34.3 Considering ways to automate conversions
To automate Mif2Go conversions, you can do either or both of the
following:
- from outside FrameMaker, run one or more conversion
projects unattended; either:
- set up FrameMaker to run from the command line,
invoke Mif2Go automatically, and optionally close when all
conversions are finished; see §36 Converting
via runfm
- use the Mif2Go DCL filter at a command prompt to convert MIF
files; see §37 Converting
via DCL.
- within FrameMaker, have Mif2Go do any or all of the following:
- assemble files, compile Help systems, and archive
deliverables; see §35 Producing
deliverable results
- execute system commands before the conversion,
before compiling and archiving, at the end of archiving, or all three;
see §34.4 Executing operating-system commands
- prompt you for run-time values for user variables
(except, of course, during unattended operation); see §34.5 Supplying run-time values for user variables.
