Export preparation details for Het. Sysytem copy

I used to work with a certified migration specialist migrating 4.6C from Window/Oracle to AS/400 about 6 years ago. I remember there was a list of preparation steps to be taken on the source SID to check for readiness before DBEXPORT was done. I did not keep that information.
Now, I have another opportunity to propose migration of 4.6C from HP UX/Oracle to i5. I wonder if anyone can help point me to that list of preparation steps. I need to include it in the appendix of the migration proposal.
Thanks in advance.

Can there be any external hard disks - if so How is/are it/they formatted ? Must be Mac OS Extended (hfs) if used for Video.
UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most but not for VIDEO.
What this means in Your situation is above me.
• free space on internal boot hard disk? How much ?
Video codec
• streamingDV, AIC etc. (not .avi, .mp4, .m4v, .wmv etc as they are containers not codecs)
Pictures
• in what format ? .jpg, .bmp, .tif, else ?
Audio
• from where/what format ? iTunes, .avi, .mp3, .aiff, else ?
The "com.apple.iMovie.plist" file
Many users has not observed that there are TWO libraries.
• Library - at root level
• Library - in user/account folder - THIS IS THE ONE to look into

I fixed the problem.. but it was very, very strange. I had a very long section for credits and set the line spacing to 1.0.. for some reason this caused it. I removed it, and it worked fine. I put it back, and I couldn't preview or play the video.
I don't know why that could cause that big of a problem, but it did..

You need more free space on your hard drive.

After phone support from apple I ended up creating a new project and adding all 117 clips back in individually till I found out what clips flagged and would not allow me to export. I had 3 I deleted and replaced and everything works now 1hr after tedious work....
Where do Your material come from
• Camera
• External hard disk
• USB-memory
And all are connected so that iMovie can find it ?

Shorter clips than 1,5 sec might be one of the culptrits
Bengt cont.
Set-Up might differ
• Mac OS - most probably X.7 or more
• iMovie version - more than iM'11 v. 9.0.4
Action taken
• Finalizing project - I never do as I never understood the gain to do so
• Share as HD to iDVD - never give any gain but if it works the resulting DVD is less quality than if SD-quality was shared
fps - set
•I only use PAL (25fps)

Time required for export preparations

Hi Guys,
I am trying to build the export file from Sap standard system copy procedure. Its a ECC 6.0 with 250gb database size. there are 4 parallel R3load is running. Does anybody have idea how much time it will take to build the export file. Its running from last couple of hours.
Regards,
Subhash

It can take a good while (surely more than a couple of hours)... but if its still there in the morning surely something went wrong.
Sorry for not been able to be more precise.

'Preparing data for exporting' takes forever (Urgent, please help)

Hello,
I'm currrently editing a 1920x800 anamorphic Full HD project on Premiere Pro CS5. The original full HD clips were replaced with AE-comps using Dynamic link for color grading. The project is 15 minutes long and mainly consists of linked AE-comps. The sound is filled with gunshot sound effects, music and original recorded audio. That audio is also linked with Soundbooth for some postwork.
Here's the problem: when i hit the 'Export' on Premiere pro I get the window, i choose my settings (H.264 10 mbps) and then when I hit the 'Qeue' button it shows the progress bar 'Preparing data for export' and Media Encoder starts up normally. The problem is nothing happens afterwards. The project doesn't get loaded in AME and the progress bar keeps on telling forever that it's 'preparing data for export' Normally this process only takes up a minute or 2 max. How can i fix this?
Editing rig:
27 inch imac
4 gigs ram
2.53 i5 processor
ATI 4850
Please help me with this, my deadline is within 4 hours
Thank you!

I have some suggestions you can try.
1. Can you try exporting directly from inside Premiere, instead of adding to AME from PR?
- press the Export button inside the Export Settings Dialog, not the Queue button
2. Can you import the sequence directly into AME?
- launch AME, File menu\Add Premiere Pro Sequence
3. Try using a different format other than, H.264.
4. Try using PR CS5.5. You can download the trial version and use it for 30 days.
Hope this helps. If not, please re-post with test results.
Thanks

Is Lightroom any good for preparing stills for export to Final Cut Pro?

I am a fan of Lightroom. I am running ver. 3.0. I am wondering if it might be practical to use Lightroom to prepare stills for import toFinal Cut Pro when I don't need a layer. It really is good to use Lightroom if you can, right? In the past most people have used Photoshop for this task. Here are a few notes I have made from a tutorial which shows how to do it in Photoshop, it seems very good, title: "Final Cut Studio 2, Moving on Stills" is by Larry Jordan and is at Lynda.com:
Scaling: Use bicubic sharpener if reduction is required
Edit / Assign profile: SRGB IEC61966-2.1 for import into SD project, HDTV((Rec. 709) for import into HD Project
(Is exporting to these profiles in Lightroom as good as assigning them in Photoshop? Unfortunately I don't understand this stuff fully. In my PSCS5 The HDTV)Rec 709) is on list, It isn't on list for LR when in Export window, I click on color space and select Other. It seems like list comes from Library/Preferences/Adobe, Color/Profiles I don't understand why it doesn't show up with all the other profiles in LR. )
Image mode - set to RGB Color (I don't understand what that accomplishes, can anyone explain)
(It sounds like saving file as a TIFF is the a best way, I can do that with LR)
I wonder why not use 16 bit depth for export? There must be some pros and cons. Any comments?
Has anyone already done this with Lightroom? Any comments appreciated.

I doubt you'll notice the difference if you are not watching on a
reference TV monitor. I took a few sRGB images into Photoshop and
assigned the HDTV profile. I don't see any difference at all.
2010/8/10 Dorin Nicolaescu-Musteață <[email protected]>:
>> if you look at the HDTV (Rec. 709) profile in Colorsync utility, it is exactly equal to sRGB. This makes sense as the standards are based on each other and they have the same primaries. I doubt there is any point in using the HDTV profile.
According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rec._709#Transfer_characteristics, both share the same primaries and white point, but have a different gamma. Doesn't it mean that same pixel data should look different (slightly lighter and darker) in each space?

Unable to prepare project for publishing. The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (Error code -50) imovie 09 v8.0.6

When I try to export the movie I get this error code. Im doing a music video and have put days into it and now I can not get it to export! My other small project export with no problem.

Thanks for the details. We have a similar problem (see my post below) and are in the process of adding back each clip and then testing for export. My question is, once iMovie is unable to export the project, does it render the file "bad" and prevent exporting even if you remove the "poisned" clip(s)?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Hello, We are having a similar problem running iMovie '09. We get the exact same error as you reported.
"Unable to prepare project for publishing" The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred (-50)
We have a very similar situation were we have multiple repeated clips. However, our clips are 2.4 's. Like you, we took the finished project and started eliminating edits that we thought might be preventing it from exporting. The following actions still would not allow the project to export:
removing title pages
removing transitions
removing imported music from iTunes
removed another clip from another event
closed all other programs
closed iMovie, powered off computer, opened iMovie, tried to export
reconfirmed the last project exported would still export - it did without issueThe only difference between the project that will export and the one that does not are these short (2.4's) repeating clips
When we create the new project from the recorded event without making any edits (just as recorded), it exports without issue. We have started the arduous task of adding back in each edit and testing it for export until we determine which edit is causing it to "not export". This is a very inefficient way of troubleshooting.
This is a science project for my son and we need to be able to save it as a QT or mpeg4 movie so that he can submit it to his teacher for viewing and a grade!
Any ideas from any other users would be greatly appreciated.

Unable to prepare project for publishing (error -2125); how do I fix this?

Trying to export movie (about 200+ gb: 3hr.s+, using external hard drive) to a thumb drive (32 gb); I get the msg. unable to prepare project for publishing. An error occurred. (-2125)
What to do?

The thumb drive is probably formatted as FAT32 (most USB flash drives are formatted as FAT32). There is a 4GB file size limit with any drives formatted as FAT32. Try reformatting the thumb drive as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) using the Mac app Disk Utility (it comes with the OS and should be in the Utilities folder).
Also, are you sure that the 32GB drive is enough space for your exported movie? Try exporting it to your internal drive, or an external portable drive formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Then copy it to the thumb drive, provided that the exported file will fit on it.
Otherwise, you will need to follow Karsten's advice to duplicate the project one or more times, then delete portions from each duplicate so that you end up with a number of separate projects, each with their individual content. Then export each project separately.
To duplicate a project, while in Project Library view (where all your projects are listed), select File > Duplicate Project. Alternatively, right-click (or Control-click) on the project in the Library and select Duplicate Project from the pop-up menu.
If you need assistance with reformatting the thumb drive, please ask.

Need latest protocol for preparing movie for web in X

Hello. The basic problem is slow start on You Tube. My general question concerns preparing a movie for the web; not restricted to You Tube.
In FCP 7, it was export using QT conversion, to Quick Time Movie using broadband Med or most recent settings, choose H264, choose custom size 16:9 HD 1280 x 720p, prepare head for internet streaming by choosing quick start ,
adjust settings, and save. Then, Open .mov (usually 1 G for 3 minutes) in QT, choose export to web, transcode, and send 50-100 Mb M4V or sometimes MP4 to Host. No problem.
When I open an .mov prepared in X, the QT Player no longer allows the same options as it did when processing 7 movies. Am I missing something? I click export to web with the new system and it just starts in coding.
I appreciate the automatic features of X, but am having problems with both stutter start and a few more upload problems that I see as temporary.
Thx. www.youtube.com/user/edwardshaw1
Any suggestions most grateful for.
Ed

Check your Applications > Utilities folder. That's where the OSX Installer moved Quicktime 7 (also known as Quicktime Player) when Quicktime X became the standard player. Your pro license should still be activated. If you don't find it there and you have a Snow Leopard (or earlier) installer disk, you can find QT7 in the Extras folder. Make sure you do NOT overwrite Quicktime X when you move or install QT7 (both are originally named "Quicktime Player" - but you can rename the older Quicktime Player to "Quicktime Player 7" before moving it into your Applications folder.)
The problem with MPEG Streamclip and other "third party" conversion software (like ClipWrap and Smart Converter) is they use FFMPEG open source x.264 codecs. Apple's H.264 codec is superior (arguably, marginally better... but better.)
YouTube will "respect" your upload if it's already done well (to their specifications.) Otherwise, their software will recompress it.
In QT7Pro, you settings should be:
Compression type: H.264
Frame Rate 30 (or 29.97) fps (29.97 is the "true" 30...) [Even if your project is 720/60p - YT wants 30]
Keyframes: Automatic
Frame Reordering : OFF!
Data Rate: (I'll get back to this)
Optimized for: Streaming (only allowed with Best Quality encoding setting)
Quality: (if you specify a data rate, you only can use "High" -- and you *should* specify a data rate)
Encoding: Best Quality (Multi-pass)
Audio:
Format: AAC
Channels: Stereo (don't think it matters)
Rate: 44.1KHz
[show advanced settings]
Render settings (doesn't matter - normal is fine)
MPEG-4 AAC Encoder Settings:
I use Variable bit rate ; Sound Quality at 128 - 160kbps (about 2/3's to Best on the slider)
(you can use a constant bit rate - i think YT allows up to about 192kbps, but I don't "push it")
If you fall within these parameters, YT is not likely to futz with your vid, you'll get what you put up.
Now, for the Data Rates:
For 1080/30p (29.97p) I've found that 4Mbits/sec is adequate for most video (most of mine are tutorials). If you have sections of your video that have something like trees blowing in the wind shot against a bright blue sky -- you will definitely need a much higher data rate (check your transitions too, they can be subject to some nasty blocking/artifacting when highly compressed). To figure out how much, take a 5 second clip* of the highest action and transcode it at - start at 12.5Mbits/sec (or 12,500 kbits/sec) - and see if you notice any "blocking" - if you do, crank up the data rate another 500-1000kbits/sec (or more if it's pretty bad). If you don't — try optimizing your compression by reducing the data rate until blocking appears. You shouldn't need to exceed 18Mbits/sec... Upload your 5 sec clip to youtube and see if it works out okay. If so, just delete it. Transcode your video to those specs and upload to youtube. Remember your settings - they'll serve you well.
For 720 video, 3200kbits/sec is a good starting point. 480 - 1500 kbits/sec. and so on...
Bandwidth (aka data rate) is **key** to good video. The more compressed your video is, the more YT likes it. The more YT likes your video, the more likely they'll leave it alone and just pass it straight through. (I have seen them pass through data rates up to 18Mbits/sec. Just follow their rules.)
[*In Quicktime 7 Pro, you can set an in and out point anywhere in your video by typing 'i' for the in point and 'o' for the out. Copy (Command-C) the selection. Command N to create a new player and paste - and you have your 5 (or whatever) second clip.]

Basis work for SAP system copy using DB2 cloning tool

My company is using the DB2 cloning tool, formerly from MainStar. Our DBAs have used this tool to create a clone of a technical sandbox (ST1) to another DB2 instance (SZ1).
I am reading through the System Copy for SAP Systems Based on SAP NetWeaver 2004s SR2 ABAP+Java guide and trying to follow the steps.
As information, our application servers are currently running on zLinux and I am trying to do a system copy of an HA ABAP+Java SID.
Since we have used the cloning tool, which I would equate to a homogeneous system copy using database specific tools, the guide looks like it says I can skip the Export Preparation and Table Splitting Preparation steps. The only other step for the source system is the Database and Central Instance Export.
When I execute this step, it creates a dump of the database. This seems useless as we already have a cloned copy of the database.
Does anyone have the list of Basis tasks for a system copy when the DB2 cloning tool is used?
Brian

Nevermind. If someone sets:
rdisp/j2ee_start = 0
in an ABAP+Java system, sapinst behaves strangely during the system export and does not give the option to only dump the filesystem. Bug?
