Hi, I'm using RH 10 with linked FM 11 files to create a WebHelp project and this is what happens when I do an update or force update of a linked file in the RH project: After the update, the topic that contains updated content gets deleted from project TOC in RH.After the update, any Map IDs assigned to the topic that contains the updated content are deleted. Can someone please advise how to update a linked file without losing TOC entries or Map IDs? Thanks a bunch!Gabe

Hi,

I'm using RH 10 with linked FM 11 files to create a WebHelp project and this is what happens when I do an update or force update of a linked file in the RH project:

After the update, the topic that contains updated content gets deleted from project TOC in RH.
After the update, any Map IDs assigned to the topic that contains the updated content are deleted.

Can someone please advise how to update a linked file without losing TOC entries or Map IDs?

Thanks a bunch!

HI Gabe,

You will want to link the TOC from FM in your conversion settings, and set the map id's via TopicAlias markers in FM.

Hi Matt,

Can you point me to the dialog for linking the TOC in my conversion settings? Is it Project Settings > Edit conversion settings for FM > ?

I'll research TopicAlias markers in FM...

Jeff, I was setting up both the TOC and Map IDs in RH - sounds like I need to set it up to come from FM.

Thanks!

Gabe

Presuming you've done an Update Book operation in FM first, are you right-clicking and doing a Force Update All in RH? That should pull it all in again from FM.

Everything works fine with the "Force Update All." I was hoping I could update individual files at a time but I guess that's what causes the issue. Now I know. Thanks for your help!

2 questions - where's your ToC coming from? FM or RH? and how are you doing your Map IDs? Are they set in FM as marker text or are you assigning them in RH?
