Converting DBFS to DB - Risky or Not?

Hello Everyone-
Currently, I have a DBFS repository that has around 5000 documents on it.  These documents are pretty critical to the Portal so I don't want to lose them.  However, based on the small size, I've decided performance would be better if they were in DB repository.  Reading through the forums, I know you can change the Repository Type after you create the repository but I was wondering what would happen to the documents in the file share?  Are they orphaned or copied into the DB?  Do I need to do anything in preparation (other than backing up the files) before I make the switch?
Thanks-
Jim

Well, it's the VM, not the DB, which interacts with the filesystem...
I do not disagree that it doesn't have benefits, I just wanted to clarify that in practice the difference may not matter at all, in particular if caches are in effect.

  • After I connected my hard disk to a friend's windows system all my files have been converted to .ink files and do not open....what do i do? They had important content

    after connecting my hard disk to a windows laptop all my files have somehow converted to .ink files and are not accessible.....what do i do?

    What do you mean by "all files", surely only one category of files got their default open program changed.
    Choose the affected files, right click on an individual file, and "open with",...change to default program.
    For a group, right click > show info > open with > change ALL
    If more than one group of files has had its default opening program changed, a time machine roll-back would be the easy option. Do you have a TM backup?

    Hi ,
    There is an option of embedding index for faster search while converting email to a PDF .
    However I am not sure that will serve your purpose or not .
    I would recommend you to get in touch with Microsoft support as well .
    Meanwhile I'll work on it and get back to you in case I get a desired solution .

  • ITunes 12 'error occurred converting the file the disk is not available'

    Hi,
    looking for some advice on an issue with importing disks into iTunes 12.0.01.26 on Windows 7
    I import a CD and the first song generally imports successfully
    However I noticed the second song (or sometimes the fourth) fails with the following :
    'error occurred converting the file the disk is not available'
    I can manually untick the first songs that have imported successfully and re-import the remainder.
    Generally another song will import and the error will reoccur. I can continue this laborious process until the CD is fully imported
    I can rip CD's using Windows Media Player without any issue so it doesn't look like an optical drive issue
    I have checked under Preferences - Advanced and the iTunes media folder is apparent. I'm using an external drive for my iTunes Library.
    Attempts to Resolve
    I tested by setting up an iTunes library under my C:\ and the issue reoccurs.
    I've tried repairing the installation but it made no difference.
    I tried removing the iTunesPreferences.plist file - no difference
    I have switched off (and back on) the automatic prompt to import CD's
    Turned off and on error checking when importing CD's
    I have noticed the prompt to import the CD can pop up at least twice, often again when an import is underway
    I would be grateful for any suggestions on remedial steps I could take!
    Many Thanks
    Paul

    Hey Paul_Ramone,
    Sorry to hear you are having these issues with iTunes on your Windows machine. If you continue having issues importing tracks from CDs into iTunes (after the first track), you may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful:

  • DNG Converter ver. 6.4 does not recognize NX100 .SRW files

    I downloaded/installed DNG converter ver. 6.4 on my iMac with updated OS-X 10.6+. It installed okay, but it will not recognize my NX100 .SRW RAW files. They are grayed out, so unselectable.  The ReadMe file says the NX100 is covered with this version, so what am I missing?
    As a side note, I also have a copy of Lightroom 3, and it has the latest ACR, so it can read the .SRW files, but I would like to try using the DNG converter so other software I have could be used for editing.  The DNG converter should let me quickly convert my .SRW files for this purpose, without having to first process them through LR 3.  Could this be the roadblock, having ACR also installed?
    thanks,
    Dennis

    In addition, you can also use Lightroom to do the conversion.
    You just select the files you want to convert and then click Library > Convert Photo(s) To DNG
    In fact, you can select your entire library and convert them all to DNG.  You don't need to make sure to only select RAW files, because there is an option to "Only Convert RAW Files".  So, why not just select everything?
    Using Lightroom to do the conversion also gives you the ability to convert specific individual files, instead of needing to select an entire directory, if that's what you'd like to do.

  • Converting to MP3 causes iTunes to Not Respond while using 50% CPU usage and makes my computer stutter

    Anytime I attempt to "Createa an MP3 Version" of a track, it will take a REALLY long time to work.
    Right now I am attempting to convert an audio book I have which has 88 tracks.  Once I start to convert anything more than 1 track at a time, iTunes immediatly becomes "Not Responding" and takes up about 50% of my CPU the entire time.  It seems like it's doing something in the background but it won't even update the screen anymore, creating weird effects on my screen (Ghost menu bars show up at the top of my screen, etc.).  In addition, once iTunes becomes non-responsive, my entire computer starts to "stutter" meaning that every other second everything momentarily hiccips and stop for a split-second.  This means that while iTunes is converting any multiple MP3 files, if I drag the mouse across the screen, it stops every other second.  Any videos that I try to play pause every other second briefly.  Basically, my computer becomes almost unusable.  Plus, while iTunes is working in the background, different programs randomly jump to the front of the screen.  I will try to be using my web browser while iTunes is working in the background.  Then, suddenly, iTunes pops back up to the foreground in front of my browser (put still won't be responsive to clicks).  My notes program will also flash windows in front of my web browser while surfing, again, only when iTunes is running in the background. 
    I really don't understand:
    1.  Why it takes so much time to convert any file to an MP3 file.  Even converting a single track takes a few minutes.  I'll let my Macbook Pro (with Windows) sit for HOURS upon hours trying to convert the 88 track audio book and it always freezes up and never comes back.
    2.  Why iTunes becomes non-responsive so quickly and won't allow the screen to update once it starts "thinking."  It caps out around 50% of my CPU power so it's not like it doesn't have the headroom to refresh the screen while it works.
    3.  Why does iTunes' working in the background affect every other program I am running?  I don't mind if it uses up CPU cycles in the background, but if it makes my computer unusable while doing so, it's really not worth it.
    I should state that I love Apple products (even though I use Windows on my MBP for school purposes).  However, I absolutely DREAD having to do anything with iTunes anymore because it has become such a hog on my computer.  Someone please tell me that there is something wrong with my iTunes and/or a setting I should change.  I have already re-installed iTunes from scratch before and that didn't help.

    Not a solution, but if the Podcast feed is dormant, why not unsubscribe?
    As to the file structure for media on the device it is deliberately obscured as a countermeasure to casual piracy. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. Content put on the iPod by a non-iPod aware product is going to treat it like any external drive. The iPod firmware won't read that media.

  • Error occurred while converting the file "". You do not have the privilege

    I have recently bought a new MacBook Pro and it's my first mac ever. I have imported all my songs into itunes from an external hard drive where i would keep all my music and video's. I went ahead and added it to my mac and everything plays and works fine but whenever i try to import a cd i get this message Error occurred while converting the file "(Song Title)". You do not have the privilege to make changes." I tried changing the sharing and permission settings on the drive but it won't let me so i have no idea on what to do next. Any help is appreciated!

  • Files converted from m4a to mp3 are not displaying correctly in feed

    hi; i recently produced my first show in garageband (after using a bunch of other audio apps in the past), exported to an m4a file, and converted to mp3 in itunes, but it is not showing up as an audio file in my feed.
    the feed is http://feeds.feedburner.com/wellroundedradio and my blog posting on it is http://wellroundedmedia.blogspot.com
    is there something you need to do when converting from m4a to mp3 in itunes to make sure the settings are all correct so it will be enclosed as an audio file? i have tested other mp3 files in the feed and they are working fine.
    thx, charlie

    thanks. yes, i think that's what has been so tricky about this. i add a link to an mp3 in blogger, but feedburner doesn't add this particular show as an enclosure, so it's not updating in the feed. can't seem to find where the origin of the problem, though...is it blogger, feedburner, or the mp3 file or...?

  • MAC OS 01.4.11 WITH SPRINT CENTRO PALM SYS. TRYING TO CONVERT CONTACTS TO PALM 800W? NOT POSSIBLE?

    THERE ARE 4 PROBLEMS TRYING TO CONVERT FROM PALM CENTRO DATA TO PALM 800W:
    1.MAC needs third party software to convert to ms,(if you have windows computer you still have the MS ongoing problems),
    2.PALM PDA CELL PHONES,(no vision for the future)
    3.NEW 800W WINDOWS MOBILE CELL PHONES.(usual monumental updates $$$)
    4.SPRINT(lacks the technical support).
    CAN'T TRANSFER 565 CONTACTS FROM CENTRO(palm system) TO PALM 800W(windows mobile system). WINDOWS SUCKS. WON'T ALLOW TRANSFER OF MORE THAN ONE CONTACT TRANSFER AT A TIME VIA BLUETOOTH(the only way to transfer data). THAN IF YOU DON'T HAVE A WINDOWS BASED COMPUTER, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SYNC DATA.
    ON ONE AT SPRINT CAN HELP. YOU WOULD THINK IF SPRINT OFFERS THE PALM PHONES AS UPGRADES, THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO PROVIDE PALM CUSTOMERS INFORMATION ON HOW TO TRANSFER DATA TO WINDOWS MOBILE DEVICES. THIS IS A PRIME EXAMPLE OF MICROSOFT CONTROLLING THE WORLD OF TECHNOLOGY AND SPRINT AND PALM OBVIOUSLY THEIR SLAVES. 
    YOU'D THINK PALM WOULD BE PROUD ENOUGH WITH THEIR "AWARD WINNING OPERATING SYSTEM FOR PDA'S" AND NO DOUBT BEST, STABLE SOFTWARE FOR CELL PHONES, TO HAVE ENOUGH PRIDE TO MAKE A NEW PALM CELL PHONE THAT WOULD BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE SPRINT NAVIGATION SYSTEM... MAYBE THE CENTRO WAS THEIR LAST STAND. LAZY FOLKS, BLACKBERRY MOVING AHEAD...
    NOTHING SYNCS... NOTHING TRANSFERS... AND NOTHING IS COMPATIBLE... IMAGINE!.... IF YOU WANT SPRINT NAVIGATION AND HAVE USED PALM PDA PHONES FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS... good luck.
    I AM CHANGING CARRIERS AFTER 10 YEARS WITH SPRINT AS A LOYAL CUSTOMER... NO ONE CAN HELP. MY AVERAGE BILL WITH SPRINT IS $240 PER MONTH PAID IN FULL EACH MONTH AND NOW UNDERSTAND, THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO RESPOND TO THE NEEDS OF LOYAL CUSTOMERS.
    PALM IS JUST AS GUILTY BY ENDORSING A NEW "PALM 800W" PHONE THAT CAN NOT TRANSFER INFORMATION FROM LOYAL PALM PDA CELL PHONE USERS TO THE "NEW PALM 800W", CAPABLE OF THE "NEW SPRINT NAVIGATION SYSTEM" PHONES. 
    TRY AT&T WITH THE IPHONE. MAYBE IT WILL TRANSFER DATA, SYNC WITH MAC AND BE AN ASSET NOT A MAJOR PROBLEM.
    THE OTHER OPTION IS TO TRY THE "BLACKBERRY'S". UNLIKE PALM, THEY HAVE STAYED UP WITH TECHNOLOGY AND HAVE NEW PHONES OFFERED BY SPRINT THAT ARE COMPATIBLE WITH "SPRINT NAV" AND CAN TRANSFER OLD PALM FILES.  
    Post relates to: Treo 800w (Sprint)

    Respectfully, I can understand your frustration but no windows mobile based device is supported to sync to a Mac. Certainly this is frustrating but I would suggest research in the future if you require certain features in a product.
