Source file structure when importing a qualified table

Hello MDM:ers
I need to import a qualified table into the following repository
(it is simplified to illustrate the problem):
Main table: Products
Fields: ID (int), Name (Text), Part number (Qualified)
Qualified Table: Part Numbers
Fields: Manufacturer (Lookup), Part Number (Text)
Lookup table: Manufacturers
Fields: Name (Text)
The source file is a very large text file that has the following structure:
Part ID          Name     Part no. Manuf 1     Part no. Manuf2
123          Nut     ABC               XYZ
456          Bolt     DEF               QWV
The result Im looking for Is to map a file structured a above so that two main table records are created (Nut and Bolt) which both have two qualified table records for each manufacturer. I have not been able to create such a map. I have tried to partitioning and combining fields without success.
I have no problem creating the map if I manually restructure the file to look like:
Part ID          Name     Manufacturer           Part Number
123          Nut     Manufacturer 1          ABC
123          Nut     Manufacturer 2          XYZ
456          Bolt     Manufacturer 1          DEF
456          Bolt     Manufacturer 2          QWV
It where a way to import the file directly in MDM without restructuring it?

Hi Alexander,
MDIS will not work fine if you have multiple tables as the mapping is saved only for 1 table. If you have multiple tables then after performing the process of Pivoting/Reverse pivoting, you will have to use joins.
Join the other tables as Lookup in the Main Table
Save all your configuration in a map. And then configure the map in the port.
It should then work with the MDIS also.
hope it helps.
Thanks and Regards

Retaining existing file structure when importing into Iphoto 8

Hello,
I'm new to the list and to iphoto. I'm an historian, and I have about 10,000 images of documents on my mac, all divided into dozens of folders, sub-folders, and sub-sub folders, depending on where the documents originated in the collections I was researching. I'd like to be able to work with these images in Iphoto 8. When I tried to import a folder that contained photos in sub-folders, Iphoto simply imported the photos without the files, making them pretty much useless for me. Can anyone on the list tell me how to work with these images with Iphoto without losing the existing file structure, and without me needing to recreate that file structure within Iphoto? Barring that, I'd be obliged for suggestions of other programs that can do this. Thank you!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If you must maintain your folder structure then you might want to look at another application for that.Media Expression will do exactly what you want. You setup your folder system and it works with it. You can keyword, set up categories (albums in iPhotoese) and lots more. It's one of the better DAM (digital asset management) applications.
Otherwise you can simulate your folder structure in iPhoto with iPhoto's virtual folders and albums like shown in this screenshot:

Why does FCP looses its source file reference when files are copied

Why does FCP looses its source file reference when files are copied from another project??
i have this happen all the time, I move all my media to another drive and files that originated in another project do not reconnect because they have lost there source?
Any way to fix this mess? i am in the middle of reconnecting 400 files by hand one at a time!!!
Thanks, mark

Because you changed the file path. From one hard drive to another...the hard drive name is no doubt different, and then if you have the files in different folder structures then yeah, it will lose the connection to that media.
Best thing to do is to clone your media drive, or name the other drive the same name, and keep the exact same file structure (folders in folders) as the original drive. Then you won't need to reconnect.

Files Renamed when importing to LR4 and now can't find them in LR3

Help! What should I do???
Yesterday I installed LR 4 Beta. I had a folder with 300 images in it on LR 3, obviously all files had names. I imported these photos into LR4 to work with LR4 and they were renamed in the process. Now in my LR3 folder, all the files still have there old names and the "missing photo ?" and I assume that's because the name has been changed and LR3 can't find them. Any thoughts on an easy fix?
Thanks,
Matthew Kraus

Thanks so much for helping me with this.
I must admit, I didn't pay too much attention when importing this "test"
group of photos to LR4, therein lies my problem. Now that I look at the
import settings that were used:
1. Files were not added or copied, they were "moved" to a new location and
also renamed.
2. Files were renamed starting with "264" using my regular import template.
Listed below are the first 10 photos with their original LR3 and he
changed LR4 names.
1201_001 changed to 1201_264-2
1201_002 changed to 1201_265-2
1201_003 changed to 1201_266-2
1201_004 changed to 1201_267-2
1201_005-Edit-Edit changed to 1201_268-2
1201_005-Edit changed to 1201_269-2
1201_005-Edit changed to 1201_270-2
1201_005-Edit-Edit-2 changed to 1201_271-2
I have a back up of my images on an EHD from several days ago which has the
original file names, but this backup only has 203 of the 268 images I
imported yesterday and are renamed.
Thanks again,
Matthew Kraus

How can I keep tabs on the file size when importing from the Event Library into a Project? I want to ensure the movie will fit onto a 4.7Gb disc?

How can I keep tabs on the file size when importing from the Event Library into a Project? I want to ensure the movie will fit onto a 4.7Gb disc?

iDVD does not care about file sizes, as it compresses the file to the standard DVD format of mpeg2.
It only cares about length i.e. max 2 hours including titles etc.
iDVD encoding settings:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/11417.html
Short version:
Best Performance is for videos of up to 60 minutes
Best Quality is for videos of up to 120 minutes
Professional Quality is also for up to 120 minutes but even higher quality (and takes much longer)
Professional Quality: The Professional Quality option uses advanced technology to encode your video, resulting in the best quality of video possible on your burned DVD. You can select this option regardless of your project’s duration (up to 2 hours of video for a single-layer disc and 4 hours for a double-layer disc). Because Professional Quality encoding is time-consuming (requiring about twice as much time to encode a project as the High Quality option, for example) choose it only if you are not concerned abo
In both cases the maximum length includes titles, transitions and effects etc. Allow about 15 minutes for these.
You can use the amount of video in your project as a rough determination of which method to choose. If your project has an hour or less of video (for a single-layer disc), choose Best Performance. If it has between 1 and 2 hours of video (for a single-layer disc), choose High Quality. If you want the best possible encoding quality for projects that are up to 2 hours (for a single-layer disc), choose Professional Quality. This option takes about twice as long as the High Quality option, so select it only if time is not an issue for you.
Use the Capacity meter in the Project Info window (choose Project > Project Info) to determine how many minutes of video your project contains.
NOTE: With the Best Performance setting, you can turn background encoding off by choosing Advanced > “Encode in Background.” The checkmark is removed to show it’s no longer selected. Turning off background encoding can help performance if your system seems sluggish.
And whilst checking these settings in iDVD Preferences, make sure that the settings for NTSC/PAL and DV/DV Widescreen are also what you want.

Importing 2 Qualified Tables

Hi Team,
Need suggestion:
I have 2 Qualifier tables. 1 with more than 3 Non Qualiers and the other with only 1 non qualier.
I am successfully able to import their main table data individually, using different maps.Both the values are getting populated.
But on importing the Main table data (1 map) with both the Qualified tables, only 1 of their Non Qualifer data getting displayed.
Both these Qualified tables have no common fields between them. No idea why it is affecting on importing together.
NOTE:
On importing the Qualified tables manually with 2 different maps, it is getting imported.
But on importing Automatically, only one of the Qualified table is getting populated.
Thanks,
Priti

Hi Priti,
For multivalued field you need to check for Qualified Update option. For this you can refer page 257 of Import manager 7.1 reference guide. Try this option, it should solve your problem.
Thanks & Regards

Imported source file name changed for the external table

Hi,
I have external table from flat file. Now the source file name is changed. I can change the file location to point to the new file name, but I can't update the source for the flat file property(as seen under flat file properties,structure tab. the column "Sampled From"). Is there way to have this update without having to import the file using the new file name again?

In the Files section in the object navigator find the flat file you want to change the source of.
Double click on the actual file, and on the General tab change the old file name to the new one.
The fact that it has been sampled from a different file should not 'disturb' the working of the external table.
However, if the structure of the new file is different I'd suggest to resample.
Good luck, Patrick

Retreive Next Source File in MDM Import Manager

Hi all,
I am curious about the above feature in the MDM Import Manager. It can be found under File menu but I found that it is always greyed out even if I have selected multiple files. When I select multiple files, the system is clever enough to take all the records in the file so it doesn't seem to be used to move from one file to another. I couldn't find any information on the Import Manager guide so am trying this forum. Note that I have also searched on the forum before posting.
Appreciate if anyone can share their insight into this feature.
Cheers!
SF

Hi SF,
Yes I too did not come accross any document about this.
However,I guess this is something which helps you in exception handling.
When you handle exception of a port and there are multiple files,then you need "connect to source" again and again.
It takes you to next exception file.
Hope this helps!
Thanks,
Ravi

SRM MDM - Multiple hyperlinks import into qualified table

Hi,
I need to create an import map where I can import two hyperlinks (URL2 and URL3) into the Hyperlink qualified table.
How can I achieve this?
I have an XML schema where the two hyperlinks are given in separate tags:
<URL2>http://www.test.net/xxxx</URL2>
<URL3>http://www.test.net/yyyy</URL3>
Can anyone provide me with a HOW-TO for how to map these two tags into the qualified table Hyperlink.
Maybe I should create two sections in the XML?
<URL2>
<MIME Type>URL</MIME Type>
<URL>http://www.test.net/xxxx</URL>
<URL Description>TEST URL</URL Description>
</URL2>
<URL3></URL3>
KR,
Thomas

Thank you very much. This worked fine.
Now I have another problem someone might be able to help me with.
The sending system does not wish to send a repeating XML tag with the two hyperlinks. It causes restrictions in the data amount that can be sent.
We see two possible solutions
1.
Building the hyperlinks in MDM, like a calculation.
<URL2>http://www.test.net/xxxx</URL2>
<URL3>http://www.test.net/yyyy</URL3>
xxxx and yyyy are values in fields we have in the MDM structure. Everything before this in the hyperlink is always the same.
Is it possible to create the hyperlinks based on the value of xxxx and yyyy? If yes, how could we manage this, also filling the fileds: URL Description, Hyperlink Type and MIME Type with correct information?
2.
PI can create the URLs during integration.
Which of these two should we use?
KR,
Thomas

Huge file size when importing clips

When importing clips from my Sony Handycam (HDR TG3E) in HD 1920 X 1080 the file sizes get extremely large. A 10 minute clip results in a filesize (.mov) of approx 8 GB. Is this really meant to be? I use iMovie '08 v. 7.1.4.
Would appreciate any help in adjusting the software or hardware preferences resulting in smaller files.

for editing HiDEf, it gets automtically converted into some 'intermediate' codec, which has ~40-60GBs/h.
on export, these files will get 'shrunk' again..

Differences between various source files in mdm import manager

Hi,
Can anyone tell me the differences between the source files(access,xml,xml schema,excel) available in mdm import manager?
Thanks and regards,
Rithesh
Edited by: rithesh_shet on Mar 30, 2010 1:04 PM

Hi Ritesh,
MDM Import Manager provides flexibility to Import Data from different types of Sources into MDM.
You can import data into MDM from below mentioned sources using Import Manager:
1. From Files (Access, Delimited Text, Excel, Fixed Text, XML and XML Schema)
2. Directly from Data base source (SQL server and oracle)
As mentioned by Mandeep, XML Schema is something which you define in MDM console in advance. and then later select the Data source XML file and XML schema from drop down list (it will show all schema defined in console ) to validate XML source file against the XML schema.
For automated Import, Ports are used. Ports are nothing but a logical point of contact with other systems i.e. other systems or middleware will drop file on the port for authomatic import and MDM import server will scan the port directory and if file is present then will import data automatically from file into MDM using a predefine Import Map. (this map needs to be defined manually in import manager and then assigned to port using console).
Please check page no 45 of import manager reference guide for more details about various source properties of Import Manager. (*link for import manager reference guide is already provided on the earlier post)
Also check, page no 53 to 64 for how to import process. Kindly revert if you have any query.
Regards,
Shiv

Problem with File Naming when Importing in LR 3

When I previously imported in LR 2, under File Naming, I used a custom template:
{Custom Text}_{Date(YY)>>}_Sequence # (001)>>}. Sometimes I added custom text and it showed up in my file name and other times I didn’t and then the file name just included the Date and the Sequence # without the Custom Text.
I am having a problem when importing in LR 3. The dialog box on the right is now called File Renaming instead of File Naming. I am using the same Custom Template I used when importing in LR 2. There is a line in the dialog box for Custom Text as there was in LR 2. If I add a custom text name, it shows up at the beginning of the file name correctly as it did in LR 2. But if I leave it blank, you’ll remember in LR 2 the resultant file name just included the Date and Sequence #, but in LR 3 the file name now is “untitled_Date_Sequence #”.
How do I do this so it doesn’t have “untitled” in the file name?
Thanks,
Matthew Kraus

Thanks for reply. I am using Windows 7 64 bit. I am using 'Copy", not copy to DNG. There are 2 screen shots attached. The first screen shot is from LR2 and you can see there is no "untitled" in the file name example. The second is from LR3 and you can see "untitled" is in the first part of the file name in the example. Do you need any other information?
Tnaks,
Matthew Kraus

Fix variable text (File Name) when importing INDD into INDD

More of a fix request than a new feature:
Simply put, the variable text (File Name) shows the file extension when the document is imported into another INDD regardless of the variable text specifications in the originating document. This is unexpected and undesired.
Please see problem description in this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/489492?tstart=0

Seconded. Currently, I don't use this variable in this way, but I can envisage future scenarios where it would be a problem.
And it seems a strange thing to miss out on ... (why would an INDD file behave different?)
