What file(s) are required to launch WebHelp?

I'm using RoboHelp 8 HTML, and generating WebHelp for an application that is supported on Firefox (Windows/Mac) and IE (latest versions of both).
What WebHelp output file is used to launch the help? i.e., if I press F1 or click the Help button, what file is invoked? I believe it is simply the project_name.htm, where "project_name" is the name of the project. Currently troubleshooting why help isn't being invoked. Thanks for any help,
Len

Hi there
Indeed you are correct in thinking that you would see a file named the same as your project and bearing an HTM file extension. This is also known as the "WebHelp Start Page" and is the first field listed in the dialogs when you examine WebHelp properties.
Many confuse this file with the first topic that is presented. (The Default Topic). The WebHelp start page has a different function. It sets a cascade of events in motion. The last event executed is to load the default topic into the browser.
Additionally, don't think that you can get away with delivering this single HTML file for your WebHelp. Some folks misunderstand that point as well. When you look inside the !SSL!\WebHelp folder you will see many files and folders. ALL of them need to be shipped or uploaded to the web server in order to make things work.
Cheers... Rick

  • What file name, are old emails saved under in backups?

    Time Machine, does not seem to operate properly, past the date when I clean installed Yosemite. My files are all there, but I can only find them by going into my drive, and either searching for the file in Time Machine, or searching for it in my backup drive. I cannot restore a mail file, by opening mail, and time machine. It works fine up until the date, when I installed Yosemite. I have done 2 different  completely clean installs, and one using migration assistant, wt a multitude of problems. I am done wt doing that. My iMac is finally running smoothly, and I have managed to migrate everything back into my iMac, except for my old emails. I'm pretty sure that I could restore my emails, as long as I knew where there there supposed to be stored on my iMac. I could basically restore them, by either looking in my backup drive where they are before I installed Yosemite. What file name, are old Maverick emails saved under in backups?

    The information viewed in Contacts is not located in a single file, nor a single directory.
    [Copied from another thread I responded to recently:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/24658329#24658329]
    This MIGHT be include all the files you need, but there might also be Preferences files needed from another directory.
    Also, I migrated my data from an older OS X version (10.6.8) where the app was called Address Book. On brand new systems, it is called Contacts, and the correct directory might be named Contacts.
    NOTE: Be sure to replace Macintosh HD below with the actual hard drive name if not Macintosh HD, and username below with the actual user's name...
    Transfer all the files from Macintosh HD/Users/username/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/
    That WILL INCLUDE each of these three subdirectories where the necessary files and data are stored:
    Macintosh HD/Users/username/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/images
    Macintosh HD/Users/username/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/Metadata
    Macintosh HD/Users/username/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/Sources

  • How can I see what file's are in  a directory

    I'm want to make a program for brosing the harddisk and copying and editing file's.
    I already can copy them but:
    How can I see what file's are in a directory and how can I see
    what subdirectory's are in a directory so I can show them to the user?
    I dont't know if it does matter if If I'm on a windows or linux platform, when it does please tell me for the windows?

  • What additional resources are required to do the TestStand training courses I and II?

    I have the TestStand course manuals for courses I and II and am currently trying to refresh what I learned a couple of months ago when I took the courses.  I'm at the point where almost every VI required comes up broken because additional libraries are required in LabVIEW.  Why aren't the additional required libraries listed in the course documentation?  What are the additional libraries and how do I get them?

    Hi there!
    If I had to guess I would say that you're missing the TS support API libraries for LabVIEW... Since those are the only 'special' libraries used by any of the examples in the TestStand 3.x or 4.x training manuals.
    I'm going to assume that you have some recent version of LabVIEW (8.x?) and some recent version of TestStand (3.x) installed? Unless you took the NI training course more than a few years ago, in which case you might need earlier version of TS, LabVIEW version really shouldn't matter. Evaluation copies ought to be sufficient so I wouldn't blame those... 
    (If you don't have LabVIEW at all. Make sure you have the correct LabVIEW Run Time Engine version, as that's a pretty common source of TS errors... But without LabVIEW half of the exercises in the training manual are moot anyway...)
    In your LabVIEW install path, (C:\ program files etc...\LabVIEW 8.x\)  look for the folder path "vi.lib\addons\TestStand\", it ought to be full of a few *.llb files that TS would furnish to LabVIEW when the product is installed.  Sometimes when you install things in an unexpected order, or if you have multiple LVs installed, these items don't get put where you expect.
    If the folder is empty, copy what you need from... the TestStand install path (C:\ program files etc...\TestStand x.x\) folder "AdapterSupport\LabVIEW" and restart LV. This might get you up and running.
    If the folder is not empty. Try running a MassCompile from your LabVIEW Tools ->Advanced menu, there might be a version incompatibility issue...
    Feel free to send me an email if you're still stuck. But there aren't any external dependencies/hardware drivers needed for the TS training sequences...

  • BODS / SAP : what set-ups are required for communicating with each other ?

    Hi.
    There is a new SAP system
    And there is a new BODS installation.
    Both on independent server machines but on the same lan network.
    On the test system of BODS. We tried to see how the communication happens with SAP.
    While we try some test jobs by trying to pull a simple table on SAP R/3
    In Dataflow, we used simple SAPR/3 ABAP flow. And put it into target database thro query transformation.
    In the datastore,
    We used the Generate and Execute option,
    with a path on the local directory of BODS server for creating the ABAP program and the dat file.
    However,
    We are always getting error on batch job schedule.
    Although the user is having rights on the R/3 table
    And can login into SAP R/3 system and check the table.
    Still we get an error saying Databstore unabel to connect to R/3 system. Check for user login etc.
    For anyone whose login we use. We get the error.
    However, if i directly generate the code on the ABAP flow (without running the job),
    make the program available on R/3 system.
    and then run the job as execute preloaded
    this works fine without any error.
    and we are able to see the data in the target table.
    Now both the systems are new.
    And am not aware of the initial set-ups which are required for communication between SAP / BODS.
    Are WE missing something on the SAP side setups - for generate and execute option to be used?
    Is there anything specific to be done for ease of the communication between SAP server and BODS server in this regard.
    Can anyone share some inputs on this.
    Actually for any user with full admin rights too, on the sap side, if we use the user login for R/3 connectivity for this particular "generate and execute" option,  it errors out after nearly 10 minutes. Then the error says, login info not correct.
    So basically, the communication channel by itself between SAP R/3 and BODS seems to be locked somewhere.
    If anyone with SAP admin expertise - can help or advise on this.
    Many thanks

    Getting data out of R/3 requires two distinct setup tasks, and they don't have much to do with each other.
    The first basic task is to get the little ABAP extraction programs loaded and run in R/3.  You can pre-load them and then call them, or generate, upload, and execute them all on-the-fly, at BODS runtime.  During development, use "Generate and Execute" for your ABAP.
    Once that's done, you have four different choices to get the data back: "Direct download", "Shared directory", FTP, and "Customer Transfer". Normally, you'll use either FTP or "Shared directory".  Refer to the documentation (the BODS SAP Supplement) for a description of all this.
    In all cases (or at least, quite certainly, using the FTP and Shared Directory methods), the ABAP extraction programs are directed to plop their output as flat files in the "Working directory on SAP server."  For testing, you can look in that folder to see if any flat files are appearing when you submit an ABAP data flow.  If not, then either 1) your ABAP program isn't getting in there (a Basis admin should be able to tell you), or 2) it's not running (ditto), or 3) it's running but unable to generate the output file (ditto), because a) SAP isn't permitted to write to that folder, or b) the folder doesn't exist (it needs to be defined from the perspective of the SAP server).
    If you do see files appear in the "Working directory on SAP server" when you run a BODS job w/ an ABAP dataflow, then the problem is that BODS can't fetch them.  If you're using the "Shared directory" method, which is suitable for and often used in all-Windows environments, then the account under which the Job Server in question is running must have access to the "Working directory on SAP server," but this time from the perspective of the Job Server.  So if, for instance, SAP was directed to put the flat files on a local folder, say, "E:\USR\SAP\BODS", then you might want to share this folder out as, for instance,
    sapdev1\bods (for an SAP host called "sapdev1"), and then enter "
    sapdev1\bods" in the "Application path to shared directory" field, in your SAP datastore configuration.  If your Job Server service is logging-in as "Local System," though, it won't be able to get there -- it needs to log-in as an AD domain account w/ rights to that share.  Get it?  Try logging in to your BODS job server computer with the AD "service account" setup for use by the Job Server service, and try to open a file on the "Application path to shared directory". If you can't, then BODS won't be able to get data from ECC, either.  FTP works similarly -- if you're using that and having trouble, please re-post.
    Best wishes,

  • What file formats are supported on a Mac/Quicktime?

    I just need to know what kind of file formats are supported on a mac, or for quicktime on a mac computer. Im trying to make a video from a windows machine work on a mac, but don't know what format to save it in. If anyone could help me out, that would be great!

    Oh, I was not discounting it's utility for your general 10.4.7 (and higher) users. I can think of several situations where it'd be most advantageous. If the user does have 10.4.7 and has permissions to install Perian, then it's near the top of the list of "things nice to have."
    I was just saying that it's generally a good idea to work out everything on the sending end so that all the recipient has to do is open and enjoy. Most of us have had stuff converted to .WMV so that Windows users wouldn't NEED to install QuickTime to see our video, it's the same kind of thinking.

  • SCUP Publishing - CM 2012 R2: What RBAC rights are required?

    Hi,
    I have integrated SCUP 2011 with CM 2012 R2.  CM 2012 R2 is being used in a very large environment.  I would like to allow a small team within my organization the ability to publish updates using SCUP to CM 2012 R2.  Currently, I am doing
    this job using an account that has full rights to CM 2012R2.
    What is the minimum level rights needed to publish SCUP 2011 updates to CM 2012?

    The real thing of publishing updates via SCUP is not part of RBAC, because SCUP only publishes the information to WSUS. If you mean the permissions required to work with the update data in ConfigMgr then the out-of-the-box answer would be the
    Software Update Manager role. Simply because after the updates are synced into ConfigMgr, they need to be treated as normal updates.

  • SOAP Sender Authentication - What user authorizations are required in XI?

    Hi Experts,
    When exposing an XI webservice to an external WS client, the WS client needs to provide the user id and password in the webapplication while sending the SOAP request to XI.
    1. Could you tell me what authorizations this particular user should have which needs to be created in XI?
    2. Is this the best practice to be used in B2B scenarios or there are other means of authentication too?

  • What file format are the transparent images on "Get Started with Pages"?

    I can not figure out the file format used for "Masked"/"Clipped"/"Transparent"/"Outlined" images on "iPad Page"s such as the "Butterfly"or "Giraffe". I have tried using Transparent PNG files but they do not work. I was thinking of using Transparent Tiff or PSD files but I thought I would see if anyone knew the answer first.
    Thanks,
    Ryan.

    Glad to hear it worked for you.
    I think the issue is that before iPad, the iPhone OS did fine saving everything as a JPG. And I'm sure most users of Pages for iPad will never have need of dealing with a transparent PNG. It's those that are using these apps to push the bounds that see the possibilities and get somewhat frustrated with the workarounds.
    Your feedback to Apple would be helpful in future changes.
