Pass a parameter from a report to a customization form of another report

Hello,
I want to pass a parameter value from a report to the customization form of another report and display it in the text field in the customization form as a default value. I have 2 variables in the customization form and in one of them, I would like to display the default value from a previous report.
Thank you
Jayasree

1. go to the manage component screen of the report
2. open the package body (pl/sql source)
3. search for 'procedure show_parms'
4. scroll down till you find
-- call to parameter form rendering engine
5. copy the procedure call below it
a) you will have to pass <PORTAL_SCHEMA>.wwv_utlglobl.RUN_AS_NORMAL to p_mode
b) remove the parameters p_reference_path, p_redirect_url, p_exec_mode, p_page_url ( or you can pass null to them)
c) 'p_parm_names' will contain your 2 parameters
d) you can pass values to 'p_parm_values' which you want to be displayed in the parameter forms.
6. you can call this procedure from a dynamic page and link the dynamic page to your first report

Passing a parameter from a web application to the sub report.

Hi I am currently passing a parameter from the webpage into the main crystal report. I would like to pass this same parameter to the subreport but when I right click on the subreport from the main report I can find the parameter on the main report but there is nothing to link it to on the subreport (since this window just shows the dataset). I also tried adding a parameter to the subreport but it does not show up in the link window on the (select data in subreport to link to). I am using vs2005 and the crystal reports that comes with this.
Thanks.

Hi, Paul;
There are many samples on our site that show passing parameters to both main reports and subreports. Have a search at

Pass a parameter from webi to Xcelsius

Hi all,
Anybody knows how to pass a parameter from a webi report to Xcelsius via URL?
I need to refresh the Xcelsius data with a parameter coming from the webi report. With Live Office works but only the first time: the data is not being refreshed in Xcelsius everytime I change the parameter in the webi report.
I'm thinking in someting like openDocument.jsp but how do I read this parameter in Xcelsius? Which connection should I use?
Thank you very much,
jon

Hi Peter,
the link provided refers to Xcelsius V4.5.
In Xcelsius 2008 you have to control Flash Vars in the Data Manager.
Go to the Data Manager, Add the Flash-Var Connection Type, Select CSV-FlashVar and define a name and a range.
But i am not sure if Xcelsius Engage can handle FlashVars, because i am only working with Enterprise.
Please take a look at your manual.
For sure there are other ways to import data during runtime. Take a Look at the Connections provided by Data Manager. (e.g. QaaWS, SSRS, LiveOffice, Webservices, ...)
Also take a look at the link below. It might be another nice option for "pseudo" data connectivity

Passing a parameter from one class to another class in the same package

Hi.
I am trying to pass a parameter from one class to another class with in a package.And i am Getting the variable as null every time.In the code there is two classes.
i. BugWatcherAction.java
ii.BugWatcherRefreshAction.Java.
We have implemented caching in the front-end level.But according to the business logic we need to clear the cache and again have to access the database after some actions are happened.There are another class file called BugwatcherPortletContent.java.
So, we are dealing with three java files.The database interaction is taken care by the portletContent.java file.Below I am giving the code for the perticular function in the bugwatcherPortletContent.java:
==============================================================
public Object loadContent() throws Exception {
Hashtable htStore = new Hashtable();
JetspeedRunData rundata = this.getInputData();
String pId = this.getPorletId();
PortalLogger.logDebug(" in the portlet content: "+pId);
pId1=pId;//done by sraha
htStore.put("PortletId", pId);
htStore.put("BW_HOME_URL",CommonUtil.getMessage("BW.Home.Url"));
htStore.put("BW_BUGVIEW_URL",CommonUtil.getMessage("BW.BugView.Url"));
HttpServletRequest request = rundata.getRequest();
PortalLogger.logDebug(
"BugWatcherPortletContent:: build normal context");
HttpSession session = null;
int bugProfileId = 0;
Hashtable bugProfiles = null;
Hashtable bugData = null;
boolean fetchProfiles = false;
try {
session = request.getSession(true);
// Attempting to get the profiles from the session.
//If the profiles are not present in the session, then they would have to be
// obtained from the database.
bugProfiles = (Hashtable) session.getAttribute("Profiles");
//Getting the selected bug profile id.
String bugProfileIdObj = request.getParameter("bugProfile" + pId);
// Getting the logged in user
String userId = request.getRemoteUser();
if (bugProfiles == null) {
fetchProfiles = true;
if (bugProfileIdObj == null) {
// setting the bugprofile id as -1 indicates "all profiles" is selected
bugProfileIdObj =(String) session.getAttribute("bugProfileId" + pId);
if (bugProfileIdObj == null) {
bugProfileId = -1;
else {
bugProfileId = Integer.parseInt(bugProfileIdObj);
else {
bugProfileId = Integer.parseInt(bugProfileIdObj);
session.setAttribute(
("bugProfileId" + pId),
Integer.toString(bugProfileId));
//fetching the bug list
bugData =BugWatcherAPI.getbugList(userId, bugProfileId, fetchProfiles);
PortalLogger.logDebug("BugWatcherPortletContent:: got bug data");
if (bugData != null) {
Hashtable htProfiles = (Hashtable) bugData.get("Profiles");
} else {
htStore.put("NoProfiles", "Y");
} catch (CodedPortalException e) {
htStore.put("Error", CommonUtil.getErrMessage(e.getMessage()));
PortalLogger.logException
("BugWatcherPortletContent:: CodedPortalException!!",e);
} catch (Exception e) {
PortalLogger.logException(
"BugWatcherPortletContent::Generic Exception!!",e);
htStore.put(     "Error",CommonUtil.getErrMessage(ErrorConstantsI.GET_BUGLIST_FAILED));
if (fetchProfiles) {
bugProfiles = (Hashtable) bugData.get("Profiles");
session.setAttribute("Profiles", bugProfiles);
// putting the stuff in the context
htStore.put("Profiles", bugProfiles);
htStore.put("SelectedProfile", new Integer(bugProfileId));
htStore.put("bugs", (ArrayList) bugData.get("Bugs"));
return htStore;
=============================================================
And I am trying to call this function as it can capable of fetching the data from the database by "getbugProfiles".
In the new class bugWatcherRefreshAction.java I have coded a part of code which actually clears the caching.Below I am giving the required part of the code:
=============================================================
public void doPerform(RunData rundata, Context context,String str) throws Exception {
JetspeedRunData data = (JetspeedRunData) rundata;
HttpServletRequest request = null;
//PortletConfig pc = portlet.getPortletConfig();
//String userId = request.getRemoteUser();
/*String userId = ((JetspeedUser)rundata.getUser()).getUserName();//sraha on 1/4/05
String pId = request.getParameter("PortletId");
PortalLogger.logDebug("just after pId " +pId); */
//Calling the variable holding the value of portlet id from BugWatcherAction.java
//We are getting the portlet id here , through a variable from BugWatcherAction.java
/*BugWatcherPortletContent bgAct = new BugWatcherPortletContent();
String portletID = bgAct.pId1;
PortalLogger.logDebug("got the portlet ID in bugwatcherRefreshAction:---sraha"+portletID);*/
// updating the bug groups
Hashtable result = new Hashtable();
try {
request = data.getRequest();
String userId = ((JetspeedUser)data.getUser()).getUserName();//sraha on 1/4/05
//String pId = (String)request.getParameter("portletId");
//String pId = pc.getPorletId();
PortalLogger.logDebug("just after pId " +pId);
PortalLogger.logDebug("after getting the pId-----sraha");
result =BugWatcherAPI.getbugList(profileId, userId);
PortalLogger.logDebug("select the new bug groups:: select is done ");
context.put("SelectedbugGroups", profileId);
//start clearing the cache
ContentCacheContext cacheContext = getCacheContext(rundata);
PortalLogger.logDebug("listBugWatcher Caching - removing markup content - before removecontent");
// remove the markup content from cache.
PortletContentCache.removeContent(cacheContext);
PortalLogger.logDebug("listBugWatcher Caching-removing markup content - after removecontent");
//remove the backend content from cache
CacheablePortletData pdata =(CacheablePortletData) PortletCache.getCacheable(PortletCacheHelper.getUserHandle(((JetspeedUser)data.getUser()).getUserName()));
PortalLogger.logDebug("listBugWatcher Caching User: " +((JetspeedUser)data.getUser()).getUserName());

PortalLogger.logDebug("listBugWatcher Caching -finish calling the remove content code");
//end clearing the cache
// after clearing the caching calling the data from the database taking a fn from the portletContent.java
PortalLogger.logDebug("after clearing cache---sraha");
BugWatcherPortletContent bugwatchportcont = new BugWatcherPortletContent();
Hashtable httable= new Hashtable();
httable=(Hashtable)bugwatchportcont.loadContent();
PortalLogger.logDebug("after making the type casting-----sraha");
Set storeKeySet = httable.keySet();
Iterator itr = storeKeySet.iterator();
while (itr.hasNext()) {
String paramName = (String) itr.next();
context.put(paramName, httable.get(paramName));
PortalLogger.logDebug("after calling the databs data from hashtable---sraha");
} catch (CodedPortalException e) {
PortalLogger.logException("bugwatcherRefreshAction:: Exception- ",e);
context.put("Error", CommonUtil.getErrMessage(e.getMessage()));
catch (Exception e) {
PortalLogger.logException("bugwatcherRefreshAction:: Exception- ",e);
context.put(     "Error",CommonUtil.getErrMessage(ErrorConstantsI.EXCEPTION_CODE));
try {
((JetspeedRunData) data).setCustomized(null);
if (((JetspeedRunData) data).getCustomized() == null)
ActionLoader.getInstance().exec(data,"controls.EndCustomize");
catch (Exception e)
PortalLogger.logException("bugwatcherRefreshAction", e);
===============================================================
In the bugwatcher Action there is another function called PostLoadContent.java
here though i have found the portlet Id but unable to fetch that in the bugWatcherRefreshAction.java . I am also giving the code of that function under the bugWatcherAction.Java
================================================
// Get the PortletData object from intermediate store.
CacheablePortletData pdata =(CacheablePortletData) PortletCache.getCacheable(PortletCacheHelper.getUserHandle(
//rundata.getRequest().getRemoteUser()));
((JetspeedUser)rundata.getUser()).getUserName()));
pId1 = (String)portlet.getID();
PortalLogger.logDebug("in the bugwatcher action:"+pId1);
try {
Hashtable htStore = null;
// if PortletData is available in store, get current portlet's data from it.
if (pdata != null) {
htStore =(Hashtable) pdata.getObject(     PortletCacheHelper.getUserPortletHandle(
((JetspeedUser)rundata.getUser()).getUserName(),portlet.getID()));
//Loop through the hashtable and put its elements in context
Set storeKeySet = htStore.keySet();
Iterator itr = storeKeySet.iterator();
while (itr.hasNext()) {
String paramName = (String) itr.next();
context.put(paramName, htStore.get(paramName));
bugwatcherRefreshAction bRefAc = new bugwatcherRefreshAction();
bRefAc.doPerform(pdata,context,pId1);
=============================================================
So this is the total scenario for the fetching the data , after clearing the cache and display that in the portal.I am unable to do that.Presently it is still fetching the data from the cache and it is not going to the database.Even the portlet Id is returning as null.
I am unable to implement that thing.
If you have any insight about this thing, that would be great .As it is very urgent a promt response will highly appreciated.Please send me any pointers or any issues for this I am unable to do that.
Please let me know as early as possible.
Thanks and regards,
Santanu Raha.

Have you run it in a debugger? That will show you exactly what is happening and why.

Passing a parameter from one form to another

Hi
I'm trying to pass a parameter from one form to another. I've read lots of postings about this, and I have succeeded in calling the second form using code behind one of the existing Portal buttons (insert). Here is the code:
DECLARE
pro_id NUMBER;
pro_link VARCHAR2(1200);
BEGIN
pro_id := p_session.get_value_as_number(
p_block_name => 'DEFAULT',
p_attribute_name => 'A_PRO_ID');
pro_link := portal30.wwv_user_utilities.get_url(
'CINTRA_APP.PRO_LINK_1',
'WKG_PRO_ID',pro_id,
'_WKG_PRO_ID_cond','=');
PORTAL30.wwa_app_module.set_target(pro_link,'CALL');
END;
Trouble is, the parameter does not get passed. This could be because:
the field I'm trying to populate is based on an LOV ?
the target form is not set up to receive parameters? (I read this somewhere, but how do you do it?)
Thanks
Manfred

How to pass a parameter from one action1 in block1 to action2 in block2.

Dear Experts,
How to pass a parameter from one action1 in block1 to action2 in block2.
My Process Structure is as follows..
       Process
            Sequential Block
                 Action 1
                 Parallel Dynamic Block
                         Sequential Sub Block
                         Action 2.
while i am trying to execute the action1 the following error is shown below:
Cannot complete action: The activity could not be read.
Please suggest me how to do?
Regards,
Rajesh N

Hello Rajesh!
I think you are talk about the mapping parameters of your process.
This case in design time of your workflow, you have the vision of your blocks and actions, you have on action 1 the output parameter and you have the action 2 an input parameter.
So you have that make a group mapping on your process, map in this group the action1 outpu parameter with the action2 input parameter.

Pass a parameter from one ASP portlet to another ASP portlet

We are trying to pass a parameter from one ASP portlet to one or more other ASP portlets.
We are using PDK-URL Services and have created a provider.xml for each of the ASPs and the ASPs work as normal within the portlets created.
We are now trying to use PDK-URL Services to pass parameters to a portlet. As a first step we set up a portlet which displayed an ASP, this ASP (and the portlet) expected a parameter. If the parameter value is left blank the Portlet displays a default page (not the ASP page) for passing in the parameter i.e. a text box and a submit button. If the parameter is entered and submitted the ASP page returns and the results of the query are based on the parameter typed in.
As the next step what we are now trying to do is pass a parameter from one ASP portlet to another.
The Documentation says that there are two types of parameters Qualified where Parameters will be passed only to the initiating portlet i.e., portlet which contains them and Unqualified where all portlets will be affected by the parameter sent by any portlet.
Very little information was available on this, apart from the one liner explanation of each (above).
When we tested the above, using the PDK sample ("ParamCustomizationPortlet") portlets it doesn't appear to be doing anything in particular.
Any ideas on the best approach to passing parameters from one ASP portlet to another?
Thanks for your time.

We can visualize Qualified and Unqualified parameters only when there are multiple portlet instances in a single page. For example, add two instances of ASP portlet you have created, and submit from one portlet. You can see the other portlet also receiving this parameter, provided you are using unqualified parameters.
Thanks,
Amjad.

Passing date parameter from forms to report

Hi,
I'm using forms and reports 6i.
I want to pass one date parameter from forms to reports.
Using
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'P_FROM_DATE',TEXT_PARAMETER,:FROM_DT);
giving me error REP-0091- Invalid value for parameter 'P_FROM_DATE'
This i think is because report expects date and here it is converted as varchar.
Please help

Hi Divya,
Even I use this kind of statement
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'P_FROM_DATE',TEXT_PARAMETER,:FROM_DT);and works fine for me.
This i think is because report expects date and here it is converted as varchar
Correct.
Open the report in the builder and under Data Model -> User Parameters, Go to the Property Inspector of P_FROM_DATE. Under Parameter, set Datatype as Character instead of Date.
Hope this should work. and tell me if it works(coz it wokred for me).

Pass output parameter from mapping to external process in a Process Flow

In Process flow, how do we pass an Output parameter from a mapping (generated by a post mapping operator) into an external process (shell script)?
I have a mapping that generates an output parameter and I would like to pass this parameter to an external process (a shell script) with a process flow. Is this possible?

Hi Norman,
Unfortunately in the current release, you cannot do this. What you can do, is store the value into a table and read it in the external process, or write it into a file and read it from there. The next release will support passing output parameters from one activity to the next.
Thanks,
Mark.

Pass data parameter from URL to Forms

Hi
Is it possible to pass a data parameter from asp to Forms?.
In my asp I have a url to call a form (eg. http://servername:port/forms90/f90servlet/form=testform.fmx). In my testform.fmx I accept 'account no' as a parameter for querying the records. Since I am calling this form from asp, I already have the account no in my asp. I would like to pass this account no to the form automatically.
Is it possible to pass this data parameter from url to forms?.
If possible, what changes to be made in the form. Please help.
sreekumar

Create a parameter in your form, there's a node for it in the Navigator window. Imagine it is called myParam.
Pass it on the URL like this:
http://host/forms90/f90servlet?config=myApp&otherParams=myParam=somevalue

How to pass date parameter from one page to other in BSP application

Hello gurus,
In my BSP application i have taken an input field and made its type "date" and its value also of type date and have set showhelp .
Now once a particular date is given as an input i want to pass its value to next page. And in next page i have to fire a query based on the date entered in previous page...
Now my prb is that my date value is not getting passed to the next page.
I have used
navigation->set_parameter( name = 'BEGDA' value = BEGDA ).
to pass date parameter.....still parameter is not getting passed.
plz help me with this.....
thankx.....

Hi Eddy,
By truncation i mean the entire date becomes 10 char including the ' . ' eg(06.12.2006).
so with begda being 8chars it takes my date as 06.12.200
as a result my query is not getting executed.
now i have tried to use a FM 'CONVERT_DATE_TO_INTERN_FORMAT'.
in my 1st page but still in 2nd page its giving me following error.
<b>The data that was read could not be written to the specified target field during a SELECT access. Either the conversion is not supported for the type of the target field, or the target field is too short to accept the value, or the data is not in the appropriateformat for the target field.
</b>
