Clear metadata

Somewhere / somehow keywords were saved to actual raw file (Canon CR2) and not the XMP file. This may have happen back in my Bridge CS3 days. Is there anyway to scrub the raw file of unwanted metadata. I have tried deleting the xmp file; but, the unwanted metadata is sill there.

As I recall, there was a bug in CS3 where under some conditions metadata could be written into the cr2 file instead of an xmp file. You can test for this by looking at the file date of the cr2 file in windows explorer. Is its date and time stamp what you would expect for an unmodified file? If you have several cr2 files that you shot close to the same date and time, is the date and time stamp of the 'bad' cr2 file in the date-time of the series or does that cr2 have a later time stamp (which would indicate cr2 file had been modified)?
If the cr2 file had been modified I can think only of one way to fix the cr2 file (binary edit); but there might be usable workaround: create a dng then clear the undesired metadata from the dng.

.XMP files no longer appear as sidecars--how to clear metadata?

Photoshop CS2 ver 9.0.2
Bridge ver 1.0.4.6
ACR ver 3.7
eMac G4 800 MHz
Mac OS X ver 10.4.9
1 Meg RAM
12 GB available disk space
Bridge and Photoshop are set to save metadata in .XMP sidecar files, but sidecar files no longer appear. That is, up till a few days ago, .XMP files appeared when I opened raw files, but no longer. The drop-down menu is still set to save metadata in sidecar files.
Cannot clear metadata in Bridge. I can select "Camera Raw Defaults" in ACR, but that doesn't clear cropping.
1) How do I return already-stored metadata to .XMP files?
2) How do I get PSCS2 to store future metadata as .XMP files?
3) How do I clear metadata currently stored in ACR/PS database?
4) What did I do to cause system to store metadata in ACR/PS database despite being set to save in sidecar files?
Thanks.

Noel,
Excellent point. I have no idea. Maybe this was only working for
.PSDs/etc. (which contain the metadata embedded in the file itself[,
right?]). I may have been deluding myself this whole time. It's
possible that it never really worked the way I thought it did to begin with.
But, more specifically, here's the current question: If I have this
file (which is a backup from long ago):
J:\backup of M90\Documents and Settings\philipt\Application
Data\Adobe\CameraRaw\Database
...assuming that drives are currently mapped (by drive letter) the same
way they were when that backup was made), can I just replace the current
file:
C\Documents and Settings\philipt\Application Data\Adobe\CameraRaw\Database
...with the one from J: and expect it to work correctly?
What's the worst that can happen if I do this?
BTW, the file on J: is 2,569 Kb; the (new) one on C: is 2,754 Kb. This
doesn't seem to bode well, since the old one (J:) should have much, much
more data in it (assuming that the "Database" file per se is where the
metadata is stored): the older file has complex,
multi-tiered data for 10s of 1000s of images. "??"
Thanks again for your willingness to help with this!!

EPMA 11.1.2.1 batch client LOADID, Full Deploy, Clear MetaData missing

Looks like EPMA batch client in 11.1.2.1 does not have any mention of some of the options available through workspace. Options like LOADID, Fully Deploy and Clear Metadata are no where to be found.
Has anyone found work arounds for these? Kindly share your thoughts.

First log an enhancement ticket with Oracle.
Your next move is to find someone that can hack the Java code and perform non-Oracle approved customizations -- in my experience this can be as easy as four hours of research and work or could take quite a bit longer -- then you have to ask if you are paying for this work is it worth a few thousand dollars of time if you don't have these skills in your company to leverage and also if you ever do patching the customization needs to be remade and may not be as easy as the first time.

Clear Metadata Cache

I had an error that I have listed below and had to clear the metadata cache to fix it. I do not have the metadata cache activated under user option so I am not sure why I had to clear the cache to get things working. Can someone explain why I had to do this and where the metadata cache is located?
Error:
Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of
the collection.

Hello Jeroen,
There is no other possibility. If you adjusted and reimported a RFC model, you need to restart the J2EE server.

Clear metadata before loading

Hi!
Does this option clear data (including journlas) and metadata? Can I recover the journals running calculations/ consolidation? Or do I have to re-post all journals?
Thank you!

The option, visible when you load metadata does in fact wipe out all of the data and journals in the application. You will see a message to this effect if you select this option. The behind-the-scenes on this is that HFM can reassign ItemIDs in the database, and as a result it will drop all of the data and journal tables from the application. This is because the scenario's ItemID is embedded in the table names. Once that happens, there is no data or journal left.

Clear metadata history - Options

Currently, Adobe files are saved to the whole story, even if the file is being edited by another program.
Ex: Innd file -> PDF file -> Illustartor file
Are stored as information about the files inportowanych embedded in the document.
When I want to make public the files would be able to delete the data. Sometimes this is not in my best interest.
Missing option to remove XMP metadata type <xmpMM:History>.
I do not understand why Adobe does not enable this option?

Seized Role but not able to Clear metadata via Command line

Hi All,
I have setup a lab in my home for practice and tried to demote a DC in my environment through command line , after transferring a Roles which was on the DC to other,
i tried below mention command to clean up metadata and remove a Selected DC.
1 Ntdsutil ,2 ntdsutil:roles,3 Fsmo maintenance: Connection,4 server connection: connect to server dc3.,5: server connection: quit,6: fsmo maintenance: Seize RID Master(Clicked YES),7: fsmo maintenance: Quit, 8 Ntdsutil: Quit
After seizing Roles i tried to clean up metadata, below are the step which i have taken to perform it
1ntdsutil, 2ntdsutil:metadata cleanup,3 metadata cleanup : connection,4 server connections: connect to server dc3,5 server connection : quit, 6 metadata cleanup: select operation target. , 7 select operation target :select domain 0,8 select operation
target: select sites 0, select operation target : select server 3 , 9 select operation target : Quit, 10 metadata cleanup: remove selected server
After reaching to the last step no 10. i received a error stating that to clean up the data please put server online.
Could anyone tell me what step did i missed as all the servers where online and roles was seize successfully, also would like to tell you all that once i go to Active directory sites and services and check the servers the default sites connection are lost
on DC1,DC2,DC3.
Please let me know the correct method to perform metadata cleanup.
Also let me know what other prerequisite should i take to perform apart from transferring roles and Global Catalog should be there on other DC
Thanks
Atul Srivastava

Hi Atul,
Metadata cleanup is a required procedure after a forced removal of Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS). Metadata cleanup removes data from AD DS that identifies a domain controller to the replication system.
We can clean up metadata by using GUI tools, command line, or a script.
Regarding how to clean up server metadata, the following article can be referred to as reference.

Sending metaData with netStream.send is not working

I'm trying to send metaData from client to FMS server when recording Webcam video and have implemented sending of metaData as stated on Adobe's help page at: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashMediaServer/3.5_Deving/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11a0773d5 6e-7ff6.html
However when I play the recorded video from FMS, my custom metaData properties trace "undefined". I can trace default metaData properties such as duration or videocodecid successfully, but not my custom properties such customProp, width or height. Here is part of my code that is related to the issue:
private function ncNetStatus(event:NetStatusEvent):void {
     if (event.info.code == "NetConnection.Connect.Success") {
          ns = new NetStream(nc);
         ns.client = this;
          ns.publish(webcam_test, "record");
private function netStatus(event:NetStatusEvent):void {
     if (event.info.code == "NetStream.Publish.Start") {
          sendMetadata();
private function sendMetadata():void {
      trace("sendMetaData() called...");
     myMetadata = new Object();
     myMetadata.customProp = "Welcome to the Live feed of YOUR LIFE";
     ns.send("@setDataFrame", "onMetaData", myMetadata);
public function onMetaData(info:Object):void {
     trace('videocodecid: ',info.videocodecid); //returns 2
     trace('customProp: ',info.customProp); // returns undefined
And here is my trace result:
NetConnection.Connect.Success
NetStream.Publish.Start
sendMetaData() called...
NetStream.Record.Start
Stopped webcam recording...
NetStream.Record.Stop
NetStream.Unpublish.Success
NetStream.Play.Reset
NetStream.Play.Start
videocodecid: 2
customProp: undefined

Here is the working code which I have tried at my end. You can see the highlighted line in which the second parameter is 0 which means it will play only recorded stream:

Hope this solves your query and if still you have the issue then please tell the version of FMS and Player you are using.

Trying to add metadata to a live stream completely fails

Hi. I've been following this document http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashmediaserver/devguide/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11a0773d56e -7ff6Dev.html for adding metadata to an FMS live stream from a Flash widget.
I've created a stripped-down version of the code (listed below); the same as the original code except the controls are removed. It works fine only if I comment out the ns.send calls. If I leave in the ns.send calls, no clients are ever able to view anything. I'm using a stock FMS 4.5 install on Amazon EC2 -- the AMI is ami-904f08c2. And I'm compiling the swf using Flex SDK 4.6 on Linux with the command "mxmlc -compiler.library-path+=./playerglobal11_0.swc -swf-version=13 -static-link-runtime-shared-libraries Broadcaster.as".

Also, emitting other events in the ns.send calls works; eg. if I do ns.send("blah", "onMetaData", myMetadata), nothing happens (because there's no "blah" function to do anything), but at least this doesn't cause the entire stream to fail.

Error 800456C8 loading Metadata

I received error 800456C8 when I tried to load my Metadata changes for this period. The error says I can't make a base member become a parent unless you clear the metadata first. I know that clicking on 'Clear all Metadata before loading' actually clears Metadata, journals, and all data and I dont want to do that.
Is there a way I change a base member and make it into a parent? I added the parent last period with our Metadat changes and am being asked to add children to it this period....
Thanks,
Brad

Issue with the CREMDM IDoc

Hi,
I am sending the Vendor data from ECC to the external system through XI. I am using the change pointers and the IDocs are generated through BD21. IDocs are generated with no errors and the status '3', but the IDocs are not sent to XI. I checked the SM58 transaction and found the errors. Error Message is "EDISDEF: Port SAPXXX segment defn YSTP1EDY_MDMNR001 in IDoc type CREMDM04". I have created an extension for CREMDM04 and in the outbound Partner Functions I have given both Basic and extension types.
As part of our new requirement I have added couple of fields to the custom segment which was already released and in use. After changing and released the segment, a new segment defnition YSTP1EDY_MDMNR001 is generated.
I googled to find the solution for this issue, everywhere I found that the metadata in XI side should be deleted and reimported it manually in transaction IDX2. We have done this couple of times and are of no luck.
Could anyone please tell is this due to someother issue other than the metadata in XI.
Thanks,
Murali.

SAP ERP
1. do you have "set release" at the new segment and idoctype ?
2. do you have provided the new extension in the partnerprofile we20 ?
SAP XI
1. delete the imported IDoc Object in the integration repository/Service Repository
2. reimport the new IDoc (with extension).
3. check your interface objects (message interface/mappings) that the new extension name is used
4. clear metadata and reimport via idx2
maybe you have to clear the cache.

What's wrong with this code (AS3)?

I want to publish a live stream and, when a button is pressed, publish the same stream for vod. I haven't been able to get an answer as to whether I can do this...my code is below. Can someone please tell me if I can do this, or what may be wrong with my code?
The live stream and playback works fine; but the recording doesn't start. Also, I want other objects on the client, such as the current camera and audio information, and the aspect ratio being used. I havent' been able to get these to show up (i.e., the incomingLbl and outgoingLbl do not show up).
Thank you,

use event.currentTarget (and you don't need to repeatedly define the same function):
var c:int;
var buttonName:String;
for (c = 1;c < 5;c++) {
     buttonNum = "button"+c;
     this[buttonNum].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pressStepButton);
function pressStepButton(event:MouseEvent) {          trace(event.currentTarget,event.currentTarget.name);     }

How to add a table (dynamic created) into a model attribute

i have dynamically created an internal table. Generally i use model-binding in a stateful MVC-Application.
Is there a possibiltity to transfer the dynamic table to a model. As far as i know generic attributes are not allowed in the modell class.
Every hint welcome
thx in advance

By some miracle I do have this finally working. I will warn you up front that the code is not the cleanest (I have stuff copied in from all over the place. I probably have lots of unused variable references - but I am running out of time to clean it up further). Also I don't have all the logic to support all your different possible dynamic structure types. I always use SFLIGHT as my dyanmic structure. Therefore you will have to adapt the coding to lookup the actual structure type in use.
So I have a model that has an structure ITAB type ref to data. In my Model initialization I go ahead and dynamically redfine this to my specific type:
METHOD init.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM sflight INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF isflight.
DATA: struct_type TYPE REF TO cl_abap_structdescr,
    tabletype TYPE REF TO cl_abap_tabledescr.
struct_type ?= cl_abap_structdescr=>describe_by_name( 'SFLIGHT' ).
CREATE DATA me->itab TYPE HANDLE struct_type.
ENDMETHOD.
Then in my View I have the following:
<%@page language="abap" %>
<%@extension name="htmlb" prefix="htmlb" %>
<%@extension name="phtmlb" prefix="phtmlb" %>
<%@extension name="bsp" prefix="bsp" %>
<htmlb:content design="design2003" >
<htmlb:page title=" " >
    <htmlb:form>
      <phtmlb:matrix width="100%" >
        <%
field-symbols: <wa> type any.
assign model->itab->* to <wa>.
* append initial line to <wa_itab> assigning <Wa>.
data: descriptor type ref to CL_ABAP_STRUCTDESCR.
descriptor ?= CL_ABAP_STRUCTDESCR=>describe_by_data( <wa> ).
data: flddescr type DDFIELDS.
flddescr = descriptor->GET_DDIC_FIELD_LIST( ).
field-symbols: <wa_field> like line of flddescr.
data: label type ref to cl_htmlb_label.
data: input type ref to CL_HTMLB_INPUTFIELD.
data: binding_string type string.
"Loop through each field in the structure Definition
loop at flddescr assigning <Wa_field>.
clear label.
clear input.
concatenate '//model/itab.'
<wa_field>-FIELDNAME
into binding_string.
label ?= cl_htmlb_label=>factory( _for = binding_string ).
input ?= cl_htmlb_inputfield=>factory( _value = binding_string ).
        %>
        <phtmlb:matrixCell row    = "+1"
                           vAlign = "TOP" />
        <bsp:bee bee="<%= label %>" />
        <phtmlb:matrixCell col    = "+1"
                           vAlign = "TOP" />
        <bsp:bee bee="<%= input %>" />
        <%
endloop.
        %>
      </phtmlb:matrix>
     <htmlb:button id="Test" onClick="Test" text="Submit"/>
    </htmlb:form>
</htmlb:page>
The key to making this work are custom getter/setters. In your model class, you can copy from the template methods (Like GETM_S_XYZ for the metadata structure method). Copy them and remove the _ on the front of the name. Then change XYZ to the name of the attribute you are binding for. The following are my custom methods.
method get_m_s_itab .

I know that is a LOT of nasty code without too much explanation. I'm afriad there isn't time right now to expand on how it works too much. Between my day job and trying to finish the BSP book, there just isn't much time left. Like I said before there is a very large section in the book on this topic that hopefully explains it. The book will be out in December or early January - but perhaps I will get some time before then to write up something on SDN about this.

Excel Macro to click on publish button of Master Data Services Add-in

I am creating an excel macro to perform extra validation and defaults whilst the user is editing the MDS entity. It will be added as a workbook add-in. At the end of the macro I would like to be able to launch publish. The MDS addin is a ribbon.
Does anyone have an example of how I can simulate a click on the Publish button or what the call that the button does is?

Error when deploying application

Hello!
We are trying to migrate our application from Tomcat 5.5 to WebLogic Server and we are getting some problems.
When we deploy the application we are getting the following error:
####<Sep 11, 2008 11:51:22 AM WEST> <Error> <HTTP> <VMWEBLOGIC> <AdminServer> <[STANDBY] ExecuteThread: '4' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)'> <<WLS Kernel>> <> <> <1221130282164> <BEA-101216> <Servlet: "flashgateway.controller.GatewayServlet" failed to preload on startup in Web application: "application.war".flashgateway.GatewayException: [Flash Remoting MX]-> Unable to load configuration.

It's our first contact with WebLogic and maybe we are forgetting someting important. Could you help us to find the problem and the best way to solve it?
Thanks a lot for your help

You do not need to clear metadata (It will also delete all data and journals). You shoud do your required task in 2 stages.
Assuming you have to make a base account a parent account with some new children.
1. Extract data for that base level account (say BS100100) for all entity, scenario, period combination and save the file(s).
2. Delete account BS100100 from metadata and deploy the application (1st time deployment)
3. Now create an account BS100100 in metadata and also create required children (Say BS100101 and BS100102)
4. Deploy the application (2nd time deployment)
5. Take your data back up and do a find replace for one of the new base account (BS100100 -> BS100101)
6. Load the data and consolidate.
Hope this helps....
