Stop inporting of duplicate files

I back up all my RAW files from a wedding to my Epson P5000. Sometimes my assistant or I will backup the same CF twice. I have 'do not import duplicates' set, however, Aperture always imports them anyway.
Anyway to set this as a default that works or do I simply need to toss the preferences?
Thanks!
Corbin

You are probably better of using a serial naming scheme and custom folder name for each different camera you use so that there it is obvious that you are backing up the same card multiple times on the Epson.

Options for stopping duplicate files

Hi,
We have a requirement for an interface for Flat Files to IDOC, but we have to stop duplicate files coming in based on 2 fields in the flat file. We have to check a Sequence Number in the file and make sure we haven't processed a file with this seq number already (so if yesterdays file was Sequence number 11 then todays file should be sequence number 12). Also we need to check that the Date Field in the file is todays date.
Can you give me some suggestions on how we would do this in SAP PI? The date is probably OK, I can check it in my mapping but the sequence number I'm having trouble with. Can I write a UDF to access a file on the local file system and update this with sequence numbers?
Thanks in advance,
Gareth

>>> refer below link,
>>> http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/DifferentwaystokeepyourInterfacefromprocessingduplicate+files
Thanks for this, but it doesn't suit our needs. This only archives the file name of each file and then checks if that file has been processed. We need to store a sequence number from within a file and also a date.
If anyone has used PI Tables from within a Message Mapping or UDF and can explain how to access them that would be great.
Thanks,
Gareth

Sender File adapter and duplicate file processing

If I set the sender file adapter to delete or archive and when a file gets picked up and processed, this file will not get deleted/archived unless it was successfully processed. However, if it errors out during processing, the file remains but it's message will get persisted in the integration engine or adapter engine. Since there's automatic retry, we have the potential for duplicate processing as in addition to the retry, the file is still continously polling for this file. In other words, how do we stop this duplicate file processing?
Thanks.

Hi Bevan,
However, if it errors out during processing, the file remains but it's message will get persisted in the integration engine or adapter engine.
your file wont get deleted unless adapter engine sucesfull pickups. if does not picked up at adapter engine then is not stored in adapter engine . if it reached Intergation Server and failed their then file would be deleted.
please let me know if you haveany questions
please reward points

Duplicate file handling using Module

Hi All
The Scenario is like this------
XI is picking a files from FTP location.
Duplicate files are also getting picked by XI.
To handle this i have written a module using NWDS which is finding it out wheather the file is duplicate or not. If the file is not duplicate then it is getting processed.
Now the problem i am facing is
I dont want to process the file if it is found duplicate, then what code i should write.
What are the ways i can stop the processing of duplicate file.
Regards
Dheeraj Kumar

Hi
I have implemented a module in which i can find out wheather the file is duplicate or not. If the file is not duplicate process the file.
now the problem is --- if file is duplicate then i dont want to process the file.
How can i achieve this?

Duplicate File Handling Issues - Sender File Adapter - SAP PO 7.31 - Single Stack

Hi All,
We have a requirement to avoid processing of duplicate files. Our system is PI 7.31 Enh. Pack 1 SP 23. I tried using the 'Duplicate File Handling' feature in Sender File Adapter but things are not working out as expected. I processed same file again and again and PO is creating successful messages everytime rather than generating alerts/warnings or deactivating the channel.
I went through the link Michal's PI tips: Duplicate handling in file adapter - 7.31 . I have maintained similar setting but unable to get the functionality achieved. Is there anything I am missing or any setting that is required apart from the Duplicate file handling check box and a threshold count??
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Abhishek

Hello Sarvjeet,
I'd to write a UDF in message mapping to identify duplicate files and throw an exception. In my case, I had to compare with the file load directory (source directory) with the archive directory to identify whether the new file is a duplicate or not. I'm not sure if this is the same case with you. See if below helps: (I used parameterized mapping to input the file locations in integration directory rather than hard-coding it in the mapping)
AbstractTrace trace;
    trace = container.getTrace();
    double archiveFileSize = 0;
    double newFileSizeDouble = Double.parseDouble(newFileSize);
    String archiveFile = "";
    String archiveFileTrimmed = "";
    int var2 = 0;
    File directory = new File(directoryName);
    File[] fList = directory.listFiles();
    Arrays.sort(fList, Collections.reverseOrder());
    // Traversing through all the files
    for (File file : fList){
        // If the directory element is a file
        if (file.isFile()){
                        trace.addInfo("Filename: " + file.getName()+ ":: Archive File Time: "+ Long.toString(file.lastModified()));
                        archiveFile = file.getName();
                      archiveFileTrimmed = archiveFile.substring(20);
                      archiveFileSize = file.length();
                        if (archiveFileTrimmed.equals(newFile) && archiveFileSize == newFileSizeDouble ) {
                                var2 = var2 + 1;
                                trace.addInfo("Duplicate File Found."+newFile);
                                if (var2 == 2) {
                                        break;
                        else {
                                continue;
    if (var2 == 2) {
        var2 = 0;
        throw new StreamTransformationException("Duplicate File Found. Processing for the current file is stopped. File: "+newFile+", File Size: "+newFileSize);
return Integer.toString(var2);

ITunes Library file cannot be saved. A duplicate file name was specified.

Every time I open up iTunes I get the error 'The iTunes Library file cannot be saved. A duplicate file name was specified.'
I've had this problem for a couple of months, tried out every solution I can find, changed the library names, recreated the library etc. Recreating the library seemed to work for a few days, but now the problem has returned. Because of this problem I can't add any new songs to my iTunes, and I cannot update any of my apps.
Any help would be appreciated!

I also have the same problem as in the duplicate file was specified thing after opening up itunes.
But for me is the apps. I can't download or update my apps from my comp but i can do that on my iphone. I did tried to transfer purchases but it popped up about something that if i dont authorize this comp my apps will be removed. When i clicked dont authorize, it removed almost all my apps so i stopped in the middle of syncing. I click authorize and after entering my apple ID, another pop up saying that there is an error in transfering the purchases and told me to repair my itunes. I tried that too but it didnt work. I already did authorize my comp long ago. When i clicked cancel, it doesnt sync all my stuff and remains the same cause it always stuck at the apps. I tried to uninstall itunes but it says there's an error in the package thing, error code 2330. Any idea on what should i do? >_<

Mac won't let me move files into a folder bc it THINKS there are duplicate files - but they're not

Mac won't let me move files into a folder bc it THINKS there are duplicate files - but they're not. There are hundreds of what it thinks are duplicates. How can I get it to let me put them all into a folder and create unique names? If I do one file at a time, it gives me the option to keep both files. But not when I am moving hundreds at a time.

A reply to an old problem, but I couldn't find this solution anywhere. I had the same problem when I moved my iTunes library to an external drive. As Apple recommends, I used File > Library > Organize Library > Consolidate Files to copy my music files from my overstuffed hard drive to the external drive. Copying went fine for a while, adding about two-thirds of my files to the new drive without incident. Then I got the big stop sign with the error message: "Copying files failed. The disk could not be read from or written to."
This turned out to have nothing to do with either the hard drive or the external disk. I had a bad file in my music library that was shutting down the consolidation process. Unfortunately the error message says nothing about which file may be the culprit. All I could think to do was to go back to my original library in iTunes and sort by Artist, select all cuts with artists beginning with A, right click and select "Consolidate Files". Then do the same with B artists, etc. Proceeding this way, files resumed copying but when I got to the "S" selections, the consolidate process failed again. Then I selected smaller and smaller batches until the problem file was identified. Removed it from my library and then Consolidate worked fine through the rest of the library. Problem solved.
I spent several days working through this; hope I can save someone else the time.

ITunes creating duplicate files under a hidden folder named "Volumes".

It seems my iTunes program is secretly making a duplicate file in a hidden folder called "Volumes" on my laptop hard drive. It's now maxxed out my drive and I need to both remove the "Volumes" folder and make sure it doesn't get created and happen again.
Details:
Using a Powerbook G4 with an 80gb drive. Using iTunes 8. The iTunes library program is in the usual place on the lap top hard drive but the music library folder, where all the files get saved to, is on an external drive labeled "Media".
Clicking normally and searching around my laptop hard drive, I do not see or am able to access the folder named "Volumes". But I know it exists as I ran a scan program called jdiscreport and it clearly shows a huge folder, 45gb, named "Volumes". There are also a few old flacs in the "Volume folder also. The iTunes duplicate files are in identically named folders as the external drive: iTunes Music located within Media, located within Volumes.
When I rip a CD in iTunes (or the iTunes-LAME program I sometimes use), the files do go to the proper external folder as expected and as I've set in the iTunes preferences section. So why is iTunes also saving the same thing to this mystery "Volumes" folder on the lap top hard drive? How do I get rid of this folder without wiping my drive? How do I stop it from continuing?
Help, I have 2gb of free space left!
Thanks, James

Hi I am having a similar issue, It all started when I tried to restore from the Time Machine and it threw a error back stating that there is no disk available. I was wondering how come and went to find out what is happening and was shocked to find out that actually my entire Macintosh HD has a duplicate copy inside the /Volumes folder. I went to the XTERM to investigate and found that the / (root) has a Users folder where all my stuffs like pictures, music, movies, documents reside and the same data or content is duplicated in the /Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users folder
I first thought that it was only a link, but I later found that it is not a link and it is indeed a physical copy of all my User folders inside the /Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users folder and actually occupying my Hard disk space.
I am not sure how this happened or how it is duplicating itself. I am also afraid to delete the stuffs inside the /Volumes folder as it might crash my system (it is already hidden - I assume it is hidden for some purpose). Please suggest any options, how I can get rid of these duplicated data and how to avoid such duplication in the future.
Thanks

Synch duplicates files in ipod

I'm new with the Ipod, so I'm sure there's a simple solution to this.
If the Ipod is plugged into the computer, it lights up and says "do not disconnect." It persists in this for a while, and when it's done, each file in each playlist has been duplicated on the Ipod. Two copies of each song, etc.
If it's disconnected and then reconnected, I get THREE copies of each file on the Ipod, etc.
I would rather this not happen. How do I stop it?
Also, is there a simple way to get the duplicates OUT of the Ipod? I click on each duplicate (after setting the Ipod to "manual") and hit "delete," but the duplicate files still appear when the Ipod is restarted.
Many thanks for any assistance!

Hi, ok, what troubleshooting steps have you attempted? I.E. resetting the iPod?
Also, in iTunes have you made sure that the little box beside the songs in your library is checked. If the box is checked then it should be blue with a little check mark. If not it'll be white.
I hope that helps.

Stop processing the duplicate record values

Hi Experts,
   I have a requirement that i need do not process the duplicate values from the file place in FTP.
Scenerio is File->PI->RFC.
For ex:
Source Data:
      Name,Emp_id,DOB,Designation,Location,Joining_Date,Time_Stamp
      Moni,654654,11-09-1980,Developer,TN,20-02-2008,24-03-2014:3.38pm
      Shiva,654612,21-02-1982,Developer,TN,15-08-2009,24-03-2014:3.38pm
      Venkat,654655,19-01-1983,Developer,TN,28-10-2010,24-03-2014:3.38pm
      Moni,654654,11-09-1980,Developer,TN,20-02-2008,24-03-2014:9.38pm
If next time the same record comes like Moni,654654,11-09-1980,Developer,TN,20-02-2008,24-03-2014:9.38pm,no need to process this record values.
How to stop processing the duplicate record.Kindly share some ideas to achieve this requirement by using PI 7.1.
Best Regards,
Monikandan.

Hi ,
Here is one of the clean sol:
1)Using FCC read record by record by giving end separator as newline in FCC.
Reading a delimeter separated file whose columns may jumble
2)Use two mapping in one operation mapping .
1st Mapping :
Sourcefield()-->sort(ascending)-->splitbyvalue(valuechange)-->eachvalue-->collapsecontext-->udf-->
splitbyvalue(eachvalue)-->map to all target fields
Keep context of source field to top node to come all values in single array
for(int i=0;i<input.length;i++){
String temp[] = input[i].split(",");
if(temp.length == 7)
Name.addValue(temp[0]) ;
Emp_id.addValue(temp[1]) ;
DOB.addValue(temp[2]) ;
Designation.addValue(temp[3]) ;
Location.addValue(temp[4]) ;
Joining_Date.addValue(temp[5]) ;
Time_Stamp.addValue(temp[6]) ;
else{throw new StreamTransformationException("field missing in col "+i)}// up to you
Mapping 2:Actual file structure to RFC

IPod will not sync, "duplicate file name" - iTunes 10

I upgraded to iTunes 10 now my library won't sync! It syncs a few hundred songs (I have thousands) and then stops with the error "The iPod "blah" cannot be synced. A duplicate file name was specified."
I've changed the usb port, restored the iPod, "Repaired" iTunes in Control Panel, Formatted the disc in Windows - done EVERYTHING every forum has suggested. And the error STILL occurs. It seems many people are having this same problem. Please APPLE help out here.

I'm having the same problem, I've been looking everywhere how to solve it, but I can't found a solution for windows. `Somebody help!

Itunes & duplicate files

I have just deleted over 20GB of duplicate files from my music folder on my PC, these have been created by Itunes, does anyone know why Itunes creates duplicate files and how to stop it?
Windows XP Pro

I've got over 900 dupes like this. I looked at each pair, and the only difference is the modification date. All mp3 tags are the same, as are the compression params and the Fairplay params.
In my case these dupes were created when I imported large partions of an almost-but-not-quite identical library from another computer, in attempt to do a manual sync between two iTunes libraries on two different machines.
iTunes seems to be a bit too conservative in it's criteria for detecting differences during an import. Clashing mp3 tags is reasonable, but clashing mod dates when there's no other differences is too much. I'm going to file this as an iTunes bug.
