Using Metadata bridge to create AW

Oracle documentation says that when creating an analytic workspace "it is good practice to create the AW in a different schema to the relational source....the user will need to be granted the OLAP_DBA and SELECT privileges on the source data tables".
When using the OWB Metadata Bridge to export to Oracle 9i OLAP, entering the username/pwd of the above user fails with "ERROR: dimension_not_found". The Bridge will only export to the schema which contains the relational data, in contradiction of the good practice outlined above.
Is there a way to use the Bridge to export to a different schema to the relational source?

The simple answer is no. I believe the API does not allow to do so...

I need your help with a decision to use iPhoto. I have been a PC user since the mid 1980’s and more recently have used ACDSee to manage my photo images and Photoshop to edit them. I have used ProShow Gold to create slideshows. I am comfortable with my own folder and file naming conventions. I currently have over 23,000 images of which around 60% are scans going back 75 years. Since I keep a copy of the originals, the storage requirements for over 46,000 images is huge. 180GB plus.
I now have a Macbook Pro and will add an iMac when the new models arrive. For my photos, I want to stay with Photoshop which also gives me the Bridge. The only obvious reason to use iPhoto is to take advantage of Faces and the link to iMovie to make slideshows. What am I missing and is using iPhoto worth the effort?
If I choose to use iPhoto, I am not certain whether I need to load the originals and the edited versions. I suspect that just the latter is sufficient. If I set PhotoShop as my external editor, I presume that iPhoto will keep track of all changes moving forward. However, over 23,000 images in iPhoto makes me twitchy and they are appear hidden within iPhoto. In the past, I have experienced syncing problems with, and database errors in, large databases. If I break up the images into a number of projects, I loose the value of Faces reaching back over time.
Some guidance and insight would be appreciated. I have a number of Faces questions which I will save for later.

Bridge and Photoshop is a common file-based management system. (Not sure why you'd have used ACDSEE as well as Bridge.) In any event, it's on the way out. You won't be using it in 5 years time.
Up to this the lack of processing power on your computer left no choice but to organise this way. But file based organisation is as sensible as organising a Shoe Warehouse based on the colour of the boxes. It's also ultimately data-destructive.
Modern systems are Database driven. Files are managed, Images imported, virtual versions, lossless processing and unlimited editing are the way forward.
For a Photographer Photoshop is overkill. It's an enormously powerful app, a staple of the Graphic Designers' trade. A Photographer uses maybe 15% to 20% of its capability.
Apps like iPhoto, Lightroom, Aperture are the way forward - for photographers. There's the 20% of Photoshop that shooters actually use, coupled with management and lossless processing. Pop over to the Aperture or Lightroom forums (on the Adobe site) and one comment shows up over and over again... "Since I started using Aperture/ Lightroom I hardly ever use Photoshop any more..." and if there is a job that these apps can do, then the (much) cheaper Elements will do it.
The change is not easy though, especially if you have a long-standing and well thought out filing system of your own. The first thing I would strongly advise is that you experiment before making any decisions. So I would create a Library, import 300 or 400 shots and play. You might as well do this in iPhoto to begin with - though if you’re a serious hobbyist or a Pro then you'll find yourself looking further afield pretty soon. iPhoto is good for the family snapper, taking shots at birthdays and sharing them with friends and family.
Next: If you're going to successfully use these apps you need to make a leap: Your files are not your Photos.
The illustration I use is as follows: In my iTunes Library I have a file called 'Let_it_Be_The_Beatles.mp3'. So what is that, exactly? It's not the song. The Beatles never wrote an mp3. They wrote a tune and lyrics. They recorded it and a copy of that recording is stored in the mp3 file. So the file is just a container for the recording. That container is designed in a specific way attuned to the characteristics and requirements of the data. Hence, mp3.
Similarly, that Jpeg is not your photo, it's a container designed to hold that kind of data. iPhoto is all about the data and not about the container. So, regardless of where you choose to store the file, iPhoto will manage the photo, edit the photo, add metadata to the Photo but never touch the file. If you choose to export - unless you specifically choose to export the original - iPhoto will export the Photo into a new container - a new file containing the photo.
When you process an image in iPhoto the file is never touched, instead your decisions are recorded in the database. When you view the image then the Master is presented with these decisions applied to it. That's why it's lossless. You can also have multiple versions and waste no disk space because they are all just listings in the database.
These apps replace the Finder (File Browser) for managing your Photos. They become the Go-To app for anything to do with your photos. They replace Bridge too as they become a front-end for Photoshop.
So, want to use a photo for something - Export it. Choose the format, size and quality you want and there it is. If you're emailing, uploading to websites then these apps have a "good enough for most things" version called the Preview - this will be missing some metadata.
So it's a big change from a file-based to Photo-based management, from editing files to processing Photos and it's worth thinking it through before you decide.

Metadata bridge export to Oracle9i OLAP

When I export a collection to Oracle9i OLAP using the Metadata Bridge, not all of the attributes are carried over. For instance, in my TIME dimension, Ihave columns for MONTH_END_DATE, MONTH_SHORT_NAME, MONTH_LONG_NAME, MONTH_TIME_SPAN. When I view the dimension attributes in OEM, the short_description and long_descriptoion fields both show MONTH_LONG_NAME. How do I get the MONTH_SHORT_NAME attribute to register in OLAP? Using OWB Client 9.2.0.3.0

Hi,
Given the naming conventions required by OLAP, and the fact that most dimensions have multiple attributes which cannot all end with the suffix _NAME, is there a plan to update the metadata bridge so that all the required meteadata is created by the bridge?

Using Adobe Bridge and iPhoto together

I use Adobe Bridge (and Photoshop) to work on my photos. iPhoto is not an option since I shoot in Camera RAW. I also own an Apple TV and want to store all of my photos in iPhoto so they are available to the rest of my family via Apple TV. Has anyone figured out a way to do image manipulation first in Bridge & Photoshop and then have them sent (or later updated) in iPhoto in an automated fashion?
Conceptually, every time I add or change a photo in Bridge or Photoshop, I'd like to convert it to JPG, and add or modify the image in iPhoto.

Also make sure PS's File handing preferences "Macimize PSD and PSB File Compatibility" is set to Always and that there are no alpha channels in the file. An alpha channel will cause the black image that you're referring to.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Why I can't do a search in my external hard disk using Adobe Bridge CS6?

When I open Adobe Bridge CS6 and try to do a search within my external hard disk, it will give results from my internal hardisk only?! this is the 1st time I encounterd such strange issue. Because of this I do my search with windows and then browse each result with Bridge! which really annoying.

I solved the problem by going to the search field and clicking on the search icon where it will give a drop list of 3 options, then selecting Bridge Search: Current Folder and that solved my problem. thanks for everyone help

You can do a search of an external drive if the OS permissions are OK. Bridge will not search across different drives however.

Using metadata as variables for datasets

Can i use meta data as a variable in datasets? (i am an event photographer and have a apreadsheet with (racenumber,time,name) . I want to tag my photos using metadata with the race numbers and then have CS5 add text onto my photos by matching the racenumber from the meta data to the spreadsheet is this possible?

I think you're in the wrong forum. This one's for Premiere Pro, the video editing application. You may want to try Photoshop, Bridge or Lightroom, all of which are more suitable for metadata tagging of large numbers of photos.

How can a star based slideshow be split into two using metadata?

I created a slideshow based on a five star sort. It is too long so I want to split it into two, one for Australia and the other for Polynesia.. Images are are titled under Australia and Polynesia in the metadata. how can I use the metadata headings to creat separate slideshows? Thanks.

Hey, thank you for responding.
Perhaps I didn't explain myself correctly. Let me try and walk you though the whole thing.
When I first synced my video, with the better audio we recored separately, left and right are both on A1. When I merge the video with the new audio, and put it back into the timeline, left and right now take up both A1 and A2. This would be totally fine, but my annoyance is simply with the fact that when editing, I have to select them separately… to do anything.
So for instance, at the moment I'm editing a dialogue scene, so of course there are times when I want to have audio from one clip, cross over into another's. Such as when a character's dialogue is heard a few seconds before we see them on screen. I can accomplish this effect with the slide too, or just the selection tool (With "linked selection" off of course), but either way, I have to select and move both audio clips separately, or I have to "shift click" to select them both. It just seems like an extra step I shouldn't have to take ever time I want to change the length of the audio in my timeline.
As I said, I am very new to Premiere Pro, I recently made the switch from Final Cut 7, and when I merged audio and video in that editor, it kept left and right audio linked together. If for some reason you needed to work with left and right separately, you could hit a button to make that happen.
I realize it's a minor complaint, but after editing for an hour last night with this thorn in my side, I thought there must be a solution.

"Invalid Metadata Objects" when creating materialized views

Hi experts,
I have run into some trouble. I had an analytic workspace that grew too fast (see 11.2.0.2 AW size grows steadily with every cube build so I deleted it and created a new one.
It seemed to build fine using the tip that David Greenfield gave us in the mentioned forum post, but when I try to enable materialized views (which I had enabled in the previous workspace) I'm gettig the following error:
Your metadata changes have been saved, with the following errors

I must be missing something big...
Thanks in advance.

P.S.: In the code above I'm using "TABLESPACE" in substitution for the real username and tablespace name (which is the same) for privacy reasons.

When you ran the select statement, were you connected as the same user that you used to try to enable the MVs?
Can you create a standard (non cube) MV with the same select statement? (Connected as the same user you used in AWM.)

By the way, simply adding the quotes around the lexical names in the sql statement doesn't work. That causes the lexical references to be ignored as simple string values:

Please point me to a better way of doing this if possible, as I had to GRANT EXECUTE on this apps package to my custom code schema. Is there a better lexical/flexfields reference than the XML Publisher documentation?
Here is the call I made in my before-report trigger:

Can Bridge CC create a list of files in .txt format ?

hi all,
i'd like to know if i can create a list of files in .txt format using Bridge CC
It could be a good way to verify the integrity of an external database.
thank you all
rafa

hi mark,
this is my situation:
i shoot a great number of items everyday.
So i have a db in excel format with the name of item, the shooting date and other informations about the files.
now, with my batch file, i create a list of file in specific folders (to work, worked, deliverde etc)
in this way i can comparate all files and i can update tha state of working in db file
if bridge could create a list, i can make this comparation faster.
this is the why of my question.
can you help me to create the opportune script in bridge?
sorry for my english

How do I use CS6 Bridge Like Elements Organizer?

I like Elements Oganizer and I was wondering how I can do this with Bridge. Not sure if this is the right place. So I hope some will help me.
Thanks,
Joe.

Also, bear in mind that few users of the full version of Photoshop are familiar with Photoshop Elements or Organizer, so many of us won't even know exactly what you mean.
I have to get back on this, Just recently bought Elements and Premiere for Mac (actually more for fun and possible use for a minor workshop, not for my professional workflow) and only had a short glance at it.
Just glanced at it again (still briefly) but there is a difference that you can't use in Bridge. Organizer has some shortcuts to fix images and creates a new version of the original.
This is not possible in Bridge. Also the Output Module in Bridge has a different approach to the create section in Organizer.
For me Bridge is the right tool and I'm sure "tweetybird" will benefit also after having learned a bit.
Especially the menu tools/Photoshop and the options in there will give better results (and far more control) to 'fix' ( I rather speak of optimize ) files to your satisfaction
But If you still need options from the create section that you will not have in the Output Module there is no objection to use Organizer for this by pointing it to the folder with finished files.
Its just a matter of the right tool for the right job

Is using the keytool to create a certificate safe?

Hi,
I am creating a client server app, and I want to use SSL throughout the whole connection. I am not worried about people not using the client application connecting to the server. So I was wondering if it was sufficient to just use the keytool to create my certificate. I.e. what is below:
> java -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore=mySrvKeystore -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=123456 MyServer
> keytool -keystore mySrvKeystore -keypasswd 123456 -genkey -keyalg RSA -alias mycert However, everywhere I see the keytool mentioned, they say, just use this for testing purposes. I am not suring if they are strictly referring to html type apps, or standalone apps as well (which is what I am developing).
My goal is to ensure that my entire connection, and all transmissions are secure.
thanks!

It is not possible to do this, but this will solve your problem:
Wireless-G Linksys Access Point
Add High-Speed Wireless Access To Your existing Wired Network!
This is not a router, so you are probably allowed to use this. This will bridge your ethernet signal to a wireless signal.
Hopefully this is helpfull or solved your problem.

Workspace in use or cannot be created error

I shut down flex builder 3 and it said unable to save workbench state.
Now when I start it up it always says:
Workspace in use or cannot be created, choose a different one.
Any advice what I should do?

If rebooting does not fix the problem, you will need to find the .lock file in .metadata folder in your workspace and delete it. But that's only if you couldn't find a process locking your workspace.

Use network bridge on Laptop

Hi,
on my Desktop PC I use a bridge to be able to use VMs that are automatically integrated in the network.
I wanted to have the same setup on my laptop to have a as similar as possible environment.
However I failed to do so: I currently use NetworkManager to manage different WiFi Profiles. My first idea was to create a bridge with netctl, attach ethernet and wlan NIC to it and run dhcpcd on it. Then I tried to disable automatic IP (i.e. DHCP) on the network profiles. However I could not get it to work, dhcpcd always reported a timeout.
I think it would be easier and less error prone (some networks might combine wireless authentication and IP allocation, e.g. eduroam?) to have NetworkManager take care of the IP addresses and simply attach an bridge to the device that VMs or containers can attach to. Is this possible somehow?

This will not work properly because I switch networks regularly.
There are two solutions I`ve come up with
1.: Use etables to mask the MAC address for outgoing packets (NAT on OSI Layer 2) as described on the debian wiki
2.: Do normal NAT
I have yet to try those, I will first try to setup etables, this will allow to copy the setup from my desktop PC. If that wont work I use option 2.

IPhoto: Using Adobe Bridge

I am presently using both iPhoto and FCPX. I only use iPhoto store the photos and images I use in albums. If I need to modify them I take them into Photoshop and then save them backin iPhoto. However, I now have about 5,000 images and feel a need to be able to sort them further and do more global commands on them (such as resize). For this, I really miss using Adobe Bridge. Is there a way to use Adobe Bridge with iPhoto?

Thank you. I am beginning to think I need to investigate exactly what and how much iPhoto really does. I didn't know it was this powerful. I will go to the link you gave me.
I think I am feeling overwhelmed with so many images because I need to find a good way to organize them via keyword (which I know iPhoto does - I just don't know how to select by keyword "yet").
I did like the capability in Bridge of selecting a lot of photos together and resizing them to all the same size in one command (via Photoshop).
I really do need a powerful photo manager so I need to understand how much iPhoto can do for me. I see I also have a lot of duplicates now so my initial idea of sorting by photo album name was not a good idea. I need to use keywords instead.
If iPhoto doesn't allow me to resize a batch of photos in one command, for the few times I need to do it, I can always export them into a folder and then do it in Photoshop because I would want to retain the photo in its original size anyway.
Now to the link you gave me . . .
