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

Passing multi-value parameter from BIEE dashboard to BIP report

It is possibile passing multi-value parameter from BIEE dashboard prompt to BI Publisher integrated report? (BIP report has a DB data source (not a answers))
Thank you
R.

Hi Rajkm,
In order to pass a multi-value parameter through the Reporting Services Web services, you need to define the same numbers of ParameterValue objects as the number of the values of the multi-value parameter being past into the report. The Name property
of these ParameterValue objects must be specified same to the parameter name.
I found a good FAQ article for this scenario:
How do I pass a multi-value parameter into a report with Reporting Services Web service API?:

Passing date parameter from prompt

Hi experts
I am getting some problem while passing date from a dashboard prompt.
In RPD i have changed the date column properties as DATE only so that i will get the DATE part of the data not the time stamp.
Now in the dashboard prompt i added a prompt for the date column.
I initialized the date prompt with a server variable of sysdate
when i am running the dashboard i am getting default value in the prompt(04/15/2011)
when i am changing the date it is selected as(04/15/2011)
but when i am clicking the 'Go' button the date is converting to 2011-04-15 00:00:00 due to which my report is not running and i am getting error as
View Display Error
A date value was expected (received "2011-04-15 00:00:00").
Error Details
Error Codes: QABPH2PO
can anyone help me to pass only date part
thanks in advance

Hi J / Srikanth
Sorry to restart the thread again.
As we discussed i have downloaded the patch and applied to my windows 32 bit machine.
But now when i run the report the report is running only for the default value(Server Variable) which is specified to the prompt. when i change the date there is no effect to the report.
When i drill down to the report i found that the date column(is prompted) is changed to teh server variable name which is might be the cause.
any input on this???

Passing parameter to a Dashboard prompt

Hi,
In this case i cant pass the number value to the target report.
P4=eq&P5="IsyeriTanimlari"."DWH_ISYERI_KOD"&P6="Isyeri"."IsyeriKodu"
Also when i use
P9='||CAST("Time"."GUN" AS char)||' when i right some more parameter after this cast it cant take the parameters that ones put this cast one:?
''||'Kampanya'||'<a>'

Hi Tani,
Just to make sure, you're passing a parameter to a Dashboard and not Answers right?
Here's the syntax I've had success with:
http://localhost:9704/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard&Action=Navigate&PORTALPAGE=<path of dashboard>&Page=<page path, this is optional>&col1=<full column name>&val1=<value>
In your case the following should work:
http://localhost:9704/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard&Action=Navigate&PORTALPAGE=<path of dashboard>&col1="IsyeriTanimlari"."DWH_ISYERI_KOD"&val1=<value>&col2="Isyeri"."IsyeriKodu"&val2=<value>
Hope that helps!

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 pId: " +pId);
if (pdata != null)
// User's data found in cache!
PortalLogger.logDebug("listBugWatcher Caching -inside pdata!=null");
pdata.removeObject(PortletCacheHelper.getUserPortletHandle(((JetspeedUser)data.getUser()).getUserName(),pId));
PortalLogger.logDebug("listBugWatcher Caching -inside pdata!=null- after removeObject");
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 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

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.

How to pass a parameter with more than one value to a report? (urgent)

Hi, all
I try to pass a parameter from a search form to a report in
which I would like to print out my search result. My problem is
I can pass the parameter to report but only one value which my
cursor points to. could anyone tell me how to pass a list of
value to the report? my trigger in form like this:
declare
PL_ID PARAMLIST;
sc_no books.c_no%type;
begin
PL_ID := GET_PARAMETER_LIST('parametername');
IF NOT ID_NULL(PL_ID) THEN
DESTROY_PARAMETER_LIST(PL_ID);
END IF;
PL_ID := CREATE_PARAMETER_LIST('parametername');
IF ID_NULL(PL_ID) THEN
MESSAGE('PL/SQL held against Button failed to execute');
RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
END IF;
ADD_PARAMETER(PL_ID, 'PARAMFORM', TEXT_PARAMETER,'NO');
sc_no := :searchlist.c_no; --(c_no is the value I want to pass
but not only one.)
ADD_PARAMETER(PL_ID, 'pamametername', TEXT_PARAMETER, sc_no);
RUN_PRODUCT(REPORTS, 'reportpathname.rep', SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME,
FILESYSTEM, PL_ID, NULL);
end;
Thank you in advance
Diana

Is it your values in parameter NO separated by coma? And is it
parameter in where clause?
Do you want something like :
from table
where s_no in (NO) ?
If is answer "yes" you can create lexical parameter in report.
You can write in report sowething like:
select a.field1, a.field2,.....
from table a
&COND /* this is if is condition only one line after "from".
if you have more lien after where then you will put this &COND
in line where you want to have your multivalue.
Then in your trigger in form you should write:
sc_no := 'where a.sc_no in ('||:searchlist.c_no||')';
ADD_PARAMETER(PL_ID, 'pamametername', TEXT_PARAMETER, sc_no);
/* again this is if you have only one line with WHERE ili
conditions */
or you will write:
sc_no := 'and a.sc_no in ('||:searchlist.c_no||')';
ADD_PARAMETER(PL_ID, 'pamametername', TEXT_PARAMETER, sc_no);
It will substitute line in which is your conditions with
multivalue.

XMLP Parameter And BIEE Dashboard Prompt "All Values"

Hi Gurus,
I want to insert a XMLP Report in the BIEE Dashboard and use a Dashboard Prompt as parameter in the Report.
There is a way to use the "All Values" value of the prompt?
I write a XMLP data model as:
select dim_1.Attribute as Dim from BIEESubjectArea where dim_1.Attribute = :Parameter;
Parameter is return by the BIEE Dashboard.
It works for all different value of the Parameter but not if I select the "All Values"
There is a way to make it works?
Regards,
Daniele

Hello Daniele,
When 'All Values' is selected (for Show), it basically displays all values avaliable for the parameter. Are you talking about 'All Choices' option? Selecting 'All Choices' will pass null values and you would have to modify your answers filter to accomodate that.
Take a look at the following: http://108obiee.blogspot.com/2009/04/detecting-all-choices-from-dashboard.html
Hope that helps!

Can I set a Session Variable from a Dashboard Prompt, using values that are

Hi All
Trying to set a Session Variable to an integer value, by letting users select a text value from the drop-down list on a Dashboard Prompt. The goal is to set the input parameter to the IndexCol function, but to provide the end users with a text description of what they are setting.
Select Value Set Variable Value
My 0
My Team 1
My Companies 2
My Teams Companies 3
Any suggestions on how to accomplish this? Certainly we could populate the drop-down from a data source, however I don't see how to populate a variable with something other than the values on the screen.
The IndexCol function is referenced in a Filter in Answers, and I'm thinking to populate a Session variable using the (Presentation) variable value set from the prompt. But how to do this? I see a reference to a function NQSSetSessionValue(), but cannot find documentation on how it works.
Any clue will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi kishore..
Looks like the link u have sent uses advanced SQL tab to set session variables. I want to know if I can use "set variable NQ_SESSION.myvar= @something" in the "SQL results" -while creating a dashboard prompt-.
Purpose: I want the session variable to be set based on whatever report that im currently in.
And i dont want to use presentation variables because im using a reset button in my page.
My reset script resets presentation variables and NOT session variables.
Thanks in advance
