Help on using busses as subgroups

Hi forum,
If I'm routing several track outputs to a bus - that is, using the bus as a subgroup - then how to I apply reverb to the mix? Conceivably I could use a second bus for reverb, but there's no send option on busses. I'd like to avoid having to manually set the reverb send for each track in my subgroup, and instead have one setting for everyone.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Mike

Using a bus object instead of an aux has a distinct advantage when using Space Designer - the presets automatically dial down the dry level to zero, which is what you want, generally, when feeding a reverb bus sends. The disadvantage is that bus objects cannot have sends applied to them, but this is rarely wanted with reverbs anyway.

    Gurus,
    I need help in using the FM BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA. The FM is returning a message that says "The field MARA-MEINS/BAPI_MARA-BASE_UOM(_ISO) is defined as a required field; it does not contain an entry".
    I have supplied the necessary details and yet the FM won't push through.
    If possible, please post sample codes.

    That camera shoots H.264 in an .avi wrapper.
    You will have to transfer the files via the Finder.
    Get a free copy of MPEG Streamclip and convert them to QuickTime .mov using the H.264 codec if you are presumably editing in iMovie.
    Note that your list of video codecs won't look like mine as I have Final Cut Pro, but H.264 is definitely an option for you.

  • Attachments help - C# using Obect API

    I'm in my first attempt at integrating GW functionality into a C# application. I am not an expert C# programmer either. Thus far I've been successful at getting logged into GW, creating a new mail message and sending it successfully. However adding code to attach a file to my message returns an exception from the GroupwareTypeLibrary with the unhelpful error message "Unknown Error". Below is my code. If I comment out the line:
    objMessage.Attachments.Add("c:\reg.log",1,"reg.log ");
    the program runs successfully, happily sending my mail to the recipent mailbox. I know the c:\reg.log file exists and I have permissions to it.
    Any advice as to what I'm doing wrong would be of tremendous help, as I've already search and cruised all the forums on GW API I can find to no avail. Running GW 7.03 I think on client and server side.

    using System.IO;

    GroupwareTypeLibrary.Account objAccount;
    GroupwareTypeLibrary.Messages objMessages;
    GroupwareTypeLibrary.Message objMessage;
    GroupwareTypeLibrary.Folder objMailBox;
    GroupwareTypeLibrary.Recipients objRecipients;

    objAccount = objApplication.Login("dpuls", "", "password", "", "");
    objMailBox = objAccount.MailBox;
    objMessages = objMailBox.Messages;
    objMessage = objMessages.Add("GroupwareTypeLibrary.Message",4," ");
    objRecipients = objMessage.Recipients;
    objRecipient = objRecipients.Add("dpuls","","");
    objMessage.Subject.PlainText = "Here's the message from C#!.";
    objMessage.BodyText.PlainText = "Here's the report you wanted.";
    objMessage.Attachments.Add("c:\reg.log",1,"reg.log ");
    objMessage.Send();

    Markus,
    Thanks so much for your quick reply. I appreciate your willingness to help me overcome my ignorance. Here's what I found:
    objMessage = objMessages.Add("GW.MESSAGE.MAIL", 4);
    results in a C# compiler error "no overload method for 'add' requires '2' arguments". This tells me the third paramater is required for the GroupwareTypeLibary COM object, so I added the third null parameter back in, eliminating the compiler error. Then I still got the same "unknown error" exception back from the COM library as before.
    So I went back to my shotgun approach of trying variations on parameter passing (instance variables instead of literals, etc). I noticed at one point when I tried another test file that I got a compiler error on a string literal of the path\filename "c:\csharptest.txt". Aha, says I ......
    To make a long story short, by happenstance, my "c:\reg.log" parameter gets read in C# as containing an escape sequence reference, i.e. "\r" and when I changed to another test file it read "c:\csharptest.txt" as an INVALID escape sequence "\c". The fix then was to correct the problem of the reading of escape sequences in my string literal by changing my line of code to :
    objMessage.Attachments.Add(@"c:\reg.log","1","");
    Problem solved! Thanks again for your help.

    The function "Add()" takes only 2 parameters, 'ClassName' + 'ObjType'.
    'ClassName' stands for the sort/subtype of message you'd like to create.
    'ObjType' stands for 'draft' or 'personal'
    Try the following:
    objMessages = objMailBox.Messages;
    objMessage = objMessages.Add("GW.MESSAGE.MAIL", 4);
    The rest should be fine; the code for adding the attachment seems OK.

  • Help in using listagg function for more than 8000 char.

    Hi Friends,
    Need you urgent help in using listagg function for more than 8000 char.
    I did the below sample SQL and in "e_orig" and "d_orig" for upto 4000 char it is working fine but I have to use it for more than 8000 char. and it is giving error,
    I checked the listagg function is having limitation of 4000 char.
    I tried but I am unable to achive this. Can someone provide me a sample example to achive this
    select d.dname,d.loc,e.hiredate
    ,listagg(e.ename,',' ) within group (order by e.deptno) over (partition by e.deptno) as e_orig
    ,listagg(e.ename, ',') within group (order by e.sal) over (partition by e.deptno) as d_orig
    from emp e, dept d
    where e.deptno=d.deptno;[ This is my first post, I gone through the guideline for posting a post , and try to go according to that ( I have not pasted here create table and insert as I have used basic table emp, dept for example), please let me know if still I should give this, I will take care from my next post ]
    Thanks in advance

    Interesting, I didn't know you could do that, but...

    You could write some PL/SQL code that does it all for you, but that would involve loops and would be slow.Well, objects are written in PL/SQL aren't they? And presumably there'll be implicit looping too? So it's not at all obvious that this method will be faster than doing the joining in PL/SQL in memory. The only way to find out is to benchmark them - so I have done that.
    I noticed that OP's ref cursor actually only ever retrieves a single record for a bound department number, so I decided the best thing would be to test using a procedure that passes an output string back. I selected all (109) employees and put spaces in to ensure above 4000 characters. I also noticed that as he is using PL/SQL he probably can use a VARCHAR2 type, but just not ListAgg in the query, so I wrote short procedures as follows:
    SimpleAggChr     - bulk collect and array processing, VARCHAR2 output
    ClobAggPrc     - the custom aggregation method, CLOB output
    SimpleAggClob     - bulk collect and array processing, CLOB output
    I then wrote a driving script that calls them in the order above and times each call (I like benchmarking so I have my own timing object to make it easy). I then print the lengths for checking, and my object writes the timings to my output table. Running a few times I got varying results, but generally it looks like there isn't a lot to choose between them for performance.
    Here's the procedure code:
    CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE char100_list_type AS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(100)
    CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE SimpleAggChr (x_out OUT VARCHAR2) IS
      l_enames     char100_list_type;
    BEGIN
      SELECT first_name || '                                        ' || last_name
        BULK COLLECT INTO l_enames
        FROM employees
       ORDER BY salary;
      FOR i IN 1..l_enames.COUNT LOOP
        x_out := x_out || l_enames(i) || ',';
      END LOOP;
    END SimpleAggChr;
    CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE SimpleAggClob (x_out OUT CLOB) IS
      l_enames     char100_list_type;
    BEGIN
      SELECT first_name || '                                        ' || last_name
        BULK COLLECT INTO l_enames
        FROM employees
       ORDER BY salary;
      FOR i IN 1..l_enames.COUNT LOOP
        x_out := x_out || l_enames(i) || ',';
      END LOOP;
    END SimpleAggClob;

        INTO x_out
        FROM employees
       ORDER BY salary;
    END ClobAggPrc;

  • Help needed using adobe exportpdf

    The first time I used adobe export pdf it worked well. However the next time and every other time I try to convert a pdf doc to word docx I get the error message at the end of the uploading session. "pdf doc failed to export to m,icrosoft word.  There was an unexpected problem.
    Anyone overcome this problem?

    Hi Stacy
                   Thanks for that info.  I was aware of the 100MB limit but 
    your response made me think again and go back to the problem and this is 
    what I found. The first  pdf document I uploaded into Adobe export pdf was  43
    MB and it went through fine. when I looked at the conversion to Word  docx I
    found it had been transformed into 83MB.
    So the conversion (which was a children's book with lots of images in it) 
    resulted in an increase of MBs by a factor of 1.7.  
    The second pdf document I uploaded was 64MB and this failed. If I apply the
    1.7 factor then the Word docx I wanted was going to be 109MB and therefore
    over  the 100MB limit.
    I didn't know that converting pdf to word would increase the MB like that. 
    Why, I don't know so thanks for your help I've learnt something new.
    Cheers
                Garth

  • Alv field with f4 help without using class

    Hi,
    Can any one give me a program of "Alv field with f4 help without using class".
    Thanking you in advance.

    hi
    <b>Linking F4 Help to Fields</b>
    For the last section, we will deal with linking F4 help to fields. It is easy. As usual, define, implement and register the event “onf4” at proper places in your code. For F4 help, you must register the fields whose F4 request will trigger the “onf4” event. For this you must prepare a table of type “LVC_T_F4” and register this table using the method “register_f4_for_fields”. While preparing table you must include a line for each field which will trigger F4 event. For each field in the structure;
    &#1048766; Pass the fieldname to ‘FIELDNAME’
    &#1048766; Set ‘REGISTER’ to make the field registered,
    &#1048766; Set ‘GETBEFORE’ to provide field content transport before F4 in editable mode
    &#1048766; Set ‘CHNGEAFTER’ to make the data changed after F4 in editable mode.
    DATA: lt_f4 TYPE lvc_t_f4 WITH HEADER LINE .
    lt_f4-fieldname = 'PRICE'.
    lt_f4-register = 'X' .
    lt_f4-getbefore = 'X' .
    APPEND lt_f4 .
    CALL METHOD gr_alvgrid->register_f4_for_fields
    EXPORTING
    it_f4 = lt_f4[] .
    Preparing table for the fields to be registered to trigger F4 event
    METHOD handle_on_f4 .
    PERFORM f4_help USING e_fieldname es_row_no .
    er_event_data->m_event_handled = 'X' .
    ENDMETHOD .
    A sample “onf4” method implementation
    Again, we set the attribute “er_event_data->m_event_handled” to prevent further processing of standard F4 help.
    regards

    There is nothing that anyone here on a user forum can do to help you.  If it is a local issue in Syria, then you need to take it up with your phone company or authorities there who have prevented you from using VPN.

    I suppose that you can demand all you want. It would have to be proven that the iOS update broke this particular function but it could also be said that it was just a matter of time that the broken thing manifested itself. Since the phone is out of warranty, it could also be said that it is your risk to update software. I'm not trying to be argumentative here, but we are not Apple. We are users like you and just try and provide support to other users. What you decide to do from here is your decision. I've given you all I know to do.
