Dynamic Parameterization

Hi,
I have a chart and I want 2 dropdowns with possible variable values. Then a button will be pushed to execute the filter. The dropdowns are being configured with Data Binding "Char/Structure Mbr" so no submit button appears and the execution doesnt occur right away, but only when the button is pushed.
I'd like a dropdown box to show with possible values of variables that are in my query. I've looked into Dynamic Parameterization, but can't seem to get it to work. Is this because the variables don't have any default values?
Thanks, Ken Murray

What are the better load/performance testing tools available for Flex Application with BlazeDS RO?

In my application is designed with Flex3, ActionScript3, BlazeDS Remote Objects.
Just i tried with OPENSTA but i cant do the dynamic parameterization in their generated scripts because the response of the calls is binary values and also we cant get the response using with SCL language.
While testing with OPENSTA with HttpService, i can do the dynamic parameterization and got the response.
can give the information about the below questions
whether we can do dynamic parameterization with OPENSTA for Flex Remote objects?
and what are the better load/performance tools available for Flex Remote Objects?

Your approach is fine, depending on how many and what type of CFCs you are talking about. If they are "singletons" - that is, only one instance of each CFC is needed to be in memory and can be reused/shared from multiple parts of your application - caching them in the application scope is common. Just make sure they are thread safe ("var" or local.* all your method variables).
You might consider taking advantage of a dependency injection framework, such as DI/1 (part of the FW/1 MVC framework), ColdSpring, or WireBox (a module of the ColdBox platform that can be used independently). They have mechanisms for handling and caching singletons. Then you wouldn't have to go to the application scope to get your CFC instances.

Ref cursor and dynamic sql

Hi..
I'm using a ref cursor query to fetch data for a report and works just fine. However i need to use dynamic sql in the query because the columns used in the where condition and for some calculations may change dynamically according to user input from the form that launches the report..
Ideally the query should look like this:
select
a,b,c
from table
where :x = something
and :y = something
and (abs(:x/:y........)
The user should be able to switch between :x and :y
Is there a way to embed dynamic sql in a ref cursor query in Reports 6i?
Reports 6i

Hello Nicola,
You can parameterize your ref cursor by putting the query's select statement in a procedure/function (defined in your report, or in the database), and populating it based on arguments accepted by the procedure.
For example, the following procedure accepts a strongly typed ref cursor and populates it with emp table data based on the value of the 'mydept' input parameter:
Procedure emp_refcursor(emp_data IN OUT emp_rc, mydept number) as
Begin
-- Open emp_data for select all columns from emp where deptno = mydept;
Open emp_data for select * from emp where deptno = mydept;
End;
This procedure/function can then be called from the ref cursor query program unit defined in your report's data model, to return the filled ref cursor to Reports.

How do I build a dynamic business service URL in OSB 11g?

Hello,
I am used to using the business service endpoint URIs that we configure on the Transport tab of our business services in OSB 11.1.1.6. We can add multiple static entries here for load balancing, and we can overwrite these with a Customization File as we migrate through DEV, TEST, PROD. Everything's just fine there.
I now need to start consuming RESTful services with dynamic URLs such as:
http://host:port/customer/{customerId}
that would result in HTTP calls to values like:
http://host:port/customer/12345678
and
http://host:port/customer/55555555
I see that I can build the URI using the Routing Options action in our proxy message flow and throw in all of those variable values at runtime. This is working in DEV just fine. And, effectively, I've overridden the business service endpoint URIs that we configured in the Transport.
But now I want to:
1) Use multiple endpoint URIs for our cluster
2) Deploy to TEST
What is the proper way to do this? I would guess in the business service endpoint URIs in the customization file, but I don't know how to parameterize those. I would also guess customization file find/replace functionality to change the host:port in my Routing Options action, but then that would still be just a single-node endpoint and not a pointer to multiple servers in our cluster.
Can someone please advise the best way to configure these dynamic URLs at runtime while still allowing for clustered endpoints and for customization files to be applied as we promote through our environments?
Thank you,
Michael

Found some old code.
I think you need to do
property_text = "#"^variable_text
then you can do the following
property_list[1][property_text]
That seemed to work.

How to parameterize the schema name in APEX

Hi,
How to parameterize the schema name in APEX , in order to access different tables from the respective schema.
For example:-
select NAME display_value, CODE return_value
from paramSchema.DESC_LIST WHERE SELECTION_FLG = 'Y'
order by 1
in the above code, paramSchema will be replaced with the actual schema name duing runtime. I tried doing so by some hidden fields on page, but it didn't worked out.
I took the schema name from the respective server as per the IPof the server.
stored in a hidden field named as schema.
And replaced the same in place of schema name. But no luck.
select NAME display_value, CODE return_value
from :schema.DESC_LIST WHERE SELECTION_FLG = 'Y'
order by 1
Please help me in shorting it out.
Thanks,
Anuradha

Hi
In order to do that, you would need to use dynamic SQL by changing the report type to PL/SQL Function Body Returning SQL Query and have code along the lines of
DECLARE
l_sql VARCHAR2(32767);
BEGIN
l_sql := 'select NAME display_value, CODE return_value
from '||:schema||'.DESC_LIST WHERE SELECTION_FLG = 'Y'
order by 1';
RETURN l_sql;
END;However, by doing this, you lose alot of flexibility. The other options would be...
To have seperate report regions that are conditional on the value of the variable.
To use a WITH clause at the tope of the query like...
WITH src_data AS
(SELECT * FROM schema1.my_table
WHERE :schema = 'schema1'
UNION ALL
SELECT * FROM schema2.my_table
WHERE :schema = 'schema2')
SELECT *
FROM src_dataOther than that you could look at using synonyms and doing something similar.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

Sysgen : How to read the input port data type, width and rate dynamically in a masked subsystem ?

Hello everybody,
     I am designing a general purpose block in system generator. I pass the user parameters to the block through masking it. Some user parameters can change the block configuration. The input port data type, width and rate can also affect the block configuration.
     The problem is that these values (input port data type, width and rate) are subject to change. So I should read them dynamically, then change the block configuration through programming the "Initialization Commands" field. But unfortunately there is no straight way to read the input port information.
     There are some methods in for example the "Black Box". these are:
input_width = this_block.port('din').width;
input_rate = this_block.port('din').rate;
But these methods are not applicable to a masked subsystem.
I have tried other ways also. You can find them below. None of them worked.
Does anybody know how can I solve this problem?
Other ways I tried:
1)
design_name([],[],[],'compile')
q=get_param(gcb,'PortHandles');
get_param(q.Inport,'CompiledPortDataType')
get_param(q.Inport,'CompiledPortWidth')
get_param(q.Inport,'CompiledPortDimensions')
design_name([],[],[],'term')
2)
ssGetInputPortDataType
3)
ts = Simulink.Block.getSampleTimes([gcb '/Input'])

Today we rely on Simulink to perform parameterization of your designs in two ways:
Parameterizable Subsystems and Blocks : Parameters themselves can be MATLAB expressions that need to be evaluated for which we need the MATLAB interpreter
The very useful Rate and Type propagation or Simulink compilation that allows us to specify types & rates in one location that gets systematically propagated to all.
To truly make the HDL Netlist that is generated from SysGen parameterizable, we would have to implement some of this capability in the HDL netlist itself by:
Using Generics(VHDL) or Parameters(Verilog) - We would have to capture the bit width(type) propagation through levels of hierarchies and finally parameterize the IP itself based on this value
Since IP itself does not have this capability through generics, we would have to package a separate tcl script that updates the IP parameterization appropriately in response to top level parameters(or GUI parameters)
Interpreting MATLAB expressions and translating them into VHDL/Verilog expressions (alternatively tcl expressions of IP). In simulink, mask parameters can be passed from one level to the next. Also parameterization of a block can be composed of Matlab expressions using variables from ancestor masks & the MATLAB interpreter – so we will need to somehow capture that as well.

How to create a dynamic include

I would like to construct a dynamic include depending on URL searchstring data. In my mind it looks like this:
<%@ include file = request.getParameter("subnav")+".jsp" %>
but for my Server it�s more like this :-))
index.jsp(110,25) Attribute value should be quoted
It might be a problem on the execution time of the include command but I don�t know how to get around it.
Elmar

The JSP's include directive (<%@ include) can be used to include files at the translate stage. So, you can't parameterize the file name. But the JSP's include tag (<jsp:include...) includes the file at runtime and hence you can parameterize it as I have shown in my earlier reply.
Hope this helps. And this is the solution I believe.

Sp_executesql dynamic sql

Hello,
I am new to sql server . I try this following code but this gives an error like
" Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value 'update emp1 set gender='m' where id=' to data type int."
Please can anybody tell how should I avoid this
I have emp1 table in which the gender column is of char and id is of int type
Declare @v1 char,@v2 int,@str nvarchar(max)
set @v1='m'
set @v2=1
Set @str=N'update emp1 set gender='''+@v1+''' where id='+@v2+''

I made the call that the OP is in the learning mode about dynamic SQL. The biggest challenge in dynamic SQL is the concatenation of the dynamic SQL string. You don't get to parameterization in dynamic SQL if you don't learn how to concatenate.
Therefore my answer.
I disagree entirely.
First of all, Sony said I am new to sql server. He did not say that he was trying to learn dynamic SQL. Possibly he has worked with other products before where you have to do string concatenation, but let's focus on what he said: he is a newcomer
to the game.
And if you are new to SQL Server, you should not work with dynamic SQL at all, period. It's simply not a feature for beginners. If a 12-year old asks you in which position the gearshift should be to start the car, do you show him, or do you take him
out of the car?
The OP made up an example which does not even require dynamic SQL. Nonetheless, it was OK for learning, and the OP posted a valid question and I gave an appropriate and valid answer.
We don't know why Sony made that example. Maybe he is trying to learn dynamic SQL - but as I noted in that case we should stop him.
What we should not rule out is that he is under the belief that you need to use dynamic SQL all the time. I've seen more than one example of inexperienced users who build SQL strings and execute them with EXEC(), although there is absolute nothing that
calls for dynamic SQL. See below for a horrible piece of code I received by mail recently. So there is all reason to point out that static SQL is the best solution.
Furthermore, there is no reason to teach people string concatenation - we should learn them to use parameterised queries. String concatenation is a common misconception among the beginners, but there are only bad things with it, so why should they learn
it?
I am just simply flabbergasted over being crucified for giving an OK answer.
Your answer was by no means OK:
1) It did not point out that dynamic SQL was called for.
2) You did not use parameterised SQL.
3) And if you wanted to show string concatenation, you should have used quotename()
set @str=N'update emp1 set gender=' + quotename(@v1, '''') +
   ' where id=' + convert(varchar(10), @v2)
In short, you gave an answer that encouraged the person to continue with bad habits, rather than helping him out of them.
Here is the example of SQL which is "dynamic" for no good reason that I mentioned above. And this is, as I understood it, intended to be production code!

Dynamic query plan vs normal query plan

I have a query with like operator.
DECLARE @query varchar(52)
SET @query='A12657'
IF @query IS NOT NULL
SET @query='%'+LTRIM(RTRIM(@query))+'%'SELECT eord_type_id FROM izdelek
WHERE (izd_naziv_ANG like @query OR izd_id like @query)
OPTION (RECOMPILE)
Query works 1 ms, 5 ms is for plan recompile. The execution plan is:
But if I run the same query as dynamic sql:
DECLARE @query varchar(52), @sql NVARCHAR(4000), @paramList NVARCHAR(500)
SET @query='A12657'
SELECT @paramlist = N'@query VARCHAR(52)'
if @query IS NOT NULL
SET @query='%'+LTRIM(RTRIM(@query))+'%'
SET @sql=N'SELECT eord_type_id FROM izdelek
WHERE (izd_naziv_ANG like @query OR izd_id like @query)
OPTION (RECOMPILE)'
EXEC sp_executesql @sql, @paramlist, @query
The execution plan is different and execution time is much slower - 2877 ms.
Where is the catch? What should I change that dynamic query would work the same.
What I also don't understand is key lookup at the end of the plan. Since we have clustered index seek at the beginning of the plan, the optimizer could read additional column(eord_type_id) from this index seek.
And why it is using merge since it has both columns from WHERE clause (izd_naziv_ang and izd_id) included inside index IX_izdelek. izd_id is in fact clustered key.
How can i improve this query?
But I would like to know at most, why dynamic sql is so much slower, since the query is totally the same in both cases and how to achieve that both queries have the similar execution time?

First of all , why do you use LIKE operator instead of EQUAL (=). I see you are looking for exact value..

EP6: Dynamic Navigation - Eventing

Hi everybody,
I want to navigate to the same page/iView from my dynamic navigation nodes (which implement INavigationConnectorNode). The dynamic navigation shows a list of customers. Clicking on one of them should show the same page/iView, obviously for different customer ids.
Trying the simple approach to append the parameters ("....?customerid=4711") to the launchURL does not work.
I assume the whole concept works differently: do I have to implement getPRTEvent() (or maybe getJScript() or ..) to parameterize my navigation event ?
I cannot find any info on that subject, so I'd be really grateful for ideas and hints.
Cheers,
Heiko

Hi Altafin,
thanks for your reply, unfortunately this does not work: you assume that I build an iView and thus can control the HTML output. What I do, though, is to dynamically build a navigation structure (not in an iView but in a Navigation Connector). There I only have a couple of fields I can set, most notably the "launchURL". The standard Portal Navigation Service takes my data structure, merges it and forwards it to the (standard) detail navigation iView.
In the meantime I have been able to solve it (actually thanks to Sven Kannengiesser): I put the following into my launchURL:
"/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/<escaped pcd url>?myparam=4711"
where the escaped pcd url looks something like
"pcd!3aportal_content!2fmyfolder!2f .... !2fmypage"
That works fine.
Cheers,
Heiko

Dynamically invoking class

I am writing a charting software using jfreechart. I want to dynamically call the class that gets run from a menu. The class should be run as a thread.
This is some code that I picked up of the web, but Eclipse gives me a warning that the raw type "Class" should be parameterized. How can I parameterize Class when I don't know which class is going to be run?
public void run() {

                this.app.chartContainer.removeAll();
                this.app.chartContainer.add(panel);
                this.app.displayPanel.validate();

Unable to capture data in an editable dynamic ALV.

Hi ,
I have created a dynamic editable ALV whose displayed structure can be changed at runtime based on the selection in a drop down list value selector.
Im trying to capture the values entered in the ALV into an internal table before the user changes the structure of the ALV to a different structure.
In the ON_SELECT event handler of the drop down list box , im rasing a data_check event to capture the ALV data.
The problem is that the control is not entering the event handler for the data_check event.
If i raise the data_check event in my save event handler or any other event handler , it works fine.
Can someone please suggest a solution.
Regards,
Newton.

Hi ,
I have figured out that the problem is local to my machine , because the code works fine on other machines.
I guess my internet explorer has some bug.

Dynamic mandatory field error message is not getting displayed in webui

Hi,
In Appointment if the importance is HIGH i made Location as mandatory.For this i enhanced BT126H_APPT/ApptDetails. In the get_p_location() method of BTACTIVITYYH i have written the code.
Now the problem is Error message for this dynamic mandatory field is not getting displayed in webui.
I debugged in DO_FINISH_INPUT error message is getting generated but it is not getting displayed in ui.
Can anybody tell where the problem is?
Thanks,
Hari.

Hi Hari,
Really sorry do not know how to convert this nug file to text
How ever quick solution for your problem would be just keep your validation in 'DO_VALIDATE_INPUT' method of the view controller.
Means even if the User clicks on SAVE , Since it fails here , it would not allow you to go further.

NULL and dynamic SQL

If table testrh2 has the following columns and data
col1 --> NULL
col2 --> 2
and table testrh has the following columsn and data
col1 --> NULL
How could I write a dynamic SQL statement to join on the nulls? I've written the following block as a starting point.
declare
cursor c1 is select col1 from isis.testrh;
lval varchar2(1000);
lval2 varchar2(1000);
begin
for r1 in c1 loop
lval := 'select col2 from isis.testrh2 where col1 = '||r1.col1;
execute immediate lval into lval2;
dbms_output.put_line(lval2);
end loop;
end;

You can't compare null values with '=' in Oracle SQL.
Null can only be compared with <column> is null .
You can see it when you try these two queries:
select * from dual where null is null; -- you will see one row
select * from dual where null=null; -- you will see no rowsThat's why you have to write something like
(<column1>=<column1> or (<column1> is null and <column2> is null))This should also work with null:
decode(<column1>,<column2>,1,0)=1By the way, why do you use dynamic sql?
lval := 'select col2 from isis.testrh2 where col1 = '||r1.col1;
I think you could replace your two lines ( lval:= ... AND execute immediate) by this:
begin
select col2
into lval
from isis.testrh2
where decode(col1,r1.col1,1,0)=1;
dbms_output.put_line('lval='||lval);
exception
when no_data_found then
dbms_output.put_line('no data found'); -- or whatever you want

Dynamic CRM 2013 Online how to execute Report, generate PDF and email

Dear All,
I am using Dynamic CRM 2013 online. For quote, I have workflow and Dialogue processes for review process. On approval, I want the system to generate a PDF of quote report, attach the PDF and email it to the Customer.
Better I would like, When approver, clicks on the approve button, the system should auto generate a PDF of quote report, attach the PDF and email it to the Customer, without any further input from the user. If its not possible, I may have to put button on
quote form.
I am using the attached code, but facing various issues.
1. Under prepare the SOAP Message coding part, I am not sure what should be the below URL for CRM 2013 Online?
xHReq.Open("POST", "/mscrmservices/2007/CrmService.asmx", false);
2. What should be the emailid here? Is it Recepient Contact id(Guid) ?
var emailid = resultXml.selectSingleNode("//CreateResult").nodeTypedValue;
alert("emailid" + emailid.toString());
3. Using this code, not able to create Entity for "ActivityMimeAttachment", I am getting newEntity as undefined.
Below is the code I am using. Please check and help me out, where I am going wrong. Let me know if any better way to implement it. At present, I have put one button on quote form, on click event, below code will get executed.
