Confused about .ffx files

I was watching a tutorial on aetuts and they offered a preset.
I downloaded the preset and its a .ffx file.
How do I open this file on After Effects?
I tried right clicking and selecting
"Open with After Effects"
but then I get the error message:
"After Effects error: Can't import file
"Type-on_Text_Preset.ffx"
unsupported filetype or extension"
( 0:: 1 )
I am running After Effect cs6

See this section of After Effects Help for an introduction to animation presets:

Confused about storing files in 1.5

I want to store my files in Aperture, not scattered about my hard drive. So I assume when importing I need to click on Store files in Aperture? Mine defaults to "In their current location." I just imported 2000 images and not sure what I had clicked.
Should I re-import those images?
I have read what the difference is, but not sure really what it means and what it does.
Thanks for your help.

Kevin,
There is a 'badge' to show that images are referenced (as opposed to fully managed in Aperture). It should be fairly obvious which button you pushed. Have a hunt around.

IAd Unit sizes: I am a bit confused about the file limits

Say I have the bottom banner for iPad (hr) and full size iPad banner, what is the max iAdUnit size?
Is it: 350kb for full size iPad banner (including all the images included on that page), + 200kb for the bottom banner
Or how does it even work with sizes?

It appears that Lightroom will warn you when your original file (or XMP sidecar) is out of sync with the Lightroom database. In other words, if you import an image with no metadata, then add metadata within Lightroom, the Lightroom database will have metadata that the file (or XMP sidecar) will not. That is what the warning is concerning.
Nothing more, and no worries if you choose to ignore it. All current data would be in the database.
Actually, I suppose it is a little more complicated than that, but basically speaking, there's nothing to worry about. That being said, if you edit metadata in an outside application, and then tell Lightroom to sync the folder, I expect the warning will appear because the file (or XMP sidecar) now has data that the Lightroom database doesn't. The point is still the same...
Anyone with more than a day's worth of knowledge care to jump in and correct me?

ITunes confused about .wma files

I had some .wma files in My Music. They, unsurprisingly, did not play on my new iPod. So I purchased them anew from iTunes. They now play on the computer and show up in the music library, but will not load onto my iPod. They still have an exclamation point next to them. I have tried removing the .wma files from My Music, at which point iTunes cannot find these tunes at all. Help!

*I just noticed that the software I have instaled in my laptop is not converting this kind of file (wma) to another one which can be played by ipod's*
Does that mean you're using a different kind of audio converter other than iTunes? If so, try converting the files through iTunes, as iTunes does have the ability to convert audio to a compatible format.
If you are already trying to use iTunes, then that is a different story. Do you know where you got the wma files from? Were they purchased online, or were they imported from CD using Windows Media Player?

About passwd file !!!!!!!!!

Dear Friends ,
I m confused about password file . Plz tell me , where contain SYS user password and other oracle user's passwd ?
Both are stored in the passwd file ?
My anotehr question , I know the "remote_login_passwordfile " parameter file are three types . NONE , Shared and Exclusive . I m not clear about this three types of options . Can u plz tell me the difference between them , so that I understand clearly .

+The [exclusive] password file can contain SYS as well as non-SYS users.+
Sorry to be picky, but the wording on that leaves a little bit to be desired.
A password file is only ever used for external authentication of privileged users, with "a privilged user" being defined as someone who can perform the five main classes of privileged action (startup, shutdown, backup, recover and create database). In fact, there is only ever one privileged user in this respect: SYS. Log on, for example, as fred/smith as sysdba in SQL*Plus and then do a show user and you will find you have been logged on as SYS. It doesn't matter what user names you supply (assuming they're valid usernames at all, of course), and you will find yourself always logged on as SYS.
So, you are right: 'grant sysdba to fred' causes fred's data dictionary credentials to be transferred to an exclusive password file, and that password file therefore must be said to contain 'non-SYS' users. But the minute Fred uses the fact that he has an entry in the password file to log on to the database as a privileged user, he will connect as SYS. He'll only connect as Fred if he doesn't use the 'as sysdba' clause of the logon command and therefore uses the internal authentication mechanism which is the data dictionary.
What you wrote isn't wrong, therefore, but it's potentially misleading, I think. It's also out-of-date, because it's not true for 10g... but see below for that.
I would have said:
1. The normal way to authenticate normal users of a database is to look up their details in a bunch of tables contained within the database itself (SYS.USER$, for example). This is called Data Dictionary Authentication, and the connection string would look like connect fred/smith
2. If you want to be authenticated as a user who is allowed to startup the database, however, it's not very helpful to discover that the only way of authenticating users is to look at tables inside the database you're trying to start up! There has to be an external authentication mechanism, allowing authentication of users even when the database hasn't even been created yet
3. In fact, there are two external authentication mechanisms: either you, the user of the operating system, can have membership of a special operating system group (dba on Unix, usually; ORA_DBA on Windows, usually). Or, a password file is created, using an Oracle tool that runs whether a database exists or not, called orapwd. These are called OS Authentication or Password File Authentication
4. No matter which external authentication mechanism you make use of, you will always end up logged on as SYS.
5. To indicate you want to use an external authentication mechanism, of either type, you add the as sysdba keywords to the standard logon string. Seeing that, Oracle will always check the operating system groups first to see if your OS account has group membership; if it fails there, then it looks for a password file, unless REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE=NONE (in which case, it doesn't bother looking for a file you've declared doesn't exist)
6. Password files, if they exist, can be SHARED (one per server, and all databases on that server can use it) or EXCLUSIVE (one per database, and not shareable) -but see below for more recent information about this. The principle difference these days between the two types is that the SYS password cannot be changed if the file is SHARED (and neither can any other of its contents), but can be if it's EXCLUSIVE.
7. If your password file is EXCLUSIVE, it must live in ORACLE_HOME/dbs (or ORACLE_HOME\database on Windows) and have a name that conforms to the OS-platform-specific default. On Windows, for example, that is pwdXXXX.ora, where XXXX is the ORACLE_SID.
I don't want to confuse anyone, either, but in fact the story has changed a bit with 10g, because EXCLUSIVE is no longer documented as a valid value for REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE. See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/initparams179.htm#REFRN10184. It's still supported for backwards compatibility, and it's in fact still the default, but allegedly -according to that document- an EXCLUSIVE password file behaves exactly like a SHARED one. That is sort-of true, in the sense that it's now possible for a SHARED file to contain details of users who aren't called SYS. However, it's still impossible to add a non-SYS user into a password file which is in SHARED mode (so, in a sense, setting SHARED locks the password file from any modification -including changing SYS's password).
But you can now do this for example:
set R_P_L=EXCLUSIVE
grant sysdba to scott;
set R_P_L=SHARED
bounce instance
show parameter remote_login -> proves the password file in use is SHARED
select * from v$pwfile_users; -> both SYS and SCOTT will be listed, even though the password file is SHARED
grant sysdba to fred; -> This will produce an ORA-01999: password file cannot be updated in SHARED mode error
In earlier versions of Oracle, that demo would have failed at step 3, because the existence of SCOTT in the password file would have prevented the file from becoming a SHARED one.

I'm a bit confused about standby log files

Hi all,
I'm a bit confused about something and wondering if someone can explain.
I have a Primary database that ships logs to a Logical Standby database.
Everything appears to be working properly. If I check the v$archived_log table in the Primary and compare it to the dba_logstdby_log view in the Logical Standby, I'm seeing that logs are being applied.
On the logical standby, I have the following configured for log_archive_dest_n parameters:
*.log_archive_dest_1='LOCATION=/u01/oracle/archivedlogs/ORADB1
VALID_FOR=(ALL_LOGFILES,ALL_ROLES) DB_UNIQUE_NAME=PNX8A_GMD'
*.log_archive_dest_2='LOCATION=/u02/oracle/archivedlogs/ORADB1
VALID_FOR=(ALL_LOGFILES,ALL_ROLES) DB_UNIQUE_NAME=PNX8A_GMD'
*.log_archive_dest_3='LOCATION=/u03/oracle/archivedlogs/ORADB1
VALID_FOR=(ALL_LOGFILES,ALL_ROLES) DB_UNIQUE_NAME=PNX8A_GMD'
*.log_archive_dest_4='SERVICE=PNX8A_WDC ASYNC VALID_FOR=(ONLINE_LOGFILES,PRIMARY_ROLE) DB_UNIQUE_NAME=PNX8A_WDC'
*.log_archive_dest_5='LOCATION=/u01/oracle/standbylogs/ORADB1
VALID_FOR=(STANDBY_LOGFILES,STANDBY_ROLE) DB_UNIQUE_NAME=PNX8A_GMD'
*.log_archive_dest_6='LOCATION=/u02/oracle/standbylogs/ORADB1
VALID_FOR=(STANDBY_LOGFILES,STANDBY_ROLE) DB_UNIQUE_NAME=PNX8A_GMD'
*.log_archive_dest_7='LOCATION=/u03/oracle/standbylogs/ORADB1
VALID_FOR=(STANDBY_LOGFILES,STANDBY_ROLE) DB_UNIQUE_NAME=PNX8A_GMD'
Here is my confusion now. Before converting from a Physical standby database to a Logical Standby database, I was under the impression that I needed the standby logs (i.e. log_archive_dest_5, 6 and 7 above) because a Physical Standby database would receive the redo from the primary and write it into the standby logs before applying the redo in the standby logs to the Physical standby database.
I've now converted to a Logical Standby database. What's happening is that the standby logs are accumulating in the directory pointed to by log_archive_dest_6 above (/u02/oracle/standbylogs/ORADB1). They do not appear to be getting cleaned up by the database.
In the Logical Standby database I do have STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT parameter set to AUTO. Can anyone explain to me why standby log files would continue to accumulate and how I can get the Logical Standby database to remove them after they are no longer needed on the LSB db?
Thanks in advance.

I assume you mean in your question, why on the standby database I am using three standby log locations (i.e. log_archive_dest_5, 6, and 7)?
If that is your question, my answer is that I just figured more than one location would be safer but I could be wrong about this. Can you tell me if only one location should be sufficient for the standby logs? The more I think of this, that is probably correct because I assume that Log Transport services will re-request the log from the Primary database if there is some kind of error at the standby location with the standby log. Is this correct?As simple configure as below. Why more multiple destinations for standby?

Just bought a Nikon d750 and confused about adobe LR4 and PS6 support for the RAW files. I have DNG 8.7 but wondering if LR and PS will import direct soon Thanks for any advice

Just bought a Nikon d750 and confused about adobe LR4 and PS6 support for the RAW files. I have DNG 8.7 but wondering if LR and PS will import direct soon Thanks for any advice

Support for the Nikon D750 was introduced in the latest version of LR 5.7 and ACR 8.7 on Novemder 18th 2014.
Further updates to LR 4 were stopped when LR 5 was released on June 9th 2013. No further updates for bug fixes and new camera support.
Nada, LR 4 will never support Nikon D750. The Nikon D750 was introduced into the market in September 2014 some 15 months after further development of LR 4 was discontinued.
You can use the Adobe DNG program (free download for the package) to convert the Nef (raw) files from your Nikon D750 to the Adobe DNG format which will permit you to import those into LR 4. This is the crutch provided by Adobe to allow for the processing of raw files with outdated versions of LR and ACR.
You can also update the ACR plugin for PS CS6 to version 8.7 which can also work with the raw files from the D750. For direct support in Lightroom you will need to upgrade (paid) to version 5.7.

Question about download file in OAS4

Question about download file in OAS4:
I use Oracle Application Server 4.0.7 on my Windows NT 4.0 SP6;
I use PL/Sql Cartridge developer a document system; It's use the
upload/download in PL/Sql Cartridge;
I read the document , the Upload/download in Pl/Sql Base on the
Oracle Application Server's Content Service. the Problem is when I
download a document, If I upload a Html or MsWord file, It will store in a LongRaw column, when me download ; It's tell me can't
find a application to open this file; I will select a application
from list to open the download file;
As normal, It will open MsWord Automatic when download a "doc" file ; also It will open a new window of Browser to view a Html file;
I check the download process on client Browser; when download
file, The content-type always return "application/octet-stream";
Also the download File will lost the postfix of the file,
So Browser don't open the File Automatic;
I think If I set the correct Content-Type , Browser can know how open the file; So I use owa_content.set_content_type procedure
set the Doc file to "application/msword" , but the WEb Server always
return "application/octet-stream";
I didn't know how to do this problem, Plese help me.

I have a Tecra M2 and rely on your email update to ensure I have the latest drivers on my machine.
When I received a Toshiba support email on 14 April 2005 giving reference to a QFE from Microsoft I assumed it would be necessary for my Tecra.
I was very confused when I found that this QFE and subsequent ones posted on the 16 April 2005 relate to Pre SP2 critical updates no9t required if one has already taken earlier advice of updating to Service Pack, at the very least your narrative should make mention of this. I find it very difficult to believe that your updates are two+ years out of date.

Confused about transaction, checkpoint, normal recovery.

After reading the documentation pdf, I start getting confused about it's description.
Rephrased from the paragraph on the transaction pdf:
"When database records are created, modified, or deleted, the modifications are represented in the BTree's leaf nodes. Beyond leaf node changes, database record modifications can also cause changes to other BTree nodes and structures"
"if your writes are transaction-protected, then every time a transaction is committed the leaf nodes(and only leaf nodes) modified by that transaction are written to JE logfiles on disk."
"Normal recovery, then is the process of recreating the entire BTree from the information available in the leaf nodes."
According to the above description, I have following concerns:
1. if I open a new environment and db, insert/modify/delete several million records, and without reopen the environment, then normal recovery is not run. That means, so far, the BTree is not complete? Will that affact the query efficiency? Or even worse, will that output incorrect results?
2. if my above thinking is correct, then every time I finish commiting transactions, I need to let the checkpoint to run in order to recreate the whole BTree. If my above thinking is not correct, then, that means that, I don't need to care about anything, just call transaction.commit(), or db.sync(), and let je to care about all the details.(I hope this is true :>)
michael.

http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/je/TransactionGettingStarted/chkpoint.html
Checkpoints are normally performed by the checkpointer background thread, which is always running. Like all background threads, it is managed using the je.properties file. Currently, the only checkpointer property that you may want to manage is je.checkpointer.bytesInterval. This property identifies how much JE's log files can grow before a checkpoint is run. Its value is specified in bytes. Decreasing this value causes the checkpointer thread to run checkpoints more frequently. This will improve the time that it takes to run recovery, but it also increases the system resources (notably, I/O) required by JE.

Confused about standby redo log groups

hi masters,
i am little bit confuse about creating redo log group for standby database,as per document number of standby redo group depends on following equation.
(maximum number of logfiles for each thread + 1) * maximum number of threads
but i dont know where to fing threads? actually i would like to know about thread in deep.
how to find current thread?
thanks and regards
VD

is it really possible that we can install standby and primary on same host??
yes its possible and i have done it many times within the same machine.
For yours confusion about spfile ,i agree document recommend you to use spfile which is for DG broker handling if you go with DG borker in future only.
There is no concern spfile using is an integral step for primary and standby database implementation you can go with pfile but good is use spfile.Anyhow you always keep pfile on that basis you created spfile,i said you make an entry within pfile then mount yours standby database with this pfile or you can create spfile from this pfile after adding these parameter within pfile,i said cause you might be adding this parmeter from SQL prompt.
1. logs are not getting transfered(even i configure listener using net manager)
2.logs are not getting archived at standby diectory.
3.'ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE DISCONNECT FROM SESSION' NEVER COMPLETE ITS RECOVERY
4. when tried to open database it always note it 'always' said system datafile is not from sufficiently old backup.
5.i tried 'alter database recover managed standby database camncel' also.Read yours alert log file and paste the latest log here..

PSE 7 confusion about folder location, help needed

Here's some background: I'm using PhotoShop Elements 7 on Win XP. I have an external firewire hard drive I use for overflow/backups. Originally, this showed up as a K: drive on my system.
I added a RAID controller and two more drives to stripe as a single drive for temp space rendering movies. This ended up as a K: drive and the external moved to L: However, when I did this there were some pictures from my catalog that I had on the external drive. I have used File > reconnect missing files to handle the moves, but PSE is still confused (very).
PSE has started to mix up the RAID (K:) and external (L:) content. If I move a set of pictures (e.g. a folder of them) onto the external drive (L:) via drag and drop in the folder location view, the folder will show up empty on the L: heirarchy, but will show up as a gray folder icon in the K: RAID drive hierarchy. If I open up windows explorer, the RAID drive will appear empty. In other cases (I'm not sure when/how yet), pictures physically end up on the RAID drive itself instead of the external. I have uninstalled both the external drive and the RAID drive and reinstalled them both, but they are still getting confused in the folder view by PSE. I've also tried moving content outside of PSE and just reconnecting missing files, but it still wants to put things under the K: RAID drive instead of the external L:.
I've searched everywhere I can think of for a description of what gray folder icons in the folder location view means and can find none. I'm not sure how to convince PSE that there's nothing on the RAID K: drive and it shouldn't try to connect the two. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jim

Thank you! I ran psedbtool and the output shows the catalog has the wrong drive letter for the L: drive.
Is there a way to make PSE forget about the K: and L: drives that it is so confused about so that it can relearn of their existence? If I use the drive letter reassignment to fix PSE, it will break other apps that are now dependent on the current drive letter assignments. I've tried removing all files from the L: drive, but it's still remembered as part of the catalog.
Thanks,
Jim

Confuse about Configuring Oracle Warehouse Builder

newbie here... i am abit confuse on how to configure the Oracle Warehouse builder...
I have 2 database... 1 source and 1 new one...
I understand that i have to install the Runtime Repository in the database computer and the Target Schema through the client's computer...
so all this while... i am just confuse about what to install into the source database and what to install into the new database...
Please help...

Location is a logical entity in your OWB design that can be either a database schema, a flat file location, an SAP application location etc. Once you complete your design and are ready to deploy the design into the runtime environment, you will have to 'register' the locations by providing the physical details of your location to OWB (user name/password, database, hostname etc.).
I am a bit confused by your configuration - are the source and the target in two separate schemas or in the same schema? Your posts are somewhat contradictory.
If they are in two different schemas, you should:

Create a source module pointing to a source schema (you can then import data object structures from the source schema - i.e. you don't have to create source tables manually in OWB, but you can import them into the module automatically). This module will have a source location (for example SRC_LOC).
2. Create a target module where all your target objects will be (i.e. where the data will be loaded). This module will have a different location (TGT_LOC). In your target module you will also create the mappings.
3. When deploying, you will register SRC_LOC with the physical details of your source schema, while the target location will be registered with the physical details of the target schema. The code generated by OWB during deployment will make sure that the data is extracted from the source schema and inserted into the target schema (either by generating and using DB links or by qualifying the schemas in the extraction queries if source and target are in the same database instance).
On the other hand, if both source and target objects are in the same db schema, you can have all your objects in the same target module and you will only have to register the location of this target module when deploying (LOC_TGT).
That said, there can be a variety of reasons why there is no data in the target after you run the extract mapping that have nothing to do with locations, such as logical errors in the mapping (an inappropriate filter or a wrong join), insufficient privileges etc. I suggest you take a look in the runtime audit browser that should contain the error messages relative to your mapping.

Confusion about recovery

Hi ,
I am new to the DBA field and I have a confusion about recovery.
The confusion is if a database is in noarchivelog mode can a database be recovered from commited changes that were there in the redo log files ?
If I provide the path name of the redo log files while using recover database using cancel will it work at all given that the database is in noarchivelog mode ?
Please help to clear my doubts..

Oracle can use the Online Redo Logs for Recovery. Normally this happens in the case of Instance Recovery (e.g. from a server crash or shutdown abort) -- where the datafiles are not restored from a prior backup.
If you restore datafiles from a prior backup, you are doing a media recovery. In NOARCHIVELOG mode, you could not have run a backup with the database OPEN, so the backup would have been run with the database SHUTDOWN or MOUNTed. At the subsequent startup, transactions would be in the online redo logs only until LGWR does a "wrap around" and overwrites the first redo log used after the startup. It is only within this window that transactions are in the redo logs.+
Remember that LGWR uses a "round-robin" algorithm to cycle through the online redo logs. So, if the Online Redo Log that was CURRENT at the time of the backup has been overwritten, you cannot use the Online Redo Logs for a RECOVERy+._
You must also ensure that there are no NOLOGGING operations !!
One thing that you might trip up on is the behaviour of CTAS. A "CREATE TABLE AS SELECT" is, by default LOGGING in an ARCHIVELOG database. However, it is automatically a Direct Path operation in a NOARCHIVELOG database ! So the blocks for such a table would be "corrupt" if you attempt a recovery from the Online Redo Log as the row inserts are not captured.

Swamped and confused about products

Hi guys,
I am new to Oracle middleware products. After looking at a few articles, I am swamped and confused about those products, WebCenter (WC), Content Server (CS), Universal Content Management (UCM).
1. WC has a built-in content database, part of Oracle database. CS also stores contents into Oracle database. Then what are differences between two types of content storage? Can I build WebCenter with Content Server as the content storage?
2. WebCenter provides management functions on content. So does UCM. Users could contribute, review and release contents to web via both. Then what are differences between two types of content management? What more does UMC provide than the built-in content management in WC.
3. Content Server needs a third-party web server (port:80) to publish its content. WebCenter Suite seems use Oracle HTTP Server (port:7777) to render web pages. Is it possible to integrate those two on one web server? Why is Oracle HTTP Server using a weird port?
4. JDeveloper has the built-in OC4J container. But how can JDeveloper access or interact with Content Server or WC content database? Site Studio can access Content Server directly but only provides very limited portlet or ajax components. If I want to store web pages, static or dynamic, into WC and/or CS, which tool should I use?
Can anybody help me with them? Or please point me to the right direction. I really appreciate it.
thanks,
Chen

Plug it in and use the Transfer Purchases function, either from the resulting dialog box or from the File menu. If you need to authorize the computer, choose it from the Store menu.

After Effects FFX File Presets and Image thumbnails

This is a sample piece of code from an effects preset for a text ffx for After effects. The "<xapGImg:image>/" from below is referring to a local url. but it seems to be encrypted or something. Is there a way to make image thumbnails for my ffx files so that the thumbnail can be viewed in bridge. Been looking for the answer but nothing. thanks for helping <?xpacket begin="ï»¿" id="W5M0MpCehiHzreSzNTczkc9d"?> <x:xmpmeta xmlns:x="adobe:ns:meta/" x:xmptk="3.1.1-112"> <rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"> <rdf:Description rdf:about="" xmlns:xap="http://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/" xmlns:xapGImg="http://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/g/img/"> <xap:CreatorTool>After Effects 7.0</xap:CreatorTool> <xap:Thumbnails> <rdf:Alt> <rdf:li rdf:parseType="Resource"> <xapGImg:height>162</xapGImg:height> <xapGImg:width>216</xapGImg:width> <xapGImg:format>JPEG</xapGImg:format> <xapGImg:image>/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAgEASABIAAD/7gAOQWRvYmUAZMAAAAAB/9sAhAAKBwcHCAcKCAgKDwoICg 8S

The XMP packet looks OK--the thumbnail is base64 encoded as it should be.
You'll have a better chance of a response if you post your question on the After Effects forum--readers there are more likely to be familiar with After Effects and Bridge.
Don't post the XMP packet text--just that you can't see After Effects thumbnails in Bridge.
