Moving BOIMG referenced path

Hi you all,
     I am trying to create some reports with images which will be dinamically assigned as part of a report infomration content. The references to these images are stored in a DB with a specific file structure path referenced in it.
     So far I am able to view these images in WEBI either using HTML content or URL Image content, but when I try to export the report to PDF the reference is lost; when using HTML the url is displayed instead the image, and when using URL Image it only appears a blank space in the report.
     I have tried using BOIMG URL using a similar file structure within "C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 11.5\Images" folder and it worked fine, the problem is that BO is installed in the SYSTEM file system, and due disk space ans secutiry issues I need to have all the files in a diferent file system located in another drive. So my question is:
Is there a way to change the referene to "Images" folder to a diferent location?

i think yes you can do, you put your images in some other path lets say c:\myimages
and put this path somewhere in...
1. stop the "WebIntelligence Report Server" and click "Properties"
2. The string Command must add "-images C:\myimages" restart
All images contained in the folder are reportable by WebIntelligence with boimg: //
hope this works fine with you
good luck

Moving BOIMG referenced path in XI R3

Hello,
In BO XI R2, I used the -images method to change the boimg location (as it is explained here : Moving BOIMG referenced path )
But how can I do that in XI 3.0 ? I tried to add the -images to jobservers, restarted it, but no luck...
Thanks,
Olivier.

After taliing with some webi engineers they recommend opening a message with support to get an engineer to reproduce.
I looked through the settings and if this was added to the webi job server in XIR2 you would need to login to the CMC, go to the servers, select the webi adaptive job server\properties, and add it to the command line parameters in 3.0.
If it doesn't work it's either been designed that way in 3.0, a bug, or possibly there is a new way to set this we aren't aware of.
So if no one figures it out in the forums then just open a message with support to find that out.

I moved the mobilesync path where my backups should be stored. However, since then I moved some folders around which I think is the source of my error. I can no longer backup my iphone. How do I fix this?

A while ago, I moved the mobilesync path so that it would stop trying to backup onto my C drive. However, since then I moved some folders around which I think is the source of my error. I can no longer backup my iphone It just tells me that the backup is corrupted. When i go to preferences, devices, and look under backups it is empty. How do I fix this?

Howdy there mjspace1994,
It sounds like you are unable to backup your phone after moving the mobile sync folder from its default location. If moving it back manually does not resolve the issue, I would next use either of the following articles to remove iTunes from your computer and then re install it. The articles outline the proper order to remove them in, and step by step instructions:
Remove and Reinstall iTunes and other software components from Windows XP
Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

After moving itunes library paths are still set to old drive

I have moved my itunes library from my hard drive to a network connected NAS drive. The problem I'm finding is that itunes now can't find the songs in the library as they still show (when looking at 'Get info') the path to the old location).
I have done the following:
1 copied all song files in the 'itunes music' folder as well as the files in the folder above (including 'itunes library.itl' and 'itunes library.xml') to the new location
2 Checked the boxes in Edit > Preferences > Advanced that read 'Keep iTunes Media Folder Organized' and 'Copy Files to ITunes Media folder when adding to library'.
3 Changed the iTunes Media Folder location to the new location (the same folder as the 'itunes library.itl' file is held.
4 Re-started iTunes while holding the shift button so that I can 'choose' the library, then browsed to the new location and selected the 'itunes library.itl' file in the new location.
None of this has any effect. This is what I've noticed:
a - The individual files cannot be found and when I right click and choose 'get info' it shows that the path is still set to the old location
b - The 'itunes library.xml' file still shows links to the old path for each of the individual songs.
c - I can manually 'point' the songs individually to the new location so that they can be found - although this is not an option for the whole library which is several thousand. I do this when I get the error message 'The song 'xxxx' cound not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?'.
d - I import a new CD or buy a new song from iTunes, the songs are correctly located on the new drive and play with no problems.
Can anyone tell me if I've missed a step? If I was to guess, I'd say that the 'itunes library.itl' still has all the old paths for the individual songs, but I don't know how to get iTunes to re-create or update that file and can't edit it myself.
Regards, Steve.

Thanks for that R. I'd seen a few of those posts but none of them seemed to match my query exactly.
However, I seem to have found a solution to my own problem. Whether it will help with yours I don't know (looks like you're a Mac user) but here's what I've found:
* The basic problem was with the file itunes music.itl' which was still pointing iTunes to the old location of the music files. I don't know why it didn't update this file when all the 'consolidating files' was done but there you go. This is not in a format editable by ordinary mortals, but you can re-create it if it gets corrupted by editing another file called 'itunes music.xml', which is in an editable format.
* It seems the .xml file basically contains all the .itl file information and is used essentially as a backup (my guess, don't know if it's correct). So deleting the .itl file and then re-creating it by telling the system to import the information from the .xml file is the thing to do. Here's how I did it:
* Go to the new drive and path where you've copied your itunes library to. I copied both the two files above first just in case to my desktop (doesn't really matter where). They're in the 'Music' folder above the folder where all your music files are kept (music files are kept in 'iTunes Music' in my setup).
* Edit the 'itunes music.xml' file. You'll need a good text editor with search and replace functions to do this as you'll have to do the same number of replacements as you have song files - in my case a number of thousand. Even better than a standard text editor would be an XML editor as that will make the text file easier to read (I used Dreamweaver just because I already have it on my system).
* If you look through your xml file you'll see all your songs listed with lots of other information such as track id. At the end you'll see a line that says something like:
<key>Location</key><string>file://localhost//EDNET01/Users/Steve/My%20Documents/My%20Music/iTunes/iTunes%20 Music/Bob%20Dylan/Modern%20Times/01%20Thunder%20On%20the%20Mountain.m4p</string>
If you're in the same position as me you'll notice that the path name is wrong (it's still showing the old path and drive). So the job is basically to edit and replace each of the paths to show the new drive and path.
*To do this with a single search and replace you don't need to change the album and file name, nor should you need to change the folder containing all the song files. This is the search and replace change I made then:
Search (all instances, hopefully if your text editor will allow it):
//localhost//EDNET01/Users/Steve/My%20Documents/My%20Music/iTunes/
Replace with:
//localhost/X:/FamilyMusic/
which is the drive and path where I've moved my itunes music to. The song folders are in the folder below that called 'itunes music'.
* Once you've saved this file (and having a backup copy of the old .itl and .xml files saved somewhere just in case) delete the two old files from the new folder where you've copied your music
* Open iTunes. Go to File > Library > Import playlist.
* Navigate to your newly edited version of 'itunes music.xml'. Select it and you should find that itunes begins rebuilding your library with the new paths and creates a new 'itunes music.itl' file in the process.
Once that's done you should have your music, podcasts and playlists back.
** Disclaimer ** I'm no iTunes expert so I don't know if this is the 'proper' way to do things. If it doesn't work you should be ok to replace the copied files back into your music folder and no damage done, but in any event I'm not responsible for any problems. Make sure you've got backups is my advice!

Moving Entire Referenced Library....Questions on reconnecting media.....

I am moving and consolidating my entire library of images which is on about 4 HDs to one (or 2) internal HDs in my Mac Pro. I did my initial copy of my picture data, and now I need to reconnect the projects to the Master images. Do I need to do this one project at a time? I have HUNDREDS of projects. Is there any way I can do this faster?

Yes,
Go to your all photos view and select all of your photos
Then
Go to file->manage referenced files.
If you need to do a smaller subset just select a subset using whatever criteria you wish in the browser view of all photos. Once you are in the manage referenced files window it should be trivial to reconnect as long as your folder structure is the same. Check it out and let me know if you have questions.

Reconnecting files moved to same path on different volume

I have Photoshop Elements 10 running on Windows Vista. Most of my photos were stored on a network drive (\\mybookworld) which was mapped as drive X:\ . Recently I upgraded my network storage, mapped drive X:\ to the new drive (\\mybooklive), and disposed of the old drive. A quick check suggested that all photos were found OK.
However, it would appear that I have not been as clever as I thought. I have now noticed that a number of the photos in my Photoshop catalog have pathnames beginning with \\mybookworld, rather than X:\. This probably arose because the drive mapping occasionally disappeared, and I had to access the drive via its network path.
I can reconnect the disconnected photos individually, but the Reconnect dialog does not remember the location of the previous successful reconnect, meaning that I have to manually navigate to X:\ each time. There are too many disconnected files for it to be feasible to do this manually.
Is there a way to globally replace the string \\mybookworld with X:\ in my catalog? Would upgrading to PSE 11 make this task easier?
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can render.
Cheers,
Tim.

Tim.
The only global way to replace the string would be to edit the sqlite database (catalog.pse10db) with an sql management software and a special query. If you are ready to try this route, there have been details posts about the process, with queries devised by Photodrawken in particular.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1052041
In my tests, PSE11 is smarter in remembering the path for the search. I would begin by installing the trial version of PSE11 and convert the catalog. For the conversion it does not matter if you have missing files. Then try the PSE11 reconnect version and see if that works better for you.

Managed edits moved to referenced?

I have been using Aperture for a year now and have been enjoying it immensely. My intention was to use Aperture in referenced mode as I want to maintain my own folder structure and have the masters available for other applications to access directly. Everything was sailing along peachy as I configured the import process to leave the masters in the current location (which is referenced) but after a month or so of use I somehow changed the process by which I import to dragging and dropping. I did not notice until this past month (ugh!) that my dragging and dropping process was actually importing the masters into the Aperture library (managed mode). I have since found out that if I want to drag and drop using referenced mode that I must hold down "Command-Option" to do so (reference link).
Now I have about 80GB in a managed Aperture Library which is not what I intended. I, of course, still have my masters in their original directories but I have made so many edits (touchups, rotations, etc) and want to revert those changes and go to referenced mode. Is it somehow possible to link those edits to the masters and go to referenced mode and delete the images in the Aperture Library or am I just best to start from zero with a new library and using reference mode again? I hope this makes sense and somehow can advise me in some manner. Thanks folks.

Aperture provides tools which you'll find useful. Without more information, I can't recommend what to do.
Let's clarify a few things.
. "Managed" and "Referenced" refer to the Master of an Image. Libraries can contain a mix of managed and referenced Masters (as yours seems to).
. Masters are image-format files -- the ones you imported into Aperture. When you import, Aperture creates an Image (a record in its database) and a pointer to the imported image-format file, which is thereafter referred to as a Master.
You use "File→Relocate Masters" to move Masters to new locations a drive. There are eighteen variables you can use to set up a hierarchy of Finder folders. Go to "Aperture→Presets→Folder Naming" to see them and to create your own Finder folder structure template.
You use "File→Locate Referenced Files" to attach Images to Masters. Aperture is rightly picky about this. It is used to re-attach Images that have missing Masters (there is no file at the location to which the pointer points). You might be able to change Images' Masters from the Managed Masters in your Library, to the existing original files you imported. You'd end up with files orphaned in your Library, though (I don't know what Aperture's housekeeping staff does with these), so you might want to relocate the Masters to another drive first, and then try to change the Image's pointers to point to the original files. The "Locate Referenced Files" efforts are sophisticated, but, afaik, the files _must_ have the exact same name.
Please see the User Manual for illustrated examples of the use of the two commands mentioned.
For just a few files, you could Import them anew, and Lift & Stamp the existing adjustments & metadata from the existing Versions to the new Images (and then delete the old ones). This is strictly one-by-one, however, and won't do you any good for months worth of photos.
I use an elaborate file naming convention when I import (and I rename my Masters). This gives me a unique and informative name for each Image and file, as well as allowing me to use an alpha sort in Finder to put my files in date order. You might want to do something similar. Among other things, it obviates the need for _any_ Finder folder organization. I use Aperture to organize my Images into groups for my uses, and I leave my Masters in one big Finder bin.

How to solve 'The application has been moved and its path has changed...'

Recently, I started getting a dialog box every time I tried to open Photoshop CS5, whether directly or through 'Open With...' in the Finder. Here's what the dialog box looked like:
After consulting with Adobe Support, the problem was solved (easily!), so I'm posting the solution here for the benefit of others.
Solution
Hold down SHIFT + OPTION + COMMAND while opening Photoshop. You should see the following dialog box:
Click Yes to delete the current settings file.
Close Photoshop.
DONE!
Apparently, the preferences file can occasionally get messed up, generating the dialog box as a result. The above procedure deletes saved preferences and reverts to default. (You'll have to redo any custom preferences that you may have set, but at least you don't have to completely reinstall the software.)

Jason,
I tried this several times, but it's not helping. I took a screenshot of where my phantom app resides, and it's here
Any other ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks,
John

Aperture not seeing referenced masters on Samba share

Hello all,
I have moved my referenced masters from my laptop to a Samba-mounted RAID server. I go to mount the Samba share and for some reason, Aperture won't see my referenced masters. It also shows the volume as being offline, when I know for a fact it is mounted, and can browse the Aperture masters directory to find each and every master...
Is there any way to get aperture to see these masters?
Thanks,
-Noah

OK, this is a long shot, but it happened to me once.
I tried to relocate some managed images to an AFP share which I thought was mounted but wasn't. Because the path that I wanted to relocate to was already loaded I just clicked OK and this is what happened - Aperture created a Folder in /Volumes/ with the name of the AFP volume. So later when I did mount the volume none of my referenced files showed up. This is because while the name on the desktop was correct the Path to it was /Volumes/AFP-share 1/ instead of /Volumes/AFP-share/.
So in short look in /Volumes/ (you can get there by using the Go-->Go to Folder menu in the Finder and typing /Volumes/) and see if there is a folder in there that should not be:-) If there is check to see if there are any images in it and move those to your desktop before deleting the folder.

Freeing up laptop HD - referenced masters

I'm working with a large project of my India trip as a I travel. I have it sub-divided into albums based on different places I've visited as I visit them (chronologically).
I'm working on my laptop so space is limited and I now want to delete some of the initial referenced masters and externally edited versions. Is relocate masters the correct way to do this? And what about relocating externally edited versions? As I'm on a slow system, I still use PS for editing.
I backup my entire system to two external FW drives using CCC. So I already have 'relocated masters' on external storage. So all I really want to do is delete the masters/externally edited files on my laptop but I don't want to cause a break in Aperture's links. Is there a way to take advantage of these external drive files in the whole relocating/reconnecting process? Or do I need to relocate separately?
One possible solution I can think of: Would moving the referenced masters and externally edited images to the trash and then use Manage Referenced Files to point the broken links to the equivalent images in one of my external drives be sensible? And what about the other backup drive? If the external drive whose images the aplibrary now links to failed, could I then use Manage Referenced Files to restore the path to the other backups on my second external drive?
Thanks for any help,
Ross

I think you're saying you've got the images both on your internal drive as managed and on external storage. You want to delete the managed images on your internal drive, and use the images on the external drives. If I have that right, and assuming you've made all the adjustments to the images that are managed, and wish to keep those adjustments, then your best bet is to actually delete the images on the external drive then relocate your masters from your library to the external drive. That way you'll get them off your internal HD, keep all your current adjustments, and eliminate duplicates.
As I reread your post I'm not positive I understand what you're trying to do. You can delete referenced images from within Aperture and check the box to delete the masters. This will move your images no matter where they are to the trash. If you've then got them someplace else, edited with PS, you can import those.

Questions about my library just moved to NAS. Download errors. Would USB be better?

Thanks for reading. My situation is that my itunes library is running about 500gb and I needed to get it off my imac. I bought a 2TB NAS and copied the entire library folder to that drive and changed itunes to go there.
What I'm finding is that downloading daily podcasts is a chore. It's real slow. I had to turn off simultaneous downloads and allow only a single download at a time. Otherwise it would certainly beach ball.
Also, buying anything from itunes seems to result in a "network reset" error and I have to sit there and click "resume" 2 or 3 times.
I'm wondering if I've done something wrong?
Would it be better if I spring for a 2.0 USB drive and keep it connected to my imac that way rather than going through the servers where the NAS is connected in the house?
I also use this library to feed the apple TV that we use a lot.
Thanks.

I have a post on reorganizing things before attempting to move them from one computer to another which runs as follows:
Make a split library portable
Here are the typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
In the layout above right, with the media folder (everything in the red box) inside the library folder, the library is considered to be portable. A portable library can be moved from one path to another without breaking the links from the library to the media, and being self-contained it is much easier to backup and restore. (You do backup, don't you?).
You can rearrange things to make a split library portable by taking a number of small steps which don't break the library.
Before you start any media files that are outside of the media folder will need to be consolidated. If the library is in the old style layout then it should be upgraded to iTunes Media Organization (Library > Organize Library > Rearrange files in the folder <Media Folder>) to ensure that iPod Games, Mobile Applications etc. are brought inside the media folder, otherwise the links to these won't survive changes in the path of the library.
The basic non-fatal manipulations are:
You can create or connect to an alternate set of library files by holding down Shift (Win) or Option (Mac) when starting iTunes. (Note iTunes will continue to use this library until you use the same method again.)
You can move the library files to a new location and connect to it there as long as the media stays put.
You can move the library files and the media together if the media folder is a direct subfolder of the library folder.
If you have already moved/copied the media content from a subfolder of the library folder to a different location then you only need to copy the library files for it to appear as if you have moved the entire library in the way allowed above. I.e. just copy the library files into the parent folder of the media folder.
You can rename the media folder to iTunes Media (if it isn't already) if the media folder is inside the library folder.
iTunes uses the name of the folder holding the library files as the window title. Having made a library "portable" you may need to take a final step of renaming the library folder to iTunes or, if the library files have ended up at the root of a drive, moving all of the library files and content folders into a new folder called iTunes.
IMPORTANT: After each change you need to open, test and close the relevant library before attempting another change. If a change broke the library, undo it or revert to using the previous set of library files.
In essence all you need to do to join up a split library and make it portable is copy the library files into the parent folder of the media folder on the external/secondary drive and use the hold-down-shift/option-when-starting-iTunes method to connect to it. Other manipulations may be required to normalize the library so that the library and media folders have standard names.
In your case I'm suggesting that you can use 2. to relocate your library files to a faster internal drive while leaving the media on the NAS (splitting the library), and that you would then use 4. to join your split library back together again before attempting to move it to a different drive.
After using 2. you would need to make sure that under iTunes Preferences > Advanced the media folder was pointed to iTunes Media on the NAS. There is also an issue with such split libraries that iTunes can sometimes reset the media folder if the NAS/external appears to be offline when iTUnes starts up.

Using Moving Average Materials with MF42N (Repetitive Production)

Version: ECC 6.0
I have a "Is this possible" question. I know this isn't a best business practice, but thought I'd anyway. Here goes ...
A material that uses Moving Average (referenced as Material123 below) has the following two materials in its BOM: (1) Moving Average (Material456), and (2) Non-valuated material, material type = LEER (Material789).
The 1st material in the BOM (Material456) is Liquid Oxygen. This product is purchased from a vendor and received into inventory via movement type 101.
The 2nd material in the BOM is an empty cylinder (Material789)
The parent material (Material123) being produced is gaseous Oxygen (Oxygen in gas form).
Basic production process: Liquid Oxygen is the raw material, it is pressurized and stored in a cylinder in gaseous form (for clarity, you've probably seen cylinders before, the two obvious examples of cylinders are propane cylinders used on barbeques and helium cylinders used to blow-up balloons).
Assumptions: (1) We do not want to do a cost roll, (2) We want to report production (TCode=MF42N) to consume the Bulk Oxygen (Material456) and the cylinder (Material789), and create the finished good (Material123), and (3) We do not want to burden the cost of the parent material (Material123) with direct costs, we only want the material costs.
If you read through the assumptions you can see that this is not proper accounting for a production process (i.e. the direct costs in the production process are not capitalized -- labor, power, etc.), if you can get beyond that I was wondering if anyone has ever set anything like this up? I tried to set this up and report production in my test environment, I got the materials created, the BOM created, but when I tried to report production it gave me an error, it needs a production version and/or a cost collector.
If anyone has done anything like this I'd be interested in knowing if it is possible to report production with a setup like this. Thanks.

Using CO production orders may solve your problem. They dont need PP or product costing to be implemented. Costs can be flexibly posted and there are not many demanding requirements for this.

Image size problem after converting from Managed files to Referenced files.

I recently moved to Referenced files for all my images. I use a plug-in (Graphic Converter 8.8.2) to resize all images to a consistent size (1440 pixels wide, landsacpe format) for a web app that I use (Sandvox). With Referenced files, when I drag and drop the externally processed image, it shows up at exactly one-half the correct size (720 pixels). As a test, doing exactly the same opeartion with an Aperture library utilizing managed files, there is no problem...it works as expected.
As a temproray work-around, I found that instead of dragging and dropping, I use the Aperture Export function, everything is correct. This is not really what I want to do because I have a lot of images to process.
This is Aperture 3.5 and Mavericks, but the problem was there with with Aperture 3.4 and OS 10.7.5.

Thank you for the suggestion and running the test. I changed the Preview settings to 1440, and then 2560 and finally, Don't Limit. Quit and relaunch Aperture between each setting. No luck.
But you gave me a hint: maybe the problem has to do with the images being first Managed and then moved to Referenced files. So I tried one that has never been a Managed file and everything works correctly! Don't know if this is a bug or a feature.
Mystery solved, but I still have a lot of images to reprocess.
Thank you for the help.

Throw or motion path

new to motion. import object and drag behaviors to it, such as throw, and the box will move but the object(pic in this case) disappears. how do i get the entire image to move with the box???
thanks

there is a box around the object, i guess it is called the bounding box. that box is doing the behavior, but the object disappears once it gets out side of the original shape of the box. the outline of the box will keep moving following the path. it does the same thing with text. outline of box will move, object disappears,
