RoboHelp 7 - multiple projects

I am using the new Tech Comm suite - RH7. I was asked to do a
little research on meging multiple projects. Since I have not done
it before, I was hoping I could get the basics here.
We have quite a few applications that will be available from
a portal menu. There will be a RH project for each application.
There will be a separate project for navigating and using the
portal. We need to be able to publish according to what the client
has purchased. Since a client will need to know how to navigate the
portal, we would need Navigation for each client, but then we would
pick and choose application documentation. Does that make sense?
So one client might get Navigation and App 1; another might
get Navigation and App 2 and App3...etc.
Any direction would be appreciated.
Thanks

Merging of projects is more useful in a situation where
multiple team members are going to be collaborating on different
pieces of the same project. Let's pretend the team is working on a
help system about soda pop. One team member would work on the Pepsi
help topic, and one would work on the Coke help topic. When both
team members output to the same place, the TOC for that project is
going to grab both the Pepsi and Coke topics and merge them
together in the project's TOC.
I think you would be better served just creating multiple
(client specific) table of contents. That way if you need to output
help for Company X, all you have to do is tell RoboHelp to use that
company's specific TOC when generating their help.
This is just my opinion, but I think this is the best route
to follow.
Hope it helps!

  • Topics in multiple projects in RoboHelp 8 are getting crossed over

    I have multiple projects I imported/upgraded into RoboHelp 8.  Initially when in each project, all topics are correct.  But after importing second and subsequent projects, when I go back to the first project, it shows the topics from the last project??  What's going on?  I've tried searching to see if this has happened to others, but do not see anything of the like... Any help would be appreciated...

    Hi all
    Perhaps it will help if we take a moment to understand a bit of the evolution of RoboHelp.
    Pull your chairs a bit closer and I'll tell you a story. In earlier years RoboHelp projects were managed by the .MPJ file. Because the MPJ file kept track of all project aspects, it was possible to store as many different projects as you like in the same main folder. This was nice from the aspect of sharing content. You could set things up so that you had common topics and images across multiple projects. If any of them changed, you changed them in any project and they changed for ALL projects using them. Of course this meant you had to recompile or re-generate each project if they changed, but the change actually only occurred once.
    Now along comes X5 with a new file structure. XML format. This meant some changes. Unfortunately some changes that effectively blew this manner of working totally out of the water. You may wonder why. Well, it's because while each project is mostly unique, some of the underlying files are rather generically named. For example, you have the ProjectName.XPJ, which is specific to each project, but that XPJ references generic files with APJ (Anaheim ProJect) file extensions. Files such as rhskins.apj, rjsnippet.apj and so on.
    My guess as to what has happened here is that with only one instance of these files able to be in a single folder, whoever saved last wins.
    What you have ahead of you is the following task.
    You need to split the projects into separate folders so that each project is in its own folder.
    THEN you upgrade each project.
    You should probably begin by restoring from the backup you made prior to attempting the upgrade.
    You, ummm, DID make one, didn't you?
    Cheers all... Rick

  • Accessing Multiple Project Files in Robohelp

    In Robohelp 8, do I have the ability to open multiple projects rather than one?
    Thanks

    Or you can double click the XPJ file in Windows Explorer. The project will always open in a new instance of RoboHelp.

  • Multiple Projects on Same Server

    Today was the first time I ever published 2 separate projects
    to the same server (thank goodness I used the DEV Server). They are
    totally separate projects - nothing the same and did not use
    anything from one project in the other. At the 4pm meeting to show
    the new project we noticed glossary terms, TOC topics, and even
    topic pages from my original project (2005) were showing up in this
    new project (less than 10 topics)
    My server guy does not know why or what happened. I have done
    some research and cannot find the answer either (grange.org and
    Adobe Knowledgebase). I remember hearing something about setting
    "default" project.
    Any ideas?
    Cindi

    Hi Cindi
    Are you using RoboHelp Server and WebHelp or FlashHelp Pro
    output? If so, I believe there is a setting you may be able to
    change using the Configuration Manager that determines whether all
    projects published to the RoboHelp Server are automatically merged
    or not. It sounds as if you are wanting to publish multiple
    projects to the RoboHelp Server, yet treat them as individual
    projects without merging.
    Cheers... Rick

  • How can I share a *.java source file across multiple projects in NetBeans?

    I'm sure this simple and a pretty common operation but how can I share a *.java source file across multiple projects in NetBeans? Right now I keep cut, coping and pasting the same source file between multiple projects to re-use the same code. But I could I make this source file a library file or something like that so that I could access it from any project. I assume this would be a generic operation but I mentioned NetBeans for clarity. Thanks.

    Create a class library.
    Write your code, compile it to .class files, put those class files in a .jar file and include the jar file in the classpath whenever you want to compile a project against it.

  • How to manage multiple resources in multiple project?

    Hello,
    We are a very small company that has migrated from an in-house TFS solution to using VSO to manage our projects.  One issue we are having is being able to look at outstanding tasks and resources allocated across multiple projects.  What I'm looking
    for is one place where I can see how many hours a person is allocated for a given week for all projects.
    Thank you for your help!
    Curt

    Hi Curtis,
    You can create a single team project and create teams for each of you project. Then you would be able to monitor all team progress etc using root team project and each team progress can be separately monitor. If you use parallel iterations across all teams
    this would be more effective.
    For team capacity you can set full capacity to root level and divided capacity levels to each team.
    Scaled Agile Framework is explaining similar concept here for more complex situations in below article. But you can use a simplified version of it.

  • How do you purchase multiple projects?

    How do you purchase multiple projects in iPhoto? I am trying to buy a calendar and 4 different books that I created on iPhoto. WHen I click the buy button it takes me to a purchasing page, but I can't figure out how to get other projects. There isn't a "shopping cart" that I can find. I'd like to pay just 1 shipping fee. Is this possible?

    You can't combine those into one order.

  • What is the concept of multiple projects

    Hi All,
    We have multiple development projects and support as well. Now my problem is say in Project1 we are working on OBJECT1, simultaneously the support team is also working on the same object (which is unknown to us). Now while transporting OBJECT1 as part of Project1 it has a dependent objects of support team, thus resulting in transportation errors and object conflicts. From SAP help I read about the concept of using multiple project assignment in transportation. Can anyone clearly explain what is multiple project concept in terms of transportation.
    One most important thing I would like to know is how, whilst transportation how SAP is identifying the missing object. For example I am trying to transport a request number, but while transporting it has given an error something like object 'XXXX' is missing. Now my question is how SAP is identifying that object 'XXXX' is missing?
    I would really appreciate any useful information.
    Thanks,
    Venkat
    Edited by: putcha venkatesh on Feb 4, 2009 12:14 PM

    Multiple projects in terms of transportation should make it possible to have a better overview of your transports. This way, a transport request can be assigned to a certain project, making it easier for logging purposes.
    During import of the transport request, a check is done on the database (for example if a data element is available) to find out if a certain object is available or not. If not, an error is generated.
    So it would be wise, before releasing the transport, to check if all objects you are using are part of another transport as well and if these transports have already been imported before your transport. Check all possible dependencies. It would be better though, to check this before making use of objects which you haven't created yourself in your development objects.

  • Multiple projects, multiple lists on Share Point

    Hi, I am hoping someone can provide me guidance here.
    I am trying to create a project list on SharePoint that shows the Gantt Chart of the task duration. However, there are multiple projects with the same tasks which I would like to capture. For example: Project A has task 1, task 2, .... task 20; Project B
    has the same tasks 1, 2... and 20. These tasks and projects are being worked on by different individuals.
    What I would like to capture is the duration of each tasks for these projects in one list on Share Point. Is it possible?
    any response would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks in advance for your time.

    Making this more complex adds potential rendering difficulty down the line.
    One list is indeed better and can be managed more easily. you'll be able to present different views of the data on different web part pages if needed, along with additional metadata,

  • FCPX 10.0.7 hangs when loading multiple projects - a non-destructive work around

    FCPX 10.0.7 hangs when loading multiple projects - a non-destructive work around....
    Hi Guys, I upgraded from FCPX 10.0.6 to 10.0.78 and discovered to my immense frustration that many of my 100+ FCPX projects would not load.
    Symptom:
    FCPX 10.0.7 appears to hang ("spinning beachball") with either high CPU% on a single core or  with 1-2% CPU busy (activity monitor.app) when a FINAL CUT PROJECT is selected. No logs error information in /var/logs ..hmm
    notices that the "status circle" spins around endlessly.
    Actvity Monitor.app shows "Final Cut Pro (Not Responding)
    and also I notice in some cases that an OEM filter ("NEAT VIDEO NOISE REDUCTION") is in progress to be loaded. FCPX V10.0.7 must be FORCED QUITtted to remove it from system.
    History: Upgraded FCPX from V10.0.6 to V10.0.07.
    "FINAL CUT EVENTS" and "FINAL CUT PROJECTS" on a single file system on SAS 16TB disk array (768MB/sec read via AJA system test) and 60% utilised capacity… FCP EVENTS has 400 events in it .. some 5.2TB of Prores essence etc .. all works fine! (i.e. the storage system is first class and is NOT the issue)
    32GB of RAM on MAC PRO 2009 Nehalem 16 x Vcore with ATI 5780 card and ATTO HBA's (i.e. plenty of resources!)
    As usual with any "upgrade" to FCPX 10.0.? all the EVENT objects need to be upgraded. In my case this takes an hour or two.. so I do that when asleep.
    After experiencing above, I restored the FCPX EVENTS LIbrary of that file system from LTO4 tape archive (BRU-PE ) and still had the same issues as above.
    WORKAROUND:
    FORCEd QUIT FCPX V10.0.7
    RENAMEd "/volumes/some_file_system_volume/Final Cut Projects" to "/volumes/some_file_system_volume/Final Cut Projects_original"
    created (make) a new "/volumes/some_file_system_volume/Final Cut Projects" (use finder)
    For each project !!! in "/volumes/some_file_system_volume/Final Cut Projects_original", (do one project at a time!!!)
    MOVE "/volumes/some_file_system_volume/Final Cut Projects_original/one_fcpx_projext_nnnn_folder" to "/volumes/some_file_system_volume/Final Cut Projects"
    Make sure you move ONLY one project at a time. If you have a subfolder of projects, please do each project one at a time (serially!)
    Launch FCPX V10.0.7 and BE PATIENT!!! .. DONT click or fiddle with the UI.. it seems when you intervene it locks up as well…
    Let FCPX V10.0.7 settle….
    select the project you just added above  and RELINK any objects it needs. Thumbnails and proxies will be rendered again.. just be patient
    wait until ALL the rendering as stopped.
    QUIT FCPX V10.0.7
    (now if FCPX locks up, just force it out and start again as above).
    repeat for all projects in "/volumes/some_file_system_volume/Final Cut Projects_original" (go to step 4 ad do until all projects moved)
    When all is COMPLETED MAKE SURE YOU ARCHIVE an instance (or make a backup ) of "/volumes/some_file_system_volume/Final Cut Projects"
    If this procedure has worked the folder "/volumes/some_file_system_volume/Final Cut Projects_original" will have zero (nill, none) projects in it.
    I have managed to restore ALL my  "/volumes/some_file_system_volume/Final Cut Projects" this xmas between drinking etc. I'm satisfied that its all ok.
    Other issues:
    use DISK WARRIOR or TT PRO 6 to make sure that the file system volume where your  "/volumes/some_file_system_volume/Final Cut Projects" are is physically ok. I noticed some entries in file system's  volume table that represented objects in  "/volumes/some_file_system_volume/Final Cut Projects" were at fault when I used these utilities… FWIW.
    SUMMARY: yes this took ages to d, however luckily I had everything in at least 3 instances in an archive which has saved me many time in the old FCP& and prior days… it was just a matter of time to put it back together.
    I put this outage down to may be my own impatience when I first fired up FCPX 10.0.7 after the upgrade.
    I'm interested if this workaround is helpful to others and in addtiion if others have a more satisfactory remedy.

    Hi Eb, yeah I could not see any "memory leak" or unusual consumption of REAL memory whose less availability would cause excessive PAGEing and SWAPping as seen in the Activty Monitor.app
    I watch this carefully especially the use of REAL MEMORY by 3rd Paryy apps. BTW there are a few that cause ALLOCATED but NOT USED memory (blue in the A.M.app UI). Simply a unix PURGE command can release that memory and help clean up the PAGE and VM swap files (its alleged!).
    Yes, you may be might with the element of "Luck" involved. I would add though, that having MULTIPLE project displaying in the STORYLINE window and loading always caused my FCP 10.0.7 jam up at startup with h symtoms and observations I described.
    TIP: I might also add that for a super speedy launch of FCPX one may also emply setting each PROJECT's UI to show only AUDIO thus negating the need to contstruct or reneder out a PREVIEW ui in each clip in the storyline.
    Your/Apples  suggestion of the movememt (rename) of "Final Cut Pro Projects" to "Final Cut Pro Projects Hidden" is similar to what I proposed above to stop FCPX 10.0.7 accessing and building it up at startup. This workaround has been useful inthe past as well.
    ALso one might also get the stick out and remove (delete/rm) the ~/Library/Saved Application State/com.apple.FinalCut.savedState in one's home ~/Library so that FCPX wont do such a neat job reinstating FCPX last time you crashed it... This has been helpful also in diagnosing my issues.
    Lastly I have noticed that:
    impatience clicking on the FCPX UI when in the unstable state causes it to lock up with NO visible CPU% busy.... as if its waiting on something which is usually me MEMTERMing it via FORCE QUIT and
    the projects where I have employed the NEAT VIDEO Noise Reduction OEM filter for FCPX seem to exasserbate the PROJECT loading issues when several PROJECTS are available at FCPX startup time.
    As of yesterday I have some 400+ EVENTS Final Cut Pro Events and 130+ projects of varying compexites in a single file system on Final Cut Pro Projects all working fine and as good as gold again!
    Oh and one more thing, I had to RE-RENDER many projects of them again... strange as the FCP PROJECT library was renstated from a recent LTO archive as of V10.0.6 FCPX.. strange that...I would have expected if the projects and events were 10.0.6/7 compatable as proposed by Tom, that this would not be necessary... hmm straneg that
    I'll monitor this thread.
    Thanks for your comments lads!

    The Apple Configurator tool robbed my school of @ 60×4 apps.
    Here's my mistake. I bought all the apps needed for the whole school in one lump sum. i.e. 350 copies of Pages. Then happily went to Configurator and loaded the spreadsheet. Installed on all the student iPads. Then need the remaining licenses to gift to the teachers and @ 30 for the cart. NOPE! Once they are loaded in to Configurator you can never get them back. Apple said, “sorry”.
    I did this for the iWorks suite, iPhoto, & neu.Annotate before I realized what was happening.
    This is what to do, in short. From the VPP account, buy the number needed for exactly what you need, just make sure, it's over 20, even if you only need 11, 20 copies is cheaper than 11 because they are half off at 20 or more. Get the spreadsheet generated by the VPP site for the 20 then buy for the next cart or site, it will generate a new spreadsheet of 20 you can give to the computer and its copy of Configurator.

  • Mass change Tcode for  status of multiple projects

    Dear All,
    Any SAP Standard t code for mass Status change for multiple Projects
    (like TECO,AALK).
    Thanks.
    Arun

    Hi
    You dont have this option in any STD SAP t.codes, where you can change the status of the projects/WBSE collectively.
    So use this BAPI to Read  the status of Project/WBSE
    BAPI_BUS2001_GET_STATUS   To get both the active system statuses and the user statuses for a project definition
    use this BAPI to Change  the status of Project/WBSE
    BAPI_BUS2001_SET_STATUS
    one system status and one user status  can be revoked each time, and one system status  and one user status  can be set each time for a project definition 
    For Network order status change
    BAPI_BUS2002_SET_STATUS
    Set/Reset Network Status. At the same time, you can revoke one system status and one user status, or set one system status and one user status in a list of activities for the network.

  • How to Select Multiple Projects?

    Another: "Wait a sec -- you mean Aperture still can't...?" question...
    So I'm in the Inspector's Projects tab. I've just created and named a new sub-folder, into which I want to drag several dozen projects. I've tried Cmd-clicking; I've tried Shift-clicking. But so far I only seem to be able to select (and then drag) one Project at a time.
    Does this mean, in the above scenario, I have to select, drag, and drop each of my 47 (or however many) Projects into that new sub-folder separately -- one at a time?
    Please tell me there's a way to select multiple Projects (and multiple Folders for that matter) in order to do some quick re-organizing/re-arranging in the Inspector. Or is this going to be yet another should've-been-there-in-the-Beta-version Feature Request?
