Keeping directory structure with Catalog backup.

So I have all my pictures in seperate directories on my computer. When using my catalog backup it just copies every file into a root directory, is there a way to preserve the directory structure that its making the backup from?

Which verson of Photoshop Elementa are you running?
In general, the way that the Photoshop Elements Catalog
b Backup
command works is that it renames the files during the backup process and it creates a Control File. Then when you use the Elements
b Restore
command, it can rebuild the folder structure as it was and place the photo (or video, audio) files in the same folder as it was at the time of the backup.

Making a Directory Structure with JTree.

Hello,
Can anyone boss here help me to code to make a
File System Directory structure through JTree?
The outlook should be like the Windows Explorer...

PDB Directory Structure with OMF

If one create a PDB using Oracle Managed Files (OMF) the directory structure for the files are using the GUID instead of the PDB Name. Is there any chance to change this? It's very difficult to find out which file belongs to which PDB if you have serveral PDBs up and running.

What value of DB_CREATE_FILE_DEST are you using? Just set it to where you want the files created for the PDB.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28310/omf003.htm#i1006430
When creating a tablespace, either a permanent tablespace or an undo tablespace, the DATAFILE clause is optional. When you include the DATAFILE clause the filename is optional. If the DATAFILE clause or filename is not provided, then the following rules apply:
If the DB_CREATE_FILE_DEST initialization parameter is specified, then an Oracle-managed datafile is created in the location specified by the parameter.
Here is a simple example:
SQL> alter system set db_create_file_dest=’/u01/app/oracle/oradata/myDir/myNewPDB′;
System altered.
SQL> create pluggable database myNewPDB from myOldPDB;
Pluggable database created.
You can't control the actual filenames when using OMF, only the destination folder.
Edited by: rp0428 to fix typo
Your comment about the optional parameter DATAFILE is only valid if you don't want to change any of the default values for size, extendsize and maxsize. As I don't like "UNLIMITED" for the maxsize I have to specify DATAFILE according to the documentation:
Oracle 12c Database Administrator's Guide 12c: "However, if in your DATAFILE clause you override these defaults by specifying a SIZE value (and no AUTOEXTEND clause), then the data file is not autoextensible."
Your example makes the directory structure even more complex: Oracle always adds the name of the database and the GUID to the directory. So for your example you end up with the following directory structure:
/u01/app/oracle/oradata/myDir/myNewPDB/<CDB_NAME>/<GUID>
Her's an example:
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET db_create_file_dest='/u02/oradata/JO3';
SQL> CREATE PLUGGABLE DATABASE JO3 ...
SQL> SELECT name FROM v$datafile WHERE CON_ID=7;
NAME
/u02/oradata/JO3/CJOHANN/F23385330E6F7CE2E043411E10ACD344/datafile/o1_mf_system_9hpk1l9f_.dbf

Layers in groups to files, keeping directory structure

I have a PSD of thmebnails organized using layer groups and I want to export individual layers as files, but keep them in folders that mimic the layer group names.
For example:
PSD Layers Palette:
Layer Group Alpha
     Layer 1
     Layer 2
     Layer 3
Layer Group Beta
     Layer 1
     Layer 2
So when I save the layers to files, I would like to automatically be able to create a folder called Layer Group Alpha and put Layer 1, Layer 2, and Layer 3 as individual files inside. Then create a folder called Layer Group Beta and do the same with those files, etc.
Is this a thing?
Thanks in advance for any help and advice.

This should create the folders off the documents path and save the layers as jpegs....

Keep directory structure for extra files after installation

I'm working on an AIR project in Flash CS5 that has some additional support files in a folder called "data". In my publish setting, I included this folder. When I run a test install of the AIR file, I no longer have a "data" folder in my installation directory. How can I have the installer create this folder so I can access the support files?
BTW, I'm on a Mac and only see the .app file after installation. The support files will hold application preferences that need to be read and written to.

Unfortunately, I am not able to reproduce the prodblem. To reproduce I added a folder called testFiles in the AIR Settings Window(In Included Files Section) shown below. And I got the same in Program Files when i installed the app.
Am i doing anything different than you? BTW I am testing on Windows for now.

PC - Moving catalog and directory structure to a new HD

Having filled my internal HD with images, I went out and purchased a new and bigger external hard drive. I want to move my images to the new drive while preserving both my directory structure and catalog information. From what I can see of the "move" command in PS Elements, it moves selected images to a new directory, but that's not what I want to do. I probably have a hundred named folders and I would like to keep the images in folders of the same name on the new drive. I don't want to have to move one directory at a time. Copying through the file manager can obviously do this, but I don't know if it will preserve my tags, etc.
Is there a straightforward way to move files from one drive to another that preserves both directory structure and catalog information?
Thanks in advance.
Artie

Humm, this is strange-Version 4 is supposed to move entire folders; Version 3 did not do this.
Okay, Plan B.
Open Elements and do a Full Backup and point to your external hard drive.
When this has finished running, do a Restore. You should get a pop up asking if you want to use the existing folder structure. Answer Yes and point to your External HardDrive (EHD). This should copy your photos and the Organizer file over to your (EHD).
Now look in Preferences under Files (I think, don't have program open) and you will see one value for where to store photos and one for Organizer location. Change these to your EHD so future photos and tags/collections are written to the EHD.
Verify all your tags and collections came over correctly.
If you are satisfied the transfer went correctly, you can erase your photos from your hard drive to free up space. You can also delete the Organizer file if you want.
Option 2-Use Windows Explorer and move all the files from your hard drive to your EHD. This will keep your folder structure, but will cause havoc with Organizer.
Open Organizer and do File>Reconnect All Missing. It will be all of them. You should have an option to change the drive to your EHD. It may take quite a while to reconnect all of them, but since all the folders/files are the same name it should find them all.
If you wish, you can change the drive location manually. However, I've found many users 1) do not have MS Access on their machine and 2) are not experienced in using the program. If you are comfortable with the program, let me know and we'll get some directions.
Finally, I see a copy of the post in the Technical side. Since most forum users read both sides of this forum, I'm going to reference this thread in that post so anyone can see what we have tried so far.

Time machine is turned off but my startup disk keeps filling up with backup files on a hidden volume.

My Time Machine is turned off but my system startup drive keeps filling up with backup files in a hidden volume. How can I stop this? When Time Machine was turned on, the destination was set to an external drive. I was completely confused about what was happening until I used Houdini to reveal the hidden volume. I have no idea how it got created or why it keeps filling up with no backup application running to my knowledge. Thanks.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
Download this, or a similar tool if you prefer:
OmniDiskSweeper - Products - The Omni Group
Boot in safe mode. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
During startup, you will see "Safe Boot" on the login screen, which appears even if you normally log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all, possibly including wireless networking.
Does your boot volume continue to fill up? Use the above tool to explore the volume and find out where the space is going.

Directory Structures

Hi,
This is about the directory structures to use for development and
deployment under weblogic. By default, as you all know, weblogic comes with
a server called "myserver" whose directory strcuture has within it the
public_html, serverclasses, servletclasses and clientclasses directories,
with the jar files for the examples all residing in the myserver directory.
The general tendency for developers is to use simply use that very structure
as is. I think that may prove to be unwieldy during deployment (especially
when there will be multiple servers running on multiple machines, etc.) as
well as during development (integrating with source code control, etc.)
Here are my questions:
1) How have people weblogic developers organized their directory structures
for deployment? It seems to me that it would make sense to have a directory
structure that has at least a "lib" directory under which the jar files were
put, a "log" directory for log files, a "cert" directory for certificates,
etc.
2) In addition, is there an absloute need for the myserver directory to sit
under the weblogic tree? I would think it would make sense to not have the
deployment directory structures not tied to the weblogic installation's
location.
3) If there are multiple servers that will be deployed (each instantiating
its own set of services that are implemented as session and entity EJBs),
does one introduce an entire directory structure for each server or have a
common directory structure with each server having its own properties file ?
Currently, I have it setup so that each server that is introduced, e.g.,
pricing servers, fulfillment servers, etc. has its own properties file and
that the entire directory tree sits separate from the weblogic installation,
to facilitate tight integration with source code control. Having resolved
the regular issues that arise with the CLASSPATH, ClassCastExceptions, etc.,
we're up and running, but I have had a tough time convincing my developers
about the merits of deviating from the standard development tree stcucture.
Do people have any opinions about this, and are there any experiences they
can share with me? I'd be more than willing to to change course based on
others' experiences.
Sorry for the long-winded message.
TIA,
Prashanth

policy
file so Java 2 will let the server access your classes.

about the merits of deviating from the standard development tree stcucture.The "standard" directory tree exists only for the purpose of running
the examples that are shipped with WLS. The WebLogic development
team does exactly what you propose to do, and for the reasons you
state: to keep our deployment configuration under source control in a
location that keeps it separate from the examples support in myserver
and to make it easy to re-install the server without disturbing our
configuration files. We routinely run WebLogic Server from a
configuration
that completely ignores the WEBLOGICHOME/myserver directory.
Do people have any opinions about this, and are there any experiences they
can share with me? I'd be more than willing to to change course based on
others' experiences.

Directory Migration with changing schema

Hi,
We are planning a directory migration as part of an implementation of Sun Identity Manager.
The directory migration is from one set of servers to another and comprises an upgrade from Directory 5.2 to 6.3, and a schema change.
We'd like to have a rollback plan that involves copying changes from the new directory to our legacy servers. A delay is acceptable.
We're doing two things to our schema which increases the complexity:
- Users are being segregated, e.g.:
OLD: uid=123456,ou=People,ou=UK,dc=root
NEW: uid=123456,ou=Internal,ou=Users,dc=root OR uid=567890,ou=External,ou=Users,dc=root
- Replacing an ou hierarchy containing Groups (groupofuniquenames) to nsRoleDN attributes on users.
We'd like to avoid writing some kind of custom script to retrieve changes, modify them and insert them into the old directory.
Directory Proxy doesn't seem to be the right tool for this job.
Could anyone suggest an alternative?

So I have done this migration before - The directory information is not so bad to get migrated in fact the Novell IDM could do that piece for you.
Migrating the files, and security over will be an exercise in icacls
Logon scripts/Group policy preferences will need to be done to convert the existing drive mapping scripts over, Look at DFS for this so you only have to migrate once.
If everything is planned out it will keep the migration smooth, but truly understanding the role of Novell IDM in the environment, analyzing the shared files and data (Good time to cleanup, hint hint), validating the groups and security are set up correctly
will aid immensely.
I would also do in batches based on shared data and not try to move everyone at one big move, that way as departments move you can get the kinks out of the process.
From a workstation that has the novell client you can script the data copy with robocopy over to the new home
once the data is copied over, robocopy can keep the data sync'd until users are migrated over.
Novell has the ability of exporting directory structures with permissions on them, scripting icacls will get the permissions repopulated on the MS side. Groups and users of course would need to be there already.

Directory structure for ABAP+JAVA Dialog Instance

Hello,
Can any one clarify how will be the directory structure in a case where we have ABAP+Java System?
For Central Instance,DVEBMGS<instance no>
Central Services,SCS<instance no+1>
Ex:DVEBMGS20
SCS21
If I have another dialog instance,can I have only ABAP or only Java in that?What will be the directory structure?But I read that they will be in 1:1 ratio
Will it be D22(Only ABAP) or J22(Java only).

Directory Structure ?s for an Exploded Web Application

We have an application that consists only of JSPs and Servlets, no
EJBs. I am researching whether or not it's worthwhile to start using
EJBs. We're also migrating from Weblogic 5 to 6.1. I've managed to
migrate our application fine and have it up and running on WLS 6.1.
I'm confused about the exploded directory structure, the
application.xml file, where to put the EJBs and whether or not I have
to jar them. Here's our current directory structure:
DefaultWebApp/               JSPs here
DefaultWebApp/WEB-INF          web.xml and weblogic.xml here
DefaultWebApp/WEB-INF/classes     Servlets and other classes here
DefaultWebApp/WEB-INF/lib     do my un-jar-ed EJBs go here?
I've been reading a lot of BEA's documentation, particularly
‘Deploying an Exploded J2EE Application' and a ‘Web Application PDF',
and looking for relevant threads on the weblogic.developer.interest
groups. It looks like the application.xml should go in a new
DefaultWebApp/META-INF directory. But where do the EJBs go?
I also see some directory structures with another /web directory
that's confusing me.
Oh, I've also managed to compile and jar up a trial Stateless Session
EJB. Then I think I ‘auto-deployed' it into the /applications
directory, and Weblogic seems to recognize it. But when I tried to
reference it in a JSP, I got an error message ‘class x is public,
should be declared in a file named x.java'. I'm assuming this is
related to the application.xml, where I need to define the ejb
directory.
Thanks.

To deploy your web app together with your EJBs, you need to create
an "EAR" structure. Both your webapp and your EJB jars will be within
this new structure, at the same level. You may jar up your EJBs, or you
may explode their structure, it's up to you.
The resulting structure should look something like below:
EnterpriseApp/ <-- new top level
EnterpriseApp/META-INF/
EnterpriseApp/META-INF/application.xml
EnterpriseApp/lib/ <-- shared libraries (if any)
EnterpriseApp/EJB/ <-- ejbs go here
EnterpriseApp/EJB/META-INF/ejb-jar.xml
EnterpriseApp/EJB/META-INF/weblogic-ejb-jar.xml
EnterpriseApp/EJB/com/your/ejb/classes/here
EnterpriseApp/WebApp/ <-- move your current app here
EnterpriseApp/WebApp/index.jsp <-- JSPs goes here
EnterpriseApp/WebApp/other.jsp
EnterpriseApp/WebApp/WEB-INF/web.xml
EnterpriseApp/WebApp/WEB-INF/weblogic.xml
EnterpriseApp/WebApp/WEB-INF/lib <-- ui libraries go here
EnterpriseApp/WebApp/WEB-INF/classes <-- servlets go here
The above structure is identical to the structure to an EAR file, only "exploded"
as actual files and directories instead of being "jarred" into a single EAR file.
Your application.xml in this case would specify something like:
<application>
<display-name>EnterpriseApp</display-name>
<description>My Enterprise Application</display-name>
<module>
<ejb>EJB</ejb>
</module>
<module>
<web>
<web-uri>WebApp</web-uri>
<context-root>/yourAppRoot</context-root>
</web>
</module>
</application>
And in config.xml you would have an entry similar to:
<Application Deployed="true" Name="EnterpriseApp"
Path=".\config\mydomain\applications\EnterpriseApp">
<WebAppComponent Name="ui" Targets="myserver" URI="WebApp"/>
<EJBComponent Name="ejb" Targets="myserver" URI="EJB"/>
</Application>

Ant Directory structure.

Hi,
We are developing J2EE application that would contain number of components. Each component would be a ear file that would contain EJB jars and war which can be deployed in any J2EE compliant application server.
We are currently using Bedrock framework for applications deployed in Weblogic. It provides a very robust directory structure with most of the ant targets. However it is very custom for Weblogic.
Is there a similar framework that provides a robust directory structure (with built ant targets) which can be delopyed into Orion/Oracle Application Server.
If not, is there any standard directory structure for building J2EE applications? Any recommended source directory structure and why?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Sumanth

Trying to copy a directory structure without all of the files.

Hi,
Is there a way to copy a directory structure with a number of subdirectories without all of the directory files coming along with it. I thought the cpio command would do that but I can't figure out how to use it.

CPIO needs a list of files, normally you generate them with 'find', so that would work.
There's an old thread about this on comp.unix.solaris. Personally, I like my 'rsync' solution. :-) But reading the entire thread may be a good idea.

Restoring Rman backup on New Host with different directory structure

Hi,
I have a following scenario to clone the database.
1. clone the database on new server
2. source is non - ASM and target is ASM
3. On source incremental level 0 backup taken on disk connecting to catalog, the backup is moved to target host to different directory structure
4. source is running on 32-bit Linux two node Rac and Target is running on 64-bit Linux two node Rac
I did the following steps and getting below error:
1. I copied incremental Level 0 backup to target server(where we need to build new db) to different directory structure
2. On target i created pfile and build the instance, as dbf file are in multiple locations in source i put following tow parameters in init.ora of target database
*.db_file_name_convert =(/u02/oradata/app1p/,+QADATA2/udev/datafile),(/u03/oradata/app1p/,+QADATA1/udev/datafile),(/u12/oradata/app1p/,+QADATA1/udev/datafile,),(/u99/oradata/app1p/,+QADATA1/udev/datafile),(/u09/oradata/app1p/,+QADATA1/udev/datafile),(/u14/oradata/app1p/,+QADATA1/udev/datafile),(/u07/oradata/app1p/,+QADATA1/udev/datafile),(/u06/oradata/prod/,+QADATA1/udev/datafile'),(/u05/oradata/app1p/,+QADATA1/udev/datafile)
*.log_file_name_convert =("/u99/oradata/app1p/","+QADATA2/udev/onlinelog/")
3. connected to rman -->> started db in nomount -->> restored the controlfile --> cataloged the backup piece and then i am trying to restore
All the above steps i did using the Doc id *How To Restore Rman Backups On A Different Node When The Directory Structures Are Different [ID 419137.1]*
