Using Robohelp 7 over Citrix

I have seen a few threads about using a Citrix server, but haven't actually this question answered, so here it is.
We have plans to use all of our applications over a Citrix server as remote users. The powers that be want to install Robohelp on the Citrix server instead of on our hard drives. We would log into the server and pull it from there to work and update, then publish from there. My understanding was that it needed to be on the hard drive, then it could be published to whereever it needed to be published to. Will it work if it's not actually on the machine, but on a remote server?
We are using Robohelp 7 HTML and we have one very large project (almost 8000 topic pages) and 2 smaller ones. The published project is accessed over network drives and we do use RoboSource Control 3 Explorer. I don't have more details about the Citrix server that we will be using, just trying to get a feel for this to see if it's even possible to make it work this way.
Thanks,
Tracy

Apart from whether or not RoboHelp will work on Citrix, which I doubt, I believe it is a breach of the licence which is a per user licence. As Jeff says, you need to check with Adobe.

Adobe Photoshop cs6 over citrix, Image Issue

HI Guys,
I am Citrix Tech, could you please help or suggest me in get this issue sorted. we have published Adobe Photoshop CS6 over Citrix which uses ICA protocol. When user launches the application and opens a image it loads with Blue coat color over the image.

Thanks for the update, yes initial checks reveals it is something to deal with Citrix. I was able to open the same image fine locally on Server, but when accessd via citrix it comes with Blue color.
As of now Citrix have advised to have Citrix Roll pack 05 to be installed.
Will update if that fixes

Robohelp 9, Citrix, and TFS, a good combination?

Hi,
We are using RoboHelp 9 installed in a Citrix environment, using Team Foundation Systems (TFS) as a version control system.
Some users of RoboHelp lose their Recent projects list everytime they log off the system and log back in. They also lose all information about the TFS server and have to go through the whole process of linking to a TFS server and getting back their workspace everytime they want to open a project after they've logged off their system.
The exact same configuration works well for some users, wheras they do not loose their recent projects list nor their connection information with TFS whether they log off their system or not.
Any ideas where the problem lies?
Thanks

Rh10 is cool with having projects on a server, not Rh10 itself. My understanding too is this is a breach of the licence agreement as it is sold on a one user per licence basis.

Problems generating WebHelp output using RoboHelp X5

Hello,
I have been using RoboHelp X5, build 606 since last 2 weeks. I am facing problems with the generation of WebHelp output, when I generate and publish the project, it does not give me the Index and TOC. I have taken over the project from another author and when I compare the new Published Help folder with the previous author's work, I see some missing files. Could anyone from the group please help me resolve this issue?
Thanks!

Two possibilities from that information.
1] Is the D drive a partition on your hard disk or a network drive? RoboHelp projects must be run from your hard disk.
2] The more likely is that RH is not properly installed. When the previous author left, was RH uninstalled and reinstalled using your login? For X5 it must be installed using your login? Also you need local admin rights both to install and use it.
My guess is this is all to do with X5 not having been installed with your login and with you having local admin rights.
This will lead to another problem. X5 can no longer be activated. The solution to that is on my site. See Snippet 100.

10g forms and report over citrix

hi,
is citrix meta frame certified by oracle for 10g AS delivery over ICA? kindly advise how 10g AS works on top of citrix, my customer wants only citrix.
thanks

hi , you are right for 6i and 9i, what about 10g AS, one of our customer wants to publish on citrix for less bandwidth usage,
citrix using shaping technique for ICA client, which means if ICA takes 22K per connection means, it wont burst beyond 22K but oracle application server is busting beyond 16K, sometime this is causing other user activity.
i would like to know whether 10g AS delivery over Citrix metaframe is certified by oracle?

Is it possible to publish photoshop over Citrix

Hi,
A customer wants to publish photoshop Cloud over Citrix.
1 - Is it possible ?
2 - What are the requirements ? (memory, socket, hard drive speed, chipset, graphic card etc...)
3 - Is there a document or sheet paper on this subject ?
Thanks for your help.

Try:
http:://yourserver:8008/calendars/locations/room123/calendar/
You may prefer to use https and port 8443. Also you will be required to authenticate as a user who has valid read access to the calendar data.

Attempting to use SSL over RMI from a web application to a RMI server

Hi,
I am attempting to use SSL over RMI to a server. The client is the web
application that is hosted on WebLogic and that attempts to connect to the
server. There is no client or server verification at either the client or
the server end. The code works outside of WebLogic 7/8 but has the following

I don't see anything that indicates SSL was directly a factor in the
failure.
From the exception stack it looks like a more basic connectivity issue,
maybe the URL for the
RMI server is incorrect for some reason or the server was down.
It looks like you are doing something like this:
SSL client -> WLS server with servletA, servletA RMI client
(com.hyperion.css) -> RMI server
The connection failure appears to be the connection from servletA RMI client
to the RMI server.
Is that a correct picture?

Is there a limit for external links in TOC using RoboHelp 9.2?

Hi,
This is my first time posting to the Adobe forums. Here is my problem.
I have been maintaining help projects using RoboHelp 9.2 for quite some time now to generate WebHelp. I now have four large projects that are linked through a URL in each project's TOC. Example: I have projects A B C D. In A's TOC, I include a link to B C D default topics. In B's TOC, I include a link to A C D default topics. And so on ... The fourth project (D) is new.
The problem I've encountered is with the image appearing in the TOC next to the external link entry for project D in the generated WebHelp. The image showing up for project D is different from the other two, even though the properties for that page are exactly the same as the other two. This happens in all three remaining projects (A B C). Even when I change the image (from the image index), the same image (i.e. the standard image for a topic page) appears regardless.
What should appear in all cases is image 13.gif.
(I'll have to figure out later why 19.gif is selected in the properties dialog, whereas 13.gif is actually showing up in WebHelp. Doh.)
Any ideas?
thanks,
denise

1-Time machine seems to be coming up often in the discussions.If my backup is on my external hard drive, why would space be taken up on my macbook hard drive?
Read the first extract for the definition of backup snapshots and how they are handled by the OS.
2-Shoud I delete older backups? If for example, all I need from Time Machine is the latest backup done today, can I get rid of the 2+ yeras of backups, or do they not take up that much space?
No. Time Machine should be on a separate HDD and will take care of deleting backups when necessary on that drive.
3-Back to the issue, considering I don't have access to a an apple store for the next few months, what is my best plan of action?
I would consider installing a larger internal HDD. Capacities to 1 TB are now available.
4-I am considering buying a new macbook 15inch, and get more space, however, I'm scared that the same problem will happen again. Is this common on all macs? Will using Time Machine to "Restore" my backups bring along the issues as well?
All Macs using Time Machine will experience the same conditions. The problem is that many users do not under stand what 'Other' is and that leads to confusion. There are many essential OS files in that category that should not be touched as well as some user files. The issue is not to reduce 'Other' as such, but reduce the total amount of data on the HDD if space is becoming a premium.

This is a bit of information for folks that use Robohelp for Word.

I know this is all a day late and a follar short but for those folks that still use Robohelp for Word:
If your company is going to Windows 7, X5 will not work. You need to bump it up to at least RH8.
Even after you upgrade, if you use the tripane (winhelp_2000) view in RH for Word, it will not work on Windows 7 even with the microsoft patch. With the patch it will look like an older version of RH in winhelp_4. At least I have not been able to get it to display.
What will work is if you compile it in Webhelp. You will loose some links. I know I should be moving to Robhelp Html and I tried, but when I did that I got a lot of garbage at the top of all my topics, I lost all my external links and I would have to retrain my partner...
Now about links. My only complaint about Robohelp for Word was it's limited external linking capacity. If you use RH for Word you know you can only brouse to the net or to an htm or html document. It doesn't mean you can't link to a PDF or an excel spread sheet. You just can't brouse to it. You can manually enter the path. I just changed 740+ htm links to pdf links (pdf in same file as htm and the names were the same except for extension) and it worked. If you intend to try this back up.
Anyway, if this helps anyone great..if not thanks for letting me babble. I like my Robohelp for Word in Webhelp format.
Peggy Theo.

Thanks for posting this Peggy.
It is worth adding that there is another way of continuing to work with Word - using Linked Documents in RoboHelp HTML. You create Word documents entirely independent of RoboHelp and then create topics by linking those documents in a RoboHelp HTML project.
You cannot create WinHelp that way but WinHelp is on life support and requires users to download a viewer, you cannot distribute it. It really is time to move on from WinHelp.
RoboHelp for Word is not getting much development and does not get the new features being added to RoboHelp HTML.
Linking is covered on my site.

What are the limitations of using RMI over http with EJB?

We have a requirement for an intranet application where the majority of the clients
(Swing clients) will be able to connect directly using either T3 or IIOP. However,
there are a number of clients that will need to traverse a firewall.
We could use SOAP, but I dont want to lose the value that RMI gives us (clustering,
security, statefullness support etc). I am thinking of using RMI over http - which
Weblogic supports.
I have been trying to find some documentation on the topic - but havent succeded
so far. What I would like to understand is: What limitations I would have using
RMI over http. Do I lose anything (apart from performance) using http?

You will have to enable tunneling on the server side and I have not heard of any
complaints of using it.

The biggest problem with the approach of Applets like
stuff connecting to weblogic is the size of the classes that need to
be supplied to the
users. The applets/swing would need a lot of weblogic classes which you
need to
supply as jar file. This file can be in the order of MBs depending on
the
weblogic version. we had a similar kind of problem and migrated the applets
to use
servlets instead of directly invoking ejbs or jms topics etc. Having
the applets
connect
to servlets you would still benefit from the features of clustering etc.
and added to
that
you would reduce the number of remote calls.

Help needed in using Facetime over cellular network on Ipad2 3G IOS6

i updated my Ipad2 3G to IOS6, as they mentioned that i will be able to use facetime over cellular network,
however everytime i try it over the network, it says i must connect through Wifi. any help!!

Facetime over 3G is currently only available on the iPad 3, not the iPad 2 - from http://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/ :
3. FaceTime video calling requires a FaceTime-enabled device for the caller and recipient and a Wi-Fi connection. FaceTime over a cellular network requires iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, or iPad (3rd generation) with cellular data capability.

How to use SQL OVER and PARTITION BY in OBIEE Expression Builder??

Hi there,
I want to create a new logical coulmn with the following SQL query.
SUM(Inventory Detail.Qty) OVER(PARTITION BY Inventory Detail.A,Inventory Detail.B,Item.C,Inventory Detail.D,MyDATE )/SUM(Inventory Detail.Qty) OVER(PARTITION BY Inventory Detail.A,Inventory Detail.B,Item.C )
How to use the OVER and PARTITION BY in OBIEE Expression Builder??
Thanks in Advance

hi bipin,
We cant use by in Expression builder(rpd) .But use the same formula like this in Fx of answers
SUM(Inventory Detail.Qty) OVER(PARTITION BY Inventory Detail.A,Inventory Detail.B,Item.C,Inventory Detail.D,MyDATE )/SUM(Inventory Detail.Qty) >OVER(PARTITION BY Inventory Detail.A,Inventory Detail.B,Item.C )SUM(Inventory Detail.Qty by Detail,ITEM,Mydate)/SUM(qty by detail,item)
First check the numerator whether it was giving correct results or not then go with denominator
compare the results with sql that u have
Let me know if that does work
