Which options for moving a lightroom Catalog??

Hi all,
I am in the process of merging two catalogs and getting very lost while I do it. First I'll let you know what I've done.
I exported the catalog I no longer want as a temporary catalog in my pictures library. Now, I'm trying to import that catalog into my main catalog.
Both of these catalogs are on one main internal hardrive on my desktop.
Here are my questions.
1) Which option should I choose for New Photos - File handling. A)Add new photos without moving B) Copy new photos to a new location and import or C) Dont import new photos.
I was thinking of doing B and then choosing my other lightroom folder as my copy destination since I want to have all my files together (in one folder/catalog). Is this the correct way?
2) Which option for Existing photos (there is some overlap)? I can A) replace nothing B)replace metadata and develop settings C)replace metadata, develop settings and negative files. I dont want any duplicates however many over the photos I am bringing from the unwanted catalog have been edited so I want these edits to come over. Which option should I choose?
3) What is the virtual copy for and should I select it?

Yep, that's exactly right Ray. You can set which word label is represented by which colour.
For example, here's 2 of the sets that are built in, and you can create your own sets by going to Metadata menu > Color Label Set > Edit.
If the label 'words' don't match a color label in the current set, you get a white custom label instead.
Look back on the PC and see what colors match which words, and repeat the same on the iMac.

Which option for sending mails

hi,
I am working on DMS workflow,
i have to send a mail for quality check person depending on plant. i dont have to assign the person id directly in the user option for agents.
how this can be done?
if its to use another option like role/oraganizational unit..etc..
on wat basi they have to created ?
Raghu

Hi Raghu ,
If this is the case , then your problem cant be solved by Role or Organization Unit .
For this you will have to go for Rule Creation .
In this rule you check what is the plant or QI and depending upon this , append the name of the person in the Actor_tasb internal table .
IF you want to see how to code a rule , open 20000027 in transaction PFAC

Options for moving data

I'm moving some rather large tables between two Oracle 10 instances.
In simple words I would like to copy a schema from one database to another. Simple, you say? Not so!
I cannot use Oracle data pump on the target host as I lack the required privileges (Oracle Data Pump is essentially a server side tool unlike the old 'imp' and 'exp' tools which are client-side tools).
The first option I try is good old-fashioned exp and imp. The export is pretty fast. Only 1 hour. Then comes the import which is painfully slow (we are talking an estimated 2-3 days). The reason is that Oracle is doing a commit per row because the tables contains TIMESTAMP columns. I'm wondering what is so special about TIMESTAMP columns that it forces Oracle not to use array inserts?? Anyway the restriction is fully documented by Oracle.
(Utilities Guide for Oracle 10.2 database, see description on import parameter BUFFER).
The tables I'm loading into have no indexes and there are no indexes as part of the dump file. Furthermore the target tables have been pre-allocated in size so they do not need to extend as part of the import. Lastly logging is turned off on these tables. So all should be in place for fast 'imp' performance. However not so because of the TIMESTAMP restriction. Hmmm.
Then I try other options. How about the COPY command in SQL*Plus. With this you can control the frequency of the commit. Unfortunately the COPY command only works on tables with colums of type CHAR, DATE, LONG, NUMBER and VARCHAR2. In other words: I cannot use this solution either.
What are my options? I simply want to move data from one Oracle 10 to another with reasonable performance. All together we are talking about 5-6 Gb data. Not a lot by modern standards. Why is it so difficult? Am I overlooking something obvious?
Thanks.

Thank you for responding.
I've considered dumping the data into a flat file and using SQL*Loader to import as you suggest but this would require some scripting on a per-table basis. Again: all I want to do is to copy the contents of a table from one database to another. I do not think I should have to resort to creating my own dump and load scripts in order to do that. However I agree with you that this type of solution may be my final solution.
I've tried the db link solution. It was just a slow as the 'imp' solution for some reason. Don't know why. The tables are rather large (3 tables of a few Gb each) and therefore require intermediate commits when loaded. Otherwise the rollback segment will run out of space. So the 'db link solution' is really a PL/SQL script with a commit for each x records.
I think Oracle is making it a bit difficult for me to copy the contents of a table from one database to another and to do it efficiently. Perhaps I'm missing something here?

What are the options for integrating the event catalog and event landing pages in our website?

We'd like to integrate the event catalog and event landing pages into our website but would prefer not to use the standard iframe embed code. Are there other solutions available, like an API or something else?
Reason for this is that when we tried it with the iframe embed code the event catalog seems to load quite slow in a webpage on our website. Plus it seems we can't change the width and height of the event catalog with the CQ5 editor, or have the event catalog embed dynamically change in size depending on the amount of events in the catalog.

Keeping everything in one scene is the better way to go. Scenes are useful for animators who do not use navigation, they just make movies that play frame after frame without stopping. But for anything that involves navigating the timeline you will have less headaches if you just avoid them and keep everything in the one main timeline.
There are primarily two approaches to implementing pages in a timeline. Either spread them out along the timeline and navigate from frame to frame to access them, or create them as movieclips (all in the same frame) and manage their visibility. The latter approach makes it easier to maintain the status of a one page if navigating to another is necessary. And you might find it useful to mix these two approaches at times.
When you have everything on one timeline, you can have a layer dedicated to actionscript that you extend the full length of the timeline, which makes shareable code, such as variables and functions, available to anything along the timeline. This avoids any need to have duplicate function definitions since you can have the same single function available to multiple pages in the site. I usually use two actions layers... one for the shared stuff which has all code in frame 1 only, and another for frame specific code such as timeline commands and other action coding that needs to happen at particular frames.

Importing into lightroom catalog on a mac

I just moved my lightroom catalog on an external drive to a mac from a pc. I got the entire catalog moved with no issues or problems except for this. When I try to import new photos i get a message saying that the file cannont be read and that the files were not imported. Has anyone else run into this issue while using a mac? Thanks for any help

How did you format the external drive? It needs to be FAT32 if you want it to be able to be read and written by both PC and Mac. Sometimes when LR says "cannot be read" it also or instead means "cannot be written".

Options for Migrating/Renaming an OpenDirectory Server

I'm relatively new to OD, although I am a long time administrator of AD and Unix.
I've been configuring some environments with Mavericks 3.1.2 server running OD and Mavericks clients.
I'm curious about what the strategy is for renaming an OD domain/realm.
Say I initially install on serverA.domain.com.
Is it supported to rename to serverB.domain.com?
What if I need to rename the entire domain ServerA.newdomain.com?
I've had limited success with testing all things OD related, the documentation is so mixed with prior versions that it is very difficult to determine what is actually supported or proper procedure.
It seems that when you instantiate your OD and it creates your certificate authority that root authority is bound to your server name. Additionally, a restore of an archived OD will only restore to the original server name.
While you could always of course build at least a temporary server with the original name, there may be other integration considerations that would prohibit you from maintaining that name.
Are there any options for moving from one host/domain name to another so that all standard authentication functions (i.e kerberos) will continue to work?
I appreciate any guidance or reference to good resources that would cover this in detail. The more technical and comprehensive the better.
Thank you.

We have tried this but are unable to log in to the v11 planning app after copying the 9.x schema. updatuserd.cmd fails with a comment in the log about v9/v11 version mismatch.
In v9, our users are via an LDAP server and in v11, they will be via AD so the users can't possibly match anyway.
We are wondering how it is possible to migreate our v9 Planning apps to v11 now ...

We need to upgrade your catalog for use with Lightroom 6.

Adobe CC member. Downloaded new LR CC. Shows as installed in Adobe creative cloud. Wouldn't run at first, but logged out and back in. Now upon launch I get a dialogue box named Lightroom Catalog Upgrade, asking to click to upgrade my catalog, but this freezes with an unending blue circle and the program never launches. I have tried deleting and reloading the entire program. I still have LR 5 on my machine. Is this normal? I thought CC replaced 5. Help appreciated.

To 3110,
I am facing a similar situation here. The description that you posted matches my requirement more or less.
So... which option did u choose? And any suggestions on how to go about it for people who are implementing a similar architecture?
Cheers,

hello everyone. I have recently installed a Samsung SSD (solid state hard drive) into my destop PC. For some reason Lightroom does not see it ? So i cannot ingest photos from it, or copy photos from a card to it. It is not listed as a drive option. LR sees every other drive. My computer sees it fine, so i was able to create a catalogue there. Im running windows 8.1. Any ideas ? I will also add that this drive became corrupt and was repaired by Samsung. Maybe they didn't do a very good job.. ..

Yes pretty much that, but to clarify sorry
Opened Lightroom.
Create new catalogue.
This opened the Windows 8 file explorer window and Windows recognises the drive. So I was able to create a catalogue there and save.
I then inserted my memory card into my card reader which LR recognised. I selected it, chose all the photos within and then navigated to the right side of the Lr import dialogue window to locate this problem drive as on this occasion i want the RAW files on the same drive as the lrcat. However all my other drives are listed but not this Samsung SSD.
In addition this Samsung SSD is not listed a drive to import from in the same dialogue window.

Can anyone recommend a process for moving just my OS and Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom to the SSD?

I have an early 2011 MBP running Mountain Lion. I just removed the superdrive and added an SSD. I want to use it to boot from and also run Photoshop and Lightroom from. Can anyone recommend a process for moving my OS and those programs to the SSD?

I'm assuming your doing this because of data you don't want pernament on the SSD as they can' be scrubbed like hard drives can.
Disconnect any other drives.
1: Format the SSD 1 partition, click the box, option GUID and OS X extended journaled as the format.
2: Download Carbon Copy Cloner.
3: Clone your MacintoshHD partition to a blank powered external drive also formatted the same as above.
4: Hold option/alt key and boot the machine (wired or built in keyboard) and then select the clone to boot from,
5: Once in the clone, click it's drive name and change the name if it's the same as the OS X boot volume.
6: On the clone, head to System Preferences > Accounts and create a new Admin account.
7: If you need to move files between accounts on the clone, see this. Combine two+ Users Accounts on the same machine (be careful that your selecting the correct clones other account)
8: Once your moving files on the clone is complete, then log into the new user account and delete the old user account.
9: Use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the clone to the SSD.
10: Use Disk Utiltiy to repair permissions on all drives.
The SSD should be moved to the HD slot and the HD to the optical slot and used as a file drive.
CCC has a option to not include certain folders like the other user account you don't want, however I tend not to recommend things that are not too far out of line with Apple's ways of doing things as it usually results in bad things occuring. Somewhere in OS X it's recorded of that other user account, so it might still show up in logins and such.
Also you may want to transfer some files to the other account, so that's why I recommend this method.
Good Luck

I am testing a Sony a7r, shooting RAW. I can't seem to import the files (which are .awr) into my Lightroom 4. Anybody know what options I have? Thanks!

Support was added by Adobe for this camera model in LR 5.3 and ACR 8.3. see the link below.
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
You can download the latest trial version of LR 5 the current version is 5.7.1 and use tor 30 days.
The other option is to download the latest Adobe DNG Converter (version 8.7.1) for free and convert the Sony .arw files to dng format and they will work fine with LR 4.
Make sure you retain the original copies of the .arw files.

Why don't I see an option for lightroom?

Why don't I see an option for lightroom? I have downloaded creative cloud and have photoshop option, but I don't see LR, which I expected to install.
Thanks!

Hi Peggyh,
If you're a paying Creative Cloud member, you may not see Lightroom in the Creative Cloud if your computer doesn't meet the minimum system requirements. Check to make sure that your system meets the http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/system-requirements-lightroom.html
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html may also work.
Let me know if it helps.
Thanks!

Shortcut for moving between Panels on Modal Dialog boxes eg: Cell Options (OS X)

Is there an existing shortcut for moving between the tabs of modal dialog boxes. For example Cmd+Opt+'B' brings up Cell Options dialog but that is actually the shortcut for the "Text" Panel how can I navigate (using keyboard keys) to the other Panels {"Strokes and Fills", "Rows and Columns", "Diagonal Lines"}.
Note:
I realise I can create shortcuts for the Table…> Cell Options…> Diagonal Lines items but these shortcuts will not work in the context of the Cell Options Modal Dialogue box.

Hey Thanks.
For those who come looking b/s they had the same question:
As a bonus once one of these key sequences is pressed the tab heading area comes into focus so the arrow keys work for navigating tabs. So even for long list of Paragraph Style tabs which number greater than 10 still easy to navigate to them eleventh to someteenth ones.

MOVED: Overclocking options for the RS480M2-IL?

This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
Overclocking options for the RS480M2-IL?

Thanks for the reply. That is disappointing.
There are a couple other micro-ATX board I've seen on the market. First is the WinFast/FoxConn CK804K8MA-KS, which can be found for the same price or less. But this is a really basic nForce4 (non-Ultra) board. And because it's a non-Ultra, the HyperTransport links are only 800MHz (1600MHz bus). Even if it has overclocking options, I wouldn't want to get it because of the weak HT link. Everything else for S939 is 1000MHz (2000MHz bus) HT. I'd have to overclock just to match the performance anyway. And it doesn't have any of the features that make the nForce4 Ultra great like SATAII, hardware firewall (it doesn't even use the nVidia gigabit LAN, but rather some Realtek solution), and so on. It's just a cheap board. That's why I was hoping the MSI might fit better.
The other board is a WinFast/FoxConn NF3UK8MA. It's an nForce3 Ultra S939 micro-ATX motherboard and seems like it could be nice, but I'm trying to get a PCI Express board. But it'd probably make for an ideal AGP solution. And it's HT1000MHz/FSB2000. The downside is, I don't know where you can buy this one separately. So far, I've seen it only listed on Monarch Computer System's Hornet builder webpage. They also had a listing for a WinFast/FoxConn NF4UK8MA board would would have been ideal, but now they only have the cheap CK804K8MA-KS.
I sure hope MSI adds some functionality to the BIOS or adds compatibility for CoreCenter. The RS480 chipset is supposed to be a killer overclocker and that combined with a 90nm Athlon64 would just scream. If I find anything, I'll let you know as well. Thanks for the reply.

Open Pictures folder and move the files named lrcat-journal and lrcat.lock to Desktop.
Make sure that , they are not inside Pictures folder any more and try to open backup from Lighrtroom and check..
Any LRcat file with .lock extension , move it to Desktop.

Which CKM is used for moving data from Oracle to delimited file ?

Hi All
Please let me know Which CKM is used for moving data from Oracle to delimited file ?
Also is there need of defining each columns before hand in target datastore. Cant ODI take it from the oracle table itself ?

Addy,
A CKM is a Check KM which is used to validate data and log errors. It is not going to assist you in data movement. You will need an LKM SQL to File append as answered in another thread.
Assuming that you have a one to one mapping, to make things simpler you can duplicate the Oracle based model and create a file based model. This will take all the column definitions from the Oracle based model.
Alternatively, you can also use an ODI tool odiSQLUnload to dump the data to a file
