Creating a Simple Parameter Form in Portal

I am trying to create a simple parameter form in Oracle Portal 10.1.2. to be able to allow users to enter a parameter on the dashboard that will be passed to discoverer worksheets. However, I can't seem to find any information as to how to do this. All I find is information stating that it can be done.
Can anyone explain this to me or send me a link that explains this?
Many thanks.
Dino

hi
You could look at http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/discoverer/files/viewlets/1012_dashboard.html
I don´t remember if here you create the simple parameter form. But there is a portlet called "Simple Parameter Form", you can find it at Portlet Builders. You can reach this link in your Oracle portal in the Edit link, in the add portlet link.
then you can follow the wizard to create your parameter portlet
After this step you should link the parameters you send through this portlet with the page and the other portlets.
I hope this help

Displaying parameter form in Portal

we have reports created using 9i reports builder and are running them using 9ias portal version 9.0.2.2.22
can we get the parameter form displaying before the report is run, as at the moment it either gives an error because parameters have not been entered, or it runs with the last used parameters which may not be the ones required for this time ( and so reports take awhile to run)

Creating a simple mail form

Hi,
I want to create a simple mail form using portal. The form must not use the HTML "mailto:", cause this requires a mail client to be installed at the customers computer. So I want to use the UTL_SMTP package. I managed to send mails with this package, but the problem is: how do I build my form with lets say 3 fields, so that i can pass the entered values to the SendMail-Funtion? I tried to create a form based on a table, then add new items and delete the table-based-items, but that doesnt work. I cant access the not table-based-items and found the reasons for that in the forums here. Then I tried to do it with a dynamic page, but I didnt succeed in calling my send-mail-function from the dynamic page. How can I do it?

Pascal,
You can use something like this:
Create two tables:
1) Table1
(id NUMBER PRIMARY KEY, sender varchar2(100),
recipient varchar2(100) ,message varchar2(3000) ,subject varchar2(200))
2) Table2
(id NUMBER , sender varchar2(100),
recipient varchar2(100) ,message varchar2(3000) ,subject varchar2(200))
Here Table2 & Table1 are identical. You can use only one table if you do not want to maintain the history of the mails sent.
Base your form on "Table1".
Now pass whatever values you want to pass you can base it through this form to the table1(I mean INSERT).
Calling utl_smtp directly from here won't be a good idea because your form will hang unless the mail is sent.
So create a procedure for sending mails:
it should be something like this:
create or replace procedure send_email (sender IN varchar2, recipient IN varchar2,
message IN varchar2, subject IN varchar2)
is
mailhost varchar2(30) := 'your mail host';
mail_conn utl_smtp.connection;
Vhelo utl_smtp.reply;
Vvrfy utl_smtp.reply;
Vmail utl_smtp.reply;
Vrcpt utl_smtp.reply;
Vdata utl_smtp.reply;
Vquit utl_smtp.reply;
Vtemp number;
VMsg varchar2(4000);
begin
VMsg := 'Subject:'| |subject| |chr(10)| |message;
mail_conn := utl_smtp.open_connection(mailhost,25);
Vhelo := utl_smtp.helo(mail_conn, mailhost);
Vvrfy := utl_smtp.vrfy(mail_conn, recipient);
Vmail := utl_smtp.mail(mail_conn, sender);
Vrcpt := utl_smtp.rcpt(mail_conn, recipient);
vdata := utl_smtp.data(mail_conn, VMsg);
Vquit := utl_smtp.quit(mail_conn);
-- Handle the error
end;
create or replace procedure call_send_email
cursor Cur1 is
select * from table1;
is
for vcur1 in cur1
loop
send_email(vcur1.sender, cur1.recipient, vcur1.message, vcur1.subject);
insert into table2 values(vcur1.id,vcur1.sender, vcur.recipient,
vcur1.message, vcur1.subject);
delete from table1 where id = vcur1.id;
End Loop;
commit;
exception
--handle exception
end;
now call this procedure (call_send_mail) from dbms_job
Hope this helps,
Chetan.

This question is best suited to the Oracle9iAS Portal Applications forum. But, have you tried a form based on a procedure?

Using a Simple Parameter Form Portlet with a Report Portlet to Search DB

My organization registers clients for workshops in iLearning.We use iPortal for our web site. I would like to use a Simple Parameter Form Portlet for clients to conduct a search on the data that is in iLearning and have it displayed in a Report Portlet on a separate page. I have been able to bring the iLearning data into the Report Portlet but I have not been successful in setting up the Simple Parameter Form Portlet to do a search on the data and then have it displayed. Any suggestions.

hi,
i just tested this in portal 10.1.4 and it works fine. you can fire an event and pass a parameter from a simple parameter form portlet and consume this page parameter in a portlet builder reports component. there is some documented behavior in bug 3321558 that has to do with personaliziation (customization in older releases). if you enter some personalization the page parameter gets ignored. for more information on this please contact oracle support services.

b Simple Parameter Form & Page Parameter /b

Hello,
 
i have a problem with a simple Parameter Form:
I have one page; on this page i have a simple Parameter Form and an OmniPortlet (the pageParameter is 'Field1' and is mapped to both portlets!)
 
now my problem: when i type my parameter in the simple param form it is displayed in the url (http://mypage&Field1=10000). the omniportlet displays the right data. all right so far!
 
but now i type a new parameter in the simple parameter form and now the url looks like this: http://mypage&Field1=10000&Field1=20000 The parameter shouldn't be added to the old url, but a new url should be created with one new parameter.
 
Where is the problem? i cant find any solution?
 
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
There is a step you are missing.
Open the page properties for the page where the Simple Parameter form and the Omniportlet resides.
Go to the Events Tab.
Here you will see "Portlet Events". There will be a list of portlets that are added on this page. Click on the "Simple Parameter Form".
Under this you will find a link called "Submit". When you click on this link, it opens options on the right hand side of the page.
Here, under the heading "When this event is raised:" Click the Radio Button "Go to page:" and then click on the button for the LOV on the right side of the box, a pop-up opens, select this page itself. (For Example, if the name of the page is PAGE01 (where we have added this Simple Parameter Form and the OmniPortlet), under the Page Group PG01, then click on the link called Return Object for PAGE01 under PG01 from the pop-up).
After doing the above step do this:
Right Below this, you will find another heading called "Page Input" which will have the list of page parameters. From the first drop down list select "Event Output" and from the second drop down list select "Parameter 1" (If there is only one parameter. But if you have more than one parameter, select the "Event Output" & "Parameter 2" respectively, and so on). Make sure that you match the correct page parameter with the Parameter drop down otherwise your results will vastly vary or there might be no result.
We are pretty much done.
Now just click on the buttons "Apply" then "Ok"
Test your page. It will not add &Field1=<value>&Field1=<value>...... any number of times you run this.
I hope I was of some help to you.

Saabir.

Create data control from java class, not see "ADF Parameter Forms" option

Hi,
I have created a Fusion Web Application (ADF) in jdev 11g. In the application model project, I created a java class. Inside the java class, I have a public method as below
public Asset [] searchAsset3(SearchTerm s) // SearchTerm is a java bean. It implements java.io.Serializable.
I created data control from my java class. After that, I see an xml file generated under the same folder of my java class. Here is the xml content.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<JavaBean xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adfm/beanmodel" version="11.1.1.53.62"
id="AIAAsset" Package="oracle.apps.aia.oer.model"
BeanClass="oracle.apps.aia.oer.model.AIAAsset" isJavaBased="true">
<MethodAccessor IsCollection="true"
Type="com.flashline.registry.openapi.entity.Asset"
BeanClass="com.flashline.registry.openapi.entity.Asset"
id="searchAsset" ReturnNodeName="Asset"
CollectionBeanClass="UpdateableCollection">
<ParameterInfo id="name" Type="java.lang.String" isStructured="false"/>
<ParameterInfo id="version" Type="java.lang.String" isStructured="false"/>
<ParameterInfo id="description" Type="java.lang.String"
isStructured="false"/>
</MethodAccessor>
<MethodAccessor IsCollection="true"
Type="com.flashline.registry.openapi.entity.AssetSummary"
BeanClass="com.flashline.registry.openapi.entity.AssetSummary"
id="searchAssetSummary" ReturnNodeName="AssetSummary"
CollectionBeanClass="UpdateableCollection">
<ParameterInfo id="name" Type="java.lang.String" isStructured="false"/>
<ParameterInfo id="version" Type="java.lang.String" isStructured="false"/>
<ParameterInfo id="description" Type="java.lang.String"
isStructured="false"/>
<ParameterInfo id="type" Type="java.lang.String" isStructured="false"/>
</MethodAccessor>
<MethodAccessor IsCollection="true"
Type="com.flashline.registry.openapi.entity.Asset"
BeanClass="com.flashline.registry.openapi.entity.Asset"
id="searchAsset3" ReturnNodeName="Asset"
CollectionBeanClass="UpdateableCollection">
<ParameterInfo id="s" Type="com.flashline.registry.openapi.query.SearchTerm"
isStructured="true"/>
</MethodAccessor>
<ConstructorMethod IsCollection="true"
Type="oracle.apps.aia.oer.model.AIAAsset"
BeanClass="oracle.apps.aia.oer.model.AIAAsset"
id="AIAAsset"/>
</JavaBean>
Then, in application user interface project, I created a JSPX page. From the data controls palette, I want to drag and drop the searchAsset3 onto my page. However, I don't see an option for me to choose "Create -> Parameters -> ADF Parameter Form". I only see "Create -> Methods". Unlike other public methods (e.g.searchAssetSummary and searchAsset) which have simple data type as input, I can see the "Create -> Parameters -> ADF Parameter Form" option when I drag and drop to my jspx page. Is that something I missed while creating data controls?
Thanks.
Arnold.

Then, my other question is how do you do the bindings? I drag and drop the attributes from SearchTerm bean. Now the pagedef file has the AttributeValues added but my method is actually expecting one input parameter of type SearchTerm. How do you bind the attributes to the input of the method? Thanks.
See below of my pagedef xml file.

Display Report Parameter Form on Web Browser

I have prepared a report (with a user parameter form )using Report Developer. Then I call the report in a web-based application through the web-browser. the parameter form display normally, except that there are two buttons on the top : submit and return. Also, the layout of the parameter form is not consistent with the style of my application.
1. Can I customized the layout of the parameter form so that it can have consistent style with my web-based program ? If yes, how?
2. Can I suppress the buttons shown on the parameter form ?
(Our Report Server is 9iAS )

Hi
Reports built-in parameter form is deliberately fairly simple in capabilities (otherwise, you'd have all the functionality of Forms inside of Reports). However, with JSPs in Reports 9i, you can go farther to create a custom parameter form of your own liking.

Creating a reader enabled form for windows environment

Am stumped on the above and would appreciate any advice.
I've created a simple interactive form in Indesign CS6 and exported to Acrobat. Using Acrobat Pro X I've saved it as a Reader Extended pdf enabling additional features.
The file works perfectly when users fill in the form using Acrobat Reader on a Mac, allowing them to save the file with the content they've added to the form fileds. Users who are working on a Windows/pc computer however, are unable to save the form with the text/data they've added, only print the form with new content. After printing the form clears the data and they are left with blank form fields.
Does anyone know if this is a Mac/PC problem? Or is there another step I need to do to allow pcs to save this file?
Thanks!

Hi George,
Thanks for your reply. No other errors or messages came up when opening the file.
The file was set to open automatically in full screen mode, however when trouble shooting the above problem I decided to turn this option off...and now amazingly the file is fine on Windows systems. Clients are now able to add content in to the form fields, save and print the file with no problems. Weird!

Value to be assigned to a parameter field (web report parameter form)

In a Oracle 10g report In parameter form we have DESTYPE and DESNAME. In database we have PRINTERNAME. we are using run_product to open the report. Now we are in the url
http://192.168.178.29:7779/reports/rwservlet/getjobid2214?server=rep_inexpas02_OracleFRSR2
Parameter form:
When we change the value of DESTYPE to Printer I want assign printername in DESNAME field. Other wise DESNAME should be blank. Is there any trigger like when change field of DESTYPE in parameter form (web) assign some value to DESNAME. (AFTER PARAMETER FORM AND BEFORE REPORT ARE NOT SOLVING THE PURPOSE)

Is it correct taht you use forms to invoke the report? If so, a possible solution is to "create" your own parameter-form in forms itself, where you can do such validations and logic as you need. Then run the report without parameter-form.
