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.
