XMP: UUIDs Criteria

Hi,
I am working on pdf XMP UUID metadata values; there are two types of UUIDs
1.      DocumentId: UUID : - The common identifier for all versions and renditions of a document)
2.      InstanceId: UUID: - An identifier for a specific incarnation of a document, updated each time a file is saved.
Ø DocumentId will never change even you make below changes like below
                       1.      If we make any changes in ‘application metadata’ or
2.      Created a new copy using ‘Save AS…’ option.
3.      Make a forensic copy etc.
Ø InstanceId will change, if we make any above changes except forensic copy.
But we observed for some documents this InstanceId id has not been changed even though application metadata values are different. Could you please let me know why this value was not changed? Is there a way to retain this InstanceId constant through the entire copied/modified documents?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Pavi

You have posted in the wrong forum. This forum is for feature requests. It appears you may be working with a Designer based pdf. If that is the case, please repost in the Designer forum (located within the LiveCycle forums).

How to get XMP MetaData as an XML String in a process?

Hi there,
I have a process where I would like to export a documents XMP MetaData, manipulate the XMP MetaData and then import the MetaData again to the document.
I thougt first I will use the service Name "XMPUtilityService" with the Service Operation "Export XMP" to export the XMP MetaData as a document.
Hoewer I am not sure how to manipulate the output document from the Export XMP service.
When I print out the document.toString() in a execute Script Service I get the following:
<document state="active" senderVersion="0" persistent="false" senderPersistent="false" passivated="false" senderPassivated="false" deserialized="false" senderHostId="null" callbackId="0" senderCallbackId="0" callbackRef="null" isLocalizable="true" isTransactionBound="false" defaultDisposalTimeout="600" disposalTimeout="600" maxInlineSize="65536" defaultMaxInlineSize="65536" inlineSize="3440" contentType="null" length="-1"><cacheId/><localBackendId/><globalBackendId/><senderLocalBackendId/><senderGl obalBackendId/><inline><?xpacket begin="ï»¿" id="W5M0MpCehiHzreSzNTczkc9d"?>
<x:xmpmeta xmlns:x="adobe:ns:meta/" x:xmptk="A...</inline><senderPullServantJndiName/><attributes/></document>
Actually I expected something like this:
<?xpacket begin="" id="W5M0MpCehiHzreSzNTczkc9d"?>
<x:xmpmeta xmlns:x="adobe:ns:meta/" x:xmptk="Adobe XMP Core 5.0-jc006 DEBUG-1.0, 2009 Jun 23 11:07:21-PDT">

What do I need to do to get the XMPMeta data as an XML String from a document within a process?
Thanks in advance!
Paul

Hi,
thanks for the answer.
I know that I can retrieve the XMPUtilityMetadata object, but this object provides only access to a few information suche as creator, subject, producer, etc.
However I would like to retrieve the whole XML String of the XMP Metadata.
How is this possible?
Thanks.
Paul

Bridge freezes - Building Criteria

This problem just began two days ago using Bridge CC. No hardware changes - nothing except accepting whatever CC updates have come up.
I open Bridge, navigate to a folder, and everything seems fine. Click on any other folder, and Bridge locks up with the "Building Criteria" message and arrows spinning ... forever.
Then I try to exit Bridge. Everything seems OK, but it will not restart. Looking at the Task Manager shows Bridge process is still running. End Process and/or End Process Tree in task manager does nothing. A cold start is required to reload Bridge.
Have purged cache and prefs to no avail. Updated video driver.

Thank you for your comments Omke. Realizing none of us are mind readers, my first post in this thread included roughly 200 lines of system info. I can understand why you may not have wanted to read all of it, but the pertinent systems information was included there, including on lines 3 and 4 ...
Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit
Version: 6.1 Service Pack 1
As far as exact actions and file locations, sorry I replied from a mobile device. I should not have replied with partial or "remembered" information.
My first attempt was to hold down the <Alt> key while double clicking the Adobe Bridge CC Icon on the Windows Desktop. That did not resolve the "Building Criteria" message.
My second action was to navigate to C:\Users\Ted\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge CC where I deleted folders entitled Cache, Collections, and Workspaces. That just changed everything but did not resolve the problem ... which I state again:
I open Bridge, navigate to a folder, and everything seems fine. Click on any other folder, and Bridge locks up with the "Building Criteria" message and arrows spinning ... forever.
Then I try to exit Bridge. Everything seems to close OK, but double clicking on the Bridge Icon does not relaunch Bridge. Looking at the Task Manager shows the Bridge process is still running. End Process and/or End Process Tree in the Task Manager does nothing (Bridge apparently is capable of ignoring the End Process command). A cold start is required to reload Bridge
Hopefully this adds clarity to the issue.

Add keyword dropdown to Find when Criteria is Keywords

I would like to simplify using Find to do photo searches based on Keywords. Currently the Keywords must be typed into the Enter Text field. A slow process requiring correct spelling and a separate list of the previously used Keywords.
A list of all previously used Keywords does exist within Bridge. This list can be viewed by selecting a photo, selecting FileInfo and viewing the dropdown to the right of the Keyword text entry box. Selecting keywords from this list enters them into the Keyword text box. Known unused keywords can, of course, be removed from the list by editing the FileInfoLibPrefs.txt file in the XMP folder.
It would be exceedingly useful if this same dropdown was available when the Keywords Criteria was selected in Find. Substantial querries could be created quickly, thus extending Bridges cataloging capability.
If anyone has an idea on how to start the required script building process, I would greatly appreciate your guidance. Perhaps someone has done this already. If this capability will be in the next version of Bridge, I can live until then.
I have only done coding for VBA in Excel. I have no JS scripting experience, so some handholding might be needed.

How about sorting by keyword? I'd also say filter by keyword along with rating and label.

Filter Criteria in Value Help for InfoObject

Hi,
Is it possible to remove the value from Filter Criteria. When I use F4 for a Field (in Screen) , its showing a poup window (Value Help for Info Object) with some personal values. When I click "More Values" option its showing the General Value List, where I can see the Filter Criteria. When I click "Show Filter Criteria", its showing the Criteria with a Value (This value is coming from the field(Screen) from where I am coming). is it possible to avoid of passing value from my screen field to Filter Criteria ?
Thanks

Best way to implement dynamic search criteria

I was recently showing a group of developers some of the Toplink basics. As an example I showed a way to build a Toplink expression for an object search where the search criteria are determined at runtime. Doing this in raw SQL is a bit tricky because you need to place the 'AND' statements between the criteria, but I found a simple method to do this with an expression (or at least I think I did). I simply used and() to add each criteria expression, including the first one. Toplink seemed smart enough to derive the SQL without the additional AND statement.
My question to the Forum is, is this the best way to build the expression and is it flawed? Here is my code snippet and the generated SQL.
public Expression createExpression(ExpressionBuilder builder, Object[] parameters) {
// Build expression for a Dealer Search
String name = (String)parameters[0];
String location = (String)parameters[1];
String email = (String)parameters[2];
Expression searchExpression = builder;
// NAME = 'name'
if (name != null) {
searchExpression =
searchExpression.and(builder.get("name").equal(name));
// LOCATION = 'location'
if (location != null) {
searchExpression =
searchExpression.and(builder.get("location").equal(location));
// EMAIL = 'email
if (email != null) {
searchExpression =
searchExpression.and(builder.get("contactInfo").get("email").equal(email));
return searchExpression;
Toplink generated SQL with location="Mt. Prospect, IL", email=null, and name=null:
SELECT VERSION, LOCATION, ID, NAME FROM DEALER WHERE (LOCATION = 'Mt. Prospect, IL')
Thanks.

All JPA strategies require something (like a table or sequence object) be in the database, with table sequencing being the most portable, though EclipseLink does allow custom sequence stratgies where you could use something else, such as the UUID. Sequencing is described here described here http://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseLink/Examples/JPA/PrimaryKey with a custom UUID example shown here http://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseLink/Examples/JPA/CustomSequencing .

Dynamic Selection Criteria in FBL3N

Hi Experts,
In FBL3N, the user would like an output on the basis of trading partner on a document level. In the Dynamic selection button, Trading partner field selection criteria is inside GL A/C Master Record level/folder.
My question are:
1. is it ok/logical to add Trading partner field under Document level folder even if it already exist in GL a/c master record level folder?
2.or do i have to remove the trading partner field in GL A/C master data before i add the field in Document Folder?
3. how do i remove and add new field in the dynamic selection screen
Thank you in advance for your inputs.

Hi,
This might give you an answer.

New search criteria for old (standard) node?

Is it possible to create script, which adds new search criteria for old (standard) node?
CustomSearchExtensionHandler.jsx gives example of custom search criteria for custom node. But it is not clear for me, how to add new search criteria over standard XMP fields.

Hi,
First you create your own table (with fields like Vendor No and Name), in which you wants to store your Value range for that Vendor and fill this table with all the values for that vendor(your own set of values).
Using this table create an Elementary search Help from SE11 and you can use that search help for the Vendor field where ever you use.
This works fine.

XMP Metadata Identification Help

To all-
Is this XMP value unique to a particular image, software or camera? Is there a way to decode the value or do any sort of analysis on the information contained within?
Im in the middle of an important investigation and part of it hinges on a few digital images, one of which contains this XMP value.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Pete
<xmpMM:DocumentID>D52DE6F30C1A06802AA60C922D2CCE18</xmpMM:DocumentID>
<xmpMM:InstanceID>D52DE6F30C1A06802AA60C922D2CCE18</xmpMM:InstanceID>

The simple answer, there is no requirement on how this unque value is created. You might be able to extract some information, but depends upon the "scheme" by which it was created.
Reading the XMP specification you will find the following...
An ID should be a GUID/UUID-style ID, which is a large integer that is guaranteed to be globally unique (in practical terms, the probability of a collision is so remote as to be effectively impossible). Typically 128- or 144-bit integers are used, encoded as 22 or 24 base- 64 characters.
XMP does not require any specific scheme for generating the unique number. There are various common schemes available for that purpose, such as:
Using physical information such as a local Ethernet address and a high resolution clock. NOTE: When creating a unique ID, applications must consider tradeoffs between privacy and the desire to create an audit trail. Adobe applications favor privacy and do not include Ethernet addresses.
Using a variety of locally unique and random data, then computing an MD5 hash value. This avoids privacy concerns about the use of Ethernet addresses. It also allows for regeneration of the ID in some cases; for example if the MD5 hash is computed using the image contents for a resource that is a digital photograph.

Bug - Equals operator does work with Boolean, UUID and EUID

Dear sirs,
The ACS API has a serious bug that does not allow us search using the equals operator when the column type is Boolean, UUID or EUID. It is a serious API inconsistency, once the result returns empty even when you have records matching the criteria. A workaround is to use the "Contains" operator, but it's dangerous and may bring some unexpected results.
This problems seems to be caused by the com.adobe.adept.util.PredicateUtil, line 177, due the lack of use of the method "SQLTextUtil.getSearchableFieldExpression" that makes the "Contains", "StartsWith" and "EndsWith" work for the previously cited cases.
Do you know whether there is any prevision to fix this bug?
Thanks in advance,
Marcos

It must be a bug- I tried it on UCCX 7.0(1)SR03 and it's working there.

XMP Media Management schema is incomplete?

When I use Bridge CS3 to perform a batch rename of camera raw files (and associated .xmp sidecar files), and check the option to save the "preserved filename" in the metadata, Bridge writes an RDF string into the sidecar file as follows: <rdf:Description rdf:about="" xmlns:xapMM="http://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/mm/"> <xapMM:PreservedFileName>MJH_20090131.NEF</xapMM:PreservedFileName> </rdf:Description> So the prefix is "xapMM", the property is "PreservedFileName", and the schema is "http://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/mm/". However, p.32 in Chapter 2 of the XMP Specification Part 2 (v4.4.2 of the XMP Toolkit SDK) describes the XMP Media Management schema as follows: the schema is same as above but the preferred prefix is now "xmpMM". OK, no big deal: I don't think the prefix matters that much. The problem is that the "PreservedFilename" property is not listed anywhere in that section. Yes, it's possible to use the XMP Toolkit to extend a standard schema, but is the PreservedFileName part of the XMP Media Management schema, or not? Is the omission of the xmpMM::PreservedFileName property from the XMP Spec deliberate or accidental? If the omission is deliberate, then does Adobe intend for XMP Toolkit users to extend that namespace in order to write it to an XMP file, or does Adobe not intend for users to use that property at all (say, because it's an internal property that only Adobe authoring tools should use). Thanks, Matt

Hello Roger,
I think you might be right about that. For the xmpMM::InstanceID the table on p. 32 says
>"An identifier for a specific incarnation of a document, updated each time a file is saved. It should be based on a UUID; see Document and instance IDs below."
Both the xmpMM::DocumentID and xmpMM::InstanceID have the URI value type, but I wasn't sure whether DocumentID was an actual GUID too. The description in the table doesn't say that explicitly (as it does for the InstanceID), but the text that follows the table does say that:
>"An ID should be guaranteed to be globally unique (in practical terms, this means that the probability of a collision is so remote as to be effectively impossible). Typically 128- or 144-bit numbers are used, encoded as hexadecimal strings."
That would confirm what you said.

Criteria for building Aggregates

Hi Friends
I need to build aggregates on the top 10 worst performing queries according to this criteria..
1. No. of navigation .
2. DB Time > OLAP Time.
3. Ratio of selected records from DB to transferred Records.
I have found out already 10 queries.
But I need to know that whether these queries are already using these aggregates or aggregate are already built for these queries.
Could you please tell me the procedure how to proceed furthur.
Thanks

Hi,
There are a few SAP notes on the same which discuss this in detail.
Note 356732 - Performance Tuning for Queries with Aggregates
Note 166433 - Options for finding aggregates (find optimal aggregates for an InfoCube)
Note 202469 - Using aggregate check tool
Note 646402 - Programs for checking aggregates (as of BW 3.0B SP15)

Creating XMP data from HTML page

I have a very large number of images that are linked from websites in the form:
<a href="images/filename.jpg">Image caption.</a>
I would like to be able to use a script to batch process my files that will collect the text between the
<a ....> and
</a> tags, then insert that text into the jpg specified in the hyperlink as an XMP description.
Suggestions?

Andrew, 1. If you want to append these data to the existent one, you've to read the XMP of the file. 2. You've to add or modify the Dublin Core Description field <dc:description> For example: <rdf:Description rdf:about='uuid:d659be9a-21d7-11d9-9b6a-c1fd593acb83' xmlns:dc='http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/'> <dc:format>image/jpeg</dc:format> <dc:description> <rdf:Alt> <rdf:li xml:lang='x-default'>Image Caption</rdf:li> </rdf:Alt> </dc:description> </rdf:Description> 3. You've to replace the app1 block on the JPG with the new XMP Regards, Juan Pablo

Selection screen criteria for queires
