Map the parameter with dynamic value.

Hi,
can be map our variable with some dynamic values??
like suppose I have a variable in which I want to fill current value every time like current date or current time to my variable.
is there any way to customize the variable in this way?
thnx
USoni

In OFT you can generate user variables by:
Edit -> Databank Wizard -> Add Variable; then select Internal - Specify Expression as the type then you can enter Date() in the expression text field, to call the system date or Time() to call the system time.
Unfortunately since the removal of VBA that is all OFT can do
In OpenScript however you can use Java code view to substitute the parameter value with any Java expression, or for the date you can change the parameter value for *{{@today(MM/dd/yyyy)}}* which will return the date with the format MM/dd/yyyy, calling *{{@today(dd/mm/yyyy)}}* would return the current date with the format dd/mm/yyyy etc ...
There is a list of pre-build functions on the help files, and if you need something that is not there and have not Java skills you can post the specific question here and I'm sure someone will post the code.

Parameter with Dynamic prompt - bug encountered

I am using CRD XI release 2 (SP2) against an Oracle 10 release 2 database
I have a report fully working with a static parameter
1. But I have an issue when trying to introduce a parameter with dynamic prompts
I have a data source (PointofSale retrieving data from a database view)
I am trying to have the newPointOfSale parameter to prompt the user for values taken out of the PointOfSale source.
I set up the parameter as indicated by the Crystal RD210 Guide.
But when I run the report I am prompted for Server Name(greyed out)/user name/password(something I have never had to do for this report until introducing the dynamic parameter)
In doubt I enter these of the database user I am using as a source for this report
I get a strange error message telling me there is a problem with another datasource on the report.
'Prompting failed with the following error message: 'List of Values failure: fail to get values. [Cause of erro: The table 'DLEX_REPORT.DLEX_REPORT_RETRIEVE.AIRLEGSUMMARY_SUM' could noyt be found. UNKNOWN.RPT]'.
Error source: prompt.ddl Error code 0x8004380D
There seem to be bug with parameters and dynamic list of values in Crystal as other people seem to encounter similar issue
Is there a fix or a workaround?
2. Also I believe this forum allows to escalate bugs with SAP/business objects. Does anyone know how to do this? As this is very obviously a bug....
Thanks
Philippe

I am not sure whether this will solve your problem since you are using a different implementation of Crystal Reports , but I've received the same error using CR XI Developer Release 2 in conjunction with the Crystal Reports Server XI Release 2. My solution was to go into the Business View Manager application and fix the Data Connection object associated with the problematic Dynamic prompt by supplying a user name and password for the data connection object and setting the "Runtime Prompt Mode" property to "Never Prompt". For some dumb reason, the Crystal Reports client will publish the data connection object to the Business Views database without any login credentials associated with it. So after creating such a prompt in a report, you have perform this extra step before running the report the first time. The good news is that if you reference this dynamic prompt in other reports, it will work - so you only need to fix it when it is first created.

WBS Hierarchy Logic build up with dynamic values

Hello ABAP Crew.
I currently using BAPI_PROJECT_MAINTAIN, and I have to pass I_WBS_HIERARCHIE_TABLE with the hierarchy table made by me. Does anyone have a logic on how to do this from values within a table?
Here are the values coming from a proxy:
111520
111520-111234
111520-111234-19
111520-111234-19-1
111520-111234-19-2
111520-111234-20-1
111520-111234-20-4
The purpose is to place this into the table of I_WBS_HIERARCHIE_TABLE in the UP DOWN LEFT RIGHT format.
Now the problem is, the list of values received will always be different.
Thanks.

Hi Jotorres,
Did you get a response for this question about WBS hierarchy logic build up with dynamic values? I have been trying to build it up myself, but its getting increasingly difficult. I wanted to know how you resolved this issue?
Thanks a dozen !

Need to create OAF new Button Item with Destination URI with dynamic value

Would like to add a personalization to a OAF page, with adding a new button Item. Behind the button item, one of the properties we would like to set is Destination URI, and we would like to have this with a dynamic value from the Page we are on.
Let's say we are on the OAF page for customers. One of the fields is Customer Account Number. This is one of the Attributes from the View Object that the page is built on. So we want to take a value from an Attribute, and use this in the Destination URI value. That is what I mean by dynamic. It depends on what record from the database we are looking at on the OAF page.
In this case it is View Object is 'HzPuiCrUpCustActVO' and the Attribute is 'AccountNumber'
Does that make sense? can we reference an View Attribute value in the Destination URI? How can this be done?
Thanks!

Kristofer,
This does make it clearer, as far as using the personalization property to reach another OAF page.
I would like to build a custom page for the destination, but I did not want to necessarily the page to be another OAF/jsp page.
One thing we might want to do is build an APEX page. so this Destination URI might have to start with something like http://oraserver.mycompany.com:7779/pls/apex/f?p=
Another option we might want to use is to just have the destination resolve to a custom URL that includes a parameter value like http://mycompany.com/1905 where 1905 is the account number from the Customer Account OAF page.
Any ideas, or is this even possible?

Parameter with Null values

Hi. I have a simple ssrs report with a parameter which is linked to a dataset. The parameter is a single selection dropdown list.
The records in the database are Cars, with a column for Car Color. My drop down list contains a distinct set of colors based on the existing records.
However - some Cars do not have a color set, they are Null. How do I configure my report to show a drop down list of colors and a Null/Not set option which would return records which have a Car Colour of Null?
Thanks

Make the query for parameter as
SELECT 'Not Set' AS value,'Not Set' AS Label,0 AS Ord
UNION ALL
SELECT CarColor,CarColor,1
FROM carTable
ORDER BY Ord
Then use value as value of parameter and Label for prompt.
In the query behind for dataset used by report make where condition like
WHERE COALESCE(CarColor,'Not Set') = @ParameterName
AND ...
Please Mark This As Answer if it helps to solve the issue Visakh ---------------------------- http://visakhm.blogspot.com/ https://www.facebook.com/VmBlogs

[Forum FAQ]How do I add a search feature in the parameter with long drop down list?

Introduction
There is a scenario that thousands of values in the drop-down of a parameter. Scrolling through the large drop down list is slow and cumbersome. Is there a way that we add a search feature in the report, so that it can filter down the values in the drop
down list to a smaller list of values?
Solution
To achieve this requirement, we can add a parameter with multiple keywords ahead, then all of available values which are begin with the keyword will display in the parameter list. In this scenario, we can create cascading parameters. One is a keyword parameter,
and the other parameter is based on the keyword to display the available values.
In order to enable the user to type multiple keywords, we can use the query below to create a split function which takes the list and the de-limiter as input parameters and splits all the values in the database:
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[SplitParameterValues] (@InputString NVARCHAR(max), @SplitChar VARCHAR(5))
RETURNS @ValuesList TABLE
param NVARCHAR(255)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @ListValue NVARCHAR(max)
SET @InputString = @InputString + @SplitChar
WHILE @InputString!= @SplitChar
BEGIN
SELECT @ListValue = SUBSTRING(@InputString , 1, (CHARINDEX(@SplitChar, @InputString)-1))
IF (CHARINDEX(@SplitChar, @InputString) + len(@SplitChar))>(LEN(@InputString))
BEGIN
SET @InputString=@SplitChar
END
ELSE
BEGIN
SELECT @InputString = SUBSTRING(@InputString, (CHARINDEX(@SplitChar, @InputString) + len(@SplitChar)) , LEN(@InputString)-(CHARINDEX(@SplitChar, @InputString)+ len(@SplitChar)-1) )
END
INSERT INTO @ValuesList VALUES( @ListValue)
END
RETURN
END
Use the query below create a stored procedure to return all available values for Account parameter:
create PROCEDURE sp (@keyword nvarchar(50))
AS
SELECT AccountDescription
FROM DimAccount d
inner join (SELECT [param] FROM SplitParameterValues (@keyword,',')) s on d.AccountDescription like (s.[param]+'%')
In Report Designer, select Stored Procedure as the Query type for DataSet1, then select or type sp in the drop-down list as below:
By default, there is a parameter named keyword in the Parameters pane.
Add a multi-value parameter named Account in the report, then select “Get values from a query” option for Available Values as below:

Hmmm. This didn't work. I even re-booted, and Firefox still doesn't show the search engine.
It was actually an update to an earlier engine, and I foolishly removed the old version rather than just updating it.
Is there anything elsewhere (eg. the registry) that might be preventing this?

Accessing DefaultValues for parameters with dynamic values

We have a custom user interface we place in front of all Crystal Reports (to maintain look&feel) that reads the parameters from the report and dynamically generates controls for user input. The only time this doesn't work is for parameters that have dynamically generated default values. If there is a static list of default values then we get the list from the DefaultValues collection; but if the list is dynamic then the collection is empty.
Is there a way to force this collection to be populated, or alternatively, a way to find out what SQL query is being used to populate the parameter list?

I think you may be out of luck. Dynamic cascading parameters (DCPs) are a relatively late addition to the Crystal Reports product line, and the Crystal Reports SDKs haven't caught up to that yet. Currently we don't have SDK access to dynamic value collections, including the SQL queries made for them. The most we can do at the moment is determine whether the parameter field uses dynamic or static values.

Unit test with Dynamic Value Query

Hi,
I am planing a function which should return a table name for a given ROWID. The ROWID will be selected from a view. Now I am trying to setup a unit test which consists of Startup and Teardown Process as well as a Dynamic Value Query. During Startup Process one dataset is inserted in a table which is part of a view definition. The dataset should be selected during Dynamic Value Query. However I am getting the following error message: Unable to run the test because no rows were returned by the dynamic query. Is there the possibility that within a Dynamic Value Query I can't make use of datasets which where inserted by a Startup Process? I am asking because the selection outside the unit testing framework supplies the dataset as expected.

Dynamic SQL is very tricky. Since you can get the data outside your application extract and test the dynamic SQL as it is generated. When working with dynamic SQL I find it useful to first generate the SQL text as a string and then if necessary store it in a table (CLOB type) for later reference. Because of the uncertainty of obtaining bind variable values later I prefer to hard-code such values into dynamic SQL - possibly slightly less efficient for Oracle at run time but a lot easier to work with when debugging and tuning (again, apart from the built-in inefficiency of not using bind variables) I usually find the overhead of the hard-coded values not too bad and the ability to know the data values at a glance useful. I also find it useful to write dynamic SQL in such a way so that the resulting statement can be pasted in to any normal SQL tool (SQL*PLUS, SQL*Developer) and run without any editing.
There may be some quirk in the generated dynamic SQL preventing it from finding anything.
Good luck.

Pick the file with dynamic name

Dear All
My scenario is file to idoc.
legacy system generates file with a file name as current date.txt which keeps on changing
eg:   on 9th july file name is 09072009.txt and
       on 10thjuly filename would be 10072009.txt
How do i pick such file and process it?
What should be the File Name in the sender communication channel?
Please help me in resolving this issue
Thanks
Bhasker

Hello Baskar Raj,
    Your requierement can be acheived by using the combination of UDF and ASMA(AdapterSpecifieMessageAttriburrtes) which helps us greatly in meeting dynamic filename rquirements.
1.You have to enable either FIlename,Time stamp or all the he ASMA in the sender side communication channel .
2.Write the UDF that gets the file name (CURRENT DATE.txt)during runtime that is available from enabling ASMA in sender communication channel .
3.change it to the name u want to modify (Replace with the new file name by getting time stamp from the ASMA attributes.
4. Map the UDF output to any of the target nodes(can be messagetype node MT_ur msg type name).
5.Enable ASMA on the target side also in that chek same file name.
Code to be writen in UDF is mentioned by sunilchandra in the below thread u jus need to avoid filename in that and use only date format it will acheive ur requrement.
Re: Regarding Target File name
Thanks,
Ram.

Input parameter with default value, in OWB 10r2

-I have a flow that load data from a determinate date, that date is a parameter. This flow is controled to be execute diary by a database job, And takes the parameter as sysdate.
But I want that a user can set an determined date as input and override the default. (sysdate)
I created a parameter in the START element , and set
value as: TO_CHAR(sysdate,'dd-mm-yyyy'))
The problem is that when the job execute the flow, an oracle error appear:
ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected ORA-02063: preceding line from FAMISANA@SOU_SEI_LOCATION1
When I execute the flow and set a parameter input any date (21/07/2001) , thats works.
So, how can I set the input parameter for have default a sysdate ?
So thanks

value as: TO_CHAR(sysdate,'dd-mm-yyyy'))You have created parameter as date then why you are converting it into char.
and you can check the date format for you database also.

Problem, change the language with dynamic text

I am looking for a way to change simply the language of my flash animation
I work with flash cs4
of course I got Mylocale.as:
import mx.lang.Locale;
class MyLocale extends mx.lang.Locale {
static function start():Void {
var langCode:String = xmlLang;
currentXMLMapIndex = 0;
xmlDoc.load(xmlMap[langCode][0]);
static function setXMLLang(langCode:String):Void {
xmlLang = langCode;
and different xml files in the same folder than my swf file
in string , I ticked : "replace strings automatically during the execution"
with a default language (I am wondering if the problem is not from there)
if I tick: "replace strings manually using the scene language " or "replace strings via actionscript"
my code does not work.
then I kept: "replace strings automatically during the execution"
in my flash animation I have several scenes (pages)
p1, p2, p3, p4
in p1
I created a language bar
then 2 layers inside
Layer--action:
langListener = new Object();
langListener.change = function(eventObj) {
var target = eventObj.target;
var newLang = target.selectedItem.data;
MyLocale.setXMLLang(newLang);
MyLocale.start();
lang_cb.addEventListener("change", langListener);
// Force Japanese
lang_cb.selectedIndex = 1;
lang_cb.dispatchEvent({type:"change"});
Layer--language ex Fr:
// Forces combobox to have the correct value
on (release) {
var component = _parent.lang_cb;
for (var i=0; i< component.length; i++) {
var item = component.getItemAt(i);
if (item.data == "fr") {
component.setSelectedIndex(i);
component.dispatchEvent({type:"change"});
break;
ex Ja :
// Forces combobox to have the correct value
on (release) {
var component = _parent.lang_cb;
for (var i=0; i< component.length; i++) {
var item = component.getItemAt(i);
if (item.data == "ja") {
component.setSelectedIndex(i);
component.dispatchEvent({type:"change"});
break;
When I change the language in p1 , the language is also modified in p2, p3 and p4
however , after a navigation in p2, p3 and p4 , once I come back in p1 , the default language is back automatically although I did not touch the language bar!!
I don't know how to solve the problem
to my mind , the script reset itself each time I come back on p1
is there a way to keep the saved settings even when I am back on p1 until I modify manually again the language bar
thanks a lot

OPTIONAL PARAMETER WITH NO VALUE SELECTED

I have an optional parameter and I want to place the selected value in the Page Header. Since the selected value is a number, I want to give it a name. The problem I am having is when I don't select a value, my naming forumula doesn't work. I tried the HasValue function, but I don't think I'm using it properly.
// This did not work
IF {?SUPPLIER}= 10001 THEN "NESTLE PRODUCTS ONLY" ELSE
IF {?SUPPLIER}= 10005 THEN "UNILEVER PRODUCTS ONLY" ELSE
"ALL PRODUCTS"
// This did not work
If (not hasvalue){?SUPPLIER} then "ALL PRODUCTS" ELSE
IF {?SUPPLIER}= 10001 THEN "NESTLE PRODUCTS ONLY" ELSE
IF {?SUPPLIER}= 10005 THEN "UNILEVER PRODUCTS ONLY" ELSE
"NESTLE AND UNILEVER PRODUCTS ONLY"
Got any suggestions?

Hi,
Well if you select multiple values in a parameter and drag the parameter or the formula containing the parameter, then it would always display the first selected value.
Here's a dirty way:
If NOT(HasValue({?SUPPLIER})) then "ALL PRODUCTS" ELSE IF
ubound({?SUPPLIER}) = 1 then
        IF {?SUPPLIER}= 10001 THEN "NESTLE PRODUCTS ONLY" ELSE
        IF {?SUPPLIER}= 10005 THEN "UNILEVER PRODUCTS ONLY" ELSE
        "NESTLE AND UNILEVER PRODUCTS ONLY"
ELSE IF
ubound({?SUPPLIER}) = 2 then
"NESTLE AND UNILEVER PRODUCTS ONLY"
Let me know how this goes!

How to map the method action return value directly into screen using variables?

Hi,
My JDev version is 11.1.1.6.3.
I have a 'MethodAction' defined in PageDef file, that goes to model layer and return String value. As this needs to be executed during initializing of pageDef, I have also added an 'InvokeAction' for that.
<executables>
           <invokeAction id="invokeSayHelloId" Refresh="ifNeeded"
                                Binds="sayHello"/>
           <variableIterator id="variables">
                <variable Name="Name" Type="java.lang.String"/>
           </variableIterator>
</executables>
<bindings>
          <methodAction id="sayHello" InstanceName="HrAMDataControl.dataProvider"
                                 DataControl="HrAMDataControl" RequiresUpdateModel="true"
                                 Action="invokeMethod" MethodName="sayHello"
                                 IsViewObjectMethod="false"
                                 ReturnName="data.HrAMDataControl.methodResults.sayHello_HrAMDataControl_dataProvider_sayHello_result">
                                    <NamedData NDName="pName" NDValue="Michael John" NDType="java.lang.String"/>
         </methodAction>
</bindings?
Requirement:
I want to map the return value of this method action directly into screen by making use of PageDef variables.
Question:
I. I need to know how to map this return value direcly as exprssion against PageDef variable.
2. If Question 1 is achievable, assuming the method action returls List instead of String (I know well it returns 2 items), can I map the 1st Item against Variable 1 and 2nd Item against Variable 2 directly?
Thanks in Advance.
Ragu

Thanks Frank, but If I directly map the MethodAction's result to UI, there are chances where it might get executed whenever I refresh the UIComponent (UIComponent to which the methodAction result is mapped. Isn't so??). Instead, If I invoke the MethodAction using InvokeAction, I can get the control on when it should get invoked (using RefreshCondition). If I assign the variable to UIComponent (Assume I've mapped the method action result to variable using expression), refreshing of UIComponent will not cause any performance issue I feel.
Correct me If I am wrong.

REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY - updating the database with new values

Hi,
I am using the function module 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY' to display records. I have managed to open a field for input/edit mode. Once this data has been changed , where will this data be? I have checked the internal table - no joy. I need to use this new/changed data to update the database with the new values.
Thanks,
Leanne

Hi,
The data is stored in table tab. After the changes the data does not reflect in table tab. Where can I get the data so that I can update my database?
I have coded the process as follows:
    when '&SUSPEND'.
      loop at tab
        where box = 'X'.
          update zzzz
            set status       = 'SP'
      endloop.

How to replace part of column name with dynamic value

I have the following construction in an update transaction:
$upd_blg_user_usr->addColumn("report_1_user", "NUMERIC_TYPE", "VALUE", "{rsCatReport.id_report}");
The dynamic value, {rsCatReport.id_report}, gets a url variable.
I want this variable to replace the "1" in the column name "report_1_user". Something like this:
$upd_blg_user_usr->addColumn("report_{rsCatReport.id_report}_user", "NUMERIC_TYPE", "VALUE", "{rsCatReport.id_report}");
That construction, however, does not work. Prevents the page from loading. I've tried different constructions but have not hit one one that works.
First, I'm not sure anything will work and second, if some different construction will work, I don't know what it is.
Can anyone answer these questions. Thanks in advance for your help.

What? Are you some kind of genius?
Yes that works perfectly. Thanks as always!
Here's the rationale. The same basic form appears on many different pages. The only difference among the forms is the outcome of submitting the form. The form on different pages takes you to a different download page and a database column is marked to signify that the user downloaded that form. For instance:
report_1_usr
report_2_usr
report_3_usr
And so forth...
Up to now each form has had to include the url variable so the submit would take the user to the right download page and it has had to include a unique reference to the correct database column.
Now I can echo or insert that url variable all over the place, including the reference to the column name in the transaction, so I can use a single instance of the form and include it on all pages.
Thanks for helping me figure out the last step.

Map the parameter with dynamic value.
