Batch Snapshot needed

Is there any way to automate snapshots for multiple images.
I am a travel and event photographer and it is not unusual for me to have 100+ final images from a job. Remembering to save a snapshot of each image while I am editing is time consuming and frequently forgotten. When I have the complete shoot finished and have done a quick review to make sure the set is finished I would like to select all and create a date and time based a snapshot each image in the whole set. If there is no way to automate this can it be put on a wish list for a future update?
Jim

Hello John,
Thanks for the reply. There are many reasons I would like a dated snapshot of the final edit of a group of images. I have a love hate relationship with Lightroom (mostly on the love side). Non destructive editing wonderful, however if you are not careful it is also quite easy to accidently lose all your work through a set of edits or reset. I work in dng to preserve my edits without having to track the side car. Unfortunately I have had a number of instances where my edits were not saved in the dng. In addition, I would like to have a way to do collections of different effects applied to full sets that I can go back to.
I am located in Germany and teach introduction to digital photography at the Stuttgart Media University. I would use this function regularly for illustration purposes.
My thought was that not only would it be nice to have an easy way to identify (by date) the final edit to each image in a set but with this automation, I would also be able to do an edit reset by running automation that set each image in the set (similar to sync) according to the name of the snapshot.
Is there a technical reason that a snapshot of the most recent edits cannot be automated. Anything that can be done with a single action or combination of defined actions can be automated. Do you know if there are plans for definable Automate > batch functionality for lightroom similar to that in Photoshop?
One last question, are the same John McWilliams affiliated with the Atlanta Photography Group.

Batch Query with Batch but need address lines split by column

Hi folks,
I have the following query I created with the batch number of the sales order:
SELECT T0.[DocDate] as "Date", T1.[DocNum] as "Sales Order Number", T0.[CardCode] as "Customer Code", T0.[CardName] as "Customer Name",T1.[Address2], T0.[ItemCode], T0.[ItemName], T0.[BatchNum], T0.[Quantity], T1.pickrmrk FROM IBT1 T0, ORDR T1 WHERE T0.[BaseNum] = T1.[DocNum] and T1.docstatus = 'O' and T0.WHSCODE = '01' order by T0.BaseNum
Now I need to split the address by column so need street, block, city, county, country and zipcode fields from CRD1, but would either need the ship to address of the sales order it is selected or even just the default ship to address of the sales order. In above query T1.[Adress2] is not quite right for our needs, as this file will have to be exported to 3rd party. So I have gotten this far:
SELECT T0.[DocDate] as "Date", T1.[DocNum] as "Sales Order Number", T0.[CardCode] as "Customer Code", T0.[CardName] as "Customer Name",T1.[Address2], T2.[Street], T2.[Street], T2.[Block], T2.[City], T2.[County], T2.[Country], T2.[Zipcode], T0.[ItemCode], T0.[ItemName], T0.[BatchNum], T0.[Quantity], T1.pickrmrk FROM IBT1 T0, ORDR T1, CRD1 T2 WHERE T0.[BaseNum] = T1.[DocNum] and T1.docstatus = 'O' and T0.WHSCODE = '01' and T0.[CardCode] = T2.[CardCode] and T2.[AdresType] = 'S' order by T0.BaseNum
but will split into multiples if a business partner have more than one shipping address.
Can someone please advise on this one?
Many thanks in advance,

Thanks Agustin, tried it with RDR12 as the following query:
SELECT T0.[DocDate] as "Date", T1.[DocNum] as "Sales Order Number", T0.[CardCode] as "Customer Code", T0.[CardName] as "Customer Name",T1.[Address2], T2.[StreetS], T2.[BlockS], T2.[CityS], T2.[ZipCodeS], T2.[CountyS], T2.[CountryS], T2.[ZipCodeS], T0.[ItemCode], T0.[ItemName], T0.[BatchNum], T0.[Quantity], T1.pickrmrk FROM IBT1 T0, ORDR T1, RDR12 T2 WHERE T0.[BaseNum] = T1.[DocNum] and T1.docstatus = 'O' and T0.WHSCODE = '01' order by T0.BaseNum
but has multiple lines for different addresses (and not just shipping addresses of that businss partner sales order).
Anymore ideas or can you spot error in the query?
Thanks again,

Batch java needed to connect to HP unix ssl servers

i have an old problem that is new to me. i need to connect to an ssl server. i have a batch java program that we currently use to connect to non-ssl servers. if possible i would like sample code with an explination how it works.

See the [JSSE Reference Guide|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/security/jsse/JSSERefGuide.html] and supporting material, and the Javadoc for the javax.net.ssl package.

Batch automation - need to remove "choose" popup for folder selection in the automation

Am new to scripting, and am creating a script to batch automate CS5 .idml to CS4 .inx. I have found a few scripts out there close enough that I can modify, but they all include the same variable of selecting the folder to get the files to process. Even when I put the ("//server/directorypath/folder") in place, it still opens the popup to “choose” the folder I just told it to go to. In the end what I need is a place people can put their .idml files on the network and, through an action folder running the script from a dedicated machine with CS4, spit the .inx they need. I have figured out how to turn indd dialog/alerts on and off, but not this!
How can I make the “var myFolder =” be a fixed location?? Everything I try seems to create an exception later in the script
var myFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Select a folder with InDesign files to open");
if (myFolder == null) exit();
var myFilelist = [];
var myAllFilesList = myFolder.getFiles();

Thanks John, it took care of the popup, but presents alert stating “no files to open”. here is the full script I started out with. Aside from server location the only thing I changed was substituting indd with idml on line 20, and of course the file path. It also throws a “Done” alert at the end. I also moved the INTERACT_WITH_ALL (line 77) to the end, but isn't stopping the done alert.

Oracle Retail standard file format for batches - specification needed

Is there any accurate specification of Oracle Retail standard file format for batches, such as EdiUpcat.pc (possibly with examples)?
I am trying to produce a file with supplier cost changes for Cost Change Batch (ediupcat.pc).
In "Operations Guide - Batch Overviews and Designs - Volume 1" I found some brief description, though it is not clear to me
1) what should I do with empty values (obviously, pad with appropriate number of spaces?)
2) What if some string value has less characters than specified? Should I left-pad or right-pad?
3) What does Number(12,4) means? How many characters exactly? 17? Why then values in some fields are multiplied by 10000 (so that to obtain integer value) while in others they go in Number(12,4) notation?

Hi Roman,
I am glad to be of help.
Try to see it like this:
A number 20 is of char-length 20 in a flatfile, and the value is what it is 1:1.
A number 12,4 is of char-length 12 in a flatfile, but needs to be divided by 10^4 (10000) to get its real value.
Indeed there is a funny asymmetry in the documentation how the decimals are handled - but we needed to read carefully already anyhow... :)
I always like to construct a file by hand in an editor (vi, whatever) and then run it through the program, and check the errors in the error file.
Good luck and best regards,
Erik

Specific Batch Help Needed

I batch 100's of images and have sets of actions I use for
different objectives. I'm looking to tie them together to eliminate
all manual effort. Some things I do Fireworks makes me do them
manually (or I don't know how to do it through batching). If
someone is willing to lend extensive help or if I need specific
code written to help me I'm willing to pay. Here are my issues:
1. During my process I paste one image (a copyright image) on
top of the image I'm batching. This makes me batch halfway through
my process, open all images, manually copy and paste the copyright
image on the images I'm working with, re-save, then continue the
batching process. Is there a way to paste a separate consistent
image on top of another through batching so I don't have to stop
and do this manually?
2. I start with a jpg file and during the process save edited
files as png. Currently, I batch the save as command but have to
click OK to save the file just you would if you were doing save as
with one file. This slows down the batching plus I have to sit here
and hit enter every 10 seconds. Can this be automated?
3. In one process I apply a mask to an image that already has
a mask. During batching a box pops up and asks if I want to
replace, add or cancel the mask since the image already has a mask.
Can this be automated so I don't have to click replace for every
image?
Thanks for your help. If I need to speak with a developer
feel free to pass on info and I will contact you or them.

Hello river east,
I'm just spitballing here, but here is one option for this to work.
Basically you would create a secure zone and if the user isn't signed in they wouldn't see the Add to Cart button.
The js would look like this - http://jsfiddle.net/chaddidthis/uDmXj/1/
As a part of signing up for the secure zone they have to accept the gun and ammo purchasing terms. You could have the link to the form on the large product page, sends them to either log in or sign up via the form they need to fill out. After then fill out the form they are sent back a page sending them back into the large product view they were on, and since they are signed in now the product will be able to add to cart.
Maybe this will spark others to add on to this, but that is pretty much the only way I could think to accomplish the desired results.
Hope it helps,

Hi,
I want to call java class files in PL/SQL code. I have created the .class file while loading into oracle, showing an error saying that DBMS_JAVA.SHORT_NAME must be declared and some errors like java/io/lang,, Please tell me the necessary packages to run in the database..?
Regards,

I believe the top-level script our DBAs run is initjvm.sql. It's usually in <oracle home>\javavm\install. You might want to double-check to make sure this is the only thing you'll need.
Hope this helps,

Batch media needs rendering

I had someone shoot my wedding and I edited it on OS 9. Then the company I work for upgraded to OS X. I deleted the main media because the system said I needed to render it. Now when I batch digitize the media, it loads it into the time line, but still says I need to render all the media I just loaded in. How do I get the system to recognize the media without having to render the basic media? (There are no effects or anything that needs rendering on the clips. They are straight raw footage.)

FCP version?
Media type?
Sequence settings?
How are you capturing?

WF-Batch id needs to be changed on runtime with the user email id.

Hi All,
I have a requirement where i have to send an email through workflow, but in the from i have to pass the employee responsible email id. I got the email id in a container. Now how can i replace WF-Batch ( i.e. by default) with the user email id in the from to send email to approver.
Anykind of help will be appreciated in this context.

Hi Pavan,
I didn't get your point of "BCS communication services", where to do that ? and is it dynamic ?
Kindly explain it a bit.
Approach that i am following is "i created a ZFM to send email with parameters (from, to, message, subject), this FM reference can be check on the below mention link. I created a method in BO to call that FM and then call that BO's method in activity step. I think this is the only approach that can be followed. I may be wrong. If anyone knows any other approach then please reply, or i will mark this thread as answered.

Batch control needed

Dear Members of the Basis community,
The SAP system, 45B, has a problem with batch windows. I'm trying to reschedule batch jobs in a proper order so that batch window is controllable and orderly.
I would just like to get some hints as to how can batch jobs be scheduled in a more easily manageable manner without having to spend too much.
Current SAP sm37 does not seem to provide many aspects information of batch runs completed, such as query the sm37 by runtime duration, delayed-start time, programs under which batch etc.
For this, I hope to know what are the tables to look at.
Awaiting for your replies.
Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ernesta Corvino

Hi,
I am afraid there is not much scope here given by SAP. You can do batch management only thru sm37.
Yes there are 3rd party softwares that can help you in scheduling the jobs in an easier and more effective manner. Couple of them which I know are :
Unicenter Autosys - CA Software
Control-M - BMC Software

Batch master - Need clarification

Hi,
I have total shelf life as one of the characteristics in the class that is assigned to a class in the material master.
Total shelf life is also field in batch master.
When i change the value of the "total shelf life" field in the material master (MARC-MHDHB), it is not reflecting in the batch master.
For example: In the beginning Total shelf life is 90 days in the material master and i create a new batch for this material in the plant. Value of total shelf is in the batch characteristic and batch master is 90 days.
Now if i change the value of total shelf life in the material master to 200 days, save the material. When i display the batch master, this change is not reflected in total shelf life field. It still reads - 90 days..
Is this valid?
Please clarify.
Regards
RJS

Hi,
you have maintained the characterstic as shelf life right and i hope you ahve given teh values for the characterstics
Now when a batch is created automaticallly it will give a pop up to sleect the value as epr the selction given in the value it will replicate into the batch master
*the beginning Total shelf life is 90 days in the material master and i create a new batch for this material in the plant. Value of total shelf is in the batch characteristic and batch master is 90 days.
Now if i change the value of total shelf life in the material master to 200 days, save the material. When i display the batch master, this change is not reflected in total shelf life field. It still reads - 90 days..
Here select the value of teh chracterstics as 200 and then when a batch is created automatically duriong the Gr it gives the SLED as per this
Hope tis clear

Batch wise rate and revenue for Profitability reports

Process are
We are doing GR of material based on Batch wise and we have moving average price for all trading material.
let say i did 2 GR
Material   A
Batch      x
MAP       10rs
QTY       10 kg
Material A
Batch    y
MAP     15 rs
QTY     20 kg
now i have stock of 30 kg of material with batch X and Y
Now i got sales order of 15 qty and I issued 10 qty from batch X and 5 qty from batch Y
and did billing also.
Now my client want profitability batch wise and rate of consumption also batch wise.
I can create one characteristic WWBAT for batch and also planned Table lookup for Derivation from SD table LIPS.
But how to get cost Batch wise - 10 rs for batch -X and 15 rs for batch-Y. becoz price will come from VPRS which is my latest MAP
regards
RR

Hi
For Batch - You need to create a WW Char i.e. User Defined Char
Valuation Type - Should be available as a Standard Char in COPA.. You can pull it in your Op Concern from KEA5 using "Reference" option
To get the Batch No - You need to create a derivation step in KEDR using "Enhancement" method... SOURCE field can be ARTNR and Target Field will be WW Char.... Then you can write exit COPA0001 or COPA0005
Valuation Type can also be fetched using the same exit...

Inventory Count for Batch Managed materials - Plant, S.Loc and Batch Wise

Hi.,
In the company's current scenario, the printing of batch managed materials are scheduled under 3 Job names.
1. First job determines the materials/batches that need to be created today using Program RM07ICN1
2. Second Job Processes the BDC Session created by Program RM07ICN1 using Program: RSBDCSUB
3. Third Job prints the Inventory tickts at the appropriate Storage location using Program: RM07IDRU
Each Job has its own variant.
The Variant for SL.No 1 is defined w.r.t
i. Material Type : Two Material types have been defined
ii. Under selection variable, GIDAT ( Planned count date and GBDAT are flagged.
Current Analysis:
A. The inventory documents get printed with Materials as per the cycle counting indicators defined which govern which material has to be currently counted.
B. Inventory documents are generated for all materials in all the plants and in all the storage locations
C. Batches for a material number may print on different cycle count documents throughout the year.
Customer requirement:
The inventory documents to print on basis of
1. Material, Plant and S.Loc.
This would help in identifying the batches which are currently being counted as well.
2. Customers requirement is to ensure that all batches are accounted for and will identify any overage of batches since in the current process, they are never reviewed as a whole.
QUESTION:
1. How to configure the Customer requriement.
2. How to configure the Variant/s, if thats the place the configuration has to be done to satisfy the customer.
3. How to activate the Variant in SE37 after definition in the Step Indicator. Does it activate on execution?
When i run the Program using SE38 , maintaining options in the Screen ( giving Material, Plant and S.loc), i get the desired list (Batches w.r.t Material,plant.S.Loc). But there is a list of over 150 Batch managed materials and it would not be physically possible to maintain the variant for each each Material,plant,S.loc wise.
Is there a way to configure the customer requirement/s.
Any and all help is much appreciated.
Thanks

Hello Mahesh,
<b>Customer requrirement is specific, they want a list of Inventory Documents to be generated on basis of Material in each Plant-S.Loc batch wise.</b>
Then you need to define multiple varinat for the program.
<b>(a) If i am giving two variants in the same Program name RM07ICN1, how to execute one after after in sequence.
In testing, I have defined in the " Step", Progran RM07ICN1 with one variant and Program RM07ICN1 with another Variant. But on execution of Program RM07ICN1 thru SE38, the screen defined latter ( second variant screen data ) is displayed.</b>
You need to define several steps in SM36 transaction for the program using each variant. SE38 you can use only to save your variant data so later you can use this variant in SM36.
Once you schedule the job with SM36 and release it then it will automatically execute this job as per your criteria (timeline)
Hope this helps.

Arif Mansuri
