IPTC Headline vs IPTC Object Name

I'm just curious....
Everything I've read about using IPTC fields recommends that we use HEADLINE for the short descriptive caption. And that OBJECT NAME be reserved for a more technical reference.
Yet, I see that iPhoto uses the Object Name....
Do we know why Apple made that decision?
I have lots of data in Headline.... I'll have to transfer it to Title before I can import to iPhoto.
Thanks for your consideration
Marion

iPhoto uses IPTC field 120, Caption/Abstract, for the descriptions. The titles are put into the IPTC field 05 - Object Name (Title). Why Apple uses those fields: you'll have to ask Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html
The following are the IPTC field titles:

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) 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.
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. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 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: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Pull title from IPTC headline field not IPTC object name

I imported sample images from the IPTC.org site and filename shows up in LR title field because LR fills it's title field from IPTC title/object name field (frequently used for filename) rather than the recommended IPTC Headline field. I think the better practice would be for title in LR to come from the IPTC Headline field and suggest this change. I don't want to put my metadata titles in field other than the correct Headline field.
Thanks, Ralph Daily

>LR fills it's title field from IPTC title/object name field (frequently used for filename) rather than the recommended IPTC Headline field.
Can you give a reference where it is recommended that fields be filled from a different source?
On the surface, this would seem to lead to a lot of confusion. For example, what would happen to existing information in the Title/Object field if your suggestion was implemented? What happens when you synchronize XMP data back to the image?
IMO, the way it presently works is just fine. I use the Title/Object field for the original filename and the Headline field for whatever descriptive text I want. Others may have a different approach. Why should LR scramble the approach we have been using long before LR was around?

Please more support for the IPTC Headline tag!

The use of the IPTC Headline tag (as opposed to the Title tag) is being discussed in posts back to 2007.
Basically it's weird that Lightroom supports the Title tag with filters and search function whereas the Headline tag sees none of that treatment.
Per definition the Headline tag
"... is a brief, publishable synopsis or summary of the contents of the photograph. Like a news story's lead, the Headline should grab attention and summarize the image's content. Headlines must be succinct. Leave any supporting narrative for the Description field. Do not, however, confuse the Headline term with Title."
whereas the Title tag
"... can include a shorthand reference for the image or “photograph” - primarily for identification. The title of an image should be a short, human-readable name - text and/or numeric reference - and may take several forms. For photographers, this might be the filename of their original scan or digital camera file. For news organizations it might be the name of a story it accompanies. The Title term should not be confused with the Headline term, which is a short synopsis of the photograph's content."
These definitions should make it fairly clear that the Headline tag needs at least the same tools treatment as the Title tag has.

Force a Two Line IPTC Headline entry

I use the IPTC Headline field for player's Name, Number, and Position, as part of actions in Photoshop for creating Memory Mates. I need the information to appear as the sample below for the action to work correctly.
Bobby Smith, #30

Question - Does anyone know how to force a "hard" return after the number in the IPTC Headline field in Lightroom?
When typing in the information, the text wraps around fine. However, when you open up the file information in Photoshop, all of the text is on a single line. If I hit the "return" key after typing in the number, Lightroom jumps to the next field. Thanks!!!

Or, on Windows:
1. Turn on the numlock
2. Hold down the ALT key
3. On the numeric keyboard type 010
4. Release the ALT key
May work on a keyboard without a numeric keypad, such as a laptop (Your mileage may vary).

How can I set the Object Name to the file name on import?

All-
I've been manually typing the filename into Aperture's Object Name metadata field. Is there a way to do this automatically? I use metadata presets to fill in many other fields on import but haven't found a way to set metadata fields on a file-by-file basis.
Perhaps there's a way to do this with the thousands of images already in my library as well...
Thanks,
Andreas

Here's the cleaned-up version:
tell application "Aperture"
set selectedImages to the selection
repeat with i in selectedImages
set tName to name of i
set value of IPTC tag "ObjectName" of i to tName
end repeat
end tell
Some other related bits, which you can probably work out how to put into the above script:
Find out the AppleScript names of the IPTC tags (but only tags which have a value for that image), the names will be listed in the 'result' pane in the Script Editor:
tell application "Aperture"
set selectedImages to the selection
get name of every IPTC tag of item 1 of selectedImages
end tell
The same for EXIF tags:
tell application "Aperture"
set selectedImages to the selection
get name of every EXIF tag of item 1 of selectedImages
end tell
And for any custom tags you have set up. If you haven't set up any custom tags (one of my main reasons for going with Aperture) this will just return camera and picture time zones:
tell application "Aperture"
set selectedImages to the selection
get name of every custom tag of item 1 of selectedImages
end tell
Finally, keywords:
tell application "Aperture"
set selectedImages to the selection
get name of keywords of item 1 of selectedImages
end tell
To grab the first keyword name try 'name of keyword 1 of...' etc.
To grab the parent keywords for hierarchical keywording stuff try experimenting with 'get parents of keywords of'. The keywords seem to be read-only from AppleScript, so a magic script that added all parent keywords doesn't seem to be possible.

Object name to Version name

We have been shooting a couple hundred product shots and populating the 'Object Name' field in the metadata. I want to export the images with the filename matching the Object Name but it is not an option as a metadata field in export.
Can I batch copy the 'Object Name' field into 'Version Name' so then it can be exported to the file name.?

This should get you started. It will set the version name to the IPTC object name if it is filled in.
tell application "Aperture"
set zSelection to selection
repeat with zImageVersion in zSelection
tell zImageVersion
if exists IPTC tag "ObjectName" then
set zName to value of IPTC tag "ObjectName"
set name to zName
end if
end tell
end repeat
end tell

Duplicate Object Name Error When Publishing Crystal Reports from BW to BOE

Hi,
We recently upgraded our systems (all client and server) to SP2.7 in order to solve a problem with saving Crystal Reports to BW. Now we are experiencing a new error when trying to publish a Crystal Report from BW to BOE (either all in one step from Crystal Reports application or directly from within BW).
Upon trying to publish a Crystal Report from BW to BOE, we get the following error:
"An error occurred while saving and / or publishing. The return code 1 was returned from the server. Logon to Crystal Enterprise failed. Unable to commit the changes to Enterprise. Reason: Failed to commit objects to server : Duplicate object name in the same folder."
We have repeated this issue numerous time with different reports, users and logon credentials and have verified that there are NOT any duplicate object names.
Additionally, in some cases, the report ultimately publishes to BOE, but with the above error interruption along the way.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Josh

Ingo,
Apologies for the delayed response. We've spent a few days poking around with this issue, and had even opened a customer message for it (13641).
In the end, it seems that the problem was somehow associated with the "Prepare this report for translation." flag in the "Save to BW Options" dialog box of Crystal Reports. If we try to Save & Publish with the Translation flag selected, we get the duplicate entry error. If we Save & Publish without the Translation flag selected, everything is fine.
There are still some details we need to look into, but for the time being it looks like we don't have an issue anymore(assuming we ever did) as we're not concerned with Translation capabilities.
If we come across the problem again, I'll post again.
Thanks,
Josh

Create directory / object name must NOT be case sensitive

SQL Dev. 2.1 - the wizard, chosen from the left side navigator, submits a wrong create statement in which the object name becomes case-sensitive. This should not be so! Even if you write the new object name in small letters , the object name must end up in the data dictionary with capitals. kind regards Inger ([email protected])

Which wizard? If I use a create table wizard, for example, and enter the table in lower case, this is indeed stored in the DB as upper case, as you require.
Please provide more detail for your problem.

Find object Names in a file and print all those objects Names

You can use UTL_FILE and use standard/basic file I/O calls like fread() and fwrite() - common amongst most (if not all) programming languages.
You can define an external table for the file, and SQL*Load the contents of the file dynamically via a SQL SELECT statement.
You can load the file into a CLOB using DBMS_LOB and then process it - quite useful if the text file is XML as the XMLTYPE supports parsing a a CLOB containing XML.
I want to pick Each object name put in a separate file line by line.That in turn will need to use UTL_FILE to create an external file.
Keep in mind though that your in a database environment with PL/SQL. The very best place for data is inside the database in SQL tables. Not outside as external files. Thus you need to ask yourself whether dealing this way with external files is the best solution, and a robust and scalable one.
Granted, many times from the database side we need to deal with external files. The optimal method usually is to load that file's data into a database table as structured data - data that can be accessed via SQL and sorted, filtered, aggregated and analysed.
To provide a "file" as output - this should ideally be done directly from structured data (SQL tables). And can be done using HTTP (via a web enabled PL/SQL procedure that supplies the file content as a http Mime stream), using FTP (via <i>UTL_TCP</i>) or as a CLOB via a PL/SQL call interface. Using UTL_FILE is not necessarily the only option.

SSRS Error : Query execution failed for dataset 'dataSet'. (rsErrorExecutingCommand) Semantic query execution failed. Invalid object name 'RPT.*********'. (rsSemanticQueryEngineError)

I am new to SSRS and I am trying to migrate reports from 2008 to 2012. As I have so many reports to migrate, I simply got the back up of ReportServer,

Does anyone have insight on this? or any better way that I can migrate the reports to new server with less efforts.
I don’t have the reports solution file to deploy the reports, so I have followed backup and restore process.

Hi Kishore237,
According to your description, you migrated some reports from Reporting Services (SSRS) 2008 to 2012. Now you get error when accessing the reports on SSRS 2012. Right?
In this scenario, did you modify the report data source in database after migration? You can try to open the report in Report Builder or Report designer and check the report dataset. If you can preview the report in Report builder or Report designer,
please try to redeploy the report to Report Server. If it is still not working, please try to restore the database from backup. And for migrating reports, please follow the "Content-Only Migration" in the link below:

If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Hi,
“All but one database are upgradable. However, one database gives:
Invalid object name 'Webs'.”
Did the sentence you mean only one database not upgrade to SharePoint 2013 and given the error?
One or more of the following might be the cause:
Insufficient SQL Server database permissions
SQL Server database is full
Incorrect MDAC version
SQL Server database not found
Incorrect version of SQL Server
SQL Server collation is not supported
Database is read-only
To resolve the issue, you can refer to the following article which contains the causes and resolutions.

There was an error while writing data back to the server: Failed to commit objects to server : Duplicate object name in the same folder.

Post Author: dmface15
CA Forum: Administration
I am working in a new enviorment and i am trying to save a report to the Crystal Server via the CMC. I am uploading the report from the objects tab and attempting to save to a folder. The report has 1 static defined parameter and that's it. When i click submit to save the report i receive the following error message: "There was an error while writing data back to the server: Failed to commit objects to server : Duplicate object name in the same folder." There is not a anothe report within the folder with that name. What could be causing this error message and equally important, what is the solution.

hte message you received about duplicate user probably means something hadn't fully updated yet. Once it did then it worked...

How to hide object name in tray of pages

Hi everybody,
I want to hide the object name in the tray of a page.
I act as follows: open Page in VC --> Configure Page --> Look & Feel --> unselct "Show Object name in Tray"
I thought that is the right way, but every time I want to deploy, the option is true again.
Could anybody help me?

Hi Robert,
Unfortunately, evrytime you open the model, it shows default values for the fieds. The only field for which it shows the correct value in the dashboard is 'Show Help Option'. However, at runtime, it does reflect the changes you make. You can check that in PCD.
e.g. If you uncheck the checkbox for 'Show object name' and deploy the first time. The page should reflect the change on the Portal in PCD, however in the model shows the default value i.e. the checked checkbox. If you deploy it again, it won't change the value on the portal. It will still retain the value(unchecked,) on the portal. In order to change the value back to what it was (checked) originally, you have to uncehck the checkbox and check it again and then deploy. The values will change on the portal.
I don't know the reason behind this behaviour though.
Regards,
Ajay

Cost element report with cost object name column

Hi,
i'm looking for a report similar to S_ALR_87013601: Cost Elements: Breakdown by Object Type, but including a column with the cost object name. Does anyone know if such a report exists? If it doesn't exist, how can i create a report like this?
Some of my company costs are assigned to cost centers and some of them are assigned to wbs elements. We would like a report where we could have all the information together.
Thank you very much

Hi Xavi ,
Some of my company costs are assigned to cost centers and some of them are assigned to wbs elements. We would like a report where we could have all the information together.=>
There is not standard report available.. which will display total cost per company code.. i,e cost booked on cost centers, internal order and WBS elements ... This is becuse each modules store data in seperate tables.
You have to create a ABAP report to serve your pourpose. You have to collate all the costs booked in a company code for cost centers, IO and WBS elements . Pick up real costs only as per company code..
We are using such custom report and its working fine.
