Proper use of location in metadata

I'm building my library of images now with LR and want to get started on the right foot. I store on CD. In Metadata "Location" I have entered the CD volume name as a way of identifying where the images are stored. But now I am wondering if the Metadata "Source" under workflow would be a better place to record the CD name such as "2007_03_08b" Can someone point me down the correct path so I don't regret my actions after thousands of images later? Thanks

<blockquote>In Metadata "Location" I have entered the CD volume</blockquote>The IPTC metadata location is intended to store the physical location the shot was taken (as in "Museum", "City Hall", "Home"). It is also recommended to fill out the other location fields (Country, State, City) to make proper use of the Location Metadata Browser. Alexander. -- Canon EOS 400D (aka.

Trying to use Oracle Locator for latitude and longitude proximity searches

I am prototyping using Oracle Locator to do proximity searches and other spatial operations within the database in our software products. I’ve got it working fine in SQL Server, where geodetic is built in as well as geometric features, but with Oracle we’re trying to restrict ourselves to the Locator features so our customers are forced to buy the add-on. I am getting perplexing results, as you can see if you run the little test program I wrote.
I am using lat and long as the point coordinates. I am inserting the data using
SDO_GEOMETRY(2001, 4326, SDO_POINT_TYPE(?, ?, null), null, null
Then I am doing the search with
SELECT pointname, SDO_NN_DISTANCE (1) distance_in_miles
FROM geotest g
WHERE SDO_NN(g.geopoint, sdo_geometry(2001, 4326, SDO_POINT_TYPE(38.683, 123.083, NULL), NULL, NULL), 'distance=1000 unit=mile', 1) = 'TRUE'
ORDER BY distance_in_miles
I am getting distances from 56 to 86 units, whatever the units are.
Am I attempting the impossible with Locator, to use lat and long and then expect the sdo_nn function to work in miles?
Select results:
POINTNAME DISTANCE_IN_MILES
Point number 19 56.8497254738894
Point number 17 57.0758802885512

Couple of things that we found out using sdo_nn here...
It works...but the knobs need to be turned in the right order...
You may have done this already...but here is what we have...
a. we create our table containing the location sdo_geometry column ..( in our case the column is called location )
b.We loaded the data..If you elected to use a partitioned table for your spatial data and created the corresponding spatial index as local...your sql will need to account for that.if your index is global ..don't worry about it
c. We inserted the metadata...this needs to be done once per table...by either the dba or the schema owner...
INSERT INTO USER_SDO_GEOM_METADATA (TABLE_NAME, COLUMN_NAME, DIMINFO, SRID)
VALUES ('<YOUR TABLE NAME>', '<SPATIAL COLUMN NAME>',
MDSYS.SDO_DIM_ARRAY
(MDSYS.SDO_DIM_ELEMENT('LONGITUDE', -180.0, 180.0, 0.5),
MDSYS.SDO_DIM_ELEMENT('LATITUDE', -90.0, 90.0, 0.5)
8307);
COMMIT;
If this is not done before the spatial index is created...stuff won't work...
d. create your spatial index
e. our query looked something like this...( I changed the table names )
This returns the top 30 results sorted by distance in feet...
SELECT LOCATION_KEY,
result_center_distance
FROM
SELECT LOCATION_KEY,
SDO_NN_DISTANCE(1) result_center_distance
FROM LOCATION_OWNER.D_LOCATION dlocation
WHERE SDO_NN(dlocation.LOCATION,
MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY(2001,8307,MDSYS.SDO_POINT_TYPE(-97.07845,33.138006,null),null,null), 'SDO_NUM_RES=31 unit=FOOT distance=5800.0 SDO_MAX_MEMORY=50000000', 1) = 'TRUE'
ORDER BY 2
WHERE ROWNUM <= 31
We had to use this structure because our index is local...and sdo_nn will return the sdo_num_res results for each partition...so you need to get the results first..then treat it as a top-n query...
If you index is global...this should work
SELECT LOCATION_KEY,
SDO_NN_DISTANCE(1) result_center_distance
FROM LOCATION_OWNER.D_LOCATION dlocation
WHERE SDO_NN(dlocation.LOCATION,
MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY(2001,8307,MDSYS.SDO_POINT_TYPE(-97.07845,33.138006,null),null,null), 'SDO_NUM_RES=31 unit=FOOT distance=5800.0 SDO_MAX_MEMORY=50000000', 1) = 'TRUE'
ORDER BY 2
If you want the distance in MILE...replace FOOT by MILE...
good luck...

How do you populate location's metadata?

I'm just looking after ideas or your solutions on how to populate Country, State and City metadata. We all know what those terms mean, but it's sometimes difficult to populate them... and I don like to have them as "Unknown". For example:
I make one-day visit to some small place in Italy, about 30km outside nearest town, where the photo is actually taken on the hills nearby.
So, all I have for sure is Country=Italy.
I could enter State as Province (Italy has more than hundred of them), but that would require quite a lot research to findout which place belong to which province -especially if visiting some foreign country (think of Asian states provinces).
OK, I'll leave all State/Province blank too (thus "Unknown).
Now about City: as said, nearest is about 30km away from shooting location and I actually never been there. Does/would that city count in your usage?
Should I leave City blank too? Well, I'll have a lot "unknown" places then. And IMO it doesn't make sense I write City="Bruno's farm" (should be used for Location tag though).
How do you deal with these?
Thanks for ideas,
Bogdan

I have a two part answer:
1. Where I do have records of the location, even if it requires research, I fill out as much as I have. Country and State/Provence/Whatever are usually easy to reconstruct. I use the nearest city unless I'm in a Wildlife Refuge, Park, Reserve, et. Then I use that for City.
I also create a keyword hierarchy which mirrors this, since LR won't automatically do this for me.
2. Going forward I now shoot with a GPS on my D2X and will know exactly where I was. Perhaps there will be some easy lookup feature to populate the location fields from this one day. Until then, I'll just pop out to Google maps in LR and see where I was (if I can't remember).
I know it sounds like I forget where I am a lot. The reality is that I go on multiweek shoots and cover a lot of ground before returning home. That was the motivator for the GPS, just tired of trying to remember which part of the jungle I was in for a given pic.

Since you can see it in your device list it must have Find My Mac activated, but you're going to have to wait for them to take it online in order to either locate, lock or wipe it. Until it goes online you can't do anything. http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/find-my-device/

After the most recent update, I can no longer access stand alone GPS services. What's up with that? I am now forced to use google location services which use up some of my data allotment.

Using service Locator pattern to dynamically access remote EJBs

Hi All,
Please help to guide me how I can use a service locator to retrieve a remote object (residing on another application but on same domain) .
I do not want to use Dependency Injection since I want to dynamically discover them ( there are many implementations of same interface (POJO)). Each EJB implementation implements its own remote/local interface that extends this global POJO interface.
I have two J2ee-Applications on same domain. J2EE-Application 1 has an EJB module (EJB Module 1) that intends to access an EJB Module (EJB Module 2) in J2EE-Application 2. Following observations:
1. Dependency Injection fails if (include the EJB Module 2 jar in J2EE-Application 1). Reason App Server complains the EJB has been deployed (Deployment fails)
2. Dependency Injection works if (exclude the EJB Module 2 jar in J2EE-Application 1) and include the Remote Interface in EJB Module 1(J2EE-Application 1).Positive Observation (Deployment success and DI also success)
3.Using Service Locator to retrieve the remote object if (exclude the EJB Module 2 jar in J2EE-Application 1) and include the Remote Interface in EJB Module 1(J2EE-Application 1). Negative and Positive Observation.
Positive Observation: Using dependency injection I can still retrieve the Remote Object
Another Positive: The Service Locator remote lookup to another Bean in same Application but different EJB Module is successful.
Negative Observation:
The Service Locator lookup to this same remote object with Successful Dependency Injection fails (An Ejb in a different application).
Can't retrieve the Remote Object with Service Locator. Message from Server:.
NoInitialContextException: Need to specify class name in environment or system property, or as an applet parameter, or in an application resource file: java.naming.factory.initial.
Thanks in advance

"I do not want to use Dependency Injection since I want to dynamically discover them ( there are many implementations of same interface (POJO))"
If you're calling ejbs from other ejbs or servlets, the same could probably be acomplished by using dependency injection (@EJB) in a number of instance variables typed with different remote/local interfaces or even with different beanName attributes (for when more than one bean implements the same managed interface in the same app - not sure how it works outside the same jee app...) , and dinamically selecting one of them; or encapsulating those injected variables into a stateless ejb as your service locator to make them accessible from POJOs too (which, due to concurrent acess, wouldn't work for statefull ejbs references...).
Anyway, using the jndi lookup service locator pattern seems ok in this case.
What doesn't seem ok, given the nature of the error for the negative observation - jndi context initialization - is that
Another Positive: The Service Locator remote lookup to another Bean in same Application but different EJB Module is successful.
Can you check your code and reconfirm that you're using the same context initialization code for both the positive and negative observations ?

How to create custom report plugin using child region report metadata

Hi,
I want to ask for help on how to create custom report plugin using child region report metadata. My idea is to create a child region, a classic report and set the condition to never.
Then i will query the child report metadata from apex view and use it to create a custom report like using jquery jq-grid. Any idea how i can create a process that will use the child report
metadata? I dont know how i can create a process just like how apex work, how apex render report, coz i want it to be control using the standard apex report attribute. This plugin will
render according to the child report attribute.
Is there anybody here had ever done this?

Hi Nicolette,
Thanks for the reply. I know where to find the metadata, just asking for idea on how the rendering process will be.
Start from determining column heading, column order until finish rendering the report. The same way how apex
render the classic report.
Previously this imy my rendering process:
FUNCTION GETCOLUMN(P_REGION IN APEX_PLUGIN.T_REGION,
                     P_PLUGIN IN APEX_PLUGIN.T_PLUGIN,
                     P_VALUE IN VARCHAR2) RETURN SYS.DBMS_SQL.DESC_TAB2 IS
    VSQLHANDLER     APEX_PLUGIN_UTIL.T_SQL_HANDLER;
    VCOLCOUNT       NUMBER;
    VCOLNAMES       VARCHAR2(2000);
    VAJAXIDENTIFIER VARCHAR2(100);
    VPAGESIZE       TYPEATTR := P_REGION.ATTRIBUTE_04;
    VJSCODE         VARCHAR2(32767);
BEGIN
    VSQLHANDLER := APEX_PLUGIN_UTIL.GET_SQL_HANDLER(P_SQL_STATEMENT => 'select * from s_emp',
                                                    P_MIN_COLUMNS    => 1,
                                                    P_MAX_COLUMNS    => 999,
                                                    P_COMPONENT_NAME => P_REGION.ID);
    VCOLCOUNT := VSQLHANDLER.COLUMN_LIST.COUNT();
    FOR I IN 1 .. VCOLCOUNT LOOP
      VCOLNAMES := VCOLNAMES || '{name: "' ||
                   UPPER(VSQLHANDLER.COLUMN_LIST(I).COL_NAME) || '",';
    END LOOP;
    APEX_PLUGIN_UTIL.FREE_SQL_HANDLER(VSQLHANDLER);
    RETURN VSQLHANDLER.COLUMN_LIST;
EXCEPTION
    WHEN OTHERS THEN
      APEX_PLUGIN_UTIL.FREE_SQL_HANDLER(VSQLHANDLER);
      RAISE;
END GETCOLUMN;
So this is how i get the header for my report plugin. The same method is use to get the value / data for each column. This process is work. So now
i want to extend my plugin so that i will use all attributes from the child report to render my plugin. So the column header, column order, all will depend
on the child report. And the column display condition is set, it will also check the condition before render the column. Sounds like i want to reinvent
the normal apex rendering process but this is what i want to achieve.
I need help to find the correct logic for my render process. Don't want too much for starting, just want to render the plugin correctly, same with child report,
same columns alias, column ordering and column conditional display.
Thanks,
akulala

Photo elements wants to open last used dir location. When it doesn't exist or cannot access, it fails to open. How do you set the default file location?

Upset!!!
Photo elements wants to open at the last used folder location. When it does not exist or unable to open that location. It FAILS to OPEN.
Does not seem to be a way to set a default location or to change the location.
VERY ANNOYING.
How do you tell photo elements to always go to a set location rather than the last used location?
Thank you

Hi,
I did a test as you suggested - open an image on a removable drive, close the editor and took the removable offline. When I next went to the editor, it opened OK.
From the screen shot in message #5 above, I think that the fault is with SolidWorks. I am not familiar with that product but it seems to be a form of asset management and it can't open its database - is that on the removable?
Normally, the editor does not open any files when it loads except for it program files and any addins. Could SolidWorks be an addin?
See if this works to reset the preferences.
Create a desktop shortcut for this file
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
Hold down the Ctrl, Shift & Alt keys when you double click on the shortcut. Keep the keys held down and eventually a message box will pop up asking if you want to reset the preferences - you do.

Proper Use Of Sessions

Hi everyone,
My fellow developers and I were having a discussion as to the proper use of sessions in a web application built with Servlets. The situation was we were building a method to get search results from a database and we wanted to have the ability to limit the number of results displayed per page.
One method of doing this was to get the entire search result, load that into a hashtable or some other data structure, and put that into a session variable to preserve the hashtable.
The other method was to re-query the database every time the person clicked the 'view next' button and get a new result set every time.
I tend to favor the use of session variables to maintain the ResultSet...as I was taught that database connections are expensive and should be limited. However, according to one of the other developers, storing objects (especially when they are potentially large) in session variables is not recommended.
So what do you guys think? Should be store large objects in session variables, or should we re-query the database every time the person loads the page?
As a side note, the servers we use are quite robust, but we know that that is not an excuse to write in-efficient code.

Its a trade off between memory and database access.
Storing stuff in session is expensive in terms of memory.
The more stuff you store in session, the more overhead there is with each user of the system.
Querying the database each time saves you memory on the app server, but means more work for the database.
Which is better? As always it depends.
- How many users are projected for the system? More users means you want to keep the session as light as possible.
- Is the query is hugely expensive to run? A long running query that only returns a few records - you would want to cache that in session.
- Are you able to limit the result set data returned via the database? Some database support this, some don't. ie if you did a database query each time would you have to step through "5 pages" of data to get to display the "6th" page, or could you just get the data for page 6 using row numbers?
Database connections themselves aren't that expensive to acquire if you are using connection pooling, but they are still a limited resource.
Hope that helps some,

Proper use of END-OF-SELECTION event in report programme

Hi,
If we will write "WRITE" statements in side START-OF-SELECTION then it will help me to display the output.Then what is the need of END-OF-SELECTION .
Can any body please tell me the proper use of END-OF-SELECTION event in report programme.

This is the last of the events called by the runtime environment to occur. It is triggered after all of the data has been read from the logical database, and before the list processor is started.
In report programs using LDB for every value selected the program issues the output, to control this you would use END-OF-SELECTION. Now if you call your output in this event, the output is made only after all the values are selected as per the selection criteria.
suppose while coding, u need a logic like below:
if a condition is satisfied continue with the report
and if not satisfied, then display a message and end the report.
then u can code like below.
start-of-slection.
if a = <condition>.
do the following.......
else.
stop.
end-of-selection.
write: 'THIS IS END'.
stop command triggers end-of-slection from anywhere.
I hope it helps.

How to use OEM location in OWB?

What is a purpose of oem location in owb 9.2 (9.0.4)?
This location doesn't use in any module and integration with oem realize through oem_exec_template.sql script that manually register in oem.
How to use this location?

Dmitry,
This location would be used in the process flow configuration of an individual activity. The location enables you to perform remote node execution. For example, if you wanted to execute SQL loader on a remote node (not the actual target machine) then this would happen via the OEM location. The use of the OEM location would require an Oracle Management Server (OMS) set up and OEM agents locally.

Using iPod location services to find my way round new places

I like to use location services with map apps (such as OffMaps and MapsWithMe) to help me find my way around new places.
I understand that the information ipod uses for location services, the positions of various wifi transmitters, is stored in an Apple database and that the location result is likely to be very approximate. My problem is that I cant figure out how and when the relevant data arrives in my ipod. Typically it seems that when in a new town, during my first wander round the place, the ipod does not know where it is - locations will not be shown on these map apps. On subsequent travels through the town iPod does seem to know where it is and displays its location on the maps quite nicely. (But by then of course I too know my way around and so don't need theiPod;s assistance so much to help figure out where I am.)
So my questions are
1) At what point does the ipod get to store the crucial location information? I'm wondering for instance whether the ipod remembers the SSIDs as it encounters them, but only learns about their locations when it is next connected to the internet?
2) I'd like to know how much of this information the iPod can remember and for how long is it remembered. (If I go back to a place visited last year will any of the previously "learnt" locations be remembered by the iPod. I may well have forgotten my way round the place by then and the iPod's help would be useful)
3) Is it possible to "teach" the ipod about known wifi locations in a particular geographical area before visiting the area. That would be a tremendous boon to me.

Good questions. However, I have never seen or heard about any information from Apple about how the iPod (and wifi-only iPad) really determine location. I am waiting for answers from other users.

Hi,
If you are using ESS and you get the warning message when you enter details for a particular expense type. Please follow the config and hide the location details. Then you will not get this error message.
SAP Customizing Implementation Guide > Financial Accounting (New) > Travel Management > Travel Expenses > Dialog and Travel Expenses Control > Dialog Control > Field Control for Additional Receipt Information.
Enter your trip provision variant, select the expense type for which you dont want to enter the location details and then select details. Search for the variable location, select hide radio button and save.
Please let me know if you have further clarifications.

How can I use the 'Location' field?

I'd like to use the location field on my Time Capsule to keep the correct GPS location. What is the correct format for this?
How do I enable this so that devices can use this to set their location?

I don't suppose it's likely to occure in a future release of time capsule software is it?
On the Support Community, we are all users....just like you....so we have no way of knowing what Apple's future plans might be regarding new products or software.
