- Multiple simultaneous conversions enable large-scale virtualization implementations.
- Quiescing and snapshotting of the guest operating system on the source machine before migrating the data ensures conversion reliability.
- Hot cloning makes conversions non-disruptive, with no source server downtime or reboot.
- Sector-based copying enhances cloning and conversion speed.
vCenter Converter supports many source physical machines, including Windows and Linux desktop and server editions. It also supports conversion of third-party virtual machines like Hyper-V and Amazon EC2 instances.
- Centralized management console allows users to queue up and monitor multiple simultaneous remote, as well as local, conversions.
- Easy-to-use wizards minimize the number of steps to conversion.
- Support for both local and remote cloning enables conversions in remote locations such as branch offices.
I'm attempting to use VMware Standalone Converter version 6.11 (current version, installed very recently) to create a backup of an existing VMed Windows machine on a remote VMware hypervisor. However as soon as I give VMware Converter the source machine IP and login, it throws this error:
A general system error occurred: Not supported version: Unsupported version URI "urn:converter/7.0" while parsing SOAP body at line 6, column 0 while parsing SOAP envelope at line 2, column 0 while parsing HTTP request before method was determined at line 1, column 0.
Googling has left me none the wiser about what could be causing this, it appears to be a version mismatch of some kind but as I'm running an up to date version of Converter I'm not sure what is objecting to what?
Not sure if relevant, but if I attempt to connect to the hypervisor running the VM in question from the same Windows 10 laptop the Vsphere client installer it wants to download throws an error about "This can only be installed on Win XP SP2 or above" (it's V5). I'm wondering if there are support files that are needed from Vsphere before Converter will connect? And if so is there any way to persuade it that yes, Windows 10 is a version above XP SP2? Just a guess though.
Edit: I tried installing Vsphere from the hypervisor, and Converter, on a Windows 2003 machine on the same network. Vsphere accepted that as being "XP SP2 or above" and installed correctly and connects to the hypervisor quite happily. However Converter throws exactly the same error when given the login credentials of the VM I want to copy.
Is it possible that an older version of the converter or its agent is installed inside the VM? If yes, uninstall it. The VMware Converter installs its own agent automatically if you connect to the machine with administrator credentials.
But if you prefer converter approach I would strongly recommend you using a 3rd party V2V converter by StarWind instead of VMwares. It's free and helped me a lot of times working with all the most commonly used VM formats: VMDK, VHD/VHDX, StarWind native IMG, QCOW. It works both ways, converting from and to any selected format, thus having better functionality than similar converters.
Adobe, in their infinite wisdom, have removed all previous versions and despite getting in touch with their labourious online chat system their standard reply is 'update to the latest Mac OS'...something I can't do currently - and knowing they do exist would rather not shell out for a whole new machine just to overcome this very simple problem...(Feels very much like pulling LR6 support 'update your computer' seems a standard reply, which is utterly ridiculous).
thanks, yes I did find this via a quick google and there are a few there. although I can't find any mention of compatibility or changelogs that go with any versions listed anywhere (if they are listed!)
How do you connect to that? I'm trying to find the previous dng converter version and came upon this link, but that ftp is user/pass locked. Is there somewhere to get previous versions of dng converter? I'm not talking years old...like a few versions back. Thanks
The Adobe DNG Converter enables you to easily convert camera-specific raw files from supported cameras to a more universal DNG raw file. Another benefit of using the DNG Converter is backward compatibility.
The DNG Converter is now available in your Programs (Windows) or Applications (macOS) directory. The installation utility is designed to also install a set of color profiles required for the DNG Converter to function properly. These profiles are copied to a common resource location.
A raw file contains the "raw" data captured by the digital camera sensor before it has been converted to JPEG or TIFF formats. Cameras that create JPEG or TIFF files process (and in the case of JPEG files, compress) the sensor data. When working with raw files, the file is not compressed or processed in the camera. Instead, software gives the user complete control over the conversion settings. For example, white balance is not applied to the raw file but is stored with the file so the software can default to the originally-intended setting. Other information contained in a DNG file includes standard EXIF metadata (just like in JPEG files), date, time, camera used, and camera settings.
Digital Negative (DNG) is an openly published raw file specification that stores the "raw" pixel data captured by the digital camera sensor before it has been converted to JPEG or TIFF formats, along with standard EXIF metadata, date, time, camera used, and camera settings. This format is freely available for other software and hardware vendors to support.
Unlike most manufacturer-specific raw formats, the Digital Negative is an openly published specification that not only is supported by Adobe, but is also freely available for other software and hardware vendors to support. Consequently, it can be a safer file format to use for long-term archival purposes. Archiving your file as a digital negative eliminates worries that the raw file will no longer be readable once the camera format that created it becomes obsolete.
The Digital Negative specification allows for not only all of the pixel information stored in current raw formats, but also for all of the additional, proprietary metadata that many manufacturers include. The Adobe DNG Converter may, in some cases, ignore some of this proprietary metadata, and only include the basic information necessary for creating a high-quality image file. The original raw file, however, can also be embedded in the new DNG format to ensure that proprietary metadata from the manufacturer is not lost.
It is already in LabVIEW: File->Save For Previous. This works for LabVIEW 8.0 and newer. I see no reason NI should invest time in make a down convert tool to take new code and put it in a really old version of LabVIEW.
patibandla: What would you expect that tool to do that LabVIEW does not already do? Convert up happens on load. Convert down happens with Save For Previous. What functionality do you believe is missing?
If, for example, you have a LV2012 vi but only have LV2009 available on your machine, you can't down convert. You have to go to the VI conversion board in the forum and ask for someone with LV2012 to save to previous for you. This tool would let you get the LV2009 file without needing LV2012.
Verywiseguy: it is correct what you are saying.some of users they will download code from the NI web,but they are not able to open because they are having older version of LabVIEW installed in their PC.
AristosQueue: for converting the code 6.1 to 2010 , I faced a lot of issues, compatability , and Functions missing issues. if NI provides this tool based on the NI installed softwares , LabVIEW can easily find and convert the VIs(incase of doing Manually).
I saw in Forums, some people requesting 2013 to 6.1 version.In this case we have to do two tair convertion. it is difficult to install 8.6 vertion and 2013 version in the same PC. because of Driver compatability issues.
LabVIEW already does everything that we know how to do automatically. I do not know what issues you faced, but we take a great deal of time with every upgrade to put as many smarts into LV as we know how to do to maintain that compatibility. The tool you're asking for for *upgrades* already exists... it is LabVIEW.
ImageMagick is widely used in industries such as web development, graphic design, and video editing, as well as in scientific research, medical imaging, and astronomy. Its versatile and customizable nature, along with its robust image processing capabilities, make it a popular choice for a wide range of image-related tasks.
ImageMagick includes a command-line interface for executing complex image processing tasks, as well as APIs for integrating its features into software applications. It is written in C and can be used on a variety of operating systems, including Linux, Windows, and macOS.
The main website for ImageMagick can be found at The most recent version available is ImageMagick 7.1.1-34. The source code for this software can be accessed through a repository. In addition, we maintain a legacy version of ImageMagick, version 6.
Creating a security policy that fits your specific local environment before making use of ImageMagick is highly advised. You can find guidance on setting up this policy. Also, it's important to verify your policy using the validation tool.
One of the key features of ImageMagick is its support for scripting and automation. This allows users to create complex image manipulation pipelines that can be run automatically, without the need for manual intervention. This can be especially useful for tasks that require the processing of large numbers of images, or for tasks that need to be performed on a regular basis.
In addition to its core image manipulation capabilities, ImageMagick also includes a number of other features, such as support for animation, color management, and image rendering. These features make it a versatile tool for a wide range of image-related tasks, including graphic design, scientific visualization, and digital art.
