Call url from a menu

Hi,
It appears that a URL can't be called from a menu using the Portal toolset because the get_menu_link function doesn't work in this release. You get an insufficient privilege error. This is now a bug, #1852576, which development is working on.
Does anyone know a workaround?
Thanks in advance,
Larry

Do you mean you are coding the HTML yourself?
Firefox will interpret links that do not start with a protocol (e.g., http://) (or with //) as being on the same site displaying the page. For links to external sites, make sure to use the full URL starting with the protocol, or at least starting from the //.
Does that fix it?

Calling url from a form - err using ".value" method

I'm trying to call url from a form, which seems to be the subject of many of these Posts.
I have a form with a combo box/LOV and a button. The LOV will read a url into the combo box from a table of url's.
I used the following code in the "OnClick" Java Script Event Handler section, which I pieced together from other posts in this and other forums. (i.e. I'm a pl/sql programmer trying to use Java Scripts for the first time).
OnClick
var X = FORM_DRWING.DEFAULT.A_DRILLDOWN_PATH.value;
run_form(x);
When I attempt to run this form from the "manage" window, I get a run time error "FORM_DRWING is undefined" upon clicking the button. FORM_DRWING "IS" the name of the form!
The runform() function in the "before displying form" pl/sql code section is
htp.p('<script language="JavaScript1.3">
< !--
function runForm(v_link)
window.open(V_LINK);
//-->
</script>');
This code was from yet another Post.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Larry

Hi Larry,
the problem could be that you need to preface your form with 'document.'.
i.e.
var X = document.FORM_DRWING.DEFAULT.A_DRILLDOWN_PATH.value;

I'm using this code for calling a browser, you might try out as well...

SAP BW 7 - Call URL from Right Click Menu

Is it possible to make a http call from the right click menu? I know this was possible in 3.5, but the new code seems to have limited my ability to edit the options that appear when I right click on a field and I need to make a call out to another web server for some external data. Is this possible?
Any information that anyone has about a potential work around would be great!!
Thx.

Kristine,
Have you tried using RRI (Transaction RSBBS)? You can call URL , pass values etc.

Call URL from procedure?

Hi
We have a Crystal Report Server which hosts Crystal Report and now we want to invoket report from PL/SQL procedure/function is it possible.
Means Is it possible to invoke report by calling report URL from procedure or function.
Thanks,
Kuldeep

You can certainly use UTL_HTTP to call a URL from a procedure. It's not obvious to me, though, whether that is all you need or whether you need to close the loop (i.e. respond to the results of the report) which may be more challenging.
Be aware, of course, that calls via UTL_HTTP are not transactional, so it is entirely possible that the transaction that initiated the call could be rolled back after the UTL_HTTP call was made. For that reason, folks will commonly have a separate job that calls UTL_HTTP asynchronously after the triggering transaction commits.

Calling URL from Web IC

Hi All,
I have to call a URL from the Navigation bar of Web IC.
I have already created a navigation bar profile and links created. but how to call a particular URL either in the personalized or standard area of the Navbar!.
is there anything i have to do with transaction launcher?.
or else any method to attach the URL to the navbar link!.
please help!.
Thank you,
sudeep v d.

Hi Johannes,
I got the problem solved. there is an option
'Define URLs and Parameters' in the Transaction Launcher.
( CRM version 4.0 ).
where you have to create an ID and define the corresponding URL.
as the next step you have to goto to transaction auncher wizard and input this ID + Navbar ID, class name etc.

Get full caller URL from JSP

I have several static Web pages calling a JSP page using IFrame src. Is there a way to get the full URL of calling Web pages within the JSP? Below is an example to illustrate what I have to do. I don't have to call JSP from IFrame src if there is another way to make this work.
JSP is called from:
http://somewhere.com/home/
JSP outputs:
http://somewhere.com/home/
JSP is called from:
http://somewhere.com/work/
JSP outputs:
http://somewhere.com/work/

Each (i)frame spawns a new HTTP request. If you want to do it all in single request, use jsp:include instead of iframe.

Call URL from WD ABAP

Hi ,
Is it Possible to Fire Exit Plug in WDINIT of WD Component to call a Different URL ?.
Requirement is to call a URL on the same page .
Thanks
Nikhil.

Hi nikhilarya ,
Kindly try the below steps
1.create a WDA component (EG : ztest_exit_plg )
2. go to your WINDOW and create your EXIT plug with your URL paramenters
3. now go to your component controller ->Properties tab and create controller usage and select your component name ( i.e ztest_exit_plg )
4. now in your DOINIT method you can call your exit plug (i.e go to code wizard choose ->method call in used controller and give your component name ( i.e ztest_exit_plg ) in the method you can see the exit plug method .
eg code snippet
method WDDOINIT .
DATA lo_ZPC_WD_1 TYPE REF TO IG_ZPC_WD_1 .
lo_ZPC_WD_1 = wd_this->get_zpc_wd_1_ctr( ).
lo_zpc_wd_1->fire_test_exit_plg( url = 'www.sdn.sap.com' ).
endmethod.

Calling URL from servlet

Hi!
I am trying to find a solution to this scenario:
1) A cron job will call a servlet.
2) Servlet calls a URL on remote server.
3) Remote server returns an XML document.
4) Servlet processes/parses the XML document.
5) Servlet stores XML fields into DB.
6) Servlet response (entry to log file) indicates status of transaction.
I'm stuck @ #2. What mechanism can I use to make a call to remote URL? I do not want the returning XML document to display on the client's browser; I want to process it on the back-end.
Thx!

Url in links adding calling url as prefix resulting in not found

when i try to call a URL from a menu or document link (either in self or blank) it creates an entry that reflects the new URL being called as a subpage of the calling URL.
so if i am on website www.mysite.com and i link to www.yoursite.com it creates:
www.mysite.com/www.yoursite.com
any ideas would be helpful. thanks.

Do you mean you are coding the HTML yourself?
Firefox will interpret links that do not start with a protocol (e.g., http://) (or with //) as being on the same site displaying the page. For links to external sites, make sure to use the full URL starting with the protocol, or at least starting from the //.
Does that fix it?

Calling Report from Menu (Oracle Forms 11g)

I'm trying to call a report from a menu item in a menu (that is attached to a form) in Oracle Forms 11g directly and I'm having some difficulty. I know how to call a report from a form and everything works perfectly.
But since in a menu there is no item called "Report" to attach like there is in Forms, I followed on route which is to attach the "rp2rro" PL/SQL library on the menu file (mmb) and I also even did it on the form itself. Then when you convert a menu using the Forms Migration Assistant, it will comment out statements like "ADD_PARAMETER" and replace with calls to packaged procedures/functions from the package "rp2rro". I set all the parameters
RP2RRO.SETOTHERS('PARAMFORM=YES');
RP2RRO.SETDESTYPE('CACHE');
RP2RRO.SETDESFORMAT('PDF');
RP2RRO.SETCOMMUNICATIONMODE(SYNCHRONOUS);
then made the call to the report:
RP2RRO.RUN_PRODUCT(REPORTS, 'MYREPORT', SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME, FILESYSTEM, param_list_id, NULL);
but all i get is the error "FRM-41219: Cannot find report: invalid ID."
The Oracle documentation for integration reports in forms is for when you execute the report within a form not a menu item (that is attached to a form). Any clues?
My environment is:
Oracle (Database, Fusion Middleware) 11g - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
Web Browser - Internet Explorer 7 on Windows XP Professional
Thanks,

and I get a new tab in the browser opening up (which is good at least) with the Oracle Reports Services page saying:
Error
No such Web command ().
Now I've tried putting a URL of a Oracle's website (http://www.oracle.com) and that works perfectly. Another question is, where would the default directory be if I wanted to say call an HTML file? Would it be in the directory of FORMS_PATH where all my fmb, fmx, rdf, pll, etc...files are stored?
Thanks,

I cannot log onto the App Store, the page appears when I call it from the dock or the Apple menu. I can call the log-in box from the menu bar, but on signing in the spinning icon just keeps spinning,(not the beachball). Any suggestions? Using 10.6.7 and u

I cannot log onto the App Store, the page appears when I call it from the dock or the Apple menu and I can call the log-in box from the menu bar, but on signing in the spinning icon just keeps spinning,(not the beachball). Using 10.6.7 and up-to-date on all software. Any suggestions?

Could be a third party app preventing you from being able to login.
Mac App Store: Sign in sheet does not appear, or does not accept typed text
If it's not a third party issue, follow the instructions here.
Quit the MAS if it's open.
Open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left then open the Library folder then the Caches folder.
Move the com.apple.appstore and the com.apple.storeagent files from the Caches folder to the Trash
From the same Library folder open the Preferences folder.
Move these files Preferences folder to the Trash: com.apple.appstore.plist and com.apple.storeagent.plist
Same Library folder open the Cookies folder. Move the com.apple.appstore.plist file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.
Relaunch the MAS.
