Final Cut Server Make Link Not working. And I could almost swear this wrkd

I am trying to create a link to a new primary representation of an asset ( I am using a script to move it due to space constraints) and I cannot relink to the new file with:
sudo ./fcsvr_client make_link --llinktype 2 /asset/4387 /dev/19/Set%20Test%201.mov
CODE = E_DATABASE, DESC = ERROR: null value in column "childentityid" violates not-null constraint, SRC_FILE = PmsTask_Db.C, SRC_LINE = 295
I cannot create a link of ANY type.. Even if I try a link type of 15 for edit proxy it wont complete... Now here is something interesting thought.. I one time accidentally hot the return key before I had completed type out the movie name and it created a link to /dev/19 successfully .. Of course that doesn't work because it is a device not a movie...
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi -
I have recently dealt with this issue - the command line error is because FCS is trying to "make" the link, but cannot link to a file that is not already associated with some kind of Final Cut Server "entity", be it on the parent side of the link, or child side.
I would ask, if you're replacing one primary rep with another, why you can't simply replace the file on the device, with the exact same filename?
At any rate, if you need to run make_link, you'll need to have the file associated with an FCS entity already, before running make_link. For some proxies in our workflows, this is accomplished by creating a "proxy" asset to be the entity in question, and then running make_link as you described.
I hope that helps!

  • Upgraded to Mac OS X Snow Leopard and final cut express 4 will not work

    upgraded to Mac OS X Snow Leopard and final cut express 4 will not launch but my final cut express HD 3.0 version comes up. I reinstall my final cut express 4 upgrade disc and it still will not launch.
    Where do I go from here?

    You installed from the discs, right?
    What happens when you try to launch? What are you doing to launch and what happens you do it? Can't see you computer from here. If you probably need to contact Apple with an installation issue on a new computer.

  • Final cut server makes MacOSX freeze

    Hello,
    We have a FCServer installed in network enviroment withe three clients. After many incidents we decided to reinstall everything from zero, MAC OS Server and FCServer.
    now the problem is that when uploading projets from any client machine the server freezes and we have to restart the system.
    We saw in the console that the problem may come from the apple Qmaster and compresor.
    Any ideas of the best configuration in order that Qmaster and compressor work properly with FCServer?
    or if this problem comes from somewhere else?
    thanks for your help

    We are running into a similar problem using a similar configuration. When we start a large number of transcode operations the Final Cut Server become unresponsive to new connections, which also gives the appearance to new connections that the server has crashed. Clients with existing connections active can still search and browse the server like normal.
    Currently we have 28 transcode operations active. The server reports 300% on the Compressor process. When we try to connect with the client a frozen spinning wheel appears as it tries to apply the previous search that the account had previously logged out with. Waiting for multiple minutes does not help anything. This is repeatable on other clients, which tells me this is a server side issue.

  • Final Cut Server Metadata will not transfer to FCP

    Hello,
    I am new to Final Cut Server and am encountering a couple of issues. A big one is that the metadata from quicktime clips stored into final cut server will not transfer when I put these same clips from the server into FCP.
    Any idea why? The metadata is with each asset in the server but won't transfer when the clips are transferred into FCP.
    Any suggestion would be great!
    Thanks.

    FCP only supports specific types of metadata.  What specific metadata fields are you looking to export with the clip?  Also, "how" are you getting these clips from FCSvr to FCP?

  • Final cut pro HD 2 not working with new updates

    recently purchased a new imac. Most of my old programs were not supported. I updated to 10.9 from 10.5. Now, all the programs are running except Final Cut pro HD 2. I get a message sayin"power pc applications are no longer supported" Any suggestions? I read in an old discussion (from 2011) that I might need to download Rosetta?

    I do not know which version of FCP the OP is using as I do not recognize his designation of Final Cut Pro HD 2.
    However, last weekend I attempted to install Final Cut Studio 2 (Final Cut Pro 6) into Snow Leopard installed in Parallels, as a test.  It failed!
    Final Cut's installer suggested the following problems: not enough VRAM - 64 needed; 0 present (even though Parallels is set for more than the minimum required VRAM); and a missing video card.
    I attempted to work around this problem by using Pacifist to install FCS2, which worked, as far as the installation was completed.  However, when I attemped to run FCS2, a dialog box came up with indicated that same two problems and then it quit.

  • Final Cut Pro 2nd monitor not working properly?

    Been here before a long time ago, can't remember how it was resolved.
    Working in a new edit suite, FCP Studio.  Two new Samsung monitors (not my choice).  I want one to be my playback monitor.
    I set:
    Final Cut Pro > Audio/Video Settings
    > Digital Cinema Desktop Full Screen
    > View > External Video > All Frames
    But all I'm getting is a black frame on the 2nd monitor.
    They've also got one of those very flat alluminum keyboards ... where F12 becomes a sound control.  I'd love to know how I can change the function key to work as an FCP action / 2nd monitor toggling on and off.
    That's two questions.  Would be most appreciative of an answer for either.
    Ben

    Hey Andy,
    I did the first half of your suggestion, but not the second half.  Heading down to the studio this morning ... set up in a tiny white chapel looking out across the silvery North Atlantic ... and will try the second half of your suggestion.  Will also see if there are two graphics cards installed in the Mac Pro.  Will also check out the Window > Arrange in FCP (something I should have checked first off).
    I talked to a filmmaker who previously worked on the system, only to discover he never uses the second monitor as a full screen, but rather as a large 'bin'.  Interesting.
    If worse comes to worse and I can't solve it I suspect I could size the canvas window to super large and drag it over to the second monitor.
    Will post back when I've tried the latest suggestions ...
    Thanks you mucho guys,
    Ben

  • Final Cut Pro X Export not working

    Running Final Cut Version 10.0
    Just upraded to OS X Mavricks.
    Go to export project in Final Cut - nothing happens. It's as if I clicked on nothing. Tried using the shortcut command+E - also nothing.
    Export Audio works but not Export Movie.
    Tried exporting using Compressor but given that program is a $50 piece of garbage, that didnt work either.
    What gives???

    Ok, found it !
    First of all, update FCPX. Then, you will not found your project. It's normal, it was my problem. But, the answer is just here: you need to udpate you file too. It's explained here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/24788882#24788882
    Tell us if it's working.
