How can I use a variable in webi query filter

I created a webi report using the fiscal year/month(period) field as a filter to show a window of 18 periods. The report works just as requested using a between filter on fiscal period with prompts for both the start and ending periods. Now I'd like to calculate the start period based on what was entered in the prompt for the ending period (e.g. enter 201106 for the TO prompt on the between statement and have the FROM statement filled in as 201001.) I can create variables in the report to display both the user response to the ending period prompt and the calculated starting period, but I cannot figure out how to incorporate that calculated starting date into the FROM side of the between query filter.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Doug
Sorry I got my froms and to's mixed up in the first draft. Edited by: Doug Roswold on Mar 4, 2011 6:27 PM

Let me understand what you want to do. You don't want to use two prompts, just one, insn't it?
I mean, instead of:
Filter area:
Date between "From prompt" to "To Prompt"
You want something like:.
Filter area:
Date between Variable to "To Prompt"
if I'm not wrong that's not possible to achieve in Webi Query Panel.
Can you modify your universe? The only way to achieve it is modifying your universe, creating your formula in the universe and assigning it to an object, so you can use this new object in your filter area like this:
Date between MyUniverseObject to "To Prompt"

How can I use environment variables in a controller?

Hi all,
How can I use environment variables in a controller?
I want to pass a fully qualified directory and file name to FileInputStream and would like to do it by resolving an env variable, such as $APPLTMP.
Is there a method somewhere that would resolve this??
By the way,Did anyone used the class of "oracle.apps.fnd.cp.request.RemoteFile"?
The following is the code.
My EBS server is installed with 2 nodes(one for current,and other is for application and DB).I want to copy the current server's file to the application server's $APPLTMP directory. But the result of "mCtx.getEnvStore().getEnv("APPLTMP")" is current server's $APPLTMP directory.
Can anyone help me on this?
private String getURL()
throws IOException
File locC = null;
File remC = new File(mPath);
String lurl = null;
CpUtil lUtil = new CpUtil();
String exten;
Connection lConn = mCtx.getJDBCConnection();
ErrorStack lES = mCtx.getErrorStack();
LogFile lLF = mCtx.getLogFile();
String gwyuid = mCtx.getEnvStore().getEnv("GWYUID");
String tmpDir = mCtx.getEnvStore().getEnv("APPLTMP");
String twoTask = mCtx.getEnvStore().getEnv("TWO_TASK");
// create temp file
mLPath = lUtil.createTempFile("OF", exten, tmpDir);
lUtil.logTempFile(mLPath, mLNode, mCtx);
Thanks,

However within OAF on the application it doesn't.
what doesnt work, do you get errors or nothing ?XX_TOP is defined in adovars.env only. Anywhere else this has to go?
No, it is read from the adovars.env file only.Thanks

How can we use java variable in javascript code on JSP page?

How can we use java variable in javascript code on JSP page?
Pls help

Think about it:
JSP/Java is executed on the Server and produces HTML+JavaScript.
Then that HTML+JavaScript is transfered to the client. The client now interpretes the HTML+JavaScript.
Obviously there's no way to access a Java variable directly from JavaScript.
What you can do, however, is write out some JavaScript that creates a JavaScript variable containing the value of your Java variable.

How can I use the Variable Delay VI (From DSP Module) to Deploy Variable Delay on Speddy-33

Dears,
I dont Understand How Can I Use the Variable Delay to Deploy Variable Delay on a Speedy-33 Kit

Hello,
Thank you for posting to the NI Forums!! You should be able to incorporate the Variable Delay.vi into your vi and then build as normal and the functionality of the vi should translate to the build. What type of build are you doing? Are you receiving any specific errors? Thanks!

How can i use substitution variable

Hai All
This is my sql statement
SELECT (TO_DATE(TO_CHAR(Intime,'DD-MON-YYYY')||' '||
TO_CHAR(0815,'0000'),'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI')-intime) * 24*60
from dail_att where to_char(intime,'hh24mi') between 0700 and 0815 ;
Here my table name called Dailyattendance
Intime field is declared as Date Type
So now i have hardcoded 0815 and now my intime is subtracted from this time so i can calculate the employee
coming late so how can i use substitution variable here to give the value at run time
Ie i need to give 0815 instead or any other time at runtime
Thanks In advance
Srikkanth.M

Where exactly are you planing to use it? Is sqlplus or at any other front end?
One way is to use below given SQL
SELECT   ( TO_DATE (   TO_CHAR (intime, 'DD-MON-YYYY')
                     || ' '
                     || TO_CHAR (:TIME_VAR, '0000'),
                     'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI'
          - intime
       * 24
       * 60
FROM dail_att
WHERE TO_CHAR (intime, 'hh24mi') BETWEEN 0700 AND 0815;*009*

added {noformat}{noformat} tags. Please read {message:id=9360002} to learn to do this yourself in future.

You would jettison the entire LAST_WEEK subquery. Then replace your failure calculation with
    current_week.failure - lag(current_week.failure) over (order by current_week.year, current_week.week) as failures_compareI suppose you might want to think about renaming the sub-query as well ....

How can I use XMLBeans in a Web Services client?

How can I use XMLBeans in a standalone Java client with a Web Service?
I posted the message below earlier in the year, but have not yet been successful
in my
attempts.
regards
Eddie
Hi,
I'm trying to using XMLBeans to send a document to a web service from a standalone
Java client. I'm using the PurchaseOrder (easypo) example document, and the service
expects a parameter of type PurchaseOrderDocument. The client proxy class generated
by WebLogic Workshop, however, expects to send a parameter of type PurchaseOrder.
In the client, I can instantiate a PurchaseOrderDocument, and then obtain a PurchaseOrder
(e.g. pod.getPurchaseOrder() ), but the returned class is not compatible with
the PurchaseOrder type that the client proxy expects.
In a previous attempt (not using Workshop), the client would not compile because
it expected to send a non-abstract class with a public default constructor (presumably
a JAX-RPC requirement), and XMLBeans had generated an interface.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
thanks & regards
Eddie

I have been experiencing similar problems with the HTML Editor and have managed to find an answer that should start to answer some of my questions. The Apex HTML Editor Standard is actually an HTML editor called FCKeditor. The FCKeditor has a Javascript API that can be found at http://docs.fckeditor.net/FCKeditor_2.x/Developers_Guide/JavaScript_API. Unfortuately this doesn't seem to give the whole answer and I found more at http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/thread.cfm/threadid:49607.
I needed to get the text entered within my html editor standard (e.g. P1_MYTEXT) and use it within my javascript function. I did this by using the following script
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function showtext(){
var oEditor = FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance('P1_MYTEXT');
var editortext = escape(oEditor.GetXHTML(oEditor.FormatOutput));
alert(editortext);
</script>
Hope this helps.

Not that I could find.
The easiest workaround that I could find is a trimmed piece of Black Construction Paper taped over the Mac's display.
Alternatively, you could use an external Mac Compatible Web Cameras and then close the lid, but that is a higher cost option.

How Can I use a Variable in Data Controls query. Frank Kindly check...

Hii,
I am using JDeveloper 11g ADF BC.
My Requirement is that I hv a login screen which is taken from [http://blogs.oracle.com/shay/simpleJSFDBlogin.zip].
I hv attached BC in this application. I want to use the login usercode in the next pages after login screen. Next screen contains 3 list items which will be populating based on the user. So I created <af:selectOneChoice> using the BC( Just drag & dropped the column into the page from the data controls). But in the data control i want to use this usercode for passing the condition. Now Data is coming without any condition.
So How can I use the usercode in the Data controls query.
When I tried to display the usercode in the next page it is showing by binding the value. its code is follows
<af:outputText value="#{backing_getUser.uid}"
The program for checking the username & Password is follows.
package login.backing;

public RichInputText getInputText2() {

Hi,
I didn't look at the example, but if you want to secure your application then you should use container managed security. Read this .
Anyway, you could add this before return "good"; in your login_action()
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getSessionMap().put("username", user);Then, you can access this from anywhere in the application by using #{sessionScope.username}.

Hi Niels,
As I'm sure you know, the conundrum is that Reports doesn't know how many total pages there will be in the report until it is all done formatting, which is too late for your needs. So, one classical solution to this problem is to run the report twice, storing the total number of pages in the database using a format trigger, and throwing away the output from the first run when you don't know the total number of pages.
Alternatively, you could define a report layout so that the number of pages in the output is completely predictable based upon, say, the number of rows in the main query. E.g., set a limit of one, two, ... rows per page, and then you'll know how many pages there will be simply because you can count the rows in a separate query.
Hope this helps...
regards,
Stewart

How can i use param in my select query ( see code)

Hi ,
I need to use the param instead of hardcoding the value in the select query , when i did that it is working .
I think the limit of args is only till the end of main and my select query is in a method called Load() .
How can i use the param in my select query .
public static void main(String[] args){
name = args[0];
class= args[1];
new Load();
}//end of main
public Load()

}// end of method Load()Edited by: 1sai on Sep 24, 2008 7:34 AM
Edited by: 1sai on Sep 24, 2008 7:35 AM

Might I suggest you change the structure of your program to the following:
public class Load {
private Connection conn;
private PreparedStatement statement;
public Load(String sql) {
    init(sql);
protected void init(String sql) throws Exception {
    Class.forName(JDBC_DRIVER);
    conn = DriverManager.getConnection(DATABASE_URL, "username", "pw");
    statement = conn.prepareStatement(sql);
public ResultSet execute(String p1, String p2) throws Exception {
    statement.setString(1, p1);
    statement.setString(2, p2);
    return statement.executeQuery();
public void close() throws Exception {
    if (statement != null)
      statement.close();
    statement = null;
    if (conn != null)
      conn.close();
    conn = null;
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    String sql = args[0];
    String param1 = args[1];
    String param2 = args[2];
    Load load = new Load(sql);
    ResultSet rs = load.execute(param1, param2);
    while (rs.next())
      System.out.println(rs.get(0));
    rs.close();
    load.close();
}This allows you to use the same "Load" object for multiple queries with different parameters.
I do not recommend you actually use the code above in any sort of production application. You should really take a look at Spring Framework along with an ORM tool like Hibernate or Ibatis to simplify your DAO layer.
Hope this helps,
David

How can I use local variable in LabVIEW-Action?

Hi All!
There is local variable (for example "MyVariable") in local scope of project. There is Action-step, created by LabVIEW. One of input terminals step is "Sequence Context".
How can I access to MyVariable by Sequence Context? Unbundle? It does't work.
Thank you.

On the TestStand palette there is a VI called TestStand - Get Property Value.vi. Use that. Attached is an image showing how to use it. The trick is making it produce the correct data type. Do that by right clicking on the VI and selecting Select Type. Then you can choose the type. I think in LV 2010 and TS 2010 it is a polymorphic VI and you can just change it. I wrote an example here for Chaz: http://forums.ni.com/t5/NI-TestStand/How-to-execute-two-steps-in-parallel/td-p/1449874
It's the second example that's attached.
Hope this helps,
