Logic and file consolidation

I am a Logic user since version 4.x. I am a recent newbie to ProTools, only out of necessity. ProTools has ONE command that I'd pay $100 for a Logic update just to get that command. Basically a one-click "consolidate session" command where every audio file is automatically merged to Bar 1/Beat 1. And it only takes a couple minutes. Is there ANY chance of ever getting a command like that? Or could we at LEAST get Automator support so we can write the script ourselves? What a tremendous timesaver that would be.
G5 Dual 2 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.5) Logic Pro 7.2

"Export all tracks as audio files"
Then reimport it into a copy of a new sessions
use the audio config if you want to remove plugs.
Really, it's only an extra minute or 2....
and this will take care of all tracks starting at beat 1? Really?
Hmmm.....I must try this newfangled thing....;-)
thanks, Justin

What is a Logical and Physical file path in sap?

what is a Logical and Physical file path in sap?

Hi,
Physical file is what you see from the OS level.
Logical file is what ABAP code can call certain functions to read/write.
Transaction FILE would link them together. Typically the logical path ends with "<FILENAME>", and the logical file refers to the logical path.
To extract the physical path from the logical path name
DATA: lf_mandt TYPE sy-mandt,
        lf_opsys TYPE sy-opsys.
lf_mandt = sy-mandt.
lf_opsys = sy-opsys.
To extract the physical path from the logical path name
CALL FUNCTION 'FILE_GET_NAME'
    EXPORTING
      client           = lf_mandt
      logical_filename = p_unix
      operating_system = lf_opsys
    IMPORTING
      file_name        = gwa_input
    EXCEPTIONS
      file_not_found   = 1
      OTHERS           = 2.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
Concatenating the physical path and the input unix file name
    CONCATENATE gwa_input p_file INTO gf_file .
ENDIF.

Unable to see the logical path and file created in FILE tcode from AL11 and unable to upload the file to this path from front end

Hi Experts,
I have created the logical path and filename in FILE tcode.I am trying to upload the pdf file to application server by using this path.But
I am getting message like "Unable to open the file".Even I cannot find the this path in AL11 tcode.Kindly anyone advise how to upload pdf file using
custom path and file created from FILE tcode.
Thanks & Regards,
Anusha.

Hi Anusha,
Please give as below.
I forget to say you cannot open the PDF in AL11 and for that you need some configuration, i think it can be done using content server,not sure completely please wait for some more suggestions.

LSMW - source file from Logical Path and Files?

Hi,
When specifing the source file (legacy data) you want to use to load from - you can choose a file from the application server.
For the application server file does anyone know is there anyway that you can use a logical path and file to represent this source file?
I do not see this option in LSMW and am surprised at this as it necessitates changing the LSMW in each target system.
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Mark

Diff between logical and physical file path

Hi ,
Could you please explain difference between logical and physical file path's and their importance in ABAP.
Thanks and regards,
shyla

Hi
The function module FILE_GET_NAME convert a logical path into its corresponding physical path.
The advantage of using logical pathes within your applications is obivous:
If you need to change the physical path you just adjust it within transaction FILE yet no changes are required to your application.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/25/ab3a57df3b11d189fc0000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
The file names that you use in ABAP statements for processing files are physical names. This means that they must be syntactically correct filenames for the operating system under which your R/3 System is running. Once you have created a file from an ABAP program with a particular name and path, you can find the same file using the same name and path at operating system level.
Since the naming conventions for files and paths differ from operating system to operating system, ABAP programs are only portable from one operating system to another if you use the tools described below.
To make programs portable, the R/3 System has a concept of logical filenames and paths. These are linked to physical files and paths. The links are created in special tables, which you can maintain according to your own requirements. In an ABAP program, you can then use the function module FILE_GET_NAME to generate a physical filename from a logical one.
Maintaining platform-independent filenames is part of Customizing. For a full description, choose Tools ® Business Engineer ® Customizing, followed by
Implement. projects ® SAP Reference IMG. On the next screen, choose Basis Components System Administration ® Platform-independent File Names.
For a more detailed description of the function module FILE_GET_NAME, enter its name on the initial screen of the Function Builder and choose Goto Documentation. On the next screen, choose Function module doc.
Another way of maintaining platform-independent filenames is to use the Transaction FILE. The following sections provide an overview of the transaction.
To create a logical filename, choose Logical filename definition, client-independent from the Navigation group box in Transaction FILE, then choose New entries. You define logical filenames
You can either define a logical filename and link it to a logical path (as displayed here), or you can enter the full physical filename in the Physical file field. In the latter case, the logical filename is only valid for one operating system. The rules for entering the complete physical filename are the same as for the definition of the physical path for the logical file. To display further information and a list of reserved words, choose Help.
If you link a logical path to a logical file, the logical file is valid for all syntax groups that have been maintained for that logical path. The filename specified under Physical file replaces the reserved word in the physical paths that are assigned to the logical path. To make the name independent of the operating system, use names that begin with a letter, contain up to 8 letters, and do not contain special characters.
Save your changes.

New to logic and garageband, having trouble transferring files

I recently bought a macbook so I'm just kinda figuring out garageband and logic express 7. I was trying to transfer some garageband files over to logic and I kept getting a message saying "damaged song or not a logic express song" Does anyone know why this may be happening and how to fix the problem?

Check your version numbers - there are some 'gotchas' depending on the versions you're using.
For example, LE 7.2.3 at a minimum is necessary to run on a new MacBook. However, if you have a latest version of GB (and you probably do, as it's included on new Macs), then IIRC, Logic 7.2.3 won't open GB 4.+ files - you'll need to upgrade to LE 8. There are some other incompatibilities too - if you could post your version numbers, you'll get some more specific help.

Logic and BWF/Interlaced .WAV files

Hi
I am new to Logic and indeed D.A.W's in general but not to sound recording.
Introductions aside
I wish to import polyphonic .wavs (files created on a sound devices 744t) into Logic in order to mix and separate the tracks.
It all appears to be straight forward however when I import the audio the individual tacks do not separate out on to different tracks, as I would expect them to do (It does it in audacity!!!). Instead I end up with a ''mix'' of all the tracks on one audio track.
I have looked in the manual and googled the problem but don't seem to coming up with a solution can anybody help.
Alan

It's very certainly something your colleague did that triggered the creation of new audio files. Check his audio file folder of the project, I'm pretty sure it will contain the new files along with the old ones.
Cheers,
Jazz

Some organs don't play in new Logic Express files after JamPacks installed

After loading only the instruments from the Symphony Orchestra and World Music GarageBand Jam Packs, I lost the ability to hear most of the organs available in Logic Express and all of the organs available in GarageBand after inserting them into Logic Express tracks. These same organ sounds still play in any Logic Express file set up prior to the installation of the JamPacks and they continue to play in GarageBand. Can an uninstall/reinstall of Logic Express 7.2.3 be a fix for this or is there an easier way to return the lost instruments to Logic Express?
1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8) Midisport 4x4, iControl

The loss of instrument sounds in Logic Express had nothing to do with the installation of GarageBand JamPacks. The midi channel setting in the Inspector box of the Arrange window in Logic Express needed to be set to channel 1 to get midi data from other than channel 1 to play some of the inserted CoreAudio instruments. I don't understand what's going on but now I'm able to get the instruments that would not play.

"File does not exist?" and "File cannot be found?"

Hi,
I'm working in FM 9 and FM 11.
I have a folder for a book and for all its .fm children.
When I open the book, many .fm files in the book pane ae marked with a ?, and trying to open them produces the error "File named Whatever.fm does not exist."
Does anyone know why this happens, and how to fix it?
A possible clue: I frequently need to download a zip file of the whole book and its components from a document management tool, and then unzip locally.
Thanks much.

For more on the basic issue, see:
Relative file pathnames in FM book files
This, by the way, is not a bug.
It's an intractable consequence of the dissonance between Unix-like (common root) and DOS-like (multiple root / logical drive) file systems.
Newer versions of Frame may have an "archive" capability to save out a complete book with restructured fs hierarchy. Aftermarket products exist for older versions. We wrote our own archive script for translation export, that even gathers the imports.
Of course, when you are the recipient of some random .book, archiving was almost never done by the exporter .

Time machine and file organization

Does time machine:
Store everything into one file
Make an special folder and stores files in there
Make an special folder and makes subfolders and then stores it in the subfile
or
Stores all backed up files on to the external HDD with no organization

Time Machine creates a folder named Backups.backupd on the destination drive. Inside Backups.backupd it creates a folder whose name is your computer's name. (This way, I think, you can use the same Time Machine drive for more than one computer.) Inside that folder are folders whose names are timestamps: one folder for every snapshot that Time Machine has taken of your hard drive. (These are periodically trimmed according to the daily, weekly, and monthly consolidations.) Each of these folders contains folders which are (essentially) an exact replica of your hard drive. So the answer to your questions is, perhaps,
Store everything into one file
NO!
Make an special folder and stores files in there
Yes, in the sense that this is the Backups.backupd folder or the Backups.backupd/Machine Name folder. But there is more organization than just that.
Make an special folder and makes subfolders and then stores it in the subfile
This is even more accurate, until reaching the singular form of the subfile. The backups are stored in the subfolders of the special folder(s) in a hierarchical form which mirrors the layout of your hard drive. In particular, in no sense is each backup a flat file.
Stores all backed up files on to the external HDD with no organization
NO!
In case you are wondering, I suspect that when Time Machine needs to "backup" a file which is unchanged from the last backup, it simply creates a hard link. This is why the space used by the backups--and the time required for all but the first backup--is significantly less than the sum of the apparent space used by each backup.
Also, amongst the folders for each backup, labelled by the time stamp, is a soft link named "Latest" to the latest backup. This makes it easy to find the last backup.
I hope this helps.

LSMW - Logical Path/File - No logical path has been specified

Hello,
I am trying to create a LSMW with the RM06EEI0 direct input program for ME21N transaction.
At the SpecifyFiles step I get the error message "No logical path has been specified".
My dilemmas are:
1. How can I solve this error? Is the FILE transaction only solution? If yes, where and how I must define the logical path/file?
2. Why in the case of the Batch Input Recording LSMW Method this files are created automatically? (I can see them in the AL11 transaction and I didn't define them by myself).
3. Why on other system this error is just an warning message? If you look at this tutorial http://****************/Tutorials/LSMW/PO/Page4.htm at Step7.g. you can see that there is no need of defining the file/path in FILE transaction.
More info about the system I am working in:
SAP ECC 6.0.
LSMW 4.0.0. Version.
Thank you.
Daniela

Hi
Refer the oss note 753511 released for this kind of error you face in LSMW, I am pasting the content of the note below,
******************Note Content,
Symptom
The system issues an error message for the logical path or file when you perform the "Specify files" step in the Legacy System Migration Workbench (transaction LSMW) although you have made the correct assignment in transaction FILE.
The error messages are as follows:
The logical path <PATH> does not point to the physical directory.
The logical file <FILE> is not assigned to the physical file.
or
A logical path was not specified.
Other terms
Logical path, logical file, transaction FILE, LSM Workbench
Reason and Prerequisites
Some import interfaces that you can also use with transaction LSMW work with logical path and file names.
Transaction LSMW itself, however, works with physical file names. To be able to transfer the LSMW file with the converted data to the import program, you must specify a logical file name for the file with the converted data in addition to the physical file name. In this case, the system displays additional fields in the 'Specify files' step in which you must enter the logical path and file name.
Solution
The error messages may be due to several causes. Check the following:
Have you maintained the logical path and logical file name and have you assigned them to the physical file specified in the "File" input field of transaction LSMW?
These settings are maintained in transaction FILE.
When you use logical file and path names, you must specify the name of the physical file with its path. If you have not specified any directory, you cannot assign any directory to the logical path in transaction FILE. In this case, the system uses the SAP Home directory on the application server by default. Bear in mind that the file name must not exceed the maximum length of 45 characters, including the path.
Up to LSMW version 1.7.2 (*):
If the logical file name specified does not point to the physical file (although it should do), the system adjusts the logical file name, that is, the information in transaction FILE is changed to the entries made in transaction LSMW. This may lead to unwanted side effects if the logical file is also used somewhere else. Therefore, SAP recommend that you always use separate logical paths and file names for transaction LSMW (the problem is corrected as of LSMW version 1.8.0, see below). If the logical file does not exist yet, it will be created upon request.
As of LSMW version 1.8.0 (*):
The settings of the logical file are checked but no longer adjusted automatically as in version 1.7.2 (see above). If there are inconsistencies, the system issues an error message. If the user is authorized to maintain logical paths and file names (as for transaction FILE: "Maintenance authorization for cross-client tables"), transaction LSMW can create the logical path, the file name and the file. Due to this automatic generation, the user no longer needs to make adjustments in transaction FILE. Therefore, we especially recommend this procedure.
To display the version of transaction LSMW, select "Extras" --> "Display LSMW version" in the main menu of the initial screen.
You should also bear in mind that as of Basis Release 6.20, that is, as of LSMW version 4.0, transaction LSMW is no longer an add-on but is delivered with the standard system.
Hope this helps,
Sunil

Importing logical and physical model from Sybase power designer/Erwin

Hello,
We have several models created in Sybase Power designer, logical and as a well as physical. Is there a way to directly import models into Oracle designer?
Thank you for your help.
Syed

Hi Syed,
ERwin has a facility to export to Designer 2000. Of course you're probably not using Designer 6.0 or earlier so it's of little use.
I have been looking at a couple of tools for importing from ERwin: Reischmann Informatiks TOOLBUS Interface for Oracle Designer and ALLFusion ERwin; and Meta Integration Technologys Meta Integration Model Bridge (MIMB). Neither product is free (nor inexpensive) but if you've got a number of models to convert then the tools seem cheap by comparison. Also, none of the products that I've looked at recreate the actual diagrams (not that I expected them to).
I am leaning towards TOOLBUS as it provides more complete migration of Logical and Physical models (especially the linkages between the models) using Oracle Designers API rather than a DAT file as provided by MIMB.
Hope this helps,
