FrameMaker and SharePoint

[Michael Norton]

We are moving from an older revision control system (StarTeam) to SharePoint 
v2013. We are using unstructured Frame and will mainly use SharePoint as a 
repository for our Frame, RoboHelp, Word, and associated graphics files. We are 
currently on FrameMaker v10, but will be moving to v12 soon. I have the 
connection set up in CMS | Configuration Manager and it seems to be working OK, 
VPN willing.

Any words to the wise from people who have already done this?

Our needs are pretty basic - IT wants us off StarTeam and we just want an 
accessible repository that a small number of writers (1-3) can easily get to.

So far, it seems a little slower than StarTeam and there is a 100 file upload 
limitation. Several of our books have more than 100 referenced graphics files. 
SharePoint doesn't seem to want to let me drag and drop folders, only files. 
This will make for a tedious transition, unless I can find a way around this 
limitation.

Sorry to not give you answers to your specific questions, but you may want to 
consider changing to another system to make it simple.

I believe that with a small number of users, free on-line versions of Git 
hosted solutions are perhaps the best way to go.

For example, check out Github (www.github.comhttp://www.github.com) and 
BitBucket (www.bitbucket.orghttp://www.bitbucket.org) - BitBucket is free for 
up to 5 users with unlimited repositories (no file limits).

RE: FrameMaker and SharePoint

[Michael Norton]

Hi Zaeem,

Thanks for replying. I'll look at these comparisons, but I fear the PTB are 
pushing this change. I'm not sure Doc will be allowed to go a separate way.

I can see some benefit in being able to check in and check out files directly 
from Frame and also update dependent files. With our current system (which is 
very old) everything is manual.

SVN, however, may be an option.

There's no benefit to integration with a system that can't handle your projects.

A lot of SharePoint's claimed capabilities are implemented more as
proofs of concept than to meet the actual requirements of real-world
use. The 100-file limit tells me that revision control is one of
those.

FrameMaker and SharePoint (user request)

[Bernard Aschwanden (Publishing Smarter)]

Hi all:

Quick question. Is anyone on the list using FrameMaker with a SharePoint
implementation and having success with it? I've got a client that is
considering this combination and I wanted to see what your thoughts are.

It would be structured (DITA) with FrameMaker 12 and SharePoint. Ideally
it's someone in the general vicinity of Toronto (Ottawa, Montreal, Boston,
NY) but if you are further out, that's okay. I'd like to get some ideas on
what works (and what might not be working) in your environment.

Please contact me offlist and I can arrange for a followup phone call.

Many thanks,

Bernard

Is it possible, Cynthia, that your company is asking you to put everything on a 
wiki within SharePoint. That's the only way you could put the information there

 Do you have any FM add-ons such as RoboHelp, WebWorks, or MIF2Go?

Re: Converting Framemaker to Sharepoint

[Jang F.M. Graat]

Hello Cindy,

Maybe I am blonde but I don't get it. Your company wants authors to write 
content in SharePoint ???

I hadn't heard of this great new editor called SharePoint. Actually, the 
Microsoft SharePoint does not mention an integrated editor. They just assume 
everyone on this planet uses Microshot Office.

I do know that you can connect to Sharepoint from FrameMaker and use Sharepoint 
as a CMS - which is what I had understood it really is. Not a good CMS, and 
certainly not the CCMS that modern documentation developers need, but yes, it 
can store stuff for you. Converting to Sharepoint sounds like some people 
have no idea what the heck they are talking about. Unfortunately, such people 
are often in control of business and get to call the shots.

If they want you to convert to Word from FrameMaker, it is really time to go 
look for another job...

Good luck. You'll need it

Re: Converting Framemaker to Sharepoint

[David Spreadbury]

cynthia,
Excuse me if i sound ignorant, I didn't realize there was a Sharepoint to 
convert to. Sharepoint is, according to the Sharepoint 2010 Walkthrough Guide: 
SharePoint 2010 is the business collaboration platform of choice for the 
enterprise and the Internet.

It isn't a page layout or document processing tool, like FrameMaker, Word, and 
others.

Converting FrameMaker to Sharepoint tell me they want all the documentation in 
Microsoft Word. Word works well with Sharepoint. Large documents, especially as 
you add tables and illustrations, typical for Manuals or User Guides, doesn't 
work well in Word.

Your decision makes need to compare apples and apples, not apples and car 
engines. More information is available at http://www.microsoft.com/sharepoint. 
Get a copy of the Walkthrough Guide. Read the Introduction.

To follow on to David's explanation…FrameMaker connects to SharePoint.

Of course that doesn't mean they'll let you use it, but they're not mutually 
exclusive.

Re: Converting Framemaker to Sharepoint

[quills]

Cynthia,

I must agree with David and Matt. I use FrameMaker to create our process 
and user manuals for our company. We distribute the media (PDF files) to 
our users through SharePoint sites. Basically, SharePoint is turnkey 
operation for making restrictive websites. It allows some form of 
content version control, and sharing of documents through reference. It 
also has templates for various types of sites, from collaboration to 
document libraries. It supports calendars, forms, and other little things.


It's a shovel trying to masquerade as an elegant dinner setting.

What it isn't is a content development tool. You can't write, edit or do 
anything other than store and present created documents from other 
tools, like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, FrameMaker, InDesign or even Notepad.


Whomever is selling you this, is either not very conversant with what 
the application (SharePoint), or is very dishonest.


You get to name the beast. I would advise you to challenge this person 
to demonstrate how you will be creating content on SharePoint. And then 
you may need a large stick to beat them with.

Re: Converting Framemaker to Sharepoint

SharePoint is not a format. It supports a wide variety of formats. Can
you be more specific about what you're supposed to do?

Typically people use SharePoint as a library for Microsoft Office
documents, so you could export to Word and put that in SharePoint. Or
you could save as PDF and put that in SharePoint, though in my
experience it doesn't work as well with non-MS formats.

Do you have any FM add-ons such as RoboHelp, WebWorks, or MIF2Go?

It isn't a page layout or document processing tool, like FrameMaker, Word, and 
others.

Converting FrameMaker to Sharepoint tell me they want all the documentation in 
Microsoft Word. Word works well with Sharepoint. Large documents, especially as 
you add tables and illustrations, typical for Manuals or User Guides, doesn't 
work well in Word.

FrameMaker and SharePoint

[Fred Staal]

Hi All,

Currently, our FrameMaker files and referenced graphics (etc.) are archived in 
a network environment (with FM licenses on individual computers).  Soon, a 
large number of graphics (in PDF) that COULD be imported by reference into 
Framemaker will be available within SharePoint.

This is all new to me, and I am in the process of learning about the benefits 
and issues with using files kept in Sharepoint If you are currently working in 
this type of environment, or using SharePoint to hold the .fm files as well, I 
would appreciate your comments on how well the process works, what to watch out 
for, or any information sources that are available.

Thanks,
Fred

Framemaker will be available within SharePoint.

This is all new to me, and I am in the process of learning about the benefits 
and issues with using files kept in Sharepoint If you are currently working in 
this type of environment, or using SharePoint to hold the .fm files as well, I 
would appreciate your comments on how well the process works, what to watch out 
for, or any information sources that are available.

Thanks,
Fred

RE: FrameMaker and SharePoint

[Shuttleworth, Roger]

Hello Lester

I used SharePoint in a previous life. No problems with it as regards 
FrameMaekr, except that:

1. Version control for FM binaries consists of storing copies, not diffs.
2. If I remember correctly, SharePoint does not search the content of FM files 
(though it does Office documents and PDF, I believe).
3. There is a cryptic error message that pops up when file paths exceed 255 
characters, so don't nest your files too deeply and keep folder/file names
short.

Hope this helps.

RE: FrameMaker and SharePoint

[O'Laoghaire Micheal]

I think many Content Management systems have problems in 'diffing'
binary files, so they don't try - they just save complete copies with
each 'change'. We previously used Documentum/FrameLink and that was how
that system operated also.

We have recently installed SharePoint in our company and I have just
started playing around with it. I checked in a whole (unstructured)
book, along with a graphics sub-folder.
If I check out the book only, the version increments. I can then edit
the book by clicking on it in Sharepoint. I can then open the chapters
etc normally - just as if they were on a conventional file server. Cross
references and referenced graphics work normally. 
If I change a chapter file, SharePoint recognizes that and checks the
chapter file out. However, it does not increment the chapter version
then or when I check it back in. Effectively the checkout/checkin
operation just becomes a flag and the system behaves like a 'dumb' file
server. 

If you want the chapters to version, then you have to check them out
first,

We use Sharepoint to publish the PDFs but not to store the source files.  We
use StarTeam for that.
No problems with either.
