Seeking info on using RoboHelp 9 with ClearCase 8.0

My company is planning to use RoboHelp 9.0 to develop a help file for a custom application. We are obligated to use ClearCase 8.0 as the version control software for the RoboHelp files. We plan to have multiple authors for a single RoboHelp project. They will need to work on the project at the same time, although not the same topic. I am seeking help in four areas:
What is the best way to set up ClearCase and RoboHelp so that ClearCase can be used as the version control software for RoboHelp projects?
What is the best way to upload a new RoboHelp project to ClearCase?
What is the best way to check out RoboHelp files from ClearCase that will allow multiple authors to work on different topics of the same project at the same time?
What is the best practice to check in the updated files?
Thanks in advance for any insights you can provide.

Hi,
Does ClearCase support the Microsoft MSSCCI provider? If it does, you should be able to use ClearCase with RoboHelp. You would need to install the MSSCCI provider and the version control client. You can add the project to source control from within the project itself.
The RoboHelp Developer center has a few articles about adding RoboHelp to different version control systems, although ClearCase is not described. But the articles will give you an idea of what you need to do to make it work. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/robohelp.html

Using RoboHelp with Flex

Does anybody know how to use RoboHelp with Flex? I'm a Flex
developer and am new to RoboHelp, and am trying it out to create
some online help for my Flex application. I've searched, and also
tried a couple of tutorials, but so far I haven't found anything
about how to combine the two. Thanks.

The issue is the calling of the help from Flex so I wonder if
you might do better asking this question on the Flex forums?

Why doesn't apple tv show song info while using pandora with AirPlay?

Why doesn't apple tv show song info while using pandora with AirPlay?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I'm not really familiar with Pandora but I assume it's an audio app and the app places text on screen to inform you of the current track playing.
As an audio app, it seems to make sense it will stream audio over AirPlay, which doesn't include text of course. For that matter the text is also unlikely to be a video stream either, just to cover the possibility you ask why can't they stream it over AirPlay as video.

Can we use RoboHelp with Eclipse as version control?

Im am using RoboHelp 7 in the Tech Comm Suite in a Windows XP environment.
I see a lot of information on using RoboSource as versionn control, but I'm not seeing a lot of information on other third-pary version control software. I did see one posting that suggested that if you are planning to use third-party software, you should uninstall RoboSource first. I can't seem to figure out the following:
How do you determine if your version control (Eclipse) supports Microsoft SCC API?
How do you get RH to recognize Eclipse? Even though I uninstalled RoboSource Control 3, it still shows up in the Select Version Control Provider
Are there step-by-step instructions anywhere that show how to get RoboHelp to recognize third-party software?
As always, thanks for your assistance.

Colum,
Thanks for recommending that I visit Peter's web site. It has a great page on Eclipse. Wish I had read it before I was shoved kicking and screaming into using it. However, it did stop short of providing me with information to troubleshoot the problems I'm having with Eclipse and RH 7. I sent him an e-mail from the site and hope that he will be able to answer it.

Need Info about using Strut with WL 7.0

I want to find out how to use it with WL 7.0. Would anyone give me any info about it? :) Thanks


You could download and deploy "struts-example.war" from apache website.
          [That Struts 1.0.2 I think.]

RoboHelp and ClearCase integration

Hi,
Could anybody suggest me the steps or provide url on how to
integrate RoboHelp with ClearCase?
What i am looking for:
Open the RH project from ClearCase.
Modify the files.
Save the modified project back to ClearCase
Pls suggest...

I don't think "integration" is possible; perhaps "detente" is
the best to hope for. I'd run some tests with copies of your
project first, especially if multiple writers are involved. Also,
for a RoboHelp project, do not add the HHP, CPD, PSS, and LDB files
to source control.
The process for any source control product is this:
1) Your IT peeps assign licensed privileges to you.
2) You create a directory in source control that will map to
your project directory.
3) You add your source files to source control.
4) You check out files, edit them, and check them in.
5) When you add files in your project, add them in source
control.
6) When you delete files in your project, you normally delete
them from source control first.
7) Generate your output to an entirely different directory
(not the default !SSL! directory under the project). Actually, I
recommend this whether using source control or not!
Good luck,
Leon

Validity date of condition records (creation of info records using LSMW)

Hello gurus,
we would like to create info records using LSMW with one condition record (PB00). This works fine, we just are not able to influence the validity of the condition record, it's always "creation date until 31.12.9999".
We tried to maintain the fields BKONP-DATAB and BKONP-DATBI, but that did not change anything.
Any ideas on this?
Thanks
Alicia

Hello Jürgen
and thank you!
One additional question: When I import info records using LSMW, one condition record (PB00) is created automatically. Is it possible to change the validity of that condition record using LSMW, too? Or can I only create new condition records?
Thanks again
Alicia

What additional software requirements are needed when using Captivate with RoboHelp?

Hello,
I use RoboHelp HTML 6 & 8 for developing online manuals for our government business. We are currently exploring eLearning options for our training needs, and I am considering the idea of implementing Captivate features (PP slides, simulations, animations) directly into the manuals. We would not need the collaborative/review aspects of Captivate, so I believe we wouldn't need to purchase Adobe Air additionally. However, would anyone be willing to give me the lowdown on what additional software either I would need as a developer, or end-users would need (Adobe Flash, I assume) if we decided on Captivate? Would we need addtional software (Connect Pro/ LMS) to publish the Captivate content?
I have conducted an extensive online search and explored the forum threads with some success, but there is a lot of convoluted information out there!
Thanks in advance for your help!!

Hi there
Speaking as one who regularly combines Captivate and RoboHelp...
Unless you really want some functionality that Captivate alone simply does not provide, you really shouldn't need any additional software whatsoever. You record the eLearning bits in Captivate, then you use that content in your RoboHelp projects.
Are you seeking to host things in a Learning Management System (LMS)? If so, you probably should abandon the thought of RoboHelp, as it serves a bit of the functionality the LMS would provide.
Note that AIR is a functionality similar to the Flash Player or the PDF Reader. It is free for the taking by the end user. There is nothing one would need to purchase. Now if you want to *AUTHOR* something in AIR, that's a different story. RoboHelp HTML version 8 will produce an AIRHelp output. But it sounds to me that you may be somewhat unfamiliar with what AIR gives you. So here's the skinny.
If you were to produce AIRHelp output from RoboHelp, you end up with a .AIR file that each of your end users must *INSTALL* just as they would have to install an application. That's just to view the help. Prior to installing your AIR output, they would also need to first *INSTALL* the AIR viewer. So if they had no AIR capability whatsoever, they would need to perform two different installs. One of the AIR runtime, and a second of your AIR output. Additionally, creating the AIR output will also require a digital certificate. Now RoboHelp will allow you to create one, but it's an untrusted certificate and the end user will be forced to acknowledge whether they wish to continue installing with an untrusted certificate.
Anyhoo, hopefully that helps you with at least some of what you were looking for.
Cheers... Rick

Using RoboHelp 8 style sheet with RoboHelp 9

Howdy. My issue:
I was using RoboHelp 8 at work to craft a web help document out of a Word file. We have a company CSS we apply to web help for look, feel, etc. It worked in RoboHelp 8, but not in 9 despite following the same Word Import procedure. Needed to upgrade to RH9 because RH8 was not recognizing our version of Word to compile and create the web help files.
How can I make my old style sheet work with RH9? Is there some step I'm missing? Help appreciated with 20.1 bazillion thank yous in advance.

Hi there
First we need to know what type of string you are using and obtain an exact measurement.
I'm joking, of course, but the fact here is, we need more information. Things like:
You said "...despite following the same Word Import procedure.". What are the exact steps in said procedure, please?
Note that it's a simple process to ignore any style sheet during the Word import, then later import just the company CSS file and associate it with your topics. All of that can be done in perhaps 30 seconds or so.
Cheers... Rick

How do I back up Contacts on my iPhone 3 I got back in 2008? With MobileMe closing down, is there a way I export my Contacts info to my laptop. Alternately can I use iCloud with an iPhone this old?

How do I back up Contacts on my iPhone 3 I got back in 2008? With MobileMe closing down, is there a way Ican export my Contacts info to my laptop. Alternately can I use iCloud with an iPhone this old?

Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events and notes, or with the address book app used by Windows Mail called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only.
Before syncing contacts with an empty Windows Contacts address book, enter one contact in Windows Contacts. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data which you want to select. Syncing direct with Windows Contacts via the iTunes sync process is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.

I found an old Apple id on a computer I use infreqently with an old Ipod. I have the the Applie ID, but I do not have the password. In addition,my email account has changed since I created this Applie ID. How can I get reset info to new email address?

I found an old Applie ID on a computer I use infreqently with an old IPod. I do not have the password for this AppleID. When I use the procedure to reset the password, I cannot receive the email as my email address has changed from the original used with the Apple ID. How can I get the reset information sent to my current email addres so I can establish a new passwod for this Applie ID?

FR Tecmobility is wrong, sure he means well but what he suggests will not work - signing out of iTunes Store and back in will have no effect on iCloud. Try the steps at iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
You may need to contact apple tech support if none of the password change methods work for you. Ask for Account Security. They will need to verify identity, to ensure you are who you claim to be. If that goes well, they can send a password rest e-mail to any e-mail you desigate, so make sure it is one you can access. Then reset the password. Then you can delete the iCloud account (needs the password to turn off find My Phone/Activation lock)
keep data on phone, then sign in with your desired apple ID. Good luck. hope you get this sorted out.

RoboHelp and Clearcase

Hi,
I want to do the following things:
Add my project files to clearcase
Check out the files from clearcase
Modify/Add files
Check in the files
I added my project files to clearcase, but when i open the
.xpj file RH throws the error message "Open project cancelled.
Unable to load database" and it points to the .cpd file.
I used the information available in this link
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=449&threadid=1306286
which says that you should have hha.dll file. I already have
it. I am able to use RH from my local folders. The problem is only
when i open the project from clearcase. Pls let me know how to
integrate RH with clearcase.

Best practice for any source control product is to not add
these RH files: CPD, HHP, LDB, PSS.
Good luck,
Leon
