Unable to archive catalog

Hi,
I have BISE1 10.1.3.2.1... installed.
When I try to archive catalogs with Catalog Manager the "Archive catalog" choice is disabled regardless of which catalog I've selected. I'm logged in as Administrator. Is this feature not available in BISE1? Has the installation failed?
Thanks for your help.
//Mikael

"Archive Catalog" is only available when you are connecting online to a catalog currently being run by a server.
Off-line it doesn't make sense since you're anyways directly accessing the folder structure.
Cheers,
C.

  • Unable to Archive Emails in Mavericks!

    I am unable to archive emails in Mavericks.
    This is what happens:
    1. I am archiving emails in one or all mailboxes and then I switch to a different mailbox in Mail.
    3. Then I switch back again to the previous mailbox and all the emails I tried to archive earlier, appear in the same mailbox (inbox)
    Any sollutions?

    I've posted this question elsewhere (going to close it now) and I fixed it by selecting "Rebuild" from the Mailbox menu. It took a while to complete (see the floating activity window), but once that was done, Archiving worked.
    Oddly it worked for me on some messages but not others, and there was no pattern to which worked (from, to, subject, etc.)
    Try this and let's see if it works for you too.

  • Creating photo archive/catalog

    Using iPhoto 08 on a grant-funded Mac Book Pro to create an archive/catalog of historic photos for a garden conservancy. Probable outputs: to Power Point for presentations and website for display.
    1) How to export "Description" data from iPhoto along with the image, title, and keywords?
    2) Is there more appropriate Mac-compatible software than iPhoto to create archive/catalog records of photos and export the data and images?

    Both iPhoto and Aperture are aimed squarely at Photographers rather than Librarians. The features are designed to help the photographer process the output from a shoot to a usable format, and the databasing is aimed at making photographs easily found. From your description the entire Photographers end is wasted for you. It’s the DB that’s of interest.
    To your specific questions:
    --The sidebar data input area displays in very small font size, which makes it difficult to enter and edit data efficiently. Is there a way to increase (to full-screen size?) both the image and data entry areas when working on an image
    Just like any app on your Mac, you can drag the bottom right hand corner to make the app full screen. No, there is no way to increase the size of the display font.
    As imported, the jpeg file number appears in the Title area. I would like to change the Title to a descriptive one; e.g., "Longthorpe Garden, front entrance," for future display purposes. To preserve the jpeg file number, I've been moving it into the Description area, following general notes about the image. In iPhoto is there a better place to put the jpeg file number? Could that field be sorted upon? Can additional fields (e.g., File Number) be added to the iPhoto file manager structure to customize it? Could that field be sorted upon?
    There’s no need to move the JPEG file number. That’s the *File Name*. It remains the File Name even though you add a title to the photo. You can search - either in the Search box at the bottom of the Window, or by using a Smart Album (File -> New Smart Album) on either the File Name or Title. The sorting options are in the View -> Sort Photos menu. You have more sorting options on more metadata in Aperture.
    --date: for the Conservancy archive the most important date is the date the photo has taken (1927, 1957, etc.). Currently I'm adding this date to the Description field, following general notes about the image, and before the jpeg file number. Is this the best (only) place to put historical date information? Can other fields (e.g., Date of Image) be added to the iPhoto file manager structure to customize it?
    Again, no need to do this. You can edit the date of any photo in the Information Window (click on the ‘i’ lower left) - the date field is perfectly editable.
    I think you need to look at other options. The standard database app on a Mac is FileMaker Pro. A little daunting at first, but it’s not too difficult to create a database structure that meets your specific needs. Other apps that you might look at include MS Expression, Extensis’ Portfolio. There are other options I’m sure: search on MacUpdate

    Did you just recently reactivate the Voyager after some time of inactivation for that particular phone?  Here is some information on the 3332 error, and you may just be out of luck for getting it fixed   There are several threads about this issue.

    http://community.vzw.com/t5/Cell-Phone-General-Devices/Voyager-not-working-after-not-being-used/td-p...
    They key issue is this: (via MikeS - Verizon Employee)
    I understand your issue exactly Robin, and I can provide some insight to your issue as I have dealt with it multiple times in the past. Basically during the period of early fall to 3/25/2011, we notified customers that had BREW (older handsets) phones that they needed to access the Get It Now or Media Center catalog before 3/25/2011. 03/25/2011 was the last day to access the catalog to receive a certificate update. If the Media Center was not accessed during this time, the phone was inactive, or the phone had data blocks on the line, it did not receive the certificate update, and will not be able to access the catalog any longer. We tried to be as proactive as possible during this timeframe alerting customers via bill inserts and text alerts (which would not help you if the phone was deactivated). All other portions of the phone will continue to work normally. You can make and receive calls, text message, picture message, go onto the web, and use all other aspects of the phone. The only thing that will no longer work will be the Media Center/Get It Now catalog on the phone.
    Unfortunately, having the phone flashed with new software will not fix the issue. Once the certificate update period has passed, it will not become available again. In order to access the Media Center again, you would need to take a look at getting into a more recent phone.
    This did not affect all of the older phones. Most customers did get the certificate update just fine and can access the Media Center/Get It Now catalog just fine. It is only those who did not receive a certificate update that will run into this. You can tell if you are affected by this by going into menu>settings & tools> and clicking on "My Account" or "My Verizon." If this loads, but Media Center/ Get It Now catalog will not, you are missing your certificate update and will unfortunately not be able to get it to work on this phone again.
    I know I threw a lot of information out at you, but I hope this answers your question.

  • Error "ARC0: Unable to archive..." during rman backup

    Hello DBA's!
    Problem:
    When ever I make an archivelog backup with rman it generates the following entry into the alertlog:
    Wed Jun 20 21:00:26 2007
    ARCH: Evaluating archive thread 1 sequence 9013

    I use the following RMAN-Script:
    "backup device type disk tag 'BACKUP_AL1' archivelog all not backed up 1 times;"
    The comical thing is when a usual archivlog switch happens it all works fine with no errors or problems.
    The backup also runs with no errors and after searching I found the following entry in Metalink:260040.1, it can't help me because the usual archivelog switch is working fine.
    The environment which I use is an Oracle 10.1.0.4 Database in a Cluster Environment on Windows Server.
    Maybe here is anyone with an idea?

    Thanks for the fast answer.
    I read the metalink entry "Multiple archiver processes FAQ" Note:73163.1 and now I understand why this comment comes.
    The parameter in the database "log_archive_max_processes" is set to 2 (means multiple archive processes).
    I will change paramater back to 1 because the database will handle it by itself if it need more then 1 process.

  • Unable to Open Catalog 'My Catalog'

    Hi. I have just downloaded and installed PSA SE 3.0 under Windows/2K SP4. I have an Administrator and 3 Users defined, one of which has Administrator rights. When I logon as either Administrator or the other authorized user, PSA SE runs just fine. When I logon as either of the other two users (who don't have Administrator rights), and start PSA SE, I get this message: "Unable to open catalog 'My Catalog' because you do not have permission to open it. Please select an action to perform: 1.Open an existing catalog, or 2.Create a new catalog named 'My Catalog-1.psa'" If I select option 1 (Open an existing . . .", I get the same error. If I select option 2 (Create . . .", I get the error: "Unable to create a new catalog. Please reinstall Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0". Of course I can't reinstall it from the "non-Administrator" users. When I log back on as Administrator and check for Photoshop SE updates, it says there aren't any. While on as Administrator I went into PSA SE Properties 'Security' tab and gave 'Read&Execute', 'Read', and 'Write' authority to the the "non-Administrator" users and still got all the same previous errors. What is the problem and what is he solution? Thanks.

    Thanks. Might be making some progress. As I said before I had followed the path suggested by Help > System Information. Had also done amendment to Show Hidden Files, which the database seems to be.
    But have now taken your advice and unticked the box relating to "Hide file extensions for known file types".
    Using Windows Explorer on the old computer I now find that My Catalog folder includes a file named "catalog.pse7db"
    File size is approx 19,500Kb - so this would appear to be the relevant file.
    Have also now followed the Help>System information path on the new computer and the My Catalog folder also contains a file "catalog.pse7db". But file size is only 119Kb - so clearly not the version from the old machine.
    Not sure if this might be relevant but have just noticed a slight difference in the locations indicated by Photoshop
    On old machine this is C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\Catalogs\My Catalog
    On new machine this is C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\Catalogs\My catalog
    Also just noticed that the bottom part of the dialogue box on new computer indicates "Operating System name = Vista Version 6.1"
    Puzzling - as new machine definitely has Windows 7 installed and have never had Vista on either computer.

    Please advice.

    Hi,
    It's an information provided by one of the ARCH process (If you have configured more than one process then during the archiving might other process could not able to get the things to archive the log currently). That might be issue and information is logged in alert log. I think it won't not hurt your database you can monitor further in case of any other information or crutials errors.

  • ARC1: Unable to archive log 2 thread 1 sequence 28344

    Hi
    We have recently faced a situation that "Can not get Database Connection" when user was trying to connect through Informatica Power Analyzer. I also checked a alert.log file.I found following error in log file
    "ARC1: Unable to archive log 2 thread 1 sequence 28344".
    Can you please give me a solution to this because there is no ORA error inside alert.log file.
    Give me exact steps to resolve this if it is applicable to database.
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    RJ.

    Solution :- Archive log may be stuck. Check disk space .
    start it manually with following command
    alter system archivelog start;
    or
    alter system archivlog to '/abac/dir';

  • Unable to Archive-list of contents cannot be created

    Hello all,
    I have a problem that I just noticed. I am attempting to create a .zip archive of a folder of pictures. I right-click the folder in the Finder and select "Create Archive of folder". This gives me a message with the header Copy that states "The archive's list of contents cannot be created." and an OK button.
    At first I thought that maybe the folder was too large. I tried the same steps on an individual text file and got the same error message. I tried copying the file to a different drive and still no joy. I created a new admin and normal user accounts and was unable to create any archives and received the same error message as above.
    Does anyone have any clue as to the steps I should follow to correct this issue?

    Charles, your post certainly pointed in a good direction. After posting my question, I went back and reviewed everything that I had changed or installed over the last few days. It turns out that the beta version of Little Snitch causes permission errors. Similar to the posts on MacOSXHints, my /tmp folder suddenly became visible and showed as being owned by the staff group that I was no longer a part of. Uninstalling the Little Snitch program and repairing permissions has re-enabled archiving within the Finder. I've also posted a bug report to the developers of Little Snitch to see if they could look into the issue.
    Thanks again for the advice.
