Illegal input value

Isupport, Customer Support and Teleservice throw me the error below everytime I try to input strings that look like
potential cross site scripting attacks.
The following input contained illegal input value, please re-enter your input or contact the system administrator
My user claims that this was working a few weeks back which makes me think that someone probably turn a profile on. Is there a specific profile that would turn this on/off ?
Also, what exactly are the strings that it watches out for ?

Hi Miguel,
i have a customer waiting for the xml and the patches to be implemented.
I cannot downlaod them via service.sap.com/swdc, because its ehp4 related.
Regards,
Jan
PS: I got a SAP-message which says its already fixed.
Try to redo the "landscape_fetch" job and will let you know if this is the solution.
OK. Still the same situation... does not work.

Dear Mr. Tschofen,
The issue in the backend calculation which lead to the error
"The transferred input parameter contains an illegal value"
is now solved.
Could you please try again recreating the mopz transaction from scratch?
Thanks for your patience and sorry for the inconvenience this caused.

WORKING NOW!
Thank you for your kind patience.
An enhancement for the calculation was introduced to support
the support package range, but it has a side effect on some special
cases, like calculation of stack-independent and add-on, which has not
been tested before. Now the problem has been fixed in SAP backend
system.
Please create a new maintenance optimizer transaction to check if
the error "The transferred input parameter contains an illegal value"
is resolved.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused.
Thanks very much and kind regards,

Illegal Input exception in lookup Api

Hi all,
We have a custom scheduled task to populate the lookup values. The task was working fine. But as per my observation whenever we are getting any values need to go in decode contains *<,>,--* like values "*dummy <ch>*","*the org -- organization*" it throws illegal input exception. The same values when we tried to put through design console was accepted. Does lookup operations api doing some validation? if so is there any way to off this as we cannot ensure about the data containing these special chars. TIA

You would have to edit conf/xlconfig.xml to contain this:
<AppFirewall>
<SecurityLevel>0</SecurityLevel>
</AppFirewall>
(starting at 9.1 this defaults to 1)
However, be aware that this will turn off all sql injection checking in all inputs (api calls, recon data, etc.)
The web ui might still do its own checking on top of that, I actually cannot remember off the top of my head.

How can I stay on the same line when inputting values in the CLI?

The title is a bit vague i know :) but i have this issue which isn't really a problem but it would be better if I can solve it.
Intro)
I've made this simple addition (and more options but thats not relevant) application for kids in my spare time so that they can train their maths in school and compare their results with other students which is saved in the database using the hypersonic DB that comes with the JBoss application server.
Now so far so good, but i'm having an issue with the Scanner (I think, but i doubt its because of the CLI) , when i enter a number or text it works and exceptions will be catched etc but when i press the enter key without anything entered the input value wil be displayed a line below and that's not what I want. I want it to stay in the same line.
Sample CLI output:

I am facing error while running Quickpay in Fusion payroll that "The input value Periodicity is missing for element type KGOC_Unpaid_Absence_Amount. Enter a valid input value". Any idea?

I am facing error while running Quickpay in Fusion payroll that "The input value Periodicity is missing for element type KGOC_Unpaid_Absence_Amount. Enter a valid input value". Any idea?

This is most probably because the Periodicity input value has been configured as "Required" and no value has been input for it.
Please enter a value and try to re-run Quick Pay.

Unable to provide input value to InfoObject in SEM-BCS

Hello BI Experts,
I have created an infoobject 'ABC' in BI and have flagged 'With Master Data' and 'With Text'. This infoobject has an navigational attribute 'XYZ'(XYZ also has 'With Master Data' and 'With Text').
When I go to T.Code UCWB(BCS Workbench), I could able to see the infoobject 'ABC' and when I try to create master data for 'ABC', I do not see the input field for 'XYZ'. I want to input values in Infoobject 'XYZ' through this screen(SEM-BCS) and not through BI(right-click on infoobject 'Maintain Master Data). Please let me know, if I am missing anything.

Hi Shekar
I find the ICD setup very 'picky'! If you get one thing wrong, it doesn't work. I have detailed below the steps I usually advise people to tek. Check your setup and see if this helps.
1. Define Plan Type, Compensation Category = Others.
2. Define Plan. Link to Plan Type. Plan Usage = May not be in program. On Not in program Tab - define sequence, currency, enrollment rate (per pay period?), activity reference period (Monthly). Your settings may need to be different. On Plan details tab, enter plan years.
3. Plan enrollment requirements. On the general tab, plan sub tab, make sure the method = EXPLICIT. this allows the user to enter an input value for the ICD. THIS MAY WELL BE THE SOURCE OF YOUR PROBLEM!
Make sure the CERTIFICATION region is UNTICKED. This can also cause ICDs not to work.
ALLOWS UNRESTRICTED ENROLLMENT must be TICKED. Otherwise there is no eligibility to the ICD.
On the rates subregion, make sure the run strt date is set to ENTERABLE.
4. standard Rates form. Make sure the ACTIVITY TYPE and TAX TYPE are entered. Select the ELEMENT and the INPUT VALUE and TICK the ELEMENT AND INPUT VALUE REQUIRED field.
On the processing Information tab - TICK ASSIGN ON ENROLMENT, DISPLAY ON ENROLLMENT and PROCESS EACH PAY PERIOD. Enter PER PAY PERIOD AMOUNT in VALUE PASSED TO PAYROLL and OTHER in COMPENSATION CATEGORY.
Let me know if this works!

Input value given on web page is not getting pickedup in event handler

Hi friends,
I have created one simple page in SE80 with program with flow logic option, in which I would like to show business partner details from BUT000 table with the input of partner number. But the thing is the input value(partner no.)which I am giving on web page is not getting picked up in selection in event handler though I am giving input value it is becoming initial while selecting. What could be the reason?
Below I am mentioning the code which I have written in even handler for OnInputProcessing event.
CASE EVENT_ID.
WHEN 'select'.
NAVIGATION->SET_PARAMETER( 'partner' ).
SELECT * FROM but000 INTO TABLE I_but000 WHERE partner BETWEEN partner AND partner1.
WHEN OTHERS.
ENDCASE.
Thanks in advance,

Text Entry Box--Advanced Actions--Conditional Statement--Double quotes in literal input value

Hello forums,
I'm new to the forums (and Captivate in general), but I'm having a real problem carrying out a tutorial design and I think you may be my only hope. Let me explain what I want to do and the difficulty that I'm having:
I'm an instruction librarian at a university, and I'm designing an interactive tutorial for English 100 students to complete in order to become familiar with how to search the library catalog. What I've done is taken a screenshot of the catalog search page, made it the background of a slide in Captivate (vers. 6), and placed a text entry box over the search bar in the screenshot. The idea is for the students to conduct a simulated search by choosing one of three suggested search string formulations, and depending on the search string they enter, the tutorial will jump to a slide featuring a screenshot of what the actual search results would look like. The idea is to emphasize the use of keywords over full-sentence phrases, and the use of double quotation marks to enclose multi-word search terms.
So I've set the action for the TEB to "Execute Advanced Actions" and then created some IF/THEN statements in the "Advanced Actions" pop-up window (with action type set to 'conditional'). The script is such that if the student enters the first search option (how does sleep affect college students) in the TEB, the tutorial jumps to 1 slide, if they enter the second option (college students AND sleep), featuring a Boolean operator (AND), the tutorial jumps to a 2nd slide, and if they enter the third option ("college students" AND sleep) with the double quotes around "college students" and the Boolean operator, the tutorial should jump to a 3rd slide. This action script works fine for the first two input options, but I can't make it work for the third search option.
I think that it has something to do with the fact that the third input option features double quote marks, and this seems to throw off the script (I tried a quote-less input value for the third IF/THEN just to make sure that it would work jumping to the 3rd slide and it did), and I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to how I can get around this issue. Again, I need it to work so that if the student enters "college students" AND sleep, with the quote marks and the Boolean operator, the tutorial will jump to a slide showing the search results if those search terms were used in a real search of the catalog.
I'd be extremely grateful for any help that anyone here can give me, we've been trying to make our online tutorials more engaging and interactive (and therefore more interesting), and I think this would be a great way to teach students about using quotes in their catalog searches.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Andrew Wilk
College Library
UW-Madison

The tutorial is for a "how to use catalog searching" instruction in an undergraduate library session. We use boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT) to combine search terms, ex. to search for books about the sleeping habits of college students, I would enter "college students AND sleep." Because "college students" is a multi-word phrase to describe one concept, I need to put quotation marks around the phrase to prevent the catalog from searching for the individual words separately, so the most correct search becomes ["college students" AND sleep] with quotation marks around only "college students," a user-typed "AND," and the word "sleep" (no q-marks).
A colleague of mine worked out a pretty cool (if complicated) solution that I'll share if anyone is interested. Since the q-marks where the problem, we've set it up so that the TEB validates the response for the search string with q-marks around "college students." If they enter it correctly, the tutorial jumps to the corresponding slide. The attempt # is set to 1, and if the user fails to enter the validated phrase (they misspell or use one of the other response options) then the TEB is set to run an Advanced Actions Script in which the other two options are scripted in IF/THEN statements that cause, when the term is entered correctly, the tutorial to jump to their corresponding slides. We've created another tab of IF/THEN statements that say that if the response is NOT equal to one of these response options, then the slide restarts (technically the slide "jumps" back to itself and starts over) and the user gets another chance to start the cycle over again.
I know this is confusing (I had a really hard time explaining it in words), so if anyone is interested I could make a Jing video when I have some time.
Thank you for all your suggestions

How do I pass input values from a html page to a jsf page

hi,
In my project,for front view we have used html pages.how can I get input values from that html page into my jsf page.for back end purpose we have used EJB3.0
how can I write jsf managed bean for accessing these entities.we have used session facade design pattern and the IDE is netbeans5.5.
pls,help me,very urgent
thanx in advance

Simplest way is to rewrite html page into jsf page.
You can use session bean in your managed bean like this:
import javax.naming.Context;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
public class ManagedBean {
private Context ctx;
private Object res;
// session bean interface
private Service service;
          public ManagedBean() {
            try{
                 ctx = new InitialContext();
                 res = ctx.lookup("Service");
                 service = (Service) res;
           catch(Exeption e){

How can I run the report for different input values at the same time?

Reports version: Report Builder 6.0.8.13.1
Oracle version: Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.7.0.0
I want to run the same report for different input parameter values and spool each o/p to different file and ftp to a server. For this, as a first step, I am spooling different input values in to a file, reading those values through a loop and calling the report for that input values. Each report run/execution is taking 15 minutes. Total report execution is taking approximately 4 hours (assuming 16 different input values) to complete. So I have to wait 4 hours to see ALL outputs.
I would like to run the report parallel for ALL the input values and I should be able to see the ALL outputs with in 15 or 16 minutes.
In my shell script, I added & symbol at the end of the report call to start/run the job in the background. Due to this the control passed to the next step after the report call. At this place I have an ftp command to send the output file to a different server and it is giving error some thing like o/p file is not available/created yet". This is due to the fact that report writer is NOT yet completely started/initiated or it is NOT completed the spooling.
How can I run the report at the same time for all the input values and save the time?
Thanks in advance.
Kishore.

Increase the number of server engines running right now it seems there is only one engine running ,increase it to 4 or 6
and then atleast 4 or 6 reports will run simultaneously.
For FTPing the output add to your sript to check whether it is locked and if not then only try to ftp .
Also for more better functionality read the document (chapter 15 ) for 10g reports for its new fuinctionality.

How can i pass the Input value to the sql file in the korn shell ??

Hi,
How can i pass the Input value to the sql file in the korn shell ??
I have to pass the 4 different values to the sql file and each time i pass the value it has to generate the txt file for that value like wise it has to generate the 4 files at each run.
can any one help me out.
Raja

Can you please more elaberate., perhaps you should more elaberate.
sqlplus is a program. you start it from the korn shell. when it's finished, processing control returns to the korn shell. the korn shell and sqlplus do not communicate back and forth.
so "spool the output from .sql file to some txt file from k shell, while passing the input parameters to the sql file from korn shell" makes no sense.

Unable to enter Input value for an ICD

How to pass input value to the IN parameter in a function

Hi ,

Out of which 'in_report_parameter_id' value comes thru job processor service 's job request.
The second IN paramter values are hard coded in the function.
I'm not able to understand this.
If the values are hard coded , how to make sure that only the hard coded values are the right ones?
Please anyone could explain to me?

This is not a design I would use, but should work if coded properly. I would probably build a reference cursor query as text and use one open fetch and close.
You have 2 input parameters, in_report_parameter_id and in_which. I could not find where in_report_parameter_id was used in the program, but the value passed in for in_which is being used in IF logic to decide how to open the cursor. After the cursor is open rows are being fetched and eventually the cursor is closed.
The values in_which are compared to are hard-coded. It is the programmer's job to make sure the values listed are the right values and the actions taken are also correct. Your program is assuming that if the first 2 values are not encountered the third one listed is the one you want.
To pass input values to a procedure you merely provide the values as a literal or variable in the call, something like
whatever := get_class_text_str(1,'SELECT');

Error while exporting : ORA-24801: illegal parameter value in OCI lob funct

hello,
I am doing an export on a 10.2.0.4 , solaris machine.
The table i am doing an export has a blob & clob.
During the export I get the error :
EXP-00056: ORACLE error 24801 encountered
ORA-24801: illegal parameter value in OCI lob function
In metalink it was given : Check every parameter in the OCI Lob function call to make sure they
are correct. Offsets should be greater than or equal to one.
Where should I check for that OCI Lob function. Or is there any other alternative to do the export.
Thanks for any help.

I have increased the space on the mount I was doing the export and that solved the problem.
Thanks

Is it possible to add more input values for a payroll element?

Hi All
I have created an element with 1 default input value 'pay value' and another input value '1xx1'. I have linked this to payroll and attached to many employees. Now due to business requirment, I need to add one more input value '2yy2' and also I need to change the formula. Eventhough its a minor change in formula, without a new input value it will not work. I tried to add a new one by datetracking to the element creation date without sucess.
Is it possible to add input values after saving an element?
Regards
Rahman

You can Change the Required Input Value to Not-required
Alter the Sequence of the Input Value to be displayed in the Element Entry Screen
You can Change the Input Value Validation Rule minimum, Maximum, Lookup and Formula
Change your specification of which input values create Database Items. Note, however, you cannot remove Database Items if they are used in any formulas or QuickPaint reports.
You cannot remove existing input values or add new one if you have created any entries for the element
For more details you can refer http://ramesh-oraclehrms.blogspot.com/2007/08/maintaining-element.html

ADF Table filter issue with OR or AND input value

Hi all,
adf:table filterable fields for OR or AND input value not works. Actually One of column is for State and it has "OR" value for -> OREGON State.
and I tried using filterModel and queryListener for table attribute. But I am not getting exact clue where I need to fix for this issue. Any suggestion and help is appreciated greatly.

Something like this might work for the one case:
public void handleQuery(QueryEvent queryEvent){
    // Replace the OR with an equivalent condition
    Map m =
      ((FilterableQueryDescriptor) (queryEvent.getDescriptor())).getFilterCriteria();
    for (Map.Entry entry: (Collection<Map.Entry>) m.entrySet())
      if (entry.getValue() != null &&
          StringUtils.equalsIgnoreCase(entry.getValue().toString(), "OR"))
        entry.setValue("O AND _R");
    // Process The Query
    ELUtils.invokeMethod("#{bindings.VOQuery.processQuery}",
                         QueryEvent.class, queryEvent);
    // Put the OR back
    for (Map.Entry entry: (Collection<Map.Entry>) m.entrySet())
      if (entry.getValue() != null &&
          StringUtils.equalsIgnoreCase(entry.getValue().toString(),
                                       "O AND _R"))
        entry.setValue("OR");
}
