One file to mutliple metadata records ?

I have a requirement to connect one file for content management to multiple metadata records - for example ...
We have a (single) loan document which applied to many properties. Each property has its own associated metadata, such as the development, type (mall, office, etc) which apply to the property, but not directly to he loan.
Given a loan stored under properties A, B and C, the document should be accessible through searches for A, B OR C; it would be something like the metadata record in the db was a reference to a file, shared by other metadata records.
Has anyone had to handle this before ? Can you give me a clue as to how to get started >
TIA,
Mark

Sounds to me like a use case for Related Links - you can create parent-child or peer-to-peer links between content items. Once a link is created (e.g. loan as a parent, properties as children), you reach properties from the loan or vice versa.
Another thing that might be useful for you is metadata-only items (that is, content-less items storing metadata only). There was a blog article by Kyle Hatlestad or Bex Huff on this topic. You should be able to find it even searching this forum.

One file to be sent to one of two message types.

Hi,
I have gone through many other messages but didn't get an answer. Please read the issue.
I have one file with 4 (suppose) records out of which 2 records go to one message type and the rest to other.
I have two message mappings for each message type (same basic type), one MI and two OM's.
On the confic side I have created all required paths.
When I put a file through its been picked up and in the message monitoring it shows as if they are scheduled to be sent but they are not creating any IDOC's. From past few days they are in the scheduled mode only.
Can anyone please help me. If I am not clear, I will explain in detail.
Thank you, Regards,
Mohana.

Mohana,
I think there are few entries in your queues. Since I cannot understand whether it is an inbound or outbound please go to SMQ1 and SMQ2. If you see any entries check all of them and delete them. So once deleted test it once again.

Recording entire cd as one file

How do you record an entire cd as one file or join the tracks into one file. Is that even possible with iTunes?

Click here and follow the instructions.
(30536)

I'm recording video on JVC HD camera.Every 13:54 it starts a new file.I have one file that won't play.I get this message:Quick time player can't open (names file) because the movie's file format isn't recognized. Only happens this one file.Ideas?

I can't open one Quick Time movie file. It says: Quick time player can't open (names file) because the movie's file format isn't recognized. Only happens on this one file. All the others of a two hour shoot are fine.
Any ideas what's happened and is there some way to open that file and retrieve what's on it?

Thanks this was useful. I have been ripping my audiobooks and I was finding that they would get uploaded to iCloud in the process, which in itself was fine, but then iTunes would not let me change the media type to Audiobook, which is annoying as it effects how iTunes treats the media. Like showing you the skip back 10 seconds button.
The general outline here helped me work around the issue and change the media type before the media was re-uploaded to iCloud.

How to load a flat file with lot of records

Hi,
I am trying to load a flat file with hundreds of records into an apps table. when i create the process and deploy it onto the console it asks for an input in an html form. why does it ask for an input when i have specified the input file directory in my process? is there any way around tis where in it just reads all the records from the flat file directly??is custom queues anyway related to what I am about to do?any documents on this process will be greatly appreciated.If any one can help me on this it will be great. thank you guys....

After deploying it, do you see if it is active and the status is on from the BPEL console BPEL Process tab? It should not come up to ask for input unless you are clicking it from the Dashboard tab. Do not click it from the Dashboard. Instead you should put some files into the input driectory. Wait few seconds you should see the instances of the BPEL process is created and start to process the files asynchrously.

Processing one file at a time in Biztalk

We are changing the way we're processing files in that where we used to receive hundreds of small files throughout the day, we are now going to have these files batched into larger files that get dropped to our incoming Biztalk directory. I'm concerned about
having the server pick up multiple large files at one time. Is there a way to tell a Biztalk application to only process one file at a time, and not to pick up the next file until the previous one has finished? Note, I do not have a way to build this into
the Orchestration, as this is a Biztalk application that is actually installed by our Trizetto(QNXT) product. It uses Biztalk for XML serialization.
Thanks.

I wouldn't worry about the size of the messages unless they are approaching 1GB. BizTalk can process roughly 400 msgs/sec. Also if you're worried about processing multiple large files try load balancing. With BizTalk it is quite "easy" to load
balance. In a nut shell you have to have the dll of the application installed on all the servers you want to be apart of load balancing and BizTalk takes care of the rest. Your large files would more than likely split up and processed on different servers.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa578057(v=bts.80).aspx
The link above is for high availability but could also be used to get a better understanding of load balancing. Also if you use de-batching to split up the 3000-4000 records that would help with processing them. If an orchestration receives a file with 4000
records in them that instance alone processes the whole file. Whereas if you split up the messages each message gets it's own instance of the orchestration which leads to better performance. The only drawback is that it takes more resources so your environment
needs to be fairly large. Also if one server is busy another server with the same dll can take the de-batched messages and process them.
Here is a link to my blog post about de-batching. It is very basic but gives a good base for de-batching.

File Adapter - Reading 2 files from sender and one file to receiver

All - I am looking for a best solution for reading two files from sender and generating one file to the receiver.
Here is the scenario
Sender file s - A is a master file. B is a detail file; B will have a one to many records for each record of File A.. that is the relation ship between 2 files.. I am looking for a better solution to
Example
Input:
File A will have a record like "summary1 ABC 1234"
File B will have a record like "Detailfor Summary1 CDF 8679"
Output:
File C shall have a record "consolidatedofSummary&Detail ABC 1234 8679"
1) read records of master row and detail row from these 2 files
2) do the mapping to the receiver output format which it is creating for records with some harcoded values and based on the values from master and detail rows of sender file
if I can accomblish reading sender files and do the mapping to the receiver , assume that mapping to the receiver format would not be cumbersome.
please help me...
Thanks

Hi Gopal,
Ur approach to the interface is perfect.... Go ahead.
For selecting multiple files in source use Advanced Selection for files.. and specify the directory paths and also the file name shema...
This will fetch the 2 files into the integration engine... then u map the 2 source files to one target file(2:1 mapping).
Specify accordingly the receiver side FCC and test it end to end...
If u face any prblm post here... some1 will help u out..

Can the File Adapter handle Multiple Record Layouts in COBOL?

I am trying to parse flat files that have a record type field in the first four characters on each record. As a test I tried to use the following record definitions:
01 CONTRACT-HEADER.
05 RECORD-TYPE PIC X(4).
05 TRANSACTION-TYPE PIC X.
05 CONTRACT-NUMBER PIC X(32).
05 CONTRACT-RELEASE-NBR PIC X(30).
05 CONTRACT-FILLER PIC X(2025).
01 CONTRACT-LINEITEM.
05 RECORD-TYPE PIC X(4).
05 TRANSACTION-TYPE PIC X.
05 LINE-FILLER PIC X(1664).
I also tried smaller records with simple test data. When I press the "test" button in the native file adapter the XML is never generated if I have more than one record type as above. Suppose that the contract-header record type always has the string "X001" in it, while the contract-lineitem always has "X015" in the record-type. I chose Us-ascii and chose $eol as a delimiter. The file on my windows computer has carriage return line feed after each record. I know that the fixed length converter works, but because the records really have 50 fields on each record type and are long, I don't think I can actually use that one in one sitting. Has anyone ever gotten two different record lenght cobol definitions to work? Do I have to hand edit the XML to specify the delimiter? I don't see any delimter specified in the generated XML before I attempt the test.

Rahul,
I recommned you should use "|" as "," can be embedded in a text string. I guess you can pass a directive to use to deliver "|" delimited file :). If you want to handle both then you might have to write a shell script or bat to pass delimiter as an argument which will edit and replace your control file.

FTWR File Size Worksheet no records shown?!

This is regarding DART (Data Retention Tool).
In FTW1A I extracted data. In AL11 I can see the data extraction file created in FTW1A. In FTWR “File Size Worksheet” no records are shown for the company code for which I extracted data in FTW1A. Does anybody have a clue what went wrong? How to get records shown in FTWR?

The size indication you are looking at is probably for megapixels. You can see the actual filesize in Lightroom in the metadata panel if you set it to "all" but I don't think you can show it on the badge in the Library grid display. A 6MP 16-bit uncompressed tiff should be about 36 megs, so close enough..

Lightroom - Photoshop Integration breaks for more than one file

This message is for those of us who process lots of images. I just spend a n afternoon working with Lightroom 1.0 to process the 900+ images taken at a sporting event over the weekend. My task is to find the keepers, and then run a custom action in Photoshop on every one of those files to prepare the files for delivery to the client.
Its pretty clear anyone doing serious noise reduction or sharpening work needs to have PS right now, but even if those limitations are addressed, let's assume there's always going to be something that needs to be done in Photoshop.
The problem is the current integration of Photoshop and Lightroom seems to be based on a single file, i.e. there's no batch capabilities, but I need to be able to set up and run recorded Photoshop actions on 900 files! (OK, only half were keepers, but you get the idea.)
The workaround is to export all of the files out of Lightroom into a directory, and then run a batch process to create a second directory of the processed files. I now have 900 files that aren't in Lightroom's database! Unfortunately Lightroom doesn't recognize files on the hard drive, and so if you're using Lightroom as a file manager, in six months I'll never know those post-processed files are even there.
Sure, I can delete the first directory, but I'll definitely want to keep the final files around for later. The only option is to then run another import on the final directory, which creates more down time.
The problem is the chances of getting out of sync are huge, plus there's no association between the original and processed versions as happens when you edit from within Lightroom. (In that case the original and processed are stacked.)
Now, the 1.0 version is amazing, and I consider the program to be one of the best programs ever designed. This is just a request to consider tackling this problem in version 2.0.

Yes, that's a big improvement in 1.0. The only problem is it only works for one file :-(
Overall I've found stacking to be less useful in other contexts, unfortunately. For me at least its been easier to just go through all of the photos initially to rank them, and then only show the candidates to send to clients.

How effective splitting one file in to multiple in PI

Hi Forum,
Is it possible to split one file in to 20 or more using PI.
If yes,how effective it is.

Yes. And there are various ways for doing this.
1. In the adapter engine while picking the flat file using option "Recordset per Message"
2. Using multi-mapping message split.
3. Using BPM loops.
The effectiveness would depend upon the size of message and no of records it contain. e.g. if the size is small, say only 20 records, then splitting the message in 20 parts would not be a good option. But if the size is too large with say thousands of messages, then splitting would turn out to be effective.

File info or metadata

I cannot seem to find a way to enter the job name into the "file info" or metadata in Photoshop CS. If the job name was entered in a previous version of photoshop such as PS7 it will appear in the file info under the advanced tab underthe XMP Basic job ticket properties but cannot be edited. As a work around I am using PS 7 to enter my job name and then using CS for everything else. There must be a better way. Am I missing something?

Ahem, well this is interesting. I haven't found a way to write a custom panel to display the JobName in CS and make it editable - perhaps a limitation to the panel language. One option is to create a template to apply to multiple files - either through the flyout menu in File Info, Replace in the Advanced panel or via the File Browser > Edit > Replace Metadata. Below is a template that I created. Best way to create your own is to save a template with the JobName property present, then go in an edit the file to remove the other template data and retain the jobName section as I did below. Edit the jobName value between the tags and rename the template - then use the Replace command to apply it to files in CS. Not a pretty work around. Otherwise I would suggest using another field going forward.

Writing to XMP file or one file per folder?

I am about to start using LR2. Used to using PS and Bridge. I use DNG and tiffs, and jpgs. I am used to having one file per folder for bridge's info. I do NOT want an XMP file per picture file. How does LR2 do this? I have read a few posts about XMP files and such. Is there a setting to make one file per folder, or does LR2 make XMP files for each picture?

>XMP sidecars are only created for proprietary raw files (eg CR2, NEF, etc) and only when you save metadata out to file.
Good, so since I do not use proprierary RAW's, I am safe. Thanks. I do plan to save metadata to the files, so in the future, other programs can use it.

One file to mutliple metadata records ?
