Jimmy,
You need to add &1 to the where clause of your Query (SQL statement). Then run the report you will be prompted to add your criteria. Add it to your where clause like this:
Select .... from table
where ...
and &1

  • Need Help-How Store the input parameter through java bean

    Hello Sir,

    SimpleBean which create a connection from DB and insert the data.

    But when I open the table in Access. Its empty.
    Ms-Access have two fields- User, Password both are text type.

  • How to put Variable value into Labeltext of a subcomponent WIB

    Hello
    In our Web Based Planning tool we uses Tabstrib_control component and the Label-Text is filled like 'Plan 2008'. (Our BPS = 3.5 and Web interface builder)
    I am looking for a way,how to put a variable into the Label field of the component.  I am not sure if there is a possibility to enhance the labelfield with variable values.
    Thanks a lof for any good idea.
    Best regards
    Christian
    Our BPS = 3.5 and Web interface builder

    Hello Christian,
    Maybe I have a solution for your problem.
    1. Create subcomponent "Selector variable" with your variable.
    2. Hide this new subcomponent
    3. Write in the Label-Text: <%=descr("Name of new subcomponent"/value)%>
    If the variable will be selected by the user in the web interface, put the name of this selector in the field "Update upon Change of" in the properties of the new created subcomponent.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to pass page parameter to report portlet ?

    Portal: 9.0.4
    RDBMS: 9.0.1.5.0
    OS: Windows
    REF: How to pass page parameter to report portlet ?
    Hi,
    I create a Oracle Report as a Portlet in Portal (create Report Definition File Access and check on the option "Publish As Portlet" in the on the last step). My report has an "Additional User Parameter" and I has let it "Visible to user".
    When I put this portlet in my Portal page, I can see this parameter in the property/parameters of this page. However I cannot transfer my page parameter to this portlet parameter. Other portlets in this page (non-Oracle-Report portlets) are working fine with my page parameter.
    Please advice.

    I want to make sure we are talking about the same thing:
    After you add the portlet to the page, you go to the page properties, then the parameters tab, then there is a section at the bottom called "Portlet Parameter Values" where you can click and expand your portlet to see your portlet parameters.
    Is it here where your parameters just don't show up?
    If it is, try the following:
    - Add the portlet to another page and see if it still behaves the same.
    - Mark the parameters in the portlet as being non-public, re-generate portlet (on manage tab), then mark them as being public, re-generate and then try the above again (add to another page).

  • How to put 2nd column into 1st column in excel

    Hello,
    I have a question how to put 2nd column into 1st column in excel. Thank you.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Why the 1 iteration for loops?
    Why the two Index Arrays?  It is just trying to fix the problem created by the For Loops on the original 1-D arrays.
    Both of those things are creating 2-D arrays that are complicating things and can be eliminated.
    You can take your 2 1-D arrays, use Build Array and right click to set "Concatenate Inputs".
    If you do have a 2-D array, you can use Reshape Array to make it a 1 column by N row 2-D array.

  • How to put my podcasts into playlist folders? Can't drag'em.

    How to put my podcasts into playlist folders? Can't drag'em.
    I've subscribed to a number of podcasts & they appear in my iTunes window under the Podcasts section.
    There i have
    2 problems:
    1st: I can't rearrange or group them so can listen consecutively to different topics.
    I must listen to one, then come to the keyboard and select the next to start playing. Now, I know that I can get them to play consecutively once I've placed them into Playlist folders,
    but that brings me to my second problem:
    2) I can't drag and drop them into separate iTunes FOLDERS (by topics).
    (Though I have been able to drag&drop separate items from my 'Music' section into iTunes playlist folders.)
    But can't drag from Podcasts section into Playlists,
    as everytime I try they just refuse to go in and scurry back to their starting position under Podcasts.
    Zupwidiss? This can't be.
    I would be grateful for your solution.
    And also grateful if I could have easily found the solution explained
    before I had to resort to bothering this forum with this question.
    Just using my MacMini, Snow Lep.

    Thanks very much.
    You have reminded of the
    difference between
    Playlists and Playlist Folders:
    One can only drag things from the Master list into PLAYLISTS.
    And can only drag Playlists into Playlist Folders.
    I'm an older man, and easily confused by these things.
    Many thanks to my friend in Germany.
    P.S. Your English is excellent.

  • Pass multiple values as single input parameter into pipelined function

    For example - "2" and "3" are values of input parameter "t":
    with data as (

    select 4 as t from dual union all

    Hello To All..
    I want to store the input parameter through Standard Action <jsp:useBean>.
    jsp:useBean call a property IssueData. this property exist in
    SimpleBean which create a connection from DB and insert the data.
    At run time when I click on submit button servlet and server also show that loggging are saved in DB.
    But when I open the table in Access. Its empty.
    Ms-Access have two fields- User, Pass both are text type.
    Please review these code:
    login.html:
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>A simple JSP application</title>
    <script language=javascript>
    function f(k)
    document.forms['frm'].mykey.value=k;
    document.forms['frm'].submit();
    </script>
    <head>
    <body>
    <form method="get" action="tmp" name="frm">
    Name: <input type="text" name="User">
    Password: <input type="password" name="Pass">
    <input type=hidden name="mykey" value="">
    <input type="button" value="Submit" onclick="f('submit.jsp')">

    Dear Sir,
    Accordingly your suggestion I check the SimpleBean class putting the constant values in this bean class.That is Sucessfully Inserted constant values in database.
    Like for example..
    myfirstjavabean.java:
    package myfirstjava;
    import java.io.*;
    import java.sql.*;
    public class myfirstjavabean
    private String firstMsg="Hello world";
    private String s="";
    public myfirstjavabean()
    public String getfirstMsg()
    return firstMsg;
    public void setfirstMsg(String firstMsg)
    this.firstMsg=firstMsg;
    public String getissueData() //method that create connection with database
    try
    System.out.println("Printed*************************************************************");
    getfirstMsg();
    Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
    System.out.println("Loading....");
    Connection con=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:sampleMsg");
    System.out.println("Connected....");
    PreparedStatement st=con.prepareStatement("insert into Table1 values(?)");
    System.out.println("~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~");
    String Msg=getfirstMsg();
    st.setString(1,Msg);
    int y= st.executeUpdate();
    System.out.println(y);
    System.out.println("Query Executed");
    con.commit();
    con.close();
    s=  "Your logging is saved in DB ";
    System.out.println("Your logging is saved in DB *****************");
    return this.s;
    catch(Exception e)
    e.printStackTrace();
    return "failed";
    }Vij.jsp:
    <html>
    <body>
    <jsp:useBean id="st" class="myfirstjava.myfirstjavabean" scope="request" />
    <jsp:getProperty name="st" property="firstMsg" />
    <jsp:getProperty name="st" property="issueData" />
    </body>
    </html>These above example sucessfully inserted the Hello World message in database.
    But which value I put user input at run time Its not inserted in database.
    Which is my previous problem that is persist.
    Please Help..

  • How to make a parameter base report?

    I am making a report on employees and departments but i want to choose employees for some required departments for that i need to use parameter, and i need help that how will i make a parameter in reports builder 10g.
    I am able to do it by writing a where clause in query but now i want to do it from user parameters. Seek help here.
    Maz

    Here is a list of things to do. Let me know if anything is not clear.
    1) In your main query create a lexical parameter at the very end of you where clause ( dont put and &p_where just &p_where)
    &p_where
    2)Create a user parameter with datatype character and width 200
    ex: P_departments
    3) Create a field on the Paper Parameter Form
    4) Click on that field and go to the List of Values (if you want a lov...) and insert the following
    Ex:
    select 'All',' All Departments' from dual
    union
    select to_char(department),to_char(department)||' - '||department_name
    from departments
    order by 1
    5) Go to Report Triggers > After Parameters and insert the following
    Ex:
    begin
    :p_where := null;
    if :p_departments not like '%All%' then
    :p_where := :p_where ||' and table.department = '||:p_departments;
    end if;
    return (true);
    end;
    This will allow you to select a department or leave it at the default of all departments. It will also allow you to remove the hardcoded statement in your where clause such as
    where department = 'HR'
