Winhelp Help system and Java

Hello,
Of the several products we develop, one, a Java program, uses the Java Help help system (logically). The others use a standard Winhelp help system (developed in Robohelp). Our current workflow for developing a help system for the Java program is to batch convert the Winhelp RTF files into HTML files. The problem is, most of our Winhelp formatting is either dropped or incorrectly represented in the Java help file. Also, I prefer the look and feel of a Winhelp system over Java.
Is it possible for a Java program to be modified so that it supports a Winhelp help system and not a Java Help system? If so, how is this done, and where can one find information on the process?
If not, what options do we have to "pretty up" the Java output from the conversion?
Thanks!
Todd

Thanks for your response. Could you direct me to a resource that explains the steps for accomplishing this? I'll need to provide the development staff with instructions.
Thanks again!

  • Status and Tracking System and JAVA AS

    Hello!
    Is it possible to run STS (Status and Tracking System) and BW-BPS without JAVA AS?

    Will it work not in 3.5 but in NW2004s?
    I'll try to clear situation: we are upgrading SEM 3.1B to NW2004s BI
    It worked in 3.1 but now get errors:
    Diagnosis
    The system was not configured for SAP logon tickets:
    At least one of the two parameters login/create_sso2_ticket and login/accept_sso2_ticket currently has the value 0.
    System Response
    It is not possible to use SAP logon tickets.
    Therefore, there is also no single sign-on support when using SAPGUI HTML Control and calling local ICF services (see SAP note 612670).
    It looks like integration between JAVA and ABAP.
    That's why I want to know - should I try to solve this problem without JAVA ot it's impossible?
    I saw similar problem in another message (Status and Tracking System and JAVA AS), but it's still not answered

  • CHM help file and java

    is there any way to open a chm help file using java (so that the help viewer starts up)? this program will probably display a chm if it's running on a windows machine and in html if not

    Useing RunTime Class in Java you can opern the CHM help file using the hh.exe
    The hh.exe will be present in the windows directory.
    See if this helps.
    Your doubts are not related directly to JNI.
    Didnt I misunderstand.

  • Need help, system reboot.- Java

    For a few months I've been trying to figure out why my system suddenly reboots when online and accessing a new web page. In fact, when I get the auto message from Microsoft on critical updates and click on it, as soon as that page starts loading my system reboots. My thought initially was something Java was causing it because some web pages were fine but others.... kaput! Since I had recently upgraded from Norton AntiVirus to System Works and to AOL 7.0 I initially suspected them. I uninstalled System Works and reinstalled NAV with no difference. I have searched help pages on Microsoft and tech sites to no avail. Two days ago I was searching in Control Panel (Win98B) and saw a Java icon that looked unfamiliar. Ah ha! Now I do download utilities (I am not a techie but know more than the average bumbler) so thought I must have downloaded something that placed the icon there. I went to Add/REmove programs and found Java 2 (I think) there and uninstalled it.
    Well, I am still rebooting. I looked in the registry (I did not touch) and did a search for Java and found several entries.
    So, am I on the right track? Can anyone assist me?
    (Including how to get back to this thread after wor.. I will try! (this list is huge!)
    Thank you

    The java icon in your control panel is placed there when you install JRE 1.3 or higher. You were probably prompted by a web page at some point to install the newer version of Java to view the content of the page. This is not a bad thing at all. Java more than likely wouldn't crash your computer. Its most likely a bad video card driver or network/modem card driver depending on how you connect to the internet. But a random reboot in my experience has almost always been due to a video card driver. Try upgrading that. You say AOL suspected Norton System Works? I assume you mean it said it might be a virus? This is very common with antivirus software. This is why a lot of anti virus software will tell you to disable System Works before installing it. You can rest assured that Norton System Works isn't a virus.

  • Diference between Java Card Operating System and java card?

    operating system is inside the ROM, but are the JCVM, APIs and JCRE inside this ROM too?

    Even if you found it, how are you going to get the cards ? How will you get the tools to put the JCRE/JCVM into ROM and start it ? What about the card OS and native methods ? How are you going to engineer that ?
    The cost of all that outweights the benefits of just purchasing the cards already loaded !
    Just my 2 cents

  • Winhelp support in a Java program

    Hello,

    Todd

    Surely the whole point of javahelp is that it is cross
    platform? Winhelp is for Windows only so I cannot see how it would
    be possible unless someone has produced some sort of converter. I
    am not aware of one but perhaps Google can help.
    Why can't you just generate javahelp from your project? That
    should keep the formatting. There's a topic on my site about
    javahelp but it is aimed at RH HTML users. Nonetheless there may be
    something in that is of help.
    I assume you are aware that winhelp will be more problematic
    under Vista? Your users will be able to download a viewer but you
    will not be allowed to distribute it.

  • Sending Data from R/3 to Java and Java to SAP

    Dear All,
    I am working on a scenario in which I have to send data from sap system to Non-SAP system (Java System).
    Now one way is that I made a RFC in my SAP system and Java can call it using JCO adapter. But In this case I am not able to understand how to go another way,means how to capture data or messages from Java.
    Secondly I have searched and found that IDOC can help me lot in this process ,I am new to IDOCS but through R & D , I have made the IDOC and done the following steps:-
    1. Segment Creation (WE31)
    2. IDOC Types          (WE30)
    3. Message Type     (WE81)
    4. Linking Message type and IDOC type (WE82)
    5. Create Distribution Model (BD64)
    Now I am struck on 5th step , I am not able to distribute model when I distribute it I get the following Error
    Target system AII_00_800                  RFC destination for synchronous communication (message type SYNCH)
                                                                 Partner profile LS AII_00_800 SYNCH does not exist
                                                                 Generate partner profile
                                                                  or specify outbound partner profiles for message type SYNCH
    Target system JAVASYS                    RFC destination for synchronous communication (message type SYNCH)
                                                                  Partner profile LS JAVASYS SYNCH does not exist
                                                                 Generate partner profile
                                                                 or specify outbound partner profiles for message type SYNCH
    JAVASYS is the logical system I created using SALE and ALL_00_800 is already there in LS.
    I am not able to understand that my receiver system is NON SAP system so do I have to create logical system for it , and I have IDES system as sender system with only one client 800, what are all the configuration I have to do on SAP side.
    I am also not able to understand where I will write my code to fetch data based on the input provided by NON SAP system as I will have to design IDOC for both Inbound and Outbound processes.
    Kindly help me out, thanks in advance

    Hi Kanagaraja L,
    Thanks for you response.
    No I haven't created Created RFC Destination , this RFC destination will be of my JAVA system ???.
    I have tried creating the partner logical system in WE20 and dine the following steps:
    1. Partner No.   IDES800     Ides 800 System - Sender System
        Partn.Type    LS          Logical system
    2. The tab Post processing : permitted agent is filled with default parameters.
    3. Then in the outbound parameter table control I have pressed the add record button and got a new screen in
        which I have made the following entry :-
      Partner No.           IDES800        Ides 800 System - Sender System
      Partn.Type            LS             Logical system
      Partner Role          LS             Logical system
        Message Type      SYNCH                            ALE:Dummy Message Type for De
        Message code
        Message function
    Under tab Outbound options :
    Receiver Port  = A000000008  (This I have selected from F4 help)
    Basic type = SYNCHRON
    Saved it with the above data.
    Now I am not able to understand how to do the things you have mentioned in 3rd step in your reply.
    What are all the things I have to do kindly tell , as I am very new to Idocs so don't have much knowledge.

  • Online Help System for Web Apps

    Hi all,
    Does anyone know a good and free online help system for Java webapps, I've tried Oracle Help for the Web and it's nice, except that it won't run on WebSphere v5.1 (which is a requirement).
    Thank you,

    Hi Len
    Basically it's like this. WebHelp is nothing more than a collection of HTML pages that each contain different "Topics". This means that each page has a unique URL which may be used to view it. Normally, WebHelp is presented with the surrounding frameset (also known as the Skin) and the Topic is shown in the Topic pane of the Frameset.
    What Jeff has shown is what you might get if you just link to the URL of the topic. I say *MIGHT* because whether you see the "Show" link is configurable and you can generate WebHelp where it's not factored in.
    So you have many options of linking to your help. You can link to a single topic where only that topic appears. You can link to the WebHelp generically and the end user finds their own way to the information they are looking for. You can link to a Bookmarked location inside a topic either on its own or within the frameset. And if you are using the WebHelp API, you can specify your own Window that will be used. Otherwise, your developer can create the window using their own means.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Help system production software

    Hi,
    I'm about to make a start on producing a software help system
    and I am
    wondering what options are open to me in terms of what
    software is available
    to produce this?
    The help system will (most likely) consist of html pages and
    potentially
    include flash movies (i.e. "show me" movies)
    It might also be useful to produce PDF documents for people
    to print out as
    they see fit... not sure about that.
    I'm aware of RoboHelp that seems to cover my needs - are
    there any other
    offerings out there?
    Any advice/suggestions appreciated.
    Is a HTML with Flash help system the best way to go?
    Better/alternative suggestions?
    Cheers,

  • Help system like in Windows 2007

    Hi,
    Can anyone tell me if Robohelp can create a Help System like
    that comes with new Windows 2007 (Beta) ? If so, what format is
    that ?
    Thanks
    Maxx

    The
    Assistance
    Platform help system, and related technologies like
    MAML
    are currently not publically available.
    As far as I am aware, compiled help advice is to continue
    with HTMLHelp.
    This obviously introduces questions about how best to do this
    so that switching to MAML is as painless as possible. Some of this
    can be done by the HAT but some will also be defined by how well
    structured our information is within our current systems.

  • Combining APEX help with a frame-like TOC html help system (I used DITA)

    Problem:
    The APEX page-oriented help system is bad at helping users find how to do something. I prefer to use a task-oriented help system for that, with a table of contents that users can browse around in. I like the DITA (Darwin Information Typing Architecture) system's topic based help with its ideas of tasks, concepts and references. But, I also like the context-based feel of a page-based help system and the way that the APEX help system automatically aggregates all of the item-based help on a page for you.
    My Solution:
    I'm no html genius, so this may be totally wrong, but what I did was to create a task oriented html user guide that also included a page based help TOC entry for each page. I then used iframes in the APEX help page to allow me to have a TOC always showing with links that controlled a content "pane," but still also display the automatically-generated item help for the page help is called from.
    * Downloaded the DITA open toolkit (http://sourceforge.net/projects/dita-ot ), full package distribution and installed using the user guide (http://dita-ot.sourceforge.net/doc/ot-userguide131/xhtml/ )
    * Downloaded and installed XMLmind XML editor free personal edition version ([http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/download.shtml]). I'm not endorsing this thing, but it's free and it works great out of the box for editing DITA files.
    * Created an html user guide by modifying the garage sample that's included with the DITA open toolkit and publishing to xhtml (I also published to pdf2, by the way, to provide a printable user guide for my users to download...one of the nice things about DITA). I set up my files so that they would all be in a topics subfolder, rather than the standard task, concept, and reference folders of the example. I did this so that I wouldn't have to worry about linking to a different folder from APEX (more on that later). I made a concept topic for each page of my application with the filename "Concept_About_page_X.dita," where X is the APEX page number.
    * I run APEX using Oracle Application Server 10g, so I uploaded the files to a subdirectory of their own in the i/ folder on the OAS server. In my case this was APPSERVER_HOME/apache/apache/images/doc/MyAppHelp/
    * The DITA toolkit generates html pages that look for a CSS called commonltr.css, located at the same level as the index.html file. I copied my APEX theme's CSS file to that same place and renamed it commonltr.css (in my case that was APPSERVER_HOME/apache/apache/images/themes/theme_13/theme_V3.css). Now, the proper thing to do would be to configure DITA to point at the real location of the theme's CSS, I guess. But I didn't want to figure out how to do that at this point.
    * Now, in APEX, I deleted all of the page-level help text from my pages, since I had now duplicated this information into the DITA page concept topics. Instead, on each page I put
    * On the help page (the page that you create when you're first setting up Help in APEX, mine is page 50), I added the following iframe tags in the header text of the page: \\      &lt;iframe src="../../i/doc/gradevalhelp/index.html" width="40%" height="50%" align="left"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;iframe name="contentwin" src="../../i/doc/gradevalhelp/topics/Concept_About_page_&REQUEST..html" width="60%" height="50%" align="right"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br&gt; \\      Note the &lt;br&gt; at the end. I had to put that in to prevent the item level help from printing over my content iframe. Again, someone who knows something about html could probably tell you the right way to do that. The DITA toolkit generates a base tag (&lt;base target="contentwin"/&gt;) in the head section of the index.html file, to make the target of the TOC links be the content frame. Notice how I use it to map the links in the first iframe to the second iframe on the APEX help page, by naming the second frame "contentwin". Notice how the &REQUEST. Substitution string is used to present the proper DITA html file. I also tried setting it up to use a calculated hidden item that looks up the page alias for the requesting page; this had the advantage of allowing me to name my DITA files using page alias instead of page number, but it was too slow.

    Look at all the apdiv's you have.  Those are absolutely positioned layers.  I'm assuming by your post that you are very new to Dreamweaver and HTML and CSS.  I would highly recommend not using absolutely positioned layers until you have a better grasp on HTML and CSS.
    Looking at your code I would suggest that you consider using one of Dreamweaver's built in, or downloadable templates as a starting point and work from there.

  • Creating Help System

    I am trying to create a help system in developer 6.0. I have printed out the instructions from the online help. I have run the script to create the d2khelp user and have entered my own application name and help text in the d2khmain.fmb. This is the form that is used by the d2khelp form. When I press F1 (for Help) in my form I get a Ora-01403 No Data Found error. I have put messages in to see where the trigger is hitting...this error is coming from the call to the library with all the help procedures.
    When I go into the d2khmain form and try to preview the help system I get two errors Frm-41080 and frm-41085. Error adding group Row Count.
    If anyone has created/successfully installed a Help system and could give me some pointers here that would be great. I am not sure where to go from here.
    Thank you,
