How to pass arguments from PAPI to the process

Can any one tell me How to pass arguments from PAPI to the process.

The link Creating a new work item instance in a process using PAPI shows how to create instances on PAPI and pass in the variable information as they are being created.
Provide some additional detail if you're interested in seeing how to pass in variable information using PAPI for scenarios other than instance creation.

How to pass arguments from command line to the .jsx

Hi, I have a .jsx file that does some scripting with photoshop. I would like to be able to call that script from the command line and pass some arguments. I have been going off of the forum at http://support.muse.adobe.com/thread/290023, mainly the last post. Here it is ...
command line example : runjavascript.vbs c:\mydirectory\test.jsx arg0 arg1 arg2 arg3
=====start runjavascript.vbs ===============
Set vbsArguments = WScript.Arguments
If vbsArguments.Length = 0 Then
WScript.Echo "Argument(0) is `your script to execute"
WScript.Echo "Arguments(0+n) are passed to your script as argument(0) to argument(n-1)"
Else
ReDim jsxArguments(vbsArguments.length-2)
for i = 1 to vbsArguments.length - 1
jsxArguments(i-1) = vbsArguments(i)
Next
Set photoshop = CreateObject( "Photoshop.Application" )
photoshop.BringToFront
'DoJavaScript has 3 parameters
' syntax DoJavaScript(arg[0], arg[1], arg[2]]
'arg[0] == javascript file to execute, full pathname
'arg[1] == an array of arguments to past to the javascript
'arg[2] == AiJavaScriptExecutionMode: aiNeverShowDebugger = 1,, aiDebuggerOnError = 2 aiBeforeRunning = 3
' only use 1
Call photoshop.DoJavaScriptFile( vbsArguments(0), jsxArguments, 1)
End IF
=====end runjavascript.vbs ===============
=======start test.jsx ====================
#target photoshop
for( n = 0 ; n < arguments.length; n++ ){
alert("argument("+ n+")= " + arguments[n]);
=======end test.jsx ====================
In summary, it calls a VBScript from the command line and passing args to the VBScript where it will run the .jsx and pass along the args to the .jsx. This is all seems to work, except that the args never make it from the command line into the .jsx and I'm having trouble narrowing down why.
I know the args are getting into the VBScript from the command line because I can successfully print them out using WScript.Echo. The VBScript then takes the args and makes a new array called jsxArguments which just holds the arguments that are to be passed on to the .jsx as the second argument in the DoJavaScriptFile().
I cannot tell if the jsxArguments is correct or not. I added an isobject(jsxArguments) check in the VBScript which fails, but if I do a WScript.Echo jsxArguments(0) it will correctly print out the contents of the array at that position.
I know that the args are not getting into the .jsx because I added a line alert(arguments.length) which prints out 0.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I don't use VBS so this is just a guess based on what I have read in this forum. I think when you are passing an 'array' to javascript it needs to be a variant data type. My guess your arguments are not making it to the javascript because it it the wrong data type.

How to pass arguments from command-line to Point(x,y)

Hi guys, I'm a beginner. i'm trying to figure this out 'how to pass the arguments from command-line to Point(x,y)'. See below is the code that i have written. But it appears eror. Is there anyone can help me to figure this out?

How to pass Data from one form to the other

Hi all
Can any one suggest me how to pass data from one form to the other form, which i zoomed from the original one?
I tried to do this by passing parameter in Event Procedure but i am getting error msg when i am opening the zoomed form.
If any one of u have any idea, give me a reply
Thank you
Suhasini

If you choose the second alternative you should erase these global variables after the second form is opened
You can erase the global variable using:
erase('global_var')

Passing arguments from Air to Photoshop jsx script

I would like to invoke JavaScript file in Photoshop from my Adobe Air application. I managed to call my script with the following code:
// Create native startup info
nativeProcessStartupInfo = new NativeProcessStartupInfo();
nativeProcessStartupInfo.executable = filePhotoshop; // File referencing Photoshop exe
// Create Vector array to pass arguments
procarg = new Vector.<String>();
procarg.push("start");
procarg.push(jsFileToCall);// String with path to my jsx file
procarg.push(scriptData); // String with argument to pass to jsx file
nativeProcessStartupInfo.arguments = procarg;
// Create native process object for calling executable file
process = new NativeProcess();
// SET ERROR HANDLERS
process.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.STANDARD_ERROR_DATA ,onError,false,0,true);
process.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.STANDARD_ERROR_IO_ERROR ,onError,false,0,true);
process.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.STANDARD_INPUT_IO_ERROR ,onError,false,0,true);
process.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.STANDARD_OUTPUT_IO_ERROR ,onError,false,0,true);
process.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.STANDARD_ERROR_DATA ,onError,false,0,true);
// CALL NATIVE PROCESS
process.start(nativeProcessStartupInfo);
The Photoshop app is started, my JavaScript is invoked, but the argument is not passed into jsx.
Is there any method how to pass arguments to script in Photoshop? (I know that I can use the file to pass the parameters, but I do not like that solution.)
Thanks in advance for any hint.
Zdenek M

The only documented way I know of is programming the script as a Photoshop Plug-in that has a dialog. Then record using the script in an action. The script will record the arguments used in its dialog into the Photoshop Actions step. Then when the action is used played the action recorded arguments are retrived and the script bypasses displaying its dialog.
However In CS3 I looked at Adobe Photoshop Image Processor JavaScript it internaly used the Fit Image Plug-in Script and passed the width and hight to it. So it is posible to pass arguments from one JSX to an JSX Plug-in Script.
From CS5 "Image Processor.jsx"
// use the fit image automation plug-in to do this work for me
function FitImage( inWidth, inHeight ) {
          if ( inWidth == undefined || inHeight == undefined ) {
                    alert( strWidthAndHeight );
                    return;
          var desc = new ActionDescriptor();
          var unitPixels = charIDToTypeID( '#Pxl' );
          desc.putUnitDouble( charIDToTypeID( 'Wdth' ), unitPixels, inWidth );
          desc.putUnitDouble( charIDToTypeID( 'Hght' ), unitPixels, inHeight );
          var runtimeEventID = stringIDToTypeID( "3caa3434-cb67-11d1-bc43-0060b0a13dc4" );
          executeAction( runtimeEventID, desc, DialogModes.NO );
If You can write a file from Adobe Air you could also write the jsx file to pass the args you want to pass a to plug-in script via the ActionManager.

OBIEE 11g How to pass variable from one prompt to another prompt in dashboard page.

How to pass variable from one prompt to another prompt in dashboard page.
I have two prompt in dashboard page as below.
Reporttype
prompt: values(Accounting, Operational) Note: values stored as
presentation variable and they are not coming from table.
Date prompt values (Account_date, Operation_date)
Note:values are coming from dim_date table.
Now the task is When user select First
Prompt value “Accounting” Then in the
second prompt should display only Accounting_dates , if user select “operational”
and it should display only operation_dates in second prompt.
In order to solve this issue I made the
first prompt “Reporttype” values(Accounting, Operational) as presentation
values (custom specific values) and default presentation value is accounting.
In second prompt Date are coming from
dim_date table and I selected Sql results as shown below.
SELECT case when '@{Reporttype}'='Accounting'
then "Dates (Receipts)"."Acct Year"
else "Dates (Receipts)"."Ops
Year" End FROM "Receipts"
Issue: Presentation variable value is not
changing in sql when user select “operation” and second prompt always shows
acct year in second prompt.
For testing pupose I kept this presentation
variable in text object of dashboard and values are changing there, but not in
second prompt sql.
Please suggest the solution.

You will want to use the MoveClipLoader class (using its loadClip() and addListener() methods) rather than loadMovie so that you can wait for the file to load before you try to access anything in it. You can create an empty movieclip to load the swf into, and in that way the loaded file can be targeted using the empty movieclip instance name.

How to pass argument in main function ?

How to pass arguments in main function of one class from another class ?
I don't want to pass argument from command prompt.
I want to try something like this -
class Test{
public static void main(String args[]){
for(int i=0;i<args.length;i++)
     System.out.println(args);
class Fun{
public static void main(String args[]){
     Test t=new Test("Hello","good bye");
when i run Fun class it gives error.
Suggest me how can i do that.

In Fun class main method does not take arguments that is fine. In Test class instead of main method you can have constructor to take input parameters as suggested by BalusC
However, if you want to make your existing code work, you can call (though not appropriate) main() method of Test class from main() method of Fun class (As main() method is static object is not required to invoke this):
Test.main(new String[]{"Hello","good bye"});Here is your code:
class Test{
public static void main(String args[]){
for(int i=0;i<args.length;i++)
System.out.println(args);
public class Fun{
public static void main(String args[]){
//Test t=new Test("Hello","good bye");
Test.main(new String[]{"Hello","good bye"});

How to pass username and password with the portal url

i want to access portal from my web site. i have created username and password fields in my web page. when submited , my portal page should open. so how to pass username and password with the portal url.

This is not straightforward; but it is doable.
First tell us about your portal version; portal 10.1.4 has a slightly different method of doing it and the pre-10g portals were completely different animals.
And if you are in AS Rel 2, then the most important document for you would probably be the following:
[Creating Deployment Specific Pages| http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/idmanage.1012/b14078/custom.htm#i1015535]
You might want to use it in conjunction with some metalink notes about your portal version and such a login page.
hope that helps!

How to pass data from one internal session to another internal session

hi all sap experts ,
How to pass data from one internal session to another internal session and from oneExternal session to another external session.
Except : Import and Export parameters and SPA/GPA parameters.
Tell me the otherWay to pass data ..
Plz
Thanks in advance

hi,
abap memory management u will understand about this concept.
the import /export parameter will help u that passing data between two internal sessions by using abap memory.
for syntax
Passing Data Between Programs
There are two ways of passing data to a called program:
Passing Data Using Internal Memory Areas
There are two cross-program memory areas to which ABAP programs have access (refer to the diagram in Memory Structures of an ABAP Program) that you can use to pass data between programs.
SAP Memory
SAP memory is a memory area to which all main sessions within a SAPgui have access. You can use SAP memory either to pass data from one program to another within a session, or to pass data from one session to another. Application programs that use SAP memory must do so using SPA/GPA parameters (also known as SET/GET parameters). These parameters can be set either for a particular user or for a particular program using the SET PARAMETER statement. Other ABAP programs can then retrieve the set parameters using the GET PARAMETER statement. The most frequent use of SPA/GPA parameters is to fill input fields on screens (see below).
ABAP Memory
ABAP memory is a memory area that all ABAP programs within the same internal session can access using the EXPORT and IMPORT statements. Data within this area remains intact during a whole sequence of program calls. To pass data to a program which you are calling, the data needs to be placed in ABAP memory before the call is made. The internal session of the called program then replaces that of the calling program. The program called can then read from the ABAP memory. If control is then returned to the program which made the initial call, the same process operates in reverse. For further information, refer to Data Clusters in ABAP Memory.
Filling Input Fields on an Initial Screen
Most programs that you call from other programs have their own initial screen that the user must fill with values. For an executable program, this is normally the selection screen. The SUBMIT statement has a series of additions that you can use to fill the input fields of the called program:
Filling the Selection Screen of a Called Program
You cannot fill the input fields of a screen using additions in the calling statement. Instead, you can use SPA/GPA parameters. For further information, refer to Filling an Initial Screen Using SPA/GPA Parameters.

How to pass data from one internal session to another

Hi SAP Experts,
How to pass data from one internal session to another and from One external session to another external session. I used import and export parmeter and SPA/GPA parameters. What is the other way to pass data?

Thank you

Memory Structures of an ABAP Program
In the Overview of the R/3 Basis System you have seen that each user can open up to six R/3 windows in a single SAPgui session. Each of these windows corresponds to a session on the application server with its own area of shared memory.
The first application program that you start in a session opens an internal session within the main session. The internal session has a memory area that contains the ABAP program and its associated data. When the program calls external routines (methods, subroutines or function modules) their main program and working data are also loaded into the memory area of the internal session.
Only one internal session is ever active. If the active application program calls a further application program, the system opens another internal session. Here, there are two possible cases: If the second program does not return control to the calling program when it has finished running, the called program replaces the calling program in the internal session. The contents of the memory of the calling program are deleted. If the second program does return control to the calling program when it has finished running, the session of the called program is not deleted. Instead, it becomes inactive, and its memory contents are placed on a stack.
The memory area of each session contains an area called ABAP memory. ABAP memory is available to all internal sessions. ABAP programs can use the EXPORT and IMPORT statements to access it. Data within this area remains intact during a whole sequence of program calls. To pass data to a program which you are calling, the data needs to be placed in ABAP memory before the call is made. The internal session of the called program then replaces that of the calling program. The program called can then read from the ABAP memory. If control is then returned to the program which made the initial call, the same process operates in reverse.
All ABAP programs can also access the SAP memory. This is a memory area to which all sessions within a SAPgui have access. You can use SAP memory either to pass data from one program to another within a session, or to pass data from one session to another. Application programs that use SAP memory must do so using SPA/GPA parameters (also known as SET/GET parameters). These parameters are often used to preassign values to input fields. You can set them individually for users, or globally according to the flow of an application program. SAP memory is the only connection between the different sessions within a SAPgui.
The following diagram shows how an application program accesses the different areas within shared memory:
In the diagram, an ABAP program is active in the second internal session of the first main session. It can access the memory of its own internal session, ABAP memory and SAP memory. The program in the first internal session has called the program which is currently active, and its own data is currently inactive on the stack. If the program currently active calls another program but will itself carry on once that program has finished running, the new program will be activated in a third internal session.
Data Clusters in ABAP Memory
You can store data clusters in ABAP memory. ABAP memory is a memory area within the internal session (roll area) of an ABAP program and any other program called from it using CALL TRANSACTION or SUBMIT.
ABAP memory is independent of the ABAP program or program module from which it was generated. In other words, an object saved in ABAP memory can be read from any other ABAP program in the same call chain. ABAP memory is not the same as the cross-transaction global SAP memory. For further information, refer to Passing Data Between Programs.
This allows you to pass data from one module to another over several levels of the program hierarchy. For example, you can pass data
From an executable program (report) to another executable program called using SUBMIT.
From a transaction to an executable program (report).
Between dialog modules.
From a program to a function module.
and so on.
The contents of the memory are released when you leave the transaction.
To save data objects in ABAP memory, use the statement EXPORT TO MEMORY.
Saving Data Objects in Memory
To read data objects from memory, use the statement IMPORT FROM MEMORY.
Reading Data Objects from Memory
To delete data clusters from memory, use the statement FREE MEMORY.
Deleting Data Clusters from Memory

How to pass password from jsp to Applet

Hi ,
I can pass the user to applet like below. But password will be seen from view source.
How can pass password without showing in the view source.
<PARAM NAME="loginname" VALUE="<%=request.getParameter("loginname")%>">
<PARAM NAME="loginpassword" VALUE="<%=request.getParameter("loginpassword")%>">
Thanks in advance.
Rockesh

Or alternatively, determine why you need to pass the password on to the Applet.
For example, if the Applet needs to log into a resource, it is much more secure to ask the user for a password then, as opposed to getting the password from a form, passing it on to the Applet and then having the Applet blindly relay the password to the server, the database, whatever.
If the Applet doesn't need to do anything with the password, then I must question the wisdom of passing on the password in the first place.
If the Applet uses the password to do authentication, then the best solution is to generate hashes of the password and compare those hashes as needed. This would make it much more difficult for someone to either eavesdrop on it, or guess it through random trial and error. We can take it one step further. When the JSP code is executed - generate a one time unique password that's extremely long, at least 128 characters. Embed the password in the resulting HTML page as a hidden field and seed the Applet with the password. That would tie the Applet to a particular web page.
I really like SpinyNorman's JavaScript, but if that's indeed your purpose, you might as well do it in the Applet itself. In other words, it's kind of pointless to ask for a password in order to launch the Applet - once the user gets the Applet's URL by some means, he can just bypass the JavaScript authentication.
