DTW batch import problem

Hi all,
I've got a problem when trying to batch import from sql statement via odbc:
"Can not connect to ODBC data source" and then "Can not get SQL handler"
Manual import is working well with this odbc connection !
The statement looks like: SELECT ItemCode AS 'Record Key', ItemCode, 'Y' AS 'Properties1' FROM OITM WHERE ItemCode = '4711'
While manually importing I saved the xml and after that call: dtw.exe -s config.xml
I used a SQL (Server 2005) Native Client DSN and only set db auth (sa...) and left other properties as default
Anybody knows this behavior? Is the statement wrong? Or the odbc connection?
(DTW Version 2005.0.0.29)
Thanks in advance
Marco

Hi Marco,
I checked this issue using the 2007A DTW (version 2005.0.30) and the 8.8 DTW (version 88.0.11). I haven't had success.
The 8.8 version runs without error but did'nt update my test item. If you run it manually, the DTW reports one updated value. If I run it by a command (DTW -S <File>) it runs fine and reports zero successful update.
I don't know if the DTW is able to run sceduled ODBC updates or not and would hope for an answer to this thread!
All the best

UME Batch Import problem

Hello,
I have a little strange problem. I created a importfile for users as described in the Administration Guide. I imported it and nothing happend. I tried lots of thing and found the reason.
In the imported passwords are special characters like * and so on. The only character which causes the bproblem is ] If I remove ] from the passwords it works.
Do you know why I can not batch import passwords which contain ] ?
Best regards Matthias

Hi Matthias,
In the current batch import implementation, '[' and ']' are not allowed in any input field (not only the password). This will be improved in the next releases.
Best regards,
Vladimir

DTW Legacy Import problem

One of our clients wants the previous two years of invoices and POs imported. DTW does not like to import closed documents.
We tried importing them as open documents and then closing them . This did not work out so well, as not all documents loaded correctly. Problems with returns and credit memos.
Has anybody else had to import legacy data like this?
Anybody have any ideas on how to import all the closed documents?

Bob,
There is no guess work for the user, you will have appropriate formatted searhes to search the invoices.
I am just suggessting whats best for you and the Client.
If you still are inclined to import everything in to the SAP table. Then you need to bring stock in and so all the transactions.
If you find any better way then please post it here

Batch import fails with more than about 250 photos

The batch-import problem (more than about 250) persists with Keynote 09.
I am disappointed because I know no alternative to Keynote to make superior slideshows (Text, moving graphics, opacity control etc.)
I have to import 550 slides to Keynote 09. The only way is to move seperated batches of 200 slides into the program. Other tries (e.g. 250 + 250 +50) fail. It does not matter wherefrom I import, either from iPhoto or Expression Media; the import from the finder is unusable because of losing the sorting-order.
I hoped so much ...
Can anyone (besides Apple) help?
Thank You!
Roland Muehlberger, Linz, Austria

This may not be the solution you're looking for but have you tried using iMovie to create your slideshow?
I can tell you that it's super simple using iMovie '08. Nice transitions, nice titling, Ken Burns, etc.. Very nice. The only thing you mention that I don't think iMovie can handle is the moving graphics thing (at least by just inserting them as in Keynote).

Problem with batch import and ReadAloud flag

We use the batch import to get our books into the Content Server. We have a couple of books where we want to allow the read-aloud feature. According to the manual setting the flag acs:RightReadAloud to -1 in the XML import file should take care of this but it doesn't work for us. I have tried setting the flag to -1 and 0 but the result is the same. Below is an excerpt from our XML file: <acs:PublishInfo> <acs:RightReadAloud>-1</acs:RightReadAloud> Any suggestions?

What version of ACS are you using and what process are you using? The following should work: - export the XML for the books you want to change - modify the XML tags for acs:RightReadAloud from 0 to -1 - make sure the values for the NotifcationType tags are set to 04 (update)--rather than 03 (replace) <Product> <NotificationType>03</NotificationType> - import the XML Do a new search for the books in ACS (to make sure you're seeing the new values) and check that the read aloud rights have changed. There is a problem in the importer which could cause an update like this to fail. See: http://support.adobe.com/devsup/devsup.nsf/docs/53803.htm

Import dtw batches

Hi,
I am a newbie (first implementation) and I need to implement a SKU reader in the warehouse. The SKU reader can provide me with a file that will be on a computer. I will need to read the file and process an import for PO and AR.
What are the basic fields for a batch import linked to a PO or an AR ( We manage batches in inventory on every transaction). Can I call the DTW via command line with params? Where do I find doc on DTW.
Are there better alternatives to the method described above (ie other ways to track batches then DTW).
Thanks

DTW invoice import - doctotal problem

I am trying to import purchase invoices through DTW, but having problem with the decimals. If I remove the decimals, the import goes fine, but the moment I put the decimals I get some error message. I have used "." as decimal separator, and 2 decimal places as configured in my company database.
I have also noticed this similar problem with importing goods issue with DTW.
Any ideas?
Thxx
Véronique

Véronique,
When importing Purchase documents, you need not fill the Doctotal. The DocTotal is automatically calculated by the System.
Only enter the quantity and price on the lines.
Probably there is document rounding set and thats why you are getting the error.

Aperture Video Import Problem - from Lumix GH4: Imported clips have their dates changed to the import date. The files show up on the hard drive but many are not showing up in Aperture.

Aperture Video Import Problem - from Lumix GH4: Imported clips have their dates changed to the import date. The files show up on the hard drive with import date not created date, but many of these same files are not showing up in Aperture. Sometimes the clips actually show up with the current import but take on the video information from a previously imported file.

It was suggested I move this question to IPhoto or IMovie which I did.
Well moving to a different discussion group did not provide an answer to this question either. But what I finally did was import one batch of photos and videos into IPhoto for a given day at a time. Working with these I could change the date and times in order to get them in the original sequench taken. Then I would create an album with that batch. These would all be on the same day (IMove was closed for this phase). Then I would open IMovie, generate the thumbnails for that album, and select the album I had created. This was necessary because the importing process in IPhoto was using incorrect dates for my video so it was a real struggle finding them in IMove until I developed this approach.
I believe that this whole process was so screwy because I was importing from an external hard drive not a camera. I had these photos on a PC and did not have the original cameras to use to import directly which I am fairly sure would have made this easier!

Microsoft Word:mac - Batch Import Photos from file

Hi,
I have recently upgraded to montain lion and the latest update to the office:mac 2011. I have noticed that my automator workflow is now no longer working. I created a workflow that allowed the batch importing of photos into a document. The workflow works if you run it from within automator but does not work from within word.
I have also noticed that the sample workflows now no longer work. Very strange. I did some searching on the internet and other people have posted these issues on forums but no one suggested a solution.
Anyone else having this problem?
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks
Adrian

You're very close to what needs to be done. Make sure that your new presentation is in a view that shows slide thumbnails (either Navigator or Light Table view). Then, when you select the photos, drag to the thumbnail area. This action will create a separate slide for each photo that was dragged and dropped in the thumbnail area.

How do I batch "import from catalog"?

Hi,
I would like to import multiple catalogs simultaneously into one catalog.
The thing is that I lost my main catalog in a hard-drive failure and my last backup is too old. Fortunately I always "export a folder as catalog" into the original pictures folder, so I always keep starring, color editing, etc.
What I would like to do now is to import each of these litle catalogs into one new main one, without having to import each at a time, but all simultaneously, which would save me an enormous amount of time.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks a lot in advance
Luís

Thanks for you answer Jim,
I always export each folder as catalog because I keep the originals in a shared network folder, so a coworker can import them over to his main catalog. I don't want him to make changes but just to know which are the starred/labeled ones, and export them with my color/etc editing.
I think this is not possible with a main shared catalog, because it's impossible to open them from a shared network folder.
I always use a main catalogue, the problem was really my lack of backup regularly. It would be great if LR give us the possibility of batch import from all those catalogs. "taking the time to import from each of those catalogs" as you say, will be really time-consuming...
Thanks again

Batch import of eps equations into indesign

Hi, I am Thangaraj Mohan, working as an layout artist. Now I am working on a Math book which has tones of equations in it. The whole text keyed in MS word, and the equations are typed inside using mathtype. I exported all equations using mathtype, mathtype exports all equations and replaces with its file name (ie. <<equ001>>) in MS word.
Now my problem is to how place these equations inside the InDesign document. Please help me with your ideas to import all eps files into InDesign as Batch import.
Thanks a lot.

hi
you don't need to export Equations as EPS file s- you can jest Copy and Paste or Place your document - all Equations will be imported as embeded graphics - with bad preview - but with Vector contents so they will print fine
if you really need to reimport EPS files - then you need macro to surround Equations with tags which then can be used by script to place EPS files
from:
9.1 a) ### b) ### c) ### d) ###
to:
9.1 a) <EQ1<###>EQ1> b) <EQ2<###>EQ2> c) <EQ3<###>EQ3> d) <EQ4<###>EQ4>
but this will require that you will have only equations - no other images - or you will need to renumber-rename files

Batch importing tga still images into iMovie HD 6

I need to import a whole series of still images that are stored as *.tga files so I can edit them together, frame by frame, into a moving sequence. I have tried importing them into my iMove HD and I get a 5 second frame that is red.
My questions are this:
1) How do I batch import all the stills into iMovie
2) How do I ensure each still that is imported runs for only 1 frame as opposed to the default 5 seconds? (I can't seem to find how to change the duration of all stills that are imported anywhere and the idea of editing each of the hundreds of images I need to import to run only 1 frame doesn't seem like the easiest way of working
3) How do I ensure my iMove HD can play the still instead of showing the still covered in a red colour wash?
Thanks!
Chris

Hi, I realize this is a little late, but a few days ago I found this link.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304895
Basically, you just have to make sure your images are in either JPEG or TIFF format. I converted my BMP photos to JPEG and the problem was solved.

LR3.2 import problem on computer with Windows OS

LR3.2 import problem on Windows OS
This is a continuation of a question that I posed on August 22, 2010 in the discussion string "Cannot import CR2". I have not been able to resolve the issue of importing an image into an existing folder location. I had not been able to work on this issue for a number of weeks due to other circumstances, until today.   Note that the following people had attempted to provide answers and suggestions already: ssprengel, JayS In CT.
I use a laptop with a Windows operating system and a Macintosh desktop with Snow Leopard. I run Lightroom on both of them. The Windows laptop has Windows Vista Home service pack 2, version 6.0 [6002]. Around August 12th I upgraded from Lightroom 2 [481478], to Lightroom 3 on the laptop. I left the LR2 on the laptop as well as LR3. On September 12th I upgraded the laptop to LR3.2. No other changes have been to the laptop or its software applications that I know of.
My current attempts at resolving the issue reveal that when I created a new catalog "Test Catalog" in LR3 and saved that catalog to my desktop new folder labeled "Test Catalog" that I can import an image into LR3.2 to a new folder on the laptop's desktop. I then deleted the images via LR3.2 Folders Remove function and tried to import the images into an existing folder as presented in the LR3.2 Import dialog, but get the error message "The following files were not imported because they could not be read.".   When I import images into a new folder placed on the desktop, I can use all functions in LR3 e.g. Develop module. I cannot import images into existing folders on the laptop's hard drive - I have tried importing into the entire existing folders in the following hierarchy: c:\users\Michael\My Documents\My Pictures\2010 but always get the same error message.
LR3.2 does correctly backups upon exiting each time I quit the program, so I know that there isn't any issue of writing to that backup folder which is contained in an upper folder that contains the lightroom catalogs. I have even created a new Word file, saved it into the folder with Lightroom catalogs, opened it up, modified it, saved it, and saw that it works OK, so that tells me there is no problem with a Read-Only folder attribute.
I cannot recall if upon the upgrade from LR2.6 to LR3 that I chose to upgrade the catalog to LR3 version. Would that matter, if yes, what do I verify, how do I manual upgrade the catalog.
History of actions between August 10th that I have taken follows between the [[[[ and ]]]]:
[[[[Preference settings for Default Catalog are set to start with a specific catalog that I call "Lightroom master catalog", it is not set to the "Load most recent catalog".
All of the following were using my laptop: Previously I had no problem with LR2 for any functions. I just purchased an Epson 7000 media storage device, and in early August and practiced importing images into LR2, and those images were pulled in OK. Next, I upgraded to LR3. I discovered that the Epson's images had been placed into a wrong folder when I opened LR3. I used the remapping function in LR3 to move the images into the correct folder. Next, I used a SanDisk card reader to import images into LR3 into an existing folder of images, but the following error message appeared "the following files were not imported because they could not be read" (Import Results said 'some import operations were not performed'). I tried importing a single image, and multiple images, but had the same error. I tried switching the card reader to each of 4 different USB port on the laptop, with the same error occurring on each USB port used.
In order to try to isolate the problem. I took the SanDisk card reader with the memory card and successfully imported the images into LR3 on my Macintosh desktop computer; so to me the problem is not the card reader or the memory card. I also used the SanDisk recovery disk while using my laptop to look at the files on the memory card and I could see all the images correctly while in the recovery program, but I have not copied the images to the laptop's hard disk, and have not tried an import into the laptop's LR3. I did not import images directly from my camera to the laptop LR3 since I did not think it would help with the troubleshooting.
I then ran the Repair from the Adobe LR3 CD upgrade disk, on my laptop. Then I tried doing the import using the SanDisk reader and memory card, but the same problem occurred and same error message, that the files could not be imported (I was trying to import into a folder of existing images). I then used the Laptop's Control Panel function to remove LR3 application. Then I did a fresh upgrade of LR3 on my laptop, but the same error message and I am unable to do any import of the memory card from the card reader. I then tried to do an image import from the Epson 7000 into the laptop, and the same error message and I am unable to do any import into a folder with existing images.   I then tried doing an image import into LR2 on the laptop, and got the same problem to occur when trying to import into an existing folder of images. I have a couple of Canon EOS SLR digital cameras, and the issue occurs for any of the file types of the cameras.
Went into LR3 Preferences, General Tab, I now checked the previously unchecked box for Import Options - "Show import dialog when a memory card is detected".
Connected the Canon XTi directly with a cable to the laptop computer. Note that Canon's information said that Picture Transfer Protocol is automatically used when the XTi is directly connected to a computer, so I did not need to change anything in the camera's menu for communications choices (there is no communication menu in fact). I selected one image and copied it to the laptop desktop. Tried to import it into LR3 into a folder of existing images but got the error message "Could not copy a file to the requested location." While in LR3, I changed the location of where the file would be copied into - any of my existing folders of images; tried 5 different folders, but kept getting the same error message.
With the card reader connected via USB port on the laptop, I copied one image file to the desktop, and then tried importing into LR3 into a folder of existing images. Got the error message "Could not copy a file to the requested location."]]]]

I am not clear if by 'import' you are trying to copy or move the files from a location to another or if you are adding the files to a catalog. My comments may not, therefore, be too helpful.
Firstly, with both LR2 and LR3 installed you will have both catalogs present, but if you try to open the LR2 catalog with LR3 you will be prompted to update the catalog. You will thus know which catalog you are working on.
Secondly, if you are reading direct from the camera, you should connect using the 'PC connection' mode.
Thirdly, there is an issue with reading .CR2 files directly from the early Canon DSLRs (in Europe named 300D, 350D, 400D). While they are visible with the Canon software, they can not be seen with Windows explorer nor can they be accessed with Lightroom.
I suggest that you take the CF card out of the camera and copy the files using Windows Explorer in to the destination folder. You are then sure that the files are on the PC.
If you have the right Codec installed, you can view them with Windows photo gallery; if you don't, you can use one of the Canon software packages to view the files. You are then sure that the files are not corrupted.
Then import the files to your LR catalog using the normal import routine selecting 'add without moving'. I have tried this routine successfully using my 350D using both LR1.x and LR3.x. If that doesn't work - I'm lost.

On windows 8 and itunes I have importing problems the DVD is only reading the music cd from 1.5x to 4.0x for 95% of the time, it does hit speeds of 30x for the other 5% of the time. Is it a driver issue with the DVD or is it a windows 8 issue?

No. You have no alternative but to plug it into a computer running iTunes and restore it.

Final Cut Pro/GY-HD111E import problems?

Final Cut Pro/GY-HD111E import problems?
With a brand new Mac Pro and very latest Final Cut Studio complete with updates I'm having a little problem trying to import footage directly from a JVC GY-HD111E (yes I'm in PAL land, UK) via FireWire into FCP.
Footage is 720p/25p and timeline is set up in FCP that way.
I'm doing a 'capture now'. The first clip I'm trying to import is about 45 minutes long with no cuts/breaks whatsoever.
What happens is after about 60 seconds or so, it FCP automatically breaks the clip for no reason and starts a new one, trouble is, when it does this I lose about 4 seconds of footage at that point.
It continues to break clips randomly, sometimes after 40 seconds or so, sometimes after 95 seconds, but usually between 30 seconds and 2 minutes and each time it starts a new clip I lose between 1 and 6 seconds.
As I say, there are zero breaks or cuts in this clip, I have a 45 minute clip that was shot in one take, not even a pause anywhere.
Is this a JVC issue or a Final Cut issue?
It's a pain as it simply means I can't import my 9 hours of footage hence I can't get on with this project.
Any ideas why this phenomenon is happening?
Thanks guys.

I mean I get the same errors.
Let me explain again.
There are NO start/stop/pauses in this clip.
I'm trying to import just ONE clip with no breaks, again, there are NO start/stop/pause, it is one continuous clip of 15 minutes duration.
The JVC creates some sort of errors at the Firewire output stage, it drops frames or other errors, FCP gets confused and creates a new clip, even though it is the same clip, but due to the GoP structure, it looses a few seconds too hence I can't import the footage as I keep loosing bits here and there mid clip. It is randam, every 30 to 100 seconds or so it will do this.
