Search external cnt using winhelp2000

I am producing help in winhelp 2000 and have a main help file
with multiple external help files. When I do a search for text in
the main help, there are no results for the external help files. I
have deleted old .gid files and .fts files. Can this version search
the external files? The topics are shown in the TOC of the main
help.
Thanks-Judy

Create a scopr with that in managed properies and then u can get results from external sources

Does an external cnt file need to be in the same folder as the master cnt file?

I'm working in RoboHelp Word and have inserted two external
cnt files into a master cnt file. I've selected the option 'use
full path' as the external help file is installed under a different
folder than the master help file. However, I am unable to view the
extneral cnt file from the master cnt file, unless all cnt and hlp
files are installed in the same folder. Is it not possible to have
the external cnt files under a different folder? Thanks for any
assistance!

Hi, SSchwa, and welcome,
I believe that you can keep the files in different folders
provided that they are in the help "search path". The following is
from Microsoft's WinHelp Author's Guide:
quote:
WinHelp now searches for Help files in the following
locations, in the order listed.
* If a path is specified, WinHelp first searches for the file
in the specified path. If the file is not found, the path is
removed and the following locations are searched.
* The folder of the current Help file.
* The current folder.
* The System subfolder of the Windows folder.
* The Windows folder.
* The folders listed in the PATH environment.
* The location specified in the Winhelp.ini file.
* The registry.
If WinHelp cannot find a Help file, it displays a dialog box
that enables the user to specify the location of the Help file. If
the users finds the file, WinHelp will add the location information
in the registry.
As far as registering the .hlp and .cnt files is
concerned, the registry key under which to do so is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Help

Can TREX search extern LDAP?

Hi guys,
I am planning to search an external LDAP with TREX (running on Java Web AS 6.40) and view the result in SAP EP 6.0 SP 14.
But so far I did not find a Repository Manager (=> System Administration => System Configuration => Knowledge Management => Content Management => Repository Managers) which seems to fit.
That comes fairly surprising, considering that TREX can search UME which may be based on a LDAP server. There should be a way to search external LDAP servers as well.
<b>Does anyone know how to search an external LDAP with TREX. Please let me know.</b>
Kind Regards,
Martin

Hi Rob,
The Who's Who iView uses a TREX index within KM - working on the UME repository within KM.
==> The answer is no.
Also see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/21/ac21410bc3ef23e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
Hope it helps

Subject: How to Load an external swf using loadmovie in AS3
In AS3 you use the Loader class to load external swf's and image files. You
should be able to find examples both in the Flash help files and these forums
if you search. If you aren't aware of how to code buttons in AS3, that can be
found as well. In AS3, just about any kind of interction involves the use of
event listeners in combination event handler functions... in the case of a
button rollover an example would be...
btnName.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, overHandler);
function overHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {
// your loading code or whatever

Hi Basva,
Do you want to provision two search service applications in single farm?
Commonly, only one search service application is needed in a farm for Search function.
Here are articles for detail information about how to provision search service application using powershell:

Reg : Issue for Sending of external email using SO_OBJECT_SEND

There is one issue while sending external email using SO_OBJECT_SEND functional module.

I want to avoid the same.
Please anyone can give the solution.

hi check this example ,
Sending mail with attachment report in Background
Content Author: Fernando Faian
I have read the hint about "Sending mail with attachment report".
It's great, but how can I make this function work in background??
I had that needed last year too. See attachment a function group with two functions. The second one has that functionality to send email or fax (SAP office) with attachment objects in background job using SO_ATTACHMENT_INSERT function.
Pay attention because its working with output list from spool converted to pdf.

HDTV as external monitor using ethernet connection

Hello,
I want to connect my HDTV to my iMac and use it as an external monitor.
My HDTV is about 25 ft away from my iMac.
A HDMI cable of that length cost over 200 $.
So, its not an option to me.
I just bought a smart rooter but my HDTV Panasonic Viera P50GT30 is not a smart TV.
It needs a DLNA server and I can't find one.
Question : Is there a way to use my HDTV as an external monitor using the Ethernet or Wifi connection?
Thank's,
Pierre.

This look's good.

Can you restore an external drive using Time Machine

I have my media libraries (iphoto, imovie, itunes) on a separate external drive connected to my mac. They are being backed up to another HD through my time machine backups. However, should my media external drive fail, is it even possible to restore the files to a replacement external HD using time machine? Would it be better to partition my time machine external drive and use half for time machine and the other half to manually copy/backup my external medial HD?

Bad idea, thats putting everything in once place. Worst premise for data protection
Methodology to protect your data. Backups vs. Archives. Long-term data protection
Everything is about 1. redundancy, 2. redundancy and 3. multiple storage platforms (DVD, multiple HD, online server archives ala a personal website etc.)
The first realization is that your data on your computer is highly vulnerable
The second realization is that you need a HD backup of your OS and data
The third realization is that you need at the very least a secondary HD backup
The fourth and final realization is understanding the fragility of any and all HD & ferromagnetic storage, and that vital data needs to be “frozen” on unassailable redundancies across multiple storage platforms including multiple HD, online backup, archival DVD burns comprising at the very minimum triple platform redundancy of data you have been working on for years or decades that cannot be replaced.
The B.A.R. “rule” (backup-archive-redundancy)
Backup: Active data emergency restore. Backups are moved from backups to archives; or from backups to the computer for restore or data retrieval.
Archive: Active and static data protection with the highest level of redundancy. Archives are only moved from itself to itself (archived copies). Generally a “long-term retention” nexus.
Redundancy: A fail-safe off-site or protected and “frozen” copy of your vital data and foolproof protection against magnetic degradation and HD mechanical failure. A likewise failsafe from theft, house fire, etc.
Redundancy has two points of premise:
A: redundancy (copies) of data archives.
B: redundancy of data on different platforms (optical, online, magneto-optical, HD).
Send your backups to your archives (as often as possible), and your archives to self-same redundancies.
*When referring to backups and archives here, this is in reference to your data saved/ created/ working on,... not your OS, your applications, and your system information / settings,...which is the idealized premise for use of Time Machine as a system-backup after internal data corruption or HD-failure.
Here we are referring to data backups and archives, not system-backups for restoring your OS-system.
If your data on your hard drive is the cash in your wallet, a backup is your bank account/debit card, and an archive is a locked safety deposit box.
Its easy to get your wallet emptied (corrupted) or stolen, your backup checking account is somewhat easy to get corrupted/drained or damaged, but your bunker security is in the lockbox inside the vault, where your vital data and archives reside. In the premise of preventing data loss, you want as often and as much as possible one-way transfers from your “wallet” to your safety deposit box archives; and further still a minimum of two copies of those archives.
Highest priority (archives) requires highest redundancy. In the premise of often copying data from backups to archives, backup redundancy plays a minor role.
Long-term active file backups (a book, a major time-involved video creation etc.) requires double-active redundancies, preferably a minimum of Time Machine and an autonomous external formatted HD, so there are at least three copies of this data: internal drive, Time Machine, and secondary non-TM HD backup.

How do I access my iphoto library on time machine backup external drive using Lion, originally saved from old computer and system

how do I access my iphoto library on time machine backup external drive using Lion, originally saved off old computer and system. It's not letting me open the folder???

How do I clone an external disk using CCC?

I have a MacBook Air and because it has only 256 GB and I need about three times that space for storing movies, document files etc., I use an external hard disk to keep these files on.
I formatted this disk using Mac Extended Journal but I did not put the Snow Leopard Operating System on it. I just move files from the computer's hard drive to the disk as required.
I had a scare once where the data on another external hard disk was wiped out because of a faulty USB cord. All the movies were lost and I could not recover the data. The disk also failed to mount. This problem kept happening several times. When I got rid of the faulty USB cord, the external disk mounted and I never lost data again. I am certain all the problems were due to the faulty USB cord. I have been using the same external disk ever since and it has been working fine with the non-faulty USB cord so I am sure it didn't have anything to do with the disk and it was the USB cord that was the problem. I used the same faulty USB cord with other external disks and the same problems arose - failure to mount etc.
This is the background for why I want to make a copy of this external drive. I don't want to lose the movies and other data on this disk if something goes wrong again and want everything on another disk just in case.
I usually use Carbon Copy Cloner to make backups. But that is with a external disk that has OS 10.6.8 on it.
I really don't want to put OS 10.6.8 on the external drive where I store movies and other over-spill data on it.
How do I go about making a copy of this external disk using CCC (or using another program if CCC won't work for this)?
I have two USB ports on my MBA. I prefer to use CCC over SuperDuper because I had a problem with SuperDuper in the past.

So as I understand it, CCC will clone any disk to any disk so long as it's formatted to Mac (extended Journal) and I don't have to put the Mac operating system on the disks that I am copying from and copying to?
Thanks for answering.

If I replace my old iMac with a new one can I burn DVDs on an external drive using Mountain Lion or Toast?

My 2006 iMac is getting a bit long in the tooth and I was thinking of replacing it with a new one. However, Mac have not included an optical drive and I back up my photographs on DVD as well as external hard drives. I also supply DVDs of my work to friends etc.
Will I be able to burn to an external drive using Mountain Lion or other software such as Toast? Does the burn option still exist on the new machines?

Hello,
You shouldn't have any problem, if you do just try Burn...

Error while loading external data using Business Content

Hi,
I am new to BW and I'm stuck up with this problem.
I'm trying to load data from external file using business content cube(0PUR_C01)and infosources(2LIS_02_ITM/S012/SCL).
I first installed the above mentioned cube and data sources.
Then I activated the update rules and transfer rules, without any changes.(I don't know what changes might be required!)
Monitor is showing successful load but the cube has 0 enteries.
Even the simulation of update is showing data in the data target.
Can someone please guide me through this ?
Its really urgent....
Thank you all in advance.

Hi Sharmistha,
Welcome to SDN !! Does your monitor shows any records extracted till PSA ? Go to the details tab -> processing and click on each node to check what monitor shows.
Hope it helps.
Thx,
Soumya
