Pass an argument from external jsx to html panel?

Hi everyone,
Can you please tell me if it's possible somehow to listen to event from the external jsx in html panel? What I'm trying to do is to pass an argument from JSX to HTML Panel and to update
the panel with it.
Many thanks,
Sergey

Hi Sergey!
What I was suggesting privately to you (I report this here for the others' sake) is to use soon-to-be-released CEP5 technology: http://blogs.adobe.com/cssdk/2014/04/introducing-cep-5.html
Chiefly, the part that says:
Call from ExtendScript into HTML DOM: Most of the currently supported Adobe apps (including but not only Photoshop CC and Illustrator CC) will include a new ExternalObject which provides an API that allows developers to dispatch events from ExtendScript to the JavaScript/HTML5
But we have to wait for the next update of CC apps to support it!

Pass parameter value from oracle reports to HTML

Hi,
Can anybody tell me if i can pass oracle reports6i parameter value to HTML.
Any ideas/suggestions would be helpful
Thanks
KAvitha

Kavitha,
I didnt quite understand your question. Do you mean you want to use the report parameter form and pass the values entered there to an html form where you will display the output based on the parameters entered by the user ?
If so, No. Not to the best of my knowledge. You can pass parameters from an html form to reports though, if this is what you are looking for.

Passing message text from external RFC server into SAP EXCEPTION parameter

In function module CREDIT_CARD_SETTLEMENT the following DYNAMIC function module call exists:
------ Send items for settlement to a RFC function -------------------
    CALL FUNCTION l_fnset
         DESTINATION l_rfcset
         EXPORTING   i_ccseth                = i_ccseth
         TABLES      t_settab                = t_settab
                     t_setexd_h              = t_setexd_h
                     t_setexd_i              = t_setexd_i
         EXCEPTIONS system_failure          = 01 MESSAGE rfc_msg_text
                     communication_failure   = 02 MESSAGE rfc_msg_text
                     call_function_not_found = 03.
This is the code which calls an external credit card application server. I'm trying to figure out how, on the server side, I can return a message into the rfc_msg_text variable on the system_failure or communication_failure EXCEPTIONS.
Ive found several examples of this construct in ABAP code in the SAP side but I cant for the life of me find anything that shows how to set this up in our external server.
There are several SAP function modules like RFC_PING that have similar constructs but I cant see the compiled C code to tell what command to use to fill in that text. I can raise the exception, just not fill in the text.
Any ideas?

Hi Eric,
I do not quite understand the problem.
Is there an external NON-SAP system, that needs to do the call?
Within any external SAP system (inside the RFC Function Module) you can raise exceptions in the following manner:
MESSAGE e398(00) WITH par1 par2 par3 par4 RAISING exception_1.
Message 398 in class 00 contains only & & & & as text.
Each & is replaced by par1 through par4.
Suppose par1='Order' par2='1234' par3='invalid' par4=''.
Then a message would be build like: Order 1234 invalid.
This all would reside in the remote called function module.
When you call this module and after any exception in the call the addition MESSAGE rfc_msg_txt was put, then the variable rfc_msg_txt='Order 1234 invalid'.
But as already stated before, i'm not quite sure what the problem is. Shed some light to it.
Greetz,
Rob.

Is it possible to pass an xml from external system to EBS using BE

Hi All,
Is it possible to pass the xml payload as input parameter of a function subscribed to Business event? Or is it possible to pass table type as input to BE subscription function (SRF)? if yes how?
Thanks,

Workflow Business Events help creating Generate Function to generate an XML payload that in turn is made available to the Subscription's Rule Function. Also, at the time of Raising the Business Event, you could pass the XML payload (in the form of a CLOB) to the Raise API that will be passed along to the Business Event's Subscription Rule Function.
Hope this helps.

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.

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?
class day5FourDPoint {
int a = 0;
int b = 0;
int c = 0;
int d = 0;
day5FourDPoint rect(Point AB, Point CD) {
a = AB.x;
b = AB.y;
c = CD.x;
d = CD.y;
return this;
void printout() {
System.out.println("Four Dimension : " + a + b + c + d);
public static void main(String[] arguments) {
day5FourDPoint FD = new day5FourDPoint();
FD.rect(arguments);
if (arguments.length > 1 & arguments.length < 4) {
for (int i=0; i < arguments.length; i++) {
FD=Integer.parseInt(arguments);
FD.printout();
}

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.

.prototype in html panel JSX

Hello all,
I'm used to add new methods to photoshop DOM in jsx scripts with .prototype, i.e.
var Document = function(){};
Document.prototype.activate = function()
app.activeDocument = this;
but when I add this to Photoshop.jsx in html panel, these methods are not added/defined. Is there correct way to do it? I'm currently converting prototypes to functions for workaround, i.e.
function activateDoc(docRef)
app.activeDocument = docRef;
but it's a pain. and it worked fine for flex extensions..
I looked through some samples, but seems like no one is using this technique.
Please advise. Thanks a lot!

What u could do is add an observer to your html panel that
monitors the onPostUpdate. On each update loop through your
<a> tags (could be done with
document.getElementsByTagName('a') ) check if they start with
/wiki/ if it does, just replace or change the href.

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.

Passing arguments to the jsx file from command line

Thanks for taking my question.
I am using the following to be able to run my script from the command line.In case you were wondering on why i would be doing this- i would need to invoke the javascript from a server side code(like java,php etc. in my case it is java)
"c:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Utilities\ExtendScript Toolkit\ExtendScript Toolkit.exe" "c:\path to script\myscript.jsx"
Anyways, i have been successful in running the myscript.jsx from the command line but i am not able to figure out how i could pass arguments to "myscript.jsx" from the command line, and be able to refer to these arguments within the script.
I have tried the following
"c:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Utilities\ExtendScript Toolkit\ExtendScript Toolkit.exe" "c:\path to script\myscript.jsx" "argument1" "argument2"
and tried to refer these arguments within the script using arguments[0] and arguments[1] . But looks like this does not work.
Any thoughts?????

To run JavaScript from the prompt using ExtendScript Toolkit 1.0.3 or 2.0.2 you need to do the following:
Add the line #target indesign to the top of your script otherwise ESTK will open without executing the script. Example:
#target indesign
//MakeDocumentWithParameters.jsx
//An InDesign CS2 JavaScript
//Shows how to use the parameters of the document.open method.
//The first parameter (showingWindow) controls the visibility of the
//document. Hidden documents are not minimized, and will not appear until
//you add a new window to the document. The second parameter (documentPreset)
//specifies the document preset to use. The following line assumes that
//you have a document preset named "Flyer" on your system.
var myDocument = app.documents.add(true, app.documentPresets.item("Flyer"));
//SaveDocumentAs.jsx
//An InDesign CS2 JavaScript
//If the active document has not been saved (ever), save it.
if(app.activeDocument.saved == false){
//If you do not provide a file name, InDesign will display the Save dialog box.
app.activeDocument.save(new File("/c/temp/myTestDocument.indd"));
Ensure Indesign is open. Execute the following command:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Utilities\ExtendScript Toolkit\ExtendScript Toolkit.exe" -run "[path to script]\script.jsx"
For example:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Utilities\ExtendScript Toolkit\ExtendScript Toolkit.exe" -run "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS2\Presets\Scripts\test.jsx"
This command can be easily called from Java or any other third party application of your choice.
It took me a while to find this information, so I thought I'd share it with everyone.
Good luck!

Pass Parameters to an external appl when launched from web dynpro ABAP .

I want to Pass Paramaters to an external application when launced from Web dynpro ABAP . I have successfully launched an .exe file ( Notepad / eViewHSEditor ) from Web dynpro using the logic from Standard WD_TEST_APPL_ACFEXECUTE component But I am unable to Pass paramters to the .exe file .
example :- I would like to pass parameters text1 text2 in the arugement list and I expect it opens an untitled notepad and in the file it will have parameters text1 text2 . But it is behaving in a different way . Below are the detailed steps of what I have done .
The steps that I followed :-
1) Right now I have created the white list Configuration for Notepad.exe
2) I have created 1 and 2 postions both of type string and permission Legal .
3) The Paramter Value is * for both 1 and 2 .
4) I activated the whitelist and it generated an .XML file
5)
          application = 'C:
WINDOWS
system32
notepad.exe'.
          argument = 'text1 text2' .
          co_element :- I am reading the element from the conrtext .
      co_element = wd_context->get_lead_selection( ).
      co_element_stru-attribute_name = 'ERROR'.
      co_element_stru-element = co_element.
      wd_this->acf_method_handler->if_wd_acfexecute~execute( application = application
                                                             argumentlist = argument
                                                             errorinformation = co_element_stru ).
when i execute the application , it is trying to launch a notepad with file 'text1 text2.txt' and it doesn't have one , it is asking do you want to create . If You yes, it will open notepad with name 'text1 text2.txt' . If you Pass abcd in the arugement list , if the file with name abcd.txt exists , it opens the notepad with that file name .

You try to open notepad from your PC with the same command, you will the same result.
start->run->notepad "test1 test2". You get the popup saying that "test1 test2" file is not existing. You can google it to find a way to pass the text while opening notepad and try to fit that in your WebDynpro argument. I doubt if it is possible though.

Pass a value from a PL/SQL function to a javascript (html header) ? ?

Hey Guys,
Have a question regarding how to pass a value from a PL/SQL function to a javascript in the HTML Header.
I have created a PL/SQL function in my database, which does looping.
The reason for this is: On my apex page when the user selects a code, it should display(or highlight buttons) the different project id's present for that particular code.
example= code 1
has project id's = 5, 6, 7
code 2
has project id's = 7,8
Thank you for your Help or Suggestions
Jesh
The PL/SQL function :
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION contact_details(ACT_CODE1 IN NUMBER) RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
Project_codes varchar2(10);
CURSOR contact_cur IS
SELECT ACT_CODE,PROJECT_ID
FROM ACTASQ.ASQ_CONTACT where ACT_CODE = ACT_CODE1;
currec contact_cur%rowtype;
NAME: contact_details
PURPOSE:
REVISIONS:
Ver Date Author Description
1.0 6/25/2009 1. Created this function.
BEGIN
FOR currec in contact_cur LOOP
dbms_output.put_line(currec.PROJECT_ID || '|');
Project_codes := currec.PROJECT_ID|| '|' ||Project_codes;
END LOOP;
RETURN Project_codes;
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
NULL;
WHEN OTHERS THEN
-- Consider logging the error and then re-raise
RAISE;
END contact_details;
/

Jesh:
I have made the following modifications to your app to get it to work as I thing you need it to.
1) Changed the source for the HTML Buttons Region(note use of id vs name for the Buttons)
<script>
function hilitebtn(val) {
//gray buttons
$x('graduate').style.backgroundColor='gray'
$x('distance').style.backgroundColor='gray'
$x('career').style.backgroundColor='gray'
$x('photo').style.backgroundColor='gray'
//AJAX call to get project-ids
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,$x('pFlowId').value,'APPLICATION_PROCESS=GETPROJECTS',0);
get.addParam('x01',val)
gReturn = get.get();
var arr=gReturn.split(':'); //dump into array
get = null;
for (i=0;i<arr.length;i++) {
// alert('val=' + arr);
if ( arr[i]==5)
$x('graduate').style.backgroundColor='red';
if ( arr[i]==6)
$x('distance').style.backgroundColor='red';
if ( arr[i]==7)
$x('career').style.backgroundColor='red';
if ( arr[i]==8)
$x('photo').style.backgroundColor='red';
</script>
<table cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0' border='0'>
<tr><td>
<input type='button' id='graduate' value='Graduate'>
</td>
<td>
<input type='button' id='distance' value='Distance'>
</td>
<td>
<input type='button' id='career' value='Career/Tech'>
</td>
<td>
<input type='button' id='photo' value='Photos'>
</td>
</tr></table>
2) Defined the application process GETPROJECTS as DECLARE
IDS varchar2(1000);
l_act_code varchar2(100) :=4;
begin
IDS:='';
l_act_code := wwv_flow.g_x01;
for x in(
SELECT ACT_CODE,PROJECT_ID
FROM ASQ_CONTACT
where ACT_CODE = l_act_code)
LOOP
IDS := IDS || X.PROJECT_ID|| ':' ;
END LOOP;
HTP.PRN(IDS);
END;
3) Changed the 'onchange' event-handler on p1_act_code to be 'onchange=hilitebtn(this.value)'
4) Added the JS to the HTML Page Footer <script>
hilitebtn($v('P1_ACT_CODE'));
</SCRIPT>

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.

How to pass a variable from HTML to Flash
