Upgrade to RoboSource Control 3

We are in the process of upgrading RoboHelp and RoboSource
Control. We currently are using RSC2 but need to move to RSC3. Is
there an upgrade path to be able to use the existing access db that
we are using for RSC2? I have been searching but cannot find
documentation. A link to documentation or any help would be
appreciated!
Thanks

There is an upgrade path from RSC 2 to 3. You will really
like the stability of SQL Server 2005 (or Express) vs. the old
Access db.
In addition to the documentation that comes with the separate
RSC Explorer app, be sure to check out Matthew Ellision's revised
article just posted on the Adobe Developer Connection. You'll find
it here.

  • Upgrading robosource control from 3.0 to 3.1

    Hi,
    Our doc. group will be upgrading robosource control from 3.0
    to 3.1. I can't find much documentation on this. I know that there
    are both clent and server upgrades for 3.1. Other than running both
    the client and server upgrades, is there anything else that we
    should be aware of or may need to do to complete the upgrade (and
    successfully connnect to our exisitng database)??
    We've already sucessfully upgraded from RH 6 to RH 7.
    Any info. you can provide is appreciated.
    thanks,
    Brad

    There must be loads of people who still use Precision 670s and I fail to understand why Microsoft would block using 8.1 for this model (or its processor).
    Perhaps not.  I had my last Precision 470 (same Dell design era) die late last year (it was running Vista x64 nicely at the time).  I tried to resurrect it but when I opened it up I found the plastic parts just were falling apart.  I finally
    determined the problem to be on the motherboard somewhere and, given the power of modern systems, I just kicked it to the curb and integrated all the duties it was performing into the other systems we have.  The processors in the Precision 470/670
    line are getting near 10 years old.  That's an eternity in modern computing terms.
    As far as failing to understand...  At some point every software author must make a decision whether to continue to build their systems to run on old hardware, or use instructions that only newer hardware supports in order to take advantage of
    the additional power and capability it provides.

  • Checking in a Compiled Help File to RoboSource Control

    We're getting ready to upgrade from RoboHelp X3 to X5 and
    begin using RoboSource Control. I have X5 and RSC installed on a
    test machine and noticed that RoboHelp HTML doesn't appear to
    automatically check in a newly compiled .chm file when I close that
    particular help project. This leads me to believe that the only way
    to check in a newly compiled .chm file is to do so manually from
    within the RoboSource Control explorer program. Could someone
    please confirm this or, if I'm mistaken, describe how to configure
    RoboSource Control/RoboHelp HTML to automatically check in the .chm
    file?
    Thanks!

    RoboSource Control manages all files which are part of a
    RH-project. The compiled CHM is not consiodered part of the
    project. Considering that the source control system allows for
    rollbacks and would have to maintain (nearly) all your compiled
    files to do so, this method makes sense.

  • Installing RoboSource Control 3 Server

    We upgraded to RH7 and installed both RH7 and RoboSource
    Control 3 (Client) on my machine. I found directions on "things to
    do before installing" from Peter Grainge. Among those directions,
    it specified uninstalling the previous version of RH from my
    computer before installing the new version. That all worked out
    okay.
    Now, we need to upgrade the server with RoboSource Control 3
    Server, but I haven't seen any instructions stating the need to
    uninstall the previous version. Is that necessary before installing
    3 or can we install the upgrade on top of it?
    Thanks!
    Jen

    You do not have to uninstall the previous version of
    RoboSource Control first.

  • RoboSource Control 3 support needed

    Greetings,
    I am seeking a resource that can support our documentation
    team in setting up RoboSource Control 3. We are currently upgrading
    to RH7. Version Control has been a recurrent problem for us. I have
    been unsuccessful in locating Adobe Service Partners that provide
    the support we require. Is there anyone monitoring these boards
    that can provide support for RoboSource Control 3 or might know of
    a service provider that can help?
    We are located in NYC.
    Thanks.
    Ross

    If you find someone, I'd be interested in hearing your
    experience. Our tech pubs team has encountered a problem where
    RoboSource Control is converted all mix-cased file names to lower
    case. This is devastating on our project. Now every time a project
    tree is checked out from RSC it is useless.
    Good luck.

  • RoboSource Control 3.1 compatibility with SQL Server R2

    Are there any compatibility issues between RoboSource Control 3.1 and SQL Server 2008 R2?
    We are looking to upgrade the server on which our repository resides.
    Appreciate any input!!

    According to this KB article SQL Server 2008 is not supported. I've also seen similar posts to yours in the past asking whether anyone has got RSC 3.1 to work with SQL Server 2008 but no one responded. To be honest there aren't a huge bunch of RSC users here.

    Hi this is Savana Chandra Shekhar,
    I am working on RoboHelp 9 with RoboSource Control 3.
    Scanario 1: There are two users who want to work on the same project file from different location using RoboHelp  and using version control 3. we have a server located in US and i myself located in India. Now, when i am trying to add or load the Project file in Robosource, i am unable to load or add the project file as the file size is around 160 MB.
    Scanario 2: When i am using "add to version control" option after setting up the connection (By Proving : Connection Name, Server, Port No., Port Type), i am getting the as displayed below. Please refer the Image attached.
    I will be greatful to you if you can please provide some firm solution regarding this issue.
    Thanks

    to database,

    I can.  This is a bug you are seeing we will have fixed in a future release.  You are working in a "Local" form (not an online form) and that "Add submit button" should not be shown at all, that is only for an online form.  If you move your form online when signed in, then it would have a Submit button automatically in Web View and in Page View would be able to be turned on and off.
    Thanks,

  • RoboSource Control Server 3.1 on Windows Server 2008 64-bit?

    I was wondering if anyone has had any success running the RoboSource Control (Server) on Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit.  I experienced two dialog boxes near the end of the install.
    Item has already been added.  Key in dictionary: '_reserved_lastInstallerAttempted'
    Key being added: '_reserved_lastInstallerAttempted'
    and
    The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package.  This may indicate a problem with this package.  The error code is 2869.
    Then, it backs out all the changes it has made, and exits the installer.  At least it fails gracefully ...
    The reason why I ask this is mostly due to the fact that Windows Server 2008 R2 is ONLY issued in 64-bit editions.  There will be no more 32-bit editions.

    Although this post is three years old, I am getting the same problem now (June 2012) trying to install either the Client or Server components on a Windows 7 64-bit system. If anyone out there knows of a solution to this, I'd appreciate a reply.

  • Upgrading Management Agents after upgrading the Grid Control to 10.2..0.5

    Hello:
    I am pretty new to implementing Grid control. I have been assigned the task of upgrading the Grid control to 10.2.0.5. I successfully upgraded the GC to 10.2.0.5. Now the next task is to upgrade the Agents running on other Database nodes. I have 6 databases running on Solaris 9.0 , few of them running on RHEL 5.0 x86, a few of them on RHEL 5.0 86*64. I am looking to upgrade these agents in one shot. Is there any way I can accomplish this from Grid control. If it is the case, then do I have to download and upload the patchsets for 10.2.0.5 for various platforms into the Grid Control.
    I would be very happy if you could give me valid pointers which would help me to understand and move further.
    Regards,
    Bala

    Yes you can upgrade the agent at one shot.Refer the following OBE

  • Errors when try to start RoboSource Control 3.1

    I was just issued a new desktop PC (Windows 7 SP1, 64 bit) at work. I have had to reload all of my software including AdobeTCS 3.5. 
    After installing TCS 3.5, Adobe RoboSource Control 3.1 is a separate folder under the main Adobe folder (Program FIles (x86) > Adobe > Adobe RoboSource Control 3.1).  So it should be "installed."
    I have also downloaded the RoboSource 64 bit fix and copied it into the Adobe RoboSource Control 3.1 folder (renaming the original version of the file). 
    Note that RoboSource Control Server is installed on a separate server machine.
    When I click RSO3Explore.exe to start the app, I first get a message that the Publisher cannot be verified (I select Run), and then I get the message that "RSO3 Explorer Component has stopped Working" and then "RSO3 Middle Tier Server Component has stopped Working".  I am forced to close the program.
    In Task Manager > Processes, I have 2 instances of  "RSO3MiddleTierService.exe *32" running.
    In Task Manager > Services, I have no instance of  "RSO3MiddleTierService.exe *32" running.
    When I run services.msc, I see no instance of any RoboHelp service running.
    I don't know what's wrong..... has anyone else  using RoboSource Control seen this problem?
    Thanks!

    Problem resolved by reinstall.

  • Unable to manually add topics to TOC in RoboHelp 11 when working with RoboSource Control 3.1

    Hello,
    I am working on RoboHelp11 and using RoboSource Control 3.1.  I am facing an issue while making an attempt to manually add new topics to the TOC (drag and drop), the error alert ' 'xxxxxx.hhc cannot be multiply Checked out' and further the alert 'The files in the list below could not be checked out from Version Control. Exclusive access to these files is required to execute the selected action.' appears.  Note that the said project file is checked out only by me and no else in the team has checked it out from source control..
    Can someone provide guidance on how to resolve this issue.

    I am having this same problem.
    Updated itunes to 7.0 on my pC
    Updated 30GB Video ipod's firmware...
    Cound no longer manually sync files to ipod...
    Files start uploading..
    Then 1/2 way through the procedure, itunes says something Like "Updating ipod please wait"
    and a few seconds later just stops with the upload.
    I cant find the uploaded files on the ipod.
    I tried updating itunes to 7.01 - no luck
    I tried restoring my ipod - no luck
    I tried resetting my ipod - no luck
    I tried manually syncing my ipod on a computer with an older version of itunes and everything
    works okay!!!
    So the problem is with itunes 7.0 on the PC
    Please fix this ASAP !!!

  • Which should we use: TFS or RoboSource Control?

    We have two authors working on one project. Our dev team uses TFS. I don't have a preference for which source control solution we use, I just want it to be easy to work on our topics. From the search I've done, it looks like both are accessed from within RoboHelp, but I'm not 100% on that.
    Why should I pick one solution over the other?

    Hi,
    You can use both Source Control systems. If your developers are already using TFS, it might be easier to use that too. For RoboSource control you need to create a new database on a server and connect to that. Why bother if you already have TFS ready to use? Personally, I use TFS because the developers wanted me to use the same source control system as them. Before that I used VSS, but either worked for me. I suspect it will be the same for most other source control systems.
    For more info on using RoboSource control, see: http://www.adobe.com/devnet-archive/robohelp/articles/robosource.html

  • Does Adobe RoboSource Control provide a facility of access restriction on the WebHelp output?

    I need to publish a WebHelp document that can be accessed only by a specific group of people.
    In order to ensure that only the specificied group of people access the document, can it be restricted by aligning it with individual user ID/pwd? Is there any facility provided by RoboHelp/RoboSource Control to restrict access through individual User ID / password?
    - If yes, how can it be implemented?
    - If not, is there any other alternative?
    Some direction would be really helpful. Thank you!

    RoboSourceControl is just a source control application. It certainly does not have the sort of functionality you require. Neither would any source control application. You have some options though.
    Publish your WebHelp to location that can be secured to a specific group of people. Your IT people can help here.
    Purchase a RoboHelp Server licence and output WebHelp Pro rather than WebHelp. RoboHelp Server allows you to restrict access to users with a userid / password.
    If PDF is an option, output to that and secure the PDF file to those with the supplied password.
