Drop objects before import?

I've read an unofficial article stating that whenever you do subsequent imports on the same database, one should drop existing objects in order not to produce duplicate data. Is this valid also when one passes the 'ignore = yes' argument to the 'imp' command?
Also, I would like to know how to import/export everything except the system tablespace. Is this possible to do in a simple step? Bear in mind that i want to do regular imports on the same database to fake a sync between two databases.

one should drop existing objects in order not to produce duplicate data. Is this valid also when one passes the 'ignore = yes' argument to the 'imp' command?when you are importing, oracle first executes ddl, like creating the object, if it found, then says already exists and then skips to the next step of import. If you say ignore=y, then, it wont display error message. Thats it.
Bear in mind that i want to do regular imports on the same database to fake a sync between two databases. incremental exports you can do it, but, not a great idea to do so. For this, you can use replication rather.

Conditional drop down before import

Hi,
I am new to FDM scripting so mybe i can find the help i need here.
I created a script to import data from a sql source and so far it is all fine.
Now the source might be big in some cases and I would like to be able to provide a pre-selection to the users.
i.e: instead of loading all accounts, the user could pick up 1,2 or more accounts.
is this feasible? any example would be great.

Depending on how far down the rabbit hole you want to go, you could do a drop down or a check box with javascript/ajax.
I'm not 100% sure I'm following how you want this to function, though.
If you want to add something to one of the FDM pages, you are somewhat limited, as the ASPX file will allow you to change the layout of the page; however, you will not have any capability to change the back end functinality of the page directly. Because of this, even if you add your drop down to the U/I and dynamically load the options to it via AJAX, you may not be able to reference the user selection from the FDM scripts directly since the page's code behind is already compiled into a DLL and it will not have any knowledge of the new control you added.
A possibility; however, would be to once again use Javascript (and supporting technologies) to push the selected value into a database table in a way that you could then retrieve the selection through the FDM scripts that you can modify. (i.e. capture the onsubmit event in javascript and then push the selectedvalue of the drop down to a database table with some other identifying piece of information such as username, location, etc.)
(NOTE: You'd also want to traip onsubmit as well to verify that they made a selection from your drop down so that you could cancel the server post back if they didn't bother to make their selection... if (selectedIndex<0) {window.alert('You must select an Import Method before continuing!'); return(false);} .....)

Should I spend many hours in Illustrator puting objects on many separate layers before importing?

Very complex overlapping of objects in this project. My adobe Illustrator art has many hundreds of objects on only about 5 layers. When I imported into Flash I can only get to individual objects by breaking apart the layers. The art is very complicated, interlacing of two human figures I didn't design but I copied from ancient 500BC Greek pottery art for an historical film I'm making.
I labeled every object in Illustrator but apparently loose that while importing into Flash. Should I spend hours more in Illustrator putting everything on separate layers that needs to be used in separate layers for overlapping before importing to Flash? Objects in Illustrator automatically appear on a separate line but I guess that is not the same as a separate layer when you import into Flash, right? I am concerned as to how I will be able to make some of these limbs or clothing with all the objects associated with them be moved into just one layer for the overlapping of these things is very complex and I am certain it will take forever to figure out how to rearrange for proper overlapping order if I make a lot more layers, if it is even possible without a work around in some cases. Frankly I am having difficulty with the concepts of objects in Flash vs how layers work in software like Photoshop. MAC OSX FLASH CS6.

Look closely at your import settings when you import your AI file. Unless you flatten the illustrator layers into bitmaps, none of the objects will be lost. If you double-click what seems to be one object in Flash, you will find that all the component parts are still in there.
However, keeping things organized with layers is good practice in Illustrator, whether or not you're using the product in Flash, so it might be a good practice to cultivate longer term.

Why are video frames dropping out on import to FCP 10.2? Clips play back fine before import.

Having trouble with video frame dropout after importing to Final Cut Pro 10.2. Clips play back fine before import. I have an iMac with OS X Yosemite 10.10.13. Tried rejecting clips and reimporting to no avail. I'm also not the world's brightest techno editor.

Hi Russ,
Now you’ll know how really dumb I am! I have the libraries and media stored on 3 external drives, although FCP app lives on the hard drive. I accessed the project from one of the drives. Then also tried accessing it from the program on the HD. The media is AVCHD from a Panasonic AG/AC 160 camera, shot at 60 fps. I deleted the files, but haven’t had a chance yet to re-import as both opt. and proxy. Other clips, imported before upgrade, are fine.
I have an iMac mid 2011; Processor 2.5 GHz, Intel Core i5. Two of the drives are 1 tb and the 3rd is 4Tb
thanks,

Database copy dropped objects in source schema

I was seeking out a quick way to copy an entire schema from one db to another and I was happy when I found the "database copy" feature. I checked the documentation and found that all I needed to do was select the source connection, the target connection, and choose either create, truncate, or drop objects. Well I had some objects in the source db from a previous failed attempt at copying all the objects via script. To remedy that the drop objects option, according to the documentation " Drops any existing table with the same name, and then creates and loads it from the source." Ok, great. The summary shows up with a bunch of entries which I didn't pay too much attention too. Fine, continue...running....progress...so far so good..and the log shows up. I see drops, I see moving data, and I see a whole bunch of errors with no useful information with them. Check the target schema...nothings there, all objects are dropped. Ok, lets have a look at the source and see whats going on. Refresh tables...nothing...refresh...refresh...nothing. The source schema has all its objects GONE too! One lonely type is saved in the source schema, that's it. Am I a total moron and misinterpreting how database copy works? Can anyone shed some light on this? Anyway to recover my source objects? As the source db is not production I am out of luck as there is no recent backup.
Source: 9i
Target: 11g
sql developer v 2.1.1.64.45
-j

OK the problem was that my target connection was inadvertently pointing to the source. It was set properly before but stuff went bad and i switched the connection from TNS to basic, then back to TNS. Apparently when switching back to TNS the wrong entry was selected. Not sure if I chose it or it was selected from a different connection. In any case, very stupid of me.
thanks K.

Transport Management: Syntax Pre-Check before Importing

Hello experts,
Today we imported a new transport in the productive system; after import we got syntax errors in the system. The transported report includes a function call; this function module does not yet exist in the productive system; other transport including the function module was not yet imported in the productive system.
Using SE09 we can determine conflicts in different transports, however it is not possible to determine missing objects called from other objects (such as calling of function module).
Is there any possibility to do a syntax pre-check (or type of simulation) of objects in target system before importing the object?
Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards,
Kurt

Hello Vikas,
Thank you for your reply.
Before releasing the transport we do all checks, such as syntax-check, consistency and for inactive objects.
This is not the issue; what I need is a check against the target system (Productive system).
Development system --> Quality system --> Productive system.
Before importing the transport I will check, if there any object called in my report/program, that is not yet existing in the productive system.
Thank you & best regards,
Kurt

Show content of SP content for XI before import

Hi,
I would know if there is some way to know message types, mappings and other objects of one Support Package XI Content for an add-on before import it into the repository?
If I try to open the file with notepad I can see the name of the objects, but the rest are rare characters.
Thanks in advance,
Fernando

Premiere Pro CC v8.1, Caravan drops audio on import

I have updated PP CC to 8.1, Caravan - and the first project I opened had to be updated of course.
That done - a .mov clip with audio on it that was playing perfectly PRIOR to the update has no audio attached to it - and when imported - the uadio is not imported.
1. The clip plays in VLC with audio - when opened from windows explorer.
2. The original clip that did play with audio in the previous version of PP was not changed in any way.
3. After importing successive copies - there is never any audio attached now.
Any ideas what's changed to make a previously fine clip - lose it's audio in the latest PP?
Thanks
Dave

Hey KMueller - neat thinking.
Before reporting - I did try the drag / drop, then the import, then the media browser options and they all ended up the same.
Using your idea, I just straight forward made a copy / paste of the file in the folder it sits in, then dragged that over and hey presto - it came in with audio...
The icon representing the original file says video only still - but the icon representing the "copy" of the same file has a video & audio icon - and it plays ball on the timeline.
Thanks
Dave

Hidden / Locked Layer Drop Object Keeps Selection (BUG)

For the past several versions of Illustrator (from CS5 through CC) this has been a HUGE problem:
Whenever I turn off the visibility of a layer (and/or lock it), and I drag a selected object from a visible and editable layer and drop it into/onto the locked &/ hidden layer, the dropped selected object remains selected although I can no longer see or edit it. The bounding box remains obscuring my work flow and prevents various boolean operations to be done on newly selected objects on editable/visible layers.
Whenever a selected object is dropped onto a locked &/ hidden layer that selection MUST ALSO BE DROPPED. Before CS5, to my recollection, this was the case and worked as expected. But from CS5 onward, this logical and intuitive workflow fails. So what I am forced to do is I have to changed the layer back to visible and editable, click somewhere off of any object to deselect, then return the layer to a locked &/ hidden state. Now when I am working with hundreds, if not thousands, of objects that I have to sort and process using layers to manage them, this having to toggle ON, deselect, then toggle OFF to get back to work is hellish at best.
No object on a hidden or locked layer should ever maintain its selection state --- EVER --- no matter how that object got onto that layer. Any selection is worthless if it cannot be seen. Any selection is worthless if it is locked. Therefore, drop the selection state when a selection was dropped onto a locked &/ hidden layer.
This has to change. This issue alone accounts for adding over 20% to my cost in hours spent on complex projects where thousands of objects need to be managed. Such complex projects account for 75% of my workload. So this issue costs me dearly.
STATS: Illustrator CC on iMac Mountain Lion w 8GB RAM.

No. They were both top-level layers during my latest attempt that finally worked. In response to your post just now, I tried doing it with sublayers. And with sublayers the problem re-emerged. I necessarily have multiple levels of sublayers to manage my assets, so I guess that's why it has failed for so long, but my earlier test (sans sublayers) worked. So it must be the sublayers that cause the issue.
When the problem happens boolean operations just fail to do anything, and trying to move an existing editable-layer object with a non-released object causes an outright crash.
So this is definitely a bug that needs fixing.

Cannot drag and drop objects

I starting having an issue with dragging/dropping objects on my screen a few days ago with my Macbook Pro. Say, for instance, there is a document on my desktop that I want to move to another location on my desktop or to a folder...when I left click on the document, a ghost of it appears on my cursor...I can move it around, but I cannot drop it. It takes several hits of the ESC key and clicks of the left mouse button to return the cursor to it's normal state, which also causes the ghost of the object to rush back to the original object icon instead of where I want to drag it. It does not matter if I use the touch pad on the laptop, my wireless house, or my wired mouse, which tells me it is a system issue and not a hardware issue. I am using 10.6.8. I have not voluntarily changed any mouse or desktop settings at all. I also noticed that when I move my cursor to the top left corner, it does not put the computer in a screensaver mode as I have it set up to do. I checked the screen settings and it is still set up to go to the screensaver when I move the cursor to that location. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Dynamically assign value to bind variable in a view object before pageload

I found that it is extreamely hard to find an example to assign the bind variable in View object at runtime using a data attribute defined in Human task activity. Most of the available samples use a Literal value to do the assignment. In my case, I want to dynamically display the content by assigning the data attribute in Human task to the bind variable in view object before a pageload.
I do not want to bind the view object to some command component to click a button or link in order to make it work (Unnecessary components in my page).
The issue is how to access the data attribute in Human task in the java code of client interface in AppModule? or is there a way that I can access the data attribute in Groovy script expression of the bind variable? or if I can access the process data object defined in my BPM process to do the assignment at runtime?
Really need help on the issue, and I cannot believe that it is so hard to accomplish.
Thank you very much,

Since I have downloaded IOS5 on my IPAD and synced to my IMac, Safari keeps dropping off before downloading the website, is slow, also an icon which accessed open safari windows is no longer available. Apps trouble too. Help?

Since I have downloaded IOS5 on my IPAD2 and synced to my IMac, Safari keeps dropping off before site is downloaded and is slow. There was an icon that showed how many windows were open on Safari and when pressed displayed them, that has disappeared and apps do not always download. Sometimes by making several/many attempts, it eventually downloads the website or app, but this is not right. When trying to dowload any lonks from an email, they simply do not open, it keeps going back to the home screen. Does anybody have any suggestions? I only bought the IPAD 2 in June!

Also the touch screen does not seem to be responding adequately. Thank you for any help you can give.

Do I need to compress video before importing into DVD SP?

Hello,
this is probably stupid question, but I would like to know, if I need to compress my video before I import it into DVD SP as an asset. It looks like everyone use Compressor before importing into DVD SP, (setting up number of passes, bit rates and so on), and then they do it again when setting up preferences in DVD SP. (setting 1 pass or 2passes, bit rate values)
So is not the video actually compressed twice? Once in Compressor and once in DVD SP?
And also, what video formats are actually OK to import into DVD SP? (QT, AVI, FCP movie, etc)
Does DVD SP take them all, or does it only have to be QT?
Thank you and I appologize for these novice questions.

m2v will not be recompressed when placed on tracks (though in some instances it may recompress on menus.) Ultimately it is better to compress outside of DVD SP for control of encodes (and making AC3 files) and also some formats may not be supported by importing into DVD SP directly.
