Malformed album data file

I am trying to split an iPhoto Library using iPhoto Library Manager (3.5.7). In Manager the library that I am trying to split shows a message that the album data file is malformed:
XML Parser error: Encountered unexpected character 2 on line 7
Old-style plist parser error: Malformed data byte group at line 1; invalid hex
What to do? There are 10 albums. Would it help to delete the albums?
Thanks,
Owen

since this is an iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - error you might look at their support page and/or contact the authors

Accidentally deleted book/album file... What data file is it stored in?

Hi. I accidentally deleted a book/album project from my iPhoto library. I've read through a few posts, and I understand that the book/album isn't a file in and of itself, but rather an entry in a data file.
Is there any way to restore to yesterday's version of this data file?
Which data file is that information stored in?
I'm looking for any help whatsoever in trying to recover this particular album/book. I'm pretty computer-savvy... Is there ANY way to recover/restore this data?
Thanks - please post a reply and also e-mail to [email protected] Thank you!

I don't, unfortunately. I clicked on a book and accidentally deleted it. It seems silly that there isn't any way to recover this information, since it took so long to create, and since it was so easily and accidentally deleted... I'm feeling hopeless. Any suggestions?

Please explain the difference, data file wise, between an album and folder

First day with iPhoto. I've just finished reading most of the help files. However, I'm still confused between the differences of an album and a folder.
Specifically; I see the iPhoto Library data tree in Finder. I get that iPhoto imports pictures to the Library. But we take pictures randomly. There's a 100% certaintly that after I import the most recent images, they'll all need to be individually moved to an appropriate sub-category area. I'll make all the areas (House, Family & Friends, Skiing ,etc..).
What I don't want to have happen is to duplicate actual photo images. I'd like to move them out of the library and into their permanent home. Otherwise, the library will turn into a 3,000 photo mish mash of pictures and be unusable.
So.. do I create my new areas as albums, or as folders? My hunch is folders. Then again, it's also possible that I'm not fully understanding the libraries functions.
Many thanks

HI Rowan,
iPhoto imports each of your camera imports or folder imports as a roll within iPhoto (set your view to View>film rolls to see them) and the Finder (under Originals/Year/roll name)
The organization within iPhoto of making albums and folders to put albums and other folders in, is only seen within iPhoto as they are actually info contained in data files. You will not see the folders and albums or even books, slideshows, calendars, etc in the finder. all the info for those is contained in data files.
The library contains all the images you have imported.
When you make Albums containing the images, you are not duplicating those images. the albums actually just reference the images that are in it.
therefor if you delete photos from an album, they will still be in your library.
If you delete photos from the library and then empty iPhoto's trash, you are deleting them from iPhoto and your hard drive.
Folders are used to organize even further within iPhoto.
Folders cannot contain loose images. You have to put images in an album first, then you can put albums in a folder.
You can also put slideshows and books etc into a folder. You can also put a folder into another folder.
There are different ways to view your iPhoto Library within iPhoto.
You can view by date, film rolls, keywords, ratings. Go to View in the menu bar and click on it and scroll to your choice.
I personally view by film rolls (imports) and keep the film rolls closed (option click on the disclosure triangle of an open roll to close all rolls)
So now I will offer you more info just in case you might need it:
--First thing to know and remember is this...Do not drag any images, folder of images into the iPhoto Library in the Finder. Images have to be imported into iPhoto within the application. Do not scan images and save them into the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder. Save them to another location such as the Pictures folder or even the desktop. You can then import them into iPhoto.
If you have already put files/folders in the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder then you will also find out that if you try to import them into iPhoto you will get an error message. No worry, just drag them to the desktop and import from there.
--All images that you import are shown in the library view. You can choose how you want to view, by rolls, by date, by rating, etc. When you put images in an Album, slideshow, book, etc, you are actually just putting pointers to those images in the library. You are not adding more images. If you delete an image from the Album it will still be in the library. If you delete an image from the library it is deleted from iPhoto's database and your hard drive (unless you have it backed up somewhere else)
--You have a folder of images on your hard drive and want to import them into iPhoto. Drag the folder of images into an open iPhoto Library window and the folder of photos will be copied into the library, resulting in a new roll with the name of the folder. You now have two copies of those photos, the ones in iPhoto's database and the ones on your desktop. You can keep the ones on your desktop that you just imported as backup or you can delete that folder.
-- you scan a picture/pictures and save it in a folder. You cannot scan directly into iPhoto or the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder.
You want all your photos in iPhoto so you import them into iPhoto.
Now you have two copies of that picture/pictures, so you can delete the originals that were in the scanned folder and keep the one/ones that were imported into iPhoto.
-- You download pictures from your camera into iPhoto.
There is now one copy of each of the pictures. (DO NOT HAVE IPHOTO DELETE THE IMAGES FROM YOUR CAMERA! DELETE THEM MANUALLY WITH THE CAMERA-if something goes wrong with the import and they are never imported and then they are deleted from the camera you might end up losing those images)
You want to change something about a picture you imported, such as
cropping it or changing the size, or changing the orientation.
Once you do that to a picture, you now have two copies of the picture
in iPhoto, the original and the edited one. The edited one will be in the library organize view. The original is packed away in an Original folder in your iPhoto Library folder under the date of the roll. You can always revert to the original by control clicking on the photo and choose "revert to orginal" You will not have this choice if you used iPhoto Diet to get rid of the Originals.
(a quick note on cropping within iPhoto...when you are in edit mode, you automatically will be in the crop mode with cross hairs to highlight the crop area. To finish cropping you must click the crop button and then go back to library view and your cropped picture will be there.
3.You want to use Photoshop or another graphic program to edit a picture in your iPhoto library.
You can open up prefs for iPhoto and choose "when double clicking on
photo ..do" choose "other" and select Photoshop. Now you can edit all
pictures in your iPhoto library in PhotoShop by double clicking. If you save the photo with the same name and as a flattened file it will be saved right into iPhoto and you will see the changes. If you don't want to save it into iPhoto then do a "save as" and save to the desktop. You will then have the original photo still in iPhoto and your new edited photo on the desktop.
Or, with iPhoto open, you can drag a picture from the library window
to your desktop (you see a + sign on the pic you are dragging). You now
have two of the same picture, one in the iPhoto library and one on your desktop. You can open up the one on your desktop in any graphic program and work on it. The one in iPhoto stays the same. You can also share/export the picture/pictures to your desktop or folder to work on them or do batch processing, etc. You will still have the originals in your iPhoto Library.
Or, you can open up the ~/Pictures/iPhoto Library/folders and option drag any
picture out of the folder to your desktop. Notice that you will see a plus sign while dragging the photo. This is copying the file to your desktop
I would advise anyone not to do this as they might forget to use the option key and drag the photo out. Next time you open iPhoto the photo will be missing.

Backing up your iPhoto Library
1. Burn the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder to a CD or DVD
This method will give you a burned iPhoto Library folder that can be copied back to your computer to replace a damaged library. You can also use this method to backup an old library when you want to create a new Library to use as your current library.
insert a blank CD into your internal or external CD-RW drive and copy the iPhoto library to the CD icon on your desktop. When you drag the CD icon to the Trash/Eject button in the Dock, you are given the option to burn the CD. Click Burn and the CD is created. To burn a DVD backup of your digital images, use a DVD and a SuperDrive-equipped Mac
The easiest way to burn an iPhoto Library folder in the Finder that is larger than 4.7 gig to fit on one DVD is to burn sections of the folder.
Drag the iPhoto Library folder to the desktop
Double click the folder to open it.
Drag each Year folder to the desktop.
You should be left with the iPhoto Library folder containing all the data files, and the Year folders.
Combine whatever year folders that amount closest to a DVD burn size on one DVD. Make sure that you have burned all the Year folders, then the iPhoto Library folder with all the data files.
If you ever need to use this backup, insert the DVDs into your computer and copy the folders to the desktop. Put all the Year folders back into the iPhoto Library folder. Then put the iPhoto Library folder back into the Pictures folder.

2. Copy the ENTIRE iPhoto Library to an external drive formated for a Mac. Do not use this as your only back up as the external can also go bad.
3. Copy the ENTIRE iPhoto Library to your iPod in disk mode
4.Creating your own CDs and DVDs for viewing in iPhoto
This method is a great way to back up Albums of older photos or even your entire library if it is small enough to fit on a DVD. This method will give you a library that will mount within iPhoto in the source column to be viewed. To import any images from this library they need to be dragged into your library in the source column.
If you just want to backup the images in your library:
1) Within iPhoto select the images, albums or rolls you want to backup. Go to Share>Export and export them to a newly created folder on the desktop. Follow the directions in the next link.
Creating a CD or DVD to be viewed in Windows or by a photo processing company
1.. If you backed up the entire iPhoto Library by burning within iPhoto or burning the folder in the Finder, make sure the burned copy is a good working copy before you delete the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder. You delete the iPhoto Library in the finder by dragging it to the trash when iPhoto is closed. When you next launch iPhoto it will create a new empty library for you to start anew.
2. If you burned just the images, be aware that that is all you are archiving. No metadata will travel with the images such as comments, keywords, etc.
You can then delete those images within iPhoto by highlighting them and hitting the delete key, then empty iPhoto's trash. Do this often and in groups so iPhoto will not choke on too many images.
Importing Images from the hard drive, CD, or DVD
To import a folder with subfolders of images maintaining the same organizational structure (or close to it):
Drag the folder into iPhotos viewing area.
A film roll will be created with each sub folders name. To view the rolls in the Library you need to first go to the menu bar and choose View>by film rolls.
To make each roll into an Album, highlight the tile of the roll
Go to File>new album from selection.
You will now have an Album in the source column with the images from that roll. Do this for each roll if you want them to be an Album. This is your choice.
Next, go to the menu bar and hit File>new folder
Name this new folder with the year or whatever the name was of the Parent folder containing the subfolders that you had dragged into iPhotos viewing area.
Next drag all the Albums into the respective new Parent folder you just made.
Albums- collection of images from one roll or many rolls. The Albums will be listed in your source column when you make them. The albums only contain placeholders for the images that are still in the library. They are not duplicates.
Rolls- rolls are created when you import folder of images. It will be given the name of the folder you are importing.
Rolls are also created from each import from your camera. You are given the option to name the roll at import.
Folder-a folder you create manually using the File>new folder command
Folders can hold Albums, slideshows, books, another folder, etc.
One other way you can import a folder of images and have an Album created for it as the same time it is imported as a roll in the Library view:
Drag each folder of images into the source column of iPhoto. When you see the plus sign, drop it in the source column.
An album will be created in the source column, and the roll that the album was created from will be in the library view window.
Hope this helps!

How do I create a data file of my library

I would like to create a data file that will list artist/album for my iTunes library. I would like to put this on my iPod so that I know exactly which albums I have so I do not buy duplicates when I am out rummaging at used record stores. How do I go about doing this besides typing the whole thing in Appleworks?

Creating such a list as pdf file is quite easy:
In iTunes select your Library
File - Print: Album Listing/List of albums
Print - Save as PDF
If in need of any conversion: copy all entries from that pdf and paste it to whatever application you want.

Restore time machine backups folder or iPhoto library to get album data?

Simply said, can I use Data Rescue or Disk Drill to restore old Time Machine backups instead of just the entire glob of files? I'm specifically looking for an iPhoto backup with albums and metadata, instead of just restoring the photos themselves. See below for more details.
I am an amateur or hobbyist photographer. Recently I noted that I have over 70,000 photos in iPhoto and it was really dragging. Kept telling myself to clean it up but never found the time. The other day, it said this version needs to be upgraded. Clicked ok, and when done, all my photos were gone. I have the iPhoto Library on an external and I could see that "it" was still there (almost 700gb) so I went to work trying to find a solution. Went through all of the rebuilding options with no luck and then got my stupid, "I got this" hat on. I said, no problem, I have Time Machine and I'll just restore the iPhoto Library from a few days ago when I know it was working fine. Deleted that "corrupted" library first, went to Time Machine and didn't realize that TM, at the VERY same time, must've run out of room and reset itself - it only had a brand new backup with the now-empty iPhoto Library in it. Luckily, I found all of my photos and have them safe on an external. I've also decided to backup to a cloud site (should've done a long time ago!!) and I'm researching which photo-management software will be best to catalog my pix going forward (likely Lightroom) as the Apple peeps said iPhoto isn't really built to handle that type of load.
I know I can just re-import my found photos but have I lost all of my album and event data forever? When I go to the iPhoto Library and Show Package Contents, it looks like all that data is still there. Will that just "reset" once I bring back my photos? Otherwise, I have run both Data Rescue and Disk Drill and can see all of the files - either those deleted from the external, or the deleted files that were being backed up by TM on my other external TM disk. However, the reconstructed files don't seem to include an "iPhoto Library" or a backups.backupdb by name and I'm afraid if I do all the work to restore either of those, I'm stuck in the same situation I have now - all of the photos but no album data. Went through these posts extensively and tried all of Pondini's recommendations too.
In the end, do I chalk this up as a learning experience and spend 2-3 days recreating albums and organizing my photos? Or, is there a way that I can get all that organizational data back - from the iPhoto package contents, restoring from the external, or restoring an old TM backup?

What I would do is restore the older version to a different location. Then first try the following on it:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.
If that doesn't do the trick continue with
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.>Click on the Add Library button,
2 - select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
3 - make sure that in the rebuild window the checkbox "Scavange orphaned photos" is checked.
4 - now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
5 - in the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed. Click on the Create button.
Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
Note 2: Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

Contents of iPhoto 6 data files

I'm trying to get a comprehensive understanding of the data structures of iPhoto 6. For the life of me I can't find any previous postings that explain all the files. In particular, I'd like to understand (high level) the contents of the following files:
AlbumData.xml
Dir.data
iPhoto.ipspot
iPhotoLock.data
Library.data
Library.iPhoto
Library6.iPhoto
Thumb32Segment.data
Thumb64Segment.data
ThumbJPGSegment.data
I know that the Thumb*.data files have thumbnails in them, but don't know what the difference is between the three files. I'm assuming the iPhotoLock.data is a semaphore to lock out multiple accesses to these data files. And I have divined that AlbumData.xml contains the roll and album information for every photo, in addition to some other good stuff.
What I understand the least are the three Library*.iPhoto files. In particular Library6.iPhoto is big (~100Mb for 6000 pics)--what's in there?!
Thanks!
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.7)
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.7)

So I want to know what they are so I can experiment with doing some of my photo management in iPhoto, and some directly through the file system. And I want to try to do things like delete Library6.iphoto but I don't want to spend an hour re-entering the dates for all of my rolls when iPhoto recreates the rolls with the weird dates that it grabs.<<<</div>
That's what I had expected. Don't tamper with the iPhoto library unless you enjoy bleeding ulcers. The following is pasted from the iPhoto "Help" screens:
IMPORTANT: If you move, delete, rename, or otherwise touch files or folders within this folder, you may be unable to see your pictures in the iPhoto application.
What is it that you want to do that you're unable to do from INSIDE iPhoto?

Getting track, artist, album data to post on iTunes downloads

ITunes when downloaded does provide tack names, album, artist, composer, etc data that will print out on an insert for a jewel case. How do I get this info to transfer to my 321 GSX when the newly burned CD is recorded on my Bose unit? Entering this data manually via the Bose software is time consumming and very tedious. This data is captured (typically) by the 321 GSX when a CD bought at a store is added to the recorded library.

I guess the question is what information does the ID tag show? My car player manual says only the song name will appear.
Using toast (I haven't got an iTunes mp3 disk to work in my car player) it seem that toast uses the file name as the ID tag. One song showed up as Dive on iTunes, when I imported it to toast it showed up as 01 Dive.mp3, the actual file name, and "01 Dive" showed in the text window of the car player.
So if you wanted to have all the information you would like ONE way to do it is to copy the artist and album data and add it to the name in toast, probably in front of the .mp3 suffix. Then it should show you the name, artist and album.

Possibly Corrupt Catalog .Dat Files - A Serious Problem?

This question continues from http://forums.adobe.com/thread/804620?tstart=-1.
The three .dat files (backupCt.dat, collstatus.dat and tagstatus.dat) in one of our Adobe\Catalog Folders subfolders ("Paintings") may be corrupted. Whereas these files appear to be rewritten routinely, along with the thumb.5.cache file, each time Adobe Photoshop Elements is opened to one or another of our catalogs, the three files have not been rewritten for the Paintings catalog since 3/9/11, although that catalog has been opened almost every day. This situation came to my attention because the three files showed up in error messages in the Second Copy backup program I run every night, saying that the three files could not be copied because access is denied. In my previous post (referenced above), MichelBParis suggested that I could delete those files safely and that they would be rewritten when the catalog was next opened. However, I can't delete the files, rename them, or move them elsewhere because of the access denied status (I get an error message asking me to be sure that the disk is not full or write protected [which it is not] and that the files are not currently in use [which they are not, at least as far as I can tell -- Adobe Photoshop Elements has been closed when I have attempted all procedures, and I don't see any other applications or processes running, as per Task Manager, that I can immediately identify as belonging to Adobe). I have thought about restarting the computer in Safe Mode to see if I can delete the files then. However, I am a bit nervous about trying this, as the Paintings catalog in question is huge and of enormous importance to my wife -- I don't want to do something that might inadvertently make it impossible to access or use that catalog (as happened to us once before when we were using Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2, and the catalog became corrupted).
My questions:
(1) Does anyone know what these three .dat files actually do? I've not so far been able to find this information via Google.
(2) If these files remain in their present state (access denied and non-rewritten), do we run the risk of ending up with a serious problem down the road and loss of our ability to access the catalog (or some other loss of functionality)?
(3) Would it be safe for me in fact to delete these three files if I can find a way to do so (e.g., in Safe Mode)?
(4) If it would, indeed, be safe for me to delete the files, and if that would seem to be a next step to try, are there any suggestions for how I could go about doing so?
(5) Any other suggestions about how I can get the Paintings catalog back in proper shape?
Thanks for any help anyone can provide!

Most likely the files are not corrupt if your basis is that the backup program cannot open the files. However, I would be concerned about the security settings in the files if multiple users need to access the same catalog. This might be why you aren't seeing any changes to the time/date because one of the user doesn't have rights to modify the file.
Please tell me what OS you are running and what version of PsE?
For PsE 9 (and I think 8), you can modify the media-analysis options from the Organizer...
Menu 'Edit->Preferences->Media-Analysis'
Uncheck either checkbox as shown in the red circles
After hitting 'OK', exit the organzier and reboot.
See if you can access the .Dat files.
Instead of copying the catalog, I would just create a new empty catalog. This can be done as follows...
Menu 'File->Catalog...'
Make sure you note where the current catalog is located before you continue. The name of the current catalog is found in the box at the bottom of the dialog with [Current] added to the end of the name. Now...
Click on 'New...'
Enter the new catalog name.
Click on 'OK'
The organizer will use the new catalog. You will now see nothing is in the organzier.
See if you can access the .dat files. You may need to reboot.
You can select the previous catalog as follows...
Menu 'File->Catalog...'
Click on the previous catalog name
Click 'Open'
There is something not right with the security settings especially if you want multiple users to be able and access the catalog. As far as how things got messed up -- I have no idea. Some possible options are that one user has more rights than another user. The one with more rights created the files just fine but the other user has no way to read the files. Or someone was messing with the security settings.
Security settings in Windows can get very complex very fast. I hesitate attempting to walk through this can be done because there could be many factors which has caused this issue. You could have specific security settings on the files which override parent directory security settings. Or the parent directory security setting could simply be wrong.
You first need to determine if both users need write access to the catalog. If this is the case and they are not administrators, I would go ahead and set the security settings on the folder containing the catalog. You do need to be careful so you don't remove security settings such that you cannot even make changes to the security settings. Make sure you give full control to "This folder, subfolders, and files" in the Permission Entry dialog.
I would encourage you to look at the effective permissions on all files in the catalog after making any changes and before you start up PsE again. I have no idea what would happen if the security setting was wrong on a single file. This could cause a corrupted catalog depending on how PsE is written.

[SOLVED] Subversion, xinetd, and "Malformed network data"

Hi,
I currently have a Subversion 1.5.2 server running through svnserve + xinetd. When I attempt to connect to my subversion server, however, I get:
svn: Malformed network data
Below is the contents of my xinetd config for subversion:
service svn
flags = REUSE
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = svn
group = svn_group
server = /usr/bin/svnserve
server_args = -i -r /srv/svn/repo
log_on_failure += USERID
disable = no
This is located in the file: /etc/xinetd.d/svn
I run the following command only to find that it fails:
$ svn ls svn://localhost/myrepository
svn: Malformed network data
I've checked my xinetd log, however I see no failure. I can even put a completely bogus repository URL into SVN and it'll still give the same error:
$ svn ls svn://localhost/iosudohslkj2223oijosdijfaksjdlfkj
svn: Malformed network data
Anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

Is there a data File?

I am planning on reformatting my hard drive, and reinstalling windows. Is there a data file for photoshop album starter edition so that I do not lose all of my tag information? All of the photos themselves will be backed up on cds.

Yes:

While importing a request error message' Check-sum error in data file'

Hi Friends
I have a problem.
We are trying to inport a request after putting the files in cofile and data file folders( 4.6C System).While doing so an error message is seen in the log " Check-sum error in data file after XXXX bytes".
Can some one help me with this?
Thanks

Hi Ankur,
It is sure your file is corrupted or not present.
Check in cofiles and data directory under /usr/sap/trans your transport request number.

Can not restore data files from backup set

I am trying to restore Server A's backup data to Server B (they are all oracle11g) using rman. The restore commands is below:
rman target /;
shutdown immediate;
startup nomount;
restore controlfile from '/usr/local/oracle/backup/20100418/ctl_xxx'
alter database mount;
catalog start with '/usr/local/oracle/backup/20100418/';
restore database;
recover database;
alter database open resetlogs;
For the first time, it works. But when i tried to restore another backup data by the same way:
rman target /;
shutdown immediate;
startup nomount;
restore controlfile from '/usr/local/oracle/backup/20100425/ctl_xxx'
alter database mount;
catalog start with '/usr/local/oracle/backup/20100425/';
restore database;
recover database;
alter database open resetlogs;
The second time, i found that rman restore the old backup data, which means that it restore the data file under '/usr/local/oracle/backup/20100418/' instead of '/usr/local/oracle/backup/20100425/'.
So I run 'list backup of database summary' to see the backup set lists in control file.

there's no backup set 945 at all. that's why i could not restore data file under '/usr/local/oracle/backup/20100425/' at the second time.
So, why two backup list is different ? how can i restore datafile under '/usr/local/oracle/backup/20100425/' ?
My backup script is below:
run{

backup incremental level 0 as backupset format '$DIR/`date +%Y%m%d`/data_%d_c0_%T_%u' database;

My purpose is to use the newest backupset of Server A to update Server B. So if Server A crush, Server B will be useful. Is there any other way to do that ?
retention policy :'configure retention policy to redundancy 4'
And Server A do LV0 backup every 7 day, and do LV1 backup ervery other day.

RMAN duplicate target using set until telling me it can not find data files

I have RMAN scripts that I use freqently to clone a database from DB (production) to another (non-prod). These work just fine. I use the set until so that I can tell it at what point I want the new DB to be created from the backups of the source.
I had a request to go back a few weeks and the backup files (I do compressed backups to disk) were on tape. I had my backup person restore my backup directory for the source DB as it looked on a certain day (May 28). I have an 8 day retention policy and so the backup files that were restored showed files all the way back to 5/20 ( includes the point I want to use in my set until clause).
However, whenever I try to execute the rman clone, it tells me for each datafile:
RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile 1 found to restore
Like I said, I am able to do this for a current backup that is on disk. I moved the backup files to the source db server and it works fine. However, from these files restored from tape it errors.
Here is the RMAN script:
spool log to c:\temp\clone_CSPROD_CSPRSUM1.log;
#connect to catalog <catalog info>
# target is the source and auxiliary is destination
#connect target <put in source info here>
#connect auxiliary /
run {

allocate auxiliary channel d2 type disk format 'F:\backups\CSPROD\d2\CSPROD_DATA_%s';

Maybe making progress.
I got into RMAN and did a List backup command. In looking at the output, I see that it does have the 5/20 backup showing. Here is part of the output:

I then changed my rman script to use the *237046947* SCN number that says it is from 5/20. I them kicked off my rman script and got the following result.

What I am not sure is if the SCN I used in my set until sequence command was from 5/20, when I look at the backup pieces that it is reading to restore from, they appear to be from backup files taken from June.
(e.g channel d1: reading from backup piece F:\BACKUPS\CSPROD\D3\CSPROD_DATA_6148 -- this is a 6/16 backup file).
Also, as you can see it was not able to do a media recovery.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I have a VI and an attched .txt data file. Now I want to read the data from the .txt file and display it as an array in the front panel. But the result is not right. Any help?

The problem is in the delimiters in your text file. By default, Read From Spreadsheet File.vi expects a tab delimited file. You can specify a delimiter (like a space), but Read From Spreadsheet File.vi has a problem with repeated delimiters: if you specify a single space as a delimiter and Read From Spreadsheet File.vi finds two spaces back-to-back, it stops reading that line. Your file (as I got it from your earlier post) is delimited by 4 spaces.
Here are some of your choices to fix your problem.
1. Change the source file to a tab delimited file. Your VI will then run as is.
2. Change the source file to be delimited by a single space (rather than 4), then wire a string constant containing one space to the delimiter input of Read From Spreadsheet File.vi.
3. Wire a string constant containing 4 spaces to the delimiter input of Read From Spreadsheet File.vi. Then your text file will run as is.
Depending on where your text file comes from (see more comments below), I'd vote for choice 1: a tab delimited text file. It's the most common text output of spreadsheet programs.
Comments for choices 1 and 2: Where does the text file come from? Is it automatically generated or manually generated? Will it be generated multiple times or just once? If it's manually generated or generated just once, you can use any text editor to change 4 spaces to a tab or to a single space. Note: if you want to change it to a tab delimited file, you can't enter a tab directly into a box in the search & replace dialog of many programs like notepad, but you can do a cut and paste. Before you start your search and replace (just in the text window of the editor), press tab. A tab character will be entered. Press Shift-LeftArrow (not Backspace) to highlight the tab character. Press Ctrl-X to cut the tab character. Start your search and replace (Ctrl-H in notepad in Windows 2000). Click into the Find What box. Enter four spaces. Click into the Replace With box. Press Ctrl-V to paste the tab character. And another thing: older versions of notepad don't have search and replace. Use any editor or word processor that does.

OraRRP Error with "Unable to copy data file;Error code 2, check disk space"

Hi,
Some users get this message -"Unable to copy data file;Error code 2, check disk space" when run report with orarrp, but most users do not get it.
I check free space at both server and client side, they are very sufficient.
I also checked directory exists for REPORTXX_TMP variable.
My user call reports via URL (rwservlet) and it occur for all reports.
How I can solve this problem?
Thanks in advance.
Tawatchai R.

Hi,
have the same problem now. One user has temporarily problems to download .rrpa files via URL (rwservlet) request. Error code: -"Unable to copy data file;Error code 2, check disk space". Did you get a solution??
Thanks in advance. Axel
