"Ears only" function question

Is there something like Cubase's "Ears only" feature in Logic? This blanks the screen with a keycommand to allow you to listen to the sound and not to expect/see what is next. This is valuable when you return to a composition after a period of time and want to listen to it without expextations. I know the workaround is to switch off the monitor but it isn't that convinient if you have 2 or more screens and if they are placed out of reach. The second workaround might be to close your eyes (hehe) but it's too easy to open them (temptation)
Cheers,
Wojtek

Hi Wojtek,
funny question, two suggestions:
1) Select a screenset and open a blank environment layer for each monitor. You now can switch to "Ears only mode" by selecting the screenset (Numeric buttons 1-9 by default).
2) Use Exposé. Its a Mac OS Feature. Go to the system preferences and select any corner of your monitor or a keycommand to view your desktop. By moving the mouse to that corner or pressing the keycommand your arrangewindow will disappear and you get it back with the same procedure.
I you still feel like you have to fight against temptation and you cannot resist to select that diabolical screenset with the arrangewindow in it while listening in "ears only mode" ......I would recommend to scourge yourself again and again!
Cheers Eddie

  • Best practice for read-only functionality

    Hi,
    I'm part of the development team of a system with about 100 screens. The customer would like us to add some read-only functionality to the system, so that certain users are able to access the screens but not change any of the data on them. We already have policies in place on the database level that keeps read-only users from saving data, but it's not very user friendly to allow users to change data on a screen, only to tell them that they're not allowed to save those changes once they try to do so. It would clearly be better if all components are rendered as read-only components for read-only users, making them unable to make any data changes in the first place.
    User privileges in the system are controlled by roles defined and set in the system (not ADF roles or Weblogic roles). At any given time and place, it's possible to check whether the current user has a certain role. We already use this in a number of places to make it possible to control which user has access to which screens. In a few places we even control which functionality should be enabled for the current user within a screen, but mostly the access control is currently on the screen level. With read-only users getting access to all screens, it seems we will need lot of extra in-screen access control to keep these users from changing anything.
    But what's the best practice here? One way to go would be to add some logic to every single active component on every single screen, to determine whether it should be rendered as active or disabled/read-only. But that would require a lot of extra coding.
    So my question is: Is there a smarter way to do this? Maybe something done through skinning? Or something else?
    (I'm not sure how relevant this is for this sort of question, but we're currently using JDev 11.1.1.4.0, and expect to upgrade to 11.1.1.6.0 within the next 6 months)
    Best regards,

    Hi Guna, Puthanampatti and Don,
    Thanks a lot for your replies. I'm currently looking into implementing something along the lines of what Guna has suggested:
    Our application consists of a number of individual work spaces that are deployed as adflibs which have all been added to a "master application work space", and the master application is deployed as an .ear file. Most of the individual work spaces are for all the different functional areas of the application, with their own task flows, page fragments etc. The rest are work spaces with common functionality, like datamodel (entity definitions), utility methods, page templates, and framework extensions. In the latter, we have defined custom classes for all the base classes (somewhat similar to what Don describes, I believe).
    In our custom class for ViewRowImpl, I have added an isAttributeUpdateable method, and in our custom class for ApplicationModuleImpl I have added an isReadOnlyUser method. The isAttributeUpdateable method uses the isReadOnlyUser method to determine if the current user is a read-only user or not; if the user is a read-only user the isAttributeUpdateable method will return false, otherwise true. The isReadOnlyUser method in our base class is just a dummy method that always returns true. But in the ApplicationModuleImpl classes of our individual work spaces, i've written an override for isReadOnlyUser, giving the answer that is relevant for the work space in question (for instance, whether or not the current user has the role "User Administrator").
    That pretty much takes care of all input fields in tables and forms, which is a big step in the right direction. This still leaves some work to be done for components that are not directly linked to view object attributes (like buttons), but I guess that can't be helped. Also, there are a few of the work spaces that contain a number of pages that are related to different user privileges (as in: page 1 requires user privilege A, and page 2 requires user privilege B); in these cases I will have to do something different than just writing an override in the "local" ApplicationModuleImpl class.
    @Don: What you describe seems to be pretty close in functionality to what we already have, though your implementation is different from ours. You have used your custom base ApplicationModuleImpl class to keep read-only users from committing changes. We use Virtual Private Database and database policies to the same end: If a user without the required full-access role tries to commit data it will cause a database error, which we then handle in the application (so the user gets a message like "You don't have the required privileges to changes this data", rather than an ORA message). Unfortunately, our customers are not content with this. They want a solution where all input fields and most of the buttons etc. are disabled for read-only users, and that's why I'm looking into the best/smartest way to do this.
    @Puthanampatti: We already use something similar to what you're suggesting. The challenge I'm currently facing is how best to disable/enable components based on the current user's roles, not how to determine and store those roles.
    Best regards,
    Andreas

    Some websites are loaded only with question marks after I updated to Firefox 4.0.1. I have attached a screenshot in the link below.

    Update Skype to the latest version. The one you have installed at the moment is incompatible with Firefox. See https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/blocklist/
    In addition, go to Add-ons | Extensions and disable "BitDefender Antiphishing Toolbar". Test your sites where you get the question marks to see if it rectifies the problem. If it doesn't, you can re-enable it again.
    Do the same with the Conduit Engine.

    Install VLC 1.1.9 via http://www.videolan.org
    The version you have on your system exposes your machine to attack. Actually, version 1.1.9 is also insecure, but not as bad as the one you have installed.

  • Sumifs function question

    Hi, Everyone, I have a function question of Sumifs, here a sample as follows,
    =SUMIFS(Budget :: E4:E14,Budget :: C4:C14,"=5003677000",Budget :: B4:B14,OR("=Transit","=Drawing cash")), according to the logic, I think like this, but it's wrong. So how to insert the OR function to the Sumifs function? May someone find the mistake in the function?
    Thank you.
    Alex

    I think you would actually do a sum of simifs, i.e. Sumif(....."Transit") + Sumif(....."Drawing Cash")
    Basically if you have two sumifs that differ in only one condition that would be treated like an OR in SQL, then make one Sumif for each unique set of  conditions and add them up

  • Incremental updates on collections/full schedule - Functional question

    Hi everyone,
    At a customer of mine we have the following set-up:
    Almost all applications are deployed User Based
    Collections are used for targetting the applications
    Incremental updates are enabled on practically all collections which deploy applications
    For the moment this setup is active for 498 collections (out of 714  collections).
    Since it's not advised and Microsoft recommends to only have incremental updates active for 200 collections, I would like to change this setup by means of POSH. I have just finished writing it, but I still have a functional question:
    Which schedule time would be best to activate for the collections? Keep the standard value to update collection every 7 days?
    When would you activate "incremental updates"? Device collections with required software for faster deployment time?
    I only foresee the following "downside":
    We have a lot of applications who are available to "all domain users". When the AD-account is created, it will sync with SCCM and will receive their deployements. But by changing the update schedule to, let's say, 7 days.. They wouldn't be able
    to see and install these applications if the collections haven't been updated yet?
    Thanks for the insight with your experience!
    Kr,
    Sven

    Wow Jörgen, thanks for this information! This was something I haven't read about. Will keep this in mind.
    In your blog, you mention that you use this tool to keep track of performance issues. When do you feel that there are too many collections which have incremental updates enabled (by using the tool)?
    The last weeks/months, we have a lot of issues during OSD. We have collections to which the TS is deployed.
    In orchestrator we have a runbook to add workstations to SCCM + add workstation to collection + update membership of collection. But the update takes from 5 minutes to 40 minutes.. So this is the main issue that we have..
    @Andrew: Thanks for your contribution! I believe you are speaking of "Global Conditions"? I haven't used it either, but I thought that this had some downsides.. For instance, we target most of the applications "Used Based" (since MS is
    moving to user centric deployment). So if I target the application to the "all users" collection and create a "global condition" to only install when user is a member of a specific AD-group (for instance: Skype), then the user still sees
    "skype" in the application catalog and will have an error upon installing it when he is not a member of the skype AD-group.
    Maybe this is completely wrong what I'm saying.. Just did some brainstorming with collegues but haven't found the time to play with it in a test environment. @Jörgen: Please enlighten us if I'm wrong.

    I recently bought an Ipod touch 2nd gen, (Ebay). It's in great shape and seemed to be wiped clean.
    When I connect (via windows computer) to Itunes with usb cord the Ipod icon shows, but the only function you can do is eject. When its in the upper right hand corner and you click on it all you get is a done button, when it's in the side bar right click and your only option is eject, left click has no effect. If I go to "file">devices it's as if there are no devices connected.
    I purchased a song with Itunes on the Ipod itself, and it transferred to my library on the computer automatically .
    I have an Iphone 5 and a nano that are still functioning with Itunes thru computer so I'm thinking the issue is with the Ipod touch. I've reset it several times, rebooted it, with no change.
    nothing on the internet has helped, I called tech support and got disconnected. Should I take it to a retail store? I just don't know where to go next, I'm of course willing to pay for tech or repair. looking for suggestions.

  • Auto-populate of SHELL_shellName_shell Upper form DE only functions in one single-instance project shell.  The DE in the BP Upper Form needs to auto-populate in two separate single-instance shells.  How can I get this DE to autopopulate in both?

      The Unifier environment
    contains two single-instance project shells, INF and PBS, and two multiple-instance child project shells, INFS and
    PB.    There is a single instance, non-workflow
    business process, ‘Project Information’ that contains a data element in the
    upper form definition, Project ID.  The Project ID is set to auto-populate from the multi-instance “INFS”
    project shell attribute, which is populated manually. 
    Issue:  The auto-populate functionality for the
    Project ID ‘Shell_shellName_shell’ data element within the single-instance
    Project Information BP only functions within one of the shells, either
    INFS or PB, but not both.  The INF and INFS shells are currently deployed
    to production, PB and PBS shell are not.
    It is critical that Project ID ‘Shell_shellname_shell’ data element is populated correctly in the
    Project Information upper form of both shells, INFS and PB,
    because that data element is referenced by multiple business processes and
    integrations. 
    The attribute form definitions for both single and multiple instance project shells are identical.  The Project ID utilizes the same data
    element ‘SHELL_shellName_shell’ as is defined in both shell attribute forms
    (INFS and PB). 
    The data definition source is a Unifier system-level variable, SYS Shell
    Name (String, 128, Text Box)
    Potential Solutions:
    1. Create a Project ID DE of another data type which can
    be successfully auto-populated from either shell.  Drawback: all BPs and integrations which
    reference Shell_Shellname_shell will need to be rewritten.
    2. Investigate converting the Project Information single-instance
    to a  multi-instance BP, and create a
    separate instance for each single-instance shell type.  Same Drawback as Option #1, but with additional
    rework.  Most likely Project Information
    would have to be recreated as a new BP.
    Not sure that this option would even work.
    3. Create a separate Project Information BP for PB.  Drawback:  Two separate BPs for Project Information would
    need to be created.  All existing BPs
    refer to Project Information, so this option could potentially invalidate the
    ability to use the existing BPs in the PB shell.

    Was it really necessary to post the whole API description?!?
    Locale[] locales = Locale.ENGLISH();ENGLISH is not a method in class Locale, so do not add the braces "( );".
    Also, the constant ENGLISH is not an array, but just a single Locale object.

    Hi,
    A few more pointers.
    Start with Reports. What the client is using. What he is expecting.
    If he got existing reports map the fields with Business Content BW Fields. Go to Business content and make a list of queries which are delivered from SAP. Explain them the KPI's. This should be good to start with. Also check the Tcodes they use.
    Look for DataSources that get data from theses Tcode's.
    Project Preparation (Initial stuff -- Do a conceptual review after this phase requirements gathering)
    Collect requirement thru interviews with Business teams /Core users / Information Leaders.
    Study & analyze KPI's (key figures) of Business process.
    Identify the measurement criteria's (Characteristics).
    Understand the Drill down requirements if any.
    Understand the Business process data flow if any.
    Identify the needs for data staging layers in BW – (i. e need for ODS if any)
    Understand the system landscape.
    Prepare Final Requirements Documents in the form of Functional Specifications containing:
    Report Owners, Data flow, KPI's, measurement criteria's, Report format along with drilldown requirements.
    Hope this helps.

  • Why do some graphics only have question marks on my iPad?

    Why do some graphics only have question marks on my iPad?

    On web pages and in the ap store.  In place of the graphic there's a little box with a question mark in it.
    I can't even connect to a web page right now.  I've got three bars on the wifi icon but safari just keeps trying until it says it can't connect to the server.  Same with the ap store, I've been trying all afternoon to download a new ap with no success.  It came right through on my iphone on the same wifi network.  Had the same problem on my home network.   I'm new to apple and I've only had the iphone and the ipad for a little over a week, but all this seems to have started after the most recent software update.
    Is this all related?

  • OIC: Functional Question(11.5.10)

    Hi All,
    I would like to know answer for the following functional question in Oracle 11.5.10 Incentive Compensation Application(OIC). I would greatly appreciate if you anyone can reply for this.
    1. Question on Foreign currency exchange rates:
    We know that OIC cannot handle foreign currency exchange rates. Since all of our offer letters to the Sales guys are in local currency what we end up doing is picking an exchange rate on July 1st every year and converting them to US $. What I’m wondering is why couldn’t we just set them up in OIC in their local currency, without converting them?
    Is that possible? OIC can handle this?
    2. In OIC, Can I enter a DUMMY Acoount Executive (since we are not going to credit any single person in the Primary Account Executive role) that bookings could be credited to in order to ensure they roll up to the appropriate manager?
    a) Is that possible?
    b) Does this DUMMY Acoount Executive should be part of the HR Employee setups as well?, In OIC should we need to load the transaction for DUMMY Account
    Executive so that credit will get rolled up to approriate managers based on the Group hiearchy setups?
    Thanks,
    Johnson

    You do not need to set up the dummy resource as employee. All you need is to create as OTHER type of resource and add that resource to group.

    My notebook will not start up----I see only a question mark in a small folder.  What to do?

    Booting From An OS X Installer Disc
    1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
      2. Restart the computer.
      3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
      4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple
          logo appears.
      5. Wait for installer to finish loading.
    How to Perform an Archive and Install
    An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
    1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
    3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
    4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
    5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
    6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

Maybe you are looking for
