Difference between importing files and adding files/folders to liabrary?

When I want to bring in new music into my liabrary from my my music folder, I don't know the difference between importing them and adding a file. They both seem to bring up the my music folder and seem to give me the same options?

To quote from the following link:
"When you add something to the library, essentially you are taking existing audio or movie files and adding an entry for each to your iTunes Library index. iTunes adds entries in your iTunes library for the selected files, and copies the files to your iTunes Music folder (if you have that option selected in the Advanced pane of iTunes preferences)."
"The Import menu item allows you to import playlists and other data files into iTunes."

  • What's the difference between Transferred Records and Added Records?

    When right click an ODS or a cube to select Manage, then under the 3rd tab called Requests, there are two columns called Transferred Records and Added Records, what's the difference between these two?
    Thanks

    Hello KeLviN,
    How r u ?
    Consider a realtime example.
    Assume a transfer of Transactional Data from R/3(with PSA) which is having Unit values in it.
    Now, I found in RSA3 2844168 of records. In BW I saw one Data Packet with 306 error records(because of a UNIT value is not available in BW T006 table, Eg. YDD) which are automatically collected in PSA. Now in the Monitor screen you could see 2 Monitor status with GREEN Signals for 2 set of data.
    1. with 2843862 records
    2. with 306 records
    Now, if u manage the Data Target you will get 2844168 in the Transferred Records & 2843862 in the Added Records. and the 306 error records are in the PSA.
    Hope this is clear.

  • Why can I have a difference between Transferred Records and Added Records

    Hello gurus,
    What could be the reason for the difference between the Transferred records and the added records in the request for an InfoObjects?
    I have in RSA3 6452 Records and in the Manage-InfoObject 1002 Records.
    thanks for your help

    - already existing master data (changed but not new)
    - start routine with deletion
    - duplicate records (with error handling activated)

    Sent vs. Sent Items <br>
    In Thunderbird, the Sent folder (located on the IMAP mail server) retains a copy of each of your outgoing e-mail messages. This is a function that can be altered in the preferences, but is most often configured in this way on the Princeton campus. '''Outlook does not recognize that the Sent folder is any different from any other e-mail folder. Outlook's equivalent of the Sent folder is called Sent Items and is generally stored locally rather than on the central mail server.''' When you begin using Outlook, copies of your outgoing e-mail messages will be stored in the Sent Items folder. The Help Desk recommends that you create a rule to send copies of your Outgoing messages to your Sent folder on the IMAP server. See Solution 9202 for instruction.

  • Color differences between Import preview and image in Library

    Hi folks,
    when I try to import photos from my D200, theys show up in the bnright colors they should during the import dialog. But once they have been imported into the Library, they are all pale - no matter if it's NEF or DNG. I do not apply Auto-Tone during import. I shoot in sRGB.
    I have no idea how to fix this, has anyone an idea what could be the cause? Help would be very much appreciated.

  • Difference between Transferred Records and Added records

    Hi,
    I am loading data into infocube ZPT_C01, a copy of 0PT_C01. In the "Manage function", under "Requests", I see two columns. One that says Transferred Records: 271370 and the other Added records: 30320.
    I understand that 271370 is the number of records in the PSA. Is 30320 the number of records added to the Infocube?
    Why aren't those two numbers identical? Are records lost? Can someone explain to me why the two record numers aren't the same?
    Thanks in advance
    Michalis

    Hi,
    the collapsing of a request is usually done when its data has been judged "correct" since a collapsed request cannot be deleted from an InfoCube.
    Now in your case, it seems that you are always having one request in your ICube and you systematically delete the datatarget content prior loading it; you could collapse your request or not. If you collapse it you might get less records in your E fact table with the corresponding increase of query runtime; however if the ratio #records collapsed (in E table) / #records collapsed (in F table) is close to 100%, you most probably don't need to collapse this request.
    In your scenario you have to be careful with the dimension tables; indeed when you delete the cube content via a chain, the dimension tables won't be deleted (that's good since when the next request will come the system won't have to recreate all the DIMIDs already present) and after a while many of these DIMIDs will perhaps not be used (you can run the corresponding RSRV check to verify this)...
    hope this helps...
    Olivier.

  • Differ between import manager and import server

    Hi to all,
                Can any one explain difference between import server and import manager and how the data will be imported to the same.
    Regards
    MM

    Hi reddy,
    Can any one explain difference between import server and import manager and how the data will be imported to the same
    Please follow the text below, which has been taken from the help.sap.com
    Both MDIS and the MDM Import Manager can import data from a source file into an MDM repository. However, each has unique capabilities that distinguish it from the other. When each is used to its advantage, the result is an import strategy which provides the most efficient importing of data possible.
    The strength of the Import Manager is its connection to the source data, which enables its interactive map-making capabilities. When the Import Manager connects to a source it preloads the entire source file, giving it knowledge of every field and every value in the source data. This u201Ctotal awarenessu201D is crucial for preparing a complete import map. To help ensure a map is complete, the Import Manageru2019s Import Status tab alerts users to any discrepancies between source data values and the current map. The user can fix these problems interactively within the Import Manager and save the corrected map before any data is imported.
    Preloading an entire source file comes at a price, however. It consumes memory on the computer running the Import Manager and very large source files may exhaust the computeru2019s available memory.
    By contrast, MDISu2019s strengths are its scalability and automation.
    For scalability, instead of preloading the entire source file into the host machineu2019s memory as the Import Manager does, MDIS processes records in a stream by loading a record at a time into memory.
    This streaming technique enables MDIS to process much larger source files than the Import Manager, as the demand for memory on the host machine is not affected by the size of the import file.
    In addition to file size, file quantity poses a second scalability challenge. For example, a real-time transactional environment may produce a staggering number of files, each containing only one or two records. To import these files individually through Import Manager would be extremely inefficient. MDIS tackles this problem with a file aggregation feature that processes files systematically in batches rather than as individual files, resulting in faster, more efficient import of data.
    As it relates to automation, MDIS requires no user intervention to import files to an MDM repository. Instead, it relies on maps created previously within the Import Manager. Once an import file is placed in the appropriate folder, its data is imported automatically into the MDM repository using the rules of the pre-defined import map. Once a file is processed, MDIS scans the repository for the next file to import. This process continues 24 hours a day, seven days a week, until either MDIS or MDM Server are stopped.
    The trade-off for this scalability and automation is that if discrepancies between the source data and the import map arise, MDIS cannot u201Cfixu201D these problems by itself. Instead, the u201Cproblem casesu201D can be fixed manually at a later time using the interactive capabilities of the Import Manager. Unlike the Import Manager, however, MDIS can set aside problem records or files and continue importing.
    These conceptual and operational differences between the Import Manager and MDIS are summarized in the table below.

  • What is the difference between Topic Keywords and Index File Keywords?

    What is the difference between Topic Keywords and Index File Keywords? Any advantages to using one over the other? Do they appear differently in the generated index?
    RH9.0.2.271
    I'm using Webhelp

    Hi there
    When you create a RoboHelp project you end up with many different ancillary files that are used to store different bits of information. Many of these files bear the name you assigned to the project at the time you created it. The index file has the project name and it ends with a .HHK file extension. (HHK meaning HTML Help Keywords)
    Generally, unless you change RoboHelp's settings, you add keywords to this file and associate topics to the keywords via the Index pod. At the time you compile a CHM or generate other types of output, the file is consulted and the index is built.
    As I said earlier, the default is to add keywords to the Index file until you configure RoboHelp to add the keywords to the topics themselves. Once you change this, any keyword added will become a META tag in the topic code. If your keyword is BOFFO, the META tag would look like this:
    <meta name="MS-HKWD" content="BOFFO" />
    When the help is compiled or generated, the Index (.HHK) file is consulted as normal, but any topics containing keywords added in this manner are also added to the Index you end up with. From the appearance perspective, the end user woudn't know the difference or be able to tell. Heck, if all you ever did was interact with the Index pod, you, as an author wouldn't know either. Well, other than the fact that the icons appear differently.
    Operationally, keywords added to the topics themselves may hold an advantage in that if you were to import these topics into other projects, the Index keywords would already be present.
    Hopefully this helps... Rick

  • Difference between jar file and package?

    What is difference between a package and jar?
    Is a jar a package? or is package jar?
    If I say
    package pink;
    does it mean pink is folder or jar?
    what if I say import pink.rose;
    does it import jar file with the rose class inside it?

    These two concepts are unrelated. A jar file is nothing more than a zip file of class files and other related resources, which you can use to 'bundle' your application for ease of deployment. Th use of zip files is not mandatory.
    Packages on the other hand, are a means of 'packaging' parts of an application or library in their own namespace, generally for reasons program structure, and to avoid naming collisions. A bunch of classes in a package will be compiled into a bunch of class files, on a one-to-onwe basis (one file per class).
    You may chose to 'bundle' those and other classes into a jar file.

  • Difference between nio-file-manager  and nio-memory-manager

    Hi,
    what's the difference between nio-file-manager and nio-memory-manager? The documentation doesn't really discuss the differences as far as I know. They both use nio to store memory-mapped files don't they? What are the advantages/disadvantages of both?
    When to choose the first one and when the second when storing a large amount of data? Can both be used to query data with the Filter API? Are there size limits on both?
    Best regards
    Jan

    Hi Jan,
    The difference is that one uses a memory mapped file and one uses direct nio memory (as part of the memory allocated by the JVM process) to store the data. Both allow storing cache data off heap making it possible to store more data with a single cache node (JVM) without long GC pauses.
    If you are using a 32 bit JVM, the JVM process will be limited to a total of ~3GB on Windows and 4GB on Linux/Solaris. This includes heap and off heap memory allocation.
    Regarding the size limitations for the nio-file manager Please see the following doc for more information.
    With the release of 3.5 there is now the idea of a Partitioned backing map which helps create larger (up to 8GB of capacity) for nio storage. Please refer to the following doc.
    Both can be used to query data but it should be noted that the indexes will be stored in heap.
    hth,
    -Dave

  • File format differences between Illustrator CS2 and CS3

    Does anyone know the difference between the file format of Adobe Illustrator CS2 and CS3? Is there a document that documents this? Can someone send a link? The reason I am asking is that I have written a plug-in which saves the current CS3 document back down to CS2 so that users who are still using Adobe Illustrator CS2 can open it. However, if the same document is opened by a CS3 user, what objects, constructs or data structures are likely to be lost because the file has be converted down to CS2? Most things seem to be retained and I have yet to find a problem but if yo save manually from CS3 to CS2, Illustrator puts up a warning stating "Saving to a legacy format may cause some changes to your text layout and disable some editing features when the document is read back in". Does anyone have any more detail on this?
    Thank you

    There are new features in CS 3 as opposed t CS 2 and the text engine has been improved some what in CS 3. If you have text on a path that is say curved you are going to see a loss in the spacing and way it is oriented. fixed in CS 4.
    I forget some of the new features in CS 3 what was not a feature in CS 2 will be flattened when saved back.
    Or the feature will simply not be available.

  • What is the difference between undo tablespace and online redo log files.

    what is the difference between undo tablespace and online redo log files. I am confused
    as per my knowledge undo tablespace is used to store the undo information when a table is being updated so that, just incase we need to rollback a transaction we know what was present in the table earlier.
    when a transaction fails the SMON performs the rollback of the data.
    This undo data is stored in the undo tablespace and read consistency if any is enforced.
    is my understanding till here correct?
    Now, can this undo data/before image not be stored in the redo log buffer and online redolog files?
    can redo-log files not store this information?
    in fact, is it that when undo tablespaces exist in a database, the undo data/before image is stored in both the undo tablespace and also the redo log files?
    kindly clarify my doubt.
    thank you.

    This question has been asked many times before. The answer is always the same.
    Yes, redo contains the before image of data (and the after-image). Therefore, it **COULD** be used to roll back a transaction.
    BUT... Redo is written sequentially. Using it to rollback your transaction would involve reading through all the redo written by maybe thousands of other people. It would be painfully slow.
    Your transaction is, however, directly linked to just the UNDO that it generates (which is JUST the before image of the data). So, your undo is your undo and doesn't share space with anyone else's undo. Therefore, using it to roll back YOUR transaction is fast.
    The fact that undo is only the before image of the data also makes it faster than wading through a sea of before and AFTER images as you'd find in redo. About twice as fast, in fact, since there's half the data. Roughly.
    Redo also gets written and flushed to disk whenever there's a commit, 3 seconds are up or too much (1MB, actually) redo gets generated between flushes caused by other factors. Your redo gets flushed when those things happen, even if you haven't actually committed your transaction. And redo logs recycle themselves, meaning that your redo -even if your transaction hasn't been committed yet- can be over-written by later transactions. Try rolling back when that's happened, if redo was the source of your rollback data!
    Undo, however, cannot be over-written if the transaction has not been committed. Ever. If you don't commit for three years, there will be three years' undo stored in your database (assuming you had the space, of course!).
    I could go on, but that will do. Redo is there fore RECOVERY, after catastrophe. Undo is there for read-consistency (and the occasional change of mind). Two different functions. Two different mechanisms. Each one highly tuned to doing what it does, why it does it, most efficiently and effectively.

  • Difference between .jar, .war and .ear file

    Hi,
    I am pretty new to J2EE technology.
    I would like to know what is the difference between .jar, .war and .ear files and how they are deployed on webserver.
    Thanks,

    Files with a .jar extension or JAR files, are essentially just a collection of files compressed using the ZIP/ZLIB compression format.
    JAR (short for Java Archive) files were introduced in the early days of Java as a means to conveniently package and distribute Java applications and components. Since then, a number of additions to the Java platform have followed suit. The introduction of the EAR file is one such addition.
    An EAR (Enterprise Archive) file is a JAR file that contains a J2EE application.
    A J2EE application is a group of Web modules that collectively perform as a single entity.
    A Web Module is an entity consisting of one or more resources such as HTML files, Java class files, XML files, etc. Web Modules are packaged in Web Archive (WAR) files.
    Looking at it from a top-down view, EAR files contain JAR files and WAR files. Packaging resources in WAR files, JAR files and eventually EAR files, makes it easy to reuse and reassemble components as new J2EE applications and distribute them to new environments.
    For example, Tomcat deals only with WAR files.
    So, in order to auto-deploy a Web application to a Tomcat environment, you must place an application's WAR file in the appropriate directory or use Tomcat's deployment tools to manually deploy the file.
    If you already have an EAR file that contains the WAR file, you can extract the WAR file and use it as is. If you do not have the EAR file or the WAR file, you can use any number of compliant tools to create the WAR file. Tomcat is a servlet/JSP container available from the jakarta.apache.org site.
