Resource manager and images being rewritten in the project root

Hi everybody,
I began using the Resource Manager, and I created two folders, one with HTML files (topics), and another one with pictures present in those topics.
As I transferred the topics to the HTML shared folder the pictures references remained the old ones, i.e. the ones inside the project folder, right?
Therefore I began reassigning the pictures to the ones copied in the pictures shared folder, and here begins to be a little bit illogical and difficult.
I deleted the pictures from the original project folder as I want to save the space and have, of course, the pictures only in the shared folder, however after I reassign the pictures to one of the topics, and I sync it, the pictures I deleted appear in the root folder of the project.
I wanted to have the "common" pictures (they appear in 2 different projects) only in the shared folder (declared as pictures folder in Resource Manager) because if I do a modification of one picture, I would like to have this modification propagated in the second project, right?
And also save some space, as it does not make any sense to me to have the same pictures in 2 places (double space consumed) when I can have them in only one folder.
I would like to know how I can avoid this recopying of the picture files in my project folder, if possible.
The procedure I used was:
1. Found out which are the common topics for the 2 projects and copied them in the Resource Manager shared folder for HTML files.
2. Found out which pictures were on those topics and copied them in the Resource Manger shared folder for pictures
3. I included the shared topics into the project, and reassigned the pictures to the ones that are in the Resource Manager shared pictures folder
4. I saved the topic, and did a sync in the Resource Manger
Did I do something wrong here?
Thank you.

The repository has all the images you may want to use in any of your projects or elsewhere.
Each time you link in a project, that image only is copied to the project, not the whole repository. If either copy changes, you are notified. You then have the choice of updating the out of date copy or breaking the link because for some reason you now want the difference.
Your statement "I saw that if I use an external directory to the actual project where I have pictures, RoboHelp will copy those into the project's folder" is not correct. The Resource pod will show all the images available in the repository but only the ones in used in the project are copied locally.

  • Resource Manager and Images

    Hi,
    I upgraded to RH9 (from RHX5) and very happily started to use both the Snippet and Resource Manager functionality.
    I seem to have hit a mental block despite reading the help and looking up this forum regarding updating images in the resource manager .....
    I have multiple projects and the same image is used throughout the projects - sometimes only once in a project and sometimes multiple times in the same project.
    Lets say this image is called Picture1.gif - due to program re-design I now need to update Picture1.gif.
    Picture1.gif is stored in Resource Manager and as it is linked then a copy is also stored in my project.
    I delete the old image, create a new image, rename it to the original name Picture1.gif and drag it to Shared Resources and then drag it back again so that it is linked.
    Despite the back and forth steps this does in fact work - the image is updated in other projects as expected.
    However, if an image appears in a project multiple times then I have to change it everywhere before I can rename it,  etc. etc.
    I feel quite sure that I am missing something here and that the whole process should be simpler!!
    I would have expected somehow to be able to update the image in the resource manger and then sync.
    TIA
    Morven

    Hi Morven
    In my own experience, it really shouldn't matter where you update the image, as the Resource Manager is a two way street. If you update in RoboHelp, it should be sensed and the updated image copied from your project to replace and update the centralized image. And likewise, if you update the centralized image, Resource Manager should update your project to match the updated centralized image.
    Again, I woudn't want to first delete the image followed by saving a new one using the same name. I would either open one of them (centralized or project) and edit as needed. Or edit a copy, make edits, then save using the same file name so the existing image is replaced.
    To the best of my knowledge, Resource Manager should sense the change as the date/time stamp should be different as well as possibly the size. Then the automation should kick in to update the image's counterpart and synchronize everything nicely. The only fly in this ointment would be if the new image were different in size from the pixel measurement standpoint. If the new image is wider or taller or narrower or shorter, you would need to ensure that you reset the sizes in your project so they match the new dimensions. Otherwise they will be a bit skewed and have the fun house effect. I believe RoboHelp supplies a script for this.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Oracle 10g database as Resource manager and heuristic transaction decision

    Hi,
    I have read in documents about distributed tarnsaction that resource manager like oracle databasecthat are involved in distributed transaction can take heuristic decision(unilateral decision) and can either rollback or commit the transaction associated with itself without having confirmation from the transaction manager.
    I want to know how a resource manager take this unilateral decision and can we set this as parameter either in resource manager or in application server.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Following are some links to documents.
    Handling Heuristic Completions
    http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs81/ConsoleHelp/jta.html
    A heuristic completion (or heuristic decision) occurs when a resource makes a unilateral decision during the completion stage of a distributed transaction to commit or rollback updates. This can leave distributed data in an indeterminate state. Network failures or resource timeouts are possible causes for heuristic completion. In the event of an heuristic completion, one of the following heuristic outcome exceptions may be thrown:
    HeuristicRollback—one resource participating in a transaction decided to autonomously rollback its work, even though it agreed to prepare itself and wait for a commit decision. If the Transaction Manager decided to commit the transaction, the resource's heuristic rollback decision was incorrect, and might lead to an inconsistent outcome since other branches of the transaction were committed.
    HeuristicCommit—one resource participating in a transaction decided to autonomously commit its work, even though it agreed to prepare itself and wait for a commit decision. If the Transaction Manager decided to rollback the transaction, the resource's heuristic commit decision was incorrect, and might lead to an inconsistent outcome since other branches of the transaction were rolled back.
    HeuristicMixed—the Transaction Manager is aware that a transaction resulted in a mixed outcome, where some participating resources committed and some rolled back. The underlying cause was most likely heuristic rollback or heuristic commit decisions made by one or more of the participating resources.
    2. Understanding EJB Transaction
    http://www2.sys-con.com/itsg/virtualcd/Java/archives/0504/tyagi/index.html
    Unilateral Decisions
    The transaction manager allows certain heuristic or speculative decisions to be made based on the state of all participating resources in a transaction and the underlying two-phase commit protocol. A heuristic decision occurs when one of the resources in the transaction unilaterally decides to commit or roll back the transaction without permission from the transaction manager
    3. Oracle® Containers for J2EE
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017_01/web.1013/b28958.pdf
    Heuristics
    To achieve consensus, two-phase commit is a blocking protocol. This means that, if a coordinator fails before delivering the final phase messages, the participants must remain blocked, holding onto resources. Modern transaction systems add heuristics to two-phase commit, which allows such participants to make unilateral decisions about whether they will commit or rollback. If a participant makes a choice that turns out to be different from the one taken by other participants, then non-atomic behavior occurs.
    I got this problem while trying to do a distributed J2EE tarnsaction with two XA (one MQ and other Oracle 10g database XA) and one non-xa (oracle 10g database). According to above docs a resource manager can decide tarnsaction final state unilaterally and that can result in unatomic transaction.
    Do oracle also make such decision and if yes then on what ground it takes decision? Can we change this according to our requirement either always rollback/commit anywhere as parameter setting?
    Thanks

  • Resource Management and Solaris Zones Developer Guide

    Solaris Information Products ("Pubs") is creating a
    developer guide for resource management and Solaris Zones.
    The department is seeking input on content from application
    developers and ISVs.
    We plan to discuss the different categories of applications
    that can take advantage of Solaris resource management
    features, and provide implementation examples that discuss
    the particular RM features that can be used.
    Although running in a zone poses no differences to most
    applications, we will describe any possible limitations and
    offer appropriate workarounds. We will also provide
    information needed by the ISV, such as determining
    the appropriate system calls to use in a non-global zone.
    We plan to use case studies to document the zones material.
    We would like to know the sorts of topics that you would
    like to see covered. We want to be sure that we address
    your specific development concerns with regard to these
    features.
    Thank you for your comments and suggestions.

    Hi there, i'm using solaris resource management in a
    server with more thant 2thousand acounts.
    Created profiles for users, defaul, staff, root and
    services.Seeing the contents of your /etc/project file could be helpful.
    But while using rctladm to enable syslog'ing, I set up
    global flags of "deny" and "no-local-action" in almos
    everything.The flags on the right hand side of the rctladm(1M) output are read-only:
    they are telling you the characteristics of the resource control in question (what
    operations the system will allow the resource control to take).
    Now, many aplications don't work because they are
    denied enough process.max-stack-size and
    process.max-file-descriptor for them to work.
    Applications such has prstat.If prstat(1) is failing due to the process.max-file-descriptor control value, that's
    probably a bug. prstat(1) is more likely bumping into the limit to assess how many file
    descriptors are available, and then carrying on--you're just seeing a log message since
    prstat(1) tested the file descriptor limit, and you've enabled syslog for that control. Please
    post the prstat(1) output, and we'll figure out if something's breaking.
    I don't find a way to disable the global flags. You can't. I would disable the syslog action on the process.max-stack-size control first;
    there is an outstanding bug on this control, in that it will report a false triggering event--
    no actual effect to the process. (If you send me some mail, I will add you as a call record
    on the bug.)
    Can anyone tell me:
    how to disable global flags?
    how to disable and enable solaris resource management
    all together?You could raise all of the control values, but the resource control facility (like the resource
    limit facility it superseded) is always active. Let's figure out if you're hitting the bug I mentioned,
    and then figure out how to proceed.

    Before you sync your iPhone make sure that all the music that was synced to your phonereviously has been copied to your iTunes on the new MacBook Pro. Then when you connect your phone you will be able to either sync all music or select only those playlists that you want on the phone.

    Bridge is categorically NOT "editing software".  It's just a file browser, no more and no less.  Period.
    Bridge does not "edit" anything.  Bridge doesn't even open anything.  It just hands files to the appropriate application, whether this be Adobe Camera Raw, Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat, InDesign, or even Microsoft Word.
    No, there will most likely never be "an update" for this.

    Trying to make a dvd from a project and this error message appears .The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (-2125)

    Hi
    Error -2125
    OK Error code - 2125 usually indicates that the movie is to large.
    It use to pop up when going to iDVD !
    iDVD - DO NOT CARE ABOUT Gbs at all. I got movies on 500Mb that do not fit and 50Gb that fits nicely.
    iDVD - ONLY CARES ABOUT - Duration. Duration is Movie time + MENU TIME. Choice of
    menu and animation of this can take lost of "DURATION" 15 minutes or even more.
    Choice of encoding method and use of SL or DL DVDs determine the DVD limit.
    iDVD 08 & 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities.
    iDVD 6 has the two last ones
    • Professional Quality (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST
    • Best Performances (movies + menus less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD
    • High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6) (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
    DL DVDs can store about double of these times.
    ALTERNATIVE - The Error Code can indicate that free space on Start-up (BOOT) hard disk is
    less than 25Gb (my minimum)

  • I AM USING PREM PRO CC2014 AND LOSING ALL SAVES FROM THE PROJECT WHEN i EXIT AND LATER OPEN UP PPRO

    I am at wits end as to why three times i have lost all saved info from a Premier Pro cc 2014 project.
    If I exit Prem pro and come back later, reopen the project , all I get is the old project with no saves, all changes (hours worth) absolutely $#@#$* gone.
    This is the third time !!!! I updated Prem pro about two weeks ago. Have not done any editing since the update,  start of this week, now having major problems.
    I save the work constantly, Is anyone having similar issues as this has never happened before 

    Make a new project and import old one into this new one.
    See if you can find a up to date Auto Save.
    Also make a habit of 'Save A Copy' to a different drive after each edit session. Save A Copy does not overwrite after so many times as Auto Save does.

  • Color management and images uploaded to the web

    Hi,
    I use Photoshop on both a mac pro (OS 10.5) and a PC (Vista) and when I upload photos to the web, the images processed on my PC look just fine, but the images I process on my Mac look washed out and pale on the web. The funny thing is the Mac images look GREAT on the Mac, but washed out on the PC. Is there some color profile or calibration that I need to be doing? Please help!

    can I re-open/expand this one? I don't think it is quite this simple
    at present I perform a similar manual operation having set up a series of calibrations using the system prefs>displays>colour in different light and including gamma 2.2 version
    I use Nikon Capture NX2 for my photographic editing, but as you may not be familiar with it, it is serious software (dare I say here orders-of-magnitude better and more extensive than Aperture) and works on RAW (nef) files. I post on a number of equally serious web photo-forums posting at near professional level. There is a constant trickle of EITHER complaints about 'too dark' from PC users OR about colour, but am not concerned with that here.
    I tried out the suggestion of working at gamma 2.2 myself and found I had to adjust a good image by +0.67 EV to get back to normal. That is unacceptable and hate to think how results would print.
    So 10.6 is about to go to gamma 2.2 as normal, but what effect will that have on previous work done with 1.8, ie will the system correct everything by itself (or do we need to reach heaven first)?
    The more immediate effect of 10.6 will be that Nikon and others will probably take another 6 months to make their software compatible

  • CRM 7 Marketing Resource Management and BI

    Hello Gurus,
    we want to use the scenario for marketing resource management with integrated BI.
    Unfortunately in customizing and SAP Help only the connection to SAP BI BPS is described.
    As far as I know BPS is an old tool. What about the use of BI-IP or BPC?
    If you any information on that, I would be happy if you share it with me.
    Thanks a lot and kind regards

    Yes, Marketing resource management (MRM) is about managing all the resources required in marketing - money/budgets, time and resources (people, assets, etc.) and improving efficiency.
    Defined by analysts as "a set of processes and capabilities that aim to enhance a company's ability to coordinate and optimize the use of internal and external marketing resources. MRM applications facilitate planning and budgeting, they coordinate execution and measure the impact of marketing efforts."
    So, it goes beyond scenario planning and also includes budgeting, digital asset management, workflows, etc.

  • Database resource manager and RAC

    Hello,
    This is probably is very simple question, but...
    I have a system with mixed workloads (OLTP and BATCH). As many before, I want to prevent BATCH processes from impacting OLTP. I read about RAC and DRM, and how each could be used to assign resources to services.
    Do I need RAC to be able to use DRM? Or can I do DRM without RAC? Are they the same thing?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    DRM provides control over resource management decisions on both oracle standard and clustered databases.
    pecifically, using the Database Resource Manager, you can:
    * Guarantee certain users a minimum amount of processing resources regardless of the load on the system and the number of users
    * Distribute available processing resources by allocating percentages of CPU time to different users and applications. In a data warehouse, a higher percentage may be given to ROLAP (relational on-line analytical processing) applications than to batch jobs.
    * Limit the degree of parallelism of any operation performed by members of a group of users
    * Create an active session pool. This pool consists of a specified maximum number of user sessions allowed to be concurrently active within a group of users. Additional sessions beyond the maximum are queued for execution, but you can specify a timeout period, after which queued jobs will terminate.
    * Allow automatic switching of users from one group to another group based on administrator defined criteria. If a member of a particular group of users creates a session that executes for longer than a specified amount of time, that session can be automatically switched to another group of users with different resource requirements.
    * Prevent the execution of operations that the optimizer estimates will run for a longer time than a specified limit
    * Create an undo pool. This pool consists of the amount of undo space that can be consumed in by a group of users.
    * Limit the amount of time that a session can be idle. This can be further defined to mean only sessions that are blocking other sessions.
    * Configure an instance to use a particular method of allocating resources. You can dynamically change the method, for example, from a daytime setup to a nighttime setup, without having to shut down and restart the instance.
    * Allow the cancellation of long-running SQL statements and the termination of long-running sessions.

  • Im an 8th year old and i am looking for a mac. I do alot of presentations and i like to have a lot of music and images. You think the macbook air is the one for me?

    Macbook air or pro? I am in 8th grade and like to hear alot of music and save alot of images which one is the one for me?

    "alot" can vary greatly depending on ones perception of the word.  However, I would recommend a non-retna model MacBook Pro so you can have the option to install a higher capacity hard drive and more ram if necessary over the years.  You can not install more ram in a MacBook Air after purchase and installing a new drive in a MacBook Air while it is under warranty would void said warranty.

  • How do I revert to replaced audio files being saved with the project file, *not* with the original audio files?

    In the latest release, when you send an audio clip to Audition, the newly created audio clip - which was previously saved in the same folder as the project file - is saved next to the original audio file.
    Makes sense, but for reasons to boring to go into, it's a major headache for my workflow, because it means combing through folders to find the files, instead of having them all in once place.
    So how to I turn this off and revert to those files being saved next to the project file?
