Dzbatcher and build automation - urgent help needed
I have inherited a Frame build process that uses Ant scripts and a combination of dzbatcher and Webworks to generate PDF and HTML versions of our docs. In general this works very well, but occasionally it seems that dzbatcher cannot get the connection to Frame and my scripts stop waiting for dzbatcher to continue. I've tried putting a timeout in the Ant execute statement, but it doesn't make any difference. I think the problem is that dzbatcher starts, so Ant doesn't know that its waiting for something. I then tried putting a ping statement at the start of my dzbatcher script as this is also supposed to kill dzbatcher if there is no connection. Well this didn't fix the problem either, its like that script is not being launched. I know that Frame is started because I get the splash screen and I can see it on the task bar, so I know those parts are working. Somehow I'm getting lost between launching Frame and getting the script to run. Has anyone seen a problem like this? Any suggestions for replacing dzbatcher? I need something that I can start at the command line.

I have a Frame 7.0 doc that appears to be locked? I can open in frame but can't edit...none of the normal dropdown menus appear. this file was part of an archived book (winzip). I need to make changes (due today) and the bugger won't let me! All the rest of the files open fine. I know i'm doing something stupid, but just don't have the time to figure it out on my own. So, tossing ego aside, I'm begging for your speedy assistance! anyone seen this or know how to "unlock" the doc? thanks so much in advance! Bryan Bryan K. Johnson Senior Technical Writer Motoman Inc.
