What files should not be checked into Source Control?

Good afternoon.
Running RoboHelp 11, integrated with Team Foundation Server and Visual Studio 2010.
When my two colleagues recently "got" the latest project files from Source Control, they also got items that had been removed or deleted. For example, I had removed all conditional build tags from my project, but their version still included the build tags. Eventually, thanks in part to an old post from Peter Grainge, we realized that the PSS in Source Control contained a lot of that old information. We deleted the PSS and stopped checking it into Source Control. Problem solved. No more conditional build tags or unwanted Single Source Layouts, etc. (I think the PSS got checked in by our Release Engineer when he was trying to solve some other problem. Two years ago it was not being checked in.)
I vaguely remember reading something somewhere once upon a time about not checking certain RoboHelp  project management files into Source Control. So far I've not found any such information in the RoboHelp Help or online.
Does anyone know where I can find a list of RoboHelp HTML project management files, such as the PSS file, that should never be checked into Source Control?
Many thanks.

  • Error - Server file should not be empty- while uploading Text files in RAR

    Hi,
    We are uploading SU24 text files but we are getting the error "Server file should not be empty" while uploading the Description files in RAR 5.3
    We followed the same naming covention and also used UTF-8 format for the text files. We placed the file in our Desktop as well and tried uploading into RAR - but still the same error is being thrown?
    Are we missing something here?
    Thanks and Best Regards,
    Srihari.K

    Hi and thanks to the answers so far.
    I forgot to mention some points :
    - I'm using forground import
    - we are trying to use RAR to run risk analysis on non-sap systems as well as SAP (single or cross-systems).
    So the file I'm trying to upload does not come from a SAP backen, but was created from scratch.
    However the data in the files are coherent (and I compared with a SAP extraction, the format is the same)
    here is a sample of the file I try to upload : (an that is actually what I'm trying to import as a test file)
    sap_auth.txt:
    OEITIAC     GTIAC     SEL     1     
    OEITIAC     GTIAC     MOD     1     
    OEITIAC     GTIAC     INS     1     
    OEITIAC     GTIAC     SUP     1     
    each element (ACT/PRM/FLD/VAL) is defined in the sap_desc.txt file that I loaded first (without error).
    note that each column is separated by a single TAB (with an empty column at the end of each line).
    each line is terminated by a CR/LF
    I tried UTF-8 with and W/O BOM

  • What files should I transfer back to a clean install of mountain lion?

    Hi,
    I have a 2.4 GHz core 2 duo running snow leopard. I want to upgrade to mountain lion but want to start with a clean install. i have everything backed up on an external hard drive. My questions are this: what files should I transfer over from 10.6.8 while leaving the old junk behind. I will reinstall only the compatible apps later.
    My second question should I use migration assistant or set-up assistant? I can't seem to find the necessary tutorial that is straight forward for this.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    If you're doing a clean install, which usually isn't necessary, then you want to bring over as little as possible. You can use Migration Manager in Setup Assistant to bring over your Accounts if there are no problems there. (If there are it probably accounts for the issues you're having and you'll need to troubleshoot your Home folder.)
    You'll probably want to leave settings behind. Applications you already said you would install later.
    The reason to run Migration Manager on the Setup Assistant is becuase after that it tends to create a second Home folder, which is not helpful.
    Be sure you have a good backup before you begin.

  • File is not picking from the source location.

    Hi all,
    File is not picking from the source location. FTP is working properly and file is also placed in source location. I am new the XI, if anybody can give me the solution it would be really helpfull.
    Thanks to all.

    Hi Majin,
      Check the folder path properly, check the file name( file name is case sensitive) you have given correct or not. See that your communication channel is active. Also check the cache status and check adapter status also by that you will come to know wht is the problem.
    Thanks,

  • I just bought an external hard drive. What files should I back up?

    I just bought a 60gig external hard drive and I wanted to know what files should I back up?

    The easiest is to drag /Users/<yourhomefoldername> to the backup drive.
    Only the files you've created can't be replaced. The rest is on CDs, DVDs, or can be purchased again if need be.
    I don't bother with clones because there's always the possibility of trouble down the line if you have to restore from one. (Something could be wrong with the clone, or it could be altered if you have to boot from it.) Why take the chance, when the OS and apps are expendable? And, if you don't test that the clone is good (by restoring to a blank drive), you're just fooling yourself as to its viability.
    If the internal drive dies, you take the time to install a new one, load up OS and applications, then copy your home folder back. So your computer will be unusable for a half-day---big deal. This doesn't happen every day.
    The main thing is that you've backed up your home folder.

  • File should not be processed until completely written

    Hi Experts,
    My scenario is proxy->file(xml). The file will be huge.
    Once the file is kept on the target location, some crons will pick this file for processing.
    How can I make sure that the file should not be picked by crons until the file is completely written on the target location by PI file receiver adapter?
    Your inputs will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks and regards, Prasad

    Hi Satish,
    Thanks a lot for yout reply. I have another question on the same.
    When XI creates temporary file, where will this temporary file be created?
    And please correct me if my understanding is correct on below.
    If we select 'Use temporary file', then XI first creates this temporary file, writes all the data to it and then moves the whole file to the target location. And if we select 'directly' then XI first creates the file on target location and then it starts writing the content to the file. Is this understanding correct?
    Thanks a lot.
    Regards,
    Prasad

  • InCopy workflow in InDesign: Is there a way to find the document in which an ICML file has NOT been checked IN again before saving the doc?

    The situation:
    We are working with the InCopy feature (checking in and checking out ICML files).
    The problem:
    I might have saved a document with an ICML file still checked out.
    The question:
    Is there a way to find out which document was saved with the ICML file still checked out?
    or in other words:
    Is there a way to find the document in which an ICML file has NOT been checked IN again before saving the doc?
    Thanks for any help!

    Hello Sumit Singh,
    thank you for your answer and your reasonable recommendation. Unfortunately, this only works when the ICML content is used in one INDD file. In our case, we use ICML content in multiple docs (various manuals with the same safety instructions, warranties, adresses etc.).
    So, is there a way to trace back where an ICML has been used?
    Is it possible to find out in which document the ICML is still checked out?

    I have loaded directly into Lightroom using import and via Nikon Capture NX2. RAW files display fine in Capture.
    In Lightroom, blank previews are created for each available image, with the message "Preview unavailable for this file."

  • My Mac Book Pro is giving me a message that the start up disk is full, how do I delete files, and what files should I be deleting

    My Mac Book Pro is giving me a message that the start up disk is full, how do I delete files, and what files should I be deleting

    There are several nice programs that can help you figure out what's on your computer - OmniDiskSweep, WhatSize, and DaisyDisk are the three I like. If you've had your computer for a while - and especially if this isn't your first Mac and you've been migrating from one computer to another, one of these programs can help you find files you didn't know your computer still had. For example, when I was trying to shed files to fit int a 256GB SSD, I discovered I had nearly 1GB of files in my Application Support folder belonging to programs I no longer used.
    Other than that, your easy choice are music, video, and photos. They tend to be the big files. A movie will generally be at least 1.25GB, for example.

  • Conflicting information about files that should not be included in version control

    Hi All,
    We are using RoboHelp HTML v9 from the Tech Comms Suite v3.5.
    We are two authors who added our help project files into Perforce version control using the instructions provided on the Adobe site. All was going well until I returned from Maternity Leave. Now, we seem to be getting some file conflicts and 'strange behaviour'.
    I searched for answers and found the following submissions offering conflicting advice about the .hhp file:
    http://adobe.hosted.jivesoftware.com/message/3880352
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/3853685#3853685
    The .hhp file is one of the files causing us troubles. Should this file be under source control? What is the best way for us to remove it from source control, or would it be better for us to remove the whole project from source control and re-add it through RoboHelp once more to ensure whatever it is that happened on my return is eliminated?
    Thank you all for your help.
    Regards
    LillibetUK

    If you are getting conflicts then these need to be sorted out regardless of whether they should be inside your source control application. I use source control and can tell you that the HHP file should be source controlled. Open it up in Notepad and you'll find all sort of project related data including a list of all the topics in your project. It can also be useful to recover from a corrupted project. For this reason alone I'd always include it in source control.

  • What about attribute 'checked' of input? What i should do: "removeAttribute('checked')" or "checked = false"?

    SCRIPT
    function vibor(){
    if (document.getElementById('autologin').checked = true){
    document.getElementById('autologin').removeAttribute('checked');
    document.getElementById('autologin1').style.backgroundPosition = 'left top';
    } else {
    document.getElementById('autologin').createAttribute('checked');
    document.getElementById('autologin1').style.backgroundPosition = 'left bottom';
    /SCRIPT
    If i used "removeAttribute", in face input is checked. But if i used "checked = false", input's face not checked, but it checked in HTML code (if FireBug don't lies).
    Please, helped me somebody! I don't know what i should do.
    P.s. Please, don't scold me for my English. I don't speak English very much and that have a cause - i'm 14 years old and lived in Russia, where nobody may helped me.

    It is not an attribute, but a Boolean JavaScript variable and you can't remove it.
    Note that <i>if (document.getElementById('autologin').checked = true){}</i> will set that variable always to true.
    You probably want this:
    <br />
    <pre><nowiki>function vibor(){
    if (document.getElementById('autologin').checked == true){
    document.getElementById('autologin').checked = false;
    document.getElementById('autologin1').style.backgroundPosition = 'left top';
    } else {
    document.getElementById('autologin').checked = true;
    document.getElementById('autologin1').style.backgroundPosition = 'left bottom';
    } </nowiki></pre>

  • Damaged Flash CC files ("Could not load scene into memory.")

    I just installed Creative Cloud the other day, and had the following problem immediately.
    I create a brand new .FLA and import a few assets from another person's Illustrator CC file, then write some ActionScript for basic interactivity. I can work for hours with that file. But when I save, quit and reopen the file (either 2 seconds later or the next day), I get a warning that says "Could not load scene into memory. Your file may be damaged." The library is empty, no instances of symbols on the stage, nothing. I can't open the file with Flash CS6 or anything: it's shot. I repeated the process several times with brand new Flash files, but always get the same results. I even deleted everything and reinstalled and still got the same results.
    I switched to using Flash CS6, but when I imported artwork from Illustrator CC, I was getting corrupted artwork and periodically I'd get an error that said something to the effect of "You can't import artwork from a newer version of Illustrator into Flash CS 5.5. (WTF? I'm in Flash CS6.)
    Any ideas? I'm on a Mac, OS X 10.8.4. Thanks very much.

    Hi Gregir ,
    Is it possible for you to share the file or the illustrator assets with us? We can take a look and get back on it.
    Can you check the size of the PublishSettings.xml file which would be present after unzipping the zip created from the fla renaming it as .zip.
    Thanks and Regards,

  • How to tell what  files have NOT been Javadoc'd.

    Is there a way to generate a list of filenames that lists out what has not been Javadoc'd? I have tons of Java files, and I need to produce a list to give back to the developers, that tells that what they haven't Javadoc'd.
    Thanks.

    Our NetBeans IDE guru found an Ant solution. But it leaves a lot to be desired. That's why I'm posting this in the Forum. His solution is as follows.
    The build.xml file was added the following:
    <target name="Build Javadoc Report - Files">
    <property file="nbproject/project.properties"/>
    <property file="nbproject/private/private.properties"/>
    <echo message="Building Javadoc package information"></echo>
    <delete dir="dist/JavadocReport"></delete>
    <mkdir dir="dist/JavadocReport"></mkdir>
    <javadoc doclet="com.sun.tools.doclets.doccheck.DocCheck" docletpath="doccheck.jar" maxmemory="256M" destdir="dist/JavadocReport">
    <packageset dir="${src.dir}" includes="*/**"/>
    </javadoc>
    This generates some reports. But the information is broken down in a way that it's not easy for a number of developers to sift through. The toplevel report is very top level, and you can't see the whole tree sturcture of what is not Javadoc'd in one swoop.
    So I'm sifting through the list that this Ant script generates, and figurin out what who wrote what file, and what files are related to the top level report. For instance, the report might tell me that file cxxi.apisupport.pythonsupport has 5 files without Javadocs. But I have to click on "cxxi.apisupport.pythonsupport" to find out what the 5 files are, as these are listed in a separate part of the report. I think this is as close as I will get, with the limited knowledge I have at the moment about Javadocs, scripts, python and all this stuff.
    have a nice weekend!
