Importing an external database of images into BC

Hello,
Is it possible to upload from an external intranet system to BC? I have a client with a database of images on their own intranet which they would like to upload/merge into the BC site we are building for them without having to go through the laborious process of loading them one at a time into what ever web app/gallery we will be using . They have asked the following -
"Are you able to write import scripts to populate content if we schedule an export to ftp/web service etc?.
All the data is stored in SQLServer and interfaces/reporting have been done in c# asp.net/Delphi.
The only thing we do not have is Image attachment for the equipment (this is a manual process on the existing CMS) but all other details are in SQLServer.
Depending on how your system can be manipulated we can automated some sort of data to send to it."
This is a bit beyond my level of understanding/ability in BC but am happy to make it work if I know what I am doing. Is what is being asked possible? I know I can import a customer database into the CRM system, can I do something similar with images being key?

One-time import from external database - best practices/guidance

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if there was any sort of best practice or guideline on importing content into CQ5 from an external data source. For example, I'm working on a site that will have a one-time import of existing content. This content lives in an external database, in a custom schema from a home-grown CMS. This importer will be run once - it'll connect to the external database, query for existing pages, and create new nodes in CQ5 - and it won't be needed again.
I've been reading up a bit about connecting external databases to CQ (specifically this:http://dev.day.com/content/kb/home/cq5/Development/HowToConfigureSlingDatasource.html), as well as the Feed Importer and Site Importer tools in CQ, but none of it really seems to apply to what I'm doing. I was wondering if there exists any sort of guidelines for this kind of process. It seems like something like this would be fairly common, and a requirement in any basic site setup. For example:
Would I write this as a standalone application that gets executed from the command-line? If so, how do I integrate that app with all of the OSGi services on the server? Or,
Do I write it as an OSGi module, or a servlet? If so, how would you kick off the process? Do I create a jsp that posts to a servlet?
Any docs or writeups that anyone has would be really helpful.
Thanks,
Matt

Matt,
the vault file format is just an xml representation of what's in the
repository and the same as the package format. In fact, if you work on
your projects with eclipse and maven instead of crxdelite to do your
work, you will become quite used to that format throughout your project.

How can Import Mysql my database and Table into website -

Hi,
friend i am using CS3 ,i made all need tables in database ,I need to know
how can import that database /table into website.
I know in domin there is admin Mysql inside i have found impotr/export/ but
when I click import i do not know where my database/table been save to import it

If all you are trying to do is change an existing tablepace from a single datafile to multiple datafiles, then a simple import will work fine. Just create the tablespace in the new database with multiple files, then do the import normally.
If you want to move segments into different tablespaces, or change the names of the tablespaces, then you will need to precreate the tables before importing. Then, do the export with indexes=N and constraints=N. Run import with the resulting file, then re-create the constraints and indexes in the new tablespaces.

I imported over 4000 hi-res images into imovie. Preview screen is black.

I just imported 4774 images with dimensions of 3264 × 1832 (pretty huge, I know). After the 3.5 hours it took to import, the preview screen was dark, and only about 1/3 of the image thumbnails worked (the first third). I moved on anyway, and made all of the images .1 seconds long (it's for a time lapse if you hadn't guessed). So I exported the movie, and the final .mov file was still black. Did I break iMovie? My computer has 8gb of ram and is running on a SSD, so I don't think my computer is the problem.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Did you by any chance upgrade your Mac OS from version 10.6 (Snow Leopard) to 10.7 (Lion) during the time you were working in iMovie on all these projects?
If not, start by deleting the iMovie Preferences file.
Go to the Desktop
Hold down the Option key and choose the Go Menu > Library
Go to Preferences > com.apple.iMovieApp.plist
Move the .plist file to the trash and restart iMovie
See if the Project files react any differently. Failing that try doing a Repair Disk Permissions:
Restart the Mac, hold down the Option key continuously until 2 hard drive icons appear
Choose the Recovery Volume as your startup disk and let it run until you see the Desktop
Choose Disk Utility from the Recovery Menu
Run Repair Disk Permissions in Disk Utility
Reboot the Mac and when you see the Desktop appear launch iMovie
See if the Project files are the same or different. Next step after this is to one at a time take the Project folders out of users/me/movies/imovie projects. Move one to the desktop and start iMovie. Try skimming the projects that acted up recently. Moving one project at a time might help isolate which project may be causing problems. You can also place project folders back in their original location after doing this testing and iMovie will recognize them on the next relaunch. It won't hurt anything.

Incorrect colors after importing a Canon XTI RAW image into LR

I've been using LR for about a week now and love it. However, it does a poorer job of rendering RAW images (and therefore also exporting to JPG) than Canon's Digital Photo Professional. LR image have a sickly yellow+green for skin tones vs. Canon's images, which are more Red.
I've tried every combination of compensating for this by twiddling with white-balance settings, Hue, Saturation etc. but have been unsuccessful in getting the images to look as gorgeous as Canon's Digital Photo Pro does out-of-the-box. That's, of course, extremely frustrating since I like LR's features so much better. Help! Has anyone solved this? I've seen similar postings on various web sites (eg. www.dpreview.com), but no one seems to have a solution yet!
Thanks.

Yes, I've tried various suggested solutions in this forum and others. The problem is that so far they have all been one-of solutions. ie. if I spend about 30+ mins on a given picture, I can make it look like what Canon's Digital Photo Professional does right off the bat. Additionally, the presets that I've seen recommend only seem to work for a given lighting condition. When the light is even slightly different, the resulting preset processed LR image ends up over-corrected or generally looking unappealing.
Here is an example that shows I'm still struggling with this issue. Here are examples of pictures: http://public.fotki.com/eshwars/lr-issues/ All I did to get the JPG image was the following:
1. Opened the CR2 file in DPP, "Convert and Save" with Image Quality=10, Output Resolution=350 dpi. Output image is named: DPP_20070408_4038.JPG
2. Imported and opened the very same CR2 file in LR. Used "Export Photos" to JPG. Image quality=100, Color space=sRGB, Resolution=350dpi. Output image is named: LR_20070408_4038.jpg
3. I tried "compensating" for LR based on suggestion in another forum by modifying the Camera Calibration settings in LR. Hue=-40, Saturation=+10. I've tried other values as well, but it just doesn't look as good as DPP does by default. Output image is named: LR_20070408_4038_compensated.jpg
I would greatly appreciate some pointers that does not require me to custom-fixup every image.
The editing capabilities of LR are wonderful (!), but if the end-result simply looks not-so-pleasing for Canon RAW images, it simply wouldn't be practical to use for Canon users. :(

HT4489 Import of External Database Contacts via iCloud for PC

I am running iCloud for PC and am wanting to import contacts from my database on to my iPhone 5s and the database can export as excel or .vsd format. Can someone please advise how the .vsd contact file can be imported via iCloud as I get message saying vcard cannot be imported due to it containing incorrect fileds?
thanks,

iCloud supports .vcf files, only,
.vsd is a Visio file format.

Importing external images into shared components

Hi,
I need to use a UP&DOWN arrow image "GIF" files in one of my portal hierarchy component.
I could not locate these type of up&down arrow gif files in images direcftory of shared components.
However left and right arrows are available, but I need up&down arrows.
How can I import a externally created "GIF" file into images folder of shared components.
Any ideas/pointers are appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Surya

You can add the image (store it in wwdoc_document$) and then refer to it using the /docs/??.gif method. Or , add it to a folder
and then refer to it. One piece of unsolicited advice: why don't you store it on the file system. In my experience, the image is
retrieved a lot faster, than when in the db (and you avoid the security checks that the Portal makes)

I just imported some images into a folder in LR 2.6 (first time) & they don't show.

I just upgraded from LR 1.x to 2.6. I imported some of my RAW images into a specific folder (800 of them) and they showed up fine, right where I wanted them. I then proceeded to download another 100+ RAW images from a different folder into the same folder in LR. The folder on the left side tells me there are 921 photos in that folder, but I can only see the last 100 that I have imported. Why can't I see the previous imports into that same folder? Both the folder and subfolder tells me I have 921 images. Where are the other 800? Thanks!

This is normal behaviour: When you import you only see the imported photos , even when these are added to a existing folder.
When after importing you click on that folder you will see them all.

Could you please give step by step instructions....
Thanks a lot...

Nayab,
http://youngcow.net/doc/oracle10g/backup.102/b14191/rcmdupdb005.htmA suggestion that please don't use external sites which host oracle docs since there can not be any assurance that whether they update their content with the latest corrections or not. You can see the updated part no in the actual doc site from oracle,

Is it possible to import an Access database and forms

Is it possible to import an Access database and forms into apex

Yes and no.. Sorry.. The Access data tables and data can be imported into the database, through SQL Developer. The forms I don't believe will be ported over. What will be created through is a set of maintenance report and form sets for each table you convert over.
That is a good start to converting the database over, since you will probably want to re-do your Access style vba coding to use the available templates and pl/sql code..
Thank you,

I cannot seem to load raw images into LR 2.5. I've been using this for years. I always load from memory card, but it gives me an unknown error message. I tried to load from camera, hard drive, & external drive and still will not work. I checked import

I cannot seem to load raw images into LR 2.5. I've been using this for years. I always load from memory card, but it gives me an unknown error message. I tried to load from camera, hard drive, & external drive and still will not work. I checked import menu and nothing has changed. I loaded the photos onto my tablet and images are fine, so do not feel it is the memory card. Any thoughts?

The error message probably said "unsupported or damaged"
The T3 requires Lightroom 3.4.1 or later. You can either upgrade to a more current version of Lightroom (version 5.6 is the most recent) or you can use the free Adobe DNG Converter to convert the RAWs to DNG, which should import into Lightroom properly.

Importing external images into Flash using ActionScript 3.0

Hey Guys!
What i'm trying to do it import a few (say four) images from
an external
folder at random and display them in a row. The folder would
contain up to a
hundred pictures, sequentially named (ie. 1.jpg, 2.jpg,
3.jpg, 4.jpg,
etc...)
any suggestions on how I could do this??
thanks,
-Chris

thanks for getting me started! Is there a way to get the four
images
directly out of an external folder, though?
thanks,
-Chris

Problem with importing images into time lapse

Hi
I am having problems with importing still images into a time lapse sequence in photoshop and would appreciate any suggestions!
I want to create a time lapse using a sequence of still photographs. All file names are sequentially name/numbered.
I am using the Motion workspace, and have followed all of the instructions available.
Create correct sized new document (film & video).
Create video timeline.
Set frame rate.
Choose 'create new video layer from file'.
Point to first image in the folder where the images are stored.
At this point, no matter what I have tried, I receive this error:
I have tried different sized new documents; tried jpegs and tiffs; tried different frame rates, tried different qualities and sizes of images; tried selecting the last image instead of the first (one recommendation).
If I use the 'Place' command from the file menu (and check the 'image sequence' box) instead of selecting 'Create new video layer' from the layers panel, it loads fine and I can still render the video.
It took me most of a day to discover this workaround, but every other reasonable 'how-to' that I can find says that I should be able to do it by opening files into a new video layer and it seems as though the new video layer option may give me more alternatives.
Anyone have any idea why I could be having these problems?
I have reset Photoshop, deleted the settings file, even reinstalled it. I use 64-bit on windows 7 and even installed the 32-bit to try that, but all with the same result.
Stuart

Unfortunately, yes--I've tried it that way over and over, and every other way I could think of. The files are all in one folder, and I've converted the raw files to both tiffs and jpegs. I even tried converting them to jpegs at the final pixel dimensions. Each folder that I have used only contains one type of file, and they are all part of the same sequence and sequentially numbered. I have even tried renumbering the files with numbers first, numbers last, numbers only, moving underscores. I moved the files from my external hard-drive to the desktop ... I have a lot less hair than I had only a few days ago!
I've looked at a few other tutorials that outline the same sequence of steps, and tried them over and over, and then changing one step at a time to make sure that it was not a single step that caused the problem.
The thing that is really bugging me is that it works fine if I use the different approach of using the place command instead.
Anyway, thanks for all of your time. It's going to be a lot simpler to just stick with 'place' command and I will likely do that, but I tend take things like this as a challenge. I like to know WHY it won't work for me. Sometimes it seems that there is just no logical explanation!
