Are edits written to the LR Database as well as XMP files? V1 on WinXP

I've been using the setting to write out XMP files and now have thousands of the little devils, of course.
What I'd like to know is if the LR database also includes the same info as the XMP files. In other words if I delete all my XMPs will I loose all tmy edits etc.
The reason behind this question is a) I'm not sure I need the XMPs for use anywhere else b) I get the impression that LR will speed up somewhat.

All the info is in the database and LR never uses the sidecars (except at import). Those sidecars are just dumps or most of the editing and informational metadata - open one sidecar in a web browser and you'll see what's there.
You don't say where "anywhere else" may be, but they would be readable if you wanted to use those files in a sidecar-savyy program (eg Bridge or iView). If there isn't an "anywhere else", I think that setting's a waste of processing power and you'll lose nothing by switching it off. I don't notice much speed impact, either with sidecars or with DNGs where the XMP gets written into the file.
Backup should be original images + the database, not the sidecars.

How to know whether the current database is using a password file or not?

How to know whether the current database is using a password file or not?

The remote_password_file is the parameter that determines if you can use or not a password file. The values this parameter can have are NONE, SHARED, EXCLUSIVE. It is pretty obvious, if it is set to either SHARED or EXCLUSIVE the oracle instance has enabled the access through a password file for the SYSDBA and SYSOPER roles.

Cascading Style Sheets are NOT written to the file system

Hallo,
On the "Cascading Style Sheets" page is written that: "The Cascading Style Sheets are written to the file system, so you can reference them in your HTML source code."
I am true that if this works I can reference the css with something like this?
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/i/sample.css" type="text/css">
and do not need this style:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="#APP_IMAGES#sample.css" type="text/css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#sample.css" type="text/css">
I have looked on the "Cascading Style Sheets" page: http://127.0.0.1:7780/apex/f?p=4000:37
Are there some other preferences, options, etc. to set that this will be working?
Thx for your help. Willi

Hi,
CSS files uploaded through Shared Components, Cascading Style Sheets are written into the database, so you would have to use:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#sample.css" type="text/css"/>You should be able to see these if you run the following in SQL Commands:
SELECT * FROM APEX_APPLICATION_FILES
WHERE UPPER(FILENAME) LIKE '%CSS%'Andy

Certain drives are grayed out from the user when they try to access files

I partioned the main HD with SL server. The main partition holds the OS and other related software, left plenty of space for growth. The second partition I created 2 folders that have in one Indesign files, the other images. When certain users try to log in it's grayed out as if it's mounted on the desktop, which it's not. When try again it shows up. All other volumes that are not part of the partition have no problems. Could it be the fact that Im using the Main HD partioned? This problem is occurring when the designers need to gain an image to place in Indesign.

I'd be looking at permissions issues first.

Enabled users are not seen in the rtc database

Hi,
I have installed Lync 2013 into our environment and I am having an issue where users enabled for Lync are not able to log into the client, receiving the error:
"You didn't get signed in. It might be your sign-in address or logon credentials, so try those again. If that doesn't work, contact your support team."
We have an EE FE pool and all the AD prep and server install sections completed successfully.
When a user is enabled via the Control Panel or using Enable-CsUser, all the relevant attributes within AD are populated and visible in AD and the Get-CsUser command. However, running dbanalyze with /report:user returns the following error:
###50010:ReportUserData: [email protected] is not found in this database.
Also, running dbanalyze with /report:diag returns:
No contacts found in the database.
I have checked SQL profiler and can see similar issues to this post -
http://jamesosw.wordpress.com/2013/08/04/cant-sign-in-to-lync/ with the same errors in SQL Profiler and OCS Logger Tool, but we only have one domain, so this fix doesn't work and isn't relevant anyway.
Is there anyone who could shine a light on this problem?
Thanks,
James

Errors are not passed to the client database

Hello,
We are using Mobile Client 7.1 with MaxDB database.
We have a problem with the synchronization. We are developing a
notification handling application. The problematic scenario is as
follows:
The existed notification is modified on the client side. Then the
client performs the synchronization and the changes are passed to the
backend via DOE. The syncstate field of the NOTIFICATION table is 202
(during update). BAPI Wrapper returns an error during the update (i.e.
because the object is locked or some other reason...). The client
performs the synchronization one more time in order to receive the
feedback. This synchronization fails and when we check in the trace
file what is the problem, we see there the content of the error message from the
backend and the error "Column index 1 was not found". The syncstate field is not changed to 301 or some other value, it still remains 202. The message is stucked and it's not possible to
do anything with it, only to recover the device.
What is the problem?
Thanks in advance,
Sergey

Hi,
Can you please try to regenerate the data object, re-import the model and try to update?
Thanks and Regards,

Problem with LR5 Import on MAC, it always shows "file cannot be imported because it could not be read" This happens with file downloads from the memory card as well as with files from the hard drive. Happened out of the blue and I cannot figure out why. P

I need some instructions to solve this problem, has anyone had the same problems? We just got an imac and changed from windows to mac. At first LR worked perfectly, all of a sudden I cannot import pictures anymore. Please help!!

Creating a database link to another schema in the same database

Hello,
I'm trying to create a database link to another schema in the same database. It was created without errors, but when I try to use it I receive "ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified" message...
I'm trying to do it because on my production enviroment the databases are separated, so there I can use database links without problem, but in my development environment it's all in one database separated by schemas...
So I'm trying to simulate the same system to not need to rewrite the query every time I move from development to production environment.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi,
Yes, you can create a database link to your own database. I've done it before for exactly the same reason you want to.
(By the way, I think it's a good reason. What are the alternatives?
Having different versions of code for Development and Production? Absolutely not! Terrible idea!
Using synonyms or substitution variables that are set differently in the different databases? That might be more efficient than a database link, but efficiency probably isn't such a big issue in Development.
[Conditional compilation|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/appdev.111/b28370/fundamentals.htm#sthref250]? This might be good; it has all the efficienty of the above options, with more clarity.)
Assuming you do want to stick with a database link, not all errors are caught when you create the link.
Is the Development database in the tnsnames.ora file of the Development server? Do you have other database links, either in the Development server or pointing to it, that work? What is different about the ones that work, and the one that doesn't?

The more I think about this, the more I agree with the earlier respondent: synonymns are a good solution for this.
To that suggestion you replied:
On this way I might use "select * from SCHEMA.table" instead of "select * from table@SCHEMA"... I looking for an option to use the second way...Actually, the suggestion was that you say:
select *
from SCHEMA_table_ptr;where schema_table_ptr is a synonym.
In Development, that synonym is defined as schema.table.
In Production, that synonym is defined as table@SCHEMA
Why are you "looking for an option to use the second way"?
If you think that people reading the code should realize that the query is being done via a database link (at least in Production), then add a comment.

Is movie metadata changes written to the file in iTunes 10.1?

Hello.
I'm putting together a bunch of home videos for my parents (made in iMovie) for Christmas and I'm using iTunes 10.1 to populate the metadata (genre, movie title, comments, etc.) — is this data written to the file or is it stored in an iTunes DB? My concern is, like how iTunes handles cover artwork, will all the metadata be lost when I give them these videos (since they'll be importing into their own iTunes library) or will the information I edit in iTunes move with the files? If this information is not written to the file (ie. it'll be lost when I give them the videos), can anyone suggest an iTunes add-on that will allow me to edit these files already imported into iTunes?
Also, I assume the cover art isn't written to the file, like with music files — is this true? For example, if I add a cover to these videos (which I'm making myself as JPGs), if I add the cover art in iTunes, will it be written to the file so it appears as cover art when I give the files to my parents and they import into iTunes?
Any info would be appreciated!!!
k.

Meta X works great for editing the metadata.

I'm putting together a bunch of home videos for my parents
How are you giving them these videos? As a regular, playable DVD (such as burned with iDVD)?
If so, tags are not needed as they are not written to the playable DVD.
However, it is good to add the metadata so you have the info in the file on your computer.

Reporting data in the Archive Database

Environment: 10gR3 StandAlone Enterprise.
I successfully configured Archiving and I can see data being written to the archiving database. I want to now report on the data present in this database. My reports need to be more detailed than what the Archive Viewer displays.
1. Is there any document that defines the Archive schema?
2. Are there any SQLs available that make the proper joins against the tables to present the data?
For example, one report would be to list every completed instance below which would be listed the activities and participant who completed them.
thanks

Any help with archive database SQL is appreciated.
thanks

How can I move the distribution database to a new server?

I need to migrate an old distribution database to a new VM. My understanding is that you can detach/attach the distribution DB to make this easier. What are the 'gotchas' in this process? Do I need the detach/attach the system databases as well? The distributor
is facilitating data from Oracle to SQL Server.
Another question.. what are some good benchmarks for figuring out how much horsepower I should have set up in my VM that running distribution?
Thanks,
phil

Hi philliptackett77,
As your description, you want to migrate the distribution database to a new server. Based on my research, you need to remove the replication, create the distribution on the new server, and recreate publication and subscription according to Satish's post.
So you don’t need to detach or attach the distribution database or system databases.
To make this process simple, you could use SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) to generate scripts and run the scripts to recreate publications and subscriptions or drop publications and subscriptions as the screenshot below. Checking ‘To create or enable the
components’ generates the script for creating the publications and subscriptions, and Checking ‘To drop or disable the components’ generates the script for dropping the publications and subscriptions.
Firstly, please use SSMS to generate the script which is used to create publications and subscriptions.
1.Connect to Publisher, or Subscriber in SSMS, and then expand the server node.
2.Right-click the Replication folder, and then click Generate Scripts.
3.In the Generate SQL Script dialog box, check ‘To create or enable the components’.
4.Click Script to File.
5.Enter a file name in the Script File Location dialog box, and then click Save. A status message is displayed.
6.Click OK, and then click Close. For more information about the process, please refer to the article:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms152483.aspx
Secondly, follow the steps above, check ‘To drop or disable the components’ to generate the script used to drop publications and subscriptions. Then run the sript to drop publications and subscriptions.
Thirdly, please disable distribution using Transact-SQL or SSMS following the steps in the article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms152757(v=sql.105).aspx.
Fourthly, please create the distribution at the new server using Transact-SQL or SSMS following the steps in the article:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms151192.aspx#TsqlProcedure.
Last, please run the script generated in the first step to recreate publications and subscriptions.
Regards,
Michelle Li

File corruption on SDCard when multiple files are being written from WinCE 6.0R3

We currently have file corruption problems which we have been able to reproduce on our system which uses WinCE 6.0R3. We have an SDCard in our system which is mounted as the root FS. When multiple files are being written to the file system we occasionally
see file corruption with data destined from one file, ending up in another file, or in another location in the same file. We have already written test SW that we have been able to use to reproduce the problem, and have worked with the SDCard vendor to
check that the memory controller on the card is not the source of the problems.
We know that the data we send to WriteFile() is correct, and that the data which eventually gets sent through the SDCard driver to the SD card is already corrupted.
We believe that the problem is somewhere in the microsoft private sources between the high level filesystem API calls and the low level device calls that get the data onto the HW.
We have confirmed that the cards that get corrupted are all good and this is not a case ofpoor quality flash memory in the cards. The same cards that fail under WinCE 6.0R3 never fail under the same types of testing on Windows, Mac OX, or linux. We
can hammer the cards with single files writes over and over, but as soon as multiple threads are writing multiple files it is only a matter of time before a corruption occurs.
One of the big problems is that we are using the sqlcompact DB for storing some data and this DB uses a cache which get's flushed on it's own schedule. Often the DB gets corrupted because other files are being written when the DB decides to flush.
So we can reproduce the error (with enough time), and we know that data into the windows CE stack of code is good, but it comes out to the SDcard driver corrupted. We have tried to minimize writes to the file system, but so far we have not found a
way to make sure only one file can be written at once. Is there a setting or an API call that we can make to force the OS into only allowing one file write at a time, or a way of seeing how the multiple files are managed in the private sources?
Thanks
Peter

All QFE's have been applied we are building the image so we have some control.
I have build an image which used the debug DLL's of the FATFS and I have enabled all of the DebugZones. The problem is still happening. From the timings in the debug logs and the timestamps in the data which corrupts the test file I have been able
to see that the file is corrupted AFTER the write is complete. Or at least that's how it seems.
We finished writing the file and closed the handle. Then more data is written to other files. When we get around to verifying the file it now contains data from the files that were subsequently written.
What I think I need to do is figure out in detail how the two files were "laid down" onto the SDCard. If the system used the same cluster to write the 2 files then that would explain the issue.

EP log type INFO not written to the portal.log file

All the log.info (where log is of type PortalRuntime Logger) statements in my code are not written to the portal.log file.
I have configured the portal_logger to log ALL but it seems to log only the FATAL and WARNING messages and not the INFO ones.I am on EP6 SP2
Thanks
Sid

Let me rephrase my question.
In the portal logs configuration (Sys Adm - Monitoring - Logging Console - portal_logger ) if you select ALL, should it not log messages of all types ( ERROR WARNING INFO )? When I select ALL for the portal_logger the portal.log doesn't display the log messages of type INFO (only the once of type ERROR or WARNING).

How to make files written to the workbench server visible

Hi All,
I am using dotnet proxyclass to access livecycle server . I am using 'WriteResource' method of liveCycle to write files to the Workbench server.The files are successfully written to the server and I am able to see the files through 'ListMembers' method . But if we are directly checking in the workbench server, I am not able to find those files.They are invisible . Please help me in this.

@SnakEyez02
thank you for your suggestion.
i guess what i want just isn't possible yet. in the rest of the CS5 suite i use (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) the Window Menu -> Application Frame option which keeps it all open/visible all the time. i don't know why Adobe hasn't yet put that option into DW.
but at 'least' i was hoping there was a hack or extension that'll keep at leat the files panel open/visible all the time.

Spotlight Comments - are they attached to the file?

Just wondering, if I were to add some comments to a document under the "Spotlight Comments" box which comes up when you "Get Info" on the file...are those comments appended to the file or do they only appear when the file is on my computer.
Basically, if I send the file to someone else, I don't want the "comments" I added through Spotlight to be in any way attached to the file I send?

i believe the comments are only attached to the spotlight database. they should not travel with the file.
