Images ..... Image Manager Vs Data manger

Hi All,
would like to know the how Image manager and Data manager are connected........pls clarify
ex. If I upload an image thru Image manager........perform some actions on the image, will this image be available when I log in thru Data Manage? If yes, how can I see this thru data manager.
pls explain.
regards,
VV

Hi Venu,
Image manager is an Exclusive client to work with Images associated with master data within SAP-MDM.
Although you have the featute of uploading Images in MDM Console and working on them in the MDM Data manager client.
The number of enrichments you can do on the images and the extend to which you can develope the images are few.
So MDM has provided the MDM Image manager to work with Images in a more detailed fashion.For this you will have to install the Image Manager client separately and work with it.
It will be more useful when you are using the master data as a catalog item with images attached with them.
Hope It Helped
Thanks

Lightroom image management - ready for professionals?

Hi
I have a client, which is doing professional gardening photography for various magazines in this topic. Her business ranges from magazine reports about individual gardens to delivering single images to different publishers as requested (for example by flower type, color etc.). The main thing is that her image portfolio isn't organized so much in individual shoots or contracts. An image can be sent to many publishers at any time. She needs to kepp track of this. She needs to know, which image has been published when and where.
Before moving to digital recently, she kept track of here jobs with cumulus, which had more database capabilities, but much less possibilities in image adjustment. Shooting only raw with a Canon 1 series camera, she choosed Lightroom as here image editing and managing tool. Beeing pleased with the friendliness of the user interface and many of its image editing and managing capabilities, she (actually we) are astonished, that even in a version 2 it is still not really possible to keep track of what happens to the images in a professional environment (despite the claim of Adobe that the product is made for professionals).
In essence the program isn't really capable of managing image data, which has a one to many relationship to the image (i.e. the instances of cases an image is sent to a customer). We experimented with virtual copies, which can carry individual metadata, collections (which cannot carry metadata) or storing the required data in the large description field. None of these possibilites were really satisfying. The most promising solution in using virtual copies, ended up in a maintenance nightmare, because it was too easy to forget, where to do which data management (at the master raw file or at the virtual copy).
Then, I learned that with Lightroom 2 there is a possibility to extend metadata, but, unfortunately with the usual limitation of not supporting one to many data (in the SDK-documentation called "spreadsheet type data"). The rest of the SDK documentation did not reveal any other helpful way of solving the problem as the SDK deals mainly with export plugin programming or web stuff, which is of no use to the client. It is rather disappointing that Lightroom's extensibility is still so limited. Where is the programming interface, that allows the development of complete new modules?
Given the slow pace, Lightroom development takes (I can expect that "breakthrough" extensions to the SDK will take even longer), I guess that my client can wait for another 3 or 5 years until anything close to true image management will come up.
So we have to look for some intermediate solutions. Whereas other software (expression media, idimager, cumulus) may have better database capabilities, they lack in raw editing completely and are often more awkward to use. Therefore, I would like to ask the community here, how they handle the tasks described above with Lightroom or with other tools? Perhaps we have overlooked a Lightroom capability?
One thing I thought of is to develop a special keyword hierarchy for contracts, but this also would not allow, all the images tracking needed.
Any ideas? I guess there aren't any plugins, which can deal with one to many data.
Kind regards
Thomas

Actually, we haven't ruled out keywords yet, in fact, at the moment it seems to be the only realistic possibility. However, I wonder if a growing keyword hierarchy can become unwieldy at the end, so I am sceptical, if this idea would deliver.
In general, I think that Lightroom should more move into the direction of beeing a platform for other vendors. The limitation to web stuff and export solutions isn't enough. I hope to see third party vendor modules, eventually one which provides more professional image management and tracking capabilites, exploring the fact that Lightroom has a database underneath it.
I would like to see a DxO raw conversion module or a lens correction module, fields where I think Lightroom and ACR are still not the best in its class (I think LightZone and DxO are the better raw processing engines).
Unfortunately, I do not see Lightroom going much into this direction. Probably this is already too late for the version 3 release, due in 2010 (?), so we need to wait until v4 (in 2012 ?) until the situation improves?
I believe many customers (especially professionals with precious time) need a fully integrated system, which can do image management and image adjustment at the same time. Lightroom is the right platform for it, if Adobe let it be.
Kind regards
Thomas

MDM Image Manager Export variants?

Hi, another question from a newbie.
I try to import pictures via API to the Image Manager. (This should work, but i don't know yet how to....) After that step i want to create the variants by the API too ( and i don't know how to do it, too).
My question is now:
Can i export these created image variants and save them anywhere?
Thanks alot for your help!!!!!
Best regards,
Frederik Hopt

Frederick,
Just to expand on Melanie's answer. You can export images out just as she described, through the Data Manager.
You cannot import or export images through the Image Manager. Images must be loaded/exported through the Images table in the Data Manager and then the variants are created through the Image Manager. I'm not sure on how to use the API to do either of these.
Thanks,
Tim

Errors while rebuilding library: Master images found in data folders.

After an upgrade that wreaked havoc on my iPhoto library, I'm now using iPhoto Library Manager to rebuild the library based on a recommendation by Terence.
Out of 5000+ photos, the error log showed about 360 missing images. But when I searched inside the iPhoto library package, I found virtually all of the supposedly missing images, sometimes in what appeared to be the correct place, and sometimes in data folders. (And yes, the images in the data folders were the full-size images, not thumbnails.)
Two questions: Is there some known issue that would scatter image files into the wrong folders like this? And is there some way to have either iPhoto or iPhoto Library Manager seek and import out these misplaced images? When I did the rebuild, I selected the "scavenge" option, but that obviously didn't find everything.
Thanks.

No - iPhoto has no ability to move an image nor does IPLM
No idea how you situation occured - it has never been reported here - most like is user action but no way to know
and no neither iPhoot nor IPLM can find and import those imagesI sugget going back to the backup from before the upgrade and looking at the library - if things are in the right places - rebuild the older library with IPLM and then upgrade it

Remote system image management

This is more of an image management than a package management question but the appropriate forum was read-only.
I'm looking into possibly using zen for managing software on an embedded system, but I have some requirements that I would like to know if zen is capable of handling.
The target system is a dual boot linux box. There are 2 bootable partitions, each with a different software version. I need to be able to upload and install a linux boot image to the non-active partition and update grub to allow access to the newly unpacked image. The user can then reboot into the other partition to activate the new software. If there's a problem they can reboot back into the previous version.
We've done this with home grown tools before but there is a desire for better integration with enterprise level management tools.
I'm not set on handling this exactly as described, so if Zen can manage something similar I would be interested in knowing how and would consider adapting our procedure to work with Zen.

How do I use copyprofile, image manager and create a wim file to Sysprep a reference Windows 8 computer.

Im trying to deploy a reference machine (configured) to other machines (exact or close image) with different hardware.
I have successfully used sysprep in out of the box, generalise, shutdown mode although i havent tried to deploy this to another device. Unfortunately it doesnt copy the profile to default.
I understand that I have to create an answer file using image manager based on that image, save it to a usb drive and attach this in the sysprep command line when sysprepping it.
My problem is I dont know how to easily capture an image of windows 8 into a wim file so that i can add this into image manager to create a answer file. Im also not sure what I have to do in image manager, is it a simple matter of creating and saving
the answer file or do i have to configure it to copy the profile specifically (theres only one account anyhow).
I also want to know if i have to attach the drivers or are all the standard drivers put into the sysprep image as standard. I would like the machine to be an exactly replica, same as doing a clone (but with the drivers for the new machine installed
so it will boot) same as doing a clone and then repair? If thats possible.
Any specific instructions on this would be helpful. I have read the microsft links but they are somewhat confusing.

I know this is a very late response but I thought I'd post for others who search.
The easiest way to create the .wim file is via WinPE, this guy's two YouTube videos explain the entire process in detail -

Here's a quick rundown from my notes:
WINPE

Trying to Create a Catalog file using WSIM (Windows System Image Manager)

I have been looking online for a solution to htis problem for days and come up with nothing so any help would be amazingly helpful.
I have created a Windows 8.1 image which I would like to role out to all users within my company but when trying to create a catalog file I am getting an erorr message saying "Windows SIM was unable to generate a catalog." It says "Mounting

The one image that did work (LiteTouchPE_x64.wim) was from the OS I imported to Microsoft Workbench but the components are different to any that I have seen online when looking on how to do this.
I have made sure that the architecture is x64 and tried from ISO files I have on the system already but get the same error.
This is the first project I have been involved in and only ever done IT support before this.
Thanks for your help in advance.

When I create a calendar, in iphoto 8, I had an information pane lower left corner with date and time of the picture. Can it possibly be that the iphoto developers forgot about that in iphoto 9? This was very helpful when placing images according to date.

Today I updated to the latest iphoto version. The update itself went smooth and nice as one is used to from Apple. But when I wanted to finish my already started calendar, I have encountered two problems. The first is that I can't view the aperture library anymore directly from iphoto. Instead I have to open the iphtoto library in aperture but then my calendar isn't there. So now I have to copy images back and forth. No problem.
However, the old iphoto had a small information area in the lower left corner which was very nice to place images on an exact date. This seems to be gone...?? Really? How am I supposed to sort images according to date and time when I have to back to the library view every time? That's not very convenient..Or am I missing something?
Thanks for ANY help!
Patrick

The first is that I can't view the aperture library anymore directly from iphoto.
THat is exceeding strange since iPhoto '08 could not open or share an Aperture library - that ability was first introduced in iPhoto '11 - with the latest version of iPhoto and or Aperture you can open the same library with either application - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5043
In the current version of iPhoto the photos are sorted by date in the film strip - I've not recently done a calendar so do not remember the specifics -

System Image Manager

Where can I download the Windows System Image Manager?
I want to setup a preinstallion image and I need to generate an answer file but I need the SIM.

WSIM is part of the Windows Automated Installation Kit (WAIK). Download it here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=c7d4bc6d-15f3-4284-9123-679830d629f2&DisplayLang=en

Image Management System

Is it possible to employ photoshop album starter edition as an image management system for our College staff? The system would require to be searchable over out Intranet and contain many images.

It depends exactly what you want to be able to do. I doubt very much whether you could really get the functionality you'd need, as it's not was PSA SE 3 was designed for.
The paid-for versions have slightly more flexibility, but they are not designed to be multi-user. There are other products designed for such purposes, but they tend to be a little costly.

What/Where is the 32-bit version of Windows System Image Manager?

I'm running into the problem described as follows in the WAIK documentation: "Windows SIM fails to create a catalog for a 32-bit Windows image from a 64-bit version of Windows SIM. To workaround this issue, use the 32-bit version of Windows SIM to
create catalogs for your Windows images."
Question: Where is the 32-bit version of Windows SIM? I can only find a single download for "The Windows® Automated Installation Kit (AIK) for Windows® 7"
Or are the 32-bit tools included in that version? If so, how do I use those instead?

Hi,
The issue should occurs when you install the WAIK on a 64bit Windows 7 machine.
You need install WAIK on a 32bit machine.
Different binary versions of Windows SIM cannot create catalog files for some Windows images of different architecture types. We recommend using the
32-bit version of Windows SIM to create catalog files because this version can create catalogs for all Windows image architecture types. The following list describes the Windows SIM architecture types and catalogs that can be created for each Windows
image architecture type.
x86 Image Manager. Can
create catalogs for x86, x64, and Itanium-based Windows images.
x64 Image Manager. Can
create catalogs only for x64 Windows images.
Itanium-based Image Manager.
Can create catalogs only for Itanium-based Windows images.

Insertion of image in the data base - Help-me!!!!

hello for all..., Well, somebody has some example of insertion of image in the data base saw upload, using JSP (Scriptlets)?
or some example that I can insert in the bank the name of the image, and the image in a directory!???????
Thank�s!

if u r using sql server then u can define a column as TEXT and insert the file as binayr data, along with that u can store the file name.
While retirving u can creat a fileiputstream and read the binary data and displya the image in the browser.
Another way is to use upload servlet and store the image files in the server hard drive and store the image name and path in datbase .

Upload/Insert PDF with Image Manager

I used to be able to insert a PDF and MP3 file through the Image Manager within the Item Description area but for some time have not been able to. I had asked the question in the old forums to no resolve. I've tried multiple sites from multiple browsers on both Mac and Windows but same issue.
What I do:
1.) From within any webpage/web app item description text area, I click on the Image Manager icon (little picture with sun and mtn. in the toolbar above the text area) and the Image Manager opens up.
2.) Now the Image Manager DOES allow me to upload both PDF and MP3 files onto the server from here (which is good). Then I go to the list and find the file on the server, I'll select the file and then click on "Insert" but the Image Manager just closes and nothing is inserted into the Item Description area.
This had worked for many years and like I said I can't get it to work in any testing scenerio. Same issue everytime when inserting, nothing gets inserted. The only alternative is manually inserted the href into the HTML but several of my clients have difficulty with this and it used to work before.
I know it's been stated that the Literature/Media Module is how you handle files but this is way more cumbersome then it should be and the way I and my clients used to do it through the Image Manager worked great. Any help or clarification would be great. I can't even find if this is a feature done away with. Thank you for the help.

Tersieff,
I know you mentioned it had worked for your over the years. However I would recommend using the either the file manager or better the media downloads to upload and manage your media files. I see that it would come in handy to be able to select the file through the image manager, but I don't think it's working for media files other than images. Using the media downloads you will be able to provide a download link to this file, the downside is that you will have to manually enter the module for each media download within the item description.

Prime Infrastructure 1.2 - Software Image Management

Good Day,
I have some issues with CPI 1.2. I've tried to Import Images from Cisco.com through Software Image Management
for test purposes by using my credentials. But it has finished success just a twice. Other attempt hadn't any result.
Then I try to choose Image for my test 3750E switch, sometimes I have error message like bellow:
After I choose another image and return to first that I need, and press <Submit>, I have a message that "Image collection job CCO Image Collection Job is Scheduled Successfully":
I wait some time and refresh, but I don't see any new Images. The same problem exist then I try Import Images from connected Devise. I use Shedule Start Time - Now.
Also, I can't view any information about Image in Device Work Center:
Any ideas, guys?

I'm having the same issue. I'm thinking there are still a lot of bugs in PI that Cisco needs to work out. LMS is still the better option for now in managing your switching environment. I know that Cisco hopes to role all device management under the umbrella of PI, but they still have some bugs to workout IMO.

LMS Software Image Management - Telnet failure

Hi all,
I had a problem with Software Image Management for the upgrade of a switch.
It seems that at the end of the upgrade, CiscoWorks was unable to save the configuration with telnet.
Yet, telnet seems to be ok because CiscoWorks manages to connect to the switch at the beginning of the upgrade.
