Multiple web catalog files for same rpd

Is there any way to run multiple web catalog files for same rpd in OBIEE?

Why do you want to do that? Why not merge them into one? You run seperate presentation servers againt the same RPD.

Trying to Create a Catalog file using WSIM (Windows System Image Manager)

I have been looking online for a solution to htis problem for days and come up with nothing so any help would be amazingly helpful.
I have created a Windows 8.1 image which I would like to role out to all users within my company but when trying to create a catalog file I am getting an erorr message saying "Windows SIM was unable to generate a catalog." It says "Mounting
Windows Image file......This might take a few minutes" and then fails after 6-7mins.
When opening the log file I get this:
10:00 : Cannot obtain read/write access for F:\sources\install.wim.
In order to generate a catalog file, you must have read/write access to the Windows image file and its containing folder.
10:13 :
10:13 : Windows SIM was unable to generate a catalog. For troubleshooting assistance, see the topic: 'Windows System Image Manager Technical Reference' in the Windows OPK or Windows AIK User's Guide.

The one image that did work (LiteTouchPE_x64.wim) was from the OS I imported to Microsoft Workbench but the components are different to any that I have seen online when looking on how to do this.
I have made sure that the architecture is x64 and tried from ISO files I have on the system already but get the same error.
This is the first project I have been involved in and only ever done IT support before this.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Format over catalog file, tried to recover file but now corrupt?!

I recently performed a format of my hard drive. When doing this, I did not back up my catalog file from photoshop elements(I have pse 8.0). I backed up everything else, and I do have all of the original full size photo files from my hard drive, ~11,000 image files which are now all put back to their exact same location on the hard drive as before the format. Horrible mistake on my part not to back this up, but I thought this info was stored in the individual photo files itself, but I know now that this info was in the catalog file that I more than likely have lost.
First off, following the format elements 8.0 was installed and all of my photos were migrated into elements(all thumbnails visible in organizer with no problems). Elements and the organizer worked perfectly fine, besides the fact that I had lost all of my tag and album info that was stored in the catalog file.
My husband purchased some file recovery software following the format of the hard drive to try and recover the catalog database file from the hard drive. The recovery software did find the file and was able to recover it from the partition of the hard drive that had been formatted over. Following the recovery of the file, he tried to move the file manually into the folder C:\program data\adobe\elements organizer\catalogs\my catalogs\. Doing this replaced the new catalog file that had been recently created by photoshops elements following the reformat with the one that was recovered by the recovery software. Next, he opened up Photoshop elements and tried to launch the organizer. Following this, we received the following message from organizer: “the catalog could not be opened, it is either corrupt, or the version is out of date and cannot be updated”. We then clicked on ok and then tried to hit the repair button, which it then told me that the catalog file could not be repaired. We also tried the File>Catalog> Open command in elements organizer to open the new catalog file and this gave me the same exact error message and same results.
We have also tried to run the psedbtool found on the web on the catalog file that was recovered by the recovery software. Unfortunately, the file is unreadable by the tool and the tool gives me the following message when trying to use the tool on the recovered catalog file: "can't open catalog database: file is encrypted or is not a database". I also tried the -csv file and -printVolumeTable options of the tool and it gives me the same message. Because I am getting this error message, it does not seem as if this tool will be able to help me with the recovered catalog database file.
Is my catalog file that I have recovered corrupt and unusable, or is there some way to get this file to work?
The recovery software I used if from Pareto Logic named "Data Recovery Pro". Could the problem be with the recovery software and maybe a different recovery software may do a better job of recovering the file?
Thnks for any help!

To make the story short, have you backed up your photos? If the answer is yes then why can't you create a new catalog and import the photos to this new catalog?
To create a new catalog, the basic process is:
1) Open the Organizer and click on File
2) Click Catalog
3) click New
4) Type a name for the new catalog
5) Click OK
Now it is a question of importing the photos to this new catalog. the basic process is as follows:
1) Open the Organizer and Click File
2) Click Get Photos & Videos
3) Click From Files and Folders
4) click "down-arrow" icon to choose the folder
5) CTRL+ Click on your photos to import (or CTRL + A to select all photos)
6) click Get Media
7) Click Show All to view your photos
Hope this gets you started. Your formatted hard drive will not let you get your old files so you are stuck. You should always make a habit to back-up your data on a flash drive because they are very robust and can be stored safely away from the computer you are working on. Your your machines own Hard Disk as a back-up store is definitively not a good strategy.

MDT 2012- Unattend.xml, or worse, No existing catalog file found.

Hello. Back again with a new issue.
MDT2012. Win 7 pro/ x64.. I've got a an issue with a recently Sysprep/Captured image. It was successfully captured with no errors, but won't deploy... citing
I initially had an issue with an Unattend.xml (the dreaded "5212 Welcome wizard failed" error) and it was suggested I:
Edited Unattend.xml file and : Navigated to the SPECIALIZE step
–highlighted “”amd64_Microsoft-windows-IE-InternetExplorer_neutral”” and
edited the “”IEWelcomeMSG”” feild, and unticked “”write image value.””
This did not resolve my issue, matter of fact, it may have made things worse, but since I'm not an expert, here I am.
The image I captured has IE11 (bad idea?) and the machine is fully patched as of a week ago. My latest error is when I got BACK to UNedit the Unattend.xml file... I'm greeted with this:
Performing operation "generate" on Target "Catalog".

Then upon closing the above window, this sits behind it: ""Unable to edit the unattend.xml for this OS because no catalog could be located or generated""
I see the (an?) error regarding NO EXISTING CATALOG FILE FOUND... as well as PROCESS IN USE BY ANOTHER..
What can I do to resolve the above? And did I give you enough info here...?
Thanks!

The part for the disk drivers is ignore able. It applies the image to the disk perfectly it is the unatend.xml file that is missing. Also I have it set up
so if the second disk is missing that is would keep executing. You will notice this further down the line.
I have tested this on real hardware and a VM. the log that I have posted it from a VM (I typed it out by hand). The log for the real machine is basically the same except with out the disk errors (because It has two HDDs).

Moving existing and future catalog files (.psa) to another HD partition? (WIN-XP-Elmnts5.0)

Does anyone know how I can tell Elements 5.0 to move all files it is creating and using, from my C: partition to my D: partition? I don't want Elements using the C: drive partition for anything (especially catalogs, thumbnails, etc...).
I have already (I think?) set the default new-catalog location to the D: drive, but I want to move the existing (and huge!) "My Catalog.psa" and everything related to it, to the D: drive where the new default catalog location is.
Is there a way to do this easily? I just completed a full (initial) backup, and moved 75% of my photos offline, so all I need to do is move the catalog files associated with them. (For reference, the photos themselves are stored on the E: partition, or DVD, not on the C: or D: drives).
THANKS!
Eric

first I would suggest a
File > Catalog > Recover
on that huge My Catalog.psa because it will cleanup and compact that catalog file.
Based on a forum tip from another participant, I used SAVE AS under the File > Catalog dialog to achieve placing a catalog and its associated Catalog Folders folder (which contains thumbnail cache and offline proxies) to a different hard drive.
During this Save AS process, I gave my Catalog a different name because I thought that it was a safer approach. The Title bar of the Organizer workspace shows the Catalog name - so I like definitively knowing what catalog I am referencing based on the catalog name.
I do recommend using a different name for the catalog when using this process.
FYI - I think that you will need to do a new Full PSE Backup after you have this newly named Catalog functioning OK on the new drive - because a PSE Backup is Catalog specific.
FYI- If you ever use the PSE File > Catalog > Open dialog, it will not not initially show this new catalog on the other drive. You must navigate yourself to the drive/folder containing your catalog and then it will work. It appears to initially only list catalogs in the default location: no big deal but disconcerting if you expect it to be present in the list and it is not.
You will still have Preferences under the user's Doc and Settings and of course, the Program Files folder structure.

Migration of catalog file only to a new computer, keeping photos on external drive

I have PSE 10 on an old computer, and have all of my photos stored on an external hard drive. I now have a new computer with PSE 11 on it, and I'd like to move the catalog file, which sits on the old computer to the new computer so that I can use it to see all the photos on the external drive now. I do not want to do a full backup and restore, since the photos are staying on the same external hard drive. I just want the file that has all the tags and organizational information to move to the new computer. How do I do that? The system information process on the old computer said that the catalog is named My Catalog and is in a particular directory (C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs\My Catalog\), but I don't see a file by that name when I look there, even though in control panel I have the system set to no hidden files. Thanks for any help - I'm getting incredibly frustrated.

OK one last question - I moved the catalog file to the new computer, but I put it on the desktop. I double-clicked it and it all worked like a charm. And now all the temp files and such live there.
Is there a good way to move it into the Adobe folder? I tried moving it all into the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements 9 Organizer, but there isn't a "Catalog" folder like there was on the old computer. So I just moved it in the C:\Program Files\Adobe folder and double-clicked it; i got an error saying the catalog was corrupt or something. So I moved it back to the desktop and all is fine.
So how do I move it off the desktop - and where should i put it?

Where is photoshop elements 11 catalog files stored in windows 7 for carbonite to back up?

Where is photoshop elements 11 catalog files stored in windows 7 for carbonite to back up? Also any other files besides the pictures that I should back up?

Very important : your catalog does not contain your pictures. They are where you have imported them in your computer. If they are all under a master folder like 'My Pictures' or 'Pictures', you should set your backup software to backup those folders.
The catalog itself is mainly a database keeping all the information about your pictures : location, keywords, ratings, albums...
It's a folder containing the dababase and several other components. You find its location looking in the help section, system info.
The integrated backup / restore process in Elements saves both your media files and the catalog.

Newbie question on managing catalog files & external drives

I'm new to Lightroom and just downloaded a trial version of LR4 earlier this week. I'm an amatuer photographer (and I really mean amatuer ) ... and serve as a volunteer for a local summer baseball team (college players). I've taken - on average - 5,000 photos per summer for each of the last 5 years. In addition to posting the photos of each game to my Phanfare.com site (where players and families can download them), I create a keepsake DVD with video clips and a slideshow for the players and coaches at the end of the season. If I decide to become a LR4 user, I would be organizing those photos from the past...as well as on a game-by-game basis this coming summer and into the future. In addition to backing up all of my photos to DVD and Phanfare.com, I have a designaed external hard drive for these photos. On the external drive, I have a different folder for each year and subfolders for each game. In the past, I've kept the current year photos on my laptop and back them up to the other locations as the season progressess.
As I map out my plans, I'm trying to figure out the best way to manage the past years photos, current year photos and the related catalog file(s). I won't always have the large external hard drive with me....and I don't have enough room on my laptop for all years. There are times I need to search for photos across multiple years; there are times only in the current year...although I have no problem restricting myself to using the large "master" external hard drive for those multiple year searches. I do have a portable 160 GB hard drive at my disposal that I can use and take with my laptop at all times if needed.
Would appreciate any advice on how best to set up the catalog files so that I can manage current year and past year photos...meet my mobility requirements for the current year...as well as the master external hard drive.
Thanks in advance for your help. (Hopefully my explanation and question makes sense)

Advice #1: use one catalog -- don't even think about multiple catalogs; multiple catalogs will not help, this will only hinder you in your work. Inside of Lightroom, you can easily organize different years, different teams, different players, different sports, and anything else you want to organize.
With regards to travel, you can export portions of your catalog to whatever HD you want to take with you.

Can a plugin create a new catalog file based on the current (or a specified source) catalog?

A little background: I've been looking for a tool that would allow me to host my photos from my network at home, but let me search my lightroom database (mainly by date, keyword, metadata, or location) on mobile devices (e.g. iPhone or iPad). There are a lot of services that provide publishing to cloud storage (e.g. Google Drive, icloud, etc.) and have companion apps, but I've found their search capabilities lacking and I'd rather just source the files from home. In my mind what I need is an even lighter weight SQLite database that contains the catalog information I want (and only that info) that I can sync with an app on my phone/tablet. I could also have a directory of very small previews that could also be synced. When I want a file I can select it and various higher resolution versions (up to and including the original file) could be stored in a local cache on the portable device. I could go on, but I think you get the idea.
In order to do this I need this lighter weight catalog file. I was going to write a perl or swift (I'm writing this for OS X) script that used SQLite to pull the relevant data out of my catalog and generate the new mini-catalog, but I figured I should give the Lightroom SDK a shot. I've never developed for Lightroom before and I don't know Lua, but I've got some time to learn. The first thing I thought I should check out was to see if anyone had built a plugin that did what I'm hoping to do. If so I could save a lot of time. I figured this forum would be a good place to check to see if anyone knows of such a plugin. If so, please let me know. I'd much appreciate it. If it's not possible, that would be good to know too.
Thanks,
David

I doubt there is a way to create a new catalog via plugin (without some serious stunt - i.e. nothing in SDK supports it), and remember - open/active catalog is locked (sql will fail), so you can only do the script if Lr is closed or has a different catalog open.

Difference in my catalog file size in backup

Currently using PSE8 on pc platform.
Just out of curiosity, why is the "my catalog file" which PSE references on the local drive so much smaller a full backup of the catalog to an external drive?

Thanks, thats what I had expected, however I have never restored a backup so I could not confirm this for myself.

Path to PSE7 catalog files in Vista?

What is the path to the disc location for the catalog files (PSE 7 and Vista)? I want to be able to back up just the catalog files independently from the backup utility provided in PSE 7 itself.
Thanks,
Mike

Do Help > System Info to find the location of the catalog folder. You should back up the entire folder.

Lightroom Catalog file deleted

I am trying to help a friend who is a LR user. Here is the situation.
I added a 2nd hard drive and more memory to the system.
She them proceeded to copy all folders containing her photos from her older/smaller drive to the new/much larger drive.
Once copied, she verified all files copied and then deleted the old folder on the old drive.
Was able to get LR to see the files on the new drive by adding the folders back in the LR.
However she gets an error when LR starts thet the Catalog file is missing.
She is able to see all the thumbnails in the Library.
What can I do to help get rid of this error message as it apperas (based on some of my readings) that the lrcat file was deleted when she did her cleanup.
Current version is LR 2.7.
Please keep in mind I am not the LR user just the hardware person.

Thanks, I will have to get over there and see if we can get this corrected. All the photos are showing in the Library and the folders are point to the correct location. So restoring the *.lrcat file should fix the problem.
Fingers crossed for when I get back to her.

Folder issues after restoring Catalog file

Just upgraded from LR 3 to 5 after a drive failed. I did a new install of LR 5 on the new drive. I'm on an iMac running OS x 10.9.1 (Mavericks). I restored the previous Catalog file & all my previous thumbnails & accompanying folder structure is intact, but now when I import new photos to existing folders, a new version of that folder shows up in the Library at the root level. In Finder all the photos show up in the right folder, but in Library mode LR doesn't seem able to use the existing folder structure.

I have never had a restore disc that had the correct drivers in it, and this is another case of that.
That software had been tested pretty thoroughly and then distributed to tens of thousands of customers. Bugs found since are reported in the Support Bulletins here.
