How to keep A3 library stored in different locations in sync.

Hello,
I use referenced files, however, even having relatively small previews stored within A3, one of my libraries is over  34GB.
Main library is stored on MP. However, to do images selection, sorting, key-wording, etc. whenever I have free time and no access to MP, I copy the A3 libraries to my MBP. To copy latest versions from one computer to another takes time as I copy entire libraries.
The question: is there are any way to copy only parts of a library that are modified or newly added?
Hopefully there are more A3 users that need the same functionality and there is an easy way implemented to A3 already.

I did some research about information merging to A3 libraries.
Firstly, I copied A3 library from one computer to another and did some changes in one of libraries. Then I tried to import entire library from one computer to another selecting "merge" option. It failed right from the beginning bringing the "The library could not be imported because it is a duplicate of the library currently running" message.
Then on MBP I created an empty library and imported entire library from MP, did some meta data changes in one of libraries and tried to import entire library to unchanged one. My fault was that I played with my original relatively big library therefore it took some time. After an import process I realized that no changes were applied. I tried it another time selecting another library to resolve conflicts - same result.
I did more experiments, however the only way to get changes merged into a library was to export modified project and merge it to another library. Then, because the project is duplicated I had to remove an original one and  relocate to correct place the one I just imported.
During these experiments I found that:
- if during an "Export a project as New Library…" to leave "Include previews in exported library" unchecked, visiting newly imported library for the first time it takes a few moments to regenerate thumbnails (smaller versions of preview) and some thumbnails are distorted. And it is a bug of generating thumbnails from the previews. If a thumbnail is generated but distorted, to fix it one can open a preview, wait until "Loading…" at the top of a image disappears and close the preview or by right mouse click, holding Opt/Alt and choosing "Generate previews" from menu. However, this works fine if the thumbnails of the images are already generated and if not, this "Generate previews" is useless. Which means it is necessary to go to "Photos" and wait until all the thumbnails are generated and then use this "Generate previews" option to heal broken thumbs.
I discovered this after I activated "Photos", but did not scrolled down to force A3 to generate thumbnails, hit Ctrl + A (select all) and "Generate previews". Previews regeneration took about 10 hours on my 24GB RAM 3.33GHz Mac Pro. When it is done, scrolling through images I found that thumbs are not created and some of ones that are appearing/generating during my scroll are distorted. The results of this quite long test were disappointing.
I have one more question: I found an option to export metatags from an A3 project, however, I did not find the way to import/apply the exported metadata to the pictures it belong to but located in another library.

  • How to Move My Library to a New Location

    The title is a bit misleading.  This is actually related to a previous discussion I started but never got any feedback on.
    Here is the situation:
    I have iTunes Match.
    For whatever reason, my iTunes library got hopelessly muddled and confused.  Probably user error.
    I decided to move the library to a new location (different external hard drive).
    I completely uninstalled iTunes and all Apple software from pc.  (yes, i have a mac but easier to keep this on the desktop).
    I reinstalled iTunes, but something is still there, because my library immediately showed up.  I turned off iTunes Match, updated the preferences to point to the new location and turned iTunes Match back on. 
    iTunes does not "see" my new library location, and tells me that all music is only in the cloud.
    How can I make it re-scan the hard drive and recognize that the music is all there?
    The big problem this causes is that, as I add music, it's impossible to tell what is really physically there and what needs to be downloaded.
    Thanks for any suggestions or help.  Perhaps I need to uninstall in a more thorough way, if so, I welcome help with that.

    Thanks Cander.
    I've been syncing my iPod this way since I first got my 3Gen iPod a few years ago (i'm on my 4th ipod) - and I know they've made improvements to iTunes.
    Is there a better way to achieve what I wanna do with just 1 computer?
    Is there a way to manage 2 or 3 iPods on 1 computer using seperate "itl" or "xml" files for each iPod's library?
    As it is now, I still have to go to My wife's computer and "add files or folders" to her library to get the newest tracks to add to her library - and over the network, it could take a full day If I did the whole library. Instead I write down what I've added on my Mac and just go through on her computer and add those folders.
    I've read some things about holding down a "shift" or "command" key to select a library on iTunes startup... (part of my discovery on how I F-ed up my library when moving it in the first place)
    Would this be the way to achieve that?
    Can I have 3 seperate data files that manage the preferred tracks for 3 different iPods?
    Would I have to update all 3 data files or would they all stay current when I added tracks?
    EDITED - well wait...!

  • How to keep same database with two different names in SharePoint 2013 for two different applications

    Hi All,
    I have very strange situation.
    I had SP2010 production database(wss_content_contoso) migrated to SP13 few months back to migrate one site collection only while I have 15 site collections stored in this database and created a site contoso.com
    Now, I want to migrate same(wss_content_contoso) SP2010 database to SP13 and want to create contoso2.com.
    I changed database name from wss_content_contoso to wss_content_contoso2 and assigned newID during mount process.
    After this exercise, I don't see any site for contoso2.com and issue seems to be the same database. 
    My question is!!!!
    How I can keep both databases(actually same database with different names) and run both application simultaneously?
    Any help appreciated!!
    Thank you,

    You need to run Backup-SPSite/Restore-SPSite on each Site Collection you want to 'duplicate'. You cannot restore the same Content Database to the same farm as the Site Collections have the same GUID, which is stored globally for the farm.

  • How to use JavaSript library stored in mime type repository???

    Hi Experts
    I currently have the situation that I would like to deploy several JavaScript functions in a multitude of templates. I need my own JavaScript functions as the provided functionality is not sufficient.
    I have figured that I can add my function by using the script item and that works fine, but it requires the script to be entered in every template.
    My idea is to store the central JS file in the mime type repository and then reference it, however it doesn't seem to work.
    Does anybody have an idea on how to make it work or alternatively have a central JavaScript library that is used by several different templates?
    Thanks for your help, regards,

  • How to keep messages in sequence of different interfaces (using queues?)

    Dear experts,
    I'm running a scenario in which a job in one system creates and deletes orders in another system via XI (using idocs). I'm sending 100 times more creations than deletions.
    These are two different interfaces. Therefore they use different queues.
    My problem now is that sometimes a deletion enters the target system before the the creation of this order has taken place. Because the queue is much shorter for deletion, these are processed earlier.
    How can I make sure that message from two different interfaces enter and then exit xi in the same sequence? Is it possible to assign them to the same outbound queue?
    Please advice.
    Thanks in advance.

  • How to keep my library when I get new computer

    When I got a new computer and tried to tried to transfer an audio book into my iphone I got a message that I had to click "sync manually" ..... when I tried to do this I got a message that if I did it itunes would erease my entire library and then I would lose anything that was not purchased from the itunes store. I did and it did. Why is this?

    By default your iTunes library is in a iTunes folder is in your "music" folder. you can copy your iTunes to a flash drive or external hard drive ind paste it into your new computers music folder. If that folder is not there your iTunes cant find the old library info. It will tell you that your device is synced with another library and it will erase and sinc to the new one. When importing the old library into the new computer "Copy and Replace". Also you need to bring the music, audio books, and anything else that is in your old library to the new computer or you will get a message that iTunes could not find the songs or whatever you are trying to sync.

  • Apple's Mail app keeps jumping away to a different message when syncing....

    Its been an issue since iOS 5.x for me at least.
    I use the Apple Mail app on my iPhone 4s, because simple is good enough.  But has this very annoying tendancy to jump out of the message I'm looking at and pull up another old message in the message view, when it syncs with the various mailboxes.  Always seems to jump to the same old message.
    Any ideas why and how to get Apple to fix thier mail app?  If thats not gonna happen, how do I remove Apple's mail app and point all things mail to a new app of my choosing?
    My setup, I read several mail accounts via the Apple Mail app:
    Gmail EXCHANGE connection ( my main mail account and listed first in the Mailboxes list)
    Another gmail accout, connected as a gmail mail account
    Hotmail account
    When I'm reading (viewing) a message, and a new sync happens, Mail jumps out of the message I was looking at and pulls up an old message from the gmail (as a gmail connection) message (account #2 in the list above).
    Its REALLY annoying.  Syncing is fine, but DO NOT change what the user is viewing as you sync.. why would you?

    Annoyingly still happening in iOS 6.1.3 to this day.
    I'll be reading a message in my main Gmail account, and the Apple Mail app checks for mail and then just jumps to show a message in a completley different mail inbox account .. a message that is rather old even.
    How is this desireable behavior ?
    If someone upgraded to iOS 7.xx and found they had this problem but its since been fixed, please let us know here. 

  • How to receive output of Stored Procedure in OSB as Sync Reply

    Dear OSB Experts-
    I need help for the following scenario as part of our requirements:
    1. We have a OSB proxy Service which receives Input Msg from a JMS Queue, does validation and transformation of the message and publishes the transformed msg to a business service.
    2. The Business Service uses the DB Adapter framework to call a Stored Proc.
    Our requirement is to send the output of the stored procedure back to the OSB Service in a Sync Reply and subsequently the OSB service will do further processing.
    Also in case of exceptions in stored procedure we need to catch it and send back the exact SQL Exception Msg to OSB.
    However we are not able to figure out how do we capture and send the output of the stored procedure back to OSB.
    Can someone please provide pointers on the same.
    Thanks in advance for your inputs.
    Regards,
    Dibya

    Hi Dibya,
    Please refer -

    Above thread has discussed that how to call stored procedure from OSB. Do a service callout and in response variable you would receive the response from OSB. In stage error handler capture the error and do the required processing.

  • How to move *MY* uploaded videos between different itunes - not sync

    I've uploaded a number of videos I own and/or created to iTunes, so they appear as movies under my iTunes library. I've also successfully moved my iTunes library to a number of different macs I have using the kb articles.
    Now what I need to do is move SOME, not all, of the videos, to another system and another exsiting and robust iTunes library. I don't want to move the entire iTunes library, my music, or photos, and I don't want to move all the movies or videos - just a couple of them.
    Is there an EASY way to do this that does not involved wiping out an entire existing iTunes library???? and then trying to merge the old one back with the new one?
    Ideally, I would like to shove them onto stick and move them via USB.....
    Thank you in advance.

    In iTunes, select the items then drag them from the iTunes window to the USB stick on the desktop.
    Plug it into the other computer then File > Add to library and select the USB stick.

    You did backup the data on the computer before formating it, correct?  Not doing so would be extremely dumb.

  • How to store ASO dat file in different location

    Hello Everyone,
    i have a requirement where I need to store the .dat(ASO) file in a location other than the folder where the application artifcats are stored. In BSO, We can right click the database, edit, properties and in Storage tab we can choose where Data and Index files have to be stored. Do we have similar option for ASO too? because, the space we have for the application folders are limited and we have a separate SAN drive for storing data and index file and thats where BSO .pag files are stored. Since our ASO cube is growing I want to move the data to a location where BSO data is stored, i mean to the designated drive for data. Any suggestions will be much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Yes, ASO has the concept of 'tablespaces'. There are four (default, temp, log and metadata) but you probably just want to move the 'default' and 'temp' tablespaces to your SAN location. Temp will look really small (i.e. empty) until you run a restructure or aggregation and then it'll explode to the size of the default tablespace so it's important not to miss.
    See the section on 'Managing Storage for ASO Databases' here http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/esb_dbag/asysadmn.html, or the 'alter tablespace' MaxL command here http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/esb_tech_ref/maxl_alttabl.html.
    EDIT: Actually, looking at the documentation, I see that you can't move the metadata or log tablespaces. But you're probably only going to care about 'default' and 'temp' anyway.
