Easy question with parameters

how many parameters can a method have

there should be an implementation limitation, though,
based on how the compiler addresses this issueNope, it's a class file format issue; but it's a non
issue in practice though.Thanks for the explanation ! :)You're welcome; I always use the 64K rule of thumb: no more than
64K static members or static methods, no more than 64K members
or methods, no more than 64K bytes in a method, no more than 64K
parameters, no more than 64K implemented interfaces etc. etc. I have
to meet the first class that crosses those limits and if it does, it should
be wiped from existence ;-)
kind regards,
Jos

How to create a view with parameters; read the documentation but nothing!

Hello!
I'm new to the Oracle world but together with my coworkers we need to very quickly study Oracle to figure out whether we'll add Oracle to our list of supported databases or not.
Question: How do I create a view with parameters?
I've read the documentation but I could not find this! I found the sql syntax to create a view but no parameters whatsoever...
I have found on the web some very complicated way of doing this, but doesn't Oracle support Views with parameters?
The goal here is to return a recordset, don't forget, so,please don't speak about stored procedures unless you are going to tell me how to get a recordset out of a stored procedure! ;)
Thanks for all your help and attention!
Jorge C.

You can set up a parameterized view via context as follows:
1. Set up a procedure to set your context values:
create or replace procedure p_set_context (p_context IN VARCHAR2,p_param_name IN VARCHAR2,p_value IN VARCHAR2)
as
BEGIN
sys.dbms_session.set_context(p_context,p_param_name,p_value);
END;
2. Create your context using the procedure you just created
create or replace context my_ctx using p_set_context
3. This is the test table I'll use
create table my_table(col1 number)
and populate it:
begin
for v_index in 1..10
loop
insert into my_table values(v_index);
end loop;
end;
and the view that will be parameterised
create or replace view v_my_table as select col1 from my_table where col1 between sys_context('my_ctx','start_range') and sys_context('my_ctx','end_range')
4. Now set the parameters using the procedure above.
begin
p_set_context('my_ctx','start_range','1');
p_set_context('my_ctx','end_range','5');
end;
5. Selecting from my_table will give you 1 to 10 (no surprise there :-) )
selectng from v_my_table will give you 1 to 5
You can use the context to set formats etc using the same principle. A common gotcha to watch for is trying to set the context directly using DBMS_SESSION.SET_CONTEXT instead of creating a procedure. This belongs to SYS and SYS won't have the privileges to set your context so you get an insufficient privileges result leading to much headscratching and unnecessary grants (at least that's my understanding of it).
Sorry Jorge, as you're new to Oracle I should also have pointed out for completeness sake, that you can change the parameters at any time through recalling the p_set_context, for example, following on from above, after your "select * from v_my_table" and seeing 1 to 5, you could then do
begin
p_set_context('my_ctx','start_range','3');
end;
and when you requery 'Select * from v_my_table' you will now see rows 3 to 5.
Bit of a simplistic example, but you can see how easy it is. :-)

Hopefully easy question...

I am new to TestStand and have a couple of (hopefully) easy questions. I am using TestStand 3.5.
1) I have written a couple of sub-sequences in another file that we use for common tasks. Some of the parameters we pass will always be the same variable name. Is there a way I can get that default parameter name to show up when I write the program to call this sub-sequence so I wont have to enter it each time?
2) When I run a program that calls a sub-sequence in the above file, the first time I run it, I get an error saying the resource already exists... If I open the sub-sequence file in TestStand, and then close it, it is fine after that.
Thanks for your help!

With TestStand the answer is usually 'yes' it is just a matter of which way is best for you.
1)
TestStand has a full application interface so that you can pragmatically read parameter names and types, and populate calling programs with the right stuff. This takes some learning. There may be an easier way depending on what you are doing.
I'm not sure what you mean when you say you write a program to call the subsequence. In TestStand 4.0 ( don't have 3.5 installed) you can create a Sequence Call template step that can be used in new sequences that you program. That is, I can open a new sequence, drop a generic Sequence Call step and rename it, configure it to call your subsequence by choosing the right path, sequence file, values/expressions to be passed to the subsequence, and then I can save this step as a template (drag to the Step section of the template window). Then, when I have a brand new sequence, I can drop an instance of this template step into my sequence, with the parameter values preconfigured. Assuming all the expressions are valid, you're ready to go.
2)
Without more information I can't help with this one. Perhaps the sequence file that contains the called subsequence is not in one of your search directories (see Configure>>Search Directories) and therefore it can't be found until you open, identify and save the calling sequence file. What error code are you getting?

SSRS cube report with parameters...and more

Hi,
I have created some basic SSRS reports in the past with parameters, but I was just given the following project by my manager and I would like to find out 2 things:
1. Can this be accomplished using SSRS
2. If yes, what are the High-Level steps needed to get this accomplished
First off, the SSRS report(s) will be connecting to an SSAS cube, so there will be some MDX involved. The cube is fairly simple, 1 measure group and 3 dimensions.
The main piece of this project will be 4 parameters that will be displayed to the user; Quarter, Division, Operations, and ReportList.
The Quarter is just the Quarter that the user wants to run the report for (Q1-2012, Q1-2013, etc..). This will come from the Date Dimension The Division will be a list of all of our internal divisions that we have setup in our Client Dimension
table (Eastern Division, Western Division, etc...). The Operations will be list of operations for each division selected in the Division parameter (Boston Ops, NY Ops, etc...). This list will also come from the Client Dimension. The ReportList
will be a list of all reports that are related to the Division and Operations Selected. For example, Eastern Division and Boston Ops could have 3 reports, Western Division and San Francisco Ops has 5 reports, etc...
The final piece to this is that when the user selects the reports to be generated, they will have to be created into 1 report. This way the user can convert the report to 1 single PDF file or print the report. So if 3 reports were selected, each
report would be a separate page and could then be converted to a single PDF file or printed.
I know that SSRS has the ability to create cascading parameters, so that should take care of dynamically generating the Operations parameter drop down as well as the REportList drop down. Of course, using MDX to accomplish this will tricky since I
haven't done much with MDX.
I guess my last concern is how to generated multiple reports given the parameters selected and have them be combined into 1 report? I was thinking subreports, but not sure if that would work.
Any feedback or concerns/ideas on how this can be accomplished using SSRS?
**Using SSRS 2012
thanks

Do you have a question? The title doesn't provide sufficient information what you are after.

Easy Question: Illegal Start of Expression

This is a ridiculously easy question... but I am having trouble with it...
Anyway, here is the line of code that is giving me trouble:
jButtons = {{jButton1, jButton5, jButton9, jButton13},
{jButton2, jButton6, jButton10, jButton14},
{jButton3, jButton7, jButton11, jButton15},
{jButton4, jButton8, jButton12, jButton16}};
        That's it. jButton1 through jButton16 are all jButton objects (for a GUI). jButtons is an array (4 by 4) of jButton. All are global variables, the buttons are all initilized (in fact, that was the problem I had before, and why I need to put this here: otherwise I get a null pointer exception).
Surprisingly, such a simple line of code causes TONS of errors to occur. To save space, {...} * 2 means that the exception occurs twice in a row, errors are separated by comma's.
{ Illegal Start of Expression, {Not a statement, ; required} * 2} * 4, Empty statement
A similar statement (int[] test = {{1,2,3},{4,5,6}};) works perfectly fine.
Please help, doing this will reduce the size of my code to about a third of the size of the code. And then I can laugh in the faces of those people who say that I write long, and in-efficient code! MWHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
However, I will keep at it, and Murphy's Law states I will find a solution 10 seconds after posting. If I do, I will edit this post, and tell you guys the answer ;)
[Edit]In case you are wondering... all my other code is correct. Here is the adjacent 3 methods:

You can only initialise an array like that when you declare it at the same time. Otherwise you have to do as suggested above.
int[] numbers = {1,2,3,4}; //ok
int[] numbers;
numbers = {1,2,3,4}; // not ok

Examples of 'calling a web dynpro application with parameters'

Hi!!
I'm I have been watching manual 'Web dynpro for abap: advanced concepts' in the sections 'url parameters' and 'calling a web dynpro application with parameters'.
Is there some example where these terms are seen.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Ana,
a window inbound plug can have parameters.
These parameters are automatically fished out of the URL by the framework.
So your inbound plug handler method has easy access to the parameters.
URL
http://<host>:port/sap/bc/webdynpro/sap/<your application>?param1=xyz&param2=abc
The application is configured to call an inbound interface(window) and plug.
The plug can be declared with parameters.
Double click on window inbound plug and add your parameters.
The parameters are made available by framework if present in Launch URL.
You can also call an application that has parameters directly entered on the parameters tab.
ie Parameters can be part of the application launch.
regards
Phil

Easy question - how to increase number of recent files in menu?

This is for CS5 if it matters.
I'm an infrequent Illustrator user (at best) but I have what I hope is an easy question: I want to increase number of recent files showing in the menu.
I can't find a preferece to set such as in PS and almost every other application on the face of the earth. I've tried to reset the preferences file (start Illustrator with ctrl-alt-shift held down) but I'm stuck at 4 files, which I assume is the anemic default option.
Is there an easy way to do this that Adobe has hidded somewhere? As expected, it can't be found in the help, I can't find it on the forums, or even on the net, but I do know it can be done because I can see other installs showing lots of files in the list.
thanks for any help.

This might be because of a new feature that you can turn off for each object, and alltogether. When you create a new document at the bottom, make sure 'Align New Objects to Pixel Grid' is unchecked. After you have created a new file, you can still go into the 'TRANSFORM' palette (SHIFT+8), use the little right top menu, and make sure 'Align New Objects to Pixel Grid' is unchecked. And if you want to get fancy with each object; you can select an object, and look at the 'TRANSFORM' palette at the bottom is a place to uncheck the 'Align to Pixel Grid' at your disposall.
Before I found this, it ruined my week.

Update on question for parameters in URL opening a BSP iview

Hi again gurus.
I wanted to do an update on this thread: How do you create a URL with parameters for a BSP iview? but choose to do the update as this new question instead.
Well, in order to open a BSP iview from an external page shown in an Application Integrator iview in our portal AND FILL IN A FIELD, a link of this type is used on the external page:
http://<server:port>/sap/bc/bsp/sap/z_purchase_req/process.htm?System=ABG_R3_ARD&mnr%3D9780198603641
If you read the other thread you will see that I couldn't use a link of the following type since it opened up something like the stuff found under "System Administration > Support > SAP Application" and there asked for BSP application and start page!
http://<server:port>/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.portal.appintegrator.sap.bwc.BSP?System=ABG_R3_ARD&SAP_TCode=Z_PURCHASE_REQ&STARTPAGE=process.htm
But the first link works so far as it opens up the correct transaction BUT the parameter won't get into the field. Does anyone know how to "format" the parameter correctly? When you open an iview of Transactional type you can use a URL like this (and it works also with writing parameter into a field):
http://<server:port>/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.portal.appintegrator.sap.bwc.Transaction?System=ABG_R3_ARD&SAP_TCode=ZARTS2&SAP_Dynp_Params=S_MATNR-LOW%3D9789146212720
It's the part ...&SAP_Dynp_Params=... that is of interest here. Should it also be used when working with URLs opening BSP iviews or not? Or should something similar be used instead? The name of the field "mnr" is correct in the BSP URL, at least I think so, I found it in the Web Application Builder under tab "Page Attributes". I have tried both "=" and "%3D" in the URL but neither works.
Any suggestions about the parameter format for this link or another completely different but working URL format would be extremely appreciated!
Best regards
Benny Lange

the Appintegrator Documentation says you can use something like <User.[AttributeName]>, so <User.email> and <User.company> (not sure about capital letters) should work.
Hope that helps.

Calling portal v2 pages with parameters in a jsp

     Hello everybody,
     I'm currently trying to create, in a jsp, a link to a portal-v2 page with parameters.
Practically :
[JSP / Portlet 1]
     - a 1st jsp generates some links, all to the same page but each sets a different value to a parameter (for example a productId in a list).
[JSP / Portlet 2]
     - a 2nd jsp gets this parameter and use it (for example it displays the details of the chosen product).
So the 1st portlet would be jsp (coded by a portlet designer) and clicking a link would lead to another page (chosen by a page designer) which would hold the 2nd portlet (= 2nd jsp, coded by the same portlet designer).
     Writing the second jsp is easy : getting parameters is described in many examples and pdk articles.
     But I can't find the java methods to use to generate the link. More precisely I don't know how to call the portal page (which would then be a jsp1's parameter). Adding the parameter is well described in the jpdk API-Doc.
     I've tried to use portal events but they seem to work only in an html form. So I supposed it was a wrong way.
As I've lost myself so many times in the API-Doc and I didn't find any jpdk sample about that, I would be really thankfull if someone has an idea (may I hope for a sample code ? :-)
Thanks.

I'm having a similar problem!
I have a JSP page which I have published as a portlet to Portal. The JSP portlet is placed on Portal a page. I need to call this Portal page with some parameters in the URL, which should get passed to the JSP portlet.
In the JSP portlet I used this syntax in release 1 to retrieve the URL parameters:
String p_itemID = request.getParameter("item_id");
That worked great in release 1, but not in release 2.... I think the problem is that you need to define which parameters a portlet has, then map those portlet parameters to page parameters in the page properties. In dynamic page - portlets you define bind variables to accomplish this. But how do you do in JSP portlets? When you try to map Page Parameters to the JSP portlet you'll find that Portal doesn't think that the JSP portlet has any parameters. Hence the page parameters does not get passed to the portlet.
(More info: JDBC----getImportedKeys() )
I've looked at the Multipage example and the forminput example. But I don't see how pass a parameter in the URL to the very first JSP portlet from looking at those examples. I do see how you can pass parameters to the next JSP portlet, but that's not my problem. Maybe I'm missing something obvious...
Any ideas?

Is it possible in jsf? Action with parameters????

I have a NavigationItem, a object of myfaces.....
And when is clicked it, I want to create a new pane, based on the navigationItem clicked, obviuosly,
How I can submit a action with parameters???
Is it possible?
thanks all !

I will try to explain better.
I create menus dynammicaly....
and this menus has NavigationMenuItems, all componentes of myFaces
The navigationMenuItem is inherited of SelectItem.....
and creating it dynamically I need to put a action, and the backing bean has a method that return a string , but the value returned is always null, and I will to know How things I will do depending the parameters (like request parameteres) are passed through the action...
but I do not know how to set the action dynamically, when the method setAction expect a string and not a MethodBinding.....
And how I will to know after, what navigationMenuItem was clicked ??
I don't know if are answers to this questions, I'm not sure about the limitations of web development and jsf, but I must to do it...
thanks

Easy question about Reformatting

Hello all,
I am trying to reformat my HD after I have deleted Windows XP off of a partition. The reason for this is an upgrade to Vista and a larger allotment of HD space. My question is:
I am using Backup v3.1.1. (v369) and I have FULL backup files of my Home folder, and my Music folder (as backup for my backup) for all my iTunes libraries. These are located on a portable HD. Are these the correct files to have backed up in order to have my MAC the way it was before I started the process? If so, then once the reformatting is complete, how do I get it all back onto my MAC permanently? Will all my apps and tweaks work as before?
I am sure this is a simple question, however, I have never had to do this with a MAC, and I want to make sure I have all bases covered before I begin this. Any other comments or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks All!

You call this an easy question ???
Just messin with ya
Your home folder is the most important folder containing your music, documents, preferences etc. but a lot is also stored in the system folder and library folder outside your home folder, if you want to be ensured of an exact copy of your current system the best way to go at this is to clone your system partition.
The app i use for this is carbonCopyCloner
http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html
To add to this.. i've heard there is software for the mac that allows you to make adjustments to the size of your partitions without having to format the drive, i don't know the names of these products but i do know that it's very risky to use them, if you decide to use an app like that make sure you have proper backups of everything just in case it goes wrong.

What is the best design tablet with stylus to have an easy interface with Adobe Photoshop?

What is best design tablet with stylus for use with Adobe Photoshop for this holiday seasons offering 2013?
I am trying to find a tablet with good stylus to work with Adobe Design products primarily Photoshop. I would like one that worked in layers with photoshop.
The folks a Wacom don't even answer the phone just a recorded message go to the web site with questions. Not a good sign for a company. So what is a good design tablets for pressure sensitive stylus? Will wacom cintiq tablet interface well with Apple Imac IOS 10.8?
I love my Samsung note 3 but it will not easily transfer images to apple Imac 10.8.
Please help me find tablets with good adobe design interface? Just tell me which way to jump. It is easier to leave Apple for PC or Android than to abandon Adobe knowledge. The products have to work together.
Does wacom Cintiq not embrace an easy interface with Apple Imac IOS 10.8 latest software. Wacom seems to be championing Windows 8 as a companion to their tablet interface.
Can an Ipad deliver good layered designs using adobe software design programs and a stylus?
What should I buy for an Adobe design tablet with pressure sensitive stylus for ths Holiday Season?
Should i wait until next year?
Will the tablet work in Photoshop layers?

To be honest, I don't understand how the Linux bonding mode can work without anything configured the other end.
My understanding of 'bonding' comes from Multilink PPP (MLP) where the data stream is chopped up and split across two (or more) circuits. At the other end, a similar MLP-enabled device reforms the data stream from the multiple circuits, maintaining packet order. But this requires MLP-enabled 'bonding' devices at each end.
Perhaps you could help me better understand the Linux bonding...

Passing databse functions with parameters as custom parameters from comand

and I get the following error

Thanks, Mark. It works.However facing another issue. I try to pass to_char(sysdate\,''yyyy/mm/ddhh:mi:ss'') as one of the custom parameters to the mapping as
@SQLplus_exec_template.sql RTUSER RTLOC PLSQL mapname "," "INPUT_STDT=2002/10/2010:10:03,INPUT_enddt=to_char(sysdate\,''yyyy/mm/ddhh:mi:ss'')"
and it erros out as

ORA-01841: (full) year must be between -4713 and +9999, and not be 0 ORA-06512: at line 1
------ end ------
Questions:
1. Why does a simple to_char(sysdate\,'yyyy/mm/ddhh:mi:ss') as an input parameter fail?
2.what is the date format that OWB expects when we pass date as an input parameter.Can the format be modified?
OWB seems to accept the format yyyy/dd/mm only. If I pass as different format, it errors with ORA 1861 Text: literal does not match format string.
3. Where can I change the format in OWB if it can be changed.
NOTE: OWB complains only about INPUT_ENDDT and not INPUT_STDT because, if I hardcode INPUT_ENDDT like 2003/11/178:00 it works.
example:
@SQLplus_exec_template.sql RTUSER RTLOC PLSQL mapname "," INPUT_STDT=2002/10/2008:00,INPUT_ENDDT=2003/11/1706:45:59"
works fine.
Am I missing something here?
Thanks again.

Easy question for the MODS

Unlike more difficult questions like CRC problems, ps problems, etc, this is rather an easy question.
The KT4V manual (page 3-8) lists the onboard NIC as a "boot device" option. This "feature" is available in Bios 1.1, 1.2 but not available in Bios 1.4 and later.
Any reason why this feature was mutilated and not available anymore in the later bioses?
Are there two different bioses for KT4V and KT4V-L? If yes where can one find the bios for KT4V-L?
I know this feature is not very popular with the majority of users, and I'm not trying to bust anyone's balls for removing un-popular features, but the "boot from NIC" was one of the features/reasons why I got this mb, and I would rather use a much newer bios than 1.2 (for known reasons).
Also, while on this topic, boot-from-usb (especially thumb drives) feature would also be greatly appreciated - I think it is also listed in the manual.
TIA

Hi,
Quote
Please suggest him to update the BIOS Ver1.9 which can support Boot from LAN and boot from USB devices.
AMI BIOS can boot from the devices which support BIOS Boot specifications (BBS, you can refer to the attached file for the information).

Call Report Builder from Jdeveloper 10g with parameters

hello , how are you
i am in oracle forms for long , today i am work in jdeveloper 10g, i want some questions
1- how call oracle report builder from oracle jdeveloper 10g with parameters
2- if there aren't call from jdeveloper 10g, what is good report tools?
thanks.

I'm assuming that what you want to do is actually run a report from a JDeveloper application.
To do this you can use the various ways that Reports offer to invoke reports with the report server - including URL & Web Service interfaces.
More information on these in the Oracle Reports - Publishing reports manual.
