Metadata not populating captions

I'd really appreciate some help with this problem... I want to set up a page of thumbnails and then display a selection of information from the metadata as a caption below each one. This has worked well in the past, but now only the info re the lens used (and any text I add in the captions text boxes) shows. I've tried re-inserting the images ensuring I'm using the 'place' command, re-linked the image, triple checked that the metadata is there (as it shows in photoshop, Bridge and in the image info itself) - but still nothing.
What's really wierd is that if i open a previous document (that worked), delete the captions and then re-generate static or live captions, it's all fine....but when I do the same thing using the same image with the same metadata and properly linked in my NEW document, it just won't do it! Though the caption set-up is the same etc. The only thing I can think of is that my new Iddesign document is 'faulty' in some way, or the programme itself is having a bad day??
I just can't work out what I'm missing, so any advice/help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.

Well I have good news and strange news. The good news is that when I linked the image file you posted to the file you posted, I was able to make your live captions work perfectly. I could also generate static captions and they worked as well. This suggested to me that you don't have a problem with your InDesign file per se or necessarily your image files. I opened your photo in Photoshop and Bridge (both CS5.5 versions) and was able to see the metadata that you wanted to include in your live captions in both programs the same as you were.
So, what's the problem then and why does it work for me and not you? I am running CS5.5 on a Mac. It may simply be the difference between CS5.5 and CS5. However, this is where things get strange. I thought I'd see if I could re-create your results. When I opened your photo in Photoshop and re-saved it as a JPG and/or a TIF I found that the EXIF metadata was removed (correction - not "removed" from the JPG or TIF file, but removed from view in InDesign) and the live and static captions no longer functioned. All other types of metadata (or so I assume, admittedly I didn't test absolutely everything) seemed to be intact. So, as you noted, your problem does seem to lie with the EXIF metadata. Just to be sure it wasn't a strange glitch with your photo, I pulled up a few of my own photos downloaded and untouched from my camera. Completely untouched images came through into InDesign with EXIF metadata intact and coming into the live/static captions correctly. Images manipulated in any way, including saved straight from the Camera Raw dialog as JPG or TIF formats lost their EXIF metadata.
A couple of potential solutions/thoughts...and perhaps someone else can build on this. There are some scripts out there and/or plugins that people have created to deal with the EXIF metadata issue. Looking around a bit, this one by Phil Harvey seems to be pretty popular, though I'm afraid I can't personally vouch for it: http://owl.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/index.html This isn't the only tool out there though, so if it's not the one for you, keep looking.
The fact that your photo worked for me in CS5.5 makes me think that there is a possibility that your photo was saved in a way that didn't remove the EXIF metadata and/or the metadata was still readable by CS5.5. If this is a feature you will be taking advantage of a lot it might be worth updating InDesign to a newer version, but keeping your photo processing method the same until you know that Adobe has worked out this problem.
And the low-tech, but most annoying process would be to manually copy and paste the metadata you want to show up in your live captions into "stand in" unused categories in another section of your metadata. For instance take the "ISO Speed" and put it in the "Description" category. If you used the same lens, film speed, camera, etc. for a batch of photos you could build a metadata template that could fill in most of the data for you. Really not the optimal solution, but better than not having it work at all. I'll let you know if I run across something better!

Not Writing Captions to IPTC???

When sorting my images, I need to add; caption, keywords, copyright notice, copyright URL, source, and author.
Until now I have always done this using two pages in the File Info Panel; Description and IPTC status.
Since upgrading to CS3, all of the libraries I am submitting to claim my images do not have captions in the IPTC. All the have is the image filename in it's place.
Is Bridge now writing to XMP instead of IPTC?
If I go to the description tab, and type 'young woman' in the 'description' field, then 'young woman' also appears under the 'description' heading in the 'IPTC content' tab indicating that it has written to IPTC. Yet still my captions are not being uploaded with my images? :S
Any ideas?

Hi Curt, thanks for your response! on my end there is no problem. I can see all the info fine. It just seems that for some unknown reason Adobe prefers to store their metadata in XMP as opposed to the worldwide standard of IPTC. And there is no option to change it either.
I am looking into software called iMatch now!

Batch characteristic value not populated!

Hello guys,
please would appreciate advice to following:
I created two reference chars z_goods_receipt (MCH1-LWEDT) and z_created_on (MCH1-ERSDA). Chars assigned to material batch class. During GR in Classification Dates (chars values) are visible, but after GR is saved, in batch chars values are not populated.
Consequently, I can not use these chars in sorting criterium for delivery batch determination - batches are not sorted acocrding to dates.
Batches on material level. In Customizing (Classify batches within goods mvt), for mvt 101 setting is 4 (Classification always in foreground (all batches)) - but bug remains even if i try with other options. Check with developer shows not much help from EXIT_SAPMM07M_004 or EXIT_SAPMM07M_004 or EXIT_SAPLV01Z_012.
Any idea how to populate these chars in batch?
Alternatively, what else I could use in order to enable FIFO batch determination for batches in delivery?
Thanks for prompt replies!
Br, Jan

Hello,
SAP reply -standard behaviour. After save in MSC2n values read from MCH1, after that in MSC3N value read from AUSP.
Issue solved using non reference charactereristic and adding code into ZXMBCU04.

Hi,
Syntax
ASSIGN mem_area TO <fs> casting_spec range_spec.
Effect
This statement assigns the memory area specified using mem_area to the field symbol <fs>. You can assign a data object or a memory area calculated from the address of a data object. After the assignment, the field symbol refers to the assigned memory area and can be used in operand positions. When used in a statement, it behaves like a dereferenced data reference, meaning that the statement works with the content of the memory area.
The data type with which the assgigned memory area is treated, depends on the specifications in casting_spec. You can either execute an explicit casting or the field symbol takes on the data type of the data object specified in the assignment. A field symbol to which a memory area is assigned, has this data type after the assignment and behaves like a data object of this type.
The assigned memory area mem_area must be at least as long as the data type specified in casting_spec and must have the same alignment. If the data type determined in casting_spec is deep, the deep components with their type and position must appear in the assigned memory area exactly like this.
Use the specifications in range_spec to restrict the memory area that can be assigned to the field symbol.
You have to assign it back to internal table to modify the content.
Check in debug mode if you have still doubt.

Raju

Fields not populated in cube

hi experts,
i have one problem i have sales item,and header dso's which i have loaded the data using flat files.when am trying to load to cube some of the fields of header is not getting populated.when i am loading only header data that time it is showing the data in cube.when i am loading item data also that time some of the fields of header are not populating in cube.i have tried by taking two seperate cubes for header and item and tried to loading data to multiprovider. but same issue came.for ur reference i am providing screen shots of that. this is multi provider screen shot in this u can observe that division ,region and some fields are not populating data. in local sand box i have done this please help me to resolve this issue.
header cube screen shot before loading to multiprovider.
item cube screen shot before loading to multiprovider.
regards
jaswanthi

How are you "loading" to a MultiProvider? A MultiProvider is merely a "view" on 1 or more InfoProviders, nothing gets loaded in it.
The screen shot of your MultiProvider shows data of your items InfoCube only... have you filtered on the InfoProvider field? If not, try and filter on your header InfoCube and see whether it shows any data. If not, then there's something wrong with your mappings in the MultiProvider definition.
It's perfectly normal to have empty fields if you're combining 2 InfoProviders into 1 MultiProvider. If that's not what you want, you should consider an InfoSet (which "joins" data) or model it so that when you're sending item data to a new InfoCube, you "look up" the missing header data in your header data DSO and add it.

The assignment field remains empty. I have checked some documents in the other company codes where this field is being populated with the date in the yyyymmdd.
Please let me know what controls this and how can I make this field populate.

Th Sory key for the GL for that company code should have the document date as the sort key.... check in FS00

0PM_ORDER - WBS element not populated by extractor

Hi all
Just wondering if anyone has experienced a similar problem.
We use this data source as part of our PM master data loads. It runs every night, no problem. Iu2019m busy with a new user requirement regarding Project (WBS) costs as posted on PM orders, and I was pleased to see that 0PM_ORDER has field PROID (WBS) on it already u2013 thought I was half way to building my query!
Except, the field is not populated. Even when I run the extractor on the R/3 system to test (for an order type PM05 on which WBS element is a required entry), I never get any values in this field. I had a look on SDN and OSS and have seen a number of posts about the conversion exits relating to WBS elements, but this presupposes that a value is being populated in the extractor, which in my case is not happening.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Regards, Lara

0PM_Order extracts the data of WBS element on the tab "location" on the PM order (IW33). It doesnt extract the WBS element on the tab "Additional data".
I am not sure how these WBS elements are different, your PS consultant might have an answer. Either you can have user exit to fill this field or ask your ECC abap consultant to fill the same in both fields of order, if doesnt make any difference. I am also in same situation, keep me posted if you have have get any new information from your PS consultant or SAP.

S_Tcode not populating in simulation

Hello-
When running a simulation in CC 5.2, and using permission level analysis, you have to manually add s_tcode in the object table.
Steps:
Insert a role, press simulation, add an action, click on the objects button; s_tcode is not populated. When it is not added, it is not causing any conflicts, which is incorrect. In an older version of CC 4.0, before a support pack was installed, this problem was evident. Is it a product-level issue with CC 5.2? If so, how do you work-around it?
This is an urgent issue, since we have to run simulations almost everyday, as we have not implemented Risk Terminator. Thanks!...
Noah
Edited by: Noah Phillip on Feb 26, 2008 7:51 PM

Ibrahim-
Yes, I understand, but not inserting s_tcode in the object manually produces wrong results after executing the simulation. Inserting s_tcode manually produces the correct results.
The same issue was evident in CC 4.0, until SAP produced a patch for it. I am wondering if they overlooked this patch while developing CC 5.2...

Virtual Characteristic value not populating in the query output

Hi Experts,
I am new to BAPI and I am using this to populate the values of virtual characteristics.
I wrote the below code to populate if an order status got some status value then i need to populate the flag y if not n.
I got the order value in the reprot. I need to go to order master data and should get the status and then i have to do the comparision and populate the flag zww_teco in the report.
The below is the compute method of my implementation class.
FIELD-SYMBOLS :
<fs_0cs_order> TYPE ANY,
<fs_zww_teco> TYPE ANY,
<fs_status> TYPE ANY.
if p_cha_0cs_order > 0.
ASSIGN COMPONENT p_cha_0cs_order OF STRUCTURE C_S_DATA to <fs_0cs_order>.
endif.
if p_cha_zww_teco > 0.
ASSIGN COMPONENT p_cha_zww_teco OF STRUCTURE C_S_DATA to <fs_zww_teco>.
endif.
Select single /BIC/ZSYSTATUS
    from /BI0/PCS_ORDER into <fs_status>
   where CS_ORDER = <fs_cs_order>.
if <fs_status> CP 'TECO'.
<fs_zww_teco> = 'Y'.
else.
    <fs_zww_teco> = 'N'.
endif.
But I am not sure why the values are not populated. But when i debug , i could see the values for
P_cha_0cs_order = 35
p_cha_zww_teco = 54
But i could get the values of <fs_0cs_order>, <fs_zww_teco> after assign component statement.
And it is firing me a dump in select statement. Also when I click c_s_data i am getting S____274, S____505 fields like that in the structure but i could see p_cha_0cs_order
Can you please guide where i am missing ...
Thanks

Hi Sushant,
RSRT --> Enter Query Name
Click on Technical Information --> If " Virtual Char./Key Figures " = Y
In my case , even then i clciked generate report,
even after that P_CHA_0CS_ORDER = 35
and after assign component P_CHA_0CS_ORDER of structure c_s_data to <FS_0CS_ORDER>.
the <FS_0CS_ORDER> is nothing , here i should get the value of cs_order value of that record but it is coming empty which i am not able to rectify. How should i change or i need to put any other setting to get the value populated into my <FS_0CS_ORDER>.
Can you please guide me .
Thanks

Value not populating in the print out (sales order) for the 1st time

Hi friends,
While saving a sales order, the order confirmation going to the user is not populating the LDC field. LDC is Last date of change. This field can be found in the Additonal data 2 tab of the material in the sales order. When I enter a date in this field and save, the print preview of the output has this value, but the print out does not carry this value.
Another weird thing about this issue is that, the second time i trigger the output, the print out has the value.
Please give me some clue on where to check and how to go about fixing this problem.
Regards,
Shanu.

Dear Shanu,
This issue may be related bug in the output program so take help of ABAPer to fix the issue.
I hope this will help you,

Hi Kumar,
Some changes done in your PRD server.If yes then contact abap consultant regarding the same.
Because these type of problem comes when you do transport or changes done in the system.
