Problems exporting metadata (using bridge).

Hello.
I'm trying to export metadata from OWB to Discoverer. I've a multidimensional model and now I want to explore it using Discoverer.
When I export metadata, OWB creates a file like:
BEGIN End User Layer Export
EUL_Version 3.1.92.0.7
EUL_Unique_Id 20030315095138
EUL_Characterset_WE8MSWIN1252
Define Object
Type BUSINESS AREA
Name AREA CASO 1
mName AREA CASO 1
mDescription Área de negocios del caso de estudio del almacén de comestibles.
mId
EndDefine Object
Define Object
This file can't read by Discoverer because not is a XML file. How can I export the .eex using XMI especification?
Thanks.

Juan Antonio,
What version of Warehouse Builder are you using?
It seems you have selected the Discoverer 3 bridge which may not generate an XML file (I am not sure about the Discoverer 3 format).
Anyway, you have to define a business area in OWB (or collection if you use OWB904) that contains the object definitions you want to export when you run the bridge.

Exporting Metadata from bridge to excel or other like program.

Is there a way to export just the metadata, using Bridge, associated with an image file into excel, access, or some other like program?
I would like to perform some kind of batch processing, so as to make the process quick. But I would be open to any other work around scenario.
I am working with Windows XP Professional and Adobe CS2.
Any help would be appreciated!

I've followed the instructions and I am having problems getting data to the folder I set up on my desktop.
I have tried selecting several images and then just one image to export the slected metadata to said folder. By right clicking the images and chosing the script you sent me and then followed your instructions for when your CSV Data Collector Window pops up.
For the Please Slect Folder option i browsed to the folder where I want the info to go to.
~/Desktop/Kens Files/KensTest
For the Please Enter CSV Filename, I copied the title of the image name "2005-agropyron002.jpg"
Then I chose the type of data that I want to import such as:
FileName
DocWidth
DocHigth...
I then go to that folder and there is no info. there.
Please, if you can, give me more detailed instruction.
Thanks,
Bill

Exporting metadata Using ODI

Has anyone run into an error when exporting metadata using ODI. I cannot export more then 925 lines of my Entity dimension. I have been working with Oracle for over 2 weeks and have not been able to resolve issue. It appears to me to be a memory or limit issue. I am able to run for smaller dimensions.

It could be down to the API trying to open more connections than windows will allow, have a look at these registry changes - Re: Analytic Server Error(1042017): Network error:
They are also available on Oracle support so it is a common issue.

Problems with metadata in Bridge CS3

We have a couple of problems:
Problem 1: Every time images are rotated we are losing the embedded metadata?
When an image arrives from a photographer and shows an orientation of 90° in the camera exif metadata (as seen in Bridge) we have to rotate it (or just resave it in Photoshop) so that it appears the right way up. This causes it to lose its metadata.
Obviously if we do all the rotating BEFORE we input metadata then this isnt a huge problem.
However it is a problem if the images arrive with metadata that we would like to keep.
Problem 2 Weve noticed that Bridge doesnt always write metadata to a file across the server. Weve run tests to check this: we write metadata to a file using Bridge but when we open the image in Photoshop its not there. Is this a known fault?
Thank you very much for any help,
Susannah

According problem 1: this is not normal behavior and you could try first to restart Bridge holding down option key to reset the preferences.
But if you experience this also on the server I don't know if this solutions works. And according to problem 2, you should open a case on Adobe support using the little contact button top right on this page, not many users (including me) of this forum are using a server or know a lot about of that workflow :-(
You could try a forum search also on the word server (Search for forum only works when you are on the mainpage with al the post for Bridge for some strange reason...)

Can I Export Metadata Using CS2?

Hi Everbody,
I'd like to generate a text file for my client with filenames, captions, and credits. Can I do this from CS2 somehow? I can't see how to do it in Bridge or Photoshop at this point. Thanks in advance for your time, folks.
Phil

Phil,
Go to www.creativescripting.net
Look for the barred rock scripts. There's a script in there that exports metadata to a csv file.
Make sure you download all the docs too!

Problems with CS6 using Bridge

Hi - any help will be greatly appreciated! I cannot get PS6 to use Bridge or MiniBridge. I just get "Waiting for Bridge CS6"
I'm running Windows 7, SP1; and McAfee Security Center 11.6. My account has Admin privileges. I installed a full version of CS6 from CD. And I installed the latest updates (as of 4/3/13) for both products.PS6 and Bridge.
Here's what I've tried:
I installed CS6 successfully - Bridge won't launch from within CS6 (Bridge runs fine as a separate application.) I uninstalled CS2, and rebooted, then re-installed CS6 - Bridge still won't launch.
I uninstalled Photoshop Elements 10 (all the pieces) & rebooted. I re-installed CS6 – Bridge still won't launch.
I uninstalled Lightroom 1 & rebooted. I re-installed CS6 - Bridge still won't launch.
I checked online to try to find a solution and found this link: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/error-waiting-for-bridge-cs5.html
I renamed the switchboard folder; re-booted; launched CS6 – Bridge still won’t launch.
I checked for issues with McAfee. McAfee lists both Photoshop CS6 and Bridge CS6 as having Full access to the internet. I cannot find any way to allow or block programs on my PC from communicating with each other.
I checked my hosts file. It contains only comments.
I cleared the cryptographic database and deleted keys via regedit (as instructed by link above) & re-booted.
The only thing I did not try on the list was moving everything to a new account. I am really reluctant to do this because it is more onerous than using Bridge as a stand-alone app!
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the reply, Mylenium. Unfortunately, that didn't make any difference.
I first attempted to re-install the current version and got the message "Adobe Air already installed. This version of Adobe Air is already installed on your system."
Next, I un-installed the version on my computer, re-booted, then re-installed it. That didn't work either.

Exporting Metadata In Bridge CS4

Bridge CS3 used to have a decent metadata export script, CS4 seems not to have this feature. How do I export the metadata from multiple image files in CS4 as a file type readable by EXCEL?

   An excellent little script Paul and I thank you for it.
   May I make several suggestions. This comes from a user and not a programmer so I am looking at it from the possibility of future usage. I am not trying to be critical, as I do love this little gem, only seeing how I would use it.
Have it so that the directory structure does not export. A user will likely be saving the CSV file in the same directory so showing the directory is moot. Or make it optional.
Have it so that the last used set of selected fields (row headings) become the default. It saves the user from having to select the same ones time after time.
Have the selected fields show up as the row headings in the file.
   I have needed something like this. I have a large collection of digital archives (10,000+ images) which is metadata centric and which I am using for a web site. Since Adobe does not have a way to export my carefully created and crafted metadata enmasse I can easily see where this script can aid in my design.
   In the past I have been forced to copy my metadata information from Bridge into my design. This was tedious after the 800th or so crafted HTML file. Using this script I can now export it to a spreadsheet for usage.
   Thank you!

Problems writing metadata in bridge

hi all,
we are using mobile users on OD with 10.6.6 and 10.6.7 clients.
in bridge CS5 on a mounted afp volume some users can add metadata and rating to pictures, others can't.
i tried all thinkable ways:
user A, AFP mount as user A = works
User B, AFP mount as user B = fail
User A, AFP mount as user B = works
User B, AFP mount as user A = fail
the AFP share comes from a Solaris ZFS pool, ACLs are correct, both users can modify files in finder or photoshop, indesign - you name it - no problem.
i already deleted the cache files of the users, the plist, even tried a totally new mac pro. i deleted the .BridgeCacheT files and verified, that the bridge cache path is writeable for the users.
nothing.
is there any way to raise the logging level of bridge or force it to give any debug messages? it simply sits there and says nothing.
thanks in advance.
michael

Bridge is not designed for use over a network, there are a lot of threads in the archive of this forum about this subject. Check also Google for the 'Image Archivist". This guy has a blog and did succeed in use over network but it needs a lot of discipline...

Problem exporting metadata after changing capture time

Hello, I've an odd problem with Lightroom (both 1.3 and 1.4).
I've all my digital camera's photos organised with Lightroom. There was no problem until I tried to change some photo's capture time.
In the beginning, the capture time shown by Windows' explorer matched with the one in Lightroom.
But when I changed some photo's capture time, and then saved the new metadata information to the file... the capture time shown by explorer was two hours later than the hour in Lightroom... it's making my crazy.
In addition I detected some things:
- If I told Lightroom to read the file's metadata the issue stayed: the computer showing, for example, 14:00, and Lightroom 12:00.
- If I exported a photo (Lightroom 12:00) the new file also shows 14:00.
First, I thought it could be a problem caused by the timezone (GMT+1) and the Summer's time in Europe (I live in Spain). (It makes 2 hours...).
But the big problem arrived when I discovered that, If I add a tag to the photos, the archive in the computer changes [I've marked that metadata is written automatically]... ¡and shows the correct time! So, it seems that, each time I change a photo's time, I'll need to add and then remove a tag...
Does it have any sense?
I would be very happy if someone could help me. Thank you very much. And sorry for my english.

I'm coming completely crazy...
without changing again the capture time (I won't use that feature again!) now it happens that some of my photos (it seems that they are the last hundreds photos i've taken) show an incorrect time in Lightroom, now one houre more than the real time.
The time in Lightroom is incorrect, but Windows' file shows a correct time. I've done nothing unusual...
What should I do? Stop using Lightroom? I liked it...

Export metadata in Bridge

Is there a way to export the metadata for each image in Bridge?Currently the export option only includes the file name and extension.

Yes the metadata can be extracted, see...

Problems writing metadata in Bridge CS4

Anyone seeing this? When I add metadata to my RAW images in Bridge, I frequently get an "Error writing metadata" message. If I have selected a folder full of images, say 700 images, I get 700 error messages. The only option is to force quit.
The problem seems to happen reliably if thumbnails or preview images are still being created, though I've had it happen with a stable folder.
Another consequence of the force quit under these circumstances is that I lose all my image adjustments on my raw files. It seems the sidecar .xml files get corrupted.
I'm on Mac 10.4.11, and the problem happens on both the desktop and the laptop.

That explains why the problem is worse on the laptop. Here's what I have in the deesktop Mac Pro, which is only 15 months old:

Export metadata using report script/data export

Hi all,
I have a cube with 3 dimensions:
1. Accounts
2. Period
3. Products
My purpose is to create a txt file using report script (if someone have a better idea I'm willing to hear) as following:
Accounts (level 0), Period (level 0), Products(level 0), ***Products (parent(level 0))***
The challenge is to create an additional column with metadata information like parent of the previous column in my exapmle.
I will be very happy if someone can help me with that.
**I'm using essbase 11.1.2.3

Problem exporting video using compressor for a final cut pro vid

I've created a video in Final Cut Pro and trying to export using compressor to apple tv. Each time about half way through it crashes final cut and gives me the 'final cut pro had to quit unexpectedly'.
Haven't a clue what is going on, it happened sometimes when i was trying to conform to HD but when i did it bit by bit it was ok.
All the media is online so really haven't a clue. I've tried using quicktime conversion in pro-res then bashing into compressor and it works but interlacing is all over the shop, even with de-interlace filter.
ANy answers with regards to why its crashing greaty appreciated!
P.S when it crashes says something about a pro-core plugin

Hi Jim,
Can you update your profile, we don't know what your hardware set up is or your OS, or version of FCS. It could give you answers a lot faster if we know your details from the off.
Ok, what format is your original media, what are your sequence settings please.

Final Cut Pro 4: Problems exporting video using QuickTime conversion

just recently updated my Mac to version 10.4.11 -
Ever since, Final Cut Pro won't let me Export my video using QuickTime Conversion.
Its starts exporting, then freezes at 79%. A general error message pops up.
I know its not a space issue, because I have 20GB left and the video i'm exporting is only 2 GB.
I installed all the software updates.
Can anyone help? Do I need a new version of Final Cut?

1) this is the final cut express forum not the pro.
2) 10.4.6 is not the latest, try updating to 10.4.11
3) after any system update you must run disk utility to repair permissions or errors that may not have been addressed during the upgrade process.
4) have you tried exporting as a reference movie then playing it in qtpro, if ok then export.
5) what are you trying to export too?

Problems exporting metadata (using bridge).
