How to use DMA in linux?

Hi,
This is not exactly an area of my expertise, but I'd need to output analog signal with an M Series card in linux. I'm using the NI DAQmx Base driver and apparently it does not have any direct support for DMA access. As I understood, the NI DAQmx driver would have a support for DMA, but the newest version of driver for linux (openSUSE) is from 2005. With current implementation the output is not very steady as there are some other mandatory processes on the background and the driver already seems to be using nearly all of the CPU time. Any help would really be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi mikko,
DAQmx Base does support DMA, but only for analog input (which obviously doesn't match your application's needs).
However, I don't believe you will need the DDK to support DMA for analog output on your hardware: installing DAQmx 8.0 is possible on newer Linux distributions, and one user in particular shared his procedure [1]. His instructions mention using NI-KAL 1.6, but my recommendation is to use the latest [2]. National Instruments hasn't tested DAQmx 8.0 on these newer distributions, so I can't say what the driver's performance would be in your situation. I can say, though, that I've installed DAQmx 8.0 on openSUSE 10.3 successfully and was able to use the shipping examples for an internal demonstration.
If you encounter problems, please reply and tell me which hardware you want to use and which Linux distribution you're currently using. It will be much easier to install DAQmx 8.0 on a newer release of a supported distribution (like SUSE [3]) than a on an unsupported distribution.

How to use jdeveloper with linux?

how to use jdeveloper with linux?
Hello, i've download jdeveloper, and i have java1.4 installed. But i can't run jdeveloper i have jdev.exe and jdev but when i put /usr/local/jdev/bin/jdev a have a message like file not found. I don't know what to do.
Help please!!!
Ori.

You need to go to the directory where you unzipped JDeveloper, for example:
cd opt/jdev/jdevj2eebase1013/jdev/bin
Once there, do this:
chmod +x jdev
chmod +x ojc
Now you can try this:
nohup ./jdev &
or simply
./jev
I usually create a soft link in ~/bin

How to Use JNI for linux based C programs

Hi all,
I am doing my project in JAVA for my Institute. There is a Central server. All the API's have written in C. The C APIs are Linux based.
The problem is getting records from the database through API.
I tried the Java Native Methods. I am able to do that in console with out problem. Since my project is web based I want to fetch the records through the C APIs in JSP. Is it possible? How to do that?
Please Help me.

Why can't you use JDBC?
I tried the Java Native Methods. I am able to do that in console with out problem. Since my project is web based I want to fetch the records through the C APIs in JSP. Is it possible? How to do that?JSP runs in a server. Which is just a big console application. Same as any other.
Basic process.
1. Write the JNI
2. Insure the JNI is in the servers shared library path. This can depend on the user that the server runs under (unlikely to be you.)
3. Add the java code into the server.

How to use sqlldr in linux

i need to load an excel file in oracle database using sqlldr
how can i do that
i am not clear about the control file uses and its creation
thanks :-)

These links were not of much help as i already went through it
my prob is i dont get any error when i run sqlldr
sqlldr userid=scott/tiger control=emp.ctlPotential problems:
1. Your command "sqlldr userid=scott/tiger control=emp.ctl" doeas not include data file name (where is the data for import) because there this file is not specified in .ctl file.
So define "data" prameter in sqlldr command or add infile <filename> to .ctl as following:
LOAD DATA
INFILE <replace by filename>
APPEND INTO TABLE emp1
id INTEGER EXTERNAL TERMINATED BY "," ENCLOSED BY '"',
ename CHAR TERMINATED BY "," ENCLOSED BY '"'
)2. Your .ctl is not appropriate for data structure.
This .ctl is expecting following data structure:
"1", "James Bond"
"2", " Miss Moneypenny"
"3", "M"
"4", "Q"
... and so on.or
"1", "James Bond",
"2", " Miss Moneypenny",
"3", "M",
"4", "Q",
... and so on."userid=scott/tiger" - I assume you are loading data on the same machine where the databse serer is located. Right?
The links are appropriate! It is official documentantion and all information I gave you are part of this document.

How to use Linux Print queue in client_text_io.fopen to print from Windows

We have a forms application deploed on LINUX (Oracle application server 10g).
I have to print a file from local windows PC to a linux Print Queue from forms
I have the following code
PROCEDURE file_to_printer (i_filename_output IN VARCHAR2
,i_network_printer IN VARCHAR2) IS
l_line VARCHAR2(2000);
l_fileid_output client_text_io.file_type;
l_fileid_print client_text_io.file_type;
BEGIN
l_fileid_output := client_text_io.fopen (i_filename_output,'R');
l_fileid_print := client_text_io.fopen (i_network_printer,'W');
WHILE 1 = 1 LOOP
client_text_io.get_line (l_fileid_output, l_line);
client_text_io.put_line (l_fileid_print, l_line);
END LOOP;
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
client_text_io.fclose (l_fileid_output);
client_text_io.fclose (l_fileid_print);
END file_to_printer;
Everything works fine if I use a windows printer like \\machine\printer.
I want to use a Linux printer and specified the print queue as
\\machine\print_queue_name. It's not working
and I get error ORA-302000 on the following line
l_fileid_print := client_text_io.fopen (i_network_printer,'W');
and if I give only the queue name no error but it's not printing.
Could you please tell me how to use a Linux/Unix print queue in this situation

the simplest way is to edit the interface file (look in /etc/lp/interfaces for existing printers). Each script is
run per print job where stdin has your print data, and stdout is going to your print device. You can just
send the output to a file instead (assuming you can create a file in the windows directory from the solaris
box). If it's a network share, you could use smbclient.

How to run SAP BUSINESS ONE 8.8 clients on windows and use MaxDB on linux/W

Good day,
As the subject shows we have SAP BUSINESS ONE 8.8 and I want to find out how to use it in combination with MaxDB instead of MS SQL. I find a lot of MaxDB stuff on the net but no guides on how to setup SAP BUSINESS ONE 8.8 clients on windows workstations and connect them to MaxDB.
Is this possible and if so how do I go about doing it ?
Any assistance is greatly appreciated .

Hi,
I suggest you to check the supported server for B1 in this link:
http://service.sap.com/smb/sbo/platforms
You will know the sap b1 supported platform.
If you really want to use maxDB on linux/W as B1 server, you can send a development request to SAP AG.

How to use a .dmg file in Arch Linux

I have a file a friend gave me from his Mac computer with a .dmg file name. I haven't been able to pinpoint exactly how to use this type of file... I believe its an Apple raw disk image or something like that.. sort of like an iso. I need to use this file in order to start an application and download it onto Arch Linux. The problem is that I can't figure out how to use it on Arch Linux and burn it onto a Cd. Has anyone had experience with this sort of thing? I am completely lost.

How can use linux in my macbook?

how can use linux in my macbook?

You can use various distributions of Linux either by running them under Boot Camp, or in a virtualized environment such as Parallels or VMWare's Fusion. Note that you may have to try several different distros until you find one that works. I settled on Ubuntu running under Parallels.
Best of luck.

Can i use itunes on linux ....how

can i use itunes on linux ....how

Yes, although not natively. You can install iTunes under the Wine framework (see http://www.junauza.com/2010/07/how-to-install-itunes-on-ubuntu-linux.html). Wine allows Linux to run Windows applications by doing a translation of Windows APIs to the equivalent Linux system calls.
You could also install a Windows Virtual Box using VMWare or Virtual Box, and then install iTunes in the VM.

How do I combine multiple PDF using PHP on Linux

Hi,
I would like to know if there is an Adobe product that can combine multiple PDF's into a single document and works on Linux? We are developing an application using PHP on Linux that has to combine selected PDF's and would like to know if there is a tool with api's (or command line interface) to allow that.

Adobe licenses the PDF Library SDK for native developers on Linux platforms (as C code). They do not supply PHP tools.
