Environment....

Hi all,
I'm bored so I just thought i'd throw this into the mix for fun! Having been a Cubase/Nuendo user up until earlier this year and plunging for a Mac Pro and LP7, I for one am glad to see the environment has been shifted toward the back of the LP8 manual. Don't get me wrong, it's great and I spent a lot of time getting to grips with it and creating the ultimate autoload for my setup, but how much easier is it now just to add the tracks you want, when you want and not have to worry about creating all those aux channels etc in the environment to get your multi outs etc? Genius work, and all on one screen. I have always liked the tight midi of logic as i have quite a few outboard bits and bobs, but this is the icing on the cake for me! What I would like to see now is something similar to the control room in Nuendo, so I can switch between my monitors on the LP8 interface and my control surface. Maybe it's in there already, but i've only just opened the manual. I was using a clever template to do that exact function in LP7 in a floating window, but it didn't have the same control, like h/p level and metrenome click to h/p etc. Any more features you would like to see for future updates? I would love to see this....(unless it's in there of course!)
Cheers all,
Aj.

I'm bored too (labeling CD's...) so here's my 2 farthings...
(big booming voice from the sky) Never Underestimate the Power of the Environment!
It's not essential that anyone learn its whys and wherefores for most situations. You can run Logic perfectly well without delving into it. But the ability to do everything from simple to highly complex MIDI processing is available to you there. And who knows.... one day you may happen upon a situation where something comes up that makes you wonder, "hmmm... I wonder if Logic can do this..." and then you find you can, because of (you guessed it, booming voice=on) The Power of the Environment.

  • X11 environment variables on MacBook Pro

    Hi
    I have just got my new MacBook Pro and have installed Gimp to run using x11 that came on the apple installation disks however I can't seem to get the xterm to configure correctly.
    GIMP is installed under /sw/bin but the default PATH for x11 does not include this location so I added PATH=$PATH:/sw/bin:/sw/sbin to a newly created .bash_profile. But x11 did not seem to use this file although terminal worked OK.
    After doing a bit of research, I then created a .bashrc file with the PATH defined and changed the .bash_profile to source .bashrc with no other entries.
    Again this worked OK for Terminal but now when I type 'echo $Path' in an x11 xterm the PATH displays two entries for /sw/bin & /sw/sbin. i.e.
    $ echo $PATH
    /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/sw/bin:/sw/sbin
    Any ideas why? and how can I correct it?
    Macbook Pro 17   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Sorry this was a bit brief; I think I was still asleep when I typed it.
    The reasons are these:
    1. Many fink programs require environment variables and other settings. When you source that init.sh file, it ensures everything is set up to work out of the box. (Among the things it does is to in turn source every relevant file in /sw/etc/profile.d -- take a look in it to see what, if anything, is in there). There is also some code to keep your path trimmed properly, so you don't get repeats pasted on.
    2. Bash is unique in that either .bashrc or .bash_profile, but not both, get sourced. In a rooted X11 environment, everything works properly, but on OS X, where X11 is "rootless," it leads to unexpected behavior like what you saw. As long as you put everything into one file and then tell the other one to source its contents, you should be ok.
    You can also run X11 stuff from Apple's terminal, provided you somewhere in a startup file have something to set the DISPLAY variable, usually to .0.
    I've put more discussion of these things here

  • Using a VMware Fusion XP environment with multiple Mac users

    Hi,
    I have installed an XP environment using VMware Fusion. I am only able to start this XP environment when logged in as the user that created it. How can I grant access to this environment to other MAC users on my machine?
    Any input is much appreciated.
    Kind regards, Hans.

    Thanks all, thanks for your input. I have been able to solve it now.
    As suggested I moved the VMWARE file to the shared folder. Then I assigned read/write access rights to the specific users. This is something I had not tried before. Somehow just moving to the shared folder did not change access rights on file level.
    Thanks all,
    Hans.

  • "Error while registering the Java 2 Runtime Environment registry keys"

    "Error while registering the Java 2 Runtime Environment registry keys"
    I am getting the above error when trying to install the 1.3 JRE (installed with the 1.3 plug in which I need). As part of my development I have been installing and uninstalling the JRE multiple times. Then, I got the above error when trying to install it, and now it appears to be installed but I cannot uninstall it. When I try to uninstall it, it just remains, and when I try to install it again I get the above error. I have tried cleaning up all javasoft registry entries, but it doesnt seem to have helped. Can anyone help me either completely uninstall the JRE so I can do a clean install or help me get rid of the error above when I install. Is there some registry entries I should be looking at? Anything else? this is quite urgent as I need to test my applet with the plugin installed and not installed - and I currently cant uninstall it. Any ideas?
    Thanks for your help

    I face the same issue and I have given all permissions to the folder for OS user.
    Because of this error my server is not starting up . Is there any way I can undeploy this composite to get my server running.
    I cant do this from EM because SOA server is failing to start up.
    I have tried removing it from $DOMAIN_HOME/deployed-composites but still when i try restarting the soa server the composite comes up there. Do we need to delete the entry some where else too. Kindly help.
    Thanks,
    Sri.

  • How to install Windows 7/Vista as 2nd OS and retain predesktop environment (service partition)

    This is a step-by-step instruction how to install Windows Vista or Windows 7 as a second OS on a Lenovo Thinkpad that originally shipped with Windows XP AND how to retain the access to the Lenovo Service Partition.
    I have been searching the internet for instructions like these but could not find anything useful. So I am posting it
    here. Maybe this helps other users.
    I have tested the procedure below with installation of Windows Vista Ultimate (64bit) and Windows 7 Ultimate (64bit). I believe that the procedure will also work with the 32bit versions of these OSs. I am not totally convinced that this works when the OS to install is Windows XP (64bit or 32bit). XP has a completely different boot sequence compared to Vista or 7. The basic steps would remain the same, but the XP setup is less forgiving when it finds an unknown partition. If somebody wants to try it out, please post your results as a reply to this forum entry.
    Never never never try to install an older OS (like Windows 2000 or NT) as a second OS when XP is already installed! This is doomed to fail.
    The procedure below does NOT work for Linux installations. I am not a Linux wizard, but any Linux bootmanager I know about is incompatible with the Lenovo Service Partition.
    The procedure was tested on a Thinkpad R61 model 8918-B9G. It should work similar on other models.
    You definitely need a service partition with Rescue&Recovery version 4. It will NOT work with older versions of R&R or if the service partition is not a type12 partition (see below how to find out about that).
    I assume that the harddisk partitions are unmodified, i.e. still have factory settings. This is likely the case if you
    never attempted any OS install or recovery action. If this is not the case, the procedure may or may not work.
    You also need a bootable CD with a tool that can change the size of your current system partition. I was using gparted live version 0.5.2-9. ( http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ )
    Everything you do is at your own risk. I am in no way related to Lenovo, other than being a customer using their
    products.
    Step 1) Make a full backup of your harddisk. Get yourself recovery CDs for your Thinkpad model if you don't have any. The changes we are about to make can completely screw up your harddrive. A typo is sufficient for that to happen.
    Step 2) Power on the system. Check that you can boot into the Service Partition by pressing the Thinkvantage button when the startup screen appears. (Older systems may have a differently named button.) If there is a problem booting the service partition now, it is likely that the rest of this procedure will not fix it.
    Step 3) From the service partition choose 'Warmstart' to reboot the system. Reboot Windows XP, logon.
    Open a command prompt. CD to the following directory:
    \Program Files\Common Files\Lenovo\BMGR
    On a german language system (like mine) it is
    \Programme\Gemeinsame Dateien\Lenovo\BMGR
    If you have an older IBM system the directory may be named
    \Program Files\Common Files\IBM\BMGR
    or something like that. Maybe you need to search around.
    In the following, I will call this the "BMGR dir".
    Enter the following command:
    bmgr32 /info /v
    You should get an output similar to this:
    C:\Programme\Gemeinsame Dateien\Lenovo\BMGR>bmgr32 /info /v

    The important thing to look for is the 0x12 partition type in the partition table at the bottom. This is the service
    partition. If you do not have a 0x12 partition, then you can stop here because the rest of the procedure will not work
    for you.
    Step 4) Shutdown and boot gparted from CD. Shrink the system partition to the desired size. Do NOT touch the service partition! Do NOT attempt to create another partition! Leave the new white space on the disk untouched! Apply changes and restart the system.
    Step 5) Reboot XP. gparted has set the NTFS dirty bit. This will cause XP to run a full CHKDSK. Depending on how much files there are on the partition this may take considerable time. Let CHKDSK run to completion. When CHKDSK finishes, the system will automatically reboot.
    Step 6) XP reboots now. Logon. When loading the desktop, XP will show a popup window, stating that system settings have been changed and new devices been discovered and that the system should be rebooted. This is ok. XP actually recognized the shrunk system partition and applied the necessary changes to its own system parameters. Click YES to reboot the system.
    Step 7) XP reboots. Logon. Open a command prompt, CD to the BMGR dir and enter:
    bmgr32 /info /v
    The output you get should be similar to the output you have seen in step 3, except that the partition 0 size column
    shows a smaller value.
    Step 8) Shutdown, restart. Check that you can still access the service partition by pressing the blue Thinkvantage button when the system startup screen appears.
    Step 9) From the predesktop environment choose warmstart. Reboot XP. Logon, logoff, shutdown.
    DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP!!! If you start the Windows Vista/7 install right after shutting down from the predesktop
    environment, the Win Vista/7 setup program will screw up your harddisk! The Lenovo MBR bootmgr reboot takes two steps for completion. The first step is the shutdown and the second step is executed when booting from harddisk. A boot from the Windows CD will skip this second step and disaster finds its way...
    Step 10) Insert the Windows Vista/7 DVD and boot it. Start the setup. Choose "Custom (advanced)" install. It will show the partitions on the disk. Select the white space (unallocated). Click on "disk options (advanced)". Click on "New" to create a new partition in the white space. Keep the default size, click "Apply". Click "Format". A popup window appears stating that the partition may hold OEM data. Continue. Click "Next". Installation starts.
    Continued in the second post...

    Step 11) Win Vista/XP will reboot several times during installation. You will always see the Windows bootmanager with an entry for "Earlier Windows version" and "Windows Vista/7". DO NOT DARE to touch the blue Thinkvantage button on any reboot or press any function keys!
    Step 12) When the installation is finished, check that you can successfully reboot Win Vista/7 by selecting it from the Windows bootmanager.
    Step 13) Reboot XP by choosing "Earlier Windows version" from the Windows bootmanager. Open a command prompt. CD to the BMGR dir. Enter the following command:
    bmgr32 /info /v
    The output will now look like this:

    startLBA and size will of course differ, depending on the actual partition sizes you have set. Note that Windows setup moved the service partition to entry 2 of the partition table. If you do not see the 0x12 partition then stop here.
    Otherwise the following step will likely screw up you harddisk.
    Enter the following command (case sensitive?):
    bmgr32 /Fbootmgr.bin /m0 /IBM /v

    So you have actually regained the Lenovo bootmanager. But you are not done yet.
    Step 14) Shutdown. Restart the system. DO NOT PRESS THE BLUE THINKVANTAGE BUTTON AT THE SYSTEM STARTUP SCREEN!!! IT DOES NOT WORK YET! When the system startup screen DISAPPEARS, quickly press F11 (maybe several times). The system should now boot the predesktop environment from the service partition.
    Step 15) When the predesktop is there, choose "warmstart". When the system startup screen appears, press the blue Thinkvantage button. The system should again boot into the predesktop. The blue Thinkvantage button now works permanently.
    Step 16) Check that you can boot Win XP and Win Vista/7 from the Windows bootmanager. You're done!

  • Satellite Z930-14F - cannot install Win 8.1 from SCCM 2012 R2 environment

    Dear all,
    Sattelite Z series laptops cannot install OS (win 8.1) from our SCCM 2012 R2 environment.
    Either no installation is starting, or pxe boot aborted error is showed.
    The environment is used to successfully install OS (win 8.1) on different other vendor computers (dell) and virtual machines (hyper-v and vmware).
    I've tried both UEFI and CMS boot options and tried to switch off the secure boot. Please advice.
    Also, i've read about the "SCCM installation package for Toshiba". Will it help in my situation or is it just driver packages for SCCM?
    Best Regards, Evgeny.

    I guess you are speaking about this Toshiba package:
    http://www.toshiba.eu/services/on-demand/business-computing/sdp120gs-v/
    I dont have much experience using such SCCM drive package but it definitely compatible with the Toshiba business notebooks. The Satellite / Portege Z930 belong to the business range and I think the package should be compatible.
    This package seems to be for all IT administrators who manage devices on the corporate network with SCCM 2012 R2. Toshiba offers with the new Toshiba SCCM package a solution to integrate other notebook into an existing IT infrastructure quickly and smoothly and all Toshiba Driver and application packages and a demonstration task sequence are integrated.
    However, it seems that you could get more details about this package directly from Toshiba [email protected]
    By the way: The Win 8.1 installation requires the UEFI mode (in case the UEFI BIOS is available). But booting from another, external source requires the disabled secure boot option.
    So maybe you should use the UEFI mode but should disable the secure boot option in order to boot from LAN.

  • Deploying Printer to XP and Win 7 environment before it is connected to network

    I have a client that is getting 4 new office printers that will be replacing their leased printers.
    The third party company will come in, take away the old printers and set up the new printers. By set up, I mean they will connect the network cable, power it on, program the IP address I give them and take off. I need to pr-stage these printers so that users
    will be able to print as soon as the new printers are powered on. There are a lot of users depending on these printers to work with little downtime as possible. This is a 24/7 operation unfortunately. So, it is a server 2008 R2 / Windows XP / Windows 7 domain
    environment. 
    I am really getting close to the deadline of new printers arriving so I will walk through exact
    steps I have taken to get this set up. 
    Ok. I have a server running 2008 R2. I added the Print services role. 
    Right click 'Printers' -> Add printer
    select 'Add a TCP/IP Printer by IP address or hostname'
    'Type of device' = 'Autodetect'
    'hostname or IP address' = 'x.x.x.x' (IP address that printer will be set to)
    'Port name' = 'x.x.x.x_2'
    do NOT select 'auto detect printer driver'
     select 'Generic Network Card'
    select 'Install new driver'
    select 'Have Disk' and browse to driver
    'Printer name' = Printer Name
    select 'share this printer'
    'Share name' = Printer Name
    next, next, driver installs and printer installs, and finish. 
    Now you have the printer installed and showing up under printers. 
    Now, I right click printer and -> deploy with group policy
    Browse to the OU where users are located in ADUC, select the GPO that I have linked to that OU, select 'apply to users' click 'add' and click 'OK'.
    The GPO adds a setting:
    User Config -> Policies -> Windows Settings -> Printer Connections -> Path -> \\Server\Printer
    Now, I log in to a win 7 computer, gpupdate, printer shows up in devices and printers. I can't print to it obviously since it's not connected to the network yet. But, when I log in to an XP computer, run gpupdate, it does NOT populate in devices and printers. 
    When I run gpresult the policy is applied, but the printer is not showing up in devices and printers. Also,
    I can search for the printer and install it that way since I chose 'list in directory' from the printer server so I know the driver is correct. 
    What am I doing wrong? 
    Thank you in advance. 

    From the previous description, are you using Deployed Printers? If yes, you need to run pushprinterconnections.exe on XP. You can find a 32bit binary in \windows\system32 on a 32bit version of Windows 7 With SP1.
    Alan Morris Windows Printing Team
    One more question Alan, how can I set these printers I have deployed as the default for the users? 

  • Reporting services in three tier SharePoint 2013 environment

    Hi,
    I am trying to integrate SQL Server 2012SP1 Reporting Services in a three tier SharePoint 2013 environment, but it seems it is not succesful.
    The setup is as following:
    SRV1: SQL Server with content, config,... and the Reporting Service databases.
    SRV2: SharePoint 2013 Application server & Central Administration
    SRV3: SharePoint Web Front with SharePoint sites
    All application pools are started with domain accounts on SRV2 & 3
    When opening the Central Administration site, the Reporting Services Service Application and its Proxy is created and configured. On SRV2 the Application exists in the application pool in IIS, but it does not appear in the SRV3. Should it be created manualluy?
    In Central Administration, when opening the site settings the Reporting Services section is created, but when opening the Site Settings for the root site the section shows variables:
    $Resources:ReportServerResources,ReportServerSiteSettingsGroupTitle;
    $Resources:ReportServerResources,ScheduleList;
    $Resources:ReportServerResources,SiteLevelSettings;
    $Resources:ReportServerResources,ManageSiteDataAlerts;
    I believe i need some help here.
    Thanks in advance.
    Best regards,
    J

    Hi J-S,
    Generally, the issue occurs if you are in the Windows Powershell instead of the SharePoint Management Shell or the Reporting Services - SharePoint mode feature is not installed. So, please double check you are using the SharePoint Management Shell or install
    the Add-in by installing the rssharepoint.msi instead. Here is the download link:
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35583
    If it is not the issue, please install the Reporting Services - SharePoint mode from the SQL Server 2012 installation media.

  • Help needed for hash_area_size setting for Datawarehouse environment

    We have an Oracle 10g Datawarehousing environment , running on 3 - node RAC
    with 16 GB RAM & 4 CPUs each and roughly we have 200 users and night jobs running on this D/W .
    We find that query performance of all ETL Processes & joins are quite slow .
    How much should we increase the value of hash_area_size parameter for this Datawarehouse environment ? This is a Production database, with Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.1.0.5.0.
    We use OWB 10g Tool for this D/W and we need to change the hash_area_size to increase the performance of the ETL Processes.
    This is the Oracle init parameter settings used, as shown below : -
    Kindly suggest ,
    Thanks & best regards ,

  • Can not see all my tracks in environment window

    Hello everyone,
    i just got a 32 inch lcd screen from a friend and i can not figure out how to see all my tracks?
    is there a way to resize the tracks in the enviornment window?
    It would be great to be able to see the top tear of my tracks in full as well as the bottom tear of tracks,this screen is certainly large enough.
    lol

    How much stuff you can fit on the monitor depends on the resolution of the monitor, not the size.
    In the inspector you can uncheck some boxes of what is displayed.  In the environment it is object specific, not global like in the mixer - so you have to select the channels that you want to hide certain parameters, and each one can be different.

  • Altering a table in a materialized view environment

    Hello everybody!.
    My question is as simple as this:
    When I have a single master - multiple materialized views environment , and I want to alter the master table (usually adding a column) , how do I propagate the change to the materialized view sites ?
    In Oracle's documentation manuals it is written the process ONLY for the master sites.If I manually just alter the materialized views to the mat.views sites , the new columns DON'T take data from the master table!
    It would be very nice if someone could help me.
    Thanks everybody on advance!.

    Hi,
    you must dorp and recreate materialized view.

  • View logfile or view output hangs in 3 node environment

    Hi All,
    Briefing the environment:
    Database -- ERPDB001
    Conc + admin -- APPS001
    Forms + web -- APPS002
    Some times when we try to see view log or view output after running the Concurrent requests. The system seems like hanging and it will display following error after. If you check in the next minute, it will show the output/logfile. looks like a strange behavior
    "An error occurred while attempting to establish an Application File Server connection with the node APPS001. There may be a network configuration problem, or the TNS listener on node APPS001 may not be running, Please contact your system administrator."
    Is this the Oracle Apps issue or the network issue between two node.
    Regards

    =========================
    We found not much errors.
    One time the error is
    "05-JUL-2008 11:38:47 * 12502
    TNS-12502: TNS:listener received no CONNECT_DATA from client"
    But I used to get above Original error (Core issue) lot of times in the Application.
    Even users are complaining about this.

  • Unable to import the Internet servivce into Production Environment

    Hi,
    We put the internet service and its HTML templates in a custom package for integrated ITSMobile. We got everything but the internet service ZXXX in the production. Has anyone come across this before? We were able to transport to the quality system. But it did not create the internet service in the production environment. Is it authorization issue? Your input will be highly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Subbu

    Hi Subbu,
    I suggest you to as your basis guys how are familiar with transports between systems. They will find out what the reason is. Without being able to look into transport protocols it is unlikeliy that someone here can advise you.

  • Deployment in enterprise environment

    Dear Team members,
    I would like to post a question to you regarding deployment doubts that we are trying to address.
    My company is working on the new version of our primary application previously built as a J2EE application with some reporting functions with Flex, and we want to use AIR in order to leverage its possibilities:
    Seamless integration with existing application functionalities (implemented as standard JEE web application pages) thanks to the integrated HTML capabilities
    Improved integration of the user interface with the desktop
    Native processes to provide additional functionalities
    Our application is targeted to pharmaceutical industry, subject to FDA regulations, and it affects more than 5000 users for each customer, so we have some specific requirements affecting the deployment and distribution of the software:
    Allow to run multiple versions of the software on the same client machine (to support test and acceptance activities in addition to the production environment)
    Minimize the effort of the initial setup on each client
    Manage the version upgrades without manual activities on each client
    Keep the test/acceptance and production environments strictly aligned to improve effectiveness of formal validation (ideally, an application once validated should be transported in production without any source code modification, recompilation or repackaging)
    The current browser-based strategy is perfectly fit to these requirements, and in the shift towards a desktop-based strategy we need to continue satisfying them as much as possible. We evaluated the standard distribution strategy of Adobe AIR applications, and noticed several attention points in this scenario.
    The first issue we encountered is the back-end services endpoint discovery problem. Simply hardcoding a server URL in the packaged application could be a viable solution for public internet-accessible applications, but we need to support multiple customers in their intranet, and each one typically requires multiple environments for the application (acceptance, production, etc.). Maintaining dozens of different packages of the AIR application to support all these customer environments clearly is not the solution. Neither we want to force thousands of different users to enter and maintain the correct server location in their local preferences.
    So, we thought to use a badge hosted in the back-end application to run the local AIR application: using the underlying API, we could activate the application specifying also the network location of the back-end services. We could also rely on the badge to install the application (and the AIR runtime if necessary)… however, application packaged as native installers cannot be installed, upgraded, or launched by the badge API (and we need to package ours as native to use native processes).
    We also noticed that multiple versions of an AIR application cannot be installed side-by-side in a client machine, and that the installation and upgrade of the application can be performed only when the local user has administrative rights on the machine (using standard or native packages), forcing us to rely on external software distribution systems in some customer scenarios (introducing additional complexities in the release cycle)
    At this point, in our opinion the standard deployment strategies of Adobe AIR applications are unfit for enterprise environments. In the enterprise world, many of the applications have migrated to a completely browser-based solution, while others enhanced their client layer to comply with the requirements, for example installing only a thin portion of the client code and allowing to connect to multiple server versions/environments with it (e.g. the SAP GUI universal client). Without smarter deployment and distribution tools, AIR applications currently are a step back compared to web applications in terms of manageability.
    So, we are trying to develop a solution to address these problems, with some concepts similar to JStart: install on the client machine a launcher application capable of being activated from a web page, dynamically locate, download and run the actual client bytecode, transparently enforce client software updates, and supporting multiple applications (and multiple versions of the same application). However, we are facing many technical problems due to internal architecture of AIR and we already spent a considerable amount of effort trying to find a solution. We are now thinking to return on the choice of AIR, going back to Flex.
    What is the position of Adobe on this argument? Is Adobe aware of these issues and are there any plans on this topic? Any advice?
    Thank you in advance
