ABOUT ROBOHELP SERVER

Getting started

About RoboHelp Server

Adobe RoboHelp Server is a server-based Help solution that provides real-time end-user feedback on your Help and knowledgebase. RoboHelp Server gathers and logs data about what questions users ask while searching content and how users navigate through topics. Results are displayed in an easy-to-view graphical format for quick interpretation. Your Help system resides on a server (for example, Adobe Help Resource Center), and you can make instant updates to your Help system content.
RoboHelp Server contains the back-end processes, database functionality, and JDBC connections neces­sary to integrate it. RoboHelp Server works with the authoring tool, so authors can edit content, set master project options, maintain windows, and view reports.
RoboHelp Server interaction with different components
NOTE: With RoboHelp Server, you can install your database server on a separate machine or use any of
the existing database servers.

RoboHelp Server features

Tracking and reporting

Adobe RoboHelp Server provides end users with the ability to find information when they have ques­tions. Users can view content using any standard browser and operating system. Any number of users can access the published documents.
NOTE: You can define the maximum number of database connections for Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server
database management systems through the maxload property in the robohelp_server.properties file.
RoboHelp Server tracks the following types of data:
1
CHAPTER 1 GETTING STARTED
• Where users request assistance: Identifies the location where users make repeated requests for specific information.
• How users search: Searches that users perform repeatedly. This data can be mined to move frequently searched information to a more prominent position in the content for easier access. You can also use this information to find information gaps and to improve heading titles for more intu­itive navigation.
• How users navigate online content: Tracks how users seek information in online content and how frequently they access particular information such as headings and articles. This information is available at a topic level.
• RoboHelp Server tracks the entire operating system and browser details. You can use this informa­tion to improve the content quality for browsers preferred by users.
RESOURCES

Automatic project merging

Concurrently work on multiple projects and merge them into a single project at run time.
While building an online information system, authors can develop and publish their content according to their own schedules. RoboHelp Server provides automatic project merging, so authors can work on different parts of a project at the same time, and publish them to the same server. When end users view the content, they see one seamless online information system. Do not worry about sharing source or depending on a single author or project—all the separate projects are merged when users access the content. Users can navigate across all the projects using the Index, Contents, and Search buttons.
By default, projects are added to the Table of Contents in the order they are published to the server. You can customize this order in the Projects page of the Web Admin interface. When you merge projects, each project file in the authoring tool remains intact, but the keywords from the indexes and glossary terms are combined at run time, or when end users access the system from the server.

Support for languages other than English

The runtime interface (including Table of Contents, index, glossary, and search) can be automatically localized, and authors can publish projects written in various languages to the same server. RoboHelp Server supports localization for French, German and Japanese languages. You can change the display text on the user interface of the online system to another language, including text on the Contents, Index, and Search buttons.
In addition, end users can perform a full-text search of online content in their native language. This flex­ibility allows authors to develop content in languages other than English and take advantage of server-based online information systems.

Resources

Before you begin working with your software, take a few moments to read an overview of activation and the many resources available to you. You have access to instructional videos, plug-ins, templates, user communities, seminars, tutorials, RSS feeds, and much more.

What’s new in Adobe RoboHelp Server 10

Publishing enhancements

RoboHelp Server supports Responsive HTML5 output published from both RoboHelp (2017 release) and FrameMaker (2017 release). Along with WebHelp Pro and FlashHelp Pro, you can also publish Responsive HTML5 output on RoboHelp Server and perform tracking, reporting, and project merging for various proj­ects.
NOTE: If you are using 2015 version of RoboHelp and FrameMaker, then this feature is available with
update 3 or later of RoboHelp (2015 release) and update 3.1 or later of FrameMaker (2015 release).

Enhanced database support

RoboHelp Server supports Apache Derby version 10.7.1 as its default database. You don't have to install Apache Derby manually, as RoboHelp Server's installer installs Apache Derby on your system.

Technical enhancements

• Support for JDBC Connectivity - RoboHelp Server uses a database to store usage reports, users and group information, and Air Help comments. Database connection architecture has been enhanced in RoboHelp Server to support external databases using JDBC connectivity.
• LDAP sub-container lookup - RoboHelp Server supports integration with LDAP server which enables users to login to RoboHelp Server using their LDAP credentials. To integrate RoboHelp Server with LDAP, administrator has to provide base search node for users or groups in the LDAP tree. Till Robo­Help Server 9, only the users or groups which were directly under the specified nodes, could be authenticated from RoboHelp Server. Starting from RoboHelp Server 10, all users or groups which are in different sub-nodes within the base node can also be authenticated.
• Data Migration from RoboHelp Server 9 - RoboHelp Server 10 supports migration of content from RoboHelp Server 9. Migrating an older version of Microsoft SQL or Oracle server database will require the user to enter JDBC details for that server. In case you are migrating data from MS Access, then you must have MS Access Runtime installed on the destination machine (where Robo­Help Server 10 is installed). For more information see Migrate context data.

Reporting enhancements

RoboHelp Server 10 delivers new and enhanced reports that will help you better optimize the value of your Help content:
• New Dynamic filter tag usage report

8) Using the configured server details, publish projects to RoboHelp Server from RoboHelp or FrameMaker.
NOTE: Using the Configuration Manager is the recommended way of changing the default user ID
and password. However, you can also change the default credentials by editing the
robohelp_server.properties file in the <server-install-folder>\WEB-INF folder.
To do so, change the DefAdminUid and DefAdminPwd properties in this file and restart Tomcat.
NOTE: As an administrator, you can create users and assign them various rights (Publishing, Report
viewing, and Admin rights) for the server.
9) To view projects, open the browser and type the project URL in the address bar. For Example:
http://<server-name>:<port-number>/<context-name>/server?prj=<project
-name>
