Project Manager? How do you all use it?

Hi. Im new to the project manager. It seems as if it could be of benefit to me using it to organise my sessions. What is it for and how do you use it. I have read the manual but want some personal feedback. Thanks, Ben

in theory, the PM keeps tabs on all the files used/made in your sessions.
sorta like a dedicated version of spotlight.
the initial scan takes a while, but then all your audio, midi and patches are in one place after that.
i do a PM scan before and after each important session.
PM can miss stuff, so if you've just added a new sample lib, or tracked some vox for eg., it's a good idea to scan just the audio file section of the tree on the left.
similar with new esx instruments, songs, etc.
the find function allows you to see all clips that meet with the critera set and i use that to check for copies, duplicates, redundant files, etc.
you can also edit any files PM finds. in this way, it's like a bigger, better version of the audio window.
it's too bigger subject to go into too much more detail here, but sufficed to say, i have a lot less trouble with logic finding things if PM is kept up to date.

How do you start using calendar?

How do you start using calendar? Adding dates,etc?

One concept that is not described well is that your Calendar display is the Union of all the available Calendars selected. You can have lots of calendars open, and the events from each and every one will be shown in the summary Calendar display -- sort of like they were on transparencies overlaid on each other.
Where you put your Master Calendar depends if you want to share your Master Calendar across multiple devices or other Users.
The default calendar you "just create" is strictly private -- not available on any other device or any other User.
To create a shareable Master Calendar, you need to set up an account on a calendar sharing site that is visible on the Internet -- not likely to be your home Mac. You can use Google calendar, Yahoo Calendar, iCloud calendar, any Server that uses CalDav, Microsoft Exchange, and others. Once established that Master Calendar can be accessed from anywhere on the Internet through another computer, an iPhone, or other "smart" devices.

How do you start using passbook?

How do you start using passbook?

Thx NJ,
I have been using Apple products since 1983, and I too am embarassed.
This is not an APP I need at all right now and I think I will wait until it is fixed so that I and others do not have to do all those silly work-a-rounds.
I am baffled that Apple let this "Failbook" out.
Thx Again to all

How do you preview using a spool request number

How do you preview using a spool request number?
I have an application in which I have accumulated the results from several smartforms into one spool request. I have the spool request number, and am printing it using function RSPO_RPRINT_SPOOLREQ.
I need to be able to preview the contents of the spool request before printing. I can not preview when generating the smartforms, as that involves several previews, and I need to preview once only per spool request.
I have been trying to use RSPO_RDISPLAY_OUTREQ but it dumps immediately (line 47) with field symbol <FTSP01> not assigned.

CrashPlanPROe, the enterprise version, is $60 per year per client, not $50 per month, so it may be worth looking into. It's what we run and it's been working very well for us, though you need a central server to run the software. That server can be Windows, Mac OS X, Linux or Solaris, any of which will work with any of the supported clients:

IMovie crashed, lost project. How do you SAVE in iMovie? Where's the file?

Just spent 4-5 hours building a complicated movie from a year's worth of footage. At some point, iMovie crashed. I think I lost all those hours of creative decision making, since I cannot see the file when I reopen iMovie.
There is no "open" command in the file menu. There is no "save" command in the file menu.
This would imply that Apple was autosaving for me to save me trouble. Hmm. I can save in almost every program I use, and revert, and save versions.
How do you save a project in iMovie? I don't see save in the file menu, as has been the steadfast tradition of Apple applications since I purchased my first Mac in 1984. What in the blazes have you done with SAVE? It is so basic.
Along the same line, where is the project file located on my hard drive? I would like to open it. Since I assume you have been autosaving to somewhere, could you please let me know where my file is saved.
<Edited by Host>

This just appeared to happen to me too. I tried clicking on the file in Movies/iMovie Projects. That didn't work.
Then, I made a copy of the file in a safe place. I noticed it was 2.2 MB, so something had to be in there. Next, I started iMovie and clicked the Project Library arrow. The project was listed there. I opened it and got back most but not all of the work. It lost a lot of my audio changes. Here's the thing. I worked until about midnight, and then left iMovie up and running til noon. You would think it would have autosaved the changes by the time I came back. I suggest making your own copy of the file now and then, just in case.

Project Manager: How to include the Trash as an Exclude Path

I'm delving deep into the wonders of the Project Manager. Wondering if there's any way to add the Trash (on any drive) as an "exclude path" so that I can prevent the PM from going 'dumpster diving' for files in there.
While on the subject of trash (OT) I really miss the OS9 trash scheme where you had an actual desktop icon for the trash. Also, when you'd open the trash in OS9 to see what was in there, a tally of the total MB/GB of trashed files would be displayed in the finder window. But not in OSX (why?!?!). Anyway, does anyone know how to achieve either a desktop icon and/or a file-size count of trashed items in OSX?
Thanks, and Happy New Year!

Surrrrrrre Dahlin'.
Somebody in this forum said, it's the time of Red Red Wine.
I am following this advice. Wait, is that party over already?
Truly, the PM being as powerful of a tool it is, sometimes needs our (human) input to get it back in shape. Even the PM preferences DO GET STALE over time.
One SI after another started to load really slow over here. Sometimes I even had multiple choices from where to take the samples from. Now I know, that I have some duplicates with all my drives attached, but PM designs a structure regarding where to look first. So, I re-scanned those folders concerned. Sure enough, no more "duplicates" messages and loading time was great again. Except for files I did not access since a long time, or files I never loaded.
Yes, I trashed my PM preferences (user/library/preferences/Logic PMData).
Did go to Window > Project Manager > Functions > Expanded Scan, with all my drives attached.
Then I went to bed.
The next morning, I saved the PM data, quit LP, restarted my computer and... voilá: EXS loading times are up to speed again.
All under the influence of Red Red Wine.
It works well.
Summary:
Set up as explained above, go to sleep and be amazed about the power of the PM.
No punishment involved.

How do you all schedule iterative "rework"

This deals with anticipated iterative "events" in a
Schedule.
We are an electric
utility and one of our hard spots is scheduling re-work.
For example, we route a path for a transmission line so
that we can survey, permit, and enter into negotions for
easement acquistion. A number of things can happen during
negotiations but often times there are requests to
"re-route" or move a pole location which leads to
unplanned design work.
Anyhow this
can happen a number of times on longer lines and I'd like
to capture the effort(s) so I'm curious how you all might
handle these in a schedule. This does fall into "Change
Management" but we don't use Contract Manager.<br
/>
Thanks,
Patrick

One way is to add a new WBS for each Change Request
and add new activities under this WBS for the re-work,
assign resources and budgets to these and re-jig the
relationships between these and the pre-existing
activities.
By creating a new
WBS for each Change Request you can track the impact
of each Change Request to the cost and the
schedule.
I know this is
painful, but it works.
Cheers

Performance Manager - How to purge ALL metrics?

Is there a way that I can purge all the metrics within Performance Manager without having to go and select one metric item at a time and purging it?

Hi Gavin,
Via DM, selecting individual metrics and purging them is the only way, and as per desribed in the post above.
However, though not recommended at all, and should be done with extreme caution... You can truncate the CI_PROBE_VALUES table in the repository, but you will also need to update the CI_PROBE table by setting the refresh dates again. This process also entails stoping the AAxxx servers and restarting them after you truncated and updated the tables. Again CAUTION, but it can be done.
Then, there is the other way using the PMDT tool. Again you need to understand how and what it is capable of. You will export all the assets to the XML files. Remove the universe(s) in the setup tab and add it again. Then import the XML files with the assets again into the repository. Remember, removing the universe(s) is as good as reseting the repository...
Also, depending to what extent you are using EPM, choose these methods carefully. Else start clicking away and purging them individually...
Regards
Jacques

Feature Request: Project Manager Trim Compatibility with all formats please!

It's 2013, Premiere Pro CC is out, and is more "Final Cut Pro" than ever (thanks Adobe), but there are still some basic things that need to be fixed. This is a DOOZY!...
With DSLR media being used pretty much everywhere, the inability to created trimmed projects using Project Manager for H.264 clips (and GoPro clips, and more!) is simply insane. Seriously?
Help me Adobe.... please...
thanks
jesse

Actually, Kevin works right across the San Francisco Bay from where I live. So yes, he is here in the USA.
You will occasionally get some answers around here from people with Indian names, but we are happy to have them on the forums.
The conversation about how to deal with the various codecs has been going on for some time, and the more people who request the feature, the more likely they will get it done. I don't like to say that the squeeky wheel gets the grease, but pretty much? It does!
I know they are thinking about it because of some of the comments I have seen and emails I have received. It appears to be fairly complicated, but personally, I think it is well worth the effort.
I would like to be able to ingest subclips from Prelude without transcoding (I don't use Prelude because it is useless to me without this feature). Once ingested, if I only use part of a clip, I want it trimmed in the Project Manager to just the footage I might need in the future if I have to make minor adjustments. And yes, that includes handles. So if handles solve part of the problem, that's fine.

Project Manager - How do I delete a volume?

Project Manager - i just rescanned everything - and set it to exclude drive2 volume
- then I noticed after - an old drive2 was previously in there - I don't want it in the list anymore...
- how do I delete it from browse mode.....?

So you really want to delete the PM database file from the drive?
USE WITH CAUTION AND AT YOUR OWN RISK
plop this into Terminal:
rm -i -v /Volumes/volumename/Logic7\ PM\ Database
press enter
If the file is correct,
press y
volumename is your volume - formatted for use in Terminal

From Product Management: How do you clone your installation

I'm interested in what approaches you take for cloning a production Forms/Middleware environment. So you've done one install, but you need x number of instances set up. How do you do it?
Manual install each time?
Some clever copying of files?
Some other solution?
Please let me know (including version number),how easy/painful it is, and also whether you think the ability to clone an installation would be something that would be useful to you.
thanks

Edited by: Grant Ronald on Jun 27, 2012 12:10 PM

Hello Grant,
I am just in the process of migrating a load-balanced OAS 10g Forms+Reports environment with many applications to 11g, and I think that the cloning facility of 10g is really missing now. Until now I have not missed it much because I have mainly upgraded customers with at most 2 nodes, but now I have to do a 4 node installation, and that is much more work without good cloning facilities.
What I plan to do to make the cloning as easy as possible is the following:
- I first install all software (JDK, WebLogic and Forms-Reports 11.1.2) in the middleware home
- Then I configure a domain+instance: I create the domain and instance files all outside the middleware home (only possible with 11.1.2 installer) on one node
- I configure all applications on it
- Then I just copy the middleware home (+ inventory) to the other nodes (using shared storage for it is also an option)
- Then I configure a new domain on each node. Although this seems overhead (compared to expanding an existing domain/cluster) it is easier to make identical nodes
- For Forms configuration I have to create all custom .env files on each node using EM (I have not found out how to register these to the MBean without EM)
- Then I shutdown the WLS_FORMS and copy formsweb.cfg and all .env files from the first node
- Other files that may need to be copied: webutil.cfg, base html files (if modified), jvmcontroller.cfg, custom jar-files and dll-files (for webutil)
- For Reports we do a similar thing: we only use stand-alone reportsservers, so copying the rwserver.conf, rwservlet.properties, rwnetwork.conf and custom font (ttf) files does it
Although this does not seem too much work, it has the disadvantage that you really need a multi-step description of the cloning process, while in previous releases a single step cloning could be performed by anybody. And it is easier to make mistakes and and up with differences in the nodes.
I worked on a large project with multiple OAS 10.1.3 nodes, and the cluster facility in that version was great. Any config changes were propagated to all nodes.
I think it would be a great idea to have the following functionality in Forms 12:
- Expand a Forms cluster should also clone all configuration (also of copies of formsapp for those who deploy a formsapp per Forms application).
A nice-to-have would be to give the option to create more than 1 Forms cluster in a domain.
- Give EM FMW Control the ability (as in 10.1.3) to change a configuration property of all members of a cluster in one go (but allow differences)
Hope this helps you for the strategy for the next geneartion of Forms.

How do you effectively use WSUS/Windows Updates in a mobile/laptop environment?

Hey everyone, I have a question about properly using WSUS and/or Windows Update to properly patch laptops. We provide our users with laptops and a large number of them work from home throughout the week. We want to make sure they're being properly updated,
but also make sure we can control what updates are installed on the machines. It's my understanding that it is against the EULA to make a WSUS server available to the outside world. To me, this leaves a weird gap within the Windows Update world where you either
get all updates from Microsoft's servers or you get updates only when you're onsite at your business.
I found a neat utility graciously created by the developer(s) of ABC-Deploy, called ABC-Update. This provides a utility to install, uninstall, update, or filter out any updates you wish. You can even have it run against your WSUS server. You could create a
script that runs as a scheduled task to run against WSUS when you're onsite (assuming you have a static public IP) or against Microsoft Update (and filtering out the updates using the /K option). Not perfect, but it seems to do an OK job. My worry is the list
of updates you'd have to filter out using the /K option could become rather large.
I was wondering what everyone else does to properly patch their mobile/laptop environments?
If there's no good solution, I'd love to get in contact with someone at Microsoft to work on this.

Do check with MS on that EULA thing. It sounds strange that it is against EULA assuming you require client authentication when accessing published WSUS server. I have also seen several blog posts from MS describing publishing procedure (for example
this one from WSUS support blog)
Otherwise, I'm affraid, there is no "lightweight" way to do this without using third party soft or doing some programming of your own. One option is using System Center Configuration Manager to manage windows updates. It does support management
of clients over internet, but requires deployment of a number of new servers and services in your network. Another option is deploying direct access in your environment to provide client computers with seemless connection to corporate network. In this case
you can use WSUS to manage updates and collect statistic, while clients can be configured to downloads update content from the internet.

Project Manager will not collect all files and Start a Complete New Project

As editor of several projects consisting of multiple terrabytes of footage, it's very important to me to be able to use the project manager to collect all files and start a new project. However, this is not happening!! After I've completely finished a project I should be able to save a new "trimmed" project in the desired location of choice. When I use this feature with PrPro CS 4.2.1 - I only get a partial trimmed project that when opened asks where are the missing files. I've also tried using the project manager to collect all files and move to a new location. Again, only a part of my project is being moved!!!! Earlier versions of the PpPro had no problems with this function. I've got two systems and both of them are identical in actions. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
BBTv

How can one do that if each project has thousands of pieces of video, text templates, music scores, photoshop documents, after effect files and so on? The number of different folders per project is almost mind boggling. Any help at all in a quick fix or update or anything would be greatly appreciated. I don't have any problem with my other editing programs and have run earlier versions of PrPro that had no problems with collecting all the files within a project and exporting them to a new location throught project manager either in trimmed or full projects. I really hate to have to start using Final Cut again because of such an easy issue. I know I'm overlooking something and any help would be greatly appreciated.

How do you add/use typekit fonts that are not edge web fonts?

I am just trying out the new Muse CC 2014.1 (August) release and was keen to try the new font facilities. As far as I can see that while I can now add other fonts for which I have downloaded web font files via the Self Hosted Web Fonts function, Typekit fonts that are not "Adobe Edge Web Fonts" are effectively unavailable? Have I missed something.
As an example I want to use the Proxima Nova web font family. I have selected it on the type kit site, set them up to Sync via my Creative Cloud account. So for example if I select a font in Photoshop CC or Illustrator, the Proxima Nova fonts appear. Even ok in Word for Mac. They do not appear in Muse.
To add them as self hosted web fonts, I would need to physically download the relevant fonts files and install them on my desktop using the OS-X font tool. However as they are being sync'd via Creative Cloud this shouldn't be necessary should it? Also I don't see an option for doing so on the typekit site.
Any help or guidance would be very welcome.
PS: I seem to have a separate issue with the Creative Cloud app, which is not listing fonts under the Assets tab. But I don't think that is related as they are working fine for Photoshop, etc.

Hi David,
I'm sorry that you ran into trouble with this. To add fonts from Typekit to your Muse website, you will want to use the web fonts path instead of desktop fonts. (You can use a desktop font synced from Typekit in your Muse design, but it will exported as an image the same as any other system font.)
There are a couple options for using Typekit web fonts in Muse:
o) The Muse Insider wrote a post on how to insert the Typekit embed code from the Muse interface:
http://museinsider.com/how-to-add-typekit-fonts-to-your-muse-site.html
o) Or you can add the embed code to the Page Properties dialog within Muse, which will include it in the <head> of the page when you export your website. The steps are the same as this tutorial, but you will add the Typekit embed code to Muse instead of into your page directly:
TYPEKIT | Adding fonts to your site
Note that in either case the Typekit fonts will not be displayed in the Muse preview window. You'll need to publish your site to a server in order for the Typekit fonts to be loaded into the page.
If those look like more coding that you are comfortable with, you might try one of the fonts which you can select from the font menu instead. Here are some that are similar to :
https://edgewebfonts.adobe.com/fonts#/?xHeight=high&contrast=low&class=sans-serif&width=re gular
We are also working on a more complete integration of Typekit with Muse in the future, but I can't say yet when that will be available.
>> PS: I seem to have a separate issue with the Creative Cloud app, which is not listing fonts under the Assets tab. But I don't think that is related as they are working fine for Photoshop, etc.
Do you see a "loading" icon in the tab (e.g. a blue spinner wheel)? It sounds similar to this thread; you might try these suggestions:
