Help with Subforms and Textfields

Hi All,
Basically, I am trying to template our company's contract form so that user can only edit the designated fields of the form, and all provisions written in the contract form remains untouched.
My problem is (please see sample texts below), and I feel like I am dealing with this for ages despite extensive research, the content of the fillable textfield overwrites the text adjacent to it. In the sampel below, I set the underlined words as dynamic textfields. I don't have problem with 14th since the least texts I can put there is 3, like 1st. My problem is with January, because if I changed that to September, it expands to overwrite the text adjacent to it. The same is true with 2014, CLIENT, and Client Name. I've tried a combination of things like wrapping each elements in subform as positioned or flowed, auto-fit for both the fields and subforms, Keep with Next.
Also, I want to have the fields to adjust their widths automatically so that text are kept close as possible to each other, like how you edit texts in MS Word. I don't want to have several spaced between of May , 2014 in case I typed in May as the month.
I would greatly appreciate any solution.
Example:
This Agreement executed and entered into this 14th day of January , 2014, by and between: MY COMPANY (hereinafter known as the “SERVICE PROVIDER”) located at Street, City, Country and represented by its Chief Executive Officer, Mr. First Last.
- And -
CLIENT (hereinafter known as the “CLIENT"), with its principal place of business Street Address, City, Country and represented by Client Name ,Title

Help with writing and retrieving data from a table field with type "LCHR"

Hi Experts,
I need help with writing and reading data from a database table field which has a type of "LCHR". I have given an example of the original code but don't know what to change it to in order to fix it and still read in the original data that's stored in the LCHR field.
Basically we have two Function modules, one that saves list data to a database table and one that reads in this data. Both Function modules have an identicle table which has an array of fields from type INT4, CHAR, and type P. The INT4 field is the first one.
Incidentally this worked in the 4.7 non-unicode system but is now dumping in the new ECC6 Unicode system.
Thanks in advance,
C

Hi Anuj,
The unicode flag is active.
When I run our report and then to try and save the list data a dump is happening at the following point
LOOP AT T_TAB into L_WA.
As I say, T_TAB consists of different fields and field types whereas L_WA is CHAR 800. The dump mentions UC_OBJECTS_NOT_CONVERTIBLE
When I try to load a saved list the dump is happening at the following point
APPEND T_DATA-RAWDATA to T_TAB.
T_DATA-RAWDATA is type LCHR and T_TAB consists of different fields and field types.
In both examples the dumps mention UC_OBJECTS_NOT_CONVERTIBLE

Help with count and sum query

Hi I am using oracle 10g. Trying to aggregate duplicate count records. I have so far:
SELECT 'ST' LEDGER,
CASE
WHEN c.Category = 'E' THEN 'Headcount Exempt'
ELSE 'Headcount Non-Exempt'
END
ACCOUNTS,
CASE WHEN a.COMPANY = 'ZEE' THEN 'OH' ELSE 'NA' END MARKET,
'MARCH_12' AS PERIOD,
COUNT (a.empl_id) head_count
FROM essbase.employee_pubinfo a
LEFT OUTER JOIN MMS_DIST_COPY b
ON a.cost_ctr = TRIM (b.bu)
INNER JOIN MMS_GL_PAY_GROUPS c
ON a.pay_group = c.group_code
WHERE a.employee_status IN ('A', 'L', 'P', 'S')
AND FISCAL_YEAR = '2012'
AND FISCAL_MONTH = 'MARCH'
GROUP BY a.company,
b.district,
a.cost_ctr,
c.category,
a.fiscal_month,
a.fiscal_year;
which gives me same rows with different head_counts. I am trying to combine the same rows as a total (one record). Do I use a subquery?

Hi,
Whenever you have a problem, please post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) from all tables involved.
Also post the results you want from that data, and an explanation of how you get those results from that data, with specific examples.

I am trying to combine the same rows as a total (one record). Do I use a subquery?Maybe. It's more likely that you need a different GROUP BY clause, since the GROUP BY clause determines how many rows of output there will be. I'll be able to say more after you post the sample data, results, and explanation.
You may want both a sub-query and a different GROUP BY clause. For example:
WITH    got_group_by_columns     AS
     SELECT a.empl_id
     ,     CASE
                    WHEN c.category = 'E'
              THEN 'Headcount Exempt'
                    ELSE 'Headcount Non-Exempt'
            END          AS accounts
     ,      CASE
                    WHEN a.company = 'ZEE'
                    THEN 'OH'
                    ELSE 'NA'
            END          AS market
     FROM              essbase.employee_pubinfo a
     LEFT OUTER JOIN mms_dist_copy             b ON   a.cost_ctr     = TRIM (b.bu)
     INNER JOIN       mms_gl_pay_groups        c ON   a.pay_group      = c.group_code
     WHERE     a.employee_status     IN ('A', 'L', 'P', 'S')
     AND        fiscal_year           = '2012'
     AND        fiscal_month          = 'MARCH'
SELECT    'ST'               AS ledger
,       accounts
,       market
,       'MARCH_12'          AS period
,       COUNT (empl_id)      AS head_count
FROM       got_group_by_columns
GROUP BY accounts
,            market
;But that's just a wild guess.
You said you wanted "Help with count and sum". I see the COUNT, but what do you want with SUM? No doubt this will be clearer after you post the sample data and results.

Dynamic Forms with Subforms and Text Fields

I've been reading all of the messages relating to subforms and dynamic forms and have used many of the suggestions, but haven't found anything that addresses the problem I am having. I'm using Designer 7.0. I've saved my form as a dynamic form, I've set my text fields for multiple lines and expand to fit. My problem is that as soon as I set the parent subform to Flow Content, everything moves to the left margin. I've tried grouping items together within a subform in hopes that the items will maintain their position on the page, but everything always moves to the left margin. I'm creating a legal form that needs to have text and a text field centered at the top of the page. Below that to the left is a text field that needs to be able to expand with two text fields to the right of it. Below that are additional text fields that need to expand as needed.
Am "stacking" my subforms incorrectly and setting the wrong subform to Flow Content? Or, can you now lock a field to a specific position? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately, I hadn't understood that you needed the fields to expand in height and everything below them to move down the page. In that case, you'll need to use flowed subforms.
Having all objects move to the left side of the page is expected when setting a subform to flowed. That's because the flow is top-down, left-right.
One thing you could try is making the text field that needs to be centered exactly as wide as the flowed subform and then setting its left- and right-hand margins to an equal number. This would ensure an equal amount of space on the left- and right-hand sides and because the field would be as wide as its flowed container (subform), entering multiple lines of text would result in everything below moving down.
I've attached a sample form where the page subform has been set to flowed, the text field at the top is a multi-line/height-expandable text field with its width set to the page width and its left- and right-hand margins both set to 2in and the button and check box objects are pushed below the text field.
When text is entered into the text field, it expands in height and causes the button and check box to move down.
To achieve other horizontal and vertical positioning/offsets, you could play with the margins of all the fields that need this.

Help with JLabels and JTextFields

I'm experimenting with JLabels and JTextFields in a basic JFrame. What I am trying to accomplish (without success) is to align a JLabel above and centered on a JTextField. The tutorials are confusing me. Any help would be greatly appreciated. a Sample of code is ...
JLabel myTextLabel = new JLabel("Who's text Field?");
JTextField myTextField = new JTextField("My Text Field");...after reading the tutorial I thought that I needed to assign L&F variables to the JLabel ... i.e.
JLabel myTextLabel = new JLabel("Who's text field?:", JLabel.CENTER, JLabel.TOP); but this results in an error when compiling. (cannot find symbol), so I thought I need to assign the JLabel to the JTextField. i.e.
myTextLabel.setLabelFor(myTextField);Then I get "identifier" expected. So now being completely confused I am here asking "How do I?" :)
Thanks in advance!

Most likely, you need to think a little more about using a layout manager to hlp you along the way. If memory serves, the default layout manager for a JPanel is FlowLayout and that will simply place the components you add to the panel one after another and allow each to adopt it's preferred size.
One way to ensure that the two compoenets were sized equally, would be to use the GridLayout layout manager and create either one row with two columns, or two rows with one column on each. Then add the compoennets to each of the 'cells' so to speak and that should ensure that they are both the same size.
As to making the text centered in each, both the JLabel and JtextField classes have amethod called setHorizontalAlignment(); it can be used to aligh the text as you require.
Simply create an instance of the class;
JLabel aLabel = new JLabel("Some Text");
// Then set the alignment
aLabel.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.CENTER);Or, do the whole operation i one step
JLabel aLabel = new JLabel("Sone Text", SwingConstants.CENTER);and then add the componenet to the panel once you have set the layout manager.
Remember that the label.textfield will have to be wide enought to make it obvious that the text is centered!

Help with encapsulation and a specific case of design

Hello all. I have been playing with Java (my first real language and first OOP language) for a couple months now. Right now I am trying to write my first real application, but I want to design it right and I am smashing my head against the wall with my data structure, specifically with encapsulation.
I go into detail about my app below, but it gets long so for those who don't want to read that far, let me just put these two questions up front:
1) How do principles of encapsulation change when members are complex objects rather than primitives? If the member objects themselves have only primitive members and show good encapsulation, does it make sense to pass a reference to them? Or does good encapsulation demand that I deep-clone all the way to the bottom of my data structure and pass only cloned objects through my top level accessors? Does the analysis change when the structure gets three or four levels deep? Don't DOM structures built of walkable nodes violate basic principles of encapsulation?
2) "Encapsulation" is sometimes used to mean no public members, othertimes to mean no public members AND no setter methods. The reasons for the first are obvious, but why go to the extreme of the latter? More importantly HOW do you go to the extreme of the latter? Would an "updatePrices" method that updates encapsulated member prices based on calculations, taking a single argument of say the time of year be considered a "setter" method that violates the stricter vision of encapsulation?
Even help with just those two questions would be great. For the masochistic, on to my app... The present code is at
http://www.immortalcoil.org/drake/Code.zip
The most basic form of the application is statistics driven flash card software for Japanese Kanji (Chinese characters). For those who do not know, these are ideographic characters that represent concepts rather than sounds. There are a few thousand. In abstract terms, my data structure needs to represent the following.
- There are a bunch of kanji.
   Each kanji is defined by:
   - a single character (the kanji itself); and
   - multiple readings which fall into two categories of "on" and "kun".
      Each reading is defined by:
      - A string of hiragana or katakana (Japanese phoenetic characters); and
      - Statistics that I keep to represent knowledge of that reading/kanji pair.Ideally the structure should be extensible. Later I might want to add statistics associated with the character itself rather than individual readings, for example. Right now I am thinking of building a data structure like so:
- A Vector that holds:
   - custom KanjiEntry objects that each hold
      - a kanji in a primitive char value; and
      - two (on, kun) arrays or Vectors of custom Reading objects that hold
         - the reading in a String; and
         - statistics of some sort, probably in primitive valuesFirst of all, is this approach sensible in the rough outlines?
Now, I need to be able to do the obvious things... save to and load from file, generate tables and views, and edit values. The quesiton of editting values raises the questions I identified above as (1) and (2). Say I want to pull up a reading, quiz the user on it, and update its statistics based on whether the user got it right or wrong. I could do all this through the KanjiEntry object with a setter method that takes a zillion arguments like:
theKanjiEntry.setStatistic(
"on",   // which set of readings
2,      // which element in that array or Vector
"score", // which statistic
98);      // the valueOr I could pass a clone of the Reading object out, work with that, then tell the KanjiEntry to replace the original with my modified clone.
My instincts balk at the first approach, and a little at the second. Doesn't it make more sense to work with a reference to the Reading object? Or is that bad encapsulation?
A second point. When running flash cards, I do not care about the subtlties of the structure, like whether a reading is an on or a kun (although this is important when browsing a table representing the entire structure). All I really care about is kanij/reading pairings. And I should be able to quickly poll the Reading objects to see which ones need quizzing the most, based on their statistics. I was thinking of making a nice neat Hashtable with the keys being the kanji characters in Strings (not the KanjiEntry objects) and the values being the Reading objects. The result would be two indeces to the Reading objects... the basic structure and my ad hoc hashtable for runninq quizzes. Then I would just make sure that they stay in sync in terms of the higher level structure (like if a whole new KanjiEntry got added). Is this bad form, or even downright dangerous?
Apart from good form, the other consideration bouncing around in my head is that if I get all crazy with deep cloning and filling the bottom level guys with instance methods then this puppy is going to get bloated or lag when there are several thousand kanji in memory at once.
Any help would be appreciated.

Usually by better design. Move methods that use the
getters inside the class that actually has the data....
As a basic rule of thumb:
The one who has the data is the one using it. If
another class needs that data, wonder what for and
consider moving that operation away from that class.
Or move from pull to push: instead of A getting
something from B, have B give it to A as a method
call argument.Thanks for the response. I think I see what you are saying.. in my case it is something like this.
Solution 1 (disfavored):
public class kanjiDrill{ // a chunk of Swing GUI or something
     public void runDrill(Vector kanjiEntries){
          KanjiEntry currentKanjiEntry = kanjiEntries.elementAt(0); // except really I will pick one randomly
          char theKanji = currentKanjiEntry.getKanji();
          String theReading = currentKanjiEntry.getReading();
          // build and show a flashcard based on theKanji and theReading
          // use a setter to change currentKanji's data based on whether the user answers correctly;
}Solution 2 (favored):
public class kanjiDrill{ // a chunk of Swing GUI or something
     public void runDrill(Vector kanjiEntries){
          KanjiEntry currentKanjiEntry = kanjiEntries.elementAt(0); // except really I will pick one randomly
          currentKanji.buildAndShowFlashcard(); // method includes updating stats
}I can definitely see the advantages to this, but two potential reasons to think hard about it occur to me right away. First, if this process is carried out to a sufficient extreme the objects that hold my data end up sucking in all the functionality of my program and my objects stop resembling natural concepts.
In your shopping example, say you want to generate price tags for the items. The price tags can be generated with ONLY the raw price, because we do not want the VAT on them. They are simple GIF graphics that have the price printed on a an irregular polygon. Should all that graphics generating code really go into the item objects, or should we just get the price out of the object with a simple getter method and then make the tags?
My second concern is that the more instance methods I put into my bottom level data objects the bigger they get, and I intend to have thousands of these things in memory. Is there a balance to strike at some point?
It's not really a setter. Outsiders are not setting
the items price - it's rather updating its own price
given an argument. This is exactly how it should be,
see my above point. A breach of encapsulation would
be: another object gets the item price, re-calculates
it using a date it knows, and sets the price again.
You can see yourself that pushing the date into the
item's method is much beter than breaching
encapsulation and getting and setting the price.So the point is not "don't allow access to the members" (which after all you are still doing, albeit less directly) so much as "make sure that any functionality implicated in working with the members is handled within the object," right? Take your shopping example. Say we live in a country where there is no VAT and the app will never be used internationally. Then we would resort to a simple setter/getter scheme, right? Or is the answer that if the object really is pure data are almost so, then it should be turned into a standard java.util collection instead of a custom class?
Thanks for the help.

Can anyone help with iPlayer and Sky Mobile?

Ok, I'm so close to giving up with this useless phone. There are 3 apps on my N97 which give me a constant headache.
BBC iPlayer
Sky Mobile*
YouTube
*I should point out that I only use Sky Mobile to set recordings on my Sky+. I do not use it for, nor have any desire to use it for actually watching Mobile TV.
All of these apps work absolutely fine over my home WiFi network. It's when I try to use them over 3G (my Vodafone Live! connection) that I start running in to trouble.
All 3 give me connection problems, errors, and simply refuse to load half the time when on 3G. I got so annoyed I just did a hard reset the other week, and magically all three started working again. However, now 2 of them are failing me again. YouTube (touch wood) is working fine at the moment, but iPlayer and Sky Mobile just aren't.
iPlayer sometimes works. But sometimes I get script errors (unable to load content), and sometimes it says something about checking my connection settings. I wouldn't mind but it's not actually possible to access any options for the iPlayer. Even in application settings there are no options you're able to set.
Sky Mobile simply flat out refuses to work ever on 3G. But it did after I did a hard reset for a couple of weeks, now it just stopped working! It wont even load. It just gives the error message 'Unable to connect to network - please check connection settings" or something along those lines.
I've tried so many different things. Tried setting my internet connections to 'always ask', tried setting it to default to Vodafone Live! all the time, tried setting my video streaming settings to WAP, all sorts. Every combination I can think of.
I just can't wait to get rid of this phone. I've put so many people off buying one. They see it and think it's all swish and cool, and I just say 'Don't. You'll regret it'. I can't wait for my contract to be up so I can upgrade to an iPhone now Vodafone have got them.
Can anyone help with these problems? Thanks in advance, but I don't hold out much hope...

Have a chat with Vodaphone. Streaming iPlayer over 3G IS allowed on Vodaphone contract, unlike my O2 contract. As long as your contract allows it, and you have the correct AP address, it should be fine. Vodaphone should be able to give you the setting.
Mine only works over Wlan.
FWIW, "... streaming over 3G is not currently available on iPhone handsets on any mobile network".
p.s. Just to be clear. You say "Tried setting my internet connections to 'always ask', tried setting it to default to Vodafone Live!".
iPlayer uses the Nokia browser "Web". So that's where you should make the setting "Ask when needed". It should then offer you the choice of whatever you've set in Destinations> Internet> then select whatever you've chosen as your GPRS connection.(as advised, or sent to you by Vodaphone).

Help with exporting and image size or boundaries?

I am trying to slide the cat into the scene a little at a time foir an animation project I am working on. However, when I export the image the back ground of the image expands with a checkered back ground( showing here in white) and shows the whole cat.
How do I just show a little of the cat on the image at a time when exporting. I am trying to give the impression that the cat is walking into the room. I do not want to have to cut the cat up.
I would be thankful for any suggestions.

The following program will count the number of chacters entered until Z is enetered.
import java.io.*;
class count
     public static void main(String[] args)throws IOException
          char ch;
          int cnt=0;
          DataInputStream br=new DataInputStream(System.in);
          do
          System.out.print("Enter a character:");
          ch=(char)br.read();
          if(ch!='Z')
               cnt++;
          else
               break;
          }while((ch=(char)br.read())!='Z');
          System.out.println("The Number of entered characters are:"+cnt);
}

Help with Facebook and Social Media wigets (Was: How do I fix the three probs that...)

I am having problems with the facebook or social media widgets. I would like the link to send viewers to my facebook business page, but when testing it shows my pic and a 'switch' sign (see screen shot) and when I open the site the message is as the other screenshot, great, but I don't know where to find which 'asset' is the problem and why. Also why bother having child pages if the menu doesn't reflect that? I see that drop down menus are an issue, also with some other forum members.
Thanks for any help offered!, I think I have solved the first problem now but still would appreciate any help with the other 2!
For some reason the facebook widget now loads the correct page, and I give up about the drop down menu, hopefully this will be addressed in the next update of Muse??

Hello,
For the "asset" issue, try locating the asset in the assets panel. It should have an icon like this: http://jingsite.businesscatalyst.com/jing/2013-12-16_0917.png
For the child pages in the menus issue, go to the menu options (by clicking the small blue arrow in the right top corner of the menu), and then change the menu type to "All Pages" instead of "Top Level Pages".
Hope this helps.
Cheers

Help with WindowsDesktopSSO and AMIdentity.getAttributes

Hi guys and girls,
I need some help from you experts.
I successfully setup, thanks to this guide
http://blogs.oracle.com/knittel/entry/opensso_windowsdesktopsso
and a lot of trial & errors and googling a Kerberos authentication between OpenAM version 9.5.2 and an Active Directory Server.
When I navigate to openAM page (from a domain machine) http://<openAMhost>:<port>/opensso, it doesn't ask for credentials ...
and I can see, with ieHttpHeaders, kerberos data exchange.
Without creating an Active Directory DataStore (pointing to the same domain where I use kerberos data) in openAM,
when I navigate (from a domain machine) to /opensso/idm/EndUser page, it always gives me:
"Plug-in com.sun.identity.idm.plugins.ldapv3.LDAPv3Repo encountered an ldap exception. LDAP Error 32: The entry specified in the request does not exist."
Since my aim was to get user information from a web app ... I thought I could have done this with an agent/SDK call as I usually do with "classic" authentication.
Now I created a J2EE Agent (on openAM) to protect one of my application deployed on a JBoss 4.2.1-GA server.
Agent configured with default options and these changes:
Agent Filter Mode: J2EE_POLICY
User Mapping Mode: USER_ID
User Attribute Name: tried both with employeenumber and uid
User Principal Flag: enabled
User Token Name: UserToken
FQDN Check: tried both with enabled and disabled
WebAuthentication Available : Enabled
In my application WEB-INF/jboss-web.xml looks like this:
     <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
     <jboss-web>
          <security-domain>java:/jaas/AMRealm</security-domain>
     </jboss-web>Usually, when I authenticate with "classic" (internal datastore) login, I can get user attributes programmatically with a code like this:
       private String getCredenzialiUtente(HttpServletRequest request)
            String                 SSOUsername      = null;
            SSOToken               ssoToken      = null;
            SSOTokenManager        manager           = null;
              try
                manager = SSOTokenManager.getInstance();
                if ( manager == null)
                     throw new RuntimeException("Unable to Get: SSOTokenManager");
                String ssoTokenID = AmFilterManager.getAmSSOCache().getSSOTokenForUser(request);
                ssoToken = manager.createSSOToken(ssoTokenID);
                if ( ssoToken == null )
                      throw new RuntimeException("Unable to Get: TokenForUser");
                AMIdentity amid = new AMIdentity(ssoToken);
                if(amid == null)
                   throw new RuntimeException("Unable to Get: UserIdentity");
                SSOUsername = amid.getName();
                System.out.println("######### USERNAME FROM SSO: " + SSOUsername);
                Set<String> info = new HashSet<String>();
                info.add("uid");
                info.add("givenName");
                java.util.Map mappa = amid.getAttributes(info);
                if ( mappa != null )
                    java.util.Set insieme = mappa.keySet();
                    java.util.Iterator it = insieme.iterator();
                    while ( it.hasNext() )
                        String n = it.next().toString();
                        System.out.println( n + " ==> " + mappa.get(n) );
                else
                    System.err.println(" DAMN - NO ATTR ");
          catch (Exception exception)
            exception.getMessage();
            exception.printStackTrace();
          System.out.println("OUT getCredenzialiUtente: " + SSOUsername);
          return SSOUsername;
        }        When I log to console with default "ldapService" module (outside the domain), I can get something like:

     2011-09-29 13:15:39,877 INFO [STDOUT] OUT getCredenziali: tonywebAs you can see I'm using the "sample" agentApp.war.
What am I missing ? It "crashes" as for getAttributes() call :/
I thought it could be because I didn't setup LDAP DataStore ... so I set up Active Directory Data Store.
While in openAM console (from outside domain) I can see (from Subjects tab) Active Directory users and relative information
(like FirstName (=givenName), Surname (=sn), Full Name (=cn), etc.) ... when I try again with idm/EndUser (from a domain machine)
I get the same error:
     Message:Plug-in encountered an ldap exception. LDAP Error 32: The entry specified in the request does not exist.What should I do now ?
If you need more clarifications ... just ask :)
Thank you in advance and sorry for the big post.
Best Regards,
Tony
P.D. By the way, my OpenAM configuration does not create any "amAuthWindowsDesktopSSO.log" :(
I setup, from opensso/Debug.jsp message level for Authentication ... but it still doesn't create this log ... can you please tell me how to let openAM write it ?
Again thank you

Weird enough, changing to ADAM data store (and not "standard" AD datastore) solved the problem :D
I still wonder why since both plugins share the same java [implementing] class...

Noob needs help with Logic and Motu live setup.

Hello everyone,
I'm a noob / semi noob who could use some help with a live setup using 2 MOTU 896HD's and Logic on a Mac.
Here's the scenario:
I teach an outdoor marching percussion section (a drumline and a front ensemble of marimbas and vibes). We have an amazing setup of live sound to amplify and enhance the mallet percussion. There is a yamaha PA system with 2 subs and 2 mains which are routed through a rack unit that processes the overall PA balance. I'm pretty sure that the unit is supposed to avoid feedback and do an overall cross-over EQ of the sound. Other then that unit, we have 2 motu896hd units which are routed via fire-wire. I also have a coax cable routing the output of the secondary box to the input of the primary box (digital i/o which converts to ADAT in (i think?)..?
Here's the confusion:
There are more then 8 inputs being used from the ensemble itself, so I need the 16 available inputs to be available in Logic. I was lead to believe that the 2nd motu unit would have to be sent digitally to the 1st motu unit via coax digital i/o. Once in Logic, however, I cannot find the signal or any input at all past the 8th input (of the 1st unit).
Here's the goal:
All of my performers and inputs routed via firewire into a Mac Mini running OSX and Logic pro.
I want to be able to use MainStage and run different patches of effects / virt. instruments for a midi controller keyboard / etc.
I want to be able to EQ and balance the ensemble via Logic.
Here's another question:
How much latency will I be dealing with? Would a mac mini with 4gb of ram be able to handle this load? With percussion, I obviously want the sound as latency free as possible. I also, however, want the flexibility of sound enhancement / modification that comes with Logic and the motu896hd units.
Any help would be REALLY appreciated. I need the routing assistance along with some direction as to whether or not this will work for this type of application. I'm pretty certain it does, as I have spoken with some other teachers in similar venues and they have been doing similar things using mac mini's / logic / mainstage / etc.
Thanks in advance,
Chris

You'll definitely want to read the manual to make sure the 896HDs are connected together properly. ADAT is a little tricky, it's not just a matter of cabling them together. Go to motunation.com if you need more guidance on connecting multiple devices. Beyond that initial hookup, here are a couple of quick suggestions:
1. Open CueMix and see if both devices are reported there. If not, your connections aren't correct. Be sure to select 44.1kHz as your sample rate, otherwise you are reducing the number of additional channels. For instance at 88.2kHz you would get half the additional channels via ADAT.
2. You may need to create an aggregate device for the MacBook to recognize more than the first 896HD. Lots of help on this forum for how to do that. Again, first make sure you have the 896HDs connected together properly.
3. As for latency with Mainstage on the Mini, no way to know until you try it. Generally MOTU is fantastic for low latency work but Mainstage is a question mark for a lot of users right now. If the Mini can't cut the mustard, you have a great excuse to upgrade to a MacBook Pro.
