Batch Processing issue

My success rate in batch processing is pretty inconsistent. Sometimes it works just as expected but other times I have no results at all. When it doesnt work I get a message saying file already exists do you want to replace the file?.
I begin the process by opening a file (Im still using CS2) and then creating an action with a save for web command. I then go to Automate/Batch Process and set the action to play, then choose the source folder and the destination folder. I select the Override Action Save As Commands, set up a file name + a 2 digit serial number + extension and start with #1. My error messages are logged to a file. I click OK and cross my fingers.
My primary usage of batch processing is for resizing images for a web photo gallery. Is there something Im missing here? Is there a better method to prepare numerous images?
Thanks,
Eric

>My primary usage of batch processing is for resizing images for a web photo gallery. ... Is there a better method to prepare numerous images?
Have a look at the Image Processor: File > Scripts > Image Processor
It can resize files and convert to sRGB, also call an action if you'd like. Then in Bridge you can do a batch rename - new file name sequence number to get your serial number sequence.

Batch Processing Issues - RAW to JPEG in CS3

Hi folks,
I recently upgraded to CS3 form CS2. Over the weekend, I spent several hours tweaking/adjusting about 200 RAW images in Bridge, that I need to convert to JPGs. I used a Photoshop Batch action that I created some time back in CS2 to convert the images from RAW ("Save As" as JPG), but it didn't include any of the adjustments that I made to the images during the conversion process, because I had Ignore/Suppress Open Dialog checked. I unchecked that, and re-ran the action but am now being prompted to open each image. I then modified the action to include the "Open" command. Running the script now still doesn't quite seem to work as I'd expected. The only adjustment that is incorporated is cropping, but it doesn't process any of the tonal/color balance adjustments. All images have the modification icon on them, indicating that changes were made, but the Photoshop Batch command isn't incorporating them when opened via the Batch Processing command. Any suggestions on how to get this to work?
I'm also very open to any other suggestions one may have on converting adjusted Camera RAW images to JPEG.
Thanks,

Data import as a batch process - Issue on successive runs

Hi,
We have a requirement of creating a batch process that will have to read data from REMOTE_TABLE on remote database system and insert all the rows into LOCAL_TABLE on our local data base.
Scenario:
When the batch runs for the first time, since LOCAL_TABLE is empty, all the data is read from REMOTE_TABLE and is getting inserted into LOCAL_TABLE.
But on the successive runs, the same set of data is being duplicated on the LOCAL_TABLE, which I want to avoid.
I want to update only those records on LOCAL_TABLE that were updated in REMOTE_TABLE and I want to insert only those records that were newly created on REMOTE_TABLE.
How can push in some business logic.
Thanks
Rk.

Please Help, Issues when batch processing Multi Frame images in Fireworks

I hope someone will know how to do this and tell me where I am going wrong.
Objective 1
I have a large number of images that all have the exact same number of frames (4) and are all exactly the same size that I want to get resized, cropped and water marked (when I say 'watermarked I mean have my websites logo pasted in a specificlocation on each frame, I have my websites logo as a seperate .png file which I copy from).
Current Process
I create a command which will crop the image then paste my companys url/log onto the first frame, move it to the correct location on the frame then copy it again and then paste it onto each of the other frames, the command then resizes the image tot he exact proportions I want.
I start a batch process and use my command, making sure that I also export from the .png to animated gif (and I edit the settings to make it 256 animated gif).
Error 1
The process described above resizes and crops my images however it does NOT put the watermark in the correct place, it seems to put it int he right place on the first frame and then in a different place on all the followingn frames thus giving the effect of the watermark jumping around. Which is obviously NOT what I want.
Question 1
Please let me know what process I should be following to correct the Error 1 above.
Objective & Question 2
I want to do exactly the same thing as shown above but this time the files have a varying number of frames (from 2 to 45 frames (or instances as CS4 seems to call them)). Is there a way to paste my logo to the to the exact same location on ALL frames?
Other information
I have tried WHXY Paste extension and I can not see how to use that to solve the issue. I have also tried 'Paste in Place' however I can not see how to use the Paste In Place extension as it is not appering in my list of commands.
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Andy

Andy, you could start a batch process which will do most of the things you are asking for. THe batch process can be done using Fireworks. The right way to start is going to Archivo / Procesar por Lotes and then follow all the different option this tool has to offer. Yes, I know I gave you the names in Spanish but that is the way I use Adobe Fireworks.
I hope this was usefull for you!

Hi
We are looking for a software which converts SWF to MP4, we found many software which does the job but issue is file size is not optimize.
We found Adobe captivate 6 which gives optimum quality with good output but thing is we do not have batch process in captivate 6. so we request you to create a plugin or give a best option which have batch render quality and optimize in file size,

Captivate is e-learning development software not a dedicated video convertor, you are better off trying something like Adobe Media Encoder or Super.

Batch processing source/destination folder issues

Hi,
I am trying to set up a batch process however when I try to select the source folder I am only presented with my Desktop and 1 subfolder on my desktop. I cannot select any other drives/folders.
I am using CS3 on Vista Ultimate 64. My photos are stored in an external WD My Book Drive. I have the same problem when I try to select a destination folder.
Am I doing something wrong that I cannot see any of my other drives/partitions? I have the same issue when I try this through the Image Processor tool as well.
Thanks!

I have the same issue. I have to go to Bridge and do a batch command from there. If I choose via Photoshop, I only get the Desktop and subfolders there. Very annoying.
EDIT:
Just wanted to say that I restarted Photoshop and it now starts with My Computer. I do know this problem has happened multiple times though, and I'm not sure where along the way it changes. I'll test out what happens if I run a batch once (I usually do via Bridge), and then go into Photoshop and try to do one from there after... if it screws with the folder selection. I don't know, just a guess right now.

Batch Processing Raw to jpeg issue

Hello All,
I'm having issues converting raw files to jpeg using batch processing. When I go to open the raw files, bridge automatically opens an editor and I cannot record these actions within photoshop. What gives? Anyway to skip the editor or have PS record the action of me clicking "open image"? Or can I batch save within bridge to jpeg?
Thanks in advance for your help,
-FA

Yes, thanks for the help. I had done that already once without the results I wanted, it was still bringing up the raw editor. After trying it again, I realize now it only does that for the first file, the rest of the batch continues opening without bringing up the editor each time. Thanks again.

How to : only one user in a branch can do the batch process at a time ?

dear gurus,
In ADF web application, accessed by multiple branch (20), there is a
batch process to create invoices from orders. There are 3-5 users in a
branch. one user can process about 30 - 50 orders to become
invoices.
Business rule is : In one batch process, each users must produce
invoices with gapless invoice number. e.g : user_1 create 30 invoices
no.001 - 030, user_2 create 40 invoices no.031-070 ... and so on...
So we want to protect that at a time, in one branch, only one user can
do the batch process. User_2 must wait until user_1 is done to start
the process.
We use the table below to maintain the latest invoice number created :
CREATE TABLE doc_number
DOC_TYPE VARCHAR2(6 BYTE) NOT NULL,
BRANCH_CODE VARCHAR2(6 BYTE) NOT NULL,
DOC_NBR NUMBER(12) DEFAULT 0,
CONSTRAINT "DOC_NUMBER_PK" PRIMARY KEY (DOC_TYPE, BRANCH_CODE)
The question is :
I think of locking a spicific row of the doc_number table (select ...
for update wait 10) at the beginning of the batch process stored
procedure.
But what if the session/connection left orphan and the row is lockde
forever before the dba kill it ?
So is there a better approach to limit the user execution of the
process ?
Thank you very much for your help,
Krist

Forget it. See http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:4343369880986.
However, if you are dead set on doing this old fashioned thing of trying to emulate paper invoices from a numbered tablet, you could always just let everyone generate all of their invoices with no invoice number whenever they want, then at some time ( say 21:00 every day), take a lock on the table and apply invoice numbers to all of the records with a null invoice number -- which will take only a few centiseconds at most. And let the users/system print only invoices that have numbers assigned. This way, you pretty much eliminate the concurrency issue of various branches generating invoices only in their time window -- yuk, what an awful way to have to do business.
And completely forget about users or branches having their own range of numbers. That is completely nuts. Your database already knows which branch owns which invoice, right??

Action batch export issue with image trace

So, currently I'm working on batch processing jpeg sequences using illustrator's image trace and distortion effects. I have batch exported the image traces of the sequences via Adobe bridge. Now I'm trying to create an action which opens the .ai files containing those image traces, apply a graphic style to the trace, and export a png from that. I'm banging my head against the wall trying to get this to work right now. If I do the steps (step by step... not using a recorded action) I want on a single file, it works great, but the moment I batch export using the action I've created, it puts the original .png image that the image trace was linked to, on top of the image. The result is a bunch of .png exports that look exactly like my original image sequence. If I add a "save" function to the action and open the resulting .ai files, I can see that the image trace vectors are in the file. The "linked png" however visible on the layer above those vectors. Anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong? How do I get rid of that pesky linked image.
Also, for anyone who might be thinking that it has something to do with expanding the image trace before applying effects, this issue I'm running into, I've determined, is happening higher up in the hierarchy of the actions... If I simply make an action to open the image trace illustrator file and save it back out, the same issue occurs... placing the .png "linked file" on top of the vector image.
While I'm at it, I might as well ask if anyone knows how to change the illustrator default image trace preset.... Without being able to change it, or much less specify in the action sequence that I'd like to use a user created image trace preset rather than the default setting, it's greatly overcomplicating my workflow. Makes what could easily be one-step batch processing into two. Seems pretty silly if you ask me.
Please, if you guys have any insights on this, let me know. It's super frustrating... By the way, if you're wondering what type of effect I'm going for, the idea (as well as some explanation into their own process) starts at 12:44 of this video (http://vimeo.com/77427470).
THANKS!

Just wanted to let you guys know, for anyone who might be having my same issue... My home computer, even after a fresh install of Illustrator, was still placing the linked jpeg over the traced vector shapes when batch exporting... I did however find a workaround. Rather than using Bridge CS6 for the batch image tracing, I used Bridge CS5 to trace in Illustrator CS5. Then, I used Illustrator CS6 to batch export an action that imported and applied an effect to those image traced sequences. When you do this, it forces you to expand the tracing on import (because of the difference in Illustrator versions I'm assuming). This way, when you batch run the action, it's already working with expanded vector shapes. Not sure why this works, but it does.
Also, I was having some issues getting Illustrator to apply the graphic style when batch exporting. I got it to work by copying an object with that particular graphic style to the clipboard, then adding in the action I was running a "paste" command, followed by a "clear" command. I can only assume that Illustrator was having issues loading custom graphics styles while batch exporting. The paste/delete technique is annoying, but gets it done.
Anyways. Just wanted to check in on this one. I'm happy I was able to muscle my way through it all.

Batch Process Change Canvas Size Buggy

I have 300+ products shots that need to go up to our website.
Using FW CS3 I was able to resize and optimize both full size
images and the thumbnails. The issue is due to our website setup
the thumbnails are expected to be exactly 100x100. If the canvas
size is irregular the image gets stretched or squeezed when served
up on the site.
So I created a custom action to set the canvas size to 100 x
100 with a white background and to expand from the center out. When
I run this manually everything is ducky. But when I add it to my
batch process the actual content of the thumbnails moves from image
to image. Some items are centered fine, some are too far left or
too far right (or high,low) some are shifted so much that they are
actually cut off to the left or right. There seems to be no rhyme
or reason to it.
Here is how the batch is set up:
It grabs the original file ( a press resolution PSD file) and
fit to size to 100 x 100. Then I run the command to set canvas size
to 100x100 white background. And then it exports it to optimized
jpeg. I have tried running the actions separately. And when I just
run the fit to size and optimization as a batch the thumbs look
fine no weird positioning. So I know it is the command.
Any ideas?

Thankyou Heath
If I choose scale > scale to fit area > then choose a maximum width or height, that works for that part of the process.
Percentage doesn’t work, because I need them to be a particular size (either width or height, doesn’t matter , as long as nither of them exceeds 00px)
For the part that I then want to find the smallest measurement (width or height) and make a particular size, there doesn’t seem to be any way that I can find in FW to do that.
But, after searching on line, I found an app that does all that and more, its brilliant. It will find the largest side, the smallest side, or whatever and change it to what you want and rescale the other side to fit.

Architectural design for FTP batch processing

Hello gurus,
I would like your help in determining the design for the following.
We receive several HL7 messages as a text file and copied to a shared network folder. All these files are created into several different folders depending on the region, message type. We need to come up with a B2B process to read all the files from the netwrok folder using FTP (batch process) and translate if needed (depending on the scenario) and transfer the files over to other destination folder on the network (using FTP).
For this, we can create TPs with Generic FTP channel and this works without any issues. By doing this way, we need to create TP for each and every type of message which reads the files from its own specified directory location on the network based on the the polling interval.
My question is, instead of creating TPs for each and every type of file, is there a way by which I can write a common web service that reads the source files from the network and based on the type of the file route to the proper destination folders. If it is possible, I would like to know the architecture for accomplishing this task.
I really appreciate your kind help on this.
Thanks and regards,
Raghu

Hi Raghu,
Is it a B2B communication scenario?
By doing this way, we need to create TP for each and every type of message which reads the files from its own specified directory location on the network based on the the polling interval.Why cann't you have only one TP with multiple documents, channels and agreements?
My question is, instead of creating TPs for each and every type of file, is there a way by which I can write a common web service that reads the source files from the network and based on the type of the file route to the proper destination folders. If it is possible, I would like to know the architecture for accomplishing this task.Depends on your use case and products you want to use. You can very well use FTP adapter with BPEL and poll for files. Use DVM in composite to figure out the destination and send it there. You may use OSB if it is a typical routing case with heavy load and performance is a concern. You may use B2B as well here. So ultimately you need to figure out what you want and what tools you want to use.

Batch Processing .doc 2 .pdf with Acrobat 8 Pro and Office 2004 on Tiger

I have been through the forum posts and for each relavent thread there is the easy batch process that can be done to solve this issue - however, the major flaw I have is (as seen in the attachment) no option to be able to open Word docs. How do I enable Acrobat Pro to be able to open word docs??!?!? It really is an answer I have not been able to find on the web anywhere!

Then what do you make of this persons post: http://forums.adobe.com/message/1098036#1098036
"Create a new batch sequence. Select 'Run commands on Selected Folder'. In the source file options enable 'Microsoft Office Word'. Then let run the sequence."
I am able to work out the whole process except in my Acrobat there is no option for "Microsoft Word" as Bernd suggests - how do I get it on the list.

Problem w/ Batch Process

I have been able to convert .pdf files to .tif files by using the Batch Sequence Command "Export All Images As Tiff", but I'm having one issue with the resulting file. When the original file is a 5 page multi sheet .pdf - the batch process creates 5 single page .tiff documents. I would like to get 1 multi sheet .tif from every 1 multi sheet .pdf. I really don't want to have to go that extra step and have to combine the 5 files into 1 multi sheet .tif. I'm dealing with over 100,000 documents, and that would result into too much time spent.
Is it possible to create 1 multi sheet .tif from 1 multi sheet .pdf using the batch process feature in Adobe Acrobat Pro v.9?
Also, while using the above mentioned Command - I'm prompted to hit ok for each file i'm converting. This really takes away the usefullness of a "batch process"
Any help with these two issues would be much appreciated.

Honyk,
I will look into what you suggested. I'm not experienced with that much scripting, but i might have to give it a try.
Thank's for your suggestion,
Kerry

Audition 2.0, Windows 7, batch processing

I seem to remember finding a solution to this, but I can't find it.
If I remember correctly there is a change I must make to an ini file to make batch processing work under Windows 7. Someone must know what it is.

Audition 2 is hardly compatible with XP, never mind anything later! W7 wasn't even on the horizon when it was written, so all bets are off. It's the one release of Audition that most people moved away from as fast as humanly possible when Audition 3 came out...
But regardless of that, CD issues with W7 aren't exactly unknown, and may well be a bit of a pain to fix.

Batch process does not work in one service, but worked in another.

Hi Fellows,
We have here a batch process with a code encrypted, that runs daily in a production environment.
Tonight this batch process did not work.
It is expected that this process runs in about 20 seconds, but tonight this process used about 3 hours and did not finished.
We checked if it was concurrency, killed some sessions and tried again, and nothing has changed.
And then someone changed the service that this process uses, it was 'bat' and changed to 'dba'. And it worked succesfully in 11 seconds.
Here is the tnsnames that the batch process uses:
bat =
(DESCRIPTION =
(LOAD_BALANCE = OFF)
(FAILOVER=ON)
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.10.x.x1)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.10.x.x2)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.10.x.x3)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = bat)
(FAILOVER_MODE =
(BACKUP = dba)
(TYPE = NONE)
(METHOD = BASIC)
(RETRIES = 20)
(DELAY = 5)
dba =
(DESCRIPTION =
(LOAD_BALANCE = OFF)
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.10.x.x1)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.10.x.x2)(PORT = 1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.10.x.x3)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = dba)
Do you guys know what could be the reason?
Thanks in advance.

We set the service which the app should connect.
These services are set in srvctl:
