Is Chromatic Automation Possible?

Hey,
I'm currently making drills for vocal lessons in garage band. A single chord's individual notes are played sequentially, followed by the next chromatic chord's individual notes.
*Essentially, I have a 8 beat pattern which I need a two dozen times, each part one half step above the last. Can this be automated?*
See picture for graphical explication:

Can this be automated?
not "push a button, it's done", no.
you could create a pitch curve in the Master track, which is easy and fairly quick. open GB's help and search for "curve"

Is Automation possible in SAP BW

Hi,
I am working in BW testing (manual testing).Is there any way that BW automation testing (like using ECATT, QTP tools)can be done?
Can anyone help me out in this.

Hi,
Automation is possible ECATT, QTP tools but ECATT it's old version it gives a comparison on the screens expected and the messages if any and it cannot compare the values.
QTP and SAP TAO is the latest versions if you use QTP we will write QTP script.
Qtp Experts build the automation assets QTP experts work behind the scenes creating the automation assets for the business components created by SMEs.
can you share your mail i can send doc..

Is Full Automation Possible In DIAdem V9.1?

Hi all
I wonder if i can fully automate my DIAdem V9.1 application.
Here's what i have at the moment:
From time to time a wIndows application writes a new datafile containing ASCII data to the PC's harddrive.
The files are named 00001-Date.daf, 00002-Date.daf, 00003-Date.daf... and so on.
The .daf file is nothing exotic, it's simply an ASCCI file containig data for two channels. I use the extension .daf only
to get a unique file extension.
Then i doubleclick on the DIAdem icon.
I have modified the destination path of the icon in this way:
"C:\Programme\National Instruments\DIAdem 9.1\DIADEM.exe" "/CScriptStart('"E:\DIAdemWork\Manni01.vbs"')"
DIAdem starts, and runs the Manni01.vbs script.
The script will open a FileNameGet dialogue, and the user has to select one of the .daf files.
The selected .daf file will automatically be imported, displayed and analysed.
This works fine, but, as you see, the user has to select the file to be imported.
Since this has to be done inside DIAdem, it cannot be automated further.
It would be much nicer, if the name of the file to be processed could be transferred to DIAdem as
a program start parameter, similar to the name of the starting script.
The other application could then start DIAdem with this filename as a parameter. DIAdem could
process the datafile and NO user interaction would be required to select the file.
As a nice side-effect, a simple double-click on a .daf file in windows explorer could also open
DIAdem and automatically process the data.
How can i transfer a filename to DIAdem at startup?
Note: The filename must be recognizable in the autostart script, and there must be a way
to examine IF a file was given as a parameter.

Hi Manfred,
Here are a couple of hacks you might be able to put together to get to where you are trying to get: First it is possible to hack the registry to start the program you want to start when a file with a given extension is double clicked from the explorer. Second it is possible to set a variable in DIAdem from the comand line.
Hacking the registry (You should only do this if you really know what you're doing. Just playing around could really mess up your system.)
1.) Open regedit.
2.) Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and create a key called ".daf". Set its value to anything you want -- I suggest "daffile"
3.) Also in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT create a key called "daffile" (or whatever you chose in step 2 for the value).
4.) In the new daffile key create a key called "shell".
5.) In the new shell key create a key called "Open" (or whatever you want). The name of this key will be used by explorer in the context menu item for files of this type.
6.) In the new Open key create a key called "command".
7.) Set the value of this key "command" to the startup command for DIAdem. Using the start up string you suggested below, this would be "C:\Programme\National Instruments\DIAdem 9.1\DIADEM.exe" "/CScriptStart('"E:\DIAdemWork\Manni01.vbs"')"
In the command key, %1 can be used to represent the file that was clicked. You could theoretically set a DIAdem variable to the file name using this fact. The command line argument would probably look something like /CT1:=%1. (in the old AUT autosequence syntax.) Then you can access the variable that you set using this in your script. I haven't tried the command line out, so you'll probably have to tweak it a bit. I'm pretty sure you can send two commands in the command line.
The drawback to this approach is that it will probably always start a new DIAdem and not open your file in a DIAdem which is already open.
Hope that helps,
Myrle
P.S. Have you considered writing a VBS DataPlugin to read your file format? Simple ASCII files are usually dead easy to write DataPlugins for. Then you could use the file system inside of DIAdem to browse, and drag and drop from the Navigator into the Portal would automatically work. The documentation for the DataPlugin API can be found here: http://www.ni.com/diadem/dataplugins.htm
For tips and tricks on creating VBScript DataPlugins go to http://dataplugins.blogspot.com.

Is batch automation possible in lightroom?

I'm converting about 800 pictures from color to black and white for a bible study that will be printed . Ive tried several ways of converting using modes and techniques I found on other sites in photoshop but wasnt happy with results. These pictures are of landscapes and people. They all seemed either fuzzy or detail was lost so I decided to give Lightroom a try. I found lots of presets in the adobe marketplace for b & w conversion and wanted to know if batch automation was possible once I found one that I was happy with.

WMMinistry wrote:
Which preset works best for black and white conversion of portraits?
That will depend on each image really, just experiment to find the one that works best for your purposes, it will depend on the file type as well - some are developed for raw and others for jpeg or tiff files. You can undo the application of a preset easily withe the usual undo command. Try testing on a Virtual Copy of one image.

Half-pedaling through automation possible ?

Hi,
I just bought a sustain pedal for my keyboard, and off course it's either off or on.
Is it possible by using automation ........... or any other method .................. to 'suggest' half-pedalling ?
By that, I mean that the sustain sound is partially reduced but not completely gone.
Thanks,
Kay.

I just opened the box containing the update CD to check out the User Manual. and it simply says that there's a button which activates the Half Pedalling feature ( on one of the interfaces naturally ) and that if my MIDI controller supports a continuous damper pedal, I can explore the expressive capability of this style of pedalling.
My keyboard (STudioLogic 990) has one jack socket for a sustain pedal so I guess that's OK, but I guess as you first suggested, I'll need to change this pedal for a more advanced one. I bought the VFP 1/25 from Fatar, thinking it would match my Fatar keyboard !
Thanks for your help. I'll watch the youtube video in a little while.

Is even simple automation possible

in our workplace we now need to:
1 find a file
2 double click it
3 select automations under Metadata
4 click "Send proxy to FTP"
5 click save changes
2 automation clicks is all that is needed. Is there ANY way to automate this rather than doing it all by hand. Apple, can you make FCS scriptable PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, a manual "automation" is requiring those steps. I've tried to add a tickbox in the list view or in the thumbnail view, or in the first page after double click (Asset metadata), but I couldn't do it.
To organically fit your "automation" in a workflow could be done at the time of ingestion (assuming you'd already know from which assets you'd want to send the proxy to an FTP).
Create an ingest-and-send-proxy-to-ftp watch folder and create a watcher followed by a subscription to get your proxy to the FTP fully automated.
You could also consider some scripting outside of Final Cut Server using the XML-write / XML-read principle. At the time of ingestion you could have FCS to automatically write an xml. Whenever you need the proxy to be sent to the FTP, your external script could send a read-xml to FCS with a trigger to upload the proxy to FTP.
What I'd like to know from you is how did you get: "Automations under Metadata" and "Send proxy to FTP"?
Is "Automations" a metadata group custom made by your administrator? and is "Send proxy to FTP" one of the automations created by the administrator?
And finally: the action "Send Proxy to FTP", how is it done? Is this done by a script which is getting the proxy file and duplicating this to the FTP, or is it done by copying the file to FTP with the transcode setting for the proxy file (i.e. recreating rather than duplicating)?
Thanks, Henk

Any Automation possible in oracle project module through customization

Hi,
Anybody aware of any customization in oracle project module.We have some customized requirements from users
i.e..1)Can we update the status of task once it is completed.2)When we create the dependency and in case change in schedule does system changes the date of dependent task automatically.

Can Automation be used to send User-defined CC's to Environment objects?

Hi, this is probably a really dumb question but I'll ask it anyway:
I've bought a controller-environment for a synth (Alphajuno2, PG300 programmer) for Logic, the faders in the environment layer use sysex to communicate with the synth.
Apparently it is possible to map an external midi-controller to these environment-faders, and that's all and fine, but what I'm after is a method of using automation to control the environment-faders. How would I go about doing it?
I've only ever really automated some volume changes or plugin parameter changes, I've not yet automated faders in the environment, so how would I go about doing it?
Would I create a fader which I'd link to the sysex-sending fader, and automate the fader, or maybe an environment-monitor (and add it to the arranger) and somehow configure a set of CC#'s to be automated with that arranger object, and then just cable them up to the various Sysex-sending faders (I do know enough to be able to set the input of those sysex-faders to match the CC#'s which the automation would be sending).
Is this kind of "User-defined CC#'s in Automation" possible? How should I go about it?
Message was edited by: esaruoho to further clarify it

Is it just because there is currently no way whatsoever of Automation CC, and I should have known to use Hyper Draw to talk to an Environment object directly, which would then be connected to the Faders of choice?

Crystal Designer Automation

Process chain status shows incorrect status

When ever i receive bad data requests from R/3, BW pulls the error requests into a separate PSA and pass-thru the good once in another PSA and then into datatarget.
However the overall status is green for the job/package and the package when executed in ProcessChain does not show an errors. But the errors are not noticed until user notices it in the qyuery.
How to capture such errors and notified, is their any automation possible? I have setup e-mail on process chain failures but these kind of errors are not captured because the overall status of request is GREEN.
Here is the status on infopackage.
Incorrect data records - error requests (total status GREEN)
Diagnosis
Data records were recognized as incorrect.
System response
The valid records were updated in the data target and can be used in reporting.
The incorrect records were not written to the data target, but were posted retractively under a new request number in the PSA.
Procedure
Check the data in the error requests, correct the errors, and post the error requests.

Hi Gopikrishna,
Please check if "Error Handling" in the Update Tab of your Infopackage has been enabled, I guess it is.
If this has been enabled , then the error recs will be isolated and only the Correct records will be posted into the Data Target. It is the responsibility of the BW Administrator to identify such errored records, correct them and Post it back to the DAta target. Because error handling is used, the Monitor will show Green, as all the error recs have been separated.
To avoid this, you have to remove Error Handling from the INfopackage, then you will see the Load failing and the Process Step in the process chain would turn RED with the corresponding error messages.
Regards,
Praveen.

Start InfoPackage in dialog mode using BAPI

Hi all,
I need to start an InfoPackage in the dialog mode using ABAP coding report. The InfoPackage has to load data from a csv-file from the Client-Substation, therefore it can be started only in dialog mode (Start Data Load Immediately is chosen in Schedule tab).
I use BAPI_IPAK_START functional module for this purpose. But I receive an error An upload from the client workstation in the background is not possible, and a message InfoPackage ZPAK_EUSCSC3BAGELE4JAI3HRM5PHJ could not be started by Bapi_ipak_start.
It seems that BAPI_IPAK_START tries to start InfoPackage in the background, regardless of choosing Start Data Load Immediately option.
It is possible to start InfoPackage in the dialog using BAPI?
Thank you.

Your problem is, that an Infopackage can only use local files, while it is attached to a running dialog. It has to access your local disc to get the data. If you want to use the Infopackage in a process chain you have to transfer your file to a location where the application server has access. The BAPI_IPAK_START just starts the Infopackage. It does not know where your local environment is, so it cannot find your local disc and cannot access the file.
You have to options:
1. Use your local file and start the infopackage by hand. No automation possible.
2. Put the file somewhere where you can find it via transaction AL11. Then you can access this file without trouble.
Kind regards,
Jürgen

Auto update iPhoto to show aperture photos

I shoot in raw and use aperture to manage all my files. I have iLife 09 also and like the faces and places functions.
Is there any way of being able to open iPhoto and it automatically pulls all changes from my aperture library including any new imports? Ideally I'd like each aperture project as an event in iPhoto.
I know how to show my aperture library but that involves importing new events manually and I've heard there has been issues of iphoto not bringing metadata in with the photos, which would be vital as I geotag my photos before bringing them into aperture.
Regards

The problem is when you use the File -> Show Aperture Library command in iPhoto you’re not accessing the files only their Aperture previews.
The only way to do this is to export from Aperture - writing the metadata to the files along the way - then import into iPhoto.
There is some automation possible - if you can export to a Folder on the desktop then you can set an app like Hazel to watch that folder, and, on noting changes to automatically import to iPhoto (and trash afterwards).
My own take: Don’t bother. It never occurred to the developers of Aperture that it would have a wide usage outside the Pro setting. It never occurred to them that folks would want two-way communication between Aperture and iPhoto. My guess is that Places will be added to Aperture in the near future.

Visio Automatically Link new data doesn't work

Hi,
I setup an orgchart using Visio 2010 and is connected to an Excel. Now, I am going to refresh the orgchart with newly added data (clicking "Refresh All"), I can see the data, but when I "Automatically Link" the data, the newly added data
doesn't add/link to the orgchart. How can I make this automation possible?
Thanks in advance. Your help would be greatly appreciated!

Data refresh does not add any new objects within visio. It will only update existing objects. If data is added to an orgchart source the drawing must be recreated.

Phone unintentionally connects to the internet

Hi, my Nokia C5 is always connecting to the internet for some reason.
I have uninstalled all applications that I had (gmail, opera, mail for exchange) but it still
connects and doesnt close the connection. It sends only small amount of data but it
really **bleep** me off. I checked sync and other automated possible updates with no luck
Is there a way how to check WHAT is connecting? I dont want to reinstall the phone but
probably will have to.
I have the latest firmware.
Thanks a lot!

No, its not under maps. I dont have the same phone so I cant point it out exactly to you. In my phone (5800) its Menu>Settings>Phone>Application Settings>Positioning>Positioning Methods. In your phone it should be somewhere under Menu>Tools>Settings>...Not sure afterwards. Anyway, disable A-GPS and network based positioning and you wont get the connection. However getting a fix will take longer at times. Even reaching times of up to 15min before a fix.
If you find my post helpful please click the green star on the left under the avatar. Thanks.

One Form...Multiple Documents?

In the hopes of streamlining/consolidating certain forms within my office, I have been tasked with creating a single form which will generate two subsequent (new) forms or documents for different purposes of notification.
Case in point: I have been asked to take what is known as a Transaction Completion Form, and create a single form which will then generate
an Invoice (instead of the separate document which our secretary now creates)
a Listing Update Notification (which is now generated orally or by e-mail)
Is it possible to have my brokers complete the single new form, and then have that information automatically generate the two subsequent forms once they submit the initial form?
I am more comfortable working in either Word or Excel and then converting to Acrobat; but I can go from scratch in Acrobat if necessary.
Any suggestions would be quite appreciated. Thank you.

Mmmmaybe. I will have to play with that.
I suppose what I really want is for my brokers to fill in their form on their individual PC screen...do a save as...I get the responses (as I do with a completely different form/report) in my inbox...but *additionally* I get the other two documents I mentioned in my OP, with all of the info automatically filled in based on what my brokers entered in the single form they completed. My brokers would never see the second and third documents at all, just me.
Is that type of automation possible --without having to learn to code (which I've been telling myself to do for 25 years)?
