RHCL in RH9 not working

I changed from RH 8 to RH 9. I can open my "old" projects. Everything is fine.
Now I tried my old batch file which generates WebHelp and creates a zip of everything at the end. I checked and changed the paths in the batch file. When I start the batch file an error message appears: Invalid project for RHCL. Recreate the project with RoboHelp. (translated from German)
What does this message mean? All paths and names are ok.
I suggested that this only happens with "old" projects. Then I created a new project with RH 9 and I created a new batch file. At the end I have the same result.
Regards
Danny

Hi Vikram,
I cannot generate anything with RHCL. No old project, no new project, not by using bat file and not by command line. It is always the same.
The same bat worked with RH 8. With RH 9 everything is the same, except the installation path of RH and this is already changed in the bat file. In the bat file I call the program with this line:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe RoboHelp 9\RoboHTML\RHCL.exe" "C:\mypath\name-DE.xpj" -o "C:\mypath\onlinehelpdir\de" -l "WebHelp XYZ"
Is it possible that the operating system plays a role? RH 8 was installed on Windows XP and now I have RH 9 on Windows 7 now. RH 9 is installed in the "Program Files (x86)" directory. But that should not be the problem, RHCL is started but it seems that it does not accept the project.
The only WebHelp generation that works is directly from RoboHelp HTML.
My screenshots would be in German. What detail is interesting for you?
Regards
Danny

  • RH9 -  Import Word 2010 - Bookmarks not working

    We use Technical Communications Suite 3 with Robohelp 9 HTML.
    I import a Word 2010 doc (about 400 pages) and generate Microsoft HTML help.
    In the Word document we have cross-references to headings and bookmarks. The bookmarks work in Word, they work when I convert the Word Doc to a PDF using Adobe Acrobat X, however when I import the document into Robohelp 9 HTML they do not work.
    The cross-references to headings work but the ones to bookmarks end up with href="".
    I can edit the html and manually put in the href ="filename#bookmark" and it works but I want it to convert automatically upon import. The booksmarks in the word document read "(see page xyz)", where the xzy is the cross-reference to the bookmark, using a pagenumber field, so that in a printed document the user sees the page number and in the PDF, Word Doc, etc. and hopefully in the chm they can just click on the link.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    david

    Greetings,
    Thanks for the comments. At your suggestion, I was able to get it to work in a small project using a 3-4 page Word document. However it still would not work in my larger project. I noticed that in the large project there were bookmarks that did work to a point in the document andintermittent there after. I went into the Word document to the first failure and re-inserted a new bookmark with the same name hoping it would have a positive result. The results were the same.
    However when I inserted a bookmark with a different name, RoboHelp9 was able to recognize the bookmark and would convert to a link. I went through the Word document and created new bookmarks for the ones that did not work (a big task indeed). Now I am able to use the Word document as the source rather than having to edit the HTML in RoboHelp. This is good. Now only if I can get the footnotes to behave the same way....
    Granted, I don’t know why a set of the original bookmarks were not working when they worked in other format conversions (Acrobat -> pdf, Word->HTML, XPS), but I can move on. Possibly it has something to do with Window 7 x64….
    But, thanks for the input; it put me on a workable path.
    Thanks again,
    David

  • Robohelp 9 with patch - Not working with IE10

    Hi,
    We have a problem with webhelp generated from RoboHelp 9 when viewing with Internet Explorer 10. We can't open a topic on the left or open a search result, until we either :
    A) Resize the window
    B) Resize the splitter between contents and the content pane on the right
    C) Open the dev tools via F12
    We have installed the patch provided by adobe for existing webhelp generated by RH9 at the following address :
    http://abak09.abaksoftware.com/AbakWeb7700/Extras/Help/EN/
    I have also tried to install RH10 and generate the project again, but the same issue occurs.
    I don't know what else to look for, the problems are what the patch was released for, but it is not working in our case.

    We are reproducing with Windows 8 Pro 64bit, with Internet Explorer 10 (Update version 10.0.3).
    I see on your website the snippet "Topics not opening in IE10.". On our web server, we add the IE8 compatibility tag for our web application to work correctly. I have created a new site without this tag and the fix is working.
    Thanks a lot for your help

  • RHTML 8 WebHelp Search in Chrome not working

    We are running RoboHTML 8, with output to WebHelp. The project does include PDF files. I mention
    this because of other Discussions I've read looking for a solution.
    The output is delivered to customers in a WAR and it serves just fine from the server in IE, FireFox,
    and, even though technically not supported, in Chrome. However, in Chrome, while the TOC and Index
    are ok, Search does not work from the server. (I did notice repainting issues when selecting multiple
    entries in succession in the Index - as noted in another Discussion.)
    What I mean by "does not work" is that when I type in a word ("expression", for example) and click Search, nothing happens.
    The Search field is highlighted in a thin red line, so perhaps it is related to a security issue?
    I have used Peter Grainge's Snippet to run the help output locally in Chrome and it runs fine. However,
    Search does not work in Chrome when running the help locally.
    I tried deleting the CPD and then opening the project and regenerating, but that did not
    make any difference.
    I saw another Post that said to try RH 10, but our manager said that upgrading is
    not a first choice if another way to fix can be found.
    Can anyone help please? 

    Always difficult to answer when the question is phrased as you have put it. Rh9 and 10 are supported for Chrome and searching does work. It is always possible that something in your project or environment may cause a problem so no one will say for sure it will work. It should but the only sure way is to download the trial and check it out.

  • Remove an unused map ID - Does Not Work, Documentation Innacurate

    I am using TCS 3.5 on Windows XP Pro. We're linking FM books to RH for online help output. I'm listing this in the FM Integration section for that reason, but this seems like it could possibly be a standalone RH problem, too.
    I've been creating map files in RH and everything was going well until I tried cleaning out the unused map IDs. The topic alias markers I create in FM work well and do port over. However, if I edit the marker in FM and update the linked files in RH, the new marker shows up in the map file -- but so do all of the old ones.
    I thought that wouldn't be a problem when I found the "Remove an unused Map ID" function under the "Project Set-Up/Map Files." It seemed like it magically worked once and now not at all.
    I have tried every variation you can imagine with the process. I both edited and deleted the markers in FM, but I still cannot clean them out with this function. I also found that the map file must be "unlocked" and verified that in the properties setting, as well.
    Part of what I find strange is that the documentation for this function does not match up with I see in RH9. Maybe this is documentation for an older version of RH (see below)
    At any rate, this is a huge problem, because I cannot have the map files littered with unusued map IDs, nor is it realistic to do this work manually, especially given the size of our books.
    Remove an unused map ID
    Your map files must be unlocked to use this option. To remove unused map IDs:
    Expand the Context-Sensitive Help folder in the Project Set-up pod. 
    Right-click the Map Files folder. 
    Select Edit.
    Do the following:
    Map Files
    Select the map files from which to remove unused map IDs.
    Select All
    Click to remove unused map IDs from all map files.
    Clear All
    Click to deselect all map files and not remove unused map IDs

    Alright, maybe it isn't that bad if you substitute the correct text we discovered. But I think this also reveals another shortcoming with the management of those map files, which is once you open the "Edit Map IDs" dialogue box, you should be able to batch manage the entries in the same way. Ultimately, the "Remove Unused IDs should just work, but being able to select all the Map ID entries and delete them would be an acceptable workaround and/or a nice piece of enhanced functionality.
    When I tried deleting the Notepad entries, I left RH open. But I just now tried the method you suggested, closing it out and opening it again. This actually did not work and caused more problems. From that point, every time I tried to force an update, it would only pull over a single topic alias and nothing I did would restore the other original topic aliases from the FM files. This method seems to cause the integration to wig out.
    From there, I had to painfully create a new project and re-link the FM files, apply .isf settings, etc. That worked, but who wants to do that every time, not to mention the versioning management nightmare it will create, especially in an environment with multiple writers.
    After I got the files linked again, I determined that the best method seems to be deleting all the Map ID entries manually. That seems to clear out the Notepad file correctly and not cause any confusion for RH.
    I can understand why you opted for being a "FM import guy." This linking of FM>RH is fraught with lots of headaches and oftentimes application bugginess. In this case, I think I'm adhering to the philosophy of doing all the work in FM, but since the "Remove Unused IDs" functionality doesn't work in RH, there is little to do but touch things in RH with a workaround.

  • WinHelp, Windows 8 and Ultrabook - macros not working

    Our products are generated for WinHelp 2000 using RH9 for Word
    The user has symptoms typical of macros not working. This has normally been caused by the user not properly doing the step described in the Knowledgebase article at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917607 regarding " How to enable macros on a single computer after you install the WinHlp32.exe"
    I have updated a machine to Windows 8, performed the Knowledgebase article items and our products work fine. I have also verified that the user's machine has the correct registry settings, so it looks like Windows 8 is not the culprit. That leaves the Ultrabook
    This combination of Windows 8 and Ultrabook is quite new and I am hoping someone using WinHelp 2000 has already run into it.
    Please let me know if so.
    Thanks

    David
    On rereading this, I am not sure I follow.
    You say "I have updated a machine to Windows 8, performed the Knowledgebase article items and our products work fine."
    So on your machine it is OK but not on that of a user who has an Ultrabook, is that the case? If so, I'm not sure how to help as it is machine specific. Are you 100% sure they downloaded the right viewer and installed it with admin rights?

  • Browser support for RoboHelp 9 WebHelp / not working on IE7

    Does Adobe have an official list of what browsers are compatible with RH9's WebHelp?
    My output works fine on IE9, but in IE7 the TOC is blank and the search doesn't work.

    I'm not sure what it is in my reply that you are referring to when you say "News to me" or are you just passing on some information you have just found?
    As with IE7, Chrome should also work with RoboHelp 9 generated output provided it is on a web server. Whilst you may not have to support Chrome, it does seem odd that browser is also not working.

  • Drop Downs not working in chm Files

    Hi
    I have just upgraded to RH9, an dhave the latest patch. I noticed that drop downs I have created don't work They did in RH8.
    Here is the senerio
    Upgrade project
    Compile it as a chm file
    Drop downs work
    No edit the topic  and recompile
    View same topic in the chm file. Drop down link formatting appears, and appears clickable (Hand over) but when clicked the drop down does not work
    Any ideas
    This is happing on 2 PCs one Windows 7 one XP both wiht the latest version of RH
    Thanks
    Tim

    Hi Peter
    Thanks for your help. I have solved the problem thanks to your help. The key was the master page. Once I unlinked the topic from the master page everything started working again.
    I created a new master page whe the same items on an used that and now everyting works as I would expect.

    here you have all steps that you have to carry out to install Oracle on Linux ( In this case this document is based on Oracle9i on RH9 )
    http://linux.oreillynet.com/lpt/a/4141
    Installing Oracle 9iR2 on Red Hat 9
    by Roko Roic
    09/04/2003
    There are an ever-growing number of reasons to run the Oracle database server on a Linux-based OS. The price factor is obvious, as OS licenses can really boost the total price of your multiple workstation or clustered (RAC) server installation. Then there's the stability factor, the possibility of total remote administration, the availability of platform source code, speed, flexible filesystem, the strong Unix legacy .... Heck, even Oracle itself runs its business on what they like to call Unbreakable Linux.
    Red Hat's latest and greatest Linux distribution release comes with quite a few improvements, many of which are targeted at the needs of the workstation user. As new hardware owners become early adopters, this OS will surely dominate Linux developers' workstations in the months to come. Support for cutting-edge hardware and software technologies, easier maintenance via graphical configuration tools, polished office and productivity applications, a unified interface, development tools, and, of course, Red Hat's reputation will also make it the OS of choice for many Oracle developers. Unfortunately, unless the current version was certified, Oracle installation hardly ever ran smoothly on Red Hat Linux. Still, where there's a will, there's always a way. With a little help from this article, you will have your Oracle 9iR2 server running in no time on your new Red Hat 9 box. Let us begin.
    Adding Users and Groups
    First, you will need to create the Oracle installation and users and groups. Oracle installation needs two Unix user groups and one runtime Oracle user.
    Log in as root and issue the following commands in a terminal:
    [root@miniroko]# groupadd dba
    [root@miniroko]# groupadd oinstall
    [root@miniroko]# useradd -g oinstall -G dba oracle
    [root@miniroko]# passwd oracle
    The last command will prompt you to enter the password for your oracle user. Make sure you remember it, because you will probably need it as we go along.

    Hi
    The WF should also trigger if i add the Partner function in UI.If i change any Attribute the WF triggers but i dont want to change the attribute when i add the partner function.
    If i have only one event for WF that is Partner Change the WF will not trigger it for the 1st time when i save the UI. But next i come to the same saved doc and add a partner function then the Wf triggers.
    So this means that Partner change is active.
    the issue here is i need to trigger the WF on , the 1st time i save the UI, for which i wil be using Attribute Change and next time when i come back to saved doc the and add only the partner function and no changes are made to attributes the WF should again trigger.
    Thanks
