Who uses cProjects for IT internal projects  ?

Hi togehther,
is there someone who uses the cProjects System to handle IT-Projects?
Which templates do you use for IT-Projects?
How to start such a project?
best Regards,

Greetings.
We are  in the process of impmenting SAP Suite in our organization. I am trying to promote the use of xRPM and cProjects during the impmentation. The main reason is that we are looking for a sloution for our core activities which is related to development project fianiancing. The use of xRPM and cProjetcs will give a good chance whether this sloution is suitable for us. The other reason is to enforce good project managment discpline by utlizing cProjects stage-gate concept.
I wish to hrear from others on thier expricne of using cProects in IT projects, speciaclly for SAP realted projects.

  • Who uses STP for audio post professionally

    Who uses STP for audio post and can it be used as a alternative to high end audio editor such as protools? Im studying sound design and I completely forgot about STP and I wanna to dig a little deeper and experiment with the program so.....is it any good or shall I save up for protools???

    Let me start by saying I'm not an audio engineer but a picture editor. Having said that I feel I can shed a little light on this topic. STP is not ProTools. There are people who love STP and those that hate it. I find it useful in a couple of ways.
    1. Creating Noise Prints and reducing background sounds like AC or refrigerator. This is what I predominantly use STP for.
    2. Using the Time Stretching tool. You can change the length of an audio clip without affecting the pitch. You can also do this in FCP with a filter but sometimes I find it easier in STP.
    3. The Music Beds and Sound Effects. I find these useful whether as temp music or having more choices in SFX.
    All that I mentioned above can be done in ProTools. I find that the roundtrip between FCP and STP to be very easy which is why I use it for my needs. If you are studying sound design then my suggestion would be to become knowledgeable in as many software applications as you can. The concepts are the same just the tools are different.
    I hope this helps!

  • Anyone used Scala for a medium project?

    I'm just starting to teach myself Scala and I'm wondering if anyone here has used Scala for a medium projects (something that took more than a weekend but not more than a few weeks) ? I'm not sure what sort of programs I would use Scala for. I use C for all my lowlevel bit pushing and Python for just about everything else (including art generators and a clone of Jekyll). What itch do Archers scratch with Scala?

    I find clojure to be a more interesting jvm language than Scala, personally.

  • Who uses exs24 for drums?

    hi, ive always been aware of drum programming via exs24.....but never fully understood in depth..... how its done.....
    who uses exs24 for drums?? can you explain how you use it?
    ive loaded up a bunch of hits....across a zone.....
    but those parameters on the front of the exs24..... change the sound of the whole instrument, right?
    but say if you wanna change the sound of one kick drum? with the exs24.....
    would you have to devote the whole channel/exs24 to the ONE kick sound???
    or can you independently tweak each drum sound on each zone/key?
    im sorry, but how do i send a drum sound from exs24 to its own channel in logic mixer?
    im used to NI battery but havnt got it for the mac yet.... should i take the time out and use and learn exs24 for my drum programming?
    cheers

    that sounded like live drumming....
    thanks
    was that recorded from a live drummer, or you programme the drums in the piano roll/matrix editor?
    so when you use the exs24 for drums....you just programme in the piano roll? or record live MIDI.....
    This obviously depends from personal experience...
    I know drummers that play directly to EXS24 (or other sampler) by using MIDI trigger pads... (such as Roland Pad drums)
    I know professional drummer that make session over the web for work
    I'm a Piano player and i prefer to use my keyboard or... depends.. if I need to add juas a Crash Cynbals on the down beat I can also use to add direct in the piano roll and copy the same over the song
    everything depends from the target that you want reach...
    programming drums via midi is not much different tha other instruments parts
    every professional musician has his personal business secrets, obtained with the experience of his work.
    so you have one drum sound per exs24 in a single stero track?
    Yes, single tracks of single stereo samples in the 80% of cases...
    I also use various Samples that I select by myself during the working in progress...
    I can only suggest you to search in the Thousands of Akai samples Library (or Roland, EMU, Kurzwiel)
    and of course in the NI generation such as EWQL Stormdrum and spectrasonics...
    in almost cases the samples are the same.. but if you have milion of Sample you can reach to find your personal sound setting!
    Obviously.. there is a faster way... just use EZ-drummer, Battery, BFD etc.

  • Using CRM opportunities for recording internal project bids - pros/cons?

    We use CRM Opportunities for recording project pursuit of externally funded projects and it works well for this. We have one sales cycle with associated statuses and phases.
    I am considering using Opportunities to record bids for internal projects and funding as this also goes through an approval process. I think an alternative sales cycle with different phases and status may be needed as the transaction is currently highly tailored for external needs.
    Alternatively to use another version of Opportunities with a different field selection. I'd be interested in views or lessons from your own experience

  • Using oDATA for BI in Project Server 2013

    Hi gang,
    I am looking to create a BI report that I was able to do quite readily in previous versions of Project Server.  I'm trying to create a graph that simply plots resource capacity and work as measures over time, with the resource roles as a filter. 
    That is it, no more no less. Using Project Server 2013 ON-LINE.
    I have successfully connected to the tables using the Data Connection Wizard in Excel to do this.  Seems that these are 3 tables I need to get to the data I need--Resource, ResourceTimephasedData, and ResourceTimephasedData.  
    Fact of the matter is, timephased data tables are causing very very very long delays in populating the Pivot Report that I am looking for.  This a fairly new system with hardly any resource and project data in it yet.  This approach does not seem
    user friendly either.  I found it much easier in previous versions.  If I do recall, all my data is in one table before.
    I am wondering if I am approaching this in the wrong way.  Is there another way I should be looking at to get to my data and ultimately my graph?
    \Spiro Theopoulos PMP, MCITP. Montreal, QC (Canada)

    Hello,
    Unfortunately not, OData if the way forward for reporting in Project Online. Is this still slow for you? When you do get more data in the system I would definitely recommend filtering this as much as possible at the source before Excel etc.

  • Using Photoshop for offset printing projects (packaging) - simple or complex?

    Hi,
    I'm about to start a new project. It's a product package (box).
    Normally, I would do this in Illustrator. However, I was wondering if I could do it all in Photoshop by saving the final output as a PDF.
    I've only ever used Photoshop in 4-color process scenarios and numeric printing. In other words, "sky's the limit" scenarios, where all I need to care about is how it looks on the screen. I'm not sure how to attack this from the perspective of offset printing.
    I've checked with the printer, and he says a CMYK PDF is fine. But that the basic rules of offset still apply.
    First, is it realistic of me to envision doing this box in Photoshop? It would really save me a lot of time not having to switch back and forth from PS to AI the way I usually do in projects like these.
    How would I go about telling a text layer to use a specific offset pantone, or pure black, for instance?
    Am I making too big a deal out of something simple, or am I being unreasonably simplistic regarding something more complex?

    ...or am I being unreasonably simplistic regarding something more complex?
    Probably yes (no offense). Just a few random thoughts:
    - you can't do die, glue and fold lines in PS as you can't do specific other custom print marks required for stamping, foil coating, varnishing or whatever
    - process colors in PS are limited to multichannel/ duotones/ tritones and since they will be raster, they will never print sharp, especially when printing on something like uncoated C or G flute
    - similarly, barcodes and other required markings may not print correctly
    So no, there is possibly no way you can do this in just PS. In particular the cutting part will require a complementary EPS/ PDF based on genuine vector data and it really doesn't hurt to have proper alignement crosshairs, either.

  • I would like to use DasyLab for a research project with Siemens PLC

    I would like to use DasyLab with Siemens PLC Simatic S7-300. Which OPC Server shall I use?
    I would like a manual for connecting DasyLab via OPC server to the PLC if it is possible.
    Could I use NI OPC Servers which are compatible with LabView?
    Thank you for your help

    I believe that Siemens has an OPC server that you can purchase.
    KepWare has the KepServer and drivers for Siemens www.kepware.com.
    DASYLab has the Help menu with the instructions for the OPC DA modules. It's straightforward - configure the OPC server with the necessary drivers and connections (tags). Update rates are in milliseconds, for example, 100 ms is typical. You need to know your device and driver, to determine data types.
    Once configured, KepServer has an OPC quick client to allow you to test your settings. 
    Then, add the OPC DA module to DASYLab, connect to the server, and select the tags to read or write. 
    Note that it's simple to set up on a single computer - to set up on multiple computers requires assistance from your It team to correctly configure the DCOM permissions. That's specific to the OPC server.

    Measurement Computing (MCC) has free technical support. Visit www.mccdaq.com and click on the "Support" tab for all support options, including DASYLab.

  • How do I share a keynote presentation I created on my Mac with a friend who uses keynote for iOS?

    I have created a presentation on my Mac in Keynote '13. It's in iCloud, and I'd like to share it with a friend who wants to work on it from her iPad with the latest Keynote for iOS installed. There seems to be no way in the world to make that happen. Airdrop: available on my Mac, not on her iPad, even though we're on the same wireless network. iCloud sharing: will open a link in the iPads safari, with a not very well working verison of iWork for iCloud. No way to download the file to the iPad and work in Keynote! Shared via Messages: the presentation will show up in messages and can be viewed in there, but it can NOT be opened in Keynote for iOS. Eventually I tried to move it out of iCloud, so I could just send it to her via mail. Guess what, Keynote '13 files can not be attached to mail?!?!?!?I thought I was reasonably tech savvy, but working with Apple's userfriendly technology makes me feel like someone who has never touched anything electronic before in his life

    Not done, sorry.
    so sending by mail didn't work either, because the Keynote 13 file could not be attached to a mail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Keynote 09 can as can PowerPoint). This is ridiculus. This is Apple trying really hard to make it impossible for people to work with their software

  • Can I use openJDK for multi platform projects?

    Hi, I'm new in the forum and I have a question about differents Java implementations.
    I'm a Fedora user and I have the doubt if I can use openJDK to create applications that running in Windows and other non-Linux platforms.
    I read that Oracle Java 7 is referenced in openJDK and I believe now openJDK is more compatible with Oracle JDK, but I'm not sure although the simple tests I made runs well.
    Thanks for the answers.

    PinguinoAdministrador wrote:
    If I read well, Oracle JDK can runs everything I program with openJDK,yes...
    because openJDK is apart of Oracle JDK.No, that's not what I said. But whatever, you have nothing to worry about. Java is a standardized platform, you should be able to compile and run on any implementation of it. Just as long as you keep the version in mind. Java 7 software is not going to run on a Java 6 installation. Java 6 software does work on a Java 7 installation though.
    I'm a small freelance and if I develop something in Java will most likely run on WIndows, because my potential customers use Windows.I wouldn't neglect the Mac nowadays, its a growing target.
    You may also want to consider targeting the web like most of the rest of the world; that takes away plenty of deployment problems you may face.

  • Using Garageband for live performances

    I would love to hear from anyone who uses GB for live performances. I'm especially interested in how you store and play your music; ie direct from your computer drive, on flash card or thumb drive etc. I'm a one man show with guitar, flute, and keyboard. I'm really new at this and any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Hey Gillermo... I might have to eat my words. I had a good think about this last night and I have come up with a plan. Just shooting from the hip and so might need some refinement, but here goes...
    The problem as I saw it with Garageband was two fold...
    1. how to lay out several songs or groups of pre recorded tracks and tracks with effects on them for my vocal and guitar and
    2. lack of an easy to use controller of some sort that worked with GB to minimize mouse use, speed up transfer/choosing between songs and organize my set layout with a structure of some sort.
    As a result of mucking around with my Korg NanoKontrol and using the plugin for GarageBand, I can now envision a logical system for using GB for Live performance as a one person show.
    The NanoK has the ability to control 8 tracks at a time. You have use of Volume, Pan, Mute, Solo as well as the transport buttons when using scene number 1 on the NK. It has the ability to scroll through groups of 8 tracks at a time with dedicated buttons on fader bank 9.
    As a simple example, lets take 4 tracks 1. a track dedicated to vocal with some effects on it to taste 2. a track dedicated to guitar with some effects to taste 3. prerecorded bass track (file bounced down to mp3 or similar) and 4. a drum/percussion track set up like track 3.
    Now what you have is the use of 4 tracks for your performance ( there are a few other options though). Now if you load tracks 5-6 with the bass and drums of another song and 7-8 with the tracks of yet another song you now have 3 songs you can play/sing from the first fader bank set. These are all visible on the laptop screen.
    Now thinking in groups of 8 tracks, the 2nd set of 8 tracks (tracks 9-16) is set up in a similar way with tracks 9-10 duplicates of 1-2 (vox & guitar) and 3 sets of bass and drums (or what ever). You would name each set of bass and drum tracks with the name of the song so you could always find out where you are. You could also apply instrument icons for easier identification.
    So starting with fader bank 1 and tracks 1-4 un muted, you would have muted all the other tracks in the entire set ( before you started your show obviously). Hit play, sing your song... hit stop. Hit rewind, mute tracks 3-4, un mute tracks 5-6, hit play when ready and away you go with song No.2. Repeat for song 3. Once you have completed these 3 songs and made sure all of the tracks are muted via the Nano, press the button that moves the controls to the next set of 8 tracks or 3 songs.
    Now in terms of performance there would be some trial and error needed to find out how big the project file could be before there were computer performance issues. I read somewhere there was an upper limit of approx 240 tracks in GB. In reality you would be thinking in terms of how many songs there are in your sets. So in this scenario if you had 15 songs in each set you would only need 40 tracks or 5 sets of 8 fader banks.
    To minimize performance issues with projects getting on the large side, in between your sets you could close the project with set one in it and open the project file with set 2 in it.
    A couple of other layout options would be to use an entire bank of faders for each song. You could have between 5-8 tracks usable per song. You could have a combination of audio, .wav/mp3, electric guitar and software instrument tracks. Simply go through the mute/unmute process as you scroll through your songs.
    You could also lock/unlock the odd track for another level of performance optimization, but you would have to use the mouse pad for this as it can't be done via the NK.
    The pro's for this type of system are
    1. Complete control of mixing vol & pan for the venue you are in
    2. Very simple control at your finger tips, 2 or more faders at a time, limited mouse use
    3. A logical frame work to create your sets.
    4. You can stay in GarageBand, no need for another software program.
    5. Very cheap investment.
    The Con's would all revolve around your computer spec's.
    1. Max out your RAM.
    2. Be selective with effects
    3. System HD speed.
    Note, I am assuming my vox and guitar are going through and audio interface with outs to an amp or PA of some sort.
    I am going to have to try this out. I really DO NOT LIKE Ableton Live. It is heavy on CPU and gets really deep very quickly. If this works then I will have an Live Serial# for sale.

  • I just purchased a macbook air, and because of the limited memory (256 gb) and my HUGE music library, I need aomne form of external storage.  i am considering either using iCloud for iTunes, or purchasing an external hard drive.  suggestions or opinions?

    hi!  just purchased a macbook air, and because of the limited storage (256 gb) and my massive music library, I am going to find an alternative storage method.  I am debating between an external hard drive and utilizing iCloud. icloud makes me a little nervous....having my entire library in "the cloud" and deleted off of my desktop - do most of you who use icloud for music and photos have a backup on external hard drive anyway? So....iCloud vs. external hard drive for storage.  Thoughts?  opinions?  thanks!

    iTunes Match allows you to put 25,000 songs in the Cloud. At present it isn't possible to add more storage but I wouldn be surprised if that isn't an option offered in the future. With iTunes Match you allow Apple to match your songs (purchased from Apple, ripped from your own CDs are purchased elsewhere). When Apple cannot match a song a copy of yours is uploaded.
    Once the match process is complete (for my 24,000+ collection it took a couple days) the fun begins. Since my MBA can't hanle all my music, I use iTunes Match to download a small selection of my music every couple of weeks. My music remains in the cloud even when I delete them from my computer and if I have WiFi accesss I can get new songs. It is a great service and much more convenient than keeping your MBA's music on an external drive.

  • Audition - What are we using it for?

    As someone pointed out in a recent topic (http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?128@@.59b54e04) that "most" topics concern, AA 'bugs' and other hardware and/or OS related problems. Ozpeter rightly explains the obvious reasons for this.
    Maybe I've got too much time on my hands but given my recent experience in developing a support utility for AA (http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b4f363) it has become obvious to me just how diverse the use and the way we all use AA.
    I thought it might be interesting and perhaps even useful and educational for members of the forum (and maybe even Adobe) if users offer some insight into where, how, why and for what purpose they use Audition.
    What do you think about the idea of this sort of feedback in one area (or at all)?

    Well, to answer Runaway in greater detail, I use both AA and Pro Tools. What has driven me from using AA as my main DAW is not only the PTs wonderfully integrated MIDI support (it should be, after all Digis been doing it for a very long time) but what have also become for me serious limitations on AAs part.
    Here are some my issues with AA:
    The VST/DirectX amnesia bug is one whereby AA will not remember session effect settings. I generally prefer to use certain DirectX and VST plugins rather than the AA effects and it takes time to set these up with particular effects and custom parameters assigned to specific tracks. When I exit the session AA forgets the settings. In other words, when I revisit the session for a revision or whatever I have to re-enable each effect as AA reverts to a default setting upon exiting the session. I used to take this behavior as just something I had to live with until I began to use Acid Pro and Pro Tools. It was when I started using other DAWs that I realized AA was seriously broken in this regard.
    Stability is another area where AA falls flat and its only gotten worse with AA 3.0. I found 2.0 to be more stable than 1.5 (which was a nightmare) and I have learned the hard way that with AA you save early and often, otherwise it WILL crash and kill your work from the last save point.
    In all the time I have been using Pro Tools it hasnt crashed once. I value that quite a bit.
    AAs MIDI integration is thoroughly wonked. Why it was even introduced in this condition is one of the great mysteries of the universe. To say - as I have read - that its still in a state of development is understating the situation to say the least.
    And support? Digi releases patches to fix bugs found after release in regular order. So does every other DAW maker for that matter. We still dont know if Adobe is going to fix AA 3.0s bugs or release the fixes as AA 3.5 and charge us for them.
    Ive been using this product since the days of Cool Edit 1x. It was the first DAW on which I learned to edit digital audio. But it wasnt until I began to use Pro Tools that I started to understand AAs limitations and faults.
    And I didnt purchase Pro Tools so I could play with the big boys. It was because I wanted to learn something new and see how far I could push my talent and abilities. I also had the opportunity to pick up some engineering sessions at a local production house and they like many other professional studios here in Austin use Pro Tools. (My buddy Ray Benson of Bismeaux Studios uses Nuendo, but thats another story)
    Once I began to use Pro Tools I began to see what I had been missing: a supremely refined user interface with astounding power and the feeling that I was driving a luxurious and slick program that was a delight to learn and use. Every time I use Pro Tools I find a new reason to love it, as its that deep and constantly opens new ways to appreciate it. The recently released version 7.4 is just mind blowing.
    And as far as having to use proprietary hardware, thats a plus for me. Look at it this way: youre going to have to buy a sound card anyway. If youre a pro you wont be using a Creative Labs card, youll be using a something on a professional level. For a little less than twice what one would pay for AA 3.0 alone you can purchase an Mbox 2 Factory Pro with PT 7.4 and youre good to go. Program and sound card in one. Whats not to like?
    Like I said at the start of this, I still use AA. It has certain features that are still useful to me, such as the Edit window and its audio restoration toolset. But I dont use it for mission critical projects. Its too buggy and too unreliable for that. And I wont automatically buy the next version as I have been doing since the Cool Edit days. I find myself considering other alternatives such as Sound Forge and Wavelab.
    Im not saying AA is a bad productits just that what I need from a DAW has changed and in its current state AA doesnt fit the bill for the majority of my needs.

    Bests regards

    > What can I do with dynadock U10 for my application works ?
    Dynadock U10 use the graphic chip from displaylink
    You should ensure that the client has installed the latest driver from this page:
