Need Help with Logic
Am on 10G.
Inside my Table there is a field for PHONE, but we have other fields like PHONE2, 3 and 4. Some are like HOME, some are for CELL, some for WORK, and OTHER.
I am not sure if this can be done with a Case Statement in SQL, but what I am looking for is something like this:
Select column 1, 2, 3, 4 (whatever they might be),
Then for the Phone_Field: (not sure if I can do this with Case ?)
If PHONE1 is not null and PHONE1 > ‘1’ then USE PHONE1
ELSEIF PHONE2 is not null and PHONE1 > ‘1’ then USE PHONE2
ELSEIF PHONE3 is not null and PHONE1 > ‘1’ then USE PHONE3
ELSEIF PHONE4 is not null and PHONE1 > ‘1’ then USE PHONE4
And if none of these PHONE1-4 field are valid, just assign a null value in the return for that field.
Thank you!

Wow, so like this ?
COALESCE (PHONE1, PHONE2, PHONE3, PHONE4)
So if PHONE1 was null and PHONE2 wasn't it would pick PHONE2 ?Yes, it will take the first NOT NULL value in the list, parsing from left to right.
Am also looking for it to be proper as well, not just not null, it could be not null, but have a value of 111, not a valid phone number, can it do that ?
No, it will not do that. That's what you have data validation for (you validate BEFORE putting data in the table :)

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,
ChrisYou'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. -
Need help with Logic Error(I think?)
Hello. The following is a program I am creating to calculate the start value of a gymnastics routine, the basics are as follows(And not everything is implemented yet):
In gymnastics there are the aparatuses, then skill group codes, then "skills" a-g or something like that(My brother is the gymnast, i'm the programmer). Basically as of right now im testing the logic of actually adding up the values based on which option they choose, since the options are strings, i set the strings into an array and then i have a score value array(Values are random at this point).
The problem is, the totalvalue(i think its called that) number is not showing up. There is something wrong in the way i order the things.
This compiles PERFECTLY and runs, and everything is right except the showing up of a number which should show when you choose options in the combo boxes.
Here is the code, help please :)!!!

I need help with event structure.
I am trying to feed the index of the array, the index number can vary from 0 to 7.
Based on the logic ouput of a comparison, the index buffer should increment
or decrement every time the output of comparsion changes(event change). I guess I need to use event structure?
(My event code doesn't execute when there is an event at its input /comparator changes its boolean state.
Anyone coded on similar lines? Any ideas appreciated.
Thanks in advance!You don't need an Event Structure, a simple State Machine would be more appropriate.
There are many examples of State Machines within this forum.

Need help with my usecase based on transient ViewObject
I am using 11.1.1.4.0 Jdev version. I need help with my usecase.Been trying it for 2 days but couldn't figure out the issue.
I have a transientVO . In this VO Rows will be populated programmatically. CountryId is an attribute of this VO. I have created a viewAccessor "CountriesVA" from Country VO of HR schema.
I have a LOV for the countryId which is based on this VA ,getting countries from CountryTable.
This is the model part which works fine.
Before the page load i have called a method to create a row for this transientVO.Once the row is created i can see the SOC in my page which i have created as below.
Now i want to insert a row in the transientVO if user selects a country and restrict duplicate entry . (As One row is already created 1st time there will be no rows created.after that rows will be inserted)
The issue is :: Suppose there are 2 countries. A & B .When user does the following actions :
Insert A . Done //as 1st entry
Insert B . Done //as 1st time entry
Insert A . duplicate not inserted
Insert B . getting inserted // the bug.

9.7.6 What You May Need to Know About Programmatic Row Set Iteration
The problem is solved ,the above links helped me solve the problem.
what i did is i have created a method in appmodule to iterate rows and all the method y operation bindings and my logic works fine ....
MY Advice to all Adf developers ,though i am not an expert but i can assure you to follow the above process for rowIteration.If you use the iterator binding in the manage bean to navigate the rows u'll face issues which are unexpected.
In AppModule :::::
public boolean createRow(String oldValue,String newValue){
System.err.println(oldValue+""+newValue);
ViewObjectImpl vo=getViewObj1();
boolean duplicate=false;
if(oldValue!=null){
RowSetIterator iter = vo.createRowSetIterator(null);
System.err.println("iterating rows ");
while (iter.hasNext()) {
Row r = iter.next();
System.err.println(iter.getRangeIndexOf(r)+" row is "+r.getAttribute("CountryId"));
if(r.getAttribute("CountryId").toString().equals(newValue)){
duplicate=true;
break;
// Do something with the current row.
// close secondary row set iterator
iter.closeRowSetIterator();
return duplicate;
In ManageBean :::::
public void countryIdVC(ValueChangeEvent valueChangeEvent) {
// Add event code here...
String oldValue=null;
System.err.println("Old Value"+valueChangeEvent.getOldValue());
setEL("#{bindings.CountryId.inputValue}", valueChangeEvent.getOldValue());
if(evaluateEL("#{bindings.CountryId.attributeValue}")!=null)
oldValue =evaluateEL("#{bindings.CountryId.attributeValue}").toString();
setEL("#{bindings.CountryId.inputValue}", valueChangeEvent.getNewValue());
String newValue=evaluateEL("#{bindings.CountryId.attributeValue}").toString();
BindingContainer bindings = BindingContext.getCurrent().getCurrentBindingsEntry();
//access the name of the iterator the table is bound to. Its "allDepartmentsIterator"
//in this sample
DCIteratorBinding dciter = (DCIteratorBinding) bindings.get("ViewObj1Iterator");
//access the underlying RowSetIterator
RowSetIterator rsi = dciter.getRowSetIterator();
if(oldValue!=null){
rsi.getCurrentRow().setAttribute("CountryId", oldValue);
OperationBinding operation = bindings.getOperationBinding("createRow");
operation.getParamsMap().put("oldValue", oldValue);
operation.getParamsMap().put("newValue", newValue);
if(!(Boolean)operation.execute()){
//get handle to the last row
Row lastRow = rsi.last();
//obtain the index of the last row
int lastRowIndex = rsi.getRangeIndexOf(lastRow);
//create a new row
Row newRow = rsi.createRow();
newRow.setAttribute("CountryId", newValue);
//initialize the row
newRow.setNewRowState(Row.STATUS_INITIALIZED);
//add row to last index + 1 so it becomes last in the range set
System.err.println("Inserting row at index "+lastRowIndex+1);
rsi.insertRowAtRangeIndex(lastRowIndex +1, newRow);
//make row the current row so it is displayed correctly
rsi.setCurrentRow(newRow);
else{
System.err.println("Data found So not inserting,only setting current Row");
Key key =new Key(new Object[] { newValue});
rsi.setCurrentRow(rsi.getRow(key)); -

Need Help With Simple ABAP Code
Hello,
I'm loading data from a DSO (ZDTBMAJ) to an Infocube (ZCBRAD06). I need help with ABAP code to some of the logic in Start Routine. DSO has 2 fields: ZOCTDLINX & ZOCBRDMAJ.
1. Need to populate ZOCPRODCD & ZOCREFNUM fields in Infocube:
Logic:-
Lookup /BI0/PMATERIAL, if /BIC/ZOCBRDMAJ = /BIC/OIZOCBRDMAJ
then /BIC/ZOCPRODCD = ZOCPRODCD in Infocube
/BIC/ZOCREFNUM = ZOCREFNUM in Infocube
2. Need to populate 0G_CWWTER field in Infocube:
Logic:
Lookup /BIC/PZOCTDLINX, if /BIC/ZOCTDLINX = BIC/OIZOCTDLINX
then G_CWWTER = 0G_CWWTER in Infocube.
I would need to read single row at a time.
Thanks!I resolved it.

I have written a java program using jdk1.5. After completing my program I noticed that the compiler was outputting a warning. It tells me that there were a few unsafe operations in my code. Anyway I found out that my code needed to include generics. I was able to figure out how too include some of the generics. I am having trouble with the following:

The FN/LNComparator class implements the java.util.Comparator class. I have looked at the generics tutorial on the java.sun.com website. I can't figure out what I replace the <T> with to make the code compile and the warning to go away. I have tried <Comparator> but that just gives me an error that says FNComparator does not take any parameters.
If anyone knows how to fix these warnings let me know
-HockeyfanI know how to fix it.
Step 1. Stop writing subject-lines like "Need help with generics". Everyone who starts a topic needs help, that's why people post here!
Step 2. Don't just post the error message, post the relevant code. In [code ][code ] tags of course.
Step 3. Stop watching hockey, it'll stunt your growth
Step 4. Have the FN/LNComparator implement, not the raw Comparator, but Comparator<Object> -

Need help with getResource() problem under weblogic 6.1
Hey all,
I've got a serious problem that I can't figure out. This should be really
simple - but it's alluding me. I have an ear file with a number of servlets
inside it. This ear file also contains a resource that my servlets want to
read from. This resource is located (within the ear file) at:
"/content/structure/a.txt". The file contains raw ascii.
To have my serlvet read from this file, I thought it would be as simple as:
URL content =
servlet.getServletContext().getResource("/content/structure/a.txt");
// pw is an instance of PrintWriter
pw.print(content.getContent());
However, when I execute the above I get the following exception:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at
java.net.URLConnection.stripOffParameters(URLConnection.java:1011)
at java.net.URLConnection.getContentHandler(URLConnection.java:979)
at java.net.URLConnection.getContent(URLConnection.java:581)
OK, so fine - I figure that I'm new to this. The documentation for the URL
class tells me there is another way around this. It says that rather then
calling getContent() directly, I can open a stream on the URL and read from
that, like so:
URL content =
servlet.getServletContext().getResource("/content/structure/scenario2resourc
es.txt");
FileInputStream fis = content.openStream();
but when I do this I get the following different exception:
java.lang.ClassCastException: weblogic.utils.zip.SafeZipFileInputStream^M
at Utility.writeFileToOutput(Utility.java:134)^M
Apparently this thing is trying to return a web-logic-specific stream (which
is incompatible with an FileInputStream) - which I don't want to use or
learn about since I want my stuff to work under other webservers.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? This should be simple.

Wenjin,
I appreciate your response. I tried treating it as a normal InputStream -
but it didn't make any difference. Here's what I did:
URL content =
servlet.getServletContext().getResource("/content/structure/scenario2resourc
es.txt");
InputStream is = (InputStream)content.getContent();
And here's the exception:
java.lang.NullPointerException^M
at
java.net.URLConnection.stripOffParameters(URLConnection.java:1011)^M
at
java.net.URLConnection.getContentHandler(URLConnection.java:979)^M
at java.net.URLConnection.getContent(URLConnection.java:554)^M
at java.net.URL.getContent(URL.java:807)^M
at Utility.writeFileToOutput(Utility.java:134)^M
You can see that it is definitely breaking somewhere in getContent().
If you have any other ideas, I'd appreciate hearing about them.

Need help with a currently "in-use" form we want to switch to Adobes hosting service
Hi, I am in desperate need of help with some issues concerning several forms which we currently use a paid third party (not Adobe) to host and "re-distribute through email"...Somehow I got charged $14.95 for YOUR service, (signed up for a trial, but never used it)..and now I am paying for a year of use of the similar service which Adobe is in control of. I might want to port my form distribution through Adobe in the hopes of reducing the errors, problems and hassles my customers are experiencing when some of them push our "submit button". (and I guess I am familiar with these somewhat from reading what IS available in here, and I also know that, Adobe is working to alleviate some of these " submit" issues, so let's don't start by going backwards, here) I need solutions now for my issues or I can leave it as is, If Adobe's solution will be no better for my end users...
We used FormsCentral to code these forms and it works for the most part (if the end-user can co-operate, and thats iffy, sometimes), but I need help with how to make it go through your servers (and not the third party folks we use now), Not being cruel or racist here, but your over the phone "support techs" are about horrible & I cannot understand them or work with any of them, so I would definitely need someone who speaks English and can understand the nuances of programming these forms, to please contact me back. (Sorry, but both those attributes will be required to be able to help me, so, no "newbie-interns" or first week trainees are gonna cut it).... If you have anyone who fits the bill on those items and would be willing to help us, please contact me back at your earliest convenience. If we have to communicate here, I will do that & I can submit whatever we need to & to whoever we need to.
I need to get this right and working for the majority of my users and on any platform and OS.
You may certainly call me to talk about this, and I have given my number numerous times to your (expletive deleted) time wasting - recording message thingy. So, If it's not available look it up under [email protected]
(and you will probably get right to me, unlike my and I'm sure most other folks', "Adobe phone-in experiences")
Thank You,

Phenix City, Alabama 36869Well, thanks for writing back...just so you know...I started using Adobe products in 1987, ...yeah...back then...like Illustrator 1 & 9" B&W Macs ...John Warnock's Helvetica's....stuff like that...8.5 x 11 LaserWriters...all that good stuff...I still have some of it working on a mac...much of it was stuff I bought. some stuff I did not...I'm not a big fan of this "cloud" thing Adobe has foisted upon the creatives of the world...which I'm sure you can tell...but the functionality and usefulness of your software can not be disputed, so feel free to do whatever we will continue to pay for, ...I am very impressed with CC PS on the 64 bit PC and perhaps I will end up paying you the stipend that you demand for the other services.
So I guess that brings us to our problem.. a few years back and at the height of the recession and near bankruptcy myself, I was damn lucky and hit on something and began a small arts and crafts supply service to sell my products online to a very "niche market" ...I had a unique product and still sell that product (plus others) online...My website is www.vinylcouture.com...Strange? Yes...but there is a market it seems, for everything now, and this is the market I service...Catagorically, these are 99%+ women that use these "adhesive, sticky backed vinyl products" to make different "craft items" that are just way too various and numerous to go into... generally older women, women who are computer illiterate for the most part...and all this is irrelevant to my problem, but I want you to have every bit of background on this and especially the demographic we are dealing with, so we can get right to the meat of the problem.
OK...So about two years ago, I decided to offer a "plain sheet" product of a plain colored "stick back" vinyl... it is available in multiple quantities of packs ( like 5 pieces, 10 pieces, 15 pieces, in a packi & so on)...and if you are still on my site.. go to any "GO RIGHT TO OUR ORDER PAGE" button, scroll down a little...and then to the "PLAIN VINYL" section...you will see the Weebly website order process.) You can back out from here, I think,..but, anyway this product is available in 63 colors + or - a few. So then the problem is, how do they select their individual colors within that (whatever) pack?... .
So my initial idea was to enable a "selection form" for these "colors" that would be transmitted to me via email as 'part" of the "order process".. We tried getting our customers to submit a " a list" ( something my competitiors still do, lol, poor bastards)......but that..is just unbelievable..I can't even begin to tell you what a freakin' nightmare that was...these people cannot even count to 10, much less any higher... figuring out what colors to list and send me... well, lets just say, it wasn't working......I had to figure out a better way...Something had to be done.
So after thinking this all out, and yeah...due to my total ignorance, i figured that we could make a form with Live Cycle Designer (Now Forms Central)...(back then something that was bundled with Adobe Acrobat Pro), I believe, and thats what this thing was authored in... and it would be all good...LOL!
Well not so simple...as you well know, Adobe Acrobat would NOT LET YOU EMAIL anything from itself.....it just wouldn't work (and I know why, and all that hooey), but not being one to take NO for answer,.I started looking for a way to make my little gizmo work.. So I found this company that said they can "hijack" (re-direct actually) the request to email, bypass the wah-wah, and re-transmit it to the proper parties.....for less than $100 a year, I think...its called http://pdf-fillableforms.com/.
A nice gentleman named Joseph Silva helped us program the thing to go to his servers and back out. Please dont hassle them...I need them...for now..it basically does work...try it...you should get back a copy of the form that you filled out...good luck however, if you're on MAC OSX or similar...
I have included a copy of both of our forms (and feel free to fill it out and play with it)...just put test somewhere on it...(and you must include YOUR email or it will balk)..they are supposed to be mostly identical, except one seems to be twice as large....generating a 1.7 meg file upon submission, while the other one only generates a 600K file or so...thats another issue for another day or maybe you can advise on that also...
OK so far so good......In our shop, once Grandma buys a 10 pack (or whatever), Only then she gets to the link on her receipt page ro the relevant "selection form" ,(this prevents "Filling and Sending" with "no order" and "no payment", another early problem we had)... which they can click on and it will usually download and open up on their device if all goes well...Then our little form is supposed to be fillable and is supposed to ADD UP all the quantities, so grandma knows how many she is buying and so forth right on the fly, and even while she changes her mind..., and IT'S LARGE so grandma can see it, and then it TOTALS it all up for them, ( cause remember, they can NOT add).., except there is a programming bug (mouse-click should be a mouse-up probably or something..) which makes you click in the blank spaces to get to a correct TOTAL...about 70-80% of our customers can enable all these features and usually the process completes without problems for them especially on PC's running Windows OS and Acrobat Reader X or XI...at least for most... Unfortunately it is still not the "seamless process" I would like or had envisioned for the other folks out there that do have trouble using our form.... Many folks report to us the following issues that we know of. First of all it takes too much time to load up...We know its HUGE...is there anyway that you can see, to streamline this thing? I would love for it to be more compact...this really helps on the phones and pads as I'm sure you well know.
Some just tell us,"it WON'T work"....I believe this is because they are totally out of it and dont even have Adobe Reader on their machine, & don't know how to get it ( yes, we provide the links).....or it's some ancient version....no one can stop this one...
It almost always generates some kind ( at least one time) of "error message" which we do warn them about..., telling one, basically that "Acrobat doesnt even like this happening at all, and it could be detrimental to ones computer files", blah-blah...(this freaks grandma out really bad)...& usually they end up not even trying to send it... and then I get calls that even you wouldn't believe...& If they DO nut up and push the Red "Submit Form" button, it will usually send the thing to us (and also back to them at the "required email address" they furnished on the form, thats what the folks at the "fillable forms place" do) so, if it's performing it's functions, why it is having to complain?. What are we doing wrong?....and how can I fix it?...Will re-compiling it or saving it as a newer version of "FormsCentral" correct any of these problems ?
Ok, so that should keep you busy for a minute and we can start out with those problems...but the next thing is, how can I take advantage of YOUR re-direct & hosting services?, And will it get rid of the error messages, and the slowness, and the iOS incompatibilities ? (amazingly, the last iOS Reader version worked almost OK.. but the newest version doesnt seem to work with my form on my iphone4) If it will enable any version of the iOS to send my form correctly and more transparently, then it might be worth the money...$14.95 a MONTH you say. hmmmmm...Better be good.
Another problem is, that I really don't need 5000 forms a month submitted. I think its like 70-100 or less....Got any plans for that? Maybe I'm just not BIG ENOUGH to use Adobe's services, however in this case, I really don't care whose I do use as long as the product works most correctly for my customers as well as us. Like I said, If I'm doing the best I can, I won't change anything, and still use the other third party, If Adobe has a better solution, then i'm all for that as well. In the meantime, Thanks for any help you can provide on this...

Need help with trim and null function
Hi all,
I need help with a query. I use the trim function to get the first three characters of a string. How do I write my query so if a null value occurs in combination with my trim to say 'Null' in my results?
ThanksHi,
Thanks for the reply. What am I doing wrong?
SELECT trim(SUBSTR(AL1.user_data_text,1,3)),NVL
(AL1.user_data_text,'XX')
FROM Table
I want the XX to appear in the same column as the
trim.The main thing you're doing wrong is not formatting your code. The solution may become obvious if you do.
What you're saying is:
SELECT trim ( SUBSTR (AL1.user_data_text, 1, 3))
, NVL ( AL1.user_data_text, 'XX' )
FROM Tablewhich makes it clear that you're SELECTing two columns, when you only want to have one.
If you want that column to be exactly like the first column you're currently SELECTing, except that when that column is NULL you want it to be 'XX', then you have to apply NVL to that column, like this:
SELECT NVL ( trim ( SUBSTR (AL1.user_data_text, 1, 3))
, 'XX'
FROM Table -
I need help with resetting my ichat. When i try to login now it wont let me... it says "AOL Instant Messenger password" and then "iChat can't log in to ... because your login ID or password is incorrect. How do I reset this if I cant log in? When I try to press online the same thing pops up and I have no way of logging in or asking for help.
Hi,
iChat (it would help to know which version) can accept Apple IDs as valid AIM Screen Names.
However if you have iChat 5 or earlier you cannot use ones ending in @me.com or @icloud.com issued by iCloud. (they can be used in iChat 6 or Messages as these versions make a double login to AIM and Apple to allow the use of the password).
In addition if you are using an Apple ID for an AIM Screen Name the password still needs to keep to the 16 character limit that AIM has.
AN @mac.com name can be used on any version of iChat (Until the 30th June 2014)
As it does not need a double check with Apple you can use it to log in to the AIM Web pages
Login here with an AIM Name registered at AIM or and @mac.com name and see if you get any suspended account messages.
Sometimes account can be suspended. Usually because something has triggered the "Unusual Activity" item.
About a year ago many @mac.com users that travelled out of their own country found themselves suspended when they got home.
If the Name checks out of if an Apple ID the password in known to be 16 characters or Less then do this:-
In Lion upwards open a Finder Window and use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
Select the Library that appears in the menu list.
Navigate to Preferences.
(If you have version earlier than Lion the just navigate to ~/Library/Preferences (that's the Library in you Home - Little House icon - folder)
Fnd com.apple.ichat.aim.plist (even if you are using Messages)
Drag the file to the Trash and Restart the app.

Need help with Airport Express and so on.
Ok so my main problem before getting into what I need help with here is that our MacBooks and now my iPhone 6 plus isn't staying online. Keep getting booted off and then I either have to select the network again or it will eventually go back on. If anyone has a solution or so please feel free to answer that as well. I'm running on Roadrunner with a Netgear 600 wireless router and a motorola modem. Both of which I'll leave the link to below for a better look.
My Main Question: So I'm looking at a new wireless router mainly and possibly a new modem. I know Apple products are trustworthy but how good is the Airport Express and other Airport products. Also what is the Maximum speed and Maximum data speed for the cheapest express station and if anyone knows the speeds of the other devices it would be greatly appreciated.DSL Router to Netgear 5-port Switch and I used the switch to connect to Airport Extreme, TV, Blue-Ray DVD player and DirecTV Receiver.
The AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) is a router so it will do what you need.
You need to reconfigure your setup. Connect the WAN port of the AEBS to the DSL router. Then connect the Netgear switch to one of the LAN ports on the AEBS. The AEBS will properly share the connection.
Maybe you are looking for
