Erwin Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 Hi there, I was using Daminion Standalone and my catalog exceeded 35,000 items. The following message appeared: "Your catalog is greatly increased. Local catalog lose performance and efficiency after significant growth. We RECOMMEND you switch to Daminion Server" So I installed Daminion Server and imported the local catalog. Now ALL linking and grouping connections are lost. These were NOT adopted. Is this only in the 6.8.0.2344 version I am using? greetings Erwin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daria Kotilainen Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 Hi Erwin, Do you still have your local catalog? This seems to be a bug. My colleague Kate will take a look into it. My apologies for the inconveniences! Daria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted January 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 Hi Daria, Yes, I still have my local catalog. I noticed the error immediately and didn't work on the web catalog any further. Should i go back to an older version or wait for the next version? greetings Erwin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daria Kotilainen Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 Hi Erwin, We have registered this issue, but, unfortunately, I cannot tell you when it will be fixed. Having 35000 files, you can stay pon your Daminion standalone version. Have you purchased the Daminion server, or have you installed the trial version? Kind regards, Daria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uwe Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 Hello, as far as I can remember, links and groups have not been in the scope of importing a local into the shared catalogue. Whenever I have worked with local catalogues, I have done the links and groups after the import in the shared catalogue. Of course, I would also like all the settings to be transferred from the local catalogue. In order to be prepared for the case that I have to set up a new catalogue and a restore does not work, I had written two small Python programs that export all the links to a CSV file (runs in the daily backup) in order to import them into the new catalogue in case of need. Greetings, Uwe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted January 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 Hi there, @Uwe: you should post that in the Daminion standalone forum area as a warning. @Daria: bought. I'll stick with the server version too, as the imported catalog is MUCH faster than the standalone one. And I'm only at ~50% of my photos. @Daminion: Catalogs naturally get bigger and bigger. That is the point. Recommend a change and forget the disadvantages, I don't think that's OK. I think it would be appropriate to work on it immediately or to point out when PURCHASING that the standalone version HAS LIMITS and a COMPLETE TRANSFER is NOT POSSIBLE afterwards. a very angry one Erwin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daria Kotilainen Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 Hi Erwin, We've registered this bug with linking and grouping. My sincere apologies for the inconvenieces! Please check also your DM Daria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted January 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2021 Hi, I used Uwe's python scripts. With these you can bring the linking connections from the local catalog to the server catalog. These scripts are for the links only You then have to do the grouping connectionss again in the server catalog. Thanks to Uwe for the scripts. greetings Erwin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilfriedB Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 15 hours ago, Erwin said: You then have to do the grouping connectionss again in the server catalog. Not only that. As far as I know, the migration process relies on the metadata embedded with image files. There are some other tags, for example Comments, which are not written to the metadata. Another fact to remember: If you created custom tags in you standalone catalog, you should create them in the server catalog, before importing the media items.

Daria Kotilainen Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 Hi Wilfried, In a case of the custom tags, Daminion suggests you creating them automatically when you attempt to import your local catalog into the shared catalog Kind regards Daria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
