RH 11 hangs when trying to compile parallel projects.

[RoboSister]

I'm using RH11, HTML Help. Help is compiled in automatic build environment using command prompt. RH hangs when trying to compile parallel projects in different sessions.

A guess only. The command is not opening fresh instances of Rh so it is trying to process each build in one instance.

Sorry but haven't seen anyone pose this question before and it's not a feature I use.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the quick response. Here are a few more information:

We are using RH in a build server environment, not the UI, but the RHCL compiler directly. When RH is invoked, each compiler runs in its own process.

I would assume that command prompt compilation in a build server environment is fairly common in SW engineering.

I should also mention that this process worked perfectly fine with RH9. Since we upgraded to RH11 recently, the build generation process hangs directly after issuing the RH command prompt. The strange thing is that the hang-up occurs frequently, but not all the time. There are no error messages whatsoever that could give us a hint about the reason for this error.

We suspect that Adobe has changed their sign-in process because the process stops at such an early stage.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I have unmarked you last reply as Correct Answer because it isn't an answer.

I don't know whether things changed but I will see what I can find out.

I'm so sorry, I dropped the ball on this one. Before I pursue it further, have you resolved the problem at your end?
