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.

Importing Glossary from PowerDesigner into Metapedia partial only

Hi all,
we're trying to Import Glossary data from Sybase PowerDesigner 16.5 into IS 4.2 SP2.
Metadata Integrator runs successfully and imports 119 Terms.
However, only the term "Name" is populated, no "Description", "Annotation", "Comment", etc,
Is there any guide, which meta fields are mapped from PD to IS during Import?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Martin

Hi Terence,
Your solution appears to have worked, but it may have developed into another problem, and this may be the wrong area to ask it, but here goes:
Now that I have all my photos in the one place (some duplicated, but that's OK, I can work through that in time) I was getting ready to install lion, but my TimeMachine back-up failed, because the file size is now greater than the timemachine drive (an old 250GB drive from an older machine).
Duriing the iPhoto Library Manager merge process, I had a couple of system freezes, but third time lucky.
The obvious answer is to get a bigger drive, which I will.
However, in the interim, I decided to omit my videos and music from the back-up, jsut to get a complete back-up done before upgrading to Lion. That seemed to decrease the file size enough to fit onto the back-up drive.
Using disk utility, I repaired permisions and verified both disks, with no reported errors. A little way into the back-up process, twice in a row now, the system has frozen and I had to re-start. I again did the repair process and checked both disks. I even erased the back-up disk and re-named the volume.
I'm loathe to try again. Maybe there is something else I should do before trying for a third time.
Any suggestions ?

Import Data From Excel In OBIEE 11g

Hi,
I created an excel sheet named as product. It has three columns. I selected the range and clicked on table. So I assume that it acts like a table. Named the excel work book as ProductExcel. Later created dsn by selecting this workbook.
Now created repository and tried to import data. Selected ODBC 3.5, and clicked my dsn name. Then cliked Next without entering user name and password. It gave me an error "Connection failed". I am confused which user name and password has to be given there.
Please intimate me whether the steps followed are correct or not. Let me know the solution.

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.

I imported videos from photo into iMovie when I set up iMovie (obvious mistake) and now iMovie doesn't work properly, nor can I move specific videos into a folder where I want them. How do I fix this?

I imported videos from photo into iMovie when I set up iMovie (obvious mistake) and now iMovie doesn't work properly, nor can I move specific videos into a folder where I want them. How do I fix this? I even tried deleting iMovie, bought a new copy and installed it, but the folder "iPhoto Videos" is still there and I can't get new clips loaded to iMovie, especially where I want them. Please help.

The iPhoto Videos do occasionally have problems. I've seen a lot of people write messages to this Discussion group describing similar problems. The only thing that seems to get around this problem is to pull the video clips out of iPhoto then import them directly into iMovie. Once the troubles with iPhoto Videos starts, I haven't yet seen anyone write back with something that they did to fix it.
The most difficult part of doing this is the movies in iPhoto might be a little difficult to track down. But you can create a smart alum that does that for you. Go to iPhoto > File Menu > New Smart Album:
Set the first pulldown menu to keyword, second to contains, then in the last box type Movie with a capital 'M'. Then click OK. This smart album more or less does as search of the whole iPhoto Library and only displays items that match your search tearm of "Movie" exactly. In that smart album then you can find the original Movies you want to move out of iPhoto and into iMovie, <CTRL> click on the Movie clip, then choose Reveal in Finder. That will jump you out of iPhoto temporarily and into the iPhoto Library folder. From there you can move that movie file to the desktop. Move all the clips you want, once they're all collected up go to iMovie and go to the File Menu > Import Files. Then point it to the desktop where you moved your video clips.
This will put all those videos into an Event folder in iMovie and bypass iPhoto Videos altogether.

How can I import pictures from aperture into iPhoto

Since moving to mountain lion OSX, I can't find a way for importing pictures from aperture into iphoto. There used to ba a tab under archive in iPhoto where you could view the aperture library and select pictures to import them into iPhoto. This tab has diappeared. Could anyone tell me how it's done now?

I noticed indeed that you can change the library under "archive" in iPhoto but when I choose aperture library I can't find the same structure of albums as in aperture.
Sorry I don't understand this. What is "archive"?

Working alternating with iPhoto and FCE tgrying to import pictures from iPhoto into FCE suddenly all my 22300 pictures disappeared leaving empty frames. Does somebody know where the pictures could have gone and how can I get them back into iPhoto? Lothar

Working alternating with iPhoto and FCE tgrying to import pictures from iPhoto into FCE suddenly all my 22300 pictures disappeared leaving empty frames. Does somebody know where the pictures could have gone and how can I get them back into iPhoto? Lothar

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Importing photos from iphoto into idvd

I am trying to import photos from iphoto into idvd for a slideshow. When the photos move into idvd they are not in the same order as they were in the iphoto library. What could be the possible cause of this?? I did go into iphoto and place comments in after the fact. Would that have anything to do with it?

Try this possible solution from acgray on Mac OS X Hints:
I have worked with many users who like to take iPhoto albums and make DVDs of them with iDVD. However, one very annoying bug (feature?) has to do with the fact that when you are in iDVD, it randomizes the sort order of the Photos in your album. Not only that, but it is painstaking and time consuming changing the order in iDVD.
My solution..
Select All in the album in iPhoto you want to use in iDVD as a slideshow. Then use File -> Export -> File Export. The secret is to select "Use Album Name" as this will rename the images in sequential order, based on the order that you put them in. Save them in their own new folder somehwere easy to find (ie on the Desktop).
Then, in iDVD, either drag, or I believe you can import the entire folder into the Slideshow project window, and voila! your slides are in order. I believe you can throw away the folder with the exported images as they should now be saved into the Project, but don't quote me on that.

I have just updated to LR5. I also have a new Camera. Nikon D800. Trying to import directly (from camera) into LR. But unsuccessful. Getting the following message. "The files are from a camera which is not recognised by the raw format support in Lightroom." How can I import please?

Hi,
I assume you mean the Nikon D810 because D800/800E support has been there since Lightroom 4.1
Currently, because it is a new camera (D810) the only support is in a RC of ACR 8.6 for Photoshop CS6 and CC, as the RC runs out on 31 August it is expected support will be there in the next dot release of Lightroom.
Current limitations are that only full sized NEF is supported.
If you wish to import to Lightroom 5.5. you will need to download the DNG Converter v8.6RC and convert the NEF files (full size RAW ony) to DNG then import into Lightroom 5.5
