How to handle images (or let say mimes)

Dear MDM Gurus,
I want to start a discussion on how to handle MIMEs in MDM best.
Szenario is MDM as a SRM Catalog System - Some million products(records) and as many mimes.
- Import or linking?
- What are the pros and cons of these two ways?
- If I link images can MDM Server deliver them or do I need a seperate Webserver?
- If I import them how will the DB Size extend?
- If I "only" link the does it make a difference while lookup at import?
Maybe some of you have more questions and hopefully some of you have a kind of best-practice help for us.
Best regards
Roman

Hi Roman,
Its a nice discussion you have started. According to me
Advantage of linking
1. You can store the millions of images in the separate machine so the disk space on which SQL Server is installed can be used to store other data.
Disadvantage of linking
1. It may take some time to load the repository or in accessing the MDM clients because system has to actually search the location and fetch the mimes where they are stored.
Advantage of Storing
1. Loading and Opening of MDM Clients time can be reduced since all the images are stored in the repository itself
Disadvantage of Storing
1. If there are millions of images as you have said then majority of drive space will be used by these mimes and hence we can create less MDM records
Note: Sounds, Videos when stored in the repository cannot be played directly from the MDM Data manager they are first saved some where then only we can play them while this is not the case with linking

  • What do you suggest how to handle images?

    Hello,
    I would like to develop a book administration program in web dynpro but I have no clue how to handle the images. There are several points I would like to take care about. The frontend is wd4a and the backend is abap. There will also be an iPhone App that connects via WebServices that also need the data and the images.
    What do you think is the best possibility to save the images?db via blob, file system, ...
    Are there examples how to upload the images via web dynpro and transfer it to the backend?
    Thanks a lot in advance,
      Vanessa

    Hello,
    I'd echo Neil's thoughts - definitely store your images in tables as they are transactional data. Creating a DB table with variable length data isn't difficult - just specify the datatype as rawstring.
    You can then easily read from the db and serve these images in image UI elements, I'm guessing the row repeater UI element is going to be very useful for you.
    Does sound like a good fun project!
    Cheers,

  • How to handle images stored /outside/ Aperture

    I am coming from a PC environment where my images were stored all over my hard drive in various folders and subfolders. I am part-way through organizing all of this in Aperture but I OFTEN find myself exporting images to folders on my desktop in order to upload them to FTP or edit them in Photoshop conveniently and as I move to working in something like an Adobe Suite that allows me to edit and link images I do see myself keeping images outside of Aperture.
    Can anyone help me out with how to manage this a little more practically (say by only keeping images on the desktop but not in the Documents Folder) and/or should I be trying to discipline myself down to keeping everything in Aperture? I find it relatively confusing to do it this way but am very interested in getting some advice on this.
    Thanks,
    Jon

    Jon,
    I used to have everything sorted with the top folder being 'Project 1', 'Project 2', 'Project 3', etc. with either all files in that folder, or sub-folders for each file type. This was pretty good, but eventually got out of hand once I had a couple hundred projects with all types of files in each folder and needed to find a specific file (say an Illustrator file I needed to work on).
    Now, I use the following structure for Adobe CS5 projects:
    Top level folder = 'Design Files'
    Second level folders = 'Photoshop Files', 'Illustrator Files', 'InDesign Files', 'Acrobat Files'
    Third level folders (inside each of the second level folders as needed) = 'Project 1', 'Project 2', 'Project 3', etc.
    This gives me all my PSD files inside one master 'Photoshop Files' folder divided by Project folders. If - for example - Project 1 has PSD files, AI files, IND files and PDF files, then there is a Project 1 folder under each of the second level folders for each program. This allows me easy access to either all files for a program by going to that folder, or I can run a dynamic search (smart folder) for a project and see all relevant folders for that project in the search results.
    The main reason I have it this way now is that I usually remember the file type (as mentioned above for an Illustrator file). I typically remember that I did an illustration, but can't remember the file name of the illustration or the project it went in for sure. My current structure shortens my search time considerably.
    Note - I can also use Bridge CS5 very easily for the Adobe CS5 files since it shows thumbnails of the actual file and I can visually search very fast that way.
    At home - with Aperture - I only hold the original images (pictures) that I started to work with. I don't keep any PSD, TIFF, PDF, PNG, etc. in the library. This is simply because Bridge is much better at showing those files with transparency if it exists, and Aperture stays a straight-forward image (picture) database for me.
    If I send an image to a plug-in or to Photoshop from inside Aperture, I do it for a specific purpose and then I complete the process and export it to one of the dedicated folders in Finder (typically to my Photoshop Files folder). If I really need to keep the layer work in a PSD file, then I will use the 'Save As' command from inside Photoshop to save out to a folder and then just trash the file Aperture sent to Photoshop. Although I have not had any real issues with Aperture holding PSD files in the past, I simply trust Adobe to handle their own files without relying on Apple's program to do it for me.
    As far as miscellaneous files (screenshots, scans, web icons), I really don't do many of those. I have a few scans which are not part of any project and just keep those in a two level folder (Art / Scans). For web icons, I would probably suggest going with the program you used for a folder (Photoshop Files?). Not sure what program or file type you are using for those (GIF, PNG - I don't work with web design so not real familiar with current practices for icon design for the web).
    For JPEG files, I use a second level 'JPEG files' folder for any JPEG's that are used in my design projects in a 'Project 1', 'Project 2', etc. folder (same as the other file types mentioned above). Although, I typically use PSD files as source files and then save out JPEG's on a case-by-case basis (similar to using Aperture as the source and exporting as needed).
    Since most of my design files are for InDesign projects, I complete the project by embedding all links in the document after having printed to PDF (and proof-reading prior to embedding). This protects against lost links if I need to work with the master file again for some reason. I can always place a new image or file in the document as needed and since I have a PDF of the file to send to collegues, the extra file size in the InDesign file after embedding is not a big deal.
    So, in summary; I use a top level folder (based on category; e.g., Design Files) and then organize by file type parent folders with dedicated project folders under those as needed. Works for the way I think.
    I hope that was somewhat clear.

  • How to handle images

    Hello,
    I am developing a little application with functions for a library.
    I would like to show a picture of the book in the book overview.
    What is the best practice to handle the image. Uploading it with the WD4A-GUI to the backend?
    Where would you save the images (frontend, backend,... ?)
    Thank you,

    hi ,
    save it as mime
    right click ur application and then click on create mime object.
    with Mime Objects u cn upload doc , jpeg, or giff files from our local system into the webdypnpro system .
    You can even try creating the MIME objects in webdynrpo abap .
    Right click on ur component->mime object->import
    In the transaction sicf/bc/webdynpro , u cn check your component name there you can view the mime objects created by you .

  • How to handle image files used in PDF forms

    With LiveCycle, I've created an interactive form for Help Desk-type requests, and the form works beautifully. I've tested it, and everything works. Show. Hide, Clear fields. And all the other behaviors I added with Action Builder.
    As a final design feature, on my local machine at work, I added a header image (which is in My Documents>My Pictures). I tested locally and uploaded the form to Sharepoint and tested from there, and from what I can remember, the form looked fine. The header was intact. So I kind of assumed the image was embedded somehow.
    So I brought the file home and opened it there, and -- Voila! -- no header image!
    What happened?
    Does the image file need to be uploaded and the path relative to the location of the file? To me, this doesn't seem to be a huge problem. More of an unexpected one. I can probably upload the image to someplace in Sharepoint and then set the image path in the XML.
    But I'd like to hear the experiences of those who have used image files in their LiveCycle forms.

  • Duplication issue related to photo stream, Moments, and how iPhoto handles images coming in from the stream.

    Pre-iOS 8 deleting photos from the stream was easy & comprehensive while within the 1000 pic/30 day window. Deletions affected ALL DEVICES, including the iPhoto Library. It just worked. This was controlled from the Cameral Roll.
    Now that the Camera Roll is back, the function described above wasn’t restored. Streamed images are copied to the Library and do not get removed as before when deletions happen from the Camera Roll or from the Streamed album.
    In iOS Moments LOADS of duplicate pairs appear as a result. One of each pair has a trash can and the other doesn’t. The trash can one informs the user that the photo will be deleted from the stream and all devices, but it does not delete the image from the Library on the Mac.
    Can we get the pre-iOS8 image management from Cameral Roll back without having to re-delete images from iPhoto Library on the Mac. Otherwise what’s the point of the photo stream?
    Mac Pro w/10.9.5
    iPhone 6 w/ iOS 8.1
    iPhoto 9.5.1 w/ 8052 images
    Using photo stream, but NOT iCloud betas

    Anything you save to the camera roll automatically gets put into the photo stream. You do not need to import and export to the computer as ckuan said. I have saved from email and the web and when they get saved they go into the photo stream automatically.

  • How does RH7 handle Images?

    Could someone please take a moment and tell me how RH7
    handles images? Does RH7 keep images in their location and just
    reference them...i.e. If I create an image folder on the server,
    will it just reference them from there or does it create a copy of
    the image and store them elsewhere?
    I have a very large help site and with multiple section, and
    we merge them all together. Each section has many images - with
    some images used across sections. I am trying to figure out the
    most efficient way to handle them. Based on the help here, I have
    decided that snippets will be the best option. However, in order
    for me to use them effectively I need to understand the underlying
    process. Also, does anyone have a better suggestion on how this
    could be done?
    Thanks in advance for the assist.

    Images must be in the project. When you import an image, it
    is copied to your project. It cannot be outside.
    Even with merged help, the images have to be within the
    specific project and that can mean duplication.

  • How to handle Pricing error " Y  "  Inactive because of subseque

    Hi,
    ZSAA is Basic price condition type, it determineds the value through alter.cal type as 100.00 usd, but it shows as
    ZSAA is "Inactive because of subsequent pricing".
    In the pricing screen, if we select the condtion details of ZSAA,
    the new screen branch out, in this under control data, we
    have below fields, in this Inactive field automatically says
    "Y" -  Inactive because of subseque
    Condition class,
    Cal.type
    Condi category
    Condi.control
    Condition origin
    Inactive
    Can any body tell me what is the issue? how to handle this erro

    hi,
    let me put it this way, ZSAA is deriving the value of 100 $ through alt calculation type based on a different condition,  for example Z123.
    the alternative cal type is doing some calculation based on the value fetched for Z123. Now there must be some other condition type in your pricing procedure which is more relevant to the sales transaction you are doing. Now obviously the price determined for ZSAA should no longer be applicable because you should not have two prices active at the same time for a given sales order.
    Let me try explain further, for example if there is net price condition availble in your pricing procedure. ZSAA determined some value and is active, but as soon as you enter value for this net price condition say ZNET, the ZSAA condition becomes inactive. Because after net price you dont need calculate any furhter discounts.
    Hope it helps.

  • How can I change (or select) what is being being used when I share, as the file cover. When I Share lets say "Master File" i want to select a frame that is used as the file cover. So when its on my desktop I see this image as the file icon.

    How can I change (or select) what is being being used when I share, as the file cover. When I Share lets say "Master File" i want to select a frame that is used as the file cover. So when its on my desktop I see this image as the file icon.

    I don't think Finder does this (I've tried).
    iTunes does though. Where you can set artwork or the "poster frame"...
    This may not be what you want but if it helps, I know 2 ways  do this is
    Open the video in QuicktimePlayer7 | View | Set Poster Frame (even then, you might need to save it as .mov (ie in a 'mov container').
    Drag the file into iTunes and set the artwork (as in http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/adding-album-cover-art-or-images-in-itunes .html)
    From there, iTunes will use that frame as the "poster frame" ie the photo/frame that shows when you browse your videos. Which is what you want, but limited to iTunes.
    When I do either of these above, the frame I set does not show when exploring files in "Finder" (or in the other Explorer tool I use called "Pathfinder").
    So it maybe, that exactly what you want, is not possible.

  • After I publish to a folder how do I get my website onto-lets say GoDaddy?

    So, lets say I'm finished creating the webpage. (I'm using iWeb '08) Now I publish to a folder, and I just recently got a GoDaddy account... So how do I go about doing the transfer from folder to my domain/GoDaddy.
    I know this may seem like a dumb question... but I've never done this before.
    Thanks in advance.

    CFojo,
    Welcome to the discussions! Your question is a good one.
    You will need an FTP client. I suggest using Transmit; there is also a list of ftp clients here.

  • How to handle large images?

    Hi,
    Does anyone know how to handle big jpg images (1280*960) so that they could be presented in a midlet.
    The problem is that the images requires so much memory that they can't be decoded to an Image object with Image.createImage method. One solution would be to extract thumbnail image from exif headers. Unfortunately at least images taken with Nokia 6680 don't contain thumbnail in exif headers.
    So the only solution seems to be to decode the byte presentation of the image and resize it before creating an Image object.
    Do anybody know any library for this or tips where to start?
    Br, Ilpo

    Hi,
    I think it is not possible. My application contains a file browser (which uses jsr-75). User can use the browser to select an image either from phone memory or memory card. After the selection I would like to present the selected image for that user can be sure it is the right image. The selected image will be then sent to the server side with some additional data for further processing (but that is another story).
    Now the problem is that for example with Nokia 6680 user can take images as big as 1280*960 and I can't present them anymore because of the memory restrictions. With 640*480 image there is no problem because I can create an image object and then use a simple algorithm to resize the image for presentation.
