Pass page parameter to discoverer portlet

Hi All,
iAS Version 10g(9.0.4)
I created worksheet(graph) using Discoverer plus having 4 parameters. I published the
discoverer graphs as discoverer portlet in Oracle portal. However for this worksheet it shows
(No parameters) in Page --> Properties --> parameter. I created simple parameter portlet with
4 items, this entry I need to pass to this discoverer portlet/Worksheet.
Any suggestion would help.
Thanks

Hi,
Thank for your reply.
We are using discoverer plus for relational data (Oracle 10g (Ias 9.0.4)).
Appreciate your feedback.

Hi, are you using discoverer plus for relational/OLAP

How to pass page parameter to report portlet ?

Portal: 9.0.4
RDBMS: 9.0.1.5.0
OS: Windows
REF: How to pass page parameter to report portlet ?
Hi,
I create a Oracle Report as a Portlet in Portal (create Report Definition File Access and check on the option "Publish As Portlet" in the on the last step). My report has an "Additional User Parameter" and I has let it "Visible to user".
When I put this portlet in my Portal page, I can see this parameter in the property/parameters of this page. However I cannot transfer my page parameter to this portlet parameter. Other portlets in this page (non-Oracle-Report portlets) are working fine with my page parameter.
Please advice.

I want to make sure we are talking about the same thing:
After you add the portlet to the page, you go to the page properties, then the parameters tab, then there is a section at the bottom called "Portlet Parameter Values" where you can click and expand your portlet to see your portlet parameters.
Is it here where your parameters just don't show up?
If it is, try the following:
- Add the portlet to another page and see if it still behaves the same.
- Mark the parameters in the portlet as being non-public, re-generate portlet (on manage tab), then mark them as being public, re-generate and then try the above again (add to another page).

Passing session parameter to a portlet from webcenter spaces page

How do you pass a parameter to a portlet on a WebCenter Spaces page? For example, I have the user's company ID in the session, I need to pass that company ID to the portlet defined to accept a company ID parameter so that the returned data can be filtered.

You can for example add the companyID to the url of the page and then pass that parameter to the parameter of your portlet.
Have you created your portlet to enable inter portlet communication? You should first do that and create a navigation-parameter in the oracle.xml. If you don't know what i'm talking about, i'll explain a bit more.
Their is another way, which is easier i think, is to set the value of your portlet parameter to an expression language refering to a session variabel.
In you portlet parameter set the companyId (if you have created a navigation-parameter companyID) to following value:
#{sessionScope.company}You will have to set the value of that session variable from within your webcenter spaces.
How are you doing that? Are you planning on setting that variable using another portlet, taskflow,... This can be very important on how webcenter reactt on parameters and it can also give you additional ways on passing the parameters.

Unable to pass the parameter to other portlet

Hi,
I am trying to pass the parameter from one portlet to other portlet using the convention below...
Example say you have two reports on a page dept and employee. You want to refresh employee report by clicking on
the dept in the department report in the same page.
(1) Create the first report based on the query
SELECT htf.anchor('http://domain/servlet/page?&_pageid=97&_dad=portal_dad&_schema=portal_schema&_mode=3&dept_code='||DEPTNO,DEPTNO) Department,
dname FROM scott.dept;
(2) Create a 2nd report
select * from EMP where DEPTNO = :dept_code
(3) In the the additional pl/sql code section before display page on the 2nd report do this
portal30.wwv_name_value.replace_value(
l_arg_names, l_arg_values,
p_reference_path||'.dept_code',portal30.wwv_standard_util.string_to_table2(nvl(get_value('dept_code'),10)));
(4) Created a page and added these reports as portlets.
In point (4) I am not getting the value of selected deptno in 'dept_code'. It is always taking the default value as '10'...
I like to have the quick solution for this so that I can show the demo to my client...
Thanks in Advance

Hi Ali,
We can add parameterized queries to any TableAdapter (and controls to accept parameter values and execute the query) using the
Search Criteria Builder Dialog Box.
For detail information, please refer to the following article to create a Windows Form to Search Data:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hbsty6z7.aspx
In addition, this issue is more related to Windows Form. I would suggest open a new thread in Windows Form forum if you have any more qestions:

How do I pass a parameter to a portlet on the URL?

I have a portlet on one tab that searches for parts. (This portlet is written and maintained by someone else.) When a user clicks on a part number in the result set on this portlet they need to be taken to another tab (different portlet on the same page) with that part number as a parameter. The second portlet then dynamically writes an
<iframe src="http://someurl?partnumber=xyz" />
to call an external application passing the part number as a URL parameter to the external application.
Writing the <iframe /> dynamically is no problem. The problem is passing the part number from one portlet to another. We planned to do this by using hrefs in the part search portal using URLs like
http://hostname:port/pls/portal/url/page/test1/portlet2?partnumber=xyz
for each part number. The problem is that the URL parameter doesn't get passed to the second portlet. Here is the code in the second portlet:
<%
PortletRenderRequest portletRenderRequest =
(PortletRenderRequest)request.getAttribute("oracle.portal.PortletRenderRequest");
String partnumber = portletRenderRequest.getQualifiedParameter("partnumber");
%>
It always sees null for the partnumber parameter.
I also have <passAllUrlParams>true</passAllUrlParams> in provider.xml.
I've tried checking this by calling the URL of the second portlet directly from a browser. The portlet sees the partnumber parameter as null, but the URL window in the browser returns the modified URL from the portal with the partnumber parameter set properly. Portal is seeing the parameter but not passing it to the portlet.
I haven't tried actually setting the in the first portlet and seeing if it all works when called from inside the portal, but I don't see why it shouldn't work by calling the second portlet URL directly with a parameter.
Am I missing some step in order to pass a parameter from one portlet to another? The parameters I have to pass are dynamic, based on the result set returned by a search in the first portlet.

My second to last paragraph should have been:
"I haven't tried actually setting the hrefs in the first portlet and seeing if it all works when called from inside the portal, but I don't see why it shouldn't work by calling the second portlet URL directly with a parameter."

Passing page parameter to form object in Porlet

How can I pass a page parameter to a Portlet that contains a form? I wish to set the default value of a dropdown item in the form based upon a page parameter. Thanks.

I have found that when you set a value for a bound variable in the customise screen you cannot clear it. For some reason it seems to be stored as a null value somewhere and it always over-rides any page parameter setting.
Try renaming the parameter in your report. Make it public as before and then link it to the page parameter (you probably don't need to rename this, but it might be a good idea to make it more than just the letter p). Watch out - parameters in the url are case sensitive.
Good luck.
Patrick.

Pass Page Parameter to next page

Dear all,
How do I pass a Page Parameter from one page to the next page?
I have an omniportlet - SQL portlet defined, where one of the items is a link. I want one of the columns to be a hyperlink to a detail page. So I have to figure out 2 things:
- how do I dynamically create the hyperlink
- how do I catch the parameter value on the detail page?
Regards

Hi Linkit:
Two things you may want to look at --
1) The URL you indicate below while accurate is not considered a "durable" URL and could change. In fact it does change in the 10.1.4 portal version and will also be different across environments (dev, test, production ...) . If you look at your on-line portal help, do a search under "direct access URL", it has a decent write-up on how to do exactly that. In general on pre 10.1.4, it is http://<hostname>:<portnumber>/pls/<dad>/url/page/<pagegroupname>/<objectname> such as http://portal.mycompany.com/pls/portal/url/page/mypagegroup/mypage/mysubpage. This changes slightly in 10.1.4.
2) For the receiving page to receive the parameter, it also needs to have a page parameter setup on it. If you set it up under the same name it should work. Also, in your example below, the ? in front of the parameter name ##DBCOLUM## should be a &. (? is used for the 1st parameter on a page _pageid in this case, and & is used for all other paramters)

How do I a form submit without losing page parametes on other portlets?

I have a page with several portlets. How can I make one of the portlets do a form submit without losing page parameters in other portlets?
If I do a submit only the controls in the form I have submitted are passed which means I loose parameters that where passed earlier.
I looked at the code the portal uses for the next button and I see that it does a POST with the action being the complete current URL with existing parameters. When I do this I cannot access the form variables in my dynamic page.

There are 3 steps to the balancing act of image weight (file size) vs image quality
1) image dimensions (on screen height x width measured in pixels is all that counts). Smaller dimensions = smaller file size.
2) compressed file type (JPEG for photos, PNG or GIF for everything else). Choose the right file type for your image.
3) quality of the final compressed image - visually comparing the final image for "acceptableness" (less artifacts) vs final file size

HOW to pass page parameter into table function in HTMLDB

I created this object and table function in database.
create or replace TYPE date_flow_type
AS OBJECT (
time           date,
max_time      number,
avg_total           NUMBER,
sum_total      NUMBER,
max_total      NUMBER,
change_rate      number
create or replace TYPE date_flow_table_type AS TABLE OF date_flow_type;
create or replace function ret_date(p_date date default sysdate) return date_flow_table_type is
v_tbl1 date_flow_table_type :=date_flow_table_type();
begin
v_tbl1.extend;
v_tbl1(v_tbl1.last):=date_flow_type (p_date,1,1,1,1,1);
return v_tbl1;
end;
and it is correct in htmldb when using in these ways
SELECT TIME da,
     max_time max_time,
     sum_total total,
     max_total max_total,
change_rate
FROM TABLE ( ret_icp_date_flow ) a;
SELECT TIME da,
     max_time max_time,
     sum_total total,
     max_total max_total,
change_rate
FROM TABLE ( ret_icp_date_flow( sysdate-1 )) a;
but return error
ORA-00904: "RET_ICP_DATE_FLOW": 无效的标识符
when pasing page parameter into the table function
SELECT TIME da,
max_time max_time,
sum_total total,
max_total max_total,
change_rate
FROM TABLE ( ret_icp_date_flow( to_date(:p1_date,'yyyy-mm-dd') )) a
and this sql is correct while running in sqlplus .

How to Pass Multiple Parameter to Discoverer Custom Folder Created in Admin

Hi,
I have done as describe in doc id (metalink) note 304192.1 and it's ok.
Now, my scope is to use the parameter declared in SETPARAMS not with the "=" condition but with "IN CLAUSE" (multipe values).
for example (SQL Inspector):
SELECT i106116 as E106116,i106117 as E106117,SUM(i106118) as E106118_SUM
FROM ( SELECT DS_COMMESSA AS i106116, DS_SCENARIO AS i106117, DS_VALUE AS i106118 FROM (select ds_commessa, ds_scenario, DS_VALUE
from dw_ods.ods_mbo_commessa
where DS_TIPO_COSTO='COSTI MEDI'
and ds_label='DIR'
and cd_scenario in (1,2)
and ds_commessa IN DW_ODS.SETPARAM.GET_PARAM1
union all
select 'Totale' as ds_commessa, ds_scenario, sum(DS_VALUE)
from dw_ods.ods_mbo_commessa
where DS_TIPO_COSTO='COSTI MEDI'
and ds_label='DIR'
and cd_scenario in (1)
and ds_commessa IN DW_ODS.SETPARAM.GET_PARAM1
group by ds_scenario
) CUO106102 ) o106102
WHERE (1 IN (DW_ODS.SETPARAM.SET_PARAM1(:"Commessa")))
GROUP BY i106116, i106117;
where the parameter "commessa" is used with "IN" operator.
Also tried to modifiy the SET_PARAM1 and GET_PARAM1 in order to use a "table of varchar2" ... but with no succes.
Help please

Rod,
for the first "problem" I find the solution on metalink (note 304192.1) and works fine (also combining SET and GET together)... otherwise I don't know how use this "workaround"...
for the multiple values on a single parameter (for example: Month='Jan,'Feb') I have tried to understand how DISCO pass these values to the SET function (I suppose like an array of varchar2) but don't work. After the first values (Jan) the reports stop... The problem in not how stored the values but understan how DISCO "pass/manage" these values (Jan,Feb)... Can u help me?
my actual SETPARAMS package body is (like metalink):
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY SETPARAM AS
FUNCTION SET_PARAM1(P1 IN VARCHAR2) RETURN NUMBER IS
BEGIN
param1 := P1;
return 1;
END;
FUNCTION GET_PARAM1 RETURN VARCHAR2 AS
BEGIN
return param1;
END;
FUNCTION SET_PARAM_MBO(p_anno IN VARCHAR2) RETURN NUMBER IS
BEGIN
anno := p_anno;
return 1;
END;
FUNCTION GET_PARAM_MBO RETURN VARCHAR2 AS
BEGIN
return anno;
END;
END SETPARAM;

RE: Public Discoverer Portlets

Hi,
I have a strange problem. I created a discoverer workbook and shared it with Public. Using the public connection I created, I placed two of the worksheets on my portal home page which is accessible to the public. Everything worked fine and has been ok for several months. Last week, I added additional worksheets to the workbook and tried to access them via discoverer portlets using the public connection. When I authenticate against the portal, I can see the discoverer portlets on the page. However. when I go to the page without authenticating, I can see everything on the page except the discoverer portlets. I have tripled checked the portlet default settings and the option to "display data using publishers connection" is set. All of the worksheets in the workbook access the same table. Why is it I can see some of the worksheets and not all using the same connection?
Does anyone have any suggestions? I am desperate!
I am using OracleBI Discoverer 10g (10.1.2.1) and Portal ( 10.1.4)
Thanks

You have a good reference in the chapter 11 of the Oracle9iAS Discoverer Configuration Guide.
You have to register the portlet provider. When it ask you about the URL you have to type http://<hostname[:port]>/discoverer/portletprovider.
Then you can add the two porlets in any portal page.

Display a Page Parameter

Hi Everyone,
Is there a way to simply display a page parameter in a portlet? I am able to use the 'Simple Parameter Portlet" and it works great... except there is a submit button on the bottom of it. I only want to show display a page parameter, not submit them.
I could write a java portlet to display it, but this seems like overkill. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks gurus!
Cory

Hi Cory,
Yes, you can display a Page Parameter in a Portlet. You just need to map the Page Parameter values to the Portlet Parameters.
You can get detailed information about the steps here :-
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/portal.1012/b10358/design.htm#sthref1392
I have tried the steps in Oracle Application Server Portal 10.1.2 & it works. I am not sure how to get rid of the 'Submit" button...:(

How do I pass parameter to different portlet regions from another page?

How do I pass parameter to different portlet regions from
another page?
I have a page that with two regions. Each region has a report
that uses the same information to generate its report.
Individually running the reports, I can use p_arg_names and
p_arg_values to get what I want. However, when I run the page
that has both portlets, my .show is gone and I cannot get it to
use the p_arg_names, etc. Do you have any idea how to overcome
this? Thanks for any help.

Help - Passing parameter to report using page parameter

I have a SQL Report on a page
The report query is
select * from scott.emp where deptno = :department
The URL for the page containing the report is:
http://developer03.fis:7777/portal/page?_pageid=95,36455&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL
I have added a page parameter = departnment
and associated the page parameter to the report bind variable in the Portlet Parameter Values as follows:
department = Page Parameter, department
I displayed the page by going to the above URL
and then added &department=10 to the end of the URL in the browser address.
I expected the report to display records for deptno = 10, but the query didn't return any records.
Anyone know what's wrong??
Thanks Larry

Yes, except you need to add &department=10 to the end of the page URL, not what I had.
