Web Interface for RoboHelp for editing on Linux Machines?

I work on the development and support of a software package. We have to deal with the mistakes that will surely crop up in the documentation. Our user's guides are written in Microsoft Word, but as the number of equations and length of the documents increase, they are getting increasingly difficult to manage. In particular, it's difficult to have multiple people edit the documentation and tedious to post updated versions.
We are considering purchasing RoboHelp, however, most of our employees use Linux/Unix machines, but one or two use Window's machines. I see that the requirement for RoboHelp is a windows machine. I'm wondering if we could install it on one of our employees' Windows machines, but then have others edit it through a web interface on their Linux/Unix machines.
Is this possible with RoboHelp?
Thank you for any help you can give. I searched the forums with various search strings before posting, but didn't not find the answer.

If you wanted to edit the HTML files that Rh creates I would say editing them externally is highly likely to give you problems. In the source files Rh is allowed to use PIs (processing instructions) that don't appear in the output but do control how things work. [See UPDATE] Also if you use Rh features, how would you write the code for those? However, you could use Rh to link to those Word files to produce its output. Then whenever you generate the output, it will look at the current version of the Word document and go from there.
I see you are using equations. Do test that they work OK. The trial version is good for one month and is fully functional.
UPDATE - Your external editor would not be able to write these.

Looking for a Web Interface for Editing Data in an Oracle 10g Database

Greetings all!
My organization is implementing Oracle 10g Release 2 Enterprise version. We have an employee who will need to edit data in the database which will hold staff phone numbers, email addresses, and other contact information. This employee will never need to administer the database or develop tables, queries, etc. They will only need to add and remove rows of data and edit text values stored in a database table.
Does Oracle 10g have a built-in, browser-based tool that can be used to edit data in a table via a friendly user interface? If no, can you please recommend an easy to use tool for editing data in an Oracle database?
Thanks for any help you can provide!
Rachel

Justin,
Thanks very much for the tip!
Do you know if Oracle 10g has any kind of built-in tool for editing data? I have heard of "The Vault", but that appears to be a tool for administering database users, reports, etc. I am looking for some kind of tool that shows the data in a grid layout (like Microsoft Excel) and allows someone to edit and save data in that grid. A web-based tool would be best, but a desktop tool (especially if it's already part of Oracle 10g) would also be good.
Thanks again,
Rachel

Best practice: interface for editing documents

Hello
I use IDeveloper 11g 11.1.1.3.0, ADF Faces
I have got a task to create a web interface for editing documents.
Every document have a head and a specification.
Head have a lot of field, and every row in a specification have a lot of fields also.
There are few PL/SQL procedures I need call to save document in the database, and I need to call them in the single transaction for it.
So, I need to fill up all document and only after that save it to the database.
For fill up some of fields I need to use component like List of Values (with autoSuggestBehavior and with selecting value from the list).
There is next question: what is the best practice to develop interface like this?
I had some troubles when I tried to use ADF BC.
May be, there are tutorials?
Will be very thankful for any advices or links.

WEB Interface for Visual Admin

Hi,
I'm told there is a web interface for the visial admin tool which can be launched from the examples section of the j2ee home page.
In order to do this you must first deploy the tool.
I've search the net and marketplace for the tool to download and am unable to find it.
Has anyone else come across this before??
Thanks
Jim

Variable Selection For User in Web Interface for BPS

Hi All,
I've created a manual Input sheet in BPS0 to upload target sales. User need to select the month, plant and then enter the target amount for each category. Its working fine.
Now I need to create web interface for user to upload the data every month. Using BPS_WB I've created the interface (with help of Wizard). I'm getting the input sheet. But I'm not able to get screen where user can select the parameters?
How to get this? It should work like web report, where user select the report variables then execute. Only difference here is user will have to enter the data for selected variable.
Thanks in advance.
Regards: Gaurave

Hi....add the variables to a folder along with the layout. Then create the web interface.

Using default web interface for users

I wish to use the default web interface for my users, I do not have the time to develop a custom app. I wish to get rid of the group and and mount point folders.

CM SDK 9.0.4 (released very shortly) includes the "Web Starter Application". This is a J2EE Web Application with full MVC architecture and completely open source!
You may be able to obtain this application sooner from Oracle Consulting - it will work on the current CM SDK 9.0.3.
JSP and Tag Libraries make up the UI. The controller framework is similar to Jakarta Struts. It offers localization support, ADA compliance etc.
You can easily develop the application from JDeveloper and deploy to 9iAS.

What's the best out-of-the-box web interface for a SQL DB?

I'm developing a Java web application that will be backed by an Oracle database. Users would like a simple web interface that allows them to accomplish what they could with SQL queries without knowing SQL. The basic operations would be:
* displaying a database table in a table format
* downloading the table as a text or Excel file
* customizing the columns in a table display
* displaying a query result set in a table format
* constructing a query using drop-down menus
I'd probably want to program in a simplified UI for a few common queries.
This really looks like functionality someone should have invented before me. Question: what is the right tool for me to be using? I'm surprised I haven't found something by searching.
It looks like I could just directly write JSP, but I think something else might be simpler. I think related functionality exists in Spring, but I didn't find exactly what I'm looking for, and Spring brings a lot of other stuff also. Nothing in my application is more complicated than this, so I'd be happy to keep things simple.
How would you write this?

I wouldn't write it. I would just use Oracle's FREE Apex application which does all of that and more and is fully supported even on Oracle's FREE Express edition data database.

About Application Express
Oracle Application Express (Oracle APEX), formerly called HTML DB, is a fully supported "no-cost" option of the Oracle Database. Oracle Application Express is certified against all editions of the Oracle Database 10.2.0.3 and above, including Oracle Database 10g Express Edition (Oracle XE).
Oracle Application Express installs as part of the seed database installation with Oracle Database 11g.

Browser Based
Using only a Web browser and limited programming experience you can develop data centric applications in minutes. Browser-based development enables you to develop applications on most computers using only a modern Web browser.
Rapid Application Development (RAD)
Use simple wizards and declarative programming to create powerful reporting and data entry applications. You can create applications from spreadsheet uploads, or on existing database tables and views. Oracle Application Express includes SQL Workshop to create and manage the database objects that support your application.
Application Express Components
Application Builder - Database Applications
Application developers use wizards to declaratively assemble applications organized in pages. Page content is organized into regions. Regions can contain text, custom PL/SQL, reports, charts, maps, calendars, web service references or forms. Forms are made up of fields (called items) which can be selected from the multitude of built-in types (such as text fields, text areas, radio groups, select lists, check boxes, date pickers, and popup list of values) or a developer can create their own types using plug-in support. Table update functionality is built-in and PL/SQL can be used to process data. Session state (or application context) is transparently managed and the user interface presentation is separated from the application logic so that the look and feel of an application can be changed simply by selected a different theme.
Application Builder - Websheets
Using Websheet Applications, end users can manage structured and unstructured data without developer assistance. Page sections contain unstructured data and are edited using a WYSIWYG editor. Reports provide access to database data by writing SQL. Data Grids can manage structured data without writing SQL. Adding columns, renaming column, and validations are defined using runtime dialogs. Each page and row of data grid data can be annotated with files, tags, notes, and links. Pages can contain sections as well as reports and data grids and all can be linked together providing navigation. All information is searchable and completely controlled by the end-user.
SQL Workshop
The SQL Workshop provides tools that enable you to view and manage database objects. Object Browser enables you to use a tree control to view object properties and create new objects. The SQL Command tool enables you to enter ad-hoc SQL. Query Builder enables you to create join queries using drag and drop. SQL Scripts enables you to store and run scripts. The Data Workshop enables you to load and unload text, DML, and spreadsheet data.
RESTful Services
RESTful Services allow for the declarative specification of RESTful services mapped to SQL and PL/SQL.
Team Development
Team Development helps manage the life-cycle of an application's development. It provides tracking and management of application features, to do entries, bugs, and end user feedback. Team Development is tightly integrated with the Oracle Application Express Application Builder. For example, edit page lists open feedback, bugs, and to do's.
Administration
Each Oracle Application Express workspace is a separate application development environment that is fully insulated from other workspaces. The administration component provides workspace management, including services (available schemas, space requests, and preferences), users (both developers and end-users), and workspace activity (page views, login attempts, and developer activity). Access is limited to Oracle Application Express developers who have workspace administration privileges.

Web Interface for Apple TV2

Is there any way of being able to control my Apple TV through a web interface, in a similar way to using the 'remote' app?
I can't belive that a product as sophistcated as my Apple TV doesn't have the ability to web into it.
If my printer can be controlled through the web interface why not this?
Any hints people?
I've heard tales of being jail breaking them to do a similar thing but i don't want to go down that route.

Apple does not currently provide any kind of API for controlling the Apple TV using TCP or UDP, it is a closed protocol which theoretically could be "hacked" but it probably uses encrypted data so that they can monopolize the Remote Application.
Apple DOES have an API for controlling the Apple TV Generation 1 - so they specifically depreciated the API so that they could monopolize the Remote App. A lot of innovative solutions were and are available for Generation 1.
The reason this is an important feature that apple neglects is for 3rd party control systems which do much more than just control Apple TV. They may control lighting, security systems, cameras, TV's, and more... single button presses do multiple different things - and it'd be very nice to have an API to control the Apple TV over TCP.
This would also open up the ability for developers to make creative ways of controlling the Apple TV on many devices whether it's Android, Blackberry, iOS, Web, Computers, etc. It makes perfect sense and there is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON they should not have an IP Control Protocol - it's unbelievable.
To answer your question on the HTTP Server. They could theoretically install a simple HTTP Server to allow some basic control and it would probably take an engineer a day to get that working (I'm sure they have it for themselves already).
Also they should be able to make a VERY SIMPLE Remote App for Mac in a matter of a day that would control the Apple TV. Granted it takes time to market it, etc - but if I had the Control Protocol, I could have a "Remote App" for Mac, Windows, and Linux within about 6 hours programmed that would operate for what you guys need. Apple already has the code used in their REMOTE APP so they could do it even faster.

Web Dynpro for editing Change request in SOLMAN

Hi guys,
I am looking for web dynpro applications in SOLMAN for editing or displaying Change request created, i found the one for creation which is "AGS_CHANGE_REQUEST_CREATE" .
Do any one have any idea regarding this.

Hello,
Have you tried the Change Management Work Center ? It should be possible to operate with change requests from there.

Web Interface for Bex Maps in WAD 7.0

Hi Everyone,
I have a requirement to be able to display values in a table when an area on a map is clicked.
This functionality is supported in 3.5 WAD where a property for a map layer could be set to affect values in corresponding tables within a template .The name of the property is 'Map Interaction Controls' ; value 'Click on Map to filter data providers'. Once this value is chosen, in another property 'Affected list of data providers' you specify the dataprovider (of the table) which will be affected by a user clicking on the area of a map.
In WAD 7.0, the only property I see is 'Affected list of data providers' for a specific map layer. I do not see the 'Map Interaction Controls' property. I have tried working with the other settings(properties) available for a layer, but none of them seem to work for invoking the interaction between the map and the table
Does anyone know if the functionality offered in 3.5 is still supported in 7.0? Or if there is a workaround for the function to work?
Any help would be greatly appreciated and points would be rewarded!
Thanks,
Mansha

Anyone with any ideas/suggestions?
Thanks!!

Oracle Soa Suite 11.1.1.7 for 32-bit Linux Machine

Hi,
Oracle on the download site (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/soasuite/downloads/index.html) for 11.1.1.7 provides me with these options:
* Microsoft Windows 32bit JVM
* Linux 64bit JVM
* Generic: 64bit JVM
My dev machine is Linux 32bit. Is Generic: 64bit JVM right for me? I know it says generic, but then it says 64 bit. And now I'm baffled.

Hi,
You can find here your answer:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/ias/downloads/fusion-certification-100350.html
(Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.x))
From my understanding you can choose the 32-bit installation:
"If your Oracle Fusion Middleware components are running in a 64-bit JVM environment, ensure that WebLogic Server is installed with the 64-bit JDK or is using a supported 64-bit JDK on your system. You cannot mix components using a 32-bit JVM with those using a 64-bit JVM."

How to create WEBGUI interface for own-created program

Hi experts!
Could you please suggest me:
Some of our end-users have to work with WEBGUI interface. In T-code VL02N we have our userexit SAPLZSDEXIT (Screen 0110). And in WEBGUI we don't see this tab in VL02N. I think I have to generate web-interface for this screen. But how I can make it? This screen was developed by our ABAP-ers in se51 t-code.

Lets be clear here - Web Dynpro ABAP and WebGui/ITS/SAPGUI for HTML are two completely different technologies. If you have a WebGUI screen, you can't enhance it with Web Dynpro ABAP - if that is what you are asking for. If your question is about WebGUI or ITS Transactions, then you are asking it in the wrong forum.
