I am trying to import metadata from BI Admin tool 11g (offile- did not start BI services) but it always showing "Connection has failed". I tried ODBC 2.0, ODBC 3.5, OCI11g/10g with different schemas .. But still no luck... I checked all those from Toad and DSN Tests.. then all are successfulll... But in BI Admin Tool only I can not connect to those Datasources.. Where Iam wrong..? any workarounds would be appreciated...

Importing metadata from other catalogs

Can aperture import metadata from any programs except iPhoto? If not then is the only way to get data on old files into Aperture via embedded IPTC metadata? iView Media Pro and Extensis Portfolio can export metadata databases. I've got about 3000 keyworded photos in a Portfolio catalog - the keywords have not been embedded into the files and I was hoping to import the database into Aperture

Aperture imported basic metadata (Byline, State, etc.) that I had entered on some jpegs. However, it did not import anything on the thousands of DNG's I imported. Also didn't import anything one several test CRW+xmp sidecar files.
I'm guessing Aperture is taking the stance that the RAW files should never be modified... and if one follows that rule to the extreme, how would any RAW file have any IPTC metadata to import in the first place? So it doesn't bother to check for it, at least in my case.
I'm guessing any program that has a scripting interface that accesses metadata fields will be able to be scripted so one can transfer metadata. They basically work like this:
tell application Iview to get "city" metadata from "picture 1" and put this metadata in "city" metadata in "picture 1" in application Aperture.
This obviously isn't correct syntax, but there is no reason why you couldn't ask for a specific field of metadata from one program and store it in a completely different field, thus making up your own "custom" mapping. For example, you could ask for the "city" in one program and map it to the "Byline" in another program, if both programs expose these fields and the ability to read/write to them via Applescript.

Unable to Import metadata into RPD

Hi,
I have installed OBIEE 111.1.1.6 on the sever and OBIEe client tools on my local desktop.
now when i am trying to import metadata into my rpd by connecting to database it shows me the error "Unable to connect"
can you please let me know if i am missing any prerequisties on my local desktop or any settings that i need to actualy srt importing?
Please help me.
Thanks

If the call interface is OCI, enter a full connect string or a net service name from the tnsnames.ora file you set up within the Oracle Business Intelligence environment, in ORACLE_HOME/network/admin.
If you are using a native interface for a different database, enter the name of the database for that system.
If the call interface is ODBC, the data source name field displays a list containing all the User and System DSNs defined for ODBC on the local computer. Select the correct one for the data source to which you want connect.
If it is helpful, please mark as correct or helpful

Importing Metadata from PowerDesigner into OBIEE 11g

Hi, I've digging for any information without success so far. I'm a Co-op student, so forgive me if this a naive question. I have to import some metadata from our Data Modelling software: it has the descriptions in a business level to all facts, tables and important objects. I want to import this so the user can just hover the mouse on the Criteria objects and be aware of what that object really means.
I could do it manually through RPD, by just writing down on the description field what I wanted to show on the front-end. My research showed me that there is a XML file that I have to create, which I did, by extracting the information I need from PowerDesigner.
I really appreciate your help.

Hello,
You can put those 60 users in a group say OBIEE_Users and use this group in All Users Filter in WLS.
User Base DN : DC=CORP,DC=NET
All user Filter : (&(memberof=CN=OBIEE_Users,OU=BIUsers,DC=CORP,DC=NET)(cn=*)(objectclass=user))
User from name filter : (&(cn=%u)(objectclass=user))
Refer to this example on how its configured : http://paulcannon-bi.blogspot.com/2012/07/configuring-ldap-authentication-for.html
Hope this helps. Please mark if it does.

Problems when trying to import metadata from SQL server using OWB

Hi,
We are using Oracle 11.2 EE on AIX and OWB: 11.2. We are in the process testing Oracle Transparent gateway for SQL Server and have installed and configured it on a standalone windows server. We and have run the ORACLE_HOME\dg4msql\admin\dg4msql_cvw.sql on SQL Server side, in order to query the SQL-Server data dictionary. We have created a DB-link and can pull data correctly without any problems. When trying to import metadata in OWB Client on win xp, we have created a non-oracle SQL Server Module and are able to connect and start the import, but the displayed table names look strange and can not be imported. In front of every letter there is a square box, so instead of ADDRESS (the address table in the source system) , it reads "squarebox"A"squarebox"D"squarebox"D"squarebox"R"squarebox"E"squarebox"S"squarebox"S and subsequently the import fails with :API0413: Illegal name [<tablename>] Name with preceding and trailing spaces is not allowed.
The gateway have been configured with the following parameters:
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO=<connect string>
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL=OFF
HS_FDS_RECOVERY_ACCOUNT=RECOVER
HS_FDS_RECOVERY_PWD=RECOVER
HS_LANGUAGE=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252
Any ideas ?
This topic has been posted in the Heterogenious Forum as well, but as the problem is within OWB, I also post it here.
Thanks in advance!
Henrik
Edited by: he**** on Nov 15, 2011 1:29 PM

Henrik,
I've found other problems where OWB adds a space between all characters returned from SQL*Server which is what is happening in your case, although it is being displayed as a square box.
In one of these cases the problem was fixed by using the 11.2.0.2 OWB so would it be possible for you to try with that version ?
Also, as the problem is not with the gateway itself as you can select successfully using a database link then it would be better to follow up in the OWB forum -
Forum: Warehouse Builder
Warehouse Builder
as they will be able to help with the OWB side of the problem.

Import metadata from existing sidecars?

Aperture 3 can import metadata created in Bridge/Lightroom from sidecar files when importing images.
However is there a way to import the metadata contained in sidecar files for referenced images converted from an Aperture 2 library to an Aperture 3 library?
The metadata contained in sidecars is not picked up during the the conversion process. It is only recognised when importing.

William
My images, mostly Nikon raw NEF files go back to 2000. I added extensive metadata using Bridge and Lightroom before acquiring Aperture in 2008 (Aperture would not run on my previous G4). After an initial flush of enthusiasm I became a little disenchanted with Aperture and continued to do most of my work in Bridge/Camera Raw/Lightroom.
Now that Aperture 3 has bridged many of the gaps I am again flushed with enthusiasm. Considering the AP3 can read the metadata in existing sidecars on import, I have been hoping that there would be a way to read that same metadata after import as can be done in Lightroom with Save/Read Metadata.
I understand that adjustments will never be interchangeable between these programs.
Yes I have tried Metadata>Update from Master. That does not read the metadata in the sidecars.

Importing metadata from XMP sidecar files into Aperture 2.0?

Has anybody found a way to to do this? It appears that the metadata stored in the XMP sidecar files created by Photoshop and Bridge is ignored by Aperture when it imports images. That is pretty much a show stopper when it comes to using Aperture for asset management.

The XMP import capability is limited to metadata/IPTC type info - NOT ACR adjustments and such - those values are specific and make no sense to Aperture. This is true in reverse as well - ACR/Bridge/LR/NX2, etc, etc may pickup IPTC type metadata from XMP or embedded values but NO software will translate adjustment values from another piece of software that are stored ad metadata.

The connection has failed while importing metadata in RPD

Hi All,
Recently I start creating a repository (OBIEE 11g client version 11.1.1.3.0) in offline mode and I want to import metadata which failed by the error ‘The connection has failed’..
Kind Regards,
Mohan

Hi Mohan,
Solution:
1.Copy the tnsnames.ora from Oracle Database home (ORACLE_HOME\NETWORK\ADMIN\) to the following locations.
* \OracleBI1\network\admin (Example: C:\OBI\Oracle_BI1\network\admin)
* \oracle_common\network\admin (Example: C:\OBI\oracle_common\network\admin)
2.Set the TNS_ADMIN environment variable value with one of the copied locations in the step 1 in user.cmd or http://user.sh file depending on your OS.
This file will be found under
\instances\instance1\bifoundation\OracleBIApplication\coreapplication\setup
(Example : C:\OBI\instances\instance2\bifoundation\OracleBIApplication\coreapplication\setup)
Thanks,

How to export/import metadata from bw 7.0 to 7.4

Hi guys!
We want to move from BW 7.0 to BW 7.4 but the scenario we are considering is:
Installation of BW 7.4 in a new server without copying all the models of BW 7.0. At the beginning, we want to copy only a couple of models from 7.0 and keep BW 7.0 as productive server running in paralell.
I saw in a SAP Webinar this scenario is possible if the metadata of the objects are transported from 7.0 to 7.4 but they don´t explain how to do that.
Could you tell me how to copy the model metadata from 7.0 to 7.4?
Any other suggestion? or What is the best way to do that?
Thanx in advance.
Jesus Valero

Dinesh, Thank you very much for the answer.
If I'm understanding, what you are suggesting is to connect the transport system between bw 7.0 and bw 7.4 and then copy the objects betwwen bw version?
I'm trying of clarify because my basis team told me that connecting transport system between 7.0 and 7.4 is not possible but I can undestand the basis team answer due to lack of experience.
Or, What you mean is a kind of work around using transport system?
I really appreciate your help

Importing metadata from Microsoft Excel or Access to Adobe Bridge CC metadata

I'm trying to figure out how to batch import a substantial amount of metadata in Microsoft Excel or Access to the IPTC core fields in Adobe Bridge CC. I've seen the issue discussed, but many of the posts about it are six or seven years old. So here are the simplest statement of the questions:
1. Is it possible to export data from Excel or Access to XMP and then batch-import it in Adobe Bridge CC?
2. If it requires templates, are there commercial, shareware, or freeware templates that will achieve this?
3. If so, what are the links to those repositories?
4. Is there a set of step-by-step instructions to achieve this on PC and/or Mac?
5. What are the links to those instructions?
Thanks in advance for your help. I've used Bridge from CS1... but I've never used it for batch-importing to IPTC.

Well,
it works for me without problems.
Some information on my setup and what I did:
- my primary browser language is English (en-us)
1) Save the data in a file called hardware.txt:
SERIAL,HOSTNAME,ITEM_TYPE,BRAND,MODEL,OWNER,STATUS
AEP016136,d2vmrw61,Laptop,Dell,m71,Gary Cleary,Active
AEP016169,dhj3b71,Desktop,Dell,Dimension 4700,Unassigned,Active
AEP016170,cn-0g8432-64180-52p-1yts,Monitor,Dell,E193FP,Unassigned,Active2) Load the data (Load text data) into an existing table by uploading a file:
- File: hardware.txt
- Separator: , (comma)
Worked fine.
3) Load the data (copy /paste spreadsheet data into an existing table):
- Open the file hardware.txt in Excel and import it into the spreadsheet
- copy all three lines and paste them into the textarea in XE (the difference is that the columns are no longer separated by commas but by tabs)
Worked fine as well.
Please try the above mentioned steps and see whether you still get the error.

How to import metadata from Address Book on external hard drive to new laptop running OSX 10.8.3?

My old MacBook died a painful death. I retrieved the hard drive and have it in a portable enclosure that has a USB connection. I can see the old Address Book on it, but when I transfered the Address Book application to my new MacBook Pro running OSX 10.8.3, the application will transfer, but it won't open because it is not supported on the newer MacBook. I searched around the old hard drive for any files that could be related to the Address Book contact data. I found metadata files for each of my contacts. I can get the metadata to transfer to the new MacBook, but I can't seem to do anything with it.
I tried using Migration Assistant, doing it manually, trying to import the metadata using "import" feature on the new version of Address Book. Can't seem to find anything that works.
Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.

If you open a contacts database from an earlier version of OS X, the data should be imported automatically. Is that what you tried to do?
