Invalid geometry after shp2sdo on generalized shape files

I have a very specific problem that I really could use help on. I new to spatial so please excuse any mistakes on my part.
We are trying to take shape files and convert them to sdo.
Using shp2sdo on our zip shape file and loading it results in no invalid geometries.
My shp2sdo command looks like: shp2sdo.exe -o zip zip -g geom -d -x \(-180,180\) -y \(-90,90\) -t 0.000000005 -v
I use this query to validate:
SELECT zip, status
FROM(SELECT zip,
sdo_geom.validate_geometry_with_context (geom, diminfo) status
FROM zip a,
user_sdo_geom_metadata b
WHERE b.table_name = 'ZIP'
AND b.column_name = 'GEOM')
WHERE status != 'TRUE';
The first problem I am running into is that sdo data produced from these shape files is just way to big and cause performance issues with mapviewer. So I've been trying to generalize the zip code shape file and then run shp2sdo on the generalized shape files.
This results in invalid objects (13349 self intersecting polygon) when I run my validate query above.
I've tried two generalization methods on the zip. One using a script found in ARCView and the other using FME workbench. In FME workbench i've tried AreaGeneralizer and LineGeneralizer. When I loaded the sdo conversion of the shape ran through AreaGeneralizer and LineGenralizer (as well as the one from ArcView) I now had invalid geometries. So I these shape files through SelfIntersector in FME workbench in hopes of correcting gaps and overlaps. The output always says that there is nothing wrong in the shape files. But I tried to load them anyway and again no luck.
Is there something I'm missing in the process I've described above? Has anyone else had luck with generalizing a shape file, converting it to sdo and having all valid geometries after the load? If so could you please describe your process.
Any advice or help would so greatly be appreciated.

Have you also asked in the Adobe forums? To have people read your post, best not to include long crash reports until asked to do so.

Create a spatail table using a shape file (.shp) in SQL DB

Hi All,
I am trying to load shape file into a sql spatial table. A execution process task is used to run the ogr2ogr.exe program.
This is how the process tab looks like .
Executable : C:\gdal_ogr2ogr\bin\gdal\apps\ogr2ogr.exe
Argument : -f MSSQLSpatial MSSQL:server=SQL-ABC-DEV;database=MYSIMPLE_Dev;Trusted_Connection=True;\\mypath\files\shares\Data\www.mypage.htm\my_sample_file.shp
Success value : 1 (I am not sure why I need to change this value from 0 to 1.
For above settings, package runs fine. However the spatial table is not created always. It is created once in a while after switching Success value from 1 to 0 and 0 to 1 again. (After the spatial table is created, it is dropped using a execute sql statement).
If I run this command SDKShell.bat file, it always works.
I am running this in VS 2012.I saw in an article that we need to convert shp file to csv before we load it into sql server.I even tried to convert shp to csv using execute sql task and ogr2ogr.exe. Still the package runs successfully after changing Success
value from 0 to 1 but no csv file is created. If the success value is 0, it throws the following error.
[Execute Process Task] Error: In Executing "C:\gdal_ogr2ogr\bin\gdal\apps\ogr2ogr.exe" " -f CSV \\xxxxxxxxr.rdn\files\shares\xxx_Data\ImportData\www.xxxxxxx.hapepage.htm\xxxxxx\Watches\Warnings\myfile\CSV \\xxxxxxxxr.rdn\files\shares\xxx_Data\ImportData\www.xxxxxxx.hapepage.htm\xxxxxx\Watches\Warnings\myfiles\www.shp"
at "", The process exit code was "1" while the expected was "0".
Could long file name be a problem too?
Thanks for your help in advance..
shamen

Thank you Andreas
Yes I can run it manually without getting any error.I am also new to ogr2ogr.exe. This is used to load shape files into sql server.
Actually this execute process task was located inside a for each loop. As no parameter is passed from for each loop to execute process task, I placed the execute process task outside of for each loop. Now it is working.
Every time when the package is run, execute process task create a spatial table in the db.
Still I don't know why it is not working when I place it inside the for each loop container.
Thanks

Import a shape file to oracle spatial format within an oracle pl/sql proced

hi,
My task is to import an esri sde shape file to oracle sdo format within pl/sql procedure.
i am using oracle 10g, arcgis 9 and arcsdo, geometry type is line, please anyone could help how can i achieve this task, would be very thankful
Best Regards,

There are no "in database" tools around that do this AFAIK. Most/all tools are external to the database and have to be invoked externally.
If you created an external "batch file" that did the right processing, you would still have to work out how to execute this batch file from within Oracle. AFAIK the standard method is to use create custom code that uses DBMS_PIPE to communicate with the operating system to execute the batch file. DBAs hate this approach and it does require programming.
The other method could be to write a trivial piece of Java that when passed the full path to the batch file executes the file. You would then load the compiled Java class into the Oracle JVM and then create a simple PL/SQL wrapper around it. I can't do it at the moment, but can come back with the code and instructions later on in the week.
<SHAMELESS PLUG>
As an aside (it seems appropriate to mention this now), I have been developing tools that do run inside the Oracle JVM an can export Oracle data (including sdo_geometry) to a number of formats:
* xSV (ie comma separated, tab separated, any other single character)
* Excel Spreadsheet
* ESRI Shapefile (including the writing of the PRJ file using a user supplied PRJ string and also I write a MapInfo TAB file to "wrap" the shapefile).
When exporting to xSV or Excel Spreadsheet one can chose to encode the SDO_GEOMETRY data as GML or WKT.
(I am working on a KML exporter as well.)
However, note that these tools EXPORT data and do not IMPORT data.
The tools, currently are running in production at a customer site (tabbed shapefile export option) and work well. Export jobs are defined and given to the Oracle JOB or SCHEDULER and correctly run at the appropriate time writing the data to an operating system directory defined internally (with appropriate permissions) as an Oracle Directory object.
I am now considering selling the exporter tool and am looking for testers. (The pricing of these tools will be exceedingly low.)
</SHAMELESS PLUG>
Now, while I hadn't planned to write any importer for a shapefile for my Exporter, I might consider it if you get stuck and can't find a satisfactory tool.

Simon

SQL*LOADER shape file

Hallo,
I have a shape file and now want to load with this shp2sdo. I tried it once and it worked but
with my actual data I have problems.
1. I don't know what srid the following is. I have already searched my database but I didn't found one.
PROJCS["WGS_1984_UTM_Zone_32N",GEOGCS["GCS_WGS_1984",
DATUM["D_WGS_1984",SPHEROID["WGS_1984",6378137,298.257223563]],
PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],UNIT["Degree",0.017453292519943295]],PROJECTION
["Transverse_Mercator"],PARAMETER["False_Easting",32500000],PARAMETER
["False_Northing",0],PARAMETER["Central_Meridian",9],PARAMETER
["Scale_Factor",0.9996],PARAMETER["Latitude_Of_Origin",0],UNIT["Meter",1]]
2. There is always the error that
commit point reached - logical error
And I really don't know how to fix it.
Thanks Jade

Hi,
The closest SRID for the information you've input is 82344. However the conversion from degrees to radians is off slightly, as is the false easting value.
You may have to create your own coordinate system for your data.
Regarding the logical error, can you look in the log files and see if anything in there gives a clue as to what the problem is?
Thanks,

After Effects Help | Creating shapes and masks

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/after-effects/using/creating-shapes-masks.html

Hi Todd,
I don't think either approach accomplishes what I am trying to do. Just as when using a shape tool on an existing layer to create a mask, none of these approaches lets me alter a shape path after creating it, in terms of number of points, inner/outer radius and inner/outer roundness. Nor can I animate those characteristics.
The Help file creates the impression that you can copy/paste a Shape path from a Shape layer. If that were true, I could create a shape, copy/paste that path to a mask path, keyframe it, go back to the original shape layer, change its propertie and copy/paste that new shape path to the mask path at a different time, thus morphing from one shape to another. I don't see any way to do that.

How to find the Invalid Pll after applying a Pacth

Hi,
How to find the Invalid Pll after applying a Pacth
Thanks & Regards
Sivaraman.G

You can get the list of PLL files from the patch log file.
To determine the invalid objects you have in the database, run the following:
SQL> select owner, object_name, object_type
from dba_objects
where status = 'INVALID';To get the list of invalid packages:
SQL> select owner, object_name, object_type
from dba_objects
where status = 'INVALID'
and object_type like 'PACKAGE%';To compile invalid packages, issue the following:
SQL> alter package <package name> compile; (to compile package header)
SQL> alter package <package name> compile body; (to compile package body)

Can Oracle Spatial read shape files?

Hi,
I need to read some shape files into Oracle spatial and was wondering how (or indeed if) there is a way of doing this. I don't know much about the shape files, except that they can be used with ARCView. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Steve

Steve,
I've done this 4 ways:
1. If you have ArcGIS 8.1, you can use ESRI's shp2sde which can create spatial tables containing SDO_GEOMETRY objects.
2. If you have GeoMedia Pro 4.0, you can convert shape files to Oracle Spatial tables containing SDO_GEOMETRY objects either with a direct write or you can generate scripts.
3. FME Universal Translator by Safe Software (www.safe.com) can translate shape files to Oracle Spatial tables containing SDO_GEOMETRY objects.
4. Oracle's shp2sdo utility can also translate them, but there is added cleanup. You have to then migrate your table to 8.1.7.
Hope that helps.

After I import a movie file from the camera memory card, Imovie 10.0.1 acts as if the memory card is empty though I know it isn't.... I can't import that file to iMovie again.. is that the way it worksnow? Thank you, Filippo

On IMac 10.9 After I import a movie file from the camera memory card to Imovie 10.0.1 it acts as if the memory card is empty though I know it isn't.... I can't import that file to iMovie again.. is that the way it works now? Anyone know? Thanks, Filippo

I would like to know this too. I imported a lot of files, then Imovie crashed. I went back in and they are not in imovie at all.
I reconnected the camcorder to import again and though they are still on the camcorder, I no longer see them in the available list of files to import. I'm sure there is some sort of simple setting somewhere that reveals all files even if it thinks they are imported.
Thanks

Thanks Paul; but, taking your suggestion didn't solve the problem. As mail is part of the OS, the updates don't have the capacity to reinstall applications; so, I had to reinstall the OS.

After a backup all music files are invisible and iTunes don't see anything

Hi,
I got a very strange problem and I'm really lost.
I made a backup of my portable iTunes libray (using a 160 GB Maxtor one touch 4 mini usb) on another backup disk (750 GB Maxtor onetouch III firwire 800). I have my library on a external disk to safe disk space on my MacBook Pro disk. For the back up I use the software Personal Backu4 of Intego Software. The 160GB iTunes disk is Formatted als Mac OS Extended format.
Now all back up data that aren't music files (AAC or MP3 files) was correctly back up, but all music files was like deleted, all artist > album folders looks empty. But, cheking with the disk utility it looks that all files exist and the Used space (36.06 GB) looks correctly and the numbers of files too (some 5942 files). But all files are invisible, folders looks empty. Now is looks that all purchased and CD imported int my library didn't exist anymore: and this in BOTH disks, side by side is the same situation.
How I can come out from this situation, I really don't have any idea how to coming out fron this sad situation.
Hany help is really appreciated. Thanks in advance!

OK, here's what REALLY doesn't make sense.
After manually fixing a lost file, NOTHING in the XML changes. Not one single character changes in the XML file. I diff'd the whole file before and after - no difference. So, basically, it goes out and 'finds' it and updates something that we can't see to repair the connection, meanwhile we are left to think that this XML file has the library data in it.
Mind you, the media file(s) are present and accounted for in the file system - correct name and path and everything - before and after I go Locate the file when iTunes complains about it being missing..
iTunes is so overbloated, we can't even fix stuff when we see precisely how it is broken.
