File rename in standby with OMF

Datfile on primary (Prod):
+DG1/prod/user.dbf
Datafile on Stdby
+DG1/prod/user.dbf
On stdy we wanted this file to in
the folder.
+DG1/std_prod/user.dbf
However, Oracle has created soft link and handling this internally which we can see within asmcmd.
Everytime we add a datafile on primary, we use OMF and let oracle handle the path.
But in the past somebody has added the datafile with absolute path and this resulted
in the soft link creation on stdby.
When we are cloning from stdby, we need to look into this path always. We want to get rid of this, and correct the path on Stdby.
How can we do this ?
The path on PRIMARY is correct. But on stdby we want the file to be moved to different folder.
Is this possible ?
We are on 11gR1 on Linux.

0. Stop RECOVERy
1. Use RMAN to "BACKUP AS COPY" the datafile.
2. set the datafile offline with ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE 4 OFFLINE
3. Then, in an RMAN run block , have "SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 4 to NEW" followed by RESTORE DATAFILE 4 FROM COPY
4. SWITCH DATAFILE 4 TO COPY
5. RECOVER DATAFILE 4
(Assuming that the datafile is DATAFILE 4 --- change the 4 to the actual FILE_ID)

How to Rename a Topic ID in Map File to Avoid Conflict with Another Program?

Robo 8 HTML:
Can somebody assist me in understanding how to rename a topic ID in my map.h file?
An application programmer informs me there are nine topic IDs (shown below) in my project map file which conflict with predefined names of constants/functions from the Visual Studio Libs program and, is requesting I change the names of the topics listed below to resolve topic ID conflict in order to enable F1 call for these topics.
#define Open 59
#define Save 60
#define Print 63
#define Cut 72
#define Copy 73
#define Paste 74
#define Clear 75
#define Status 81
#define Substructure 139
Can I simply alter the topic names and retain their associated map numbers in <Create/Edit Map ID> dialog to resolve the map file conflict with Visual Studio Libs program functions? Or, is there more work involved in changing a topic name in a map.h file?
Any assistance with this question is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
robert

Hi,
Simply renaming the TopicID's in the .h file won't work. The TopicID is used in the alias file (projectname.ali) to link a map number with a topic. Also, you can use either TopicID's or map numbers to call the help. (Using TopicID's only works for WebHelp afaik.)
If you use map numbers to call the help, you can rename the TopicID using the mentioned dialog. No problem.
If you want to change the ID from the files, you have to change both the .h file as the .ali file. No changes to topics needed.

Renaming a file in Finder changed with Snow Leopard somehow?

I've used an AppleScript for ages to:
1. choose a file (a screenshot)
2. prompt for a new name
3. File is renamed by Finder with new name
4. compose a command to copy it to another server
It seems Finder is not updating the "alias" to the file since I upgraded to Snow Leopard; this very code has worked for the last few versions of OS X:
set screencap to (choose file with prompt "Choose the screen shot: ")
display dialog "Enter new file name: " default answer "foo"
set newname to (the text returned of result as string)
set newnamepng to (newname as string) & ".png"
log "newname is " & newname & " newnamepng is " & newnamepng
log "screencap is " & screencap
tell application "Finder"
set the name of screencap to (newnamepng as string)
end tell
log "the name of screencap is now: " & screencap
set posixscreencap to the POSIX path of screencap
set scpcmd to "scp " & posixscreencap
log scpcmd
Here's what happens when I run it:
tell application "AppleScript Editor"
choose file with prompt "Choose the screen shot: "
--> alias "Einny:Users:swain:Desktop:Screen shot 2010-09-13 at 2.06.44 PM.png"
display dialog "Enter new file name: " default answer "foo"
--> {text returned:"newnameforscreenshot", button returned:"OK"}
end tell
(*newname is newnameforscreenshot newnamepng is newnameforscreenshot.png*)
(*screencap is Einny:Users:swain:Desktop:Screen shot 2010-09-13 at 2.06.44 PM.png*)
tell application "Finder"
set name of alias "Einny:Users:swain:Desktop:Screen shot 2010-09-13 at 2.06.44 PM.png" to "newnameforscreenshot.png"
--> "newnameforscreenshot.png"
end tell
(*the name of screencap is now: Einny:Users:swain:Desktop:Screen shot 2010-09-13 at 2.06.44 PM.png*)
(*scp /Users/swain/Desktop/Screen shot 2010-09-13 at 2.06.44 PM.png*)
For some reason the file alias "screencap" does not get a new name. Any suggestions?

When I run your script, the file name does get changed, it is just that the Finder is not keeping up with the script. There are a few fixes:
1) add a short delay after the rename (delay 1 seems to be enough)
2) use *System Events* instead of the Finder
3) add an update command after setting the name in your FInder tell statement (e.g. update screencap)
Note that an alias will still point to the same file item (even if it does have a different name), but the POSIX path of the alias object does need to be updated before you can use that.

Almost there with a folder & file renaming script

Hi all,
I have been trying to write a script that will replace text in every file and folder from given folder, and all of its subfolders and files.
I have manage to tweek the apple supplied script to rename all files but it keeps crashing when it renames a folder. I am guessing it is because if the parent folder gets renamed all the aliases to the other folders are broken?
Can anybody please help, I'm sure this script would be of use to many people!

Hmmm, that script is definitely a bit old.
An alias will still refer to the same file or folder, even if renamed. Your script does not crash on my machine, but the list of folder items to rename is empty. You are doing a lot more work than you really need to - you can just tell the Finder to get a list of file or folders so you don't have to do all that looping. By the way, you do not need the Finder to display the dialogs - normally an application tell statement should just contain terminology for that application (i.e. commands specific to the application).
The following script replaces your loops through the files and folders with statements that just get all of the files or folders (or both). I also renamed the buttons so that their names/selection can be used elsewhere, such as some of the dialogs.

File rename with counting from 0 instead of 1

I have Aperture, the latest update installed.
I need to rename small series of pictures to XXXXXXXX_00.jpg, XXXXXXXX_01.jpg and so on. (I copy/paste the XXXXXXXX from a list of productcodes in Numbers)
The only solution so far is to rename the first to XXXXXXXX_00.jpg with the 00 as custom text and to rename the following 6 or so to XXXXXXXX_01.jpg,...,XXXXXXXX_06.jpg
Does anyone have a clue how to do this at one go and set the file renaming to Customname_Counter00. Aperture only lets you use Counter01 :-(
Any help is appreciated
Eric

This should work for you (here's hoping the screen shot shows)
The counter is set to start at 0, number of digits is set to 3. This is what you get
even though the example in the preset window shows the number as 1 when it runs with the # of digts set to 3 it will pad it out to 000
Here is waht it looks like in the Batch Change window

Easier way to rename music files and locate them with iTunes? Help, please!

A while back, I used a 3rd party software (Yamipod) to move all my music off of my video ipod to a new computer. Yamipod converted all of my music file names to read "album name - artist - song name", instead of how iTunes imports music "01 song name". Yamipod also created a sub-folder "1" for each album the artist has in my iTunes music folder.
For example, when in my iTunes music folder, if I click on Justin Timberlake, it will show the two albums I have "FutureSex" and "Justified". If I click on "Justified" it shows a folder "1" which I have to click on to get to the song which is then named "Justified - Justin Timberlake - Rock Your Body" instead of "06 Rock Your Body"
When in my iTunes folder, a lot of my music cannot be found (even though it is not technically lost), so I manually have to click through all my iTunes music folders to "re-attach" the file so iTunes can then play the music.
Here's what I am looking for:
1. I want to rename all of my music files back to iTunes format of "track # song name" (i.e. 06 Rock Your Body) without manually retyping every song title.
2. An easier way for iTunes to "find" all of my music instead of me manually pointing to each and every file. I have all the music, I just have to manually show iTunes where each of the 1600+ songs is located, which is a long and tedious process that I do not have the time or patience for.
I would greatly appreciate any advice on how to manage this without going bonkers.
Thank you!!

Well, the one problem you have is that for the "Move" function, the source file input should be wired to the output of the "Build Path" function, not to the duplicate path out of the "List" function. Also, you need to pass the error cluster around with a shift register. Otherwise you will not catch an error that may have occurred during one of the file rename operations.

Files Renamed when importing to LR4 and now can't find them in LR3

Help! What should I do???
Yesterday I installed LR 4 Beta. I had a folder with 300 images in it on LR 3, obviously all files had names. I imported these photos into LR4 to work with LR4 and they were renamed in the process. Now in my LR3 folder, all the files still have there old names and the "missing photo ?" and I assume that's because the name has been changed and LR3 can't find them. Any thoughts on an easy fix?
Thanks,
Matthew Kraus

Thanks so much for helping me with this.
I must admit, I didn't pay too much attention when importing this "test"
group of photos to LR4, therein lies my problem. Now that I look at the
import settings that were used:
1. Files were not added or copied, they were "moved" to a new location and
also renamed.
2. Files were renamed starting with "264" using my regular import template.
Listed below are the first 10 photos with their original LR3 and he
changed LR4 names.
1201_001 changed to 1201_264-2
1201_002 changed to 1201_265-2
1201_003 changed to 1201_266-2
1201_004 changed to 1201_267-2
1201_005-Edit-Edit changed to 1201_268-2
1201_005-Edit changed to 1201_269-2
1201_005-Edit changed to 1201_270-2
1201_005-Edit-Edit-2 changed to 1201_271-2
I have a back up of my images on an EHD from several days ago which has the
original file names, but this backup only has 203 of the 268 images I
imported yesterday and are renamed.
Thanks again,
Matthew Kraus

Why does iPhoto (9.0/11) not retain the Event name when exporting more than one event? (using File - Export - Album name with number).

Why does iPhoto (9.0/11) not retain the Event name when exporting more than one event? (using File -> Export -> Album name with number).
Exporting a single Event retains the Event name which is what I'd expect. But highlighting more than one event and exporting it renames the images to Events 001.JPG, Event 002.JPG etc.
I was recently on holidays and had all my events nicely split on Dad's computer but when I went to export it I couldn't retain any of this information. Now I have to replicate this all again on my computer.
It wasn't possible to export the entire library as the external drive was fat32 format an I didn't want all of it. It would be nice to export a bunch of events to someone and have it retain the name.
Does anyone have a work around or will this be fixed at some point by Apple?

Restoring from backup to new location + not wanting files renamed

Hi there - I am a newbie to this forum.
I have a Win XP machine that recently needed to have the hard drive wiped and the OS re-installed. Fortunately I had a recent backup of all my data so I'm in a good starting position for a restore. However I have some questions as the re-install of the OS has had a change in profile name.
Before my machine was wiped, I had a "Daniel" profile and so my "iTunes Media folder location" was set to C:\Documents and Settings\Daniel\My Documents\My Music.
After my PC was rebuilt, a new profile was created called "dnl". iTunes has been re-installed (version 10.1.2.17). The first time I launched iTunes the "iTunes Media folder location" was set to C:\Documents and Settings\dnl\My Documents\My Music. I did NOT choose to have iTunes browse/load my files and so currently iTunes shows no files or playlists.
I have recreated the C:\Documents and Settings\Daniel\My Documents\My Music folder from my backup so all the music files and the previous libraries are presently in this location. However even if I change the "iTunes Media folder location" within iTunes to point to the "old" location, it doesn’t find the files or libraries.
I have tried deleting the following files from C:\Documents and Settings\dnl\My Documents\My Music\iTunes:
iTunes Library Extras.itdb
iTunes Library Genius.itdb
iTunes Library.itl
iTunes Music Library.xml
I did this assuming that the next time iTunes was launched, it would refer to the old location (as specified as my "iTunes Media folder location"), find the old library files there and use them. However it seems to ignore them and simply re-creates the files above in the location I deleted them from.
So…I am unclear as to the best strategy to have iTunes point back to the old location to find the music files and retain all the playlists I had.
I found this thread: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1364. It mentions a method that will find all the files in the old location and move them to the new location, retaining playlists, artwork etc. Once the data has been copied, it advises to delete the files from the original location.
However I see that it mentions checking the ‘Keep iTunes Media folder organized’ option. From reading other threads I know this to be a source of one very irritating problem – it renames all the file names. I have specifically ripped my music using software other than iTunes for the express purpose of being able to tag the filenames with more specific info than iTunes would. I like the files to named <artist>-<album>-<track no>-<track title>.<file extension> and am not a fan of the very basic filenames that iTunes assigns.
So…I want to have iTunes simply point back to the old location and not do any file renaming. I am happy enough to have iTunes simply point to a location that isn’t technically part of my current profile. I don’t have a desperate need for the files to be moved to the dnl profile.
So…I am guessing there has to be some other file (or registry setting?) that knows where best to point to? Can this modified?
I would be appreciative of any assistance.
Thanks!

Hi Daniel, welcome to Apple Discussions.
The default location for the iTunes library folder is <Profile><Music>iTunes with the media folder at *<Profile>\<Music>\iTunes\iTunes Media*. For XP the <Music> folder is My Documents\My Music.
When iTunes starts up it looks for a set of library files in the last location it used. If that location is also the default location and it can't find the library files it assumes it has just been installed and creates a new set.
Changing the location of the *iTunes Media* folder in preferences does not change which set of library files it opens, nor will it automatically detect all the media in that location.
Ideally you should restore the folder iTunes and all its subfolders from your backup into *C:\Documents and Settings\dnl\My Documents\My Music* and start iTunes. All should work perfectly and, as far as iTunes is concerned, you will be using the same library as you used to. Any iDevices should sync without problems.
If you media was not is the usual locations or you are unable to restore the entire iTunes folder then things become more complicated. Post back if you still have trouble and I will try to go into more detail.

Custom File Renaming Template Keeps Changing

I'm having issues when creating a custom file naming template in Tiger with LR 1.3.1.
When importing files, I created a custom template to rename the files with YYMMDD_{original file suffix}{Master}.tif to get this: 071217_12056Master.tif. The first import goes fine. But when I import another batch of files and choose the template all I get is 071217_Master.tif.
I tried creating the template by hitting F2 to rename the photo and get the same results. The really odd thing is that some of the other templates have their characteristics jumbled around so that what I thought was the "orig file-name" template might actually produce something like 071217_.tif.
The original file suffix suffers the worst in terms of disappearing without cause. This behavior was occurring in the 1.2 ver. as well. I've deleted every single template thru the editor, recreated them again and still get the errors.
Hopefully someone here can provide some clues?
Thank you!

It sounds as though your import preset either isn't working or wasn't setup correctly.
Using the full screen import panel, make sure Copy or Move is selected and then select your Import Preset....what does the File Renaming panel look like? "Rename Files" should be ticked, Template should read "Custom Settings" (or the specific rename preset if you've saved it) and the sample should show the correct rename format, like so:
So does yours look like this, or different?

Bridge Photo Downloader File Rename convention

I use a custom file rename preset (YYMMDD + TEXT + FILE NUMBER SUFIX) in BR CC. This custom preset is not available in the Adobe Bridge CC Photo Downloader Reneame Files drop down menu. Neither is the custom preset formula availble in the advanced rename dialog.
I end up importing files with the Bridge Photo Downloader (Do not rename files) and then rename files using the Bridge Batch Rename saved preset.
Is there a way to add a custom file rename convention which is not availble in the Bridge Photo Downloader?
The idea is to rename files during the file ingestion process.

Omke
Thanks for the idea. I tried that but it didn't work. The exact same problem happened again with what appears to be the same crash log: Thread 18 Crashing (see below for that specific section)
Additionally now in the last week I am experiencing Bridge crashing 1-3x/day regardless of the Photo Downloader.
Adobe, please advise.

Rename AfterFX.exe to AfterFX.exe.org or anything will do to make it a non.exe file. Then click on any .aep file. Windoze will say can't find AE CS5.5 and it will then allow go to the dialog window where you can change it to open with AE CS6. Check the always open with this app box and you're done. Go back and rename the changed CS5.5 file to AfterFX.exe and you're back to normal with all future .aep files to open in CS6.
Same process with any version of AfterFX.exe Windoze may have locked you in to.

Bates Numbering/File Rename not working ver 9.1.3

I am trying to apply Bates numbering to a series of documents for document production in a litigation matter that I am handling. I want to apply Bates numbers and also rename the documents with the Bates range of the documents included in each document.
The version of Acrobat on my Windows system is version 9.1.3. In that version, the Bates numbering appears as it should in the right place on each page, but Acrobat will not rename the file names with the Bates range. When I try the exact name thing with the same files on another computer in my office, running version 9.0, everything works fine, and the file names are approrpriately changed to the Bates range of the numbers within the file.
Something appears to have been changed in making version 9.1 that has messed up the ability of Acrobat to rename the files when applying Bates numbers.
Anyone have any information on this or a solution?

I have no idea, other than LR wasn't designed to handle anything but images that cameras rendered. I was surprised to learn LR even played the audio file.
Your question was clear; I read it badly.
AFAIK, you'll have to manually name the audio file, but since each one is a custom job, it shouldn't be too onerous.

File rename doesn't add leading zeros to renaming files sequence? And a pat on the back to the LR de

First of all, LR truly rocks. Any Adobe folk reading this, please take this note as a massive pat on the back for your team. There's a lot of childish and naive negativity from people posting in this forum. And I suspect from folk who are not really your key market for this app. I feed my kids by running a photography business and have been shooting digital since the early 90s...ya know...
LR will be looked at as a massive sea change in the development of digital photography. The first time the entire workflow process is truly viable from end to end. What will make LR the ultimate winner in it's field is simply the integration with Photoshop. Aperture, Capture One etc cannot ever beat LR regarding this and so, just like the way that Excel and Word and Powerpoint all work together and everyone uses them, LR will inevitably become the de facto standard way of managing RAW images for pro photographers.
Even with the few bugs (specifically file movingon Mac OS10.4.9) LR has shaved HOURS off our workflow. We shoot around 250 gigs of images a month in our weddings and event business. Now all of our editors use LR. No more Capture One etc for us.
Here's the question - There seems to be no way to add leading zeros to a file rename command. So if you rename a batch of images they appear as 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 etc so now when I look at them in Bridge or other apps, they are now sorted 1,10,11, etc
Now let me tell ya this is a pain.
Any comments or comfort that is is a known issue would be appreciated. All we want is a way to have the rename add the leading zeros like most other apps do...
Best to all

PS By the way, I am a HARD *** about shoddy unstable software sold to pro photographers as the "prefect solution" that doesnt work as advertised...I am that guy that the tech support guys at certain companies dread. Yep, I simply expect an app to do what it says, just like the car I buy. I once resorted to sending the CEO of a certain software company an invoice for my time restarting, reinstalling the OS and bug finding another similar app. You can image, I got a personal call...heh...

William-
 
 I just changed a folder of 85 images' names, and typed in 001 as my starting number. While no zeroes were prepended, the pix show up in order both in the Finder and in Bridge CS3.
 
 Say a bit more about file moving on your Macs.....

Weird file renaming permission issues

Hi!
We have a file rename permission issue. Here is the background:
We created a 2008 R2 DFS namespace called UserData with Read/write share permissions for Administrators, Everyone and System. UserData has been granted NTFS permissions as follows:
Everyone (This folder only): Traverse folder / Execute files, List folder / Read data, Read attributes, Create folders / Append data
CREATOR OWNER (Subfolders and files only): Full control
SYSTEM (This folder, subfolders and files): Full control
Domain Admins (This folder, subfolders and files)
We then enabled folder redirection for users My documents folder through GPO, setting the following:
Setting: Basic - Redirect everyones folder to the same location
Target folder: Create a folder for each user under the root path
\\domain\UserData
We also unchecked Grant the user exlusive rights to documents.
So, now to the really weird behaviour. We logged on to a Windows 7 (x64) client computer with a user who gets this GPO settings and that is not local administrator on the client. The folder is redirected as expected and we can create, delete and write to
files in anyway we want. We can also rename files if we choose an entirely different name and if we choose a longer or a shorter file name,
but we cannot rename the file to something with the same letters but different casing.
Examples of what will work:
"test" to "testing"
"test" to "cool"
"test" to "COOL"
Examples of what will NOT work:
"test" to "Test"
"test" to "tesT"
"test" to "TEST"
We the get this error: "File Access Denied. You need permission to perform this action. You require permission from S-1-5-21-220..... to make changes to this file."
Eventhough I'm pretty sure the share and NTFS permissions of the share are correctly set we have of course checked all the permissions when logged in and the user has Full NTFS control and Read/Write Share permissions.
We have encountered the same problem on a customer company as well, with a different domain with no links to our domain what so ever. I have also seen similar problems from other people when trying to find the answer on internet. Here is an example:

Anyone have any thoughts?

Resent discoveries:
If I log onto a Windows 7 (x86) Enterprise I face the same Issues.
If the same user logs on to one of the DFS servers holding the namespace and accesses his folder we experience
no problems renaming files.
Customer company states that all is working fine when user logs on to a Windows XP with SP3.
