LIghtroom 2 and college server

-I am not a techie and -I hope I get this right. i am the photographer at the college I work at. I am using Lightroom 2 to put keywords on my photos. The college techies want me to put my photos on a server ( I really don't totally understand this concept) so staff/faculty can search and download them by using keywords. The faculty and staff may not edit the photos while they are on the server. They can edit them after they download them. Is this at all possible....

Not really. Lightroom is a single-user application. They're looking for an asset management system like Canto Cumulus or Extensis Portfolio or MediaBeacon.

Lightroom Mobile and Raw files in Camera Roll

I made a new collection in Lightroom Mobile. I tried to add some files from my camera roll. The raw files in my camera roll do not show up when I click on the Add from Camera Roll button. Is working with raw files in the camera roll not an option in Lightroom Mobile? My NEF files from my mac have synced over just fine.

This reply may seem a bit old, but I just started using Lightroom (Desktop and Mobile) this week. I do a good bit of international shooting
(four continents thus far). So I am always looking for ways to improve what I do - especially keeping images safe in the field.
I am shooting with a full frame DSLR and Have and IPAD Mini 3 with 128 Gb
From my experimentation I can tell you the following:
1. You can import raw files to an Ipad using the camera connection kit. Either direct from camera or using card reader.
2. The images show up in the IPAD camera roll, but what you are really seeing is the embedded jpeg from the raw file.
3. There are other APPS that can read these - I currently use PHOTOGENE (I have nothing to do with the company, just a customer) It allows me to do basic edits as well as ad watermarks prior to sending images to Social Media etc.
My theory on Lightroom Mobile and Ipad:
Lightroom mobile syncs your edits between you collection on your Ipad and you Collection on your desktop via WIFI. All of this is done
with "smart" Previews. These are very small and take very little bandwidth.
I would imagine the syncing between the Ipad and Desktop is handled much like "copying edits" on your desktop in Lightroom. As an example - You have two different images of a dog in Lightroom on your desktop you pull up the first and increase brightness and then increase saturation. You can then choose to copy those edits - pull up the second dog image and paste the edits - and magically the second dog image has increased brightness and saturation.
So, when you are editing a Collection that started on your Desktop in Mobile on you I pad - Lightroom isn't syncing by sending the entire edited image it actually is doing a long distance cut and paste of the edits you perform (very little bandwidth).
For this to work with a RAW file that was just added to and Ipad in the field - the whole Raw image would have to be sent first. (My raw images are 23- 27 meg). So you can see the problem. As a serious photographer that sells my work, I would never consider doing final edits on Lightroom Mobile - Since I use Lightroom on my desktop in conjunction with Photoshop CC, OneOne Suite 9 and Photomatix
The reason that Photogene works is that it is only manipulating the embedded Jpeg file from Raw file. It never has to export the raw file.
DON'T DISMISS THE IPAD/Lightroom Mobile AS A VALUABLE TOOL FOR PHOTOGRAPHY - HERE ARE A FEW REASONS.
Backups in the field. When on a trip where I will be filling many cards, I don't believe in pulling a cared in and out of the camera. I leave a card in the camera until almost but not completely full. At that point I connect the Camera via USB to the Ipad Camera adapter and plug that into my I pad. I then download all images. I then remove the card and store it in a case.
I can now view my images on the bigger and WAY better Ipad Retina Screen. If I have some I want to share before I get home I can make some basic edits to the Jpeg with Photogene and send those via email, Facebook, etc.
I am not secure with on one backup of my card - So I carry a Small Ravpower unit. ($40.00 on Amazon, etc. The Ravpower serves as a backup charger for my Idevices - But most importantly it has a CF clot and a USB port. I place a cf CARD in the slot and/or a thumbdrive in the USB port. (since the Ravpower holds a charge you can also plug in a portable Drive via USB (like a WD Passport)
Using the free App for the RavPower unit I can then set up a private WIFI network between my Ipad and the Ravpower unit and copy the raw files to it. (it takes a while so I usually start this just before turning in and have both the Ravpower and the Ipad connected to charging cables. So now I have my raw stored on the card, the Ipad and whatever I hooked to the Ravpower.
Another great use of Lightroom Mobile and an Ipad is to share you images using Apple TV. My wife doesn't like to sit around the PC fpr long periods of time. So I create collections Using Lightroom Desktop and then pull them up on Lightroom Mobile and send via Apple TV and AIRPLAY as a slideshow on our large screen TV.
Hope some of the above is useful to someone.

Catalog in both lightroom 3 and 4

I am taking classes in Digital Photo at the local college. They are using Lightroom 3 and I have Lightroom 4.1 at home. Need to edit images both at home and at school. Lightroom 4 catalogs cannot be read in Lightroom 3. Is there any way to edit a catalog in both versions?

There is no way that one catalog file can be used in both LR3 and LR4.
However, individual photos can be edited in Process 2010 in both LR3 and LR4, and if you save the Metadata to the files (Ctrl-S on Windows), you should be able to transfer photos back and forth and maintain the edits and other metadata. Your edit history will not transfer, collection status will not transfer, and a few other things will not transfer, but final edited position and keywords and captions and titles and some other things (too many to list) will transfer.

Upgraded to Lightroom 5.6: Suddenly "Server Busy" dialog delays my startup for minutes

I upgraded to the latest 5.6 a month or so ago (whenever it came out I guess) and this "Server Busy" dialog loop when starting Lightroom started occurring shortly thereafter.
If I repeatedly click "Try Again" or "Switch To" things eventually start to work - no consistent pattern or timeframe that I can detect.
PC hardware is a Supermicro chassis with 2x5430 CPU, 20 GB of RAM, 2GB Seagate 7200 SATA drive(s) on an Areca RAID controller (in JBOD) for RAW image and catalog storage with LR running from the system's Win7 64 boot SSD and the LR cache set to a directory on an otherwise unused older 60GB SSD; oh, plus a pretty nondescript Radeon video adapter - can't remember what it is but it's nothing special. There is no resource problem going on - this happens when only LR is running as well as under normal use; perfmon shows almost zero CPU and tons of RAM free.
Any tips to debug this? It came on all at once, and I'm about 90% certain it was directly timed with the last upgrade. I see some similar (but much older) threads on this type of subject, most were suggesting older hardware, although some said catalog corruption caused it.
Thanks.
Brent

Thank you to everyone who has viewed my question I appreciate your time looking to see if you could offer help. I was able to ad my 2014 file back into lightroom pretty easily thank goodness my 10 month old daughters whole life captured in digital files lives in there. I am still having my first problem reguarding auto importing so if any of you could weigh in on that I would really appreciate some help. thanks in advance everyone.

Lightroom 4 and 5 my program constantly freezes while using the crop and straighten tool

In both Lightroom 4 and 5 my program constantly freezes while using the crop and straighten tool with horizontal images. Im running Lightroom on a Quad-Core Intel Xeon Mac with 32 GB of memory with OS 10.8.4, this problem has gotten worse and worse to the point where the crop tool is unusable. Please help!

Alright,
no replies so far! Anyways, here's some more information which is leading me to the conclusion that the bug causing the effect described above is a combination of Apple's SMB implementation of Mavericks and the way Lightroom is actually using SMB network access:
I did another trial by connecting a USB hard drive to the USB port of my router (Netgear). The connection is quite slow, but moving one of the folders in question (see my 1st post above) to the shared drive connected to the Router made Lightroom on my Windows machine to see the photos again, when I told Lightroom where to find the moved folder!
Everything was working as expected, on the Windows machine again! Moving the folder back again to the Mac Mini fileshare was causing Lightroom on the PC to get blind again for the pictures trying to sync or import. However, accessing and modifying a photo was possible again, like it was before the trial. So it's only the sync and import function having a problem!
I also did some trial in re-building ACLs and access rights on the file server with no luck. So there's got to be a functionality in sync and import of Lightroom which is using a certain SMB feature which is not supported by Apple's SMB implementation!
Any thoughts or hints?
Thanks!

Lightroom 4 (and 5) Develop Module Preview Problem

The Develop module in Lightroom 4 (and 30 day trial of 5) is not updating/rendering the preview as I edit RAW image files. It also doesn't show the full size preview unless I zoom in on the image in the Library view first. I do have the latest RAW and the lrdata file is in the same folder as the catalog file. I have the RAW Cache set to 5gb and noticed there is nothing in the RAW Cache folder (doesn't seem to be important for editing anyway. The Navigator window and filmstrip versions do seem to update as I make changes.

13" MBA or 15" MBP for a musician, amateur photographer, and college student?

Now, if I had it my way I'd wait for the next MBP release, but alas my mother says I must buy a laptop now.
I've heard that the MBA is great for just about every average user's needs, but I do use my computer for more than the average user does.
Right now I'm using an HP desktop which I'll be bringing with me to college: 6 GB RAM, an i5 2.67GHz processor, and a 512 GB HDD at 7200 rpm.
It has a sucky monitor, but I'm going to replace it very soon.
I'm excited to get my Mac and use Aperture with it, because I tried Lightroom and found that it is not good enough in terms of workflow, so I did not purchase it (pricey) and am just using the Nikon software included with my camera.
I work with RAW files and often import 8 GB of them at a time and edit them, convert them to jpegs. The processes are all just a little slow, with the conversion to jpegs being the worst by far. That could be because I'm using the Nikon software, though. I recall that Lightroom was lightyears faster at that.
My point it, I WANT to use the Macbook I get as my primary photo editing machine. Is this realistic? Can either of the machines I'm looking at really handle that?
The 13" MBA would be too small, wouldn't it?
If I got the 15" MBP, I'd get the hi-res screen as well.
But the MBA is just so beautiful and portable. I'm worried that the MBP will feel like a burden. Then again, 6 pounds isn't that heavy still. And I know that if I buy the MBP, they will release a new one and I will feel remorseful, but, hey, a new model will always be around the corner.
And I couldn't afford a SSD if I got the MBP. :/
If I get the MBA, it will be maxed out.
I will also probably be purchasing an external hard drive for photos in the next 6 months, so I'm not concerned about 256 GB on the MBA being too little.
As far as other uses of the computer, I do some audio recording and editing. How good are the two machines at Garageband?
I'll do a lot of word processing for school. I like to stream video, listen to music.
Also, I love the HD cam on the MBP and hate the one of the MBA. I will be Skyping a lot this year.
Oh my GOSH. Sorry for writing so much and being disorganized. Thanks for reading! Haha.

From what I see on Twitter and blogs, a lot of photography pros are picking up the new MacBook Airs as their road machines because with the new Core iX processors they are quite acceptable for performance. I've mostly read about them using Lightroom, though, and not as a primary machine, so you should take some of your raw photos to an Apple store and run some Aperture tests to see how it feels. Do you think there is enough room to see everything, or does it feel cramped?
The main problem with the MacBook Air is not being able to put more than 4GB RAM in it, but with the SSD you might not notice the lag as much. For most people the Air is a fantastic computer. I use the 15" MacBook Pro, because I use other graphics apps where I need room to display documents, filmstrips, palettes, etc. so I need mor pixels, and also because I need to be able to have more RAM.
I would guess that GarageBand wouldn't be a problem on any new Mac, assuming you're not piling on heaps of effects.

Dunning report difference in dev,testing and prod server in sap

Hi all..
we are facing a problem while executing the tcode f150 in dev,tsting and production server.
while giving the same run on and identification,the different parameters are coming and the status is geting changed.
in ker,the process is getting compelted,in testing the process is getting sceduled,complete but getting the status as"process completed but job deleted".
and in production,the status like testing server is coming but some tabs(from the too bar where delete,etc lies)are not getting to see,its not showing up.
please tell me if we can check it through some tcodes,or eliminate the eorr.
we are not able to locate the cause behind.thanks in adv.

Hi chandu,
In my previous Organisation we got exactly the same landscape for BW as you described.BCS(BAYER COPSCIENCE LTD) operates a BW System Landscape with one centralized Global Development System and three regional Quality Assurance and Production Systems located in Europe, Asia Pacific and Americas. This Landscape is to ensure consistent data models to be available in all regional systems as well as to minimize development efforts and make use of respective synergies.
This is perfectly working for BCS ,and I think, this is the most approriate way of handling of resources.

Error Message when installing Companion CD for HTMLDB 1.6 and HTTP Server

Hi. First time forum user so bear with me.
I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this but the assistance of anyone who may be able to shed some light on the problem whould be greatly appreciated. I am having a problem when attempting to install the Companion CD for HTMLDB 1.6 and HTTP Server, details given below:
The following Oracle components have been successfully installed
     Oracle 10gR2 Database.
     Oracle 10gR2 Database patch 10.2.03.
     Critical patch up date (security).
The following Oracle component failed to install.
     Companion CD for HTMLDB 1.6 and HTTP server
Scenario leading up to failure
     Extracted companion CD installation files to D:\oracle\utilities\Oracle_10_2_0_Companion
     Executed D:\oracle\utilities\Oracle_10_2_0_Companion\companion\setup.exe.
The following error message is displayed in a "JAVA VIRTUAL MACHINE LAUNCHER" dialog box
     "Could not find the main event class. Program will exit."
I have been attmepting to resolve this problem for over a week and have already checked the following with no resolution to the problem:
Cause. This issue may have to do with two issues (and may occur more on Windows):-
1. Within the ORACLE_HOME directory full pathname there is a space.
2. The directory from where the software / patch is being installed has a space within the directory full
pathname (where the file for the installation by default is named products.jar or products.xml).
Solution. To implement the solution, please execute the following steps:-
1. Rename the full pathname directory NOT to contain a space.
2. Launch again the OUI... and verify if the problem occurs.
Any further guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Can you install using OUI from the RDBMS installation? IIRC, there is a problem using OUI on companion to install companion items.

Reference to database and/or server name in '' is not supported in this version of SQL Server

Hello all
I am using C# and ADO.NET (native) - Visual Studio 2013.
I am always using full qualified queries like "SELECT * FROM [database].[schema].[table]"
Obviously there is a problem when doing this against SQL Azure,
I get the following error: "Reference to database and/or server name in '' is not supported in this version of SQL Server"
Interesting fact: With SQL Management Studio, the same query works.
I need to know if this error is really a true one or not.
If yes, I can quit using SQL Azure. I would need a SQL Server and not a partial SQL Server :-)
Thanks and best regards
Frank

Hi,
Here are my suggestions:
1. Use partially qualified queries, because:
a. from a security standpoint, you'd want to limit your login's access across the server instance
b. in order to achieve a even better, you should specify your database as the Initial Catalog directly in the SQL Connection.
If you take into account these practices, SQL Database doesn't come with any limitation from that point of view.
However, in regard to 'With SQL Management Studio, the same query works', this is actually only partially true because if you run that query agains ADO.NET, you'll actually end up in switching databases along the query which is obviously not permitted in
SQL Database since you're running in a hosted black-box version of SQL you're not managing. It's just like running the USE <dbname> command which obviously doesn't work.

How to have one centeral management console for DB and Application server?

Hi
Thank you for reading my post
I read in several places that ORACLE provide facilitis that help developers to have one centeral console to manage Application server / Database and what ever oracle products.
I want to know that, when i have Oracle 10g r2 and Application server 10.1.3.1 installed, how i can use that centeral management console?
is it some other application that i should install ?
or it is just some more configuration?
thanks

What you are looking for is called Grid Control.
You will need the Grid Control Agent installed on each server that has products from Oracle's technology stack installed (database, web server, app server, etc). You will also need install the Grid Control software and repository.
You can download Grid Control from the following link:

Understanding Application and Web Server Integration

Folks,
I am relatively new to web development and have some fundamental questions. I have read various articles and posts on these forums that describe the difference between an Application server and web server but haven't seen any on the integration of the two.
I have recently downloaded the Sun Java System Application Server, built a simple application with a couple of JSPs, servlets and static html pages and deployed it through a deployment tool that came with the application server.
Now, the application is accessible through my browser, so It seems the application server does everything I need, even for serving static pages. Do i need a web server? If so, would I implement a web server for design reasons and host static pages on that? Any hints on how to do this?
Your help is appreciated.
-joe

No you don not. However, if you had a large site, which experienced thousands of hits a minute, you wouldn't want to burden your application server with the overhead of serving static content. Otherwise, go for it.
As far as integrating an application server with a web server, I only have access integrating Tomcat with various web servers and it's not difficult at all. There's another post here (today as a matter of fact) where I give details for Tomcat and IIS.

I want to remove the COnlineBank, OnlineBank and csample applications from my application and web server.

How can I safely do this on Solaris? I've tried "iasdeploy removeapp" and "iasdeploy removemodule" with no luck. I want to clear all of this demo stuff out to make both the web and app server look more production like.
Thanks
Eric

Eric,
these applications are applogics which are not controlled by the
iasdeploy tool. Unfortunately, there is no tool available to remove
these applications for you. What you can do is to manually remove all
their entries, but be careful if you do that. If you remove the wrong
keys you might break your ias installation, so be warned and make sure
you backup the whole ias registry before attempting to remove anything.

Remote and Testing Server Site Definitions

I am confused about what information I should put in my
remote site definition info and testing server FTC Host directory
text boxes. My host placed 3 directories: database, log, and www on
my server and Dreamweaver placed two directories, Connections and
_mmServerScripts in the same directory as the above 3. I have
placed all of my site files, including my home page and folders in
the www directory and my Access database in the database directory.
Dreamweaver placed the connection info in the Connections folder an
d _mmServerScripts in the same directory.
In order to construct my local site to match the remote site,
I created a www folder on my local site and placed all of my HTML
files and supporting folders in it.
From various Adobe Tech Notes I have read, I was led to
believe my FTP host directory
Should be www/. However, when I do this and create a new web
page on my local site and upload it to my remote site, Dreamweaver
creates a new www directory inside of the one my host created on
the remote site and uploads the file to it instead of placing it in
the www directory my host created. Also, when I use F12 to test my
page in my browser I get a 404 page not found because Dreamweaver
placed a www in the page URL that shouldn’t be there and
after I remove it I’m able to see my page in my browser. My
URL prefix on my testing server site definition is:
http://I.P.number.html.
What am I not doing right?
Should I use www/ as my FTP host directory or leave it blank?
Also, what should my URL prefix be?
Thanks for your help.

What you need to do is set up so that in the remote server
you point to the
www level on the server, and don't replicate this locally.
