Metadata loading forever from some DNG files

Hello guys,
I have LR4 under Win7 and for some folders containing DNG files the metadata loading takes forever. I.e. for the first 10 dng files the metadata will load in 5 seconds, for the next 10 files the metadata keeps loading forever and for the last 10 files the metadata will load in 5seconds.
Do you have similar experience? Any resolution?
Boris

I tried to load the images in a program of my own for the analysis of raw images; it said, that those files were not TIFFs at all. Then I looked at the file content with a "neutral" program, without interpreting it and found, that it starts with "8BPS", which is the internal identification of PSD files. I renamed one and loaded in PS with success. The JPEG file to can be easily recognized when viewing the content in binary format.

Cannot read or extract NEFs from some DNG files

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help.
I've got a subset of DNG files from an older shoot that have somehow become undreadable. There are 119 bad files out of 1436 total images from the shoot. All of the bad files are in a consecutively numbered range (e.g., they are not randomly distributed).
I'm on a 64-bit Windows 7 system. The bad files do not open in Bridge, Photoshop, CaptureOne, etc., nor will the images thumbnail in Windows Explorer using either the Adobe or Ardfry DNG codecs. I have no idea when or how the corruption occurred, whether is came about from use of a software program, or had something to do with a bad file copy operation. But my current backups are also corrupted.
However, I always embed the original NEFs or CR2s in my DNGs, and so I was hoping to extract the originals. However, the DNG Converter refuses to operate on these files, though they appear to be of the right size.
Does anyone know of a way to salvage the original RAW NEFs from these damaged files? Is anyone at Adobe looking for a little science project? :-) I would be grateful for any suggestions...
Thanks very much,
Gary

I will attach a link to a troubleshoting document for this issue. If this does not resolve the issue you could TRY a restore to befor the issue started occurring, or a recovery MIGHT do the trick if it is not an actual hardware failure in the optical drive. The clicking concerns me that it might be a hardware issue... is it the typical clicking that you will hear when a disc is initially being read or is it a more aggressive clicking??
There is a fix in this link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/982116 that has you go in and delete the upper and lower filters in the registry. It is a little tricky, so I suggest you follow it WORD for WORD once you are actually in the registry.
I have seen deleting the upper and lower filters resolve most optical drive issues that were not hardware related.

Faillure writing metadata to some DNG files

I'm having a problem writing metadata to some dng files using Lightroom 2.6.1. When I try to apply a metadata template to a batch of files most of them get changes but a few don't. This only effects DNG files so far JPEG and TIFF seem to be OK. I have tried running the problem files through DNG converter and the new files have the same problem. Lightroom won't write to them.
I can change the metadata of these files from Bridge. The changes then appear properly in Lightroom. Afterwards I can change the metadata again from Lightroom.
I'm working on a MacBook Pro (Late 2008) and running OS 10.6.2.

I created a preset to export to same folder as original, same format as original, and stack with (above) original. I used this on the seven files, and it has solved the problem without losing any metadata.
The jpegs had at some point been processed by Photoshop Elements as they were imported/edited using that application in 2010 but the metadata problem didn't show up until recently when I was making some adjustments in Lightroom. I somehow think this may be related to the GPS tag though I don't have sufficient evidence.
The DNG file was strange in that it was straight the camera with no Lightroom adjustments, although I did add GPS info in the Map module. Anway it is now fixed as well as the jpegs.
With this preset it would be possible quickly to fix a large number of image files. Just create a Smart Collection to display the problem files and run the preset on them all in one go. The only things that I am aware of that you would need to look out for are (1) if they are in a collection other than a smart collection, or have been published to a service like Flickr or to the Hard Disk the link will be broken, and (2) If you like to sort photos by date/time added, they will be out of the sequence (capture time is fine).
When you are satisfied that this has worked OK then you can delete the images from the "Metadata Not Up To Date" smart collection. Select all, go to all photos, they should remain selected and press Delete. You could do a thousand in one go if you have the nerve for it
Hope this helps.

Error while loading data from a text file to a datastore

Hi all,
i am a starter in ODI. I am trying to load data from a text file into a datastore. I have put the file on a unix server whose location is defined in the topology manager. when i am trying to "view data" it is giving me error file does not exist at <location where i have put the file>. Please help me

Hi,
1. If your files are on a remote File System, you will need to copy one of your files to the machine ODI Designer is running on to allow ODI to retrieve the metadata information of the file.
2. In Topology create a Physical Schema, the directory you enter for Data and Work Schema should point at this local file.
3. Then define the File Datastore in ODI Designer. Enter a name, browse and select the file and fill in each filed of the Files tab.
* If its a Fixed file, click on the grid icon on the Columns tab to enter the columns and have Automatic Adjustment checked.
* If its a Delimited file, use the Reverse button on the Columns tab to reverse the columns.
* Right click on the File Datastore select View Data, if you can view data, that means the File Datastore has been defined correctly.
* If not, check each tab of the File Datastore to make sure everything is defined correctly and retry.
4. Once View Data is successful, you now change the directories (Data and Work Schema in Topology) to point at the remote File System. These directories must be accessible to the ODI Agent that will be used to run the transformations. The directory can be an absolute path (m:/public/data/files) or relative to the ODI Agent startup directory (../demo/files). It is strongly advised to use a UNC (independent from the execution location) for the path. When running the transformations with "no agent", the directory is relative to the directory where Oracle Data Integrator has been installed.
You need to have a agent process running at the system where your source file resides .
Then while running the odi interface choose that agent .
Thanks,
Sutirtha

Right-clicking "data" on the model tab can you see the data?
In your code there's written:

Is it right the double slash before the file name?

Syntax error while loading hierarchy from an external file

Dear Expert:
I am new to BW and I met a problem today while loading hierarchy from an external file. Actually I am following below article to load the hierarchy:
/people/prakash.bagali/blog/2006/02/07/hierarchy-upload-from-flat-files
When I schedule the infopackage, the error message says: "Syntax error in template RSTMPL9C, ROW 76". Actually there is only around 20 lines of records.
Since I am not familiar with hierarchy load, so:
1. while loading from external file, do I need to create one hierarchy in advance through "Maintain Hierarchies" in the infoobject? My understanding is since I can load that hierarchy from file, so I do not need to create one in advance, once the load completed, the hierarchy should automatically generated there. Is my understanding correct?
2. Before loading the hierarchy, do I need to load the master data of external characteristics in the hierarchy first? Here in my example, the sales hierarchy has 2 external characteritics (Country and region) in the hierarchy. Do I need to load some data first?
3. My 'Preview' function in the infopackage is gray so that I can not test the data loading. Why is it gray?
Information like file name, file dir, file type(csv), seperator should be correct there.
Can anybody help me take a look into that? Many thanks for your time in advance!
Tim

Hi ctsiszidane:
There are some other SAP Notes that can help you solve the problem. Depending on your Support Package level check which of them is applicable.
Note 659461 - RSAR 682: Syntax error in template RSTMPL9A, row 246
Note 605690 - Escape characters are not processed correctly
Note 620152 - Syntax error in RSTMPL9A during data loading from a file

Problem – loading HTMLtext from a text file

Problem – loading HTMLtext from a text file
Hi, I have a dynamic text set up to render text as HTML and I
am loading the text into the text object by using the code below.
var loadText:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("Nyheter.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function(success){
if(success){
Nyheter_txt.htmlText = this.VariabelTekst;
The textfile looks like:
VariabelTekst=(13.11.2006)This is the tittleHere
comes the text
It works almost fine but the first problem is that the
paragraph text in the textfile should be written in Norwegian. This
involves some Nordic characters. By default these characters are
just shown as small square in the text control when running the
flash file. If I try to enter these characters in the textbox
“Include these characters” within the dialog for
embedding, the text within the bold tag of the text file is not
shown when the text is rendered. It looks as if it effect the HTML
rendering of the text. The Nordic characters are still not showing
but instead the small square placeholders for the characters are
gone.
Am I doing it wrong, or is there a work around for solving
this problem?
Any ideas?

Hi ,
for this Error one and only one solution
go to view Code, line number and Column number shown in error message,
and Remove code from there till last and save it, it happens when we are moving Package from one server to another server. and VS adds some lines of code at the bottom of package
something like this
andles="1" allownudging="1" isannotation="0" dontautolayout="0" groupcollapsed="0" tabstop="1" visible="1" snaptogrid="0">
<control>
<ddsxmlobjectstreaminitwrapper binary="00080000921400008c040000" />
</control>
<layoutobject>
<ddsxmlobj>
<property name="LogicalObject" value="{BBFB0E
Remove this code and save package it will work.
hope this will help to Developers who are searching for same ......... :)

How to load data from a flat file which is there in the application server

HI All,
how to load data from a flat file which is there in the application server..

Hi,
Firstly you will need to place the file(s) in the AL11 path. Then in your infopackage in "Extraction" tab you need to select "Application Server" option. Then you need to specify the path as well as the exact file you want to load by using the browsing button.
If your file name keeps changing on a daily basis i.e. name_ddmmyyyy.csv, then in the Extraction tab you have the option to write an ABAP routine that generates the file name. Here you will need to append sy-datum to "name" and then append ".csv" to generate complete filename.
Please let me know if this is helpful or if you need any more inputs.
Thanks & Regards,
Nishant Tatkar.

Need help in loading data from a csv file to a table in Oracle DB

Hi,
I am using sqlplus as a client to connect to the server.
I am trying to load data from a csv file from a client to a table in Oracle DB server.
I am trying to use the below command
" LOAD DATA INFILE 'test.csv' INTO TABLE testTable FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' (test1,test2,testc3,testc4); "
But, I am encountered with the following error
"SP2-0042: unknown command "load data" - rest of line ignored."
Thanks in advance.
SB

Hey Frostmann,
That was a nice post....
I changed my mind to use an 'Insert into' statement from a shell script.
I created a DB table named test and I tried using the below shell script to insert a row in the table.
sqlplus test/test@test <<ENDOFSQL
INSERT INTO test VALUES('test1',123,'test2','test3');
exit
ENDOFSQL
A row is succesfully inserted into the table when I run the script manually, but it does not insert rows when a cron job is scheduled.
Could you please help me with this?
Thanks in advance.

Exception while loading properties from an xml file

I've got a problem while loading properties from an XML file:

Here there's the code that instantiates the HRPMProperties object loading the property file:
public class HRPMProperties extends Properties {

 try{
 this.loadFromXML(new FileInputStream(fileName));
 }catch(Exception e){
 Logger.error("Cannot load properties from the specified file <"+fileName+"> " + e);
 e.printStackTrace();
 * Provides an instance of the property class loaded from the default configuration file.
 * @return the property instance
 public static final HRPMProperties getInstance(){
 if( HRPMProperties.mySelf != null )
 return HRPMProperties.mySelf;
 else{
 HRPMProperties.mySelf = new HRPMProperties(HRPMProperties.propertyFile);
 return HRPMProperties.mySelf;
}The constructor is the one triggering the exception, so there's a problem loading the XML property file.

My iCloud account is set up with my Apple ID as one email account (for example [email protected]) which is the email account I use to sign up for internet sites like Amazon, Apple,etc, so that I can differentiate vendors/mass emails. But my default calendar on my iPhone is in a different email name (ie [email protected]) which I use for most communications to friends, relatives, etc. and it is this account that holds most of my appointments. To further complicate things I have other email accounts that I use for business/professional and community work. If I want all my calendars to show on my iPhone AND sync to my iCloud, do I set this at the phone level or the iCloud level? or both?
Let me clarify....It looks like if I go into appointments that I previously set up through my personal account (ie above [email protected]) and edit the entry on my iPhone, selecting the iCloud "home" calendar within the entry, it will then sync to my iCloud account, no problem....do I have to do this to EVERY entry I have? or is there a way to name my personal account as one to sync to iCloud?

Loading data from an excel file to Oracle Tables

Hi Everyone,
Once again I will have to bring some data from some excel file, which I have already done and "know" how to do and I would like to confirm with you all something first.
What I shall do is the following:
From one excel workbook file which has a lot of info just in one spread sheet feed some tables with the data coming from it.
So what I have though is create mane name ranges (Define names on excel) as I need and work with them, but I will be facing with headers on the rows and columns. There is where I doubt if it will be possible. So far, I will not be able to modify the Excel’s file structure.
Something more or less like this:
Country1 Country 2
Sales1 9999999 9999999
Sales2 9999999 9999999
Sales3 9999999 9999999
Total123 9999999 9999999
Sales4 9999999 9999999
Sales5 9999999 9999999
Sales6 9999999 9999999
Total456 9999999 9999999
Best regards.

Hi SH,
First of all, I do really appreciate your time, patience and guidance.
Ok, let me get this straight.
You will need to create a data server for each Excel Work book
That means that as I will just work with one excel sheet, I will just have one data server and within it, there will be the spread sheets (excel tabs) and therefore the different named ranges.
Each of your named ranges will be a data store beneath the data server which can be used as a source model in your ODI interfaces. Therefore if you have a single workbook with 12 sheets for the months, each covered by a single named range, you would have a single data server withe 12 data stores.
This means that I will have something like this:
+ “My_Workbook.xls” server name (Just one)
-     Spread sheet 1 (1 or several named ranges)
-     Spread sheet 2 (1 or several named ranges)
-     Spread sheet 3 (1 or several named ranges)
-     Spread sheet n (1 or several named ranges)
I do think that if my statement above is correct, I think I got the idea. Is it like that?
I have gotten another question; let’s say for example that in any spread sheet I will have three different named ranges. The difference between spread sheet and spread sheet will be the month within and of course the information. Would it be accurate to bring it like that? That means that so far for twelve month I will bring 36 named ranges.
Well I think I had explained myself. Please do not hesitate to contact me if any further detail is required.
Best regards.
