Item Class removed during import of EEX

I have amended the SQL for a custom folder and this custom folder has one item class and is joined to two other folders. In my export I have included the BA, the three folders and the item class. When I import this EEX to a support environment the item class is deleted. If then import the EEX a second time the item class is recreated.
Has anyone seen this behaviour before? Is there any way to resolve/prevent this? I don't believe the export strategy is at fault as I have migrated 100's of objects in this manner. What is most strange is that the item class clearly exists in the EEX as it is creating it on the second import.
I am using the Refresh object: preserve display related properties option and objects are being matched by identifier. These are the standard choices for all our migrations.
Thanks,
Nic

Hello Nic
I frequently need to import EEX files a second time and do it regularly. This is because of a round-robin scenario where item classes are shared between folders. So if folder A is imported before folder B and the item class is driven from folder B it will not be attached to the items in folder A. If I now do the import a second time then because the item class already exists when folder A is iimported the system sees that the LOV is there and hooks it back in.
Hope this behind the scenes explanation and Rod's previous posting help.
Best wishes

Memory card was removed during import of photos

Is there any way to get to photos on a memory card that was previously "removed" probably while import photos was processing? Many precious photos on card. Our iMac is very slow, probably low on memory, and the "user" pulled the card out in frustration.
Now iPhoto says the card is not readable and the camera does not recognize the card either. Are our photos lost?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
probably low on memory
If you mean free space on your hard drive then, yes that can cause a lot of troubles for you. It's strongly recommended that a minimum of 10 GB be maintained for optimum system and application operation. That much space is needed for cache files and virtual memory swap files which allow the system and apps to function efficiently. Also if you'r low on free space the Finder has to work hard to find space in the fragmented free areas to save the images.
If you're low on free space I'd make it a priority to free up a minimum of 10 GB. Then try MediaRECOVER on the memory card. I've used it and it works very well.

Importing Custom folder/item class gives warning

Hi
When i trying to import custom folder in admin it gives me warning indicating that imported successfully but not in Business areas. now it shows in folder list but not in associated BA. so i have to manually assigned it to BA by selecting manage folders. Same thing happened with item class. it imported successfully but selected item was missing and it shows LOV in item class but when i select edit item class and i saw that selected item was empty.
Is it bug?
Plz help me.
Thanks,
Jay

Hi Jay
I really do understand and again I sympathize. Let me state the correct approach and you will see how your organozation is deviating from what other companies do.
Most organizations that I work with have a single production environment. Under that they have a pre-production or QA environment, with further environments for development, test and training. They would never attempt to migrate to production without going through QA first, knowing also that QA was a copy of production that was refreshed not so long ago.
There would also be only one development environment and one test environment. It is not a good idea to have developers working on their own private EUL as this WILL cause issues during migration.
There's nothing to stop two developers working inside the same development EUL providing they are in different business areas. Its not wise to attempt multiple edits to the same business area at the same time as this makes for extremely difficult user testing.
Now, if you do decide to continue using multiple development EULs you must not migrate from these straight into production. You must migrate into the QA area first where you can test and make sure that no upset has occurred. Whenever something goes to production from QA it is imperative that those same changes be propogated to all of the other EUL instances otherwise you are asking for trouble.
Does any of this help?
Best wishes

How to remove existing keywords during import?

I have tried to find a way to NOT import existing keywords present in files that are already on my system, when I am importing those files into my library. They mess up my existing keyword structure and I just want to ignore them during import. I tried to enter an empty keyword text area with checkbox ticked in the template I apply during import, but that doesn't do the trick for reasons I don't comprehend. Any clues?

To tell you the truth, I don't think the Lighroom Import function has the capability of removing keywords.
Your choices seem to be ...
Remove keywords after import, in which case you would also have to remove the unwanted keyword from your hierarchy
Use freeware tools like Geosetter or Exiftool to remove the keywords from your photos before importing

Microsoft Lync Server 2013, Backup Service user store backup module detected items having pool ownership conflict during import.

Dear Team,
I have two Enterprise lync 2013 pools, abcPool and abcpool1. abcPool1 has got two servers, Server1 and server2. and abcpool has one FE server named "Server 3". and they have pool pairing.
Replication was fine between them when i had only one FE server in each pool, one day FE service broke on one of the FE server on abcpool1 and failed to start so i had to do failover to another pool, at that time i introduced one more FE in abcPool1, that
why now 2 FEs in abcPool2. Server1 FE service was resolved by reinstalling the binaries. However after that im unable to get the backupservice state to normal, i tried the below articles with no luck,

How to search item classes

Hi,
Is there a way to search for a specific item class in the item classes list? Neither I could find a way to sort them, so it is more pain to search for a specific item class.
Thanks.

Hi Puppethead
this is true and is exactly what I did when I first started working with Discoverer. However, not everyone has that business area installed.
For anyone wondering what we are talking about, here is a workflow:
1. Launch SQL*PLUS as EUL owner
2. Locate and execute this file: EUL5.SQL - you will find it here:
$ORACLE_HOME/discoverer/util - usually: C:\oracle\BIToolsHome_1\discoverer\util
3. Exit SQL*PLUS and launch Discoverer Administrator
4. From the menu bar, select File | Import
5. Click Add File
6. Locate this file: EUL5.EEX - you will find it here:
$ORACLE_HOME/discoverer - usually: C:\oracle\BIToolsHome_1\discoverer
7. Click Next
8. Accept all default and click Next
9. Click Start (located top right)
10. When done - click Finish
11. You will now see a new business area called The Discoverer V5 EUL
You should now be able to log into Desktop or Plus as the EUL owner and run the workbooks that were also installed by the above process. There are four of these, called:
EUL Access
EUL Data Definition
EUL Query Statistics
EUL Workbook Management
The one you want in order to look at the list of values is called EUL Data Definition. Open this and look at the worksheet called Item Classes.
I hope this helps
Best wishes

Re:Error during import of Videos from SD card

Holiday Footage taken with an Olympus u Tough 3000, onto a ' 2Gb SD memory card', and then put through a Kingston Card reader Straight into iMovie (Ver: 7.1.4 ),
Starts to load OK, But after taking the prompted steps to import, (and it tells me that it is importing ), A window flags up saying "Error occurred during import, please REVIEW the imported movies CAREFULLY" ! So i click on "OK" the window disappears, and i am left wondering how the **** am i supposed to do that ? .
But whats more, is My videos show as a new file in iMovies and i can see all the clips as thumbnails, but when the reader is ejected, and the card removed, Although a window shows My New 'Camera imports' file, i can niether see nor access the films in any way to do anything with them.
I am a Novice to this area of Mac, So please, be gentle with me ! Can someone Exlpain ( Clearly !) whats happening, and what i need to do ?
There are also photos on the same SD card that i will later want to put into ' Image Capture' So hope your replys will, if neccesssary deal with that too should the problem arise.

Problem on PC: During import, I can locate the sources folder however the photo do not display. Was working fine.

Problem on PC: During import, I can locate the sources folder however the photo do not display. Was working fine. All file types, Lightroom is no longer recognising the images to import, The panel that usually displays them remains empty. Try using backup versions, removing software that could conflict , still no joy, has anyone had this problem?

Did you follow this procedure?
Our iTunes guru Terence Devlin advises the following:
1. Quit iTunes
2. Drag the iTunes folder from your internal hd - located in ~/Music folder - to your external hd. DO NOT delete the original one from your internal hd... yet!
3. When the transfer is complete, press and hold the Option(alt) key and fire up iTunes.
4. A "Choose iTunes Library" window will come up. Click on the "Choose Library" button.
5. Navigate to where the iTunes folder is located in the external hd.
6. Within the iTunes folder, select the iTunes Library file and click Choose...
That's it. iTunes will now display all your playlists, songs, movies, podcasts etc. At this point, should you wish, you can delete the iTunes folder from the internal hd to free up space.

How do I remove an imported iPhoto library at multiple users

There seem to be different ways of sharing an iPhoto library among multiple users on a single Mac and I guess I didn't select the best one ...
My wife and I both have an account on our Mac (I am administrator).
Originally, only on my account we viewed our photos, but my wife wanted to have the same iPhoto access via her account.Makes sense!
Via 'system preferences > share' I marked the picture folder in which the iPhoto library is stored as a 'shared folder'.
Then in my wifes account, I started iPhoto and I imported the iPhoto library file in this shared folder (and 'yes', I unchecked the option in the preferences menu to avoid copying photos on import ;-)
Well, for the next hours or so, the system started to import the photos ... although my photo library contains more then 10.000 pictures (!!) the status bar during import indicated a shear amount of ±260.000 pictures to be imported (as it turns out it includes the 'faces' as pictures).
To make a long story short - how do I restore iPhoto on my wifes account by e.g. removing/undoing the imported library. I am a bit hesitant in removing the library since it is the library stored in our shared folder and I don't want to delete that library file. I 'just' want it to turn back to the original 'empty' iPhoto on my Wife's account and share our library in a different way.
By the way, although the iPhoto library/events are a mess on my wifes account, it still looks good on my account.
Thanks.
D.

Trash the Library in your wife's account.
Never import one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
What you mean by 'share'.
If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
(You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

Why is aperture 3.4 crashing during import after upgrade?

After running a typical upgrade from Software update on my mac I have had the problem of importing files into Aperture.
Exactly what happened and equipment used. Used SD 45mbs 16gb SD card to import RAW images after a shoot. This has been working and tested the day before update. Was prompted to update to Aperture 3.4 along with another update for OSX. After reboot I launched Aperture and was prompted to update library. Next SD card was inserted, pictures showed up as previews, all were selected and checked to import all. Application crashes see below.
What I have tired.
removed application
removed preference files
reinstalled application
was prompted for upgrade of library
once done inserted SD to import files
Same issue files show up but they do not import and same report comes up
have attempted multiple SD cards with no resolve.
Able to use disk on another computer with no issue.
Someone please help

What Aperture version are you running exactly? Aperture 3.4 or 3.4.1? The 3.4.1 update has some important bug fixes. If you did not install the last update, I'd recommend to update.
Some posters had problems with the image capture preferences, after upgrading to 3.4, and that caused troubles during import. Try if removing the image capture preference files helps:
To remove the image capture preferences:
If Aperture is running, quit Aperture, and log off and on again.
Open your user library from the Finder's Go menu: Hit Command Shift G (⌘⇧G) and then type in: ~/Library/Preferences/ then hit return.
In the window that opens remove "com.apple.ImageCapture.plist"
and look into the subfolder "ByHost": if there are files named com.apple.ImageCapture something.plist remove them too.
then try again.

DTW Sort Error - after mapping during import

I got the "Sort Error - after mapping during import" message in DTW. (version 8.8)
I would like to import warehouse info for items.
My itemcodes are fix 15 character numbers, like this: 10204150020011
The note nr. [1331130|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/oss_notes/sdn_oss_sbo_dtw/~form/handler%7b5f4150503d3030323030363832353030303030303031393732265f4556454e543d444953504c4159265f4e4e554d3d31333331313330%7d] said that I can't use recordkey like this.
Do you have any idea how can I import thees information with DTW?
Thank you,

Dear All
Please give correct and complete information
i have tested every kind of combination;
- recreate the template with the dtw for Items = i have UDF's
- ADD the column RecordKey !!! unbelievable that we have to do this
- i have entered a nr 1 in it (even when we had already 850 items in the database)
(and of course the hints of Gordon - columns as text, start with basic... - and use CSV format)
now at last i can import the record line

Adding keywords during import

I have keyword C in a hierarchy:
•A
•B
C
During import if I try to assign keyword C a new keyword C is created at the top level and this new C is what is assigned to the images.
If I assign the keywords after import using *Metadata->Batch Change* it works fine, keyword C from the hierarchy is assigned.
I have made sure that no C exists at the top level (or anywhere else in the keyword HUD except in A->B) before importing, I deleted all the completions from the keyword input field also.
Am I doing something wrong, is anyone else having this problem?
thanks in advance.
Message was edited by: Frank Caggiano
Just blew away Plist file and tried it, still does it.
.

It is still not solved - after each import with previously assigned keywords from level C these keywords are imported at level A, that is easy to fix in the Keywords HUD; however, the worst part of it is, that all smart albums using those particular keywords will stop working. The smart albums will no longer refer to the original keyword but instead to the new duplicates and the albums will be empty.
After importing images with keywords all my thematic smart albums (screensaver selections, web selections, book selections) have to be edited again, and sometimes I even have to repair the library because merging the duplicates in the Keywords HUD does not always remove the duplicates from the smart album settings. E.g., these duplicates no longer exist in the Keywords HUD, but remain in the smart album settings: (the original keywords are children of the group "_Rollen")
This behaviour is the same on all three machines with AP 3.2.1 and OS Lion 10.7.2 I have access to:
MBP 13", MBP 17", iMac.

This latest crash on my iMac has left me with an event visible only in the main "Library->Photos" collection, but not in the events list. In this case the thread deleting the photos on the SD card was only partly done as well so I manually removed the remaining already imported but latent photos from the SD card before returning it to my camera.
I cannot auto-split it either (it covers 19 days, with over 1400 photos).
The earlier crash on my Macbook did something similar (it was a partial import of my trip photos and I elected to keep them on the card that time), but I was able somehow to auto-split the one big event despite it not being in the events list and from then on everything seemed to look OK again on that system.
Both crash reports have been sent to Apple.
I may have found a possible workaround by selecting all the photos in the phantom event but via flagging them, then creating a new event from the flagged photos. Kinda hokey but it seems to have eliminated the phantom event at the same time due to the fact photos can only be in one event at a time.
iPhoto did crash one more time during this process though, and I've not yet confirmed if everything's OK since.

If both libraries on both machines are crashing while importing the same set of images, then it suggests there's something wrong with one of those images.
