Seeking info on using RoboHelp 9 with ClearCase 8.0

My company is planning to use RoboHelp 9.0 to develop a help file for a custom application.  We are obligated to use ClearCase 8.0 as the version control software for the RoboHelp files.  We plan to have multiple authors for a single RoboHelp project.  They will need to work on the project at the same time, although not the same topic.  I am seeking help in four areas:

  • What is the best way to set up ClearCase and RoboHelp so that ClearCase can be used as the version control software for RoboHelp projects?

  • What is the best way to upload a new RoboHelp project to ClearCase?

  • What is the best way to check out RoboHelp files from ClearCase that will allow multiple authors to work on different topics of the same project at the same time?

  • What is the best practice to check in the updated files?

Thanks in advance for any insights you can provide.

Hi,

Does ClearCase support the Microsoft MSSCCI provider? If it does, you should be able to use ClearCase with RoboHelp. You would need to install the MSSCCI provider and the version control client. You can add the project to source control from within the project itself.

The RoboHelp Developer center has a few articles about adding RoboHelp to different version control systems, although ClearCase is not described. But the articles will give you an idea of what you need to do to make it work. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/robohelp.html
