MDIS skipping import of blank files

Hi All,
I have a situation where in the Inbound Port at times a blank text file /0KB file arrives . Since the port is set for automated polling the blank file also gets picked up and moves to the Archive . However there is an integration process which needs to write contents /data in that file .This process of writing has a time lag of few seconds . Since the file has moved to Archive by that time  the process do not find place to write its content .
Is there any way we can configure MDIS not to import any 0 KB file .
Thanks,
Prabuddha

Hi Prabuddha,
I agree with Christian that there is no such setting in MDM.
I would suggest if you are using PI as middle ware to send this 0 kb xml file at ready folder, you can stop this in PI.
In PI>communication Channel>Processing Tab-->Empty-Message Handling=Ignore.
So in this way file with Empty XML file (0 KB) at ready folder of MDM  will not come and thus will not go Archive folder.

  • Aperture skipping import of similar file names?

    I discovered this this other day and raised the question in a "top 10 Aperture Suggestions" post. I've done more investigating since then without coming up with a solution. So I'm going to post it as it's own question here.
    Up to now my workflow has included aquiring images from either a negative scanner (which creates a TIFF), or a Nikon D100 digital camera (which creates an NEF). From there I open up the original in Photoshop, make any manipulations I need to and save the new file as a psd in the SAME folder as the original. I can easily keep track of images I have manipulated because I can see the psd right next to the original TIFF or NEF.
    I end up with images called something like photo01.TIFF and photo01.psd. They are completely different files, the TIFF being the original and the psd being the cleaned up, manipulated version - both in the same folder.
    Here's the problem. Aperture doesn't recognize that there are two different files there. Perhaps because the file names before the extension are the same, it ignores the second one during the import process.
    During my latest experiment I took an original TIFF scan of a negative called 129_20.TIFF, opened it in photoshop, did some color correction, and saved it back to the same folder, calling it 129_20.psd. I also created a smaller websized jpg of the same image and called it 129_20.jpg. Now even though there are three files in the folder with admittedly similar file names, anyone would be able to tell that they are actually different files, the original TIFF, the modified psd, and the jpg for the web.
    When I try to import those images into Aperture using either the Import>Folders into a Project command, or the Import>Images command, Aperture only sees the original TIFF and only imports that TIFF instead of the three that are in the folder. If I take the TIFF out of the folder and try again, now Aperture sees the jpg file and I can import that, but not the psd. If I take both the TIFF and the jpg out of the folder and try again, of course only now does it see the psd.
    Once the images are imported into Aperture, I notice that file name extensions are not visible under the images, so unless I click on one and use the Info window or ToolTips to show the meta data, I cannot easily see which version of the image I'm looking at in Aperture because it doesn't display the .TIFF, .psd, or .jpg extensions.
    This is troubling to me and I hope I've simply not come across some setting somewhere that will help Aperture "see" my different versions of the same image. There doesn't seem to be anything on the boards or the Aperture manual directly about this. I've stopped importing because after 14,000 images, I've realized I'm "missing" all of my Photoshop corrected ones. Before I continue importing, I'd like to figure out if there is a work-around, if it's operator error, or if Aperture doesn't can't tell the difference between similar files names with different extentions.
    Sorry about the length of this, but I'm trying to be thorough.

    Yes I discovered exactly the same thing whilst trying to overcome another problem - that aperture lost metadata on tiffs saved with IBM PC bytes rather than Mac bytes ( in this case out of house scans done on a PC ). I tried saving my files as tiff Mac, psd and jpg in the same folder but with the same name apart from the extension. As you say Aperture only sees them as one file ( although it adds up their combined file size according to the image information dialogue box window ). On import it only imports one file. If you use the 'Import Folders into a project' option from the file menu it sees the three files in the navigation section OK but again only imports one. I then experimented with doing major changes in image size and adjustments and of course that made no difference.
    I did find that I could import the files individually by dragging them one by one into a project but of course that is no help if you have thousands to import.
    After some thought I decided that perhaps that was in tune with the idea behind Aperture being that you have only one master file which you then repurpose and export as required. My conclusion about Aperture at the moment is that it would be great if we were all starting from scratch but that it is struggling to cope with the admittedly enormous task of dealing with photographers who have massive libraries of existing images created, processed, keyworded and stored in all sorts of programs. Clearly we all need access to these and the info they contain as well as dealing with our future work.
    Sorry not to be more help.
    Best wishes

  • Modifying the number of records to skip after importing the flat file

    I imported a flat file and the first row was the column header. I also created an external table for that flat file. The sqlldr is skipping the first record during the load. Is there a way to change this in the flat file module or External table?

    If you marked this row as the header in the sample wizard then you will see the following in the External Table:
    ACCESS PARAMETERS (
    RECORDS DELIMITED BY NEWLINE
    CHARACTERSET WE8MSWIN1252
    STRING SIZES ARE IN BYTES
    NOBADFILE
    NODISCARDFILE
    NOLOGFILE
    SKIP 1
    So the external table is skipping this.
    Now the issue with changing it is interesting because you cannot change this after the sampling... I think this is a bug which I will file.
    Let me know if this answers the question,

  • I have an older Sony digital camcorder, and I am having trouble importing the movie files. Sometimes I get the audio in iTunes without the picture. I have a Pinnacle Dazzle interface. What am I doing wrong. Is there a way to skip the dazzle device?

    I have an older Sony digital camcorder, and I am having trouble importing the movie files. Sometimes I get the audio in iTunes without the picture. I have a Pinnacle Dazzle interface. What am I doing wrong. Is there a way to skip the dazzle device?

    Chances are the pinnacle is producing .avi files or MPEFG1/2 streams - iTunes may know how to decode the audio but not the video. Download Handbrake and try running the Pinnacle files through it and adding to iTunes - use Universal format unless you have a specific device in mind.
    Keep copies of the originals.
    Another option might be to try to install Perian.  Can't remember if the Apple MPEG2 plugin allows MPEG2 to be played in iTunes.

  • ITunes 11 won't import .mov video files from external hard drive but will from internal.

    Hi Everyone
    I'm having a problem with iTunes 11.0.1. I can't import .mov video files stored on an external hard drive. I can however import .m4v files from the same external drive. Using either the add to library option or dragging files from the finder.
    I can add .mov files from the internal though. Strange I know.
    The reason behind this posting is that I'm using iFlicks to convert my TV and movies from my external drive for Apple TV and add all relevent meta data, keeping the files on the external drive and having iTunes link to them.
    I would like to be able to simply create a general iTune compatiable file using iFlicks which only takes a minute or two per file to convert. I'm currently converting them to .m4v just for the sack of being able to import them into iTunes from an external drive takes 45 minutes per file.
    Has anybody else had this problem? Any ideas on a fix to allow me to import .mov files from an external drive into iTunes without copying it to the iTune library file.
    Many Thanks

    This might be worth a shot - basically seeing if Vista permissions could be the culprit.

  • Import two XML file in MDM

    Hallo MDM Expert,
    I would like to import two files XML in MDM, because I carry out By Manuel import. besides, are both XML file from two different System needs to remove de-duplication of the both file and compared them. afterwards as a file to the export manager be exported.
    Please could give a Input? which step I can done to Import the both file and alimented de-duplication.
    Thank in advance

    Hi Dominique,
       To Import Second file please follow these steps:
    In Import Manager after you import your first file then go to File --> Connect to Source in import manager, a new window comes then specify your second file name and perform Import normally.
       After both the files are imported you can follow these steps to remove duplicates:
    Matching Mode is used to find and merge duplicates.This can be done in following steps:
          You have to use key mapping if incoming files are from different system.
    Step1. In Data Manager go to Matching Mode and Select Transformation tab.Right click in Transformations pane and select Add Transformation then go to Properties pane and select the field you want to transform.Do the proper substitution in substitution pane example: Suppose that there are two values Marta. and Marta due to the "." MDM will interpret them as different values but they are duplicates so to eliminate this problem you can use substitution. So specify ".' in From and Blank space in To .Create similar transformation for other fields as well.
    Step2. Go to Rules tab and Right click in Rules pane and select Add Rules then go to Properties pane and select the transformed field i.e.[XFM] .
    Specify the scores for success failure and undefined properties as per your requirement.Create similar rules for other fields as well.
    Step3. Go to Strategies tab. and Right click in Strategies pane and select Add strategies In the Rules Pane select the rules you want to include in the Strategy.Min Score and Max Score are calculated automatically. It is the sum of all individual matching rules in this strategy. Low Threshold and High Threshold classify the matching results and must be set manually. They decide the Match Class for a record upon executing the strategy.
    Step4. Go to the Records Pane and to execute the matching, select one or more records from the record set and right-click. Select Match Records from the context menu and select the relevant matching type:
    • Selected vs. Selected matches the selected records with each other
    • Selected vs. Results matches the selected records with the record set derived from the search criteria
    • Selected vs. All matches the selected records with all records in the repository
    • Results vs. Results matches all records that result from the search criteria
    • Results vs. All matches all records that result from the search criteria with the records in the repository
    Step5. On the basis of the Score select the record and See the corresponding matched records in the Matches tab and include the records you want to merge.
    Step6. Go to Merge tab and for the selected matched records select the appropriate values and then right click in the bottom pane and select merge records. So the selected records are now existing as a new single merged record.
    In order to syndicate data out of MDM follow these steps in Syndicator:
    Step1. Go to Destination Items tab in bottom pane. Right click in Destination Items window and select "Add Destination Item" from the Context menu.
    Step2. Go to "Properties" window and fill the required details.
    Similarly you can create other destination fields as per your requirement.
    Step3. Go to "Item Mapping" tab in bottom pane and Map the source field to the required destination field.
    Step4. After all the mapping is done you can "Execute Syndication" and a flat file will be syndicated.
    Note: You can syndicate Client specific data as well using Map Properties tab and selecting Output client system property

  • Import Server detects file in Ready folder but does not process

    The text file was immediately picked up and imported.  This thus proves that (1) MDIS is functioning, (2) user / password is correct.  Unfortunately you will also see from the log above that when I changed the port back to run on XML the problem has not been resolved.
    Any ideas?

  • Renderfarm error: Pre-Flight Error: Unable to import previously rendered file

    I have an error message I am receiving during network rendering on a  renderfarm, and was hoping for some help. The error is this: "Pre-Flight  Error: Unable to import previously rendered file."
    Here is my setup and some details:
    The user makes a comp, and adds it to the render queue set to render as a  quicktime movie file. Then they run a script which precomps everything  and sets it to render as a image sequence with "Skip existing files"  checked. This comp also has a post-render action set to import &  replace usage. After this comp is rendered, it gets pulled back into the  project and the original render item starts rendering the movie file  using the previously rendered image sequence as it's only layer.
    This project gets saved to a server where our render nodes are watching  the folder. All the render nodes pick up the project and proceed to  render the image sequence. Then, after they are done, 1 machine will  pick up the second render item and begin rendering the image sequence  into the final quicktime movie.
    All of this goes smoothly about 90% of the time. However, in some cases  an error shows up in the watch folder html page for the 2nd render item  (the one converting the image sequence to the movie). The error says  "Pre-Flight Error: Unable to import previously rendered file." After the  error occurs, no machines will start rendering the project.
    My first guess is that the render engine on one machine somehow skips  rendering the image sequence comp, and then tries to render the  quicktime movie comp and fails because the image sequence has not yet  been rendered. However, I can't figure out why After Effects would skip  rendering the first comp.
    Does anyone have any idea?
    Thanks for the help, and let me know if you have any more questions about the setup,
    Adam

    Well, you should get used to the fact that it's simply gone... Just looking at your screenshot makes me grind my teeth. From delayed writing of files to fragmentation in user folders to Windows doing obscure things this could be anything, but seriously, saving important files on the desktop? That is simply sloppy data management. There is no other way to say it. Read up on what proper file naming, incremental saving and backups are good for and why keeping work files separate and away from your user home directories is actually a quite simple, yet effective concept to avoid exactly that kind of issue.

  • Illustrator imports as blank?

    Iv'e been trying for the past falf an hour to import and illustrator file into Catalyst (Both CS5).  My first attempted led to failure, too many vectors so I rasterized anything I did not need.  After doing so I was able to import the file, or so I thought.  Once the loading bar was finished I was left with a blank workspace, with the right dimensions, and a single empty layer named after the bottom layer in my file.  I was wondering if the rasterized image may have been too large so I removed it and left the rest of the vector elements; doing so resulted a blank workspace without any laters.
    I've ran several searches on google and this forums however I have not found a solution.

    realty, typo. I'll watch the video as I get time, thanks.
    As for "plots" each is a shape that contains the normal button states as is colored for different Avialabilities: Sold, For Sale, Bank Owned, etc.  I would have perfered doing this with a maps API and using custom tiles and find the geocode for the each plot however the client demands flash and the use of his illustrator file.  He also was nice enough to skew the map so i could not fake it and still use a maps api in flash :-P
    575 Residential Houses
    120 Commecial Spaces
    18 Parks
    3 Schools
    I rasterized the Labels, Streets, Map, and sections of the map that are not used for interaction.
    The client wanted this built as one large single map with the ability to zoom, also all properties where to be clickable regardless of zoom level.  Each one has a hover state displaying information about the specific space you have hovered over.  When clicked they forward you to a html/css page. Code wise i can make this work, preparation and importing the file i fell im out of my league.
    Trying to figure out in general how to handle a file this large.  To get to the first 141 buttons I imported incrementally however catalyst would slow down after every import.  After Importing id create each button then optizine the vector inside the button, rasterizing would cause the program to crash faster.
    Im probably using catalyst beyond its intended, so going to have to find a better process to build maps like this.

  • Flash files with right click imported in dreamweaver files

    I am not sure what to do with the "<Body
    onload='javascript:init()..... "etc as suggested by William.
    Thanks for any advice on this!!!

    I hope there is one person out there who can help me with
    this issue.
    I have started from scratch and created a blank html with
    dreamweaver and inserted the flash file (with right click
    animation) created with Captivate.
    Then I made the adjustments as per Heinz and also included a
    ID=Captivate1 as the RightClick.js refers to that.
    The main difference between this html file and the html file
    created with Captivate, is that the Captivate one also has
    writedocument bit.
    Anyway, is there anybody in the world who can give me
    atip/hint/suggestion?????
