32.4.1 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 §34 Converting via runfm
- use the Mif2Go DCL filter at a command prompt to convert MIF files; see §35 Converting via DCL.
• within FrameMaker, have Mif2Go do any or all of the following:
- assemble files, compile Help systems, and archive deliverables; see §33 Producing deliverable results
- execute system commands before the conversion, before compiling and archiving, at the end of archiving, or all three; see §32.4.2 Executing system commands before and after conversion
- prompt you for run-time values for user variables (except, of course, during unattended operation); see §32.4.3 Supplying run-time values for user variables.
