Single-sourcing: Deleted content in FM source not reflected in RH update

I discovered today that, when I delete content in my linked FM source, the same content is not deleted or even marked as 'changed' or anything in the RH update!
In one situation, I deleted an entire chapter but the topic wasn't deleted.
In another, I deleted a section of a chapter, but the section wasn't deleted from the topic. In both cases, I saved the changes in FM before running the update in RH.
Is this a known but undocumented feature? Did I miss a setting somewhere? Is there a fix or update?
It pretty much invalidates the whole purpose of 'linking and updating.'
Win 7, TC3.

Bizarre. With another linked book, the deleted FM content was deleted from the RH project. I can't figure out why it worked with one book and not the other.

SAP HCM Module - Deleted PERNER in R/3 not reflected in BI

Hi All,
I am working in HCM Module, where most the loads used are full loads. I am facing one problem that whenever a PERNER is deleted from R/3 , it does not get reflected in BI (0EMPLOYEE) i.e the deleted employee still remains in BI as the load is full, to avoid this I had to refresh the entire transaction & master data & again reload the data so that the deleted PERNER does not appear, this process is very time consuming.
Are there any alternative available to avoid this issue?..is any flag gets maintained in table when a PERNER is deleted from R/3?..
Kindly help.....
Thanks & Regards
Indraneel

I have seen this question surface several times in SDN.
PERNR's should not be deleted from the R/3 system but rather delimited and "deactivated" by a personnel action so that their employment status shows up as Inactive with the delimited time period. Then they come over into BW as Inactive and usually will not show up on any more staffing reports unless the users are looking for Inactive employees. This is a best practice in the R/3 system.
Otherwise, you are stuck with drops/reloads of the Data Target and Master Data (if possible). However, 0EMPLOYEE is used everywhere in the HR content in BI so it's difficult to clean up the master data after the employee has been loaded since the SID would get tied up in all the data targets that have the data for that employee.
Hope this helps!

AOL: deleted mail on laptop is not reflected in iTouch mail

My wife will read HER AOL e-mail on her iTouch when she is out at the office. Then later when she is home she will read her AOL e-mail via her MacBook and THEN delete messages from AOL via her main account. Yet, when she updates the mail on her iTouch the list of e-mails visible on the iTouch does not change (sync?) to reflect the deletions that she made on her MacBook. Plus it says she has something like nearly 100 messages to download?!?
I have set-up my sbcglobal account to remove e-mails from their server ONLY when it is downloaded onto my G4 at home - all other remotely accessed e-mail stays on the server until such time as I read those saved e-mails from home and then they are expunged but saved on my computer at home. I assume there is a similar setting for AOL: that is - keep everything on their server but only REMOVE it from their server when it is downloaded at home.
Or is this more of a fundamental set-up issue with the mail account on the iTouch?

You are correct in assuming that you can set the iPod to leave messages on the server. I do it all of the time.
To change the e-mail settings got to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Account Name > Advanced. You will see a setting "Delete from server" option that you can set to what you need.
This is correct as long as you are dealing with a pop account. If AOL mail is imap, then deleting items on the touch results in inbox items being deleted on the server.
Mail syncing on the touch via iTunes does not sync messages, however. Your wife will have to delete messages on her touch after she reads them. The only way around this, at least currently, is to use Apple's Mobile Me system.

Logic for Deletion of a row is not reflecting in DEV instance

Hi ,
I have a method in AM attached to a Search screen which has logic to delete rows from 3 different VOs.
1. VO for selecting the rows from Details table.
2. VO for selecting the rows from Master table.
3. VO for holding the rows of results tables.
The results table displays rows from both master table and details table. On selecting a row for delete in results table , the remove() method is being called to remove rows from the three VOs in the same order mentioned above.
This logic works perfectly in my local setup. The commit was initially not getting recognized. So , we included the line "JDBC\:processEscapes=true" after which delete and commit started working fine in my local setup.
But the same code does not work in the DEV instance. Can anyone please suggest what can be done in such a case.
Thanks,
Chandrika

Deleted records in R/3 not reflected in BW

Hi All,
If a particular record is deleted in R/3 how would that reflect in BW ?
Regards,
Madhavi

Hi,
in case of a ods, it is as Ravi mentioned. You can see the record in the change log, with a before/after image recordmode, setting the value of the keyfigures to 0.
In case of a cube, you can see the record in transaction listcube if you add the request id to the output of the transaction. There you will see two records, the original one and the deletion with inverted keyfigures which sum up to 0.

Outlook 2010 - Updates To Meeting Not Reflecting on Invitee's Calendar

Hello -
Our environment is Exchange 2007 with Outlook 2010 client. Our executive assistant has full access permissions to our CEO's Exchange account and handles the calendar among other things. For some reason, when she creates a calendar event then makes changes
to it or deletes it, the changes do not reflect on the calendars of the invitees. I verified that she is following the correct steps to create/update events but the problem persists for some recipients; not all.
If someone could offer some guidance about what might be root cause, I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi,
According to your description, I understand that the meeting updates which is sent by the user who has full access permission to CEO’s mailbox can’t update some attendees’ calendars.
Please check whether there is any user using third-party devices to manage Calendar. If it is, please disable it. We can try to remove full access permission to CEO’s mailbox and add it back to have a try. If it fails, please consider to add the executive
assistant as a delegate for CEO. To do it, please following these steps:
1. Open Outlook in CEO’s computer, click File > Account Settings > Delegate Access.
2. Click Add to select the assistant, and Delegate Permissions for assistant window appears.
3. CEO can set folder permission for assistant and check “Delegate receive copies of meeting-related messages send to me”.
4. Click OK to finish settings.
Then check whether the issue persists.

RH9 - Can I restore layouts in "Single Source Layouts" pod from .ssl files?

RH 9 (latest)
Windows 7 x64
Due to some corruption somewhere in our main help project that prevented me from generating layouts using the RoboHelp command line (rhcl.exe), I deleted my .xpj file and .cpd file, and then recreated the .xpj project file from the .hhp file. This is the recommended fix to get things back to normal that I did two years ago when I got this same error. (For info, see Command line generation errors in log. How do I fix this?)
However, as expected, all my single source layouts are now missing from the Single Source Layouts pod. Is there a way to recreate the single source layouts from the .ssl files so they appear back in the pod with their previous settings? Like a way to re-import then into the project? I have 36 individual ssls just for printable output alone that I spent creating all day last Friday (1 per chapter), I really do NOT want to manually recreate them.
A related question is, where does RH store the link between xpj and ssl layouts? Because when I checked the xpj inside Notepad++ prior to deleting it, there weren't any references to the individual single source layout files there; I don't understand how deleting an xpj file removes references to the ssls when the .ssl files obviously still exist in the project folder.

I'm not at a Rh machine to check where the link is stored but this should work.
Move the old layouts from the project.
Recreate layouts with the same character perfect names. Leave default settings.
With Rh closed, open them in a text editor. Do the same with the old files
and copy the content across.
Backups everywhere of course.

Robohelp 9 Compiler/Single Source Layouts are dead

Hi
We are using Robohelp 9 on Windows 7 and after working on the same project for 2 years now, all of a sudden, the project will not close down without crashing it from the Task Manager, and also we select compile HTML file and it just does nothing.
We cannot compile any single source layout. We also cannot create a new single source layout - system just ignores all commands.
We tried deleting part of the project - thinking it was maybe too big, but that is not the case.
We tried copying the project to another computer thinking maybe the installation is corrupt.
We also tried deleting the cpd - no luck.
Can anyone put light on this matter - why do these things always happen just before a deadline?
Thank you
Melanie

First we need to ascertain if this is machine or project specific?
Did the copy work OK on the other machine?
What happens with one of the sample projects on the problem machine? Click Open on the RoboHelp Starter page and then click Samples in the ribbon on the left.

Single sourcing

I use Framemaker 10 and am evaluating the best way for me as the lone writer to set up single sourcing. It looks as if I have two choices: conditional text and text insets. First--is that assumption right?
I read where a writer did not like text insets, which I have used a couple of years ago using structured Frame. That seemed easier to me from my experience, but this writer perferred conditional text.
What are other's experiences? Is one more of a problem than another?
Do I need to use structured Frame, or can I use unstructured?
Thanks
Pam

I'm pretty rusty on structured FM, but IIRC, one or more of the highest-level elements, perhaps doctype, can control the behavior of lower-level elements. I'm not sure the inclusion/exclusion of content, similar to conditional text, is controllaable this way. Lots of folks on this forum can clarify this.

Hi Pam,
Conditional text and text insets are the two primary tools for single sourcing. You can also share FrameMaker files across books. I do that myself and it works fine as long as you are careful with cross references.
That writer was very confused about the purpose of text insets. Text insets and conditional text are not subsitutes for one another, they are complements to one another. Each one serves a different purpose. You use one, or the other, or both based on the use case.
A text inset is a FrameMaker file that you import by reference into another FrameMaker file. A text inset can contain an arbitrary amount of content that includes but is not limited to text, graphics, and XREFs.
Conditional text is text shown or hidden depending on the audience that sees the content. For example, you may have document that goes to people on Windows OS and Linux OS, so you may apply conditional text to OS specific information. This allows you to hide Windows content and show Linux content when publishing for the Linux audience.
You use text insets when you want to use the same content in multiple places in a book or books. You use conditional text when you need to publish the same book to different audiences and you need to only show audience specific information. You can for example apply conditional text to a text inset because that single sourced content may only be appropriate for a particular audience.
I personally use all of the above: text insets, conditional text, and sharing framemaker files across books. Personally, I find that conditional text is much more tricky to use based on how it needs to be applied because you can easily show or hide something that you did not intend. Definitely turn on your paragraph marks so you can make sure the conditional text is applied to the paragraph pilcrows.
I manage a documentation set of 3,000 pages, 40 documents, 2 products, and six product editions. The text insets and conditional text are good enough for me.
There's nothing about structured FrameMaker that I know of that will help you with single sourcing that unstructured FrameMaker cannot do.

Mapping is inserting multiple records from a single source to Dimension.

Hi All,
I am very new to OWB. Please help me out. I've created Dimension with the help of the wizard and then a mapping which consist of single source and single dimension. The mapping is populating nearly 500 times of the actual records. Following are some details to give you a better understanding of mapping: I created a dimension with four levels and two hierarchy. Levels are L1, L2, L3 and L4 and hierarchies are H1-> L1, L2 and L4
and H2-> L3 and L4. L4 is lowest level of hierarchy. L1 and L3 are parent levels in the respective hierarchies. I assigned an attribute of each level as Business identifier that means business identifier attribute is different in each level. In mapping I mapped the parent natural key(Key for parent Level in a hierarchy) as the value which has been mapped for parent level. The result is coming 500 times of the record that exist in source table. I've tried even single common business identifier for each level but again the result is 5 times of the records. Please let me know the solution.
Thanks is advance.
Amit

Hi ,
You may not be having multiple records in your dimension.
To understand better the records insertion, try a snow flake version of the dimension and see how the records are inserted as per the levels in the respective tables.
Thanks

Remote mx:Model source not refreshing

Hi,
I'm working on a little project, which involves an <mx:List> object being populated by an <mx:Model>. This Model takes a remote XML file as a source.
However, when I update the XML file, the only way to get the List object to take the new data is to recompile the application. Obviously, I don't want to have to recompile for every update to the XML file, as there will be quite a lot in future.
Does anyone know how I can get Flex to not cache the XML file?

Multiple Destination Workbooks link to single source workbook - data dissappearing

We have a sales reporting system set up with ~30 Destination Workbooks that pull all of their data directly from
a single Source Workbook - using vlookup formulas (with full path name references to the Source Workbook).
When we open two or more of these Destination Workbooks at a time without opening the Source Workbook – or enabling data connections or links – all of the vlookup data disappears from all but the most recently opened Destination Workbooks.
The only work-around we have found for this is to open the Destination Workbooks in separate instances of Excel. This method is not practical for our analytical needs.
Is there any different way to have data visible in more than one Destination Workbook in a single instance of Excel that are vlookup-ing from a single Source besides re-structuring the entire setup?

Hi,
I tested with a simple source Workbook closed from my side, I was able to perform Vlookup from more than 3 destination Workbook without any issues.
To better assisting you on this, I will need some more information:
What is your Excel version, 2013/2010 or others?
How do your Vlookup be used, do you mind sharing me a sample through mail to: [email protected]
Does this working before? If so, what has been changed?
How do users get access to that source file?
Is there firewall settings on the share location of the source file?
Please update me with above information, so I can check further, thank you.

How can I use single source images in text?

I'm using RoboHelp HTML 11, and I want to use single source images of icons in text, so that I have the ability to update the source image, as needed, and all instances of the image are updated automatically. The look is as follows:
I've tried snippets, but they force a paragraph return in the text which I don't want.
I tried inserting the source code for an image into a variable, but when I inserted the variable into the text, I got an error message in the text.
Is there a way to use variables to do this or some other method?
Thanks.

HI there
The one possible drawback to this approach would be if the image size changes. You *MAY* find that saving a different sized image and replacing one would result in perhaps needing to visit each instance of the image and right-clicking and choosing "Reset Size".
I'm not sure why your variable failed with the image. Generally, it's simple to insert an image into the variable. I typically start the process by typing something like "XX" as the variable value. Then in the UDV pod, select the XX and replace it with the desired image.
Cheers... Rick

Single Source JavaHelp Missing

I've created a project using RoboHelp HTML 7 and have the
WebHelp Single Source output as my primary output. The application
developer wants the JavaHelp output, but I don't have that
available in my Single Source Layout as a choice. It is available
in my RoboHelp Word 7 though.
Any ideas how to add it to RoboHelp HTML? I don't want to
have to copy the project to RoboHelp Word, just to output for
JavaHelp.
Thanks!

Welcome to our community, Cathy
You will need to install the Java Development Kit (I think
that's the name) and you will need to right-click the Single Source
Layouts area and choose to add a new layout. When you add a new
layout, you should see the option for JavaHelp.
I think it's not there by default because so few folks use
it. WebHelp is really a better way to go.
Cheers... Rick

Single source for different online help guides

I am glad that the single source layout pod in RH7 supports
different channels.
I also need to output to different online webhelps using
shared topics. This is what should be called single source.
Is it the best practice to create a set of taylored and
overlapping TOCs for a related set of online helps?
My working environment consists of a single software product
with different user interfaces for different types (and levels) of
users. For each type of interface, a different webhelp is mounted.
How can I make sure that the online help title displayed in
the web help browser tab is the correct one for each variation of
the online help?

Single source is anything that lets you get more than one
output from one source, be those outputs ten different webhelp
outputs or just one and a printed document output.
You can have as many webhelp outputs as you can manage. Right
click and add new ones or copy existing ones as a base.
Best practice depends on your content. You can have different
TOCs for each output or you can have a smaller number and apply
conditional tags. So with say 10 outputs you could have just three
or four TOCs and apply conditional tags to vary them. It's whatever
works best for you and can be understood by anyone you work with.
The scenario you describe would be ideal for the way RH
works.
The title bar and browser tab take their text from the
Project Title in Project Settings so you will need to change that
for each output.
