Can I pass in a variable to my application

We are using Business Objects to then bring up an edit screen we made in Application express, we found out we have to know the user who is making the edit must be brought in to do an audit.
if the user name was in the url, could we capture it and then make it a variable to use in application express. Please help, if you have another way would like to hear it.
Thanks,
Doug

Hello,
Are you talking about the logged in user?
You can use &APP_USER. (html) or :APP_USER (bind notation) or v('APP_USER') (plsql)

How can I pass a Presentation Variable (Date) into a prompt

Hello
How can I pass a Presentation Variable (date) into a prompt? I seem to be able to do this successfully for a non-date value but have had no luck with a Date variable.
Here's a simplistic version of what I'm trying to do:
1. I have a Presentation Variable called startDate which is a Date that defaults to this SQL - SELECT "Reporting Dates"."Measure Date" FROM Trading WHERE "Reporting Dates"."Date Name" = 'Current'.
2. I now want to pass this variable into a prompt with SQL like this: SELECT "Position Date"."Position Date" FROM Trading where "Position Date"."Position Date" = date'@{startDate}{2009-04-24}'
I get this error: Datetime value @{startDate}{2009-04-24} from @{startDate}{2009-04-24} does not match the specified format.
Now I can use the exact same syntax in a filter. For example, a simple Answers request where I pick Position Date with a filter saying "Position Date"."Position Date" = date'@{startDate}{2009-04-24}' works fine.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!

Can you provide more information please?
1. What is the format of the first date prompt, is it YYYY-MM-DD or?
2. Which data type is Position Date."Position Date" in the physical layer, date or date time?
3. What is the column formula in the first prompt?
4. The first prompt is set to drop-down or?
5. If you are using this SQL Results in the second prompt:
SELECT "Position Date"."Position Date" FROM Trading where "Position Date"."Position Date" = date '@{startDate}{2009-04-24}'
then @{startDate} must be in YYYY-MM-DD format to work properly, otherwise (for example):
datetime value 01/01/2000 from 01/01/2000 does not match the specified format.
This doesn't work for example:
SELECT Times.time_id FROM "Normal model" where Times.time_id =date '01/01/2000'

Can you pass a session variable in a CFC bind?

I have a page (dsp_compReqSCM.cfm) that (via a session variable) displays an application value. From this page (via a CFFORM) I would like to have that session variable passed along to a cfc(getDistinct.cfc). I can't quite get the syntax correct and am hoping to get some assistance. When I code #session.this_appl# in dsp_ReqComps.cfm, I get an error stating Element not found PTS (which is the value of session.this_appl) and that the bind cannot occur. If I pass session.this_appl (NO ##) in dsp_ReqComps.cfm, I get an error stating Element not found session and that the bind cannot occur.   If I pass 'session.this_appl' or "session.this_appl" in dsp_ReqComps.cfm, I get an error stating Element not found 'session (or "session) and that the bind cannot occur.
dsp_compReqSCM.cfm calls dsp_ReqComps.cfm via cfform

<cfwindow initshow="true" center="true" width="430" height="340">

     where app_abbrev = #appl_in#
   </cfquery>
    <cfreturn QueryConvertForGrid(Qcomponents, page, pageSize)>
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
Any advice you can give is greatly appreciated!
Libby H.

@Libby H
There are 2 things.
1) The name of the component the grid binds to(distinctComponents) is different from the name of the CFC(getDistinct).
2) Session variables are also available to components. There is therefore no need to pass them explicitly to a function. In any case, it is always advisable to test for the existence of a session variable before using it.
Your code would then be something like
<cfform>
     <cfgrid name="componentsGrid"
             format="html"
             pagesize=10
             striperows="yes"
             bind="cfc:distinctComponents.getDistinct({cfgridpage},{cfgridpagesize },{cfgridsortcolumn},{cfgridsortdirection})"
             selectmode="row" >
         <cfgridcolumn name="Component_type" header="Component Type" width="400">
     </cfgrid>
</cfform>
</cfwindow>

<cfcomponent>
    <cffunction name="getDistinct" access="remote" returntype="struct">
        <cfargument name="page">
        <cfargument name="pageSize">
        <cfargument name="gridsortcolumn">
        <cfargument name="gridsortdir">
<cfset var Qcomponents = ''>
    <cfif gridsortcolumn EQ "">
   <cfset gridsortcolumn = "ASC">
</cfif>
        <cfif gridsortdir EQ "">
   <cfset gridsortdir = "ASC">
</cfif>
<cfparam name="session.this_appl" default="your_default_value">
   <cfquery name="Qcomponents" datasource="Tax">
      select DISTINCT(component_type) from ctl_components
     where app_abbrev = #session.this_appl#
   </cfquery>
    <cfreturn QueryConvertForGrid(Qcomponents, page, pageSize)>
</cffunction>

How can I pass the session attributes to other applications?

I need to pass a value across the web application. Is it possible?
I use Forward to redirect the page in JPF. Before redirection, I set some attribute/value in session. In new application, I found the atttribute value is null. Is there a way to pass the value between web applications.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Two different Webapps doesn't share the same session , they have two different. So as far as i known you have to use something like a db to pass variables or another common way. Maybe when you redirect you can store an atribute to the HttpRequest and get it in your other app.Something very simple is to fix the url like that

How Can I Pass a Bash Variable to AppleScript?

Here's the deal. I'm used to just using sudo to edit files I don't have write access to, but the mate command doesn't work with sudo, so I end up entering my password twice (once with sudo and again when I want to save the file). To get around this I decided to sidestep the mate command completely and write my own script that will let me open TextMate either normally or as root using sudo. Here's what I have so far:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
tm=`ps ax | grep '[T]extMate'`
if [ "$tm" = ""]; then
/Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/MacOS/TextMate &
fi
osascript << EOT
tell application "TextMate"
activate
open "$@"
end tell
EOT
I originally tried just passing the files as arguments directly to the TextMate executable, but for some reason it opens them all as blank files instead of opening the existing files, so I figured I'd use AppleScript to open them once the application is open. The problem is that "$@" doesn't return all the arguments passed to the script, and I don't know what the AppleScript equivalent is (if there is one), so I need a way of passing that value directly to my AppleScript so I can tell it which files to open. I have no idea how to do that, though. Any ideas?

That's exactly what the mate command does, and as I said, that's not what I want. I can't run TextMate with sudo and get root privileges that way because open will be run as root but the actual application itself will still be run normally. The only way I can open an app with root privileges (that I know of) is to use sudo to run the executable inside the app directly (sudo /Applications/SomeApp.app/Contents/MacOS/SomeApp). Opening it that way lets me open multiple instances of the same app, though, so I have to check if it's already open, and it doesn't bring the app to the front, so I use AppleScript to do that. Then once the app is running, I open the files in it. This way I can run the script with sudo and edit files that I don't have write privileges for without TextMate asking me for my password when I want to save them.

Can't show correctly a variable height content application

I've an apllication with no fixed height (it loads dinamicaly
content which has no fixed sizes). When I launch the application
into a navigator, if object param height isn't defined then the
application is clipped and if object param height is defined with
100% and the height size of the loaded content is bigger than the
navigator screen is clipped also.
Is there any way to adjust dinamicaly the height of an
application? don't the navigator screen receive any resize event
from the flex app?
tnks in adv.

Hi,
It's a bit of a roundabout way of doing it but you can convert the page to bytes and then back in to text using the [text.encoding] accelerator:
$JP_MSSITE = Invoke-WebRequest -ContentType "text/xml;charset=utf8" http://www.microsoft.co.jp
$con = $JP_MSSITE.ParsedHtml.title
$la = [system.text.encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes($con)
[text.encoding]::Unicode.GetString($la)
Produces:
ꛃ韂ꗂꛃ鳂곂ꏃ菂黂ꏃ苂꓂ꏃ苂꿂ꏃ菂귂ꏃ苂뷂ꏃ菂闂ꏃ菂裂ꋃ铂苂楍牣獯景⁴慊慰㩮쌠슣슂쎽슣슃쎕슣슃쎈슣슂쎦슣슂쎧슣슂Ⲣ쌠슣슂쎪슣슃쎳슣슃쎩슣슂쎤슣슃ⲳ쌠슣슂쎹슣슃쎞슣슃쎼슣슃쎈슣슃쎕슣슂쎩슣슃ⲳ쌠슣슂쎵슣슃쎝슣슃쎼슣슃Ⲉ쌠슣슂쎻슣슂쎭슣슃쎥슣슃쎪슣슃쎆슣슂ⲣ쌠슣슃쎀슣슂쎦슣슃쎳슣슃쎭슣슃쎼슣슃ⲉ쌠슣슂쎢슣슃

CAN I PASS FORM VARIABLES TO THE DATABASE PROCEDURE IN PERSONALIZATION

When I try to use form variable in the database procedure call from personalization I get the attached error.
Under forms personalization
From Actions tab --> builtin --> Execute Procedure when I call a database procedure and pass one of the form variable as parameter I get "ora-01008 couldn't be validate" error
Can we pass on form variables to the database package using personalization ? If yes, then is this the right way?

I tried customizing the Quoting Form, it works.
What you have done is correct, but this is how you call it

end'
here
qothddet_main : block name

How do I pass a local variable as a parameter to a JSP Tag File?

I wrote a custom JSP tag file, and I want to pass a local variable to it through a parameter, like this:
<% Integer someValue = new Integer(-5); %>
<my:TestTag value="someValue"/>
This doesn't work though - the result is the string someValue. Trying to do this doesn't work either:
<% Integer someValue = new Integer(-5); %>
<my:TestTag value="someValue"/>
the value attribute ends up being null.
I know I can work arount by putting the local variable in the request attributes then using ${}, but that seems like a lot of unecessary work. Does anyone know I can just pass a local variable to the custom tag through the custom tags parameter list?

I'm far from beeing an expert, but this may be a clue (?)
Basically, the rule is: everything you want to be considerred as Java must be in a
JSP tag.
As an example, think of how you would do to pass the litteral string "someValue" otherwise. Then you may imagine other related issues...

Is it save to use class variables in stateful application modules?

I've a simple question of understanding: Can I savely use class-variables in stateful application modules?
Consider the following example:
public class myStateFullAppModuleImpl extends ApplicationModuleImpl
private int myVar=0;
public int doMyWork()
myVar++;
return myVar;
Is it save to use "myVar" this way considering AM-pooling? Or should I save "myVar" in the session instead?
Thanks

Please see reply at:

Can i pass parameter or global variable in view from 6i form

hi master
sir can i pass parameter or global variable in view from 6i form
i use view for some diff column calculation within the date then i use
where date between data1 and date2
in view but view not create
please give me idea how i pass external value in view
thank
aamir

Hi Antony!
I feel it may not produce the right results if you
dont include the where clause and using only group by
in view.You felt? Please clear, logical thoughts put here, not feelings.
(It may very well have all the Debit, Credit
for all the Accid where as the user wants only for
r some date range)Data range is determinated in Form by user, so if view should give final data set then you must back
on Ranjana first question: How to pass parameter or global variable to view from 6i form?
And also as Ranjit pointed out, If you have only
accid, sum(debit), sum(credit) in View, wheres this
enddate ??Of course, column entdate (or enddate?) must be included in view...
Cheers!

How can I pass environment variables to the child process?

How can I pass environment variables to the child process? This is what I tried and it didn't work.
     static public void main (String[] args) throws Exception {
          ProcessBuilder b = new ProcessBuilder("java", "-cp", ".", "Child");
          Map<String, String> map = b.environment();
          map.put("custom.property", "my value");
             b.redirectErrorStream(true);
          Process p = b.start();
          BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
          String line = null;
          while (null != (line = reader.readLine())) {
               System.out.println(line);
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          System.out.println("The value of custom.property is : " + System.getProperty("custom.property"));
     }and the result is:
The value of custom.property is : null

Complete test:

Can we Pass two variable values in to one Varaible which is Cust Exit?

Hi all,
Can we pass two Variable values to a Variable which is Custexit?(For Example posting Period and the fiscalyear in to the FicalPeriod )
Regards

Hello,
For that example you had to "convert" both post period and fiscalyear into fiscalperiod, and yes it is possible, but not throwing up the two values, you had to do it yourself in the user exit code.
