How to create a hidden parameter in a 11.1.1.6 BI Publisher Report

We are in the process of migrating from BI Publisher 10g to 11.1.1.6. We used the Upgrade Assistant to migrate a couple thousand reports to the new 11g server. Most of the reports seem to be working fine, but some need some adjusting.
In 10g, there was an option to make a parameter with a type of "Hidden". Most of our reports have at least one parameter that is hidden. The hidden parameters are functional in the converted reports on the 11g server. But, when I want to modify a parameters on 11g or create a new parameter, there is no option to make the parameter hidden. I performed several web searches on the topic, but came up with nothing. I searched the report developer's guide. Nothing.
So, how does one create a hidden parameter in BI Publisher 11g?

Our team is researching the same thing, we have review all the documentation and not found anything helpful. Have you made any progress?

    using the privileges we can achieve this.Although I am not new to APEX I have no idea what you are talking about.
    What is "a System Parameter in Apex"? What "privileges" are used to create one?
    You'll find it easier to get help if you use terminology that is familiar to everyone...

  • How to create a dynamic parameter off a universe field

    Post Author: Summer Frend
    CA Forum: General
    Hello,
    I am trying to create a dynamic parameter in Crystal Reports off my universe field. However the fields appear to all come in as STRING with length 65534 (memo field?). Therefore the fields are not available to choose in my parameter creation box. NOTE: In the universe designer, the field is set as CHARACTER type. I am just trying to make it work with the sample universes that are shipped with BobJ.
    Is there a way in the Universe Designer to make the fields come into Crystal Reports as string fields so that I can choose them as the value for the dynamic parameter in Crystal Reports?
    Thanks,
    Summer Frend

    I'll try again,
    My problem is that I want a dynamic paramater for my Master flow (on START1 activity, so it is something like that : start1.param = select seq.nextval form dual; or from a function GET_PROCESS_ID) but it seems that I must give a permanent parameter it can not be set dynamicaly. I want my flow to be independant of any human intervention. So if it is the first load it does one thing if not the first load it does something else. I can not understand the point of having a parameter (in) that can not be set dynamicaly (looks more like a constant to me, or I'm missing something here). Hope your getting my point.
    Thanks again

  • How to create a user parameter for a report

    Hi,
    I am writing a report in ORACLE 6.0, and I need to create a user
    parameter for my report.
    My database includes fields: item_id, item_cost, and item_desc.
    What I want to do is: set up a user parameter for item_cost, and
    the report will prompt the user to enter number into this
    parameter, then the report will display item_id and item_desc
    depending the user-entered item_cost.
    thanks.

  • How to create an optional parameter in ssrs report

    I have a report where I want to give the report user the option of entering a phone number as a filter if they want to pull data only for a particular phone number or  pull the report without entering a phone number as a parameter, thus disregarding
    the use of the filter.     I have parameter for the phone number that shows as a text box where the report user can enter the number then click to run the report.  A filter on the data set that uses the phone number parameter as the
    value.   It works fine when I enter a phone number (it returns the row associated with the phone number entered.  However when I do not enter a phone number, no rows are returned.    How can I get all rows to be retuned when
    I do not enter a value for the parameter?
    M Collier

    Hello,
    Did you specify the DefaultValue or ValidValue of the parameter 'parameter name1' by get values from another parameter or itself?
    If there is another parameter or
    cascading parameters , the error may caused by the order of parameters. When preview report, the order of the parameters in the Report Data pane determines the order in which the parameter queries appear in the report. Please verify the order
    of the cascading parameters.
    Whats's more, please also check the parameters name and the acceptable values of the parameters.

  • How to create Array type parameter of Oracle 10.2.0.1.0 in java

    I create a collection type with:
    CREATE OR REPLACE
    type TEST_User.T_ARRAY AS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(100);
    and in java code, I use following code to create a parameter of this type, and set it for a procdure
    String[] userMakeArray = new String[]{"V", "N", "A"};
    oracle.sql.ArrayDescriptor descriptor = oracle.sql.ArrayDescriptor.createDescriptor("TEST_User.T_ARRAY", cn); // cn is connection instance to database
    oracle.sql.ARRAY array = new oracle.sql.ARRAY(descriptor, cn, userMakeArray);
    ((oracle.jdbc.OracleCallableStatement)call).setArray(8, array);
    when i use this to call procedure in Oracle 10.1, it work well.
    In Oracle 10.2, it does not work well.
    For test, I can execute procedure well in sql plus, but in java client, I found that array contains three items "Null", while array is correct when conect to 10.1 enviroment.
    does anybody know what's the reason for this.
    thanks a lot.

    Hi,
    Too long to copy/paste here but i have a simpler working example of Nested Table of VARCHAR2 type against 10.2.0.x, in chapter 3 and 8 of my book:
    create or replace type NTab_Vc2 as TABLE of varchar2(30)
    create table NSTableTab (id int, numnt NTab_Num, vc2nt NTab_Vc2, datnt
    NTab_Dat)
    nested table numnt store as NSTabNum,
    nested table vc2nt store as NSTabVc2,
    nested table datnt store as NSTabDat;
    insert into NSTableTab values (1,
    NTab_Num(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10),
    NTab_Vc2 ('One', 'Two', 'Three', 'Four', 'Five', 'Six', 'Seven', 'Eight', 'Nine', 'Ten'),NTab_Dat('01-JAN-2003', '02-JAN-2003', '03-JAN-2003', '04-JAN-2003',

  • How to create a hidden shape in a photograph (illustrator/ photoshop)

    Hi,
    I'm new to illustrator and even newer to photoshop so I'm not sure which would be suitable to acheive the look I want. I have searched google endlessly by cannot find the tutorial I need.
    I have a photograph, and I would like for a shape (say a triangle for arguments sake) to be on the photograph. I would like the shape to have no fill or stroke as such (so the photograph is uninterrupted), but only to be visible due to the part of the photograph that is within the triangle being slightly different to the rest. Examples would be that the triangle may have a slightly different texture, be black and white, or be magnified slightly etc?
    If anyone can get me started as to the direction I need to go it would be greatly appreciated. Any examples would also be great so that I can see if it is actually the result I'm looking to achieve.
    Thanks in advance.

    That effect would be easier to do in photoshop, since it is an image.
    Basically what you would do is create a path instead of a shape, found in the top tool bar when you use one of the shape tools.
    This path can then be turned into a selection this selection will be the only area affected, or better yet jump the selected area to a new layer then you can apply styles to that layer.
    ctrl-j (windows) cmd-j (mac) to copy the selection to a new layer
    ctrl-shift-j (windows) cmd-shift-j (mac) to move the selection to a new layer
    If you move the selection to a new layer, then you can slightly move the location a hare which can help in giving it a puzzle look.
    Any more questions about photoshop would be best posted in the photoshop forum. Photoshop General Discussion

  • Pass an hidden parameter to the BI Publisher

    Hi guru,
    I need to pass a value (parameter) to a BI Publisher report without to show the value to the user. I tried to create an hidden parameter, and tried to pass the value but don't work. I tried to call the report in GET and POST without success.
    If the parameter is visible, it works.
    Any idea to do it with another method?
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks a lot for your answers.
    The link http://www.it-eye.nl/weblog/2006/06/12/passing-a-url-parameter-to-model-using-adf/ is no more reachable.
    The following EL expression work for displaying the parameter inside an outputText component :

  • How to create EP-iView (SPS19) that shows BI planning template (NW2004s)

    Hi,
    we have an EP6 SPS19 with many reports coming from a BW system. Now we migrate the BW from 3.5 to NW2004s (7.0) to use integrated planning. We also implemented the BI Java which is required for planning. Now I wonder how to create iViews on our  EP6 system which points to these kind of reports. Which kind of iView do I need? Do I have to create a system object for the BI Java instance? A system object that points to the ABAP instance is already there, because we already have many iViews to reports from the ABAP stack.
    I would appreciate if one points me to a good documentation.
    Thanks in advance,
    Uwe

    Hi Uwe,
    If you have designed the templates in Web Application Designer then you can publish the template to the portal. You would get an url pointing to the template in the portal. You can then create an "URL iView" in the portal pointing to the url.
    You can also create Bex Application iViews from the published templates.
    You would not need to create a new "System" object if there is already one  pointing to the BI ABAP system.
    This link points to publishing BI Content to Portal
