Import of DIR-Originals

Hi,
could someone provide me information about the best way to import originals into a DMS?
The DIR will be created by a DOCMAS IDOC. From a migration-project i know that it's possible to send the original-content with the DOCMAS idoc (ALE). In my case the DOCMAS IDOC will be a File.
Thx for your support, regards martin

Martin,
One option is 3rd party software, can mass-load original files into SAP DMS to existing DIRs, add additional DIR metadata, build document structures (Materials, Doc2Doc links), and even link to other SAP objects (PM, PUR, SD, etc).
If you would like to know more about this, click my name and contact me for some info.

  • Can I rebuild iPhoto library by importing masters and originals?

    I upgraded to Mountain Lion and iPhoto 11 and subsequently lost most of the photos in my library, going through the same disastrous experience as many others posting here. All of the recommended methods of rebuilding the library have failed. At this point I'd simply like to rebuild my library by importing masters and originals from the Time Machine backup. I don't care about losing edits to photos; I basically want to start from scratch. Two questions: First, will this work? Second, will the photos still have their metadata (date, geolocation if available) when I import them?

    I have to admit that I haven't yet tried iPhoto Library Manager. I'm fairly certain the files are gone from my hard drive; my disk usage shows that 90GB has been freed up since my photos and videos were lost. Also, after multiple attempts to remedy the situation through iPhoto itself, I'd rather just take control myself.
    Oh, that raises another question: Will videos also be imported successfully via the method I asked about?

  • After importing from iPhoto, Originals are still in the iPhoto Library

    I have imported my iPhoto library in the Aperture but when I look to see where the originals actually reside I see that they are still saved in the iPhoto Library directory structure.
    How can I make sure that all the previous iPhoto pictures have the master copy in the Aperture?
    Please advise. Thanks.

    Be careful about deleting the iPhoto library. iPhoto supports videos and several image formats Aperture does not support. If you delete the library you will lose them. Aperture will tell you that there are items it could not import, but it will not tell you what they are!

  • After import into iPhoto, originals disappear and only thumbnails remain

    After importing photos into iPhoto, working on them and then closing iPhoto, when reopening iPhoto only the thumbnails remain and can't find the originals anywhere on the computer via a Spotlight. Ran Disk Utility and no problems found on HD. Have rebuilt the iPhoto Library. This has happened on multiple occasions.

    Here's a little more background on this problem. JPGs originally were imported from a CD and had camera given filenames, like 20110428-DSC_0118.jpg. After the import into iPhoto the application was closed. The next day when iPhoto was opened and any of the just imported photos doubled click on, a dialog box similar to this appeared that changed with the different file names:
    I did a little research and discovered that the camera that had given filenames were identical to those by a different group of photos from a different camera that already resided in the iPhoto Library! So I imported them again from the CD except this time I used the utility, Better Finder Renamer 8, to batch change the names to something completely different, like Mary_Spring_2011_Visit_001.jpg, and so on. Those were imported into iPhoto. iPhoto was closed and opened and everything was OK. The next day iPhoto was opened and the newly imported photos when double clicked, the same exact dialog box as above opened and the only newly named photos that could be found were the thumbnails. None of the original full-res images can be found doing a Spotlight search of the entire computer. So to answer your second question the same dialog box shows up. I'm confounded as to where they are going. Plus, why would the original filename that was changed be showing up in the dialog box?? That is why Disk Utility was run to see if there was any directory damage. But no problems were found.

  • Importing DocTypes, DIR's from DMS to EasyDMS

    Hi Gurus,
    I am New to EasyDMS. We have just installed Easy DMS 6.0 SP17 From SAP Market Place and Created Public and Private Root Folders
    Now We need to import all the document types and Its DIR's from SAP R/3 DMS to EDMS
    Kindly let me know how we can do that ?
    Thanks in Advance
    Palaniappan

    I agree with Pradeep's comment.
    Import functionality is not possible in Easy DMS. Its just an another user-friendly interface.
    If you want to you can use search functionality. Now onwards you can use Easy DMS for your daily activities.

  • Imported photos, deleted originals, then iphoto crashed and lost everything

    I imported photos from my iphone, deleted the originals (i never do this, but figured, it's a new year so i should start cleaning up my phone!), and then iphoto crashed and now the photos i imported are nowhere to be found! help!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. There's still a good chance that the photos are in the library but just not being recognized by iPhoto. Backup the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    Fix #2
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select last three options.
    Click to view full size
    Fix #3
    Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
    4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
    OT
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    NOTE: this is not the same as routinely backing up your entire iPhoto library folder to protect your photos. It only protects the loss of your organizational efforts that the database file contains.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

  • Managing imported photos and originals

    I have several thousand photos that I'd like to import into iPhoto 09. However, I'm concerned about the originals. I'd like to keep them and just have copies imported into iPhoto. Is that the default?
    Then, as time goes on, I'd still like to add new original to my non-iPhoto folder on my desktop (where they are now), and have copies added to iPhoto. That way, I’ll always have the originals as a backup. Plus, I sync these originals to an online source (using SugarSync) as a backup in case something happens to my computer.
    Bottom line, I like many of the iPhoto features and would like to start using them, but backup of the originals photos is my primary concern.
    Is there a web page somewhere that goes over the theory of managing photos? Or general comments of how to do this would be appreciated.

    However, I'm concerned about the originals. I'd like to keep them and just have copies imported into iPhoto. Is that the default?
    Yes. By default the will be copied to the Library on import.
    But why do you need to keep the originals - and that way use twice as much disk space?
    Also, copies of files stored on the same disk are not a back up. They’re just copies. They won't protect you in the case of disk damage, for instance...
    When you import an original to iPhoto it makes a +byte by byte+ of the file. It's identical in every way. These are simply stored in the Finder - just like your files are right now.
    Are you concerned about the Package File format of the Library? With iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is now a Package File. This is simply a folder that looks like a file in the Finder. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
    Want to look inside? Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Standard Warning: Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
    If you're worried about back-up - and you're absolutely correct to be - then simply back up the Library, and protect everything.
    If you really want to go the way you describe: then simply use the Finder or Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) to move the files from your Camera to wherever you want to store them, and then import them to iPhoto.

  • ALE DIR originals to different content server

    We have a production content server and a test content server attached to our production SAP system and Test SAP system respectively.  The storage category names are the same in both systems.  I need to ALE selected DIRs with attachments from the production system to the test system.   I am able to ALE the DIR from the production system to the test system using bda5, but an ALE error results on the test (target) system during ALE processing because the originals being stored in a different content server, I'm guessing.  I have no problem ALEing DIRs with attachments between systems sharing the same content server.
    Is it possible to ALE a DIR with originals from one system to another if both systems use a different content server?  If so, how is this done?
    Thanks for the help,

    Hi Joe,
    Have a look into the document in below link. It has very useful information on ALE configuration for DIRs.
    Hope this answers your requirement.

  • How to import Originals only from iPhoto?

    Hello! I'm thinking about to switch from iPhoto to Aperture.
    I'd like to import only the "originals" from iPhoto 08, let all the modified files alone, just to kind of start from scratch with post processing afterwards if needed (this is a) to avoid the doubled files, b) to get better pictures because of better software and knowledge).
    I read alot in this forum - wow, thanks for all the shared wisdom! I did not find the answer to my question.
    One more question: Can I import the "events" from iPhoto so, that they stay sorted the same way??
    Thanks for any help!
    Don

    As a workaround I set all pictures in iPhoto back to original, then imported the whole library. So far for me the question is answered

  • IPhoto images missing in Edit window after importing iPhoto albums folder

    A friend of mine with new macbook tried to import her iPhoto images from an external hardrive. She move it to her user photo album and then i believe she tried to point to it after launching iphoto. She told me there were some options windows popping up and she does not remember what they said but the current result is that many of her photos do not appear when she clicks on the thumb nails to edit them: said there is a grey field with a questin mark.
    My thought was to somehow repoint to the file or dump the .plst file.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you,
    todd

    Todd
    The question mark shows up when the link between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window loses the location of the file it points to.
    The most common cause of this is User activity in the iPhoto Library Folder. It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss.
    As your friend now sees.
    Unless your friend nows exactly what changes she has made, I'm afraid the best way to fix this is to start again, importing from your originals folder.
    There are comprehensive instructions for moving the iPhoto Library Folder in the Help, or if you need more you can most on here.

  • Re-importing Configuration Objects

    experts!
    I have imported Configuration Objects from .tpz files in Integration Directory. Because of those objects where unable to activate, I did a reject change and all objects were gone. When I try re-import from the same .tpz file, it is not showing in the file list. The .tpz file is there in the import folder of directory.
    Please help me to re-import objects from .tpz file.
    thanks
    nikhil

    Hi,
    Here we have to consider some points while Exporting & Importing the .tpz files.
    1)Once you export that configuration objects, the tpz file will be created at Export DIR.
    2)From there we have to copy that file into Import DIR.
    3)Once You import the tpz file from Import DIR or faild to Import DIR means those files will be moved to Imported Files DIR.
    4) Now if we are looking to import those again means , they will not be available to import in ID.
    So we have to copy that file again from the Export DIR and Paste it inImport Folder

  • Aperture import iPhoto library, no duplicates

    Merging iPhoto libraries into a single Aperture library risks duplicate images. Multiple iPhoto libraries might contain the same image.
    According to the online manual there is a command 'File > Import > iPhoto Library' that would allow the 'Do not import duplicates' option. This command does not seem to exist in the current version of Aperture.
    This may be a way to do this -
        Right or control click on the iPhoto library to 'Show Package Contents'. Move the Masters folder out of the package.
        In Aperture, click the Import arrow icon and navigate to the Masters folder. This  allows selection of the 'Do not import duplicates' checkbox.
        Then perhaps run Duplicate Annihilator on the Aperture library. Use the option to label any duplicates and originals. Flag the originals and search for keywords 'original' and 'duplicate' to verify.
    Any comments on this - will it work?

    Merging iPhoto libraries into a single Aperture library risks duplicate images. Multiple iPhoto libraries might contain the same image.
    The recommended procedure to merge iPhoto libraries using Aperture is described here:
    Aperture 3.3: How to use Aperture to merge iPhoto libraries
    You will need the current Aperture 3 version - at least Aperture 3.3. and open all your iPhoto libraries in iPhoto 9.3 or later at least once.
    Merging libraries is preferable to simply importing the "masters" folder - this way you will be able to save all your work - edits, tagging, albums, etc.
    If you move the "Masters" folder from your iPhoto library, you may corrupt the library, and by importing only the originals and not the edited versions, all your work done in iPhoto will be lost.
    If you have Duplicate Annihilator, you can still run it afterwards to check, if duplicates are remaining after merging.  The "Merge" will only look for perfect duplicates - similar filename, similar size.

  • Originals tab details

    I would like the details to be populated on the Originals tab and have verified that the 'content version' is checed off for all my document types, and it is...is there something else that needs to be done/configured in order for the Status Txt / User / Date/Time to show up?
    Edited by: Kristy Nevens on Jul 22, 2010 10:52 PM

    As indicated in the earlier threads on similar discussion, this is not part of the standard behavior. However, if wish to add a user name,time,date and short text for each original in your DIR,then this can be achieved using  the 'STAMP' feature of redlining.
    Path:>DIR>Originals>Tools>Redlining>Enter layer name>Choose category(defined in SPRO)>Redlining tools>Select STAMP feature(indicated by a stamp icon).
    Hope this helps.

  • Aperture - Importing iphoto events - original & edited copies

    Sorry if this has been asked before!
    I'm going through each event in iphoto tossing out the bad photos and editing the good ones. Once I've finished with each event I'm trying to move them into Aperture one by one and then deleting the event from iphoto.
    I'm doing this by going to File - Import - Show iphoto browser and importing the event as a new project. Problem is that every time I look at my new project I have two copies, the iphoto original and iphoto edited.
    Obviously I only want one copy of each photo (the edited version). I therefore have several questions...
    1) If I delete the iphoto original version what are the consequences?
    2) I wish the library to use a 'managed' system rather than a referenced system. Will this still happen if I move the events one by one (it doesn't give me as many options as if I were to move the entire library, which I'm not ready to do yet)
    3) The only way I've found to stop two copies importing is by copying the events from iphoto to the desktop and then importing them to Aperture - does this cause degradation of the photo?
    Thanks in advance,
    Janna

    Janna,
    the most efficient option to move from iPhoto to Aperture is indeed to import the whole iPhoto Library into Aperture at once: This way you will preserve most of the work you invested in setting up your iPhoto Library (albums, books, slideshows, keywords) and can avoid to import duplicates for many of your images, without having to decide if you want to keep the original or the edited version.
    One of the big advantages of Aperture is the lossless workflow: When you edit an image the original master will remain as it is, and Aperture will only store the steps necessary to render the final version of the image - it does not actually create the edited image until it is needed on export. So you can have many different edited  versions of the same image without needing much extra space. When you import your complete iPhoto lIbrary at once (after weeding it out), then Aperture will try to import your iPhoto originals and the edited versions exactly like this, as proper master image - version pairs, so that you keep your iPhoto edits, but can always revert to the original master, in a space saving fashion.
    The way you are importing now forces you to decide if you rather want the edited version or the original master, and if you decide that you want both, then you will need twice as much storage space.
    1) If I delete the iphoto original version what are the consequences?
    You will never be able to revert to the original if you find that you made a mistake when editing your images; or when better algorithms/ raw processing become available. If you only want to keep one of the images I'd strongly suggest to keep the original and not the edited version.
    2) I wish the library to use a 'managed' system rather than a referenced system. Will this still happen if I move the events one by one (it doesn't give me as many options as if I were to move the entire library, which I'm not ready to do yet)
    No proble, even if you import initially als managed master files, you can always relocate the managed images to a folder of your choosing afterwards and thus turn your library into a referenced library.
    3) The only way I've found to stop two copies importing is by copying the events from iphoto to the desktop and then importing them to Aperture - does this cause degradation of the photo?
    That will depend on your export settings. If you export the original you will not loose any quality on export, but exporting the edited versions will depend on the quality setting for the versions.
    If you import your whole iPhoto library at once, Aperture will mirror the structure of your iPhoto Library; iPhoto events will be mapped to projects, and you will keep your albums, books, etc.
    All your work you are doing now to prepare for your transit you could do as easily in Aperture and the problems you asked about could be avoided.
    Good Luck and welcome to Aperture!
    Regards
    Léonie

  • Re-imported Library

    I had to re-import my iTunes library as yesterday it was suddenly empty... but now all my mobile apps do not appear.
    As with my entire library yesterday, all the music, apps, videos appear in the itunes music folder... but despite copying the library to my desk top and re-importing my apps are still missing.
    How can I get iTunes to see them when they are all sat there??? Hope somebody knows??? Thanks!

    It sounds like the database is damaged and can't be repaired. Not sure what you mean by the iPhotodata folder but if you mean the folder named Data that's inside the library then all that contains are the thumbnail files for the library. They are not needed as the thumbnails are recreated when you import the photos.
    You'll have to start over with a new library. If you create a new library and import just the Originals folder from your problem library you will get all of your photos in the same Events that they were in in the old library.

Maybe you are looking for
