Custom UI or editor for input-parameter

I think I need to implement a custom UI editor for an input-paramenter. My input parameter is really a HashTable. I'd like to present a dialog that allows the user to enter any number of key value pairs. The optional "editor" element looks promising because it allows you to specify a ui-component. I have searched and searched for sample code, but haven't found any. Would some kind soul please point me to a resource that shows how to implement such as custom UI (whether it involves the "editor" element or not)?
Here's a link to the ui-component element in the reference:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/livecycle/8.2/programLC/programmer/help/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/w whelp.htm?href=000959.html#1548965&accessible=true
Thanks,
Halynn

I appreciate the reply.
I was actually trying to point to another page, although that page may be applicable. Apparently the URL in my browser window was not sufficient to recreate my state in livedocs. I was looking at the reference for component.xml, specifically where it describes an optional <editor> element of <input-parameter>. This <editor> component also has a child called <ui-component>. I haven't found any sample code that uses these two elements.
I need to call my component with a Map or Hashtable (an arbitrary set of Key/Value String pairs). This Map needs to be easily configurable in LiveCycle Workbench. I've seen numerous operations that popup dialogs for input-parameters and serialize their data. I was thinking that I will have to implement my own dialog.
It sounds like you are suggesting I can achieve this with a variable and the set value service. I don't quite understand. How would I insert the string pairs?
Thanks,
Halynn

Date Format on OWB 11.1.0.7 to use for input parameter for a mapping

All,
What is the Date Format on OWB 11.1.0.7 to use for passing in an input parameter for a mapping to execute?
I have tried '01-01-2010','01-JAN-2010','01.01.2010', 01/01/2010 and I get the following error:

Any information you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hello Shaun,
The function wb_rt_conversions.from_date is (at least in OWB10.2) overloaded and can with input-types as
date, timestamp_unconstrained, timestamp_tz_unconstrained, timestamp_ltz_unconstrained or varchar2.
If it doesn't work with varchar2 I would try Date:
For example: to_date('2010-01-01','YYYY-MM-DD')
I also found this thread:

Set max length for input parameter in SSRS

I have an input parameter (@year) to display a simple report. This input parameter taken Year from user (ex: 2015) manually. Here my problem is to restrict the user to max length of
4. It should allow only (ex:2015) not (ex:20155) like that. Can any one please suggest me how to do this.

Hi SaikumarN,
According to your description, you want to restrict the length of values which user type in the parameter box.
In Reporting Services, it’s not supported to limit the length of the typed value in the parameter box currently. For your requirement, you could provide Microsoft a feature request at
https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer, so that we can try to modify and expand the product features based on your needs.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

How to change data type of input parameter

Hi
In my procedure i declared the data type of "Value Date" Input parameter as Date where as in CR it is showing data type as "Date Time". Can any one please specify how to change to Date.
While prompting for input parameter in description it is showing message as
Please enter Date time in format"yyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss" . To change the content selected "format field" option. But is there any way to change input parameter data type.
Please suggest how to change.
Thanks Sruthi

Hi Sruthi,
all you need to do on this is open the report go to the parameters, select the parameter that you wish to change and click "Edit". This will allow you to change thefield to a date rather than a date time.

Custom action with XML type input and output parameter.

Hi,
I want to develop custom action with xml type input and/or output parameter.
Is there sample code for java side. How is the definition of input and/or output parameter and set/get methods?
does it need special .jar file to develop custom action like this?
Thanks.

Cemil - yes, you can use XML data types. Use the class
com.sap.lhcommon.xml.XMLDataType
for your parameter type. Here is a snippet from a custom action we use to log XML (instead of just returning the #text node like the default logger does):
public class XMLLogger extends ActionReflectionBase
    private String source;
    private String eventType;
    private String textMessage;
    private XMLDataType xmlMessage;
    public XMLLogger()
        log = new Logger("UserLog");
        source = DEFAULT_SOURCE;
        eventType = TYPE_INFO;
        textMessage = "";
        xmlMessage = new XMLDataType();
    public XMLDataType getXmlMessage()
        return xmlMessage;
    public void setXmlMessage(XMLDataType xmlMessage)
        this.xmlMessage = xmlMessage;
    public void Invoke(Transaction transaction, ILog ilog)
        StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
        sb.append('[');
        sb.append(source);
        sb.append("] ");
        sb.append(textMessage);
        sb.append(XMLUtils.convertXmlToString(xmlMessage));
XMLUtils is a helper class we wrote - it's just a bunch of standard Java XML boilerplate code. The important part you need to know is XMLDataType.getDocument() will return an org.w3c.dom.Document.
I hope that was enough information to help.

Table as Input parameter for BAPI in Webdynpro Application

I am creating webdynpro JAVA application to create RFQ, for which ABAP guy written a Custom BAPI called Z_BAPI_INQUIRY_CREATE. I tested this BAPI in SAPGUI it is working fine. From my webdynpro application when I passes header and item parameter, my header getting inserted but my item data is not. It is giving me error like "Table input parameter not found". I am passing table to this bapi. When I tried my code to standard BAPI's (NOT CUSTOM), I am able to insert both HEADER and ITEM data.
In above scenario I have few questions,
1. Is there anything extra we have to do with custom BAPI's? (my BAPIs are in BOR).
2. What is the datatype in webdynpro parallal to table parameter?
3. is there any tutorial available for table parameter? (except FLIGHT examle).
Thanks and regards,
Nitin

Hi Vijayakhanna Raman,
Thanks much for your reply.
Yes I did the same as you mentioned, but still I am getting an error "Table parameter not avaliable is empty".
I am not getting were is the bug. And this is happening only with ZBapi's not with Standard Bapi's.
I am really stucted becouse of this, answer will really get all 10 points.
Here is my code,
     1. First create an instance for bapi and bind the instance to the bapi node.
     Z_Bapi_Inquiry_Change_Input input = new Z_Bapi_Inquiry_Change_Input();
     Zbapirfqitem item =new Zbapirfqitem();
     wdContext.nodeBapi_RFQ_OnHold_Update_Input().bind(input);
     2. Then if u have the import parameter u have to set them by using
     input.setRfq_Number("6");
     input.setCreated_By("NLNS0000");
     //wdContext.currentBapi_RFQ_OnHold_Update_InputElement().modelObject().setRfq_Number("6");
     //wdContext.currentBapi_RFQ_OnHold_Update_InputElement().modelObject().setCreated_By("NLNS0000");
     3. If the bapi has a table parameters then the structure for the table parameters will also be imported In the model class.
DONE!
     4. Set the table parameters by creating the instance for that structure and using this instance set it.
                         item.setUpdateflag("I");
                         item.setItm_Number("000030");
                         item.setMaterial("MAT-NITIN");
                         item.setMatl_Desc("Inserted by Nitin");
                         item.setQuantity(new BigDecimal(4));
                         item.setBase_Uom("PCE");
                         item.setReq_Qty(new BigDecimal(4));
                         item.setBase_Uom1("PCE");
                         item.setList_Price(new BigDecimal(3));
                         item.setList_Curr("");
                         item.setReq_Price(new BigDecimal(4));
                         item.setCurrency("EUR");
                         item.setIndirect_Price(new BigDecimal(4));
                         item.setCurrency_2("EUR");
                         item.setFinal_Price(new BigDecimal(4));
                         item.setCurrency_3("EUR");
                         item.setText_Line("");
                         item.setReq_Date_H(new Date(12-05-06));
                         item.setDirect_Dis(new BigDecimal(4));
                         item.setIndirect_Dis(new BigDecimal(4));
                         item.setFinal_Dis(new BigDecimal(4));
                         item.setProfit_Margin1(new BigDecimal(4));
                         item.setProfit_Margin2(new BigDecimal(4));
                         item.setBrand1("");
                         item.setModel1("");
                         item.setVal_Loccurr1(new BigDecimal(4));
                         item.setCurrency1("");
                         item.setBrand2("");
                         item.setModel2("");
                         item.setVal_Loccurr2(new BigDecimal(4));
                         item.setCurrency2("");
          5. Then add the structure instance to the bapi instance.
     input.addItem(item);
     6. Then Execute the bapi after setting the import parameters.
          //wdThis.wdGetContext().currentBapi_RFQ_OnHold_Update_InputElement().modelObject().execute();
          input.execute();

Log Error : Invalid Input Parameter %s for every SAP B1 Client

Hi Everybody,
in my company we have performed SAP B1 upgrade from 2007A to 8.81 PL07, in two steps upgrading first to PL04.
Everything is working fine for all our clients, we are able to post and work normally with the system.
The only annoying problem is an error message coming up every minute for every client in the log:
SQLMessage Error I Technical Invalid input parameter: %s # # MID=-1 BOID=-1 BO= UserID=manager C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP\SAP Business One\SAP Business One.exe Version=8.81.315 Area= PID=1316 TID=4340 D:\depot\BUSMB_B1\8.8_SP1_REL\SBO\8.8_SP1_REL\Application\__Engines\DBM\__DBMC_DataBase.cpp 9547
I couldn't find anything regarding this topic in the forum, only one similar post but unanswered.
We are using two server: one for the licence server and one for the database (the database server is clustered)
Does anyone have any idea about this? Has it ever happened to anybody?
Thanks for your help

Hi Julie,
it must be a triggered action from the system. The only problem is that log files grow very big, few mb every day, and it is a situation that's not very ideal. And also i don't want to turn them off because it is always a good resource for other errors.
It is very strange that SAP hasn't noticed this behaviour and there isn't any note available for the purpose.
Thanks for your help

Creating a job for a procedure with an input parameter

Hi,
I want to create a job for a procedure ( sp_proc ) with a input parameter.
The input parameter is a date value.
As per the syntax for dbms_job.submit procedure;
dbms_job.submit (
job IN BINARY_INTEGER,
what IN VARCHAR2,
next_date IN DATE,
interval IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT 'NULL',
no_parse IN BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE);
How should the procedure be declared in the 'what' parameter of the dbms_job.submit procedure ?
Please guide.
Thanks.

Hi,
You are wright, I have found this thread [DBMS_JOB -- how to pass parameters to the job|http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:351033761220].

F4 / Help Functionality for input field in custom java iView

Hi,
As we see many F4 help on each input field in a transaction, how can we mimic the same functionality in a Custom Java iView. For example, ME23N, you can search a PO based on some criteria, when i create a new custom java iview using BAPI_PO_DISPLAY, how can provide that F4 or help functionality to the Purchase Order field.
Your help is really appreciated.
Thanks,
Vijay

Hi Vijay,
the F4 Help functionality is always of big concern when you're switching from a R/3 or ABAP-SAP GUI environment to a webfront end. First of all: the convinience you're used to of creating a seach help and adding it to your data fields is gone, i.e. the current development status in the portal/java/webdynpro implies that you have to do most of the work on your own. Simple value helps might not be a problem, but complex ones are (as the one you've described). Here is a link to a tutorial in Java-webdynpro, maybe it gives you an idea:

Declaring input parameter for flag in procedure!!!!!

hi,
can anyone tell how to declare the flag i,e true or false as an input parameter in the procedure.
here is the code wat i have
create or replace procedure test
     cur_out out sys_refcursor
as
begin
     open cur_out for
          select field1
          from Test
          where REPORTING_FLG = 'y' --(here i want the user to select 'Y' or 'N' )
ORDER BY field1;
end TEST;
In the where condition i want the user to select the 'y' or 'N'. So i have to give input parameter i guess. So could anyone let me know how to give input parameter for flag.
Urgent PLZ!!!
Thank u in Advance.

May be this way:
Create or Replace procedure test (cur_out out sys_refcursor,flg in varchar2)
as
begin
open cur_out for select field1 from Test
where REPORTING_FLG = flg
ORDER BY field1;
end TEST;
We can only pass Input parameters!

WSDL for portlet based taskflow - doesn't show up input parameter

Hi,
I have created a taskflow which takes an input parameter in an ADF application. When I drag and drop on the page it works as expected.
My requirement is to show this taskflow as part of webcenter portal app.
I have created portlet entry based on this taskflow. When I deploy this ADF application, in the generated wsdl I am not finding the inputParameter which I have defined in taskflow. I am looking for how to pass parameter when I embed/consume this portlet in webcenter portal.
I can see the parameter in generated [portlet.xml|http://adf-sample.googlecode.com/files/wsrp2.xml] file. And for the taskflow (in portlet section) the parameter is picked in public render parameters.
Any hints would be appreciated.
I am using Jdev 11.1.1.5

Hi Daniel,
Thanks for the update.
Well, I haven't thought of this approach. I will try and let you know. Pls share if you have any reference for this.
Appreciate if you can also share, when to go for taskflow based portlets vs consuming taskflows directly in portal app.
Thanks,
Srini.
