Logic 8 and Groove Agent 3 - how the **** do they work?

I feel a real idiot writing this. Please bear with me.
I first purchased Groove Agent 1 when I was using Cubase 4 on a Pismo Powerbook. Everything was simple straight-forward and relatively intuitive. Then I bought an Intel iMac, Logic 7 and Groove Agent 2 - which turned out to be incompatible with Intel Macs. Two or three years later Steinberg finally brought out Groove Agent 3 so I paid for it and upgraded to Logic Studio 8.
I have had it for about a year and have STILL not worked out how to get Groove Agent to even show up, let alone work.
Can anyone tell me if Groove Agent is a plugin or a software instrument? It doesn't show up as a proper option anywhere. It shows up and is selectable as an INPUT on a midi track but nothing ever happens.
I have spent days falling asleep over the Apple Logic User's Manual and cannot find out how to select Groove Agent as an instrument or as an output or as ANYTHING that will produce drums sounds off a midi track!

Don't worry - I have found the answer!
Simply go to the AU manager in Logic Express 8 and revalidate Groove Agent 3.0.2.14. It takes a while, and for a long time it seems like it's going nowhere, but it works in the end!

I recently formatted my computer. In other words, I'm not using too much memory of my HD. My Memory Ram is 8GB.

Umm,, no offence... but what is ridiculous... is you didn't troubleshoot the original problem but instead you assumed it was a LP9 problem so you updated to LPX which is still in its early days and is likely to be less stable than LP9... rather than more so!
So.. Here's the thing....
LP9 was working fine and then stopped working normally according to you. Therefore what changed at the time LP9 stopped working normally?
Here are just a few ideas to think about.. for around the time this started..
Did you update Logic Pro 9... OS X... Drivers for Midi/Audio or other connected devices?
If you did, did you then restore from a backup you made prior to these problems occuring and what happened when you did so? (assuming you do make backups of your system?)
Did you install any new Apps on your Mac?
Did you add a new Hard Drive? How is it formatted?
Did you start recording or creating music in a different way to how you used to before the problem started?
Have you started using a different SI or FX plugin or plugins.. More or different FX for example.. Did you install a new version of a plugin?
Is all your software legal? (Have to ask because some people install all kinds of illegal plugins and whatever else.. and have no idea how the 'cracks' work or what they might affect/mess up/conflict with in the process)
Have you looked at the System logs to see if anything is happening out of the ordinary when you get these messages?
Have you looked at OS X's Activity monitor to see if any app or routine is kicking in hard when you get this issue?
Basically, you need to think about and look for what changed... because something apparently changed to suddenly cause these issues...given you said you didn't have them until a certain timeframe and some of the questions above, I hope, will get you thinking..
....and maybe a few of the others here will come up with other ideas and suggestions to help you...
Good luck and let us know how you got on...

Does anyone know how the cutout filter works and is there a way of achieving the same effect without using filters to get more control over final look?

does anyone know how the cutout filter works and is there a way of achieving the same effect without using filters to get more control over final look?

Several ways to get similar results. Image > Adjustments > Posturize with low values similar to what you'd use n Cutout. This is the most flexible way I can think of as you keep the image in RGB mode with layers intact. A more radical approach would be to reduce bit depth using Indexed Colour. You'll need to experiment with settings, try changing Forced to Primaries, and Matte to Foreground Color. There's no going back from this route, although you can change the mode back to RGB to re-enable layers, adjustment layers etc.
A nice thing about the Filter gallery filters is that you can change the layer to a Smart object with all the control that gives you.
Now if only this forum could filter out bizarre content.

I added Panorama Group Tabs and I don't like the way it works. I want to remove it but can't find or figure out a way to. Can you please tell me how it can be removed permanently? Thanks!

That link doesn't tell you how to remove the Panoroma Tab Groups!! My main issue with it is that along my tabs at the top I no longer have the tab to open a new tab. Instead I have to click on the tab groups and then open them and click on an open area in the tab to get a new tab opened!! Is there a way to add that? I don't see that when I go to customize the tool bar as there's no icon to add it, just one to open a new window, which I don't want to do!! Thanks!!

Is there a good "Sticky note app that ACTUALLY put a Sticky Note on my iPad ( over my existing wallpaper images) on either the Home or Lock screens like how the Stickies app works on a Mac?

I have an iPad 3.
I tried two, One was a worthless piece of junk I wasted $2.99 on and the other is pretty good ($1.99) except is does not do a function I would like to use as advertised ( which is to create a sticking note that works like an app by creating an icon sized version of the original created sticky note, then clicking on an app icon size version of the originally created sticky note that you can tap on like an app and a large sticky note is supposed to appear. This does NOT work with an iPad.
Does anyone use a Stickies app for IOS that works exactly like how the Stickies app works on a Mac?
What good is a Stickies note app on iOS when it cannot put actual virtual stickies notes over the main IOS screens and wallpapers and remain there until they are no longer needed?
Does any one use a good stickies app on iPad? NOT iPhone or iPod Touch.

It really cannot be done in iOS due to the sandboxed security model of the operating system. No app can modify the "desktop" like that - they can only display their own "virtual" desktop when actually actively in use. so any stickie note app is the same as any simple note app - it must be open and active to display content. It cannot modify any screen but it's own when active.

How the cache.invoke() works?

Hi, I am trying to play with the coherence 3.4.2 to find out how the cache.invoke() works. I modified the SimpleCacheExplorer.java coming as the example code as following:
1) I defined a distributed cache as following:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cache-config SYSTEM "cache-config.dtd">
<cache-config>
<caching-scheme-mapping>

<cache-mapping>
<cache-name>*</cache-name>
<scheme-name>default-dist</scheme-name>
</cache-mapping>
</caching-scheme-mapping>
<caching-schemes>

<distributed-scheme>
<scheme-name>default-dist</scheme-name>
<service-name>DistributedCache</service-name>
<backing-map-scheme>
<class-scheme>
<scheme-ref>default-backing-map</scheme-ref>
</class-scheme>
</backing-map-scheme>
</distributed-scheme>

<class-scheme>
<scheme-name>default-backing-map</scheme-name>
<class-name>com.tangosol.util.SafeHashMap</class-name>
</class-scheme>
</caching-schemes>
</cache-config>
2) I modified the SimpleCacheExplorer.java as following:
class MyProcessor extends com.tangosol.util.processor.AbstractProcessor
private static final long serialVersionURD = 8004040647128795431L;
private String cacheName = null;
public MyProcessor(String cacheName)
this.cacheName = cacheName;
public Object process(Entry entry)
NamedCache cache = CacheFactory.getCache(cacheName);
cache.clear();
return null;
public class SimpleCacheExplorer {
* Entry point.
* @param asArg command line arguments
public static void main(String[] asArg)
throws Exception
          NamedCache cache = CacheFactory.getCache("Test");
          cache.put("1", "one");
     cache.invoke("1", new MyProcessor("Test"));
     System.out.println("cache size = " + cache.size());
3) Then I got the following exception:
com.tangosol.util.AssertionException: poll() is a blocking call and cannot be called on the Service thread
Is there a way I can do the cache clear in the invocation way?
Thanks

The EntryProcessors operate against a particular Entry and usually executes on the node where the entry is stored. What you can do is to remove the particular entry this entryprocessor is aimed at by calling entry.remove()
Here is a modified entry processor that removes an entry.
class MyProcessor extends com.tangosol.util.processor.AbstractProcessor
private static final long serialVersionURD = 8004040647128795431L;
public MyProcessor() {}
public Object process(Entry entry)
    if (entry.isPresent())
       entry.remove(false);
return null;
}Getting a hold of the CacheFactory while executing an EntryProcessor is a re-entrant call in to the DistributedCacheService which is rendering the exception.

Can anyone tell me how the Status Profile works in relation to BP's...

Can anyone tell me how the Status Profile works in relation to BP's...
For example, how can I view a particular status that a BP has, and can a BP have more than one status against a status profile. Also what date/time details are set when a status is changed?.
Can anyone help with this?.
Jas

Arap,
Many thanks for the info. As with all these posts, you do your best to try and find out yourself, fail, then raise a question on a site like this. As soon as you do the answer(s) become clear.
I've found transactions BS02 which shows Status Profiles, and associated status.
The Order/transaction holds the status set and can be extracted using the FM/Program CRM_ORDER_READ and using the ET_STATUS table.
That's what I was mainly after.
Many thanks for your help.
Jas

How the star schema works

How the star schema works Make A Simple Query Show me the revenue for customers located in Sacramento for the Material Group Electronics in the month of October - Sequence the order of execution
a.     Access the Fact Table
i.     Select all the records in the Fact table which have meets the given criteria
b.     Access the Dimension Table
i.     Access the customer dimension table and select all the records with city =Sacramento
ii.     Access the material dimension table and select all the records with Group =Electronics
iii.     Access the Time dimension table and select all the records with Month =October

Kutti,
Your explanation is in the opposite way -
access the Dimension tables and find the relevant DIM IDS for the given conditions --> search for the DIM IDs in the fact ...
You cannot hit the fact directly since the DIM IDs will not be the same as SIDs unless you are talking about line item dimensions...
best way is to have a query on a cube - execute it through RSRT and in the execute and debug option - select "Display SQL Query" and there you can see the query being run..

How the transactional replication work for simple recovery database (looking for some internal concept)

How the transactional replication work for simple recovery database (looking for some internal concept)
Rahul

There seems to be a new myth going around recently. I’ve had at least three people tell me, in the last month, that SQL’s transactional replication requires the database to be in full recovery.
This is complete fabrication. Replication (SQL native replication, that is) can work with the databases in any of the recovery models.
Transactional replication does involve the transaction log, as that’s where it picks up changes from. The log reader scans over the transaction log looking for log records marked for replication, copies those to the distribution database and then marks them
as replicated. When the checkpoint (for simple recovery) or log backup (for full or bulk logged) occur, the log will only be truncated up to the oldest inactive, replicated transaction.
Because transactional replication has its own way of ensuring log records aren’t discarded before been picked up by the log reader, there’s no requirement for a specific recovery model.

Most of the current Apple Intel based computers are comparable in CPU speed. I don't think it is so much the model of laptop as it is the memory, and storage capacity of the machine. If you are going to use FCP on a regular basis, perhaps as a professional or semi-professional, then you should think about the maximum memory and a very large capacity internal disk drive. For instance, one hour of finished compressed video will take up about 1.5 to 2Gbytes of disk space. If you add up the raw footage and still imagery and audio, you'll use up your disk drive capacity real quick. So a hard disk on the order of 750Gbytes @ 7200rpms might be good for video editing. 5400RPMs might be slow to rendering times. Rendering a video might take up a lot of memory so more memory is better e.g. 8Gbytes.
As a rule of thumb, once you get to about 80% of your disk drive or memory you'll see degradation of performance.
You can check out macsales.com. THey have a menu system that will allow you to pick and choose from various alternatives. BTW, it's been said that although Macs are typically spec'd at a certain memory size, macsales.com found that Apple computers will actually support higher memory levels. That is, if 4Gbytes are spec'd, some machines support 6Gbytes. macsales.com will provide the guidance for you.
You might also consider buying an external disk e.g. 500Gbytes to carry around with you for back-up or transport to another machine.
