Endeca data export - Single catalog only

With ATG 10.1.2, is there a way to configure the Endeca data export / Baseline Index process (as run from the ProductCatalogSimpleIndexingAdmin component in dyn admin) to generate data for products and categories in a particular catalog only, instead of for all catalogs?
Thanks!

cmore, thank you, that's very helpful!
I was looking into this question as a possible solution to an issue where when running the baseline import process as part of the ATG-Endeca integration to upload data from ATG to Endeca, catalog data was not being generated properly, and I was suspicious that part of the problem might be that my application has multiple catalogs.
The problem turned out to be due to a missing default catalog configuration for my application's site, as described in my posts in this thread: Re: Baseline Index error (invoking from ProductCatalogSimpleIndexingAdmin)
Since CategoryToDimensionOutputConfig doesn't have a value for the repositoryItemGroup property by default, and it looks like it would be a bit of work to get that set up properly and I no longer have a pressing need to do that, I'm setting this task aside for the time being. cmore, I appreciate your help regardless, though, since this information may be useful to myself or to others in the future. (I'll go ahead and mark your post as the solution.)
Thanks,

Keywords - Export as Catalog Exports Only Some

I have a fairly large hierarchical keyword list in my main catalog. When I "Export as Catalog ..." some of the photographs in my main catalog, only the keywords attached to the exported images are exported. How do I force Lr to export the whole hierarchical keyword list ?
Why isn't there a an option to ask Lr to do this, like there is one to tell Lr to "Export negative files" ?
Cheers !

I believe you have to export the keywords (a routine in LR) to a text file and import them on the new machine you are taking the partial catalog over to. It is not exactly what you are hoping for but will get you there.

Correct procedure to export/import catalog

I took photos on my vacation and imported them into Lightroom 4 on my laptop. The RAW files are separated by Date folders. I have edited many of them and saved the resulting jpgs in a separate folder called jpg exports, as a subfolder in each date folder.
I have selected each of the date folders and the jpg export folders and selected "Export as a Catalog"
From that window, I have selected my external drive, created a file name Caribbean, deselected "Export Selected Photos only" as I want all of the photos I selected.
Export Negative files and Include Available Previews is selected.
The Catalog Export starts.
That process is underway as I type.
When I did this process in the past, my next step was to plug my external into my desktop, launch Lightroom 4 and import the catalog off of the external drive. When I did this before, the RAW files by date showed up in Lightroom, but each of the jpg folder didn't transfer.
What am I doing wrong or is it not possible to transfer the jpg edits over as part of the catalog?

"Import from Catalog" will only pay attention to images which are directly represented in the Catalog you have selected - which show a thumbnail there.
The fact that your JPG exports may be physically located inside the same folders as the Raw files that you have imported, or elsewhere, has no relevance here. If when you exported these JPGs, you selected the "import to Catalog" option then they will be represented in the Catalog and will therefore be included... but unless you actively want to see these exports next to the raw based images, in LR, with all the potential for confusion that brings - I am not going to suggest that as a good idea.
It is not necessary to first "Export as Catalog". You can directly put the Catalog you have already made, or a copy of that, onto the external drive. Also you can directly move (probably, Copy is safer) all the image folders bodily onto this external drive. These things can be done in your standard file browser (Finder / Explorer), when Lightroom is not running on the laptop.
Then you can connect your external drive to the Desktop, and start your main LR Catalog there. You can "import from catalog" (merge) all the images thumbnails, with their settings and metadata etc, into the desktop's LR catalog. All the images that you saw in the laptop, will now appear in the desktop too. If you only imported the Raws before, that is all you will see now.
The physical addressing information for each Raw file, as when originally imported, will also be transferred along with the other metadata.
So at this point the image thumbnails you have merged into your desktop catalog appear "offline" - the stored addressing they have, currently does not work in its new context. There will be a whole tree of date-based folders listed, corresponding to how things looked within the laptop, but at the moment showing "not found" so far as the desktop is concerned. This is OK - easily fixable.
You next need to decide where you want these image folders from the trip, to be located long-term. Transfer them bodily into that location (using Finder / Explorer). This should (in one go) include all the Raw files and the prior JPG exports, keeping the relative arrangement and naming of all these folders and subfolders intact.
Then in the Folders list of your desktop Catalog, you can right-click on the highest-level folder which is currently marked as "not found" with a ? icon. Then re-browse that to the new location where you have just put the transferred image folders. LR can then in one operation, not only update the file location information it holds for that folder, but also for all known contents of that folder - which means, all the imported images inside, and their containing subfolder "tree" - the whole trip. This will make all the transferred images from that trip "wake up again", and no longer be offline. You can now carry on editing them just as you did on the laptop.
If you have used a structured date-folder arrangement (such as, one of the automatic ones LR provides) in a 100% consistent manner when working on the desktop and when working on the laptop, your images from the trip can merge seamlessly into your main library.

On update to 13.1, my catalog only shows what was on the camera that was connected. Where did the rest of my (thousands of) pictures go?

After installing an upgrade from Elements 11 (it would no longer open, even with uninstall and re-installation) to Elements 13, everything was working great. Today I did an update to Elements 13.1, and all that appears in mu catalog are pictures from the camera that was connected at the time of the update. Because I have a small-ish SSD for my OS (Windows 7), the program is installed on the E drive. The Catalog Manager shows only a single catalog, but I have no idea where it is located, nor where to begin to look for an older catalog file that might be somewhere else. How do I find and recover my old catalog file?

I found the catalog file in my C drive (207mb) with a modified date of today. Can I move the file to another drive? The fact that it is 207mb would indicate that everything should be there- correct? I have 200+ gigs of pictures and 800+ gigs of video.
That seems to be the right folder. You can move or copy the whole folder elsewhere and use the catalog manager to browse to the new location. Alternatively, once the new catalog is moved, you can open the Organizer with it by double clicking on the 'catalog.pse13db' file.
Is there something that changed in the view options to where I am having trouble selecting a "view all" option? All of the folders are listed in the folder view, but my "people" view is now blank. How do I get all folders to be viewed in the "all media" section instead of just my last import?
I have no clue about the 'people' view (I don't use it). By default, only the last import batch is shown. You have a 'sort order' menu on the left of the third line. Choose another sort order. If you are not shown 'All media', you should have a button (arrow shape pointing to the left) on the left of the third line.

Export PDF converts ONLY PART of PDF to excel - first table skipped, second table OK

A single PDF contains two tables (income and expense) but Export PDF converts ONLY the second table and completely ignores the first table. (The two tables may actually be parts of one larger table, but in that case it is the first part which is ignored.)

Hi dgoldh,
Do you know how the PDF was created? (Choose File > Properties, and check the Description tab. It may be that the PDF was created by a third-party application and doesn't contain the proper data to ensure a clean conversion. Please see Will Adobe ExportPDF convert both text and form... | Adobe Community.

LR4: Issues with "Export as Catalog"

I'm preparing my Windows LR 4.2 installation for a significant computer rebuild. Naturally I need to be able to 'save/restore' all my catalogs, some of which are not small. Having copies of his LR2 and LR4 books for Digital Photographers, I followed the technique recommended by Scott Kelby (which is also the subject of an FAQ on this forum). Aside from the assertation that it doesn't take long (for me, it did) the export of previews, database and negatives from all folders in each catalog, to a USB attached disk, worked ok. Except that...
1. In trying to understand why it was so slow I looked at the structure of the exported 'file' for my largest catalog on the external drive. It seemed to be a simple copy of the .lrdata set of many preview folders plus the .lrcat folder plus the original negatives in their original folder structure. Before attempting to prove this is the case, by repeating this process using Windows Explorer file utilties, I decided to compare the original files/folders with the copies that 'export as catalog' had made. I used 'Beyond Compare' for this (a product which, in my opinion, is exactly that: beyond compare). The results were very disconcerting:
1.1 Out of the hundreds of preview folders, in the .lrdata collection, there was not 1 single identical compare of combined folder and file in the copy. There were folders in the original which did not appear in the copy. Even worse, there were folders in the copy that did not appear in the original (explain that!). In those very few cases where there was a folder match, the enclosed .lrprev file did not match in either file name or file size. In other words the original and copy were completely different.
Is this as one should expect?
1.2 Overall the original .lrcat and .lrdata objects differed in size and date/time to the copy, with the originals being larger and dated/timed later than the copy, even though I had performed no library or development operation on the catalog, aside from closing it (which initated an automatic backup). What additional information has been added to the catalog after I copied it, and by whom?
2. On one catalog the export process repored that it could find no preview data for any of the photos, even though it shows them to me when I open the catalog. In addition, the original .lrdata folder is far larger than the exported copy of that folder - 599MB versus 3MB. So the preview data is definitely there in the originals. Why wasn't it exported?
Overall, the comparison using Beyond Compare suggests to me that a simple file copy of the catalogs and images should work - and it will certainly ensure that originals and copies are identical. Can this process be used to ensure that a valid catalog set will be produced for the subsequent 'restore' step?

Yes, you can simply copy the whole lot and it will function the same in the new location, provided the same image files (or equivalent copies thereof) are available to the Catalog at the same filepaths in both places. I believe the previews are found using a relative filepath starting from wherever the Catalog now finds itself. So the relative arrangement needs to be preserved. Or, if previews are not copied over, the Catalog still works fine, and will generate previews automatically as you go thereafter.
It may not be necessary to have Develop previews for every single image in the Library right at the start - remembering that previews for less recently edited images will have by default cleared themselves anyway, after a certain period.
If the image filepaths are going to be different in some systematic way - different drive letter, different folder location - then it is easy to update LR's internal records about that; for example, through a single operation on the parent folder, one can re-address an entire tree of subfolders and their contents at the same time.
As a database, one would expect a fresh copy written-out by Export to be optimised in terms of how the data is stored (disk block level) and also that it would be free of any accumulated redundancy (e.g., records and related indexing for items that are marked for deletion but still physically present). Perhaps this would be exactly the same as a database that had just been optimised by LR, perhaps not - the point of Export as Catalog is that this is NOT a whole-database operation, it is a SELECTIVE operation, based on whatever images have been highlighted. So the result is not necessarily ever going to be identical.
The previews folders are not intended to be human-readable, and can IMO be therefore thought of in the same functional terms - this effectively constitutes a second database. When previews are included in an Export, this is a second brand new structure being created, even if some of the data within that is a straight transfer.

Deski Report data exporting limit

Hello Experts,
We are using SAP BOXI R3 deski reports and we need to export 80K plus rows in excel format. while exporting it is not allowing us to export the whole data and giving error as "File not loaded completly".
this is happening after exporting 65536 rows, as per understanding it could be due to limit of MS Excel 2003, but while exporting the same report with MS Excel 2007 & 2010 we are getting same error, and while exporting we and not getting option of saving in .xlsx format
Any help on this highly appericiated, Thanks.
Best !

Hello Mark,
Many thanks for your responce here !
We have a user need to export this report in excel only. The only work around we could see is by putting filter.
But this doesn't serve our purpose while we exporting the whole data in single excel

Bulk data export

Hi,
Our users need export large data based on ambiguous attribute queries. For example, export emails of customers to send promotions. This kind of usage cannot build with dimensional model. I find Endeca is a good tools for our scenario. The only question is whether Endeca supports large data export.
Thanks

Cheney,
EID Studio has components like the results table or results list that support record export. You can read more about this functionality in the StudioUsersGuide found here: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E29805_01/StudioUsersGuide.pdf
It is important to understand what specific volumes are expected for your "large data exports". Studio has safeguards which control maximum allowable export sizes, both in terms of endeca records (for results tables showing raw endeca records and analytic recoreds (for results tables employing EQL to aggregrate the endeca records to the grain of some other entity). These safeguard limits can be found in the "Framework Settings" section of the Studio control panel. Relaxing these defaults to allow for larger export sizes can put extreme memory and CPU load on both Studio and the Endeca Server, so it is important to understand the performance implications of this approach.
Thanks,
Dan

Moving LR5 catalog (Irdata & Ircat) to a new hard drive and photos. Lost all meta data - How do I move meta data along with catalog?

I moved LR5 catalog (Irdata & Ircat) to a new hard drive and photos. Lost all meta data - How do I move meta data along with catalog?
The meta data for each image is missing.
I have over 2,000 images. I don't want to go back through each image and add meta data.
Is there some way to move everything?

No, do not re-import your images. I assume you can see the thumbnails in the library module, just cannot access the full images, right? If this is the case there should be an exclamation mark in the top right corner of every one of your pictures and you only have to tell LR where the images are now.
Click the exclamation mark of one of the images and a dialog window should pop-up, telling you that LR cannot find the file, but with an option to locate it. Press "Locate" and navigate to the folder on your new HD where the file is. If in the new external HD you kept the same folder structure that you had on the internal disk, LR will be able to find all your images and re-link them to the database without further intervention.

Please give me idea now I compile all branch data in head office only new r

Hi master
Sir I have 5 office In different city and one head office in Karachi all branch have same oracle system my question is how I get new data and compile for accumulative reporting
I want only new record and modify record not old record
Old record already I import
When I use oracle import and export tool that no give me right result
If xxx table exists in database then import tool not replace and no insert or no replace with previous data with new modify data
Such as
First time
V_no=897 have debit amount 3998 is Islamabad branch and i export form Islamabad and import in Karachi office
Next time
Islamabad office change v_no=897 debit amount with 76555 and add many new record
I export form Islamabad and import in Karachi office but system no change and not add new record in Karachi office
Please give me idea now I compile all branch data in head office only new record and modify record
Thanks

Here a very simple example with table EMP, assuming source table has a primary key. Firstly you create a materialized view log on source table (necessary for fast refresh) :
SYS@db102 SQL> conn test/test
Connected.
TEST@db102 SQL> create materialized view log on emp including new values;
Materialized view log created.
TEST@db102 SQL> then at destination DB/user :
TEST@db102 SQL> conn scott/tiger@test10
Connected.
SCOTT@test10 SQL> create database link test
2 connect to test identified by test
3 using 'db102';
Database link created.
SCOTT@test10 SQL> create materialized view emp_mv
2 refresh fast
3 as select * from emp@test;
Materialized view created.
SCOTT@test10 SQL>Now emp_mv is the exact copy of emp. To refresh the MV, to reflect changes :
SCOTT@test10 SQL> exec dbms_mview.refresh('EMP_MV','F');
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SCOTT@test10 SQL> ...but I strongly recommend you to read the documentation...

I can't sort a single column only (ignoring the next column)

I can't sort a single column only (ignoring the next column) in NUMBERS

Numbers sorting follows a database model in which each row is a 'record' rather than a collection of unrelated data items. When a table is sorted, the integrity of the individual records (rows) is maintained.
If you need to sort a single column, that column (or its data) must be separated from the rest of the table.
That can be done using copy/paste (as described above by Wayne), or by taking the column to be sorted out of the table, dropping it on the sheet to form a new, single column table, doing the sort, then returning the column to the original table.
The 3 1/2 step process takes longer to describe than to do.

Data Export to Oracle table from essbase issue

Hello,
i am using a data export calc script to load data from essbase into an oracle table. We have Essbase 11.1.2.1 on windows 2008 64 bit R2 server. I have an ODBC system DSN created for this job.
However, when i launch this process i get a message in the log "Cannot read SQL driver name for [Backup Exec Catalogs] from [ODBC.INI]"
i have checked the ODBC.ini file also in C:\Windows directory and that file contains the connection entries...
Any thoughts as to why i am getting this error in one server whereas the same process on SIT server is working fine.
thanks...

please restart the application and try again . Check the application log if any details are there

How about 'Send to . . ' instead of 'Export as Catalog'?

Desktop Win XP SP3 with LR 2.4, Laptop Vista Home with LR 2.3. I have two catalogs: One is All Digital Images, the other All Slide Scans. I know I can have it all in one catalog but prefer this way.
On my desktop My Pictures folder contains all my LR files including both catalogs, both Image files, all previews and a LR Settings file. The other day I did an Export as Catalog of My Pictures including everything except the previews intending to send it to External K. It all ended up staying on my C drive (must have missed a prompt somewhere). Scared the heck out of me because I ended up with only 3gbs on my C drive!!! Anyway, I got that all sorted out by Copying My Pictures to Ext K, backing all of that onto Ext F and Firelite and then deleting the duplicate folder in C. (I also have the daily LR back ups on my D drive.)
As a result, it occurred to me that I might as well just have 'Copied' My Pictures to the external (as I do with back ups) as to Export as Catalog. Is there any good reason not to just 'Copy' or 'Send to'? What would be the difference?
Today I'm going to update the Laptop to 2.4 and will then delete all my images and .lrcats from the Desktop C drive. Because there are some additions and changes on the Desktop files, I thought about doing a new clean 'Export as Catalog' (for practice to see I can do it right) so I can have that on the Laptop when I update it to LR 2.4. Decided to get your answer above before making that move.
A lot of words for a little question . . .

I really do wonder where I missed the chance, in Export as Catalog, to direct the export to my EXT drive but prefer not to
It's an option in the first the dialog window that opens when you choose Export as Catalog...

Export single sites?

Hi,
is it possible to export single sites from iweb 08? Maybe with an application?
Thanks,
Max

Max:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Yes. There are two 3rd party applications which lets you manage multiple sites separately. They are Multisite for iWeb (shareware) and iWebSites (donation ware).
I use iWebSites to manage multiple sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
If you have multiple sites in one domain file here's the workflow I used to split them into individual site files with iWebSites. Be sure to make a backup copy of your original Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process.
This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want.
