Storing Versions

Hi Everyone,
Im just starting to shoot professionally and am switching to a referenced library for more efficient archival, backup, and relocation. Now i know how to go about working with and storing the raw files for a referenced library with aperture but I have no clue how aperture 3 handles versions. I would like to store my raw data and versions in different places but i know that a version within aperture isnt an actual stand alone image, just the changes. So my question is where can I find the files that contain the data for versions, is it all in the library file or somewhere else?
Cheers,
Scott

Scotty,
Now i know how to go about working with and storing the raw files for a referenced library with aperture but I have no clue how aperture 3 handles versions. I would like to store my raw data and versions in different places but i know that a version within aperture isnt an actual stand alone image, just the changes.
Basically, a version is only meaningful withing the context of Aperture. (Sort of... You can get low-res JPG representations of your versions through the Media Browser, if you choose, and then they are available to all Mac OS applications.)
So, if you store your masters (RAW or otherwise) as referenced masters, your RAW data and your versions are already stored in different places. (I.e., versions are indivisible from the Aperture library and your masters are wherever you put them.)
The big question back at you is: why do you want to store your masters and your versions in different places? I get the feeling you are asking the wrong (but almost right) question.
So my question is where can I find the files that contain the data for versions, is it all in the library file or somewhere else?
Some XML or binary files within the Aperture library is where you will find the data for versions. Don't try to figure it out, though, as there is no guarantee it will remain the same with the next Aperture release.

Importing problems in alv report (stored versions)

HI ALL, i have;
DATA gt_results TYPE sp_data_type OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE .
FORM X .
EXPORT gt_results TO DATABASE sp_ver_dat ID INDXKEY.
ENDFORM .
FORM Y .
IMPORT gt_results FROM DATABASE sp_ver_dat ID INDXKEY.
ENDFORM .
I coded this for storing alv datas as a version . Suppose i executed "form x" in 2008. After 1 year later, i would like to see this 2008 record. But my internal table type (sp_data_type) was changed (This change is obligatory). In example new 2 fields were added and 1 field was deleted. In spite of this, i have an error when i am attempting to run "form y" because clustered data in database does not fit gt_results anymore.
How can i run such old stored versions of this alv report? How should i design this subroutines so there will be no problems even if internal table type frequently change in future..?
I am expecitng your suggestions..
Thanks..

I think this is good solution for the versions which we will be created . Unfortunately there is no way to save (excute) old versions in which structure of internal table has changed many times. We have to handle them manually..
It means, we can save future but not past..
ISN'T IT?
Thanks all

Storing version against the page - possible enhancement

Hi, my requirement is to store a version number against each page.
Background:
We export pages and use a version manager called PVCS. This version manager has a facility to automatically update a string such as '$ Revision: $' to the actual version it is allocating when checking into pvcs. If I include the string in the page it is automatically updated at checkin time and I can then display this at runtime. Hence, we can see what version of the page is running at customer sites etc to assist us with issue resolving.
What I have found is there is no specific 'Version' field on the page itself. I have the option to use a field such as 'Comments' or even create a page item to hold the version. Ideally though, it would be simpler and make more sense to have a new Version field. Can I suggest a future enhancement to APEX for this. Developers could then use it to add a version number manually OR do I as require above.
Thanks

Ideas on storing version (ptf) info at the class level

Our product is regulated by the FDA and so must do a lot of extra documentation chores. One thing we need to do is track version numbers (we call 'em PTF's) for each source file and .class file.
We are playing with ideas on an easy way to go about this. Source files are easy. We can just put it in the comments at the top.
.class file are more difficult. We'd like to be able to take any given class file and read the PTF number off of it. We can't just store the information in a DB somewhere because that just tells us what the PTF number is supposed to be, not what it actually is. We already have a DB and we need to compare the numbers in it with the actual. Nor can we just check the source unless we can guarantee that the .class file was generated from that source and no other since it was last changed.
Does anyone have an idea on this? Have you or your company dealt with this issue?
Thanks for your input.

Using reflection is, of course, an excellent idea. I experiemented with it and got it working quite nicely except I ran into this problem:
It only works on public classes. Some of our classes have default accessibility. I create Class objects for them and read the methods out of them, but I can't call them.
Granted, we could make all of our classes public and just protect everything inside them individually, but we'd rather not make rules.
For now we are going to hack the .class files. I have a nice little utility up and running that does this for .class or .jar files. Thanks for your ideas folks!

Versioning issue. Can it be made similar to Windchill PDMLink ?

Friends,
I have one question related to versioning in SAP DMS. In many product data management tools (PDM tools) like Pro/Intralink or in Windchill PDMLink, when we check in the data say a document into the PDM, it will initially create a version say 0.1(n). Then every further check-in's will result in increment of versions by (n+1). At some point of time, when we feel, it can be released for production, we will assign a revision say A and the version becomes A.0. Then every further check-in's will result in A.1,A.2 ..Etc till we modify the revision to B where in again it will become B.0.
If I think of matching this in SAP using DMS, if I add the document in originals and check in the document to content server, I can see only the versions ( in this case, it cats like revision I guess) say AA is there. Then if I edit the original and again check in back, I need to change the status ( if status change box clicked in respective document type) to save the original. It will not even ask for status change if not clicked in document type. Save if I change originals 5 times, I can see those five changes in drop down menu but not like version numbers like in PDMLink. Can anyone help me to know if there is any possibility to have versions and revisions work like that of Windchill PDMLink in SAP DMS ?
Regards,
SM

Hello Sudarshan,
I believe we have discussed this in other forum as well. The exact feature from Windchill cannot be replicated in SAP DMS. Storing versioning and revisioning information within the file name is a very old practice and is no longer recommended.
Proper use of content versioning (this is similar to check in check out versioning in windchill), manual Versioning, status management and revision functionalities from ECR/ECO should be more than enough to handle product design documentation using SAP.

Versioning

Hello,
Is this still the best way to maintain historical versions of cache entries: Re: Storing version history in the cache
Kaveh

The thread outlines one specific use case for storing historical versions of cache entries that require scanning the versions for an entry on a regular basis.
Depending on your particular use case it may be an applicable strategy or there may be another one better suited. If you can elaborate on your requirements we may be able to better advise on the best strategy for your use case.

Reg : SQL query or Function -

Hi Experts,
I'm in a fix between 2 approaches.
Scenario :
There are 2 tables say LIT (contains Literature docs) and DIAG (contains Diagams). There's some concept called 'Base number' and 'Revision' for both the tables.
Ex - If Literature (or Diagram) is 1 then this is the 'Base number' and further revisions to this forms - 1A, 1B, 1C...
Similarly, 2 and 2A, 2B, 2C...
Inside a package I need to find out for each Base Lit and Base Diagram, their latest revisions.
Approach [1] :
Create 2 functions (1 for Lit and other for Diag) where we'll take input as a Base No and fetch its latest.
Approach [2] :
Create 2 queries, we'll use SUBSTR for all lits, find the Base no and use analytic funtions like ROW_NUMBER() and find the latest revision.
Which of the 2 will be more efficient?
In which 'context switch' will be an overhead or any other concerns?
Help much appreciated.
Thanks,

Oracle version : Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release *10.2.0.5.0* - 64biSince others have already expressed opinions about Context Switches, and I favor them, so I would not comment on it. And I will suggest to opt Approach 2.
Because, you would be able to harness the powers of FBI over the Columns storing versions and better the performance.
Another approach, I feel, worth trying is to have an MView, that separates the Base number and Max Version Number of the corresponding base number, which would be refreshed on Commit/some other way suitable for your situation.

When trying to watch a movie via apple tv how can you stop it having to download each time and using up all my internet data?

I have bought movies from itunes and now they are on my computer why is it that each time I try to watch the movie it re downloads and uses up all my internet data? How do I prevent this and make it so it just plays from my stored version on my computer hard drive? Please help.

Filter value for variable selection screen

Hi & help !,
This could be a tricky or an easy question, but it seems too hard for me !
I'm storing version in my cube, and have a report which shows informations for the version you select (with a variable = ZVERSION01).
ex : Version :
V01
V02
V03
V04
When report is executed i have my variable selection screen (for variable ZVERSION01) which give all version [V01 -> V04]. But i want users have no access to version V01 & V02.
Variable ZVERSION01 is "single selection", i tried to filter with Default Values screen or Characteristic Restriction screen but it doesn't work.
ex : caracterisitic restriction screen : VERSION = !V01 / !V02
default value screen : variable VERSION = ZVERSION01
Any idea?
Thx

Hi,
In BI 7.0 there is Anaylysis authorisation RSECADMIN transaction. That you can use here or normal role concept will also do.
What you need to do is grant authorisation to the users for V03 and 04 version only and create 'Authorisation' type variable on version in the query. (type of variable - it asks while creating the variable). This way users will only be able to see authorised versions only.
Note you have to make version infoobject as Authorisation relevent infoobject. ( in infoobject properties).
Let me knw if you have any doubt.

Problem with Package State

Hi All,
I have a situation where I have a package I am working on in one schema (say AUX) that has functions being called by a trigger in another schema (say MAIN). Whenever I change and recompile the package the trigger throws the following error:
Error CALL__ACT_FUNC_STP ORA-04068: existing state of packages has been discarded
ORA-04068: existing state of packages (AUX.US.ORACLE.COM) has been discarded
ORA-04061: existing state of package body "AUX.ACTIVITY_NOTIFICATION" has been invalidated
ORA-04065: not executed, altered or dropped package body "AUX.ACTIVITY_NOTIFICATION"
ORA-06512: at "MAIN.ACTION_AFTER_UPD_STATUS", line 63
ORA-04088: error during execution of trigger 'MAIN.ACTION_AFTER_UPD_STATUS'
When I inflict this upon mysef it errors once and then never again until I make another change. When my users experience this it comes from only a handful and then doesnt happen again. BTW, this is Oracle 9 serving a web application hosted by websphere.
Can someone explain why this happens, and more importantly how I can deploy changes without causing this particular speedbump?
Thanks in advance!
Michael

When we execute a package a version of it is stored in the session memory cache. This is how variables set in the package persist between calls. When someone recompiles the package that invalidates our stored version of it. This happens even if the package is SERIALLY_REUSEABLE.
Unfortunately the only way to fix ORA-04068 is to close the session and reconnect. I guess this explains your users' expereinces - I guess you're using some form of connection pooling, so only those users who connect with an existing connection will notice. I don't know the specifics of your set-up but I think you'll need to synchronise a flush of your connection pool with the deployment of your trigger code. I expect that will be difficult in a 24-7 environment but zero downtime is an aspiration not a realistic goal.

Convert Back to OLE Variant

Example VI attached.
I aquire an image from a fingerprint reader, extract the template (digital way of uniquely identifying people), and save the template to disk. Later, I acquire a new image, extract the template, and use the appropriate ActiveX method to compare the template against the stored version. The template is OLE Variant, which cannot be stored to binary file. If I store the Variant as an array of U8's instead, I am able to retrieve the U8's from the file, and convert to LabVIEW Variant. The ActiveX method compares correctly, but sluggishly. Any way to convert back to OLE Variant?
Thank you,

I'd like to focus on saving and retrieving OLE Variant data. The methods used to compare fingerprints (i.e. IdentifyPrepare and Identify in my example) work properly and rely on other settings (threshold and rotation tolerance), so I'd rather not architect my own. (Thank you for your comment, Mike).
Anyone ever successfully "type casted" back to OLE Variant?

Storage space - How to save adjustments and economize on storage need

I am workeing in PSE 8. I would like to know how I best save processed images while economizing on personal storage space requirements. I.E. If I save a version of a 15 GB image does this take 30 GB's of storage for the original plus version? If I save an image as a newly named image what is the impact. I wish to retain a copy of my original RAW file while having access to one or several processed versions. If I save numerous versions of an image do all impose a full (original) atorage space requirement or only a small file that represents a version recipie that relates to the original RAW file? What is the most economical strategy?

To start with, most users want to keep there original files (raw or jpeg). The most economical way of storing version sets applies when you can do all your edits in ACR. Your edits are saved in a tiny .xmp sidecar files, negligible in size. Just clicking 'Done' saves your edits. Clicking 'open' lets you open the file in the editor, from which you can print or save the file in various formats such as jpeg, pdd or tiff. If you only print you don't even need to save anything. If you don't add any edits in the editor, you don't need to save the result : ACR will keep all the previous settings.
Now, if you have to do ulterior edits in the editor, most of the times a jpeg with high quality will be what you want for a quality printing, say 1 to 2 megabytes.
That's not a real problem for size.
If you use a lot of layers and want to keep a record of sophisticated edits, you'll choose psd or tiff formats, which will produce big files. In many cases, you'll choose this procedure until you are satisfied the edits are definitive, and delete those files and only keep jpegs or a flattened psd or tiff.

Lion 10.7 won't boot up on my new mac 10.8.4

I have a new MacBook Pro 10.8.4. I need to boot up from 10.7 (Lion) for a recording job I am doing. The mixing desk I am using will only recognise Mac's which are 10.7 or ealier. I have Lion 10.7 installed on a USB drive but my mac won't recognise it or want to boot from it. Any suggestions?

Hiya. I'm presently waiting on my machine to attempt loading another stab at the installer drive, so I can't verify, but I'm pretty sure when I bought the first generation Intel Mac Pro it was a Dual Duo Core 2.66, which I upgraded about a year back to 8-core. I wondered about there being a difference in the creation of the installer drive made from the Airbook versus the Mac Pro, so loaded Lion Diskmaker 3b3 to Mac Pro and used it to make the installer from the Mac Pro, still no luck at present starting up from it. Again, in Startup Drive prefs, Snow Leopard recognizes it as a startup drive, just doesn't load when restarting from it.
Interesting you idea about there possibly being a difference in the Lion installer downloaded from the Airbook's App Store versus from the Mac Pro, though that relates back to the original (boring) problem. Here goes. I had bought Mountain Lion for the Mac Pro to meet system requirement for newly purchased Foundry product, Mari. (I later learn that my version Mac Pro tops out with 10.7.5, can't even get to Mountain Lion, but that wasn't revealed until this other, yet deeper problem was revealed, my not being able to login to my iTunes, which the system update requires. A much longer and more boring story ended by my learning that a fried Ethernet card was the problem. I knew of this bad Ethernet card, had been using a USB Ethernet adaptor, but when Lion first came out with introduction of the App Store, it was written into the code for the iTunes server to respond to a query by a user's iTunes login to first search for EN0, that being the build in Ethernet, to then establish handshakes around login info and checking what computer was being upgraded to what level, etc. Had this code been written more broadly to simply establish any type of Ethernet connection, e.g. USB or wireless, there'd be no problem, but now you see the catch 22. Having lost my Revovery HD partition vis a vis boring story A, and with no instal disks for Lion, and with no way to login to my App Store account to download my stored version of Lion, I can't try your tack of downloading from the machine being upgraded.
Pretty nuts, eh. Any other thoughts?
Big thanks.
