Defining Items Passed Using Hyperlink in InfoView

Hi Experts,
I'm trying to use the hyperlink function in WebIntelligence InfoView to pass parameters to another report. Yet instead of the typical functionality where you would pass a particular value, I wish instead to pass the field name itself.
Think of it like a drill down. I have a high level report with a number of fields in it, including 'Total Amount'. If I click on the 'Total Amount' field, I want to execute another report that will be run with 'Total Amount' as the selection for the 'Field' prompt on that report.
So far I have been able to pass values very easily, but I can't seem to get the field name across. Any idea how to do this?
Thanks,
Brian

This is possible using the =NameOf([FIELD]). That said, it doesn't fully solve the problem given that I can't automatically have the field titles turned into hyperlinks to another report.
Another 'feature' I suppose.

  • Use hyperlink to open another page , and pass some parameters to that page

    Hi
    Thank you for reading my post.
    How i can use hyperlink to open another jsp file in a new window meanwhile pass some parameters to it.
    for example i need something like this :
    http://127.0.0.1:8080/myProj/faces/Viewmessage.jsp?messageID=10
    i can not use session bean because i must open that in a new window and use hyperlink not Action
    Thank you

    I tried the following in the equivalent of your Viewmessage (page bean):
            ExternalContext eContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext();
            String text = "Parameters: ";
            Iterator it = eContext.getRequestParameterNames();
            Map requestParams = eContext.getRequestParameterMap();
            while (it.hasNext()) {
                String key = (String)it.next();
                String value = (String)requestParams.get(key);
                text += "; " + key + " = " + value;
            staticText1.setText(text);That works as expected when you reach that new page via a hyper link.
    The session object is also the same as in your `old' window. So be careful about synchronization!
    I hope this helps.

  • Passing page_url using hyperlink

    Hi,
    I would like to pass the page_url of the show_edit_mode to other procedures that I am calling using hyperlink(anchor tag).
    This works fine if I am using hidden variables & submitting the page. But if I am passing it as an argument of the hyperlink, I am getting
    'Internal Server Error'.
    Once the '?' and '&' arguments in the page_url passed parameter is removed, there is no error.
    Any idea on how I can pass page_url across procedures using Hyperlinks..
    Any idea is welcome..
    Thanks in advance..

    Sajith,
    you need to encode the URL by using the utl_url package that provides public APIs for both encoding and decoding purposes.

  • Prevent values being passed using Link Item on Web Application Designer

    Hello all,
    I have a question regarding 7.0 Web Application Designer. I am using the web item Link Item and using the command OPEN_TEMPLATE_DIALOG to open a new WAD Template BUT I do not want to pass the values from the original WAD template to the new one. Is there a way to restrict passing any values to the new template? Am I using the correct command OPEN_TEMPLATE_DIALOG?
    To better describe what is happening, my characteristics and key figures are being passed from my original WAD template to my new WAD template when using the OPEN_TEMPLATE_DIALOG. I do not the values to be passed, only to open up the new WAD Template with its own reports.
    Thank you.

    Sorry maybe I mistated the problem. I do not have an issue with the variable screen when transitioning to the second WAD template screen, I have a problem due to the values from the first WAD template being passed to the second WAD template.
    My first WAD template using the Link Item is only for the ability to click on the text to open up a second WAD template which I do not want the values to be passed from the First template.
    I hope this clears up the confusion.
    Thanks

  • Restrict Item Category Item Creation using Reference Only

    Hi All
    Here is the scenario, I want  "Restrict Item Category Item Creation using Reference Only"
    a.Retrieve document number VBELN from sales order header table VBAK for the current order. Check if the sales order is of type ‘ZAB’ referencing field AUART in table VBAK.
    note : Any changes to existing sales order "ZAB" will be performed in thesame sales order type(ZAB) in VA02 transaction.
    b.If step a is passed, check internal table structure for sales order item level as XVBAP-PSTYV for possible item category values of 'ZDEF' for the entered line item and document number (XVBAP-VBELN).
    c.If the cancel/change item category values are found on the line item, check internal table structure for document flow (XVBFA) if the cancel/change item category was created as reference:
    i.Check if entry exists in XVBFA for the preceding document number field VBELV with value equal to value in the subsequent document number field VBELN. This value must equal the current sales document number VBELN in table VBAK.
    ii.The above check must be done in conjunction with the following check:
                1.Check if entry exists in XVBFA for the preceding document type field VBTYP_V with value ‘C’ equals subsequent document type field VBTYP_N with value of ‘C’.
    d.Once the above checks are passed, collect the item number from internal table XVBAP (Field: POSNR) for the change/cancel item category line item added to the sales order.
    e.Check if the item number retrieved in the previous step exists in table VBAP (Field: POSNR) with an item category that is not part of the list of cancel/change item category defined in step b.
    f. Check if the item number collected in the previous step exists in the subsequent item number (Field : POSNN) in internal table XVBFA for the row that passed checks in steps b and c.
    g.If item number exists, check if this subsequent item number field equals the preceding item number field value (Field: POSNV) in table XVBFA.
    h.If step g fails, generate an error message stating that the user needs to the create the cancel/change item category line item with reference to the original line item and do not allow the user to proceed with the transaction.
    i.If step g succeeds, allow the user to proceed with the transaction.
    can any one send me the logic for this scenario.

  • How do YOU organize pages, create a site map, and use hyperlinks?

    I had to get out of bed to bring this up with you all; I couldn't stop thinking about this next learning curve. It is: How shall I organize the topics I have in my website? One extreme is to have all of the topics showing in all of the nav bars at the top of all the pages. The opposite extreme is ............ I cannot truly visualize it.
    I think that the big obstacle for me is that i don't want to hide any pages so well, so slickly, that they can be found only by the most focused and persistent website visitor. I can see how some pages could be lost to a lot of casual website viewers.
    On the other hand, there are some pages that are natural groups. In my case, the U.B.R.O.L. group is that. It is made up of five people and me. I have one page for a photo slideshow which has one photo of each of us, but then I have a separate page for Nigel and his photos, a separate page for Vali and her long bio and photos, and a separate page for Helen, her short bio and her many photos.
    Tonight I tried making hierarchies using hyperlinks, so that U.B.R.O.L. shows up in the Site Menu, but Nigel, Vali, Helen, and Peggy do not show up. To get to their photos, one would have to click onto the U.B.R.O.L. group page. Once at the U.B.R.O.L. page, one can then click onto Vali's, Nigel's, and Helen's page, and then from each of their pages there are 3 hyperlinks: one to return to U.B.R.O.L., and three more hyperlinks to click onto the others who have personal pages. (Peggy does not have a personal page because she is shy and never gave me more photos or a bio of herself. She prefers anonymity.)
    But even though I put those hyperlinks on those pages, I am having an internal concept war, my friends, and a solution is not at hand.
    I am thinking of how I am going to deal with the pages made for me, my husband, and my husband and I together.
    I cannot imagine clearly how a Site Menu would look at the topmost level and much less of an idea how each page would look several levels down.
    I welcome any direction you could send my way. I would like to know how you organized your pages, how you decided which pages would not be listed in the nav bar, and what you did to/with the pages that were not listed in the nav bar.
    Would you please send me the URL of your website so that I can SEE what you are talking about? I am not good at imagining what people say; I have to see it rather than imagine it.
    Lorna in Southern California

    Lorna, mostly from reading books, Iearned the following things.
    •Don't make me think (actually the title of an excellent book on webdesign)
    •Every information should be available in at most 3 clicks
    •Tell them where they are, where they can go and where they have been.
    IMHO, iWeb lends itself fairly well for these last 2 criteria. The Navbar is a very useful tool and I suggest you do not go too far away from it.
    On my current issue of the toy theatre magazine (which is NOT a beautiful website) I wanted to go in 3 languages; English, German and Dutch. I knew i was courting disaster but one can be so ambitious. This in fact meant that I had to do 3 sites. Sites being defined as a group of pages structurally belonging to each other.
    So I made an Index/Splash page with a nice picture, a title and 3 flags. These being links to the 3 versions. (I did not want to make them think on the Splashpage).
    Clicking a flag brings the visitor to a Contents page on their version of the site. Just like the Contents page in a book. Here they can choose to go to any of the items and on each and every page of the site is a Contents button that returns them there.
    Pages are numbered in the middle of the website, and to the leftside the number of (and link to) the previous page and to the right the same for the next page.
    The current issue is number 25, ( http://www.vischmarktpapierentheater ), the previous 24 were done in Freeway and the design stems from there.
    The translation to iWeb did work well but in the end the result was disappointing mostly because I wanted some slideshows, hated the "None .Mac accounts" version and went overboard with Keynote slideshows, really ugly.
    The other problem stems from the triple language idea. This meant that I had to do either 3 versions of each slideshow, or make one version accessible for every language. This menat some convoluted linking which I will never do again.
    In short If you want to go "deep", make various sites and link each starting page to you Index/Splash, keep the starting pages of each site on the Navbar Make a Contents sidebar or something like that on each of the starting pages, and than you can go anywhere within the required 3 clicks.
    Good Luck

  • SSO doesn't work with Xcelsius using QAAWS, outside Infoview

    Hi,
    We have some xcelsius dashboards using QAAWS to retrieve data from database
    I would like to know whether SSO works with xcelsius dashboards using QAAWS outside infoview.Currently we get login screen to enter username/password.we are using Windows AD as the authentication type in the environment.

    You got it right. Within the InfoView, your Xcelsius-swf gets the CELogonToken as a parameter field to authenticate against the data for example. If you access another Xcelsius-Dashboard from within a swf you can even pass the LogonToken on.
    Using dashboard and QaaWS outside of InfoView, the user will have to enter username and password before the data is fetched. At least that is the way it works here.

  • Report Navigation Using Hyperlinks to Another Report (not drill down)

    I would like 2 sample reports.  The first report would have a hyperlink to the second report.  I want to publish these in BusinessObjects Enterprise and see this functionality using the Dhtml viewer preferably using the "my infoview".
    Anyone have or know of samples for this?

    Go to report painter, in the report display you can see the output types.
    choose output area as Info control, Navagation control, dril down control, detail control.

  • Use HyperLink(mailto:...) to open a file?

    A question was posted previously about linking to an image file. The HYPERLINK function allows this if the image is on a web server and can be accessed via http:// but you can't use HYPERLINK to access a local file on your computer (or at least I can't seem to). The HYPERLINK function will also take a mailto: command and will open up your mail client with the address, subject, and message of your desire. I was wondering if it could also use the "attachment=..." part of the mailto command to attach a file to the email. Thus you could bring up a local image in your email client. I failed at getting it to work but I may have been formatting the command wrong. Anyone have experience with the proper formatting or anyone know if this is not a supported functionality?

    As System Events returns an URL when we ask it for a file's properties, I tried to use this URL with no results but the files where on a single machine.
    Maybe it behaves differently on a network.
    To get the URL I uses this script:
    set thefile to "Western 4:photos ???:PA030012.JPG"
    tell application "System Events" to get URL of disk item thefile
    the result is something like:
    "file://localhost/Volumes/Western%204/photos%20%3F%3F%3F/PA030012.JPG"
    %20 is the description of the space character
    %3F is the description of the question mark character

  • Defining sort order using parameter fields

    Post Author: vandersee
    CA Forum: General
    I've created a report, the contents of which is sorted depending on a parameter selected (method used is as described in the help topic entitled "Defining sort order using parameter fields".  Is it possible to vary the Sort Direction (ascending/descending) using parameters also, so that if I choose to sort by field A it will be ascending, but descending if I choose to sort by field B?

    Post Author: V361
    CA Forum: General
    You can create a Parameter {?Sort Order}  make it a string, and add items A to Z and Z to A and a formula and sort the group using the formula.
    Group Expert, select the group, select options, check use a formula as group sort order
    if {?Sort Order} = "A to Z" then crAscendingOrder else crDescendingOrder
    And your group will sort based on what is selected in the parameter.

  • Refreshing Business Area - "This item is used elsewhere"

    We are preparing for an upgrade to Banner 8, and from the Discoverer side, I know one of the first tasks is to refresh the business areas in Discoverer Admin (10.1.2.2). In a test instance, I tried refreshing a couple separate folders in one of the most-used BA's; no problem.
    When I tried to refresh the entire BA (about 300 folders), I looked through the results and didn't see anything unexpected. After I hit OK, though, it worked for a while then gave me an error box - "This item is used elsewhere, its datatype cannot be changed. Error refreshing the definition of the End User Layer." No indication of WHICH item, no option other than the "OK" button. When I accept OK, it doesn't appear that anything has been refreshed.
    I would prefer not to refresh each folder individually (and, this is only one of many BA's). Can anyone give me a clue about what it's trying to tell me? For the most part, our BA's are self-contained, but there may be a case where we have a join across different BA's. If anyone has had experience with this issue, I'd appreciate anything you can share. It could be something totally unrelated to the Banner upgrade (the BA's aren't normally refreshed on a regular basis) - but I'm not sure what's the best way to track down the problem. My next plan is to refresh them in groups until I hit the one with the problem, but maybe someone has a better idea.
    And a side question - is there any way to export or copy the list of items it generates - the one where you can examine and check/uncheck individual items before proceeding?
    Thanks much,
    Martha
    Update - well, it wasn't Banner 8 related; more likely related to an earlier Banner upgrade where nobody refreshed the BA's. Normally their internal id (pidm) is numeric, but in one Banner-supplied view it's varchar. For whatever reason, the Discoverer folder had it defined as numeric. If I don't accept that change (changing datatype from numeric to varchar), it refreshes fine. Looks like the issue's been there for a while and hasn't caused us a problem yet. Still, any other input is welcome!
    Edited by: mrigg on Jun 30, 2010 10:32 AM

    Thanks for the quick answers. Working in batches seems to be working for the most part.
    I am running into one other thing that I'll throw out here and see if anyone else has seen it. On two of the BA's I'm trying to refresh, I'm getting an error "Internal EUL Error: No Transaction - there is no current transaction". This doesn't seem to be related to Banner 8 either - I get the same error on the same 2 BA's in our production environment. This is after I select "refresh", and before it comes back with the list of changes.
    The documentation helpfully tells me...
    BI-SVR-03228: Internal EUL Error: NoTransaction - there is no current transaction
    Cause: An internal error has occurred in Discoverer. User might be able to continue working, but the current operation may not have been performed correctly.
    Action: Record the steps and actions taken immediately before this error was reported and contact your customer support representative with the details.
    I can't figure out anything that's different between the 2 BA's that get this error and the dozens that refresh successfully. I've tried closing & restarting Admin - same results.
    Anyone else seen this?
    Thanks!
