FCPX 10.1: Best practice moving libraries (files)?

In the past, FCPX encouraged us to moves files WITHIN the application, through the UI.
Does 10.1. now encourage us to move/delete files (libraries) "under the hood?"--in the finder? Given a choice, what is the best practice?

Hi dostoelk,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Clips, projects, and events should still be managed within Final Cut Pro X. For more information, read our Managing Media with Final Cut Pro X Libraries white paper (PDF) at: www.apple.com/final-cut-pro/docs/Media_Management.pdf
I hope this information helps ....
Happy Holidays!

EP Upgrade - SP14 - Best Practice for Modification File Comparison

SDN Experts -
We are upgrading our EP from SP14 - SP16. SAP offers a file "diff" tool that is only useful for Java application files to assist in re-applying our mods on top of the new code stack.
We are looking for best practices in Portal upgrades to do the following:
- Identify all files that we have modified on existing SP
- Diff all source code files (java, XML, GUI, other) between Current SP14 and SP16
We are also looking for documentation that identifies the local directory structure for NWDS. This would aid us in creating a batch process to "diff" our source code libraries.
Any recommendations are appreciated.
Thanks

I'm not realy getting your question because you already state what to do:
We are looking for best practices in Portal upgrades to do the following:
Identify all files that we have modified on existing SP
Diff all source code files (java, XML, GUI, other) between Current SP14 and SP16
You should know by documentation what is changed I guess? Then start diff-ing the code and recompile or repackage. NWDS also has diff functionalities.
Good luck,
Benjamin

Best Practice for Flat File Data Uploaded by Users

Hi,
I have the following scenario:
1.     Users would like to upload data from flat file and subsequently view their reports.
2.     SAP BW support team would not be involved in data upload process.
3.     Users would not go to RSA1 and use InfoPackages & DTPs. Hence, another mechanism for data upload is required.
4.     Users consists of two group, external and internal users. External users would not have access to SAP system. However, access via a portal is acceptable.
What are the best practice we should adopt for this scenario?
Thanks!

Hi,
I can share what we do in our project.
We get the files from the WEB to the Application Server in path which is for this process.The file placed in the server has a naming convention based on ur project,u can name it.Everyday the same name file is placed in the server with different data.The path in the infopackage is fixed to that location in the server.After this the process chain trigers and loads the data from that particular path which is fixed in the application server.After the load completes,a copy of file is taken as back up and deleted from that path.
So this happens everyday.

Best Practices for Exporting Files??

I'm new to Premiere (coming from FCP). I used Premiere months ago to compress some ProRes files to h.264 files for the web. I sent the files through Media Encoder and everything seemed fine. However, I realized after several weeks that the audio in all of the files was a few frames out of sync. Having not been a Premiere user at the time I did not do much research and decided to just use MPEG Streamclip from then on.
Now that I'm learning how to use Premiere, I looked up the issue on the forums and found that many people have had similar issues with the audio being out of sync after exporting. However, there are tons of different scenerios in which it seems to be occuring. The one common variable that I've noticed (among many of the threads, but not all) is that many of the people are exporting to a Quicktime format.
While I don't remember all the details of my export and sequence settings from my issue months ago (so I don't want to address that specific case), I am curious as to what are some "Best Practices" when exporting from Premiere Pro? Is there any advantage/disadvantage to use AME rather than exporting directly from Premiere Pro? In general, I will just be exporting as H.264 files for the web, MPEG-2 for DVD, and ProRes 422 for After Effects (or sometimes to bring into MPEG Streamclip).
I shoot almost entirely in AVCHD, and usually at 1080p 30fps. I'm running CS5 on a Macbook Pro 15" 2.0 Quad Core i7 8GB RAM.
While the question may seem broad, my main concern that I want to avoid is having the audio out of sync. But also I just want to know of any important details to keep in mind to prevent other issues.
Thanks,
Mike

> I'm running CS5...
What specific version? We're up to 5.0.4 now.
There have been bug fixes for audio/video synch in the updates. One of the fixes was for a bug in the conforming of audio and indexing of MPEG files, so you need to delete your media cache files and let Premiere Pro create new ones for this fix to take effect.

Best practices to configure files to display and play in order?

I'm looking for best practices to get saved recordings (songs and business trainings) on my PC correctly configured so they will show up correctly (artist, song title, track number) and play incorrect order.
I have lots of MP3 files (and other formats) on my PC but when i transfer them to iTunes and sync to iPod they don't play in correct order or show up as unknown artist (and other issues).
I typically have them in a folder by artist name then folder with name of course or album then each song begins with a number.
EXAMPLE: Eagles (folder) - Hotel California (folder) - 1.HotelCalifornia.mp3, 2.NewKidInTown.mp3, etc etc.
I've also right-clicked and went into properties and add the track number, artist name, album name, contributing artist etc but it still comes up with these issues
--it's also very time-consuming to do this.
EXAMPLE: instead of it being track 1,2,3 etc it will be 1,10,11,2,21,3...
I've tried dragging them or copying them into the "automatically add" folder and also adding to library in iTunes.
Any help is much appreciated.

Hi Narendra,
Oracle User and the FTP user are 2 different users.
I'm assuming you'll be reading the file from R12 through File Adapter and writing it to Bank using FTP Adapter.
Oracle User is able to login into R12, do some operations, submit some concurrent programs/requests based on responsibilities and generate the file to be transferred (like in my case it did by running a Concurrent Request). The file so generated should be placed at a location from where File Adapter can read it within the BPEL process. Now to read the file, the user that is used is a SOA server user (again different from R12 user). This is the same user that you use to login into your SOA server physical box. Hence to be able to read the file, your file should have appropriate privileges (we set that as 777) so that it can be read by the SOA process (using SOA user).
FTP user, on the other hand, is the user that allows connection to Bank FTP server. This has absolutely no connection with R12. Bank who hosts the FTP server must give you the FTP user details that you'll use inside your FTP JNDI Configuration on Weblogic. When you deploy and run your process (you don't deploy adapter), it picks up the connection details from FTP JNDI properties that you defined in weblogic.
Hence both the jusers can be different and I don't think any best practices are required or do exist for this.

Best practice - moving home directories

Hello all,
I was looking for insight on best practices for moving home directories.
I was thinking that using the migration tool would be best to move the directories and then using dsrazor to remap all of the home directories for our users.
We are running Netware 6.5 SP8. I have added a 2TB RAID 10 set to one of our servers which is where I am planning on moving all of the user directories.
Thoughts/suggestions are welcome.

Steve D.
When you move data (using Windows explorer ect) across volumes the trustee rights drop off. If moving from NW to NW use Server Consilidation and Migration Tool. If moving from NW to OES Linux use miggui. The SCMT has a few other features like project planning and verification.

Best Practice For Secure File Sharing?

I'm a newbie to both OX X Server and File Sharing protocols, so please excuse my ignorance...
My client would like to share folders in the most secure way possible; I was considering that what might be the best way would be for them to VPN into the server and then view the files through the VPN tunnel; my only issue with this is that I have no idea how to open up File Sharing to ONLY allow users who are connecting from the VPN (i.e. from inside of the internal network)... I don't see any options in Server Admin to restrict users in that way....
I'm not afraid of the command line, FYI, I just don't know if this is:
1. Possible!
And 2. The best way to ensure secure AND encrypted file sharing via the server...
Thanks for any suggestions!

my only issue with this is that I have no idea how to open up File Sharing to ONLY allow users who are connecting from the VPN
Simple - don't expose your server to the outside world.
As long as you're running on a NAT network behind some firewall or router that's filtering traffic, no external traffic can get to your server unless you setup port forwarding - this is the method used to run, say, a public web server where you tell the router/firewall to allow incoming traffic on port 80 to get to your server.
If you don't setup any port forwarding, no external traffic can get in.
There are additional steps you can take - such as running the software firewall built into Mac OS X to tell it to only accept network connections from the local network, but that's not necessary in most cases.
And 2. The best way to ensure secure AND encrypted file sharing via the server...
VPN should take care of most of your concerns - at least as far as the file server is concerned. I'd be more worried about what happens to the files once they leave the network - for example have you ensured that the remote user's local system is sufficiently secured so that no one can get the documents off his machine once they're downloaded?

Best practice for property file

I am trying one small code which uses values from property file.
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, java.io.IOException
      InputStream inputStream = servletContext.getResourceAsStream(/WEB-INF/test.properties);
      PrintWriter out         = response.getWriter();
       Properties prop = new Properties();
       prop.load(inputStream);
       inputStream.close();
      String nameprop = prop.getProperty("name");
      out.println(nameprop);
   }I am getting the value from property file, It's perfectly ok as far as test code is concerned. Above will open the inputStream for each thread, which is not needed so i modified it and put in inside init() method. That is also working, i believe this will give me some better performance.
But can i extend it further? I load property file at application level and all my servlets make use of it?
What is normal practice to read property file to get good performance? I serached forum, i found some info there but could not figure out exactly how people are doing it.
Thanks in advance,
regards
Manisha

Thanks to all posters,
As mentioned by duffymo, I tried some code which i tested on my m/c and working fine. But just want to confirm, what i understood and wrote is correct.
I wrote 1st servlet to get the property file and store into servlet context, 2nd servlet is just to test it.
1st Servlet:
package common;
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.util.*;
public class TestPropertyfiles_1 extends HttpServlet
public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException
   super.init(config);
   try{
        String PF_PATH = "/WEB-INF/test.properties";
        Properties prop = new Properties();
                        InputStream inputStream = config.getServletContext().getResourceAsStream(PF_PATH);
       prop.load(inputStream);
       inputStream.close();
       getServletContext().setAttribute("pf", prop);
   }catch(Exception e){}
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, java.io.IOException
        PrintWriter out         = response.getWriter();
        Properties tmpprop = (Properties) getServletContext().getAttribute("pf");
        String nameprop = tmpprop.getProperty("name");
            out.println("name from property file" + nameprop);
}2nd servlet:
package common;
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.util.*;
public class TestPropertyfiles_2 extends HttpServlet
     public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException
        super.init(config);
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, java.io.IOException
        PrintWriter out         = response.getWriter();
        Properties tmpprop = (Properties) getServletContext().getAttribute("pf");
        String nameprop = tmpprop.getProperty("name");
                        out.println("name from property file - no 2" + nameprop);
}This was initially giving problem if I access 2nd servlet first before accessing 1st servlet. I did some changes inside web.xml
<servlet>
<servlet-name>common.TestPropertyfiles_1</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>common.TestPropertyfiles_1</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
And then all was ok.
One thing came to my mind. I can have one common servlet just for all initialisation, this will not have any doGet/doPost.

Manisha

Transfer file clean up: What is best practice when creating files with timestamps?

Created an SSIS package to create files that will be sent which are created with a time stamp. What is the best procedure of clean up for the files? I'd like to keep at least a day of files for verification purposes.

Run http://filepropertiestask.codeplex.com task to get the file creation date and if older delete it or a Script Task that uses the .Net FileInfo
CreratedDate method to find it Then you can use
Precedence Constraints to either skip the file deletion or not.

What is the best practice to migrate files from one profile to another?

I am increasing having to move from one created local profile machine to an active directory joined mobile account. What is the best way to migrate the files from one profile to another?

Some answers below:
1. Yes, you should use snapshots (right click on t he object and select create snapshot or on the project menu, select Change Manager for a centralized snapshot management).
2. See above.
3. Usually you will export the (test/development) design repository to an mdl file, and import it into the other (production) design directory. Then you will deploy the code from the other design directory into the production target (runtime).
2.1 From 9.2 on, you will have to deploy to file and then use OWB scripting (OMBPlus) to deploy the generated file outside of the deployment manager.
2.2 Not sure what is asked in this question - can you rephrase?
2.3 No, but the creation and use of thes will not be managed and audited by OWB (Runtime Audit Browser)
3.(bis) The target owner.

Best practices for audio files in your app

Hello All,
I was just curious what everyone is doing as far as having quality sounds in their app but keeping the file size down. Here are a few questions:
Is it better to have them compressed like mp3's, or not as .wav. Is .caf really better than .wav?
What have you found to be the best "sweet spot" for sample rate etc. for good quality and lower file size for an iphone app?
What programs can you recommended to do the final conversions necessary to keep the file size low and the file still working for the iphone. As an example when I make a .wav file by bouncing a mix from my PC based protools it creates .wav file that for some reason throws an error when used in an app; but if I take that same .wav file and open it in freeware like Audacity and save it as a .wav again; it reduces the file size and "fixes" whatever the issue was.
Any help you can offer would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

Well I'm not sure if any of the benefits of caf will be apparent to your app given that you are playing and not recording and you are using PCM. I think you can go directly from wav to caf with /Developer/Examples/CoreAudio/SimpleSDK/ConvertFile but I'm not sure. However, if you can produce compressed audio you will have a lot of space savings and you can experiment with sample rates to make a good size / quality tradeoff. I do not know what tools there are to record compressed audio...

Best Practice Moving to iPrint Appliance

I'm working with a site that has some old NDPS printing on NetWare 6.5 and some OES based iPrinting. We are moving to the iPrint appliance. While you can migrate/import printers from the old system into the appliance, I haven't figured out the best way to deal with the clients. What have others done to switch the clients over to the appliance based printers? Are there any tricks here? Looking for what others have done. Thanks.

Best practice to save file in the database?

Hallo,
in version 10.1.2 there i make a little application which allows to save a file in a table.
the column i defined as ordsys.orddoc. than i could use the standard functionality of jdeveloper.
is this a good way to do that, or is it better to go an other way?
any information or idea is appreciated.

Hi,
There is other possibilities using Blob/Clob types. I never experienced ordsys, so i can't compare to it. But it's a possibility.

Best practices for saving files when emailing to the media?

I'm pretty much an Ai imposter. I have Illustrator cs4 (14.0.0) and the way I use it is to cobble my designs together from iStock vector files and a lot of trial and error. Occasionally my husband throws me a lifeline because he is skilled with PhotoShop. As a small business owner, I am dying to find the time to take a course but right now I am just trying to float around the forums and learn what I can. Basically I flail about near the computer and the design sloooowly and somewhat mysteriously comes together. It's getting faster and is kind of fun, unless I get stuck.
This week I had a problem with an ad I designed for a very small community orchestra's printed programs. I send them a pdf first, and when they view it on their screens using inDesign they see the whole image but when it printed it omitted an element (a sunburst in the background). They thought it had something to do with that element being in color rather than greyscale (though there were other elements that survived and they were the exact same color so I was skeptical). I sent a greyscale file, no luck. I sent them the Ai file, but that apparently "crashed" their iD and now they believe I've sent a corrupted file. They aren't very adobe-savvy, either.
I've designed and emailed no fewer than 9 other ads to other print & online media organizations this year and never had a problem. The file looks fine to me in all versions I open/upload/email to myself.
You can see it here if you like: http://www.scribd.com/doc/27776704/RCMA-for-CSO-Greyscale
So here are my specific questions:
1. How SHOULD I be saving this stuff? Is pdf the mark of a rookie?
2. What settings should I be looking at when/before saving? I read about overprint, for example, and did try that with one of the versions I sent them to no avail. I don't really know what that does, so I was just trying a hail mary there anyway.
Thanks for your time!

PDF is the modern way of sending files but what you might want to do is in this case select the art in question and go to Object>Flatten Transparency
then save it as a pdf or as an ai file when sending the file to them zip it if they have windows based computers or stuffit if they have Mac actually zip is good for both.
It is safer to send it as an archive then as an ai file.
