Pass Input Values to BI Publisher Report Layout from BI Answers Dashboard

Has anyone been able successfully pass user input values from a BI Answers dashboard prompt into a BI Publisher report? I'm trying add user inputted text (notes, comments) into a report he/she runs.
I've been trying with no success. I've matched the name of the presenation variables in Answers to the parameter definitions in BI Publisher.
I've declared the parameter in the RTF template as below:
1. Declaration
<?param@begin:param1?>
2. retrive value:
<?$param1?>
If i run it directly from BI Publisher, there is no issue. When I pass the value from an Answers dashboard, the text is never displayed in the report?
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

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

Hi ,
I'm new to pl/sql programming.
The below function is used inside a package and the package is invoked in visual studio.
The function uses 2 input parameters.
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?
I really dont have good idea about how to pass INPUT parameter to the functions or procedure
Is there any nice document which could give me good understanding about what are the ways or types we could pass values to the input parameter in subprograms?
thanks in advance.

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');

How to set it up to use BI Publisher Report layout in APEX

Hi all,
I downloaded the xml file from APEX to create a BI Publisher report layout and uploaded it to APEX report layout in share component. When I click the test report button, nothing showed. Would you show me what else I need to do to make it work?
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks much@

You need to use the desktop layout editor that works under Word to develop report layouts..

you can add flexibility by adding the module key parameters. Base the code as a reference where the author uses parameters configured in the adapter to be used to in the logic

How do I pass input values from an OTL timecard to a Fast Formula (FF)?

Hi - I hope my question is a simple one, but after hours of searching I have a feeling it is not. I currently have a FF rule that checks if benefit hours were entered in whole or half day increments. If not, an error is shown after 'Continue' is clicked. I fully understand the setup of this rule and all I want to do is enhance it a bit. I want to verify if the Task Code and Expenditure Type code combination that is coded is correct. If they are not, I want to flag it. My issue is: I have not been able to pass the values of Task Code and Expenditure Type to the FF successfully. They are not database values and any aliases I try do not work (I assume they would be input variables passed to the FF). Any tips would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Rob

You should read these values from the attributes pl/sql tables in your FF code. The timecard related info gets passed to the FF as context when you are creating a time entry rule FF.

Pass input value to a concurrent program of type PL/SQL procedure

Hi,
I have created an executable program which is based on "PL/SQL Stored Procedure" method and created a concurrent program which calls this executable. It is available from SRS.
The relevant stored procedure requires an input variable as parameter.
How can I pass this parameter when calling the concurrent program from SRS? I tried to follow the same logic as when passing parameters while calling SRS based on "Oracle reports", so create a new parameter, but "token" field is disabled.
Please help me which is the trick here.
Thank you.

BI Publisher Report Layout Get Distorted when viewed in different format

Hi Experts,
I am facing issue while running BI Publisher Report.
The Report Layout work fine in one output format (PDF).
But when the same report is generated in different format it get distorted (HTML,EXCEL).
Could any one please let me know how to resolve this issue.
Is there any SR raised for this issue.
Cheers,
Andy

Hi,
I have faced a similar issue, Finally i created a different template for each output type, and tweaked each template through trial and error till the output it provided was what i was looking for in the specified output format, I had a different template for PDF and a different one for HTML. If I used the html optimised template for PDF out, there were all sorts of alignment issues, etc.and vice versa. As for the date format, you can set the parmeter correctly using the word date format properties.

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){

XML Publisher Report Output from OAF Page

Hi,
I created a button in a OAF page, and called the XML publisher Report program on click of this button. The concurrent request was ran when check from View Requests. When I click on viewout, the pdf document was open with the option, open, save, cancel. But this is not coming up in the OAF page. when debugged the code, the url is null.
Please see the below code.
OADBTransactionImpl oadbtransactionimpl = (OADBTransactionImpl)paramOAPageContext.getRootApplicationModule().getOADBTransaction();
String s1 = oadbtransactionimpl.getAppsContext().getEnvStore().getEnv("TWO_TASK");
System.out.println("s1 = " + s1);
String s2 = oadbtransactionimpl.getAppsContext().getEnvStore().getEnv("GWYUID");
System.out.println("s2 = " + s2);
String s3 = "BEGIN :1 := fnd_webfile.get_url(fnd_webfile.request_out, :2, :3, :4, 2); end;";
CallableStatement callablestatement = paramOAPageContext.getApplicationModule(paramOAWebBean).getOADBTransaction().createCallableStatement(s3, 1);
System.out.println("s3 = " + s3);
if(requestId != 0)
try
Number number = new Number(requestId);
callablestatement.registerOutParameter(1, 12);
callablestatement.setInt(2, number.intValue());
callablestatement.setString(3, s2);
callablestatement.setString(4, s1);
callablestatement.execute();
String s4 = callablestatement.getString(1);
System.out.println("Before S4 if statement");
if(s4 == null || s4.equals(""))
// throw new RuntimeException();
System.out.println("URL is null");
System.out.println(" print ouput url - " + s4 );
// throw OAException.wrapperException(exception);
oadbtransactionimpl.putValue("OutputURL", s4);
System.out.println(" print ouput url - " + s4 );
}

Look at the links AJ gave.
Basically what you will do is create a Data Definition and assign a Data Template to it. Create a (document) Template and assign it to your data definition. You will use the XML Publisher Java API classes to pass parameters to your data template and extract the XML data. Then you will use this in conjunction with your document template and the OAF integration region to present the final output to the user.
All of these things are in the XML Publisher documentation and Javadocs.

Problem in XML Publisher Report submission from OAF Pages

Hi,
I am trying to submit Concurrent Program from OAF Page which is an XML Publisher Report.
The request is Submitting and Completing successfully but when we open to view the out put we are able to view the HTML tags.
We checked the same Concurrent program by submitting from the SRS window After completing if we click on view output the rtf file is getting opened correctly.
I tested with normal rdf report it is working fine with standard Concurrent program used in OAF
So my doubt is
Does the Standard Concurrent program used in OAF supports the rtf reports.
Please suggest if any modifications to be done in the Concurrent program

Modified your code a little bit.Use this
    public int submitCPRequest(String shipmentId) {
    System.out.println("into submitCPRequest");
        OAPageContext pageContext;
        OAWebBean webBean;
    try {
OAApplicationModule am =pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean);
    OADBTransaction tx = (OADBTransaction)am.getOADBTransaction();
    java.sql.Connection pConncection = tx.getJdbcConnection();
    ConcurrentRequest cr = new ConcurrentRequest(pConncection);
    String applnName = new String("XXAPL"); //Application that contains the concurrent program
    System.out.println("ApplName"+ applnName);
    String cpName = new String("XXAPLPOSMPRD"); //Concurrent program name
    System.out.println("Concc Name"+ cpName);
    String cpDesc = new String(" APL PO Shipping Material Pickup Request"); // concurrent Program description
    // Pass the Arguments using vector
    // Here i have added my parameter headerId to the vector and passed the
    //vector to the concurrent program
    Vector cpArgs = new Vector();
    cpArgs.addElement(shipmentId);
    System.out.println("Args"+ cpArgs);
    // Calling the Concurrent Program
    int requestId = cr.submitRequest(applnName, cpName,cpDesc, null, false, cpArgs);
    cr.addLayout("XXAPL", "XXAPLPOSMPRT", "ENG", "US" , "RTF");
    System.out.println("Req Id"+ requestId);
    tx.commit();
    return requestId;
        catch (RequestSubmissionException e) {
        System.out.println("Into Exception");
        OAException oe = new OAException(e.getMessage());
        oe.setApplicationModule(this);
        throw oe;
        catch(Exception exception)
        throw OAException.wrapperException(exception);

Copy report layout from one report to another

I have a VERY complex report layout which is part of a report with Data model A. I need to copy that report layout to another report which has Data model B, which has all the same structure as Data model A but is queried differently. The first is invoices for regular billing the second is invoices for re-billing, all columns are the same.
Thanks for any help / suggestions.

Hi Robert,
In the Report Organizer, just right click and Export the definition. Then, open the new company & right click and import the definition.

Passing input Dates in a Crystal Report

Post Author: Preethig
CA Forum: Older Products
Hi all,
I am using Crystal reports 8.5 to develop my report. I use the the Crystal report Enterprise Version 8.0 to view my reports in the IE 6.0 Web browser.I communicate to the Crystal Enterprise through my Active Server Pages.(ASP 3.0)
From my asp page redirect to the urlI use response.redirect
Here is an example URL:
http://Domain/Directory/Report.rpt?&prompt0=Valuemy url request is
Response.Redirect("report.rpt?&prompt0=" & some random value & "&prompt1=" & DateField & "&prompt2 =" & DateField )
and I use "sf " query string parameter for passing new selection criteria
There are three parametes defined in the Crystal report
Prompt0 - To accept a Number
Prompt1 - To accept a Date
Prompt2 - To accept a Date
Problem: Even after passing the input date parameters as the parameter values for the parameter "Prompt1" and "Prompt2" in my Active Server Page, on launch of the Crystal report in the Crystal enterprise Viewer, the Crystal reports' Dialog still prompts the user to give input dates.
Need Solution for: I should be able to pass the date parameter values from the ASP page and susequently, the crystal dialog should not be prompted to get the input dates.Kindly suggest a solution.
Thanks in advance!!Preethi

Well, can you please post the details about your stored proc?
<quote> I've checked that when calling one stored-procedure within a crystal report, one sequence will be selected for 2 times. Thus 2 will be added to the corr. sequence No.</quote>
Question: What do you mean by that? How many times did you run the report?
More details please.

Pass multi value parameter to sub report in Drill through report, ssrs

I have two reports 1 is subreport and other is main report. Date Field are placed in both reports. i have groups in main report,
one group is task. In the task fields one persons is working in 3 project, two project are same company and 1 is for other and it give me count for each project. I
want when i click on link it send multivalue parameter to subreport and it just show matching records.
Asif Mehmood

As I understand what you need is to use LookupSet function.
Suppose if your dataset is like this (for simplicity I'm showing only required fields)
PersonID Project Company
ID1 P1 C1
ID1 P2 C1
ID1 P3 C2
ID1 P4 C2
ID1 P5 C3
If you want to get the full project list for the person just send the PersonID alone and filter using it in the subreport. You can keep the project/company parameters optional in that case and put a default value. This would be the easiest thing.
Now if you want pass the project parameter also you need to pass it like this
=Join(LookupSet(Fields!Person.Value,Fields!Person.Value,Fields!Project.Value,"DatasetName"),",")
This would act like a self lookup and return you full list of projects for the person and then you can use this to set the parameter value in the subreport.
