Robohelp 9, framemaker 10 conversion not in sequence of chapter but in alphabetic order of .fm files

Hi All,
We are trying to do the following :
- Create a Frame maker Book with a couple of chapters & TOC
- Import the Book into RoboHelp
- Save the document in RoboHelp to PDF, WebHTML & EPUB
- The output files are created but we do not see the content as expected.
Platform/Tools - Windows XP , Framemaker 10 , Robhelp 9
Issues :
PDF - The Chapters are ordered in the alphabetical sequence rather than the Chapter/Page sequence set by using the Numbering option for Chapter/Page - "Continue numbering from previous page in book".
WebHTML - The TOC does on the left frame/pane does not show the list of chapters
- The Chapters are ordered as per the alphabetical numbering ( Chapters begining with Numbers then alphabets etc.) rather than the order seen in Framemaker
EPUB - The TOC shows the numbers which are again ordered in alphabetical order but not reflecting the actual order of the chapters seen in framemaker.
- The Chapters are ordered as per the alphabetical numbering ( Chapters begining with Numbers then alphabets etc.) rather than the order seen in Framemaker
Could the folks are experienced with document publishing using Framemaker guide appropriately.
Thanks in Advance

Ok, wrong forum - you should be in the FrameMaker Integration thread in the RH forum, but no matter.
Trying to create PDF output out of RH will drive you crazy since you have to go through Word to get to PDF. Much better to go to PDF straight from your FM source book. This is one of FM's strengths - it's not one of RH's.
Since all your issues seem to stem from your ToC, I would recommend messing around with it in FM to get it looking correct. Then import the content & ToC into RH. The "Edit FM documents" button in the Conversion Settings dialog allows you to bring over your FM ToC into RH; they also control how content will appear and how topics are to be created (pagination).
If, after importing, your ToC in RH isn't what you want it to look like, just edit it within RH - since you're importing FM content (not linking) each time you import it's a fresh start (and new project). You can easily move stuff around in a RH ToC.

Camera raw 7.2 will not install within CS5.5, but need it to read nrw files from P7700.

camera raw 7.2 will not install within CS5.5, but need it to read nrw files from P7700. Besides DNG Converter, what can I do to use files directly?

Your next option is to upgrade photoshop. If you can't afford the full version (less than $20/month) you could get elements, it uses the latest version of camera raw, but I think it is a stripped down version though.

RoboHelp for FrameMaker and FrameMaker 8

I still use the legendary, yet discontinued and unsupported, "RoboHelp for FrameMaker". However, when I installed my new Tech Comm Suite and FM 8. RoboHelp for FrameMaker would not work with FM 8. I know this is a long shot, but does anyone know a workaround to get the defunct RoboHelp for FrameMaker to work with FrameMaker 8? Please do not suggest using RoboHelp to convert the files. That engine is terrible. Also, RoboHelp for FrameMaker, four years later, is still better than mif2go and ePublisher by Webworks.

Mark,
I meant RH for FrameMaker, and ..
"... RH for FM uses skins, it creates a web help system with a collapsible/expandable TOC, integrated client-side search engine, a better interface for mapping of styles and including or excluding conditional text, and it publishes to a web server. There are many other features."
You can easily substitute RH for FM with ePublisher and add quite a bit more. Since ePublisher to a great extend relies on XML there are so many other cool things you can do.
I am NOT saying it is easier, just that I like it more, and that it supports all of FM's features (incl. 8). The jobs I'm doing at the moment in ePublsher cannot yet be made by RH for FM. (Also I'm integrating both FM and Word and some xMetal XML output into the same help system!
But again it's a matter of opinion. And what you need to accomplish
In a recent seminar by RJ Jacquez from Adobe he admitted that the Tech Com Suite (and RH for FM) was an entry to the market and that they had some way to go yet for RH to 'compete' with ePublisher.
On the price side I quite agree. WebWorks has some pretty steep prices. Which at the same are completely and utterly impossible to understand. I have been given threee different prices for the same solution! Just to mention.

Robohelp 6, Framemaker and WebWorks integration?

I'm responsible for technical documentation at my company.
Yesterday I received an email about Robohelp 6, and decided to
check it out.
I've used Robohelp before and quite liked it. It's very
useful if you have an existing documentation base in Microsoft
Word; owever nearly all the companies I've worked at that have a
substantial documentation base use Framemaker and not Word as their
standard documentation platform, for a wide variety of reasons.
So, I'm a little disappointed to notice that Robohelp 6
really can't be used practically with Framemaker. Sure, I can
translate all my files to MIF and import them, but then this forces
me to go ahead and translate a lot of documentation manually (the
functionality to do a batch format conversion just doesn't exist).
It also forces me to keep two sets of documents (you can't generate
TOCs or IXs from MIF files apparently). That's just not acceptable
considering that the same company makes both applications.
Evidently RH6 isn't even able to use Framemaker to translate
documents on the fly the way that a third-party application like
WebWorks is able to do.
Seriously, I can't even say that the products are poorly
integrated, because they're evidently not integrated in any way.
This wouldn't be so bad if Frame 7.2 included the decent
version of WebWorks that used to be included with Frame 6.x,
or was even compatible with that version! But it's not. You
can't use Frame 7.2 with WebWorks. You're stuck with using
ePublisher, which isn't even close to an acceptable replacement as
it's a huge downgrade from the previous bundled app.
So, another online help solution is a dire necessity here,
and Adobe, despite owning both the Robohelp and Framemaker, is
either unable or unwilling to make both work together for a reason
which really escapes me. The one FAQ entry on the subject is beyond
vague and noncommittal and smacks of a half-answer designed to
"stop the technical writers whining about this".
Additionally, considering that Adobe itself is still to this
day bundling Quadralay products with Framemaker, wouldn't it be the
logically expected thing for Robohelp to be able to import WebWorks
and ePublisher projects, at least in part? Yet I don't see any way
in which this can be done.
Robohelp 6 is not a cheap product. At a grand a seat, it
costs more than Photoshop, despite being a much simpler product
(certainly in technical terms). I'd LOVE to be able to recommend
that my company buy a few licenses, but this is really not
something that I can do at this time, nor do I foresee a time when
I'll be able to do so unfortunately.
What can I, as a senior technical writer, expect Adobe to do
to resolve what I see as a serious impasse here?

Hi, tonyemond and welcome to the pond
You may not be aware, but Adobe only recently (within the
last year or so) acquired RoboHelp in the Macromedia deal. I can
understand your frustration and many of the issues you raise are
being addressed in the next version of RoboHelp which is being
developed as we "speak". In fact, it is so far along that you are
invited to join the Adobe RoboHelp pre-release (beta) program for
the next version.
You can find details here.
Adobe
Technical Communications Blog
I got to attend the sneak peek sessions at STC in Minneapolis
last month where Adobe showed many new features. As you may know,
there is a new version of Framemaker in beta as well (and Adobe
Captivate, too!). So, it takes a while to integrate these
leap-frogging targets. The wait will be rewarded however.
Enjoy!

"Current" Dimensions on Export not matching Sequence Settings or Clip

I have been trying to export a Sequence using "QuickTime Conversion" with Dimensions set to "Current" but I have a problem. The video clips dimensions are 1920x1080, and the sequence is also set to 1920x1080, as you can see from the screen shots. For some reason, every time I try to export the Sequence with Dimensions set to "Current", it is saying the current dimension is "556x312", see screen shot.
Can anyone tell me why it is doing this??? It is driving me crazy!
One more thing, I was able to export a sequence earlier today that I had NOT sent to Color. The sequence I am now trying to export is one that I sent to Color for some corrections and it is now only letting me export with current dimensions of 56x312 as stated above.
Thanks for your help!
When I Try To Export:
Actual Sequence Settings Showing It Is Set To 1920x1080:
Actual Clip Settings Showing It Is An Actual 1920x1080 File:

I need to do some compression, I need to reduce the file size. I was planning on use h.264. Its the dimensions of the video that I want to match the original/current footage.

RoboHelp for FrameMaker requirements

I have v1.1 of RoboHelp for FrameMaker and v7.2 FrameMaker.
RoboHelp complains that FrameMaker is not installed. Is v7.2 not
supported? Is there a way I can fool RoboHelp into using it anyway
(filename changes, etc.)?

As far as I know, RHF doesn't support FrameMaker 7.2, as 7.2
came out significantly after RHF. It seems to recognize FrameMaker
7.1, but has problems with more recent versions of Distiller that
ship with more recent versions of FrameMaker. I'd suspect that
Frame 7.0p578 would be the best option for withing with RHF.
However, you CAN have multiple versions of FrameMaker on the
same system. So you could have Frame 7.0 (for use with RHF) and
Frame 7.2 for other projects on the same system. Save your
FrameMaker files as MIF files for maximum portability across
different versions.
The sticking point will be Distiller - multiple versions of
Distiller on a system can cause all sorts of issues.

Invoice creation in batch jobas are not in sequence

Hello ,
I schedule two batch job with diffrent variant at the same time. When invoices are created in batch job there numbers are not in sequence. If I check creation time then Invoice creation time of Invoice number 2 is latter than invoice creation time of number5.
As per number range concept Invoice 2 should create before Invoice 5.
Why this is happening?

RDC

> Thanks for the soon reply but here my legacy system is File it is having the fields like INV details and country key and customer details these details i want to send it to Target Ecc system based on the country .
Use File Adapter in sender side to read the data from Legacy System ,if the legacy system data format not XML then use File content conversion in Sender comuniction channel to convert in to XML.
> for exp: If the country is Us then create the vendor invoice in the Ecc system , if the country is IND then check whether the existed customer in the ECC system or not if Existed then those details update into one more legacy system .

You have to perfrom RFC Lookup in mapping level if the coiuntry is IND,anyway you are on PI7.11 so you can perform RFC llok to check the it is existed customer or not. search in sdn for RFC look up.
Finally use enhanced Receiver determination to determin receiver.
search in sdn you will get it hot to determine dthe receiver...everything..
the requirement not complex..

Hi ,
I am using the following formula to display the alternate white and silver background color in every reocrd but this does not work because the records numbers are not in sequence for ex : its showing 54,56,58 which is not allowing the alternate color, Any advice.Thanks if remainder(recordnumber,2) =0 then crNoColorelse Color (218,218,218);

Post Author: keiffer6
CA Forum: General
Could you simply add a running total for each record. That will give you the 1 2 3 4 5 6 ....
Then in the details section color formula, use something like this:
if RunningTotal Mod 2 = 0 then crSilver Else crNoColor.

Content Conversion not creating a new line....

I have areceiver FCC configured in my scenario but the problem is that output file is producing content which comes over one line...
As in there is no new line for each substructure.
This is a new problem as last month when we tested the scenario worked perfectly... now though it seems as though the receiver adapter is doing some sort of URL encoding as instead of a new line I get a symbol where the new line should begin...

Hi Mendez,
Are using this in your FCC:
Item.<b>endSeparator ---> 'nl'</b>
if not use it your problem will be solved. Alos have a look into this:

PR NUMBERS ARE NOT IN SEQUENCE

Hi ,
We are facing an issue where Purchase requisition number created are not in sequence .
For e.g.Purchase requisition number 30087027 has been raised on 22.11.2011 and today's (23.11.2011) created purchase requisition number is 30086998 and 30086999.
So how this is happening .
My first analysis put me towards the Buffering of serial number .
Could you please guide me what will be the problem.
Thanks,
APR

Dear,
Kindly check the PR number ranges and the number ranges assign to the document type.
Then,
This issue with the internal number range assignment occurs due to buffering in the application server.this can be adjusted using SNRO.
Just access transaction SNRO and enter the object type BANF (no ranges for pr), in change mode , in the menu bar, please follow the path Edit---> Set up buffering ---> No buffering and save changes.
Please also look at SAP NOTE 62077.
Please also take care that the following situations
- Gaps (jumps) occur when allocating internal numbers.
- The status of the number range does not match the number last
assigned.
- The number assignment does not match the insert sequence.
usually occurs due to buffering. Buffering increases the
performance of the application, since a data base access is not required
each time a posting is made, but it can cause jumps on the internal
number assignment. This is usually not a problem, since number range
buffering doesn't loose any guaranteed attributes. If your business
requirements are that the internal numeration has to be continuous, you
will have to disable buffering. In order to do this, please follow
these steps:
Menu path (or transaction SNRO):
Tools -> ABAP/4 workbench -> Development -> Other tools -> Number ranges
In the field "object" write "banf", select 'change' and deselect the
'main memory buffering' flag.
Please also see notes 62077 and the listing of related notes which may
be relevant to your situation.
According to the note
Causes for having large jumps in your system can be following:
- purchase requisitions are deleted
- several application servers (each server has buffered numbers) and
when system is stopped all buffered numbers are lost
- when running MRP in parallel, each work process gets buffered with
the number of "numbers" set up in SNRO for that number range
Another consideration for the large consumption of number is the MRP
setting for "Planning Mode". If this is set to "3" the system will
replan every non-firmed purchase requisition and give it a new number
It is recommended using planning mode 1 to minimize the impact on
system resources.
please see note 504200 that provides an explanation on
how the system behaves for purchase requisitions created by the MRP.
Hope this will solve your problem
Thnks & regards

Framemaker 8 not starting up in Windows 7 (64-bit)

Framemaker 8 installed without any warnings on a new machine (Lenovo X301) running Windows 7 64-bit. But, unfortunately the software does not run. After clicking the executable, I see a 32-bit Framemaker task running in the task manager, but nothing appears on the screen.
The pdf maker seems to work fine.
Any ideas?
Thx,

Currency conversion not working for foreign entity

I am having an issue with currency conversion not generating the correct values for foreign entities. For entities where the currency is USD, I am able to see the LC amount being written to USD. However, for entites that have currencies other than USD, I just see zeros. I have double-checked to make sure that rates exist for the given currencies. Below is the logic script I am using which is a modificatio nof the multicurrency.lgl. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
// filter the appropriate currencies and rates
*SELECT(%REPORTING_CURRENCIES%, "[ID]", "RptCurrency", "[REPORTING] = 'Y'")
*SELECT(%FX_RATES%,"[ID]","RATE","[GROUP]='FX RATE'")
// set the appropriate region to clear
//(all reporting currencies)
*CLEAR_DESTINATION
*DESTINATION RPTCURRENCY=%REPORTING_CURRENCIES%
// load the rates from the RATE cube
*LOOKUP RATE
*DIM RATESRC="RATECALC"
*DIM Rate=ARFIELD.RATETYPE
*DIM SOURCECURR: INPUTCURRENCY=LOC_MILLOTH.CURRENCY
*FOR %CURR%=%REPORTING_CURRENCIES%
*DIM %CURR%:INPUTCURRENCY="%CURR%"
*NEXT
*ENDLOOKUP
// define the translation rule
*WHEN ARFIELD.RATETYPE
*IS "NOTRANS"
// translate
*IS %FX_RATES%
       *FOR %CURR%=%REPORTING_CURRENCIES%
           *REC(FACTOR=LOOKUP(SOURCECURR)/LOOKUP(%CURR%),RptCurrency="%CURR%")
       *NEXT
*ELSE
       *FOR %CURR%=%REPORTING_CURRENCIES%
           *REC(RptCurrency="%CURR%")
       *NEXT
*ENDWHEN
*FOR %CURR%=%REPORTING_CURRENCIES%
         [RptCurrency].[#%CURR%]=null
*NEXT
*COMMIT

Hi Karen,
I'm no script logic expert so I won't comment on your code. If it's working for USD then the code is probably fine.
There are a few other things you could check (these are based on investigation using the standard multicurrency script). They should line up with the standard Finance application from AppSet
In the InputCurrency dimension for the currencies you want to convert into :
   Check property Reporting is equal to "Y"
   Check property Group is set to "Report"
   Check propoerty MD has a value of "M" or "D"
In the RptCurrency dimension you need to have entries for the the currencies you want to convert into (AppSet only has USD and EUR to start). Also for each of the currencies :
   Check property Reporting is equal to "Y"
   Check property Group is equal to "Report"
   Check property Transfer is equal to "Y"
I'm not convinced that the Transfer value is required but from my testing if you get the above set up and use the standard multicurrency script it will work.
The testing I did was translating into USD, EUR, GBP, CHF, AUD etc
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
Bradley Newcombe.

'RSTS_READ' after upgrade error Required conversion not possible (ZFORM16)

Hi,
We have recently upgraded from SAP 4.7 to SAP ECC 6.0.
For client requirements, they have developed ZFORM16 in 2006 by copying the standard form HINCF160.
But after upgradation, when we execute ZFORM16 for 2006 data we are getting the error message:
                         Required conversion not possible
Some analysis of the issue is:
1)     In include: ZPCF16IN3 at statement:    PERFORM read_temse.         " MDSNT927906
2)     It is going to include : ZPCF16IN8 we are getting the error message at the statement :
call function 'RSTS_READ'
The error message is: Required conversion not possible
When I have checked the standard of form 16 HINCF160 code in ECC 6.0 is as:
In include PCF16IN3, PERFORM read_temse. Statement is commented and the corresponding form in PCF16IN8 include is also commented (Form read_temse) and now SAP is using different logic to get the DETAILS OF TAX DEDUCTED.
If I try to comment the PERFORM read_temse in ZPCF16IN3 then I am able to get the Form16 but DETAILS OF TAX DEDUCTED are not displayed. DETAILS OF TAX DEDUCTED logic is in PERFORM read_temse in ZPCF16IN3.
Can someone help me in solving the issue?
Regards,
Prem

We had to restart SAP & Oracle and the issue is solved
