RoboHelp 9 Publish to SharePoint - why not just change output folder?

Hello,
For publishing my help to SharePoint, I was not able to get the video publishing to SharePoint to play, but tried to follow what written instructions I could find. and they didn't work. However, I was able to publish directly to SharePoint by simply changing the "Output folder and Start page" on the "General"  WebHelp single source layout settings page. I just made the files go directly to the SharePoint document library - into an empty folder I placed there.  Here is the path I used: \\sharepoint\HR\HCMHRResources\OnlineHelp\HRSpace\index.htm    It seems to work fine. Is there any reason I should not do it this way?

Oops... my bad My Bad MY BAD!
That will teach me to reply without fully comprehending the thread. I was thinking you were referring to typing the UNC address into the publish destination field. But after looking at it again it seems you are talking about where WebHelp is generated.
Actually you DO NOT want to work that way. Here's why.
If you are placing content on a shared medium, odds are that users are accessing it from there, no? The first steps in the generation process involve removing the content from the folder in preparation for receiving a new round of content. And as you may imagine, if users are looking at the information and suddenly it's deleted, it's going to cause issues.
You always want to generate to your local hard drive. Then copy that content from your generated location to the server. And that's what Publish (which is what I thought you were doing) accomplishes.
Cheers... Rick

    Doing the following wouldn't hurt either:
    delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
    go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.

    launch iWeb and try again.

  • Why not full change nokia asha 300 themes?

    Why not full change nokia asha 300 themes? Not change all icons, white the top screen area.....

    The theme developer decides which icons the theme replaces and which it doesn't.
    However, the theme editor tool may have restrictions in that it does not know of, or allow to change all icons. The theme editor is platform version specific, and does not know of all the individual apps of every phone variant based on a particular platform version. If the theme editor is not aware of all the icons, then the theme developer using the tool has no way of changing it, either.
    And if you wish to create your own themes, you can find the tool for free from Nokia's Developer site: https://www.developer.nokia.com/info/sw.nokia.com/id/bb173537-4e67-496f-9967-50917d5cfc47/S60_Theme_...

    Way to go Apple - Now the Caps Lock button in iOS 7.1 is even more confusing! Why not finally change the keyboard from lower to upper as needed?
    Or, allow us to change the look of the keyboard as we would like? How simple would that be?
    Thank you!

  • Why not just do "Upgrade and Install"? From 10.2.8 to 10.3.5

    Ready to install 10.3.5, but am a little overwhelmed with different advice. No one recommends the "Upgrade & Install" method. When researching many posts, was wondering why not? It looks like it won't affect anything on my imac G4 except to upgrade the necessary system stuff. Is this true?
    Am mostly concerned about time - and having to reinstall printer drivers, my dsl connections, support files for OS 9.2 apps, etc. I am not having any problems with my 10.2.8, simply want to upgrade for the newer Safari browser, etc.
    Thanks for any help.

    You certainly can do an Upgrade install of Panther over your Jaguar installation. It will not affect your OS 9 installation. However, before you do so be sure to do the following:
    Boot from your OS X Installer. Be sure to use the installer for the version of OS X you have installed. After the installer loads select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (or Utilities menu if using Tiger.) After DU loads select your OS X volume from the list on the left, click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (3.0.3 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.0.6 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    As always you should make a bootable backup of your current system as a precaution. You can do this using a utility called Carbon Copy Cloner (www.versiontracker.com) and an external Firewire drive.

  • Why not just use UDP?

    I have UDP code written in Java that listens to an IP address and port number containing data being sent to that IP and port number. Why wouldn't I just continue to use the traditional UDP paradigm instead of JMS? My ReceiveSocket class creates a new java.net.MulticastSocket instance, creates a new DatagramPacket for reading the bytes, and then takes the datagram packet as input:
    private MulticastSocket m_socket = new MulticastSocket( m_receivePort );
    private DatagramPacket m_packet = new DatagramPacket( buf, buf.length );
    m_socket.receive( m_packet );
    I'm able to receive the data being sent and process it. Can someone explain the benefits of the JMS approach?
    Thanks!

    I would add to Steve's points that the difference in technical specification between UDP and TCP is that TCP guarantees delivery, in order, for messages that are too large to fit in one packet. UDP does not guarantee delivery, or the order of the packets, but it is much faster than TCP.
    It is easy to imagine an application that may want guarantees for some data, and does not care for other data. To address this situation, some implementations of JMS go beyond the specification and provide features to allow non-guaranteed data transfer. For instance, I have been using Sun Java System Message Queue which allows NO_ACKNOWLEDGE which increases performance at the cost of reliability.

  • Adobe - why not just release an MSI for every Reader revision???!?!?

    Why do Adobe have a policy of publishing an MSI for major Reader releases but only MSP's for revisions?
    If Adobe simply published an MSI for every revision (e.g. 11.0.09) it would avoid customers having to slipstream MSPs into MSIs which is a real pain in the backside.
    There must be a reason why Adobe have decided to complicate deployment for minor revisions so I'd love to hear what it is.
    Thanks

    Howdy. Mostly if an employee shows up in here, it's someone from support and not any of the folks that would need to see this.
    To get in touch with Adobe about a feature you would like to see, go here ---> Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form
    Good luck.

  • Why not just have phone delivered?

    I was just looking at posts here and on att and see a lot of people are reserving to pick up at the store. My question is why? I figure it's a lot of hassle to "camp out" to pick up the phone instead of just having it delivered to your house or work.

    Instant gratification. Lack of trust in shipping. Not home to accept shipment. I'm certain there are a number of reasons.
    I had originally planned to pick up in store becaue I'm due to catch a plane later in the evening on 6/24 - my mail runs late. Made a reservation online - only to call the store later yesterday evening to confirm and they had no record of my reservation. So... I opted to buy it through AT&T. If I'm not home when it delivers, it will be waiting for me when I return.

  • RoboHelp 9 publishing to SharePoint

    getting a new error message - "Publishing has been cancelled.  This file is checked out or locked for editing by another user. No recent changes to SharePoint and I'm the only one working with these files - Help :-)

    Are you trying to send your generated help to a SharePoint site? Sounds like the issue is with SP – try generating locally first & then try copying it up to SP; if you still get the same message, then you know it’s SP’s problem.

  • Why did the Apple Store replace the iPad mini when the firmware was corrupt -- why not just fix the firmware?

    The iPad mini would not turn on - so I scheduled an appointment with the Genius Bar. Why did they say the only solution was a replacement iPad mini- couldn't the firmware be corrected (re-installed or something?)
    Problem Description/Diagnosis
    Issue: iPad display is black
    Steps to Reproduce: Plugged into the computer to do a restore and there was an error message saying the firmware is corrupt
    Cosmetic Condition: iPad appears to be in good condition
    Contact Apple Support Case: 697280685
    Employee 929551133

    The iPad mini was not still under warranty -- so they charged me $199 -- and I did not ask because the way they said it, there was not an option. When I got home and checked, it appears that there should have been an option to re-install the firmware.

  • Why not just wait?

    Why the rush to update to IOS5?  As with all software updates, give it a few days (or weeks), let early adopters work through the bugs, let Apple sort things out, then update your device when things are stable.  I understand some want the latest and greatest immediately, but personally, even though I'm a technical person, I don't want the headaches nor do I want to spend hours of my life troubleshooting this kind of stuff.
    Just a thought.
    Best of luck

    Your advice is very sensible and prudent and just what I have been giving most people. I, on the other hand, am neither sensible or prudent and spend 4 hours updating my iPhone!

  • How can I set which projects use Proxy Media and not just change every project?

    Hi there
    I can see how to change ALL projects to use Proxy Media or Original/Optimised Media
    in
    Preferences>Playback
    But I'm switching between projects a lot and I only want to use Proxy Media on one project, so how can I tell FCPX to only use Proxy Media on that ONE project?
    Thanks

    Perhaps if apple didn't take back prores LT this wouldn't be as much of an issue.
    Pores LT was a great compromise between file size and quality. It produced a fine image for most peoples needs and was 30% smaller.
    Hopefully it will be returned soon. I can't imagine why it's not already there. Unless they want to charge for it, ... again..
    Have you tried capturing as full res, then change prefs back to proxy, open a new project and import the full res files?
    In FCP7 the render pref was separate from the capture pref. is that gone too?
    If my idea doesn't work, Surely someone will chime in with a creative work around to this.
    And hopefully it'll get fixed soon in an update.
    Best,

  • Why to use chnage  pointers for  master data idoc why not  the  change idoc

    Hi Gurus,
    I have  one doubt about  Idoc.
    When changes to master  data has to be sent Change pointers are configured and  used. (CDPOS & CDHDR). In case of  the  transaction data change change idoc  is  used as is the case with orders (we  use ORDCHG for  ORDERS message type to send  the  chnage details to a  order which was already sent to other system.
    Why we can't use  change  idoc or  message type whatever, instead of  Chnage pointers in case of  master data or  vice versa in case  of transaction data.
    Your valuable  input  will be rewarded with suitable  points!!
    -B S B.

    Hi,
    It was a good question ... SAP seems never designed the change pointer to handle transactional data IDocs. Only for master data IDocs distribution purposes.
    It may due to volume data ... the transactional data can change many times within a day compare with master data which hardly change or once a while.

  • When should I start a new catalogue and not just a new folder

    Hi,
    I have my files organised into folders all within one catalogue.  Is this good organisation or should I use more catalogues.
    Thanks
    Jenny

    Hi Jenny,
    Using a single catalog is nearly always the best choice, especially for LR users just starting out.  There are only a few reasons to have more than one catalog, for example to separate personal photographs from client photographs.  Otherwise, stick with one and you will have fewer issues.
