    and I am still getting laggy/slow presentation issues.
My PC specs:
- Windows 7 SP1
- Intel Core i5 M460 @ 2.53 GHz
- 4GB RAM
- 64 Bit PC
- 248GB Free out of 500GB
If anyone else has experienced this same issue, knows why this is occuring, or can guide me on what settings to possibly change to remedy this issue, I would be grateful. Also, if you need more specs on my project please let me know. Many Thanks!

Restore Active Directory on Server 2008 using NTDS.DIT file

hello
I have NTDS.DIT file with me and want to restore it on same hardware with same host name and IP
Please help

Hi Rochak,
You have only the NTDS.DIT file?
No its not possible to restore the AD only using NTDS.DIT. You need to have the System state backup.
System state backup and restore operations include all system state data: you cannot choose to backup or restore individual components
due to dependencies among the system state components. However, you can restore system state data to an alternate location in which only the registry files, Sysvol directory files, and system boot files are restored. The Active Directory database, Certificate
Services database, and Component Services Class Registration database are not restored to the alternate location.

Updated to Adobe Muse 2014 this morning and have worked in it for the last 8 hours. Now when I try to publish the updated site to Business Catalyst for my client to preview it crashes everytime. I have tried just publishing altered files only, then tried the whole site again, and then tried publishing as a new site altogether. Thought I would then try to export as HTML in the hope of uploading the files via an FTP client and Muse crashes and locks up again. I am extremely stressed about this as I am in the last few days of of website I have been working on now with no issues since December. We are due to go live and my client needs to see it. I am desperate for an answer. It is not looking good. I am on an Apple Mac and have not had any isses publishing it for the last 6 months. Not very happy to say the least. Need desperate help.

Hi Zak, I got onto Adobe Customer Care Live Chat this morning and gave them the error message. After some trouble shooting with them it appears the older archived file of the site still publishes. I have now reverted back to the old file and copied and pasted out of the new file and from some ideas given to me by support I am now able to publish to Business Catalyst. It seems there was something corrupt within the new pages added yesterday. I have no idea if this would have still happened if I hadn't updated but I am glad it wasn't a Muse specific problem. I am loving using Muse and the support from Adobe has been excellent. Thanks everyone. By the way I do love the new version and apart from this hick up that lost me a few hours, aged me some more and gave me grey hair I really love Muse. Thanks again.

.exe file not working and impossible to publish

Hello,
I made a winform using ODP.Net Entity Framework and Linq to an Oracle 10gr2 through a network. It works fine under Visual Studio 2010, but when I try to use the .exe file (in release and in debug) it doesn't. It stops when try to use a Linq query or a stored procedures through Entity Framework.
Also I can't publish. I have an error : Unable to begin updating resource for bin\Release\app.publish\setup.exe with error 80070002 .
Is it a known bug, did I discover a something, or am I doing something wrong(I hope)?

Actually...never mind. This script creates a HUGE security
risk....

Published Project for MAC (.app) and will not open external PDF files

I have two captivate (7.x) projects that I published as Win .exe apps, and they work fine. Published the same two projects as MAC (.app) and when I run the app on the iMac, and click a click box to open an external PDF, nothing happens. The PDFs are located in the "root" folder with the .app file.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback. I was able to open some PDF files on Acrobat 5 that I recently scanned at a Fed Ex office with no issue whatsoever. I could extract pages, delete pages, etc, the software Acrobat 5 worked fine.
What I wonder is there a way I can make a change to a PDF file that will then allow me to open it in Acrobat 5? I have a gut feeling there is an adjustment that I can make in Adobe Reader after opening it that will then make the file accessible in Acrobat 5. I am playing with it but no luck thus far.

Mounting and Unmounting NTDS.dit file

Hi,
I am creating a PowerShell script that will give a possibility to mount the NTDS.dit file from the backup and compare the Backup AD with the current AD. If you are interested I can share the unfinished script. The problem is that I want to moun the NTDS.dit
file in a scripted maner. When you mount the file manualy using:
dsamain -dbpath "<path_to_the_NTDS.dit_file>" -ldapPort 10389
the process starts normaly but to end it the user needs to press "Ctrl+C" and once the process is running the script will not conitnue. I want to stop ager certain amount of time. I tried different ways starting the command as different process
(e.g.
cls
$w1 = ""
$w2 = ""
get-process -name powershell -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Foreach-object {$w1 = @();$w1 += $_.ID}
start-process powershell.exe -argument '-nologo -noprofile -executionpolicy bypass -command "dsamain -dbpath "<path_to_the_NTDS.dit_file> -ldapport 33389"'
Start-Sleep -Seconds 10
get-process -name powershell | Foreach-object {$w2 = @();$w2 += $_.ID}
$e = Compare-Object -ReferenceObject $w1 -DifferenceObject $w2
$e1 = foreach ($r in $e) {if($r -like "*=>*"){ $r }}
$e1 | Foreach-object {$y = @();$y += $_.InputObject}
Start-Sleep -Seconds 600
stop-process -id $y
and
Start-Process "Powershell.exe" -WindowStyle Hidden -ArgumentList "
Start-Job -Name 'Mounting the NTDS.dit' -ScriptBlock {
    Do
        # --- This will mount the ntds.dit file from the backup ---
        dsamain -dbpath $NTDS_File -ldapPort $LDAP_PortNumber
    Until ($False)
    }; Start-Sleep -s $time_ntds
But both commands don't allways work. I was browsing other solutions and came accross the main article of
dsamain:
Active Directory Domain Services Database Mounting Tool (Snapshot Viewer or Snapshot Browser) Step-by-Step Guide
and little bit from top of the "Steps for using the Active Directory databse mounting tool" there is a line that says:
"..You can stop Dsamain by pressing CTRL+C in the Command Prompt window or, if you are running the command remotely, by setting the
stopservice attribute on the rootDSE object. "
Can anyone tell me how to use stopservice, e.g. give example scripts or equivelent.
Or if anyone has any other ideas how to acomplish the task I would be more than happy to hear them out and try.

Solved it by using this command:
$time_ntds = 10
$time_ntds = $time_ntds*60
Start-Process "Powershell.exe" -WindowStyle Hidden -ArgumentList "
Start-Job -Name 'Mounting the NTDS.dit' -ScriptBlock {
Do
# --- This will mount the ntds.dit file from the backup ---
dsamain -dbpath $NTDS_File -ldapPort $LDAP_PortNumber
Until ($False)
}; Start-Sleep -s $time_ntds
start-sleep -Seconds 35

Why won't the music file I clicked and dragged onto my website publish?

I followed all the instructions in iWeb for inserting a music file on a page, by clicking on the music file and dragging it onto the iWeb page of my choice. Yet when I attempt to publish the changes, I get an error message saying "There was an error communicating with the FTP server. Try again later, or check with your service provider." I've tried it numerous times, but always get that message. I've tried changing the file name so that it does NOT include any spaces, but that doesn't work. Then, I tried replacing the spaces with underscores, but still it won't publish. Anyone have any idea how I can get this to work?

To verify that it's not the music file publish your site to a folder on your hard drive and open it locally with your browser. Click on the site's folder and select Local Folder in the Publish To menu.
Click to view full size
If the music file is there and plays OK then do this:
go to the System/MobileMe preference pane and log out of MMe.
login with a bogus username and password like "test" and "test". This clears the caches.
login with your correct username and password, launch iWeb and try publishing to MobileMe again.

Once Captivate file is published the animations become glitchy and the audio no longer is synced

Audio and animations match in captivate file before being published. Once I publish the file about a minute in, the animations become slow and unsynced with the audio. I am thinking that the file is too big, ( around 400 slide), but unsure what is causing this and how to fix this problem. Any suggestions?

Welcome to our community
This is hard to say without knowing more particulars about your situation. Sort of like walking into a doctors office and saying you just don't feel well.
What is the published output?
SWF with HTML page
EXE
YouTube
Apple
PDF
Something entirely different than above
How exactly are you viewing the output?
Preview from within Captivate
Browser Preview
After uploading to a web site
After burning a CD-ROM and playing from there
After uploading to YouTube
Something entirely different from above
If you can give us more particulars, perhaps we might offer better advice.

Importing swf file with skin and closed captioning problems

I created a flv file in Preimere and I pulled it into flash to create close captioning. When I publish it, it creates a swf file that I can open up on its own and it has the skin with the button to push to show the closed caption. When I try to bring that file into captivate, it doesnt bring in the skin and it just automatically shows the captions. How do I get it to bring the skin in with it?

Are you seeing this problem when you preview you project. or only after you publish it? If it is when you publish, is it in both the local version and/or in the web version?
Also, which version of Flash Catalyst? 1.0 or 5.5.?

Failed to import publish settings file in Azure Toolkit for Eclipse with Java downloaded from Azure Management Portal

I tried to deploy the Hello World JSP application to Azure from Eclipse following the instructions at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/azure/hh690944%28VS.103%29.aspx. Got the following error when trying to import Publish Settings file downloaded from Azure

Could someone help me solve this problem? Thanks.

Hi huihuang,
It seems there is some issue with your publishsettings file, could you open this file and copy the content here? Or please have a look at this article:
http://gauravmantri.com/2012/09/14/about-windows-azure-publish-settings-file-and-how-to-create-your-own-publish-settings-file/ for more information about it.

Can't publish larger files in iWeb 09

Hi
Have recently updated my iWeb to 09 and had accidentally deleted my old Domaion file so had to rebuild site from scratch. Anyway, since I have, it gets stuck on pages that have any larger files on them (movie and audio files) despite having plenty of space in my MobileMe account. I get "Try again later" message.
Have managed to publish successfully to a local folder which I then tried copying with index to 'Sites' on my iDisk but that that too presents a problem saying "The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "" could not be read or written. (Error code -36)
I'm baffled! All I want to do is publish my site without any hassle, the files aren't that big only about 40 MB each. Can anyone suggest anything? Have had a look at iwebfaq and on here and have tried a few things but nothing seems to help so far. Any suggestions would be very gratefully received! Thanks!

That error code is -36 ioErr I/O error. Can you publish a different site? Crate a small test site and see if it will go thru. If not then it's not just your primary site.
If you expect to revise the site occasionally or want your visitors not to have to wait for those large files to load while the host page loads you might look at these ways to add a movie or audio file.
Movie: QT Movies and Opening Item in New, Specially Sized Window. The code used is shown.
Audio: Flash Audio Players - 3 different types of flash audio players. The code used is shown.
These methods require loading the movie or audio files only once and do not load on the pages until they are played.

Converting ms publisher 2007 files to pdf in acrobat x pro

I really could use help with my project. I have a publisher 2007 file which I converted to pdf in Acrobat x pro. The links won't work. There are 4 links. 2 to external web sites and 2 are email links. I tried setting the links in publisher then converting. That didn't workl. I tried removing the links then converting and adding the links in Acrobat. They don't work either after I publish them to my web site. Please tell me what I am doing wrong.
Thanks.

Could you post the link you mention? How did you create the PDF from Publisher -- there are several ways and some save the links and some don't. Also, some are MS methods and others are Adobe methods.

How to publish .coverage file to a TFS build from CUITs

I have used vsinstr.exe to instrument the subject assemblies for code coverage and then vsperfmon.exe to capture the .coverage file while running the code UI tests. The /EnableCodeCoverage option for vstest.console.exe is only valid when running unit tests.
How do I publish the resulting .coverage file to TFS and associate with a build? When running the CUITs with vstest.console.exe I am using the TfsPublisher to published the test results with a build.
Thanks.

Thanks, yes I've reviewed this information and many others. Per my original post, I'm using vsperfmon.exe to capture the .coverage file while running the code UI tests per http://blogs.msdn.com/b/phuene/archive/2007/05/14/code-coverage-collection.aspx
as /EnableCodeCoverage does not seem to work as listed below.
On Win8.1 Enterprise with Update 1 using VS2013.4 and TFS2013.4 I've attempted to scale back from a client server set of tests to a simple WinForm application and Coded UI test. When attempting to use the following command in a VS2013 command window as Administrator
I receive the following then the test never executes.
Warning: Using Isolation mode to run the tests as diagnostic data adapters were enabled in the runsettings. Use the /inIsolation parameter to suppress this warning.
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TestWindow\vstest.console.exe" WFATest.dll /logger:TfsPublisher;Collection=http://mtl-tfs-at:8080/tfs/TfsRetailCollection_1;BuildNa
me=StoreMain6.4.0.5.0.163;TeamProject=BASE-Timekeeping;Platform="AnyCPU";Flavor="Release";RunTitle="20150112 Run" /EnableCodeCoverage
When using a simple .runsettings file that has no diagnostic data adapters defined I still receive the warning. When running the same above command WITHOUT the /EnableCodeCoverage option then the test executes successfully.
....in only one case using the /EnableCodeCoverage option I received the following error:
Error: There was no endpoint listening at net.pipe://bcasner7/TestExecutor/15976 that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action. See InnerException, if present, for more details.
