RoboEngine is not publishing RoboHelp Projects

Hi All,
We are currently using RoboHelp 2.0 that is installed on Windows NT box. We wanted to migrate our RoboHelp Projects from NT box to Windows 2003 Server.
I have installed RoboEngine Configuration Manager 2.00.082 on Windows 2003 server but not able to publish the existing projects.
Do you have any idea what are the steps need to be followed to configure the existing projects?
Is there any settings we need to change for Windows 2003 server? Is Windows 2003 server supports RoboHelp 2.0?
Kindly help me to fix that issue.
Thanks for your help.
M.P.

Hi Mahesh and welcome to the RH community.
That sure is an old copy of RH. Adobe is currently up to version 8 of both the RH Client and RH Server applications so I'm not surprised if things don't work as you'd expect on Windows Server 2003.

Publishing RoboHelp projects using third-party app and RH command prompt

Hi -
I am curious to know if anyone has used the RH command prompt to publish a RH project using a third party application - i.e. homegrown app?
I'm thinking of creating an application that will allow RH users register their projects for knowledge management purposes. It would act somewhat like an LMS where users could post their dev files on a network share. When ready to review with the customer, the would use the registration tool to push the project to preview. The app would call the RH command prompt using a server side technology, in my case .NET, and supply the necessary arguments and push the generated project to preview. Once it had been reviewed and ready, then the user could push to production.
Any thoughts on this - reasons why this wouldn't work, good, bad, ugly, alternatives? - all constructive comments welcome
Thanks

Hi there
I see some flaws with that.

Dev files need to always be local. Placing on a network share for the purposes of using RoboHelp to compile or generate is risky business and may explode in your face. LMS to me means Learning Management System. Those are typically used for eLearning. RoboHelp does help systems. Captivate does eLearning. So you are losing me with your LMS reference.
When ready to review with the customer, the would use the registration tool to push the project to preview.
I'm lost. What "registration tool" are you even referring to here? Or is this what you are planning on creating and that's what you are choosing to call it?

There is no "preview" of projects. Preview of individual topics, sure. But not for a project. There is only compile or generate to create the final output.
Once it had been reviewed and ready, then the user could push to production.
Sounds like what one might typically accomplish using RoboHelp in a typical development cycle. You edit content on the local hard drive. If a review is needed, you compile or generate the content and place the output on a server. After approval is complete the content is then copied to the production server.
Sure sounds like you are attempting to reinvent the wheel in many situations here.
Cheers... Rick

Project Professional 2010 Not Publishing to Project Server 2010

I am having trouble publishing a project from Project Professional 2010 to the Project Server 2010 (PWA). What I am trying to publish is a master project which is contains many enterprise projects as subprojects. When I press publish, it prompts me
to save and if I click yes then it goes through and saves all the subporjects and then just stops there and doesn't publish the changes to the master project. If I press publish and click no to the save prompt then it gives me the status "sychronizing
data to server" for around 15 seconds and then just does nothing after the sychonization finishes.
It usually should be giving a "publishing job done 0%" or "publishing job completed" when it publishes, but it gives nothing like that. I also check the project through the PWA and it has not updated yet, but when I open it for editing in the client it has
everything updated and up to date, meaning that the save is working properly and just not the publishing.
All my subprojects are able to publish correctly, it's just this master project that is not working.
Does anyone know why this is happening? Is the publishing process timing out for some reason? Or is it something else?
Please help.
EDIT: The progress notification at the bottom of Project Professional just stops at "save completed sucessfully" whenever I try to publish

To check the queue, navigate to Server Settings > Manage Queue and view the jobs that are present. If there is an error when publishing you should see it in the queue.

When finalizing iMovie with less than a minute an error message said can not publish because project is already open!

My question is I get error message when finalizing imove projects saying "can not plublish your project with an open project"
Where do I find this open project?
Thanks
John

It seems like there's a number of these being posted all around the iMovie Discussion Group. So the solution posted most recently that seems to work for the largest number of people is this:
This requires using the Terminal app, in your Applications/Utilities folder
To turn off Time Machine snapshots type in the following command:
sudo tmutil disablelocal
The Mac will likely ask for your password, so type it in and hit the return key. The type the word, exit and hit return. Quit Terminal.

Are Adobe Captivate swf files not compatible with IE8 or IE9 when inserted into RoboHelp projects?

Hi,
I've published Adobe Captivate swf files and then inserted them into my RoboHelp project. I then synced my RoboHelp project with our website and the videos within online help are not functioning in IE8 or IE9. They are only working in IE11.
Thanks,
Jaimie

Hi there
When a SWF plays in IE, it uses the Flash Player ActiveX control. I'm not 100% sure that different versions of IE would share the install. So if you have one version of IE on your machine, perhaps it either doesn't even have the control added in or it's the wrong version.
One thing I would check in the browsers where the content seems to be missing is to right-click the blank area and see if you coax a Flash pop similar to below:
Then note the version number.
You may find that all that you (or others) need to do is ensure you have at least a specific version of the player/add-in installed.

RoboHelp 10, not publishing glossary terms in selected format

I'm creating a project using a WebHelp layout in RoboHelp 10. In this project, I'm using the Glossary Hotspot Wizard to link key terms and definitions. After running the Glossary Hotspot Wizard, the applied format shows correctly in the project. However, when I publish the project, RoboHelp is not applying the select format.
This is the Style format used:
This is how a sample glossary term appears in my project, prior to publishing:
This is the raw HTML code:
Finally, this is how the term appears in my published project output:
The hotspot is still there and clickable, but the formatting has not been applied. The problem here is that the user wouldn't know to click on the word unless they move their mouse over the it.
Why would RoboHelp would overwrite my selected format like that during published, and is there any fix?

Hi R Tomchuk and welcome to the RH forums.
Can you start by telling us where you are publishing to. Is it a server? What type of server? The fact that you can see the hotpost operating as you expect in the generated output (which presumably on a local or network drive) suggests that there is something on that server that is affecting things. Do you have another server location you can publish to to check this theory out?

How can I publish a project so that the link to embedded flv is not lost?

When publishing an Adobe Captivate 3 project, the embedded flv file does not play.
How can I publish a project so that the link to embedded flv is not lost?

I am not really sure, if I understand you right. But try this:
Don’t place a picture, but draw a box and use the "Fill" command to put a picture into it.
(Don’t click onto the color swatch, but onto the blue link "Fill".)
In this case responsivness should work.

This pops up when exporting in iMovie "Unable to prepare project for publishing: The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (ParamErr: error in user parameter list)" I have turned off my Time Machine in terminal.

Hi
Error -50 paramErr Error in user parameter list
Can there be any external hard disks - if so How is/are it/they formatted ? Must be Mac OS Extended (hfs) if used for Video.
UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most but not for VIDEO.
What this means in Your situation is above me.
• free space on internal boot hard disk? How much ?
Video codec
• streamingDV, AIC etc. (not .avi, .mp4, .m4v, .wmv etc as they are containers not codecs)
Pictures
• in what format ? .jpg, .bmp, .tif, else ?
Audio
• from where/what format ? iTunes, .avi, .mp3, .aiff, else ?
The "com.apple.iMovie.plist" file
Many users has not observed that there are TWO libraries.
• Library - at root level
• Library - in user/account folder - THIS IS THE ONE to look into
from Luke Burns
I fixed the problem.. but it was very, very strange. I had a very long section for credits and set the line spacing to 1.0.. for some reason this caused it. I removed it, and it worked fine. I put it back, and I couldn't preview or play the video.
I don't know why that could cause that big of a problem, but it did..

You need more free space on your hard drive.

After phone support from apple I ended up creating a new project and adding all 117 clips back in individually till I found out what clips flagged and would not allow me to export. I had 3 I deleted and replaced and everything works now 1hr after tedious work....
Where do Your material come from
• Camera
• External hard disk
• USB-memory
And all are connected so that iMovie can find it ?

I have downloaded my family movies captured on Hi8 video through a Dazzle hollywood DV-bridge to the iMac. Everything went well until I tried to finalize the project.

I'm having the same problem.

Check out this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1421870
It may mean you either your Event or your Project. Have you moved any of the files in the Finder by any chance? That error may come up if you moved anything outside of iMovie. Do you get an error message when you choose Share>Export to iMovie (choose medium size) and save it to the Desktop? If you can export it to the desktop, you can pull that file into iDVD separately and still make it work.

Projects first created in Windows are now not publishing correctly from a Mac

I've been using the Windows version of Captivate for months without issues, putting together a large number of HTML5 courses, non-responsive. Lots of custom javascript via the 'Execute JavaScript' action for smartshapes, etc.
I just purchased a new Macbook Pro and then purchased a subscription license for Captivate. Now my cptx files that were working fine when opened and published from Windows Cp are very not publishing correctly - the javascript does not execute, etc. Everything *appears* fine within Captivate but I get issues upon preview/publish.
Thank goodness I have the 30 days to cancel the subscription and get a refund...but before I do that - has anyone else tried switching to a Mac and run into problems with Captivate projects?
Both machines have 8.01 installed. The only thing I can think of is, after installing 8.0 via the subscription download, I then did the 'Check for updates' and it went and downloaded and installed the 8.01 update. When I did this on Windows I followed the directions on a blog post somewhere (sorry - I forget the name!) that stressed deleting some directories on the machine first before running the update. I assumed the subscription files would be fixed/patched....

After struggling with this last night I took a look again this morning and narrowed down and corrected the problem. Basically, this is what happened to cause the issue and how I resolved it. Hopefully it helps others in the future.
Steps
Create project in Windows version of Cp (I was using version 8.01).
For my client's requirements, which are quite unique and complex compared to the typical Cp project, custom quiz questions/scoring had to be developed. Since these are HTML5 (non-responsive) courses, and Javascript is the fastest/most efficient way to do this, I used Javascript extensively for quizzes via the 'Execute Javascript' action. So for quiz questions, each answer is simply a smartshape (transparent, with answer text in it) that triggers the 'Execute Javascript' on click. In addition, on many of the quiz slides there are Edge Animate/HTML5 interactions embedded.
Worked fine on windows upon publish. But when I opened on a new Mac and published, when a question answer was clicked nothing would happen.
Turns out the problem seems to be with the text in the Javascript window. I think it somehow gets corrupted, though it looks fine. I had to literally delete the javascript, save it, and then copy it back in. Once I did that, it works.
I've invested too much time in this project so far, so don't want to risk any more major issues popping up like this, so I switched back to Windows and canceled my subscription this morning. Fortunately I have a license from my employer for Windows and will just use that with Boot Camp.

Project and other data not publishing

P6 R8.2 SP1, HF16 on Weblogic. Data is not publishing. I followed the steps in 1324828.1, but publishing did not occur as expected. I then found and followed the steps in 1418876.1 to fix the "stuck services" issue with the 'JT_ProjectArbiter'. Upon trying to save the changes to re-enable the services and again attempt to get the publishing to work, I found that if I tick the checkboxes for enable publication, when I click save, the web page locks up completely. I found a Bug matching this condition under id: 14135349, as yet not addressed with any work around or fix.
This is insane. Publishing P6 data across so that BI Publisher can use it for "near real time" reports is the fundamental core feature of Oracle Primavera EPPM software. The function is perfectly worthless if it cannot be used consistently.
Can anyone help me get the system to fully work in a reasonably stable/bug free condition?

My suggestion will be to revert back changes done for doc id 1418876.1. We have also experienced the same issue with this change.
Perform the steps as per below doc based on if you have issue with Global Scheduled Services or Project Publications
P6 Global Scheduled Services Are Stuck In A "Running" State [ID 1400104.1]
P6 Project Data Is Not Being Published Via The Publication Services [ID 1333858.1]
The steps in above document has addressed our issue in achieving near real time publication of the project. Rest depend on the values you specify in Application settings. Running publication services too frequently does have impact on server load.

Publishing RoboHelp 8 Project

I've downloaded a trial version of RoboHelp 8 and I've
created a Web Application Help project. It looks good and runs well
when I generate it. My question is, how do I get the files I
created onto a server? I have in a folder called "WebHelpTest1"
that resides in the "My RoboHelp Projects" folder. Do I put the
entire WebHelpTest1 folder onto the server? Probably not...any help
is appreciated. Thanks

Hi there
Indeed the entire contents of your output folder should be
copied to the server.
Cheers... Rick
