Pass parameters between forms using a menu

I use a menu to switch forms. However, I have problems to pass paramenters between the froms.
Any suggestions ? Thanks.

There are 2 means:
1. The most simple to code is to use global vars. Still, you may get into some trouble managing them (erasing them when you no longer need them).
2. Use parameter lists. RTM about that. It's a bit complicated, but feisable, allowing to pass params whe using open_form or run_product (run_report).
One more thing: when referencing forms items from menu code you have to use name_in(), and for assigning values to form-items using menu code you have to use copy().

Passing parameters between form portlets on two different pages ...

Here is a brief summary of our problem.
We have one master form and a detail form which are published as portlets and placed in two different pages.
Now i want to pass parameters from master form portlet resides on one page to detail form portlet resides on another page.
Say for example, when i invoke master form (created based on demo DEPT table), enter values on fields then invoke another page
on which the second form portlet (say form based on EMP demo table) resides. Now i want to pass deptno to second form and
get displayed in deptno field of second form.
I was looking at the following posting, but how to do this when forms are published as portlets and placed on two different pages ?
http://forums.oracle.com/forums/message.jsp?id=997683
Customer actually want to pass a parameter from master form to 5 detail form portlets resides on different pages.
This is bit urgent as it is the only problem stopping the customer go live.
Thanks in advance.

Please refer to post Re: session state security
It tells you how to populate a form portlet in a page by clicking on a link in a report portlet.
You can use the wwsto_api_session objects to store data submitted by the master and let the detail form pick it up and proceed with the query.

PASS PARAMETERS BETWEEN FORM-- REPORT PORTLET

I have to develop a page. On the left handside of the page preferably a portlet there will be a form where user will enter all the parameters. Based on the parameters a report has to be generated on the right hand side of the page which again can preferably be a report portlet.
Could anyone give me directions as to how to proceed.
Eg: user selects a deptno on the parameter form on the left side, the right hand side should display report of all the employees in that dept.
Its similar to frame driver concept but this application prohibits use of Frame drivers.
Thanks

How to pass Parameters between two forms

im trying to do this but i could not find any way for this.
can any one help me how can i pass parameters between two forms
in forms4.5. any help will be appreciated
thanks.

Global variables can be used, but you can do what the online help
says ...
Parameters are passed to called forms by means of a parameter
list. A parameter list is a named programmatic construct that is
simply a list of parameter names (called keys) and their values.
You can pass parameter values to forms invoked by the built-in
subprograms CALL_FORM, OPEN_FORM, and NEW_FORM. In addition, you
can pass parameter values to other Oracle tools with the
RUN_PRODUCT procedure.
A parameter you include in a parameter list can be either a text
parameter or a data parameter. The parameter type determines how
its value is interpreted.
Text Parameters The value of a text parameter being passed to a
called product is a CHAR string that can represent the following:
n a user-defined form parameter defined in a form invoked
by the CALL_FORM, OPEN_FORM, or NEW_FORM built-in subprograms
n a command line or user-defined parameter for a product
invoked with the RUN_PRODUCT built-in subprogram
Data Parameters The value of a data parameter being passed to a
called product is always the name of a record group defined in
the current form. (A record group is a data structure that
stores records derived from a query or through programmatic
assignment.) Data parameters are used to pass data to products
invoked with the RUN_PRODUCT built-in subprogram. You cannot
pass data parameters to forms.
The following table shows the structure of a parameter list that
contains four parameters:
Key Paramtype Value
CITY Text_Parameter 'BOGOTA'
CATEGORY Text_Parameter 'EXPORTS'
MULTIPLIER Text_Parameter '.0275'
NEW_DATA Data_Parameter 'RECORD_GROUP8'

How to pass parameters between main and sub vi during parallel execution using the VI server technique?

Hello All,
I am working with the following example (from previous postings on this
board) that demonstrates how to run a sub vi in parallel with the main
vi. I'd like to pass parameters between the main and sub such as
the control (delay) and indicator (value) parameters of my subvi
example. Does any one know how to do this? Parallel
execution is important for me, I cannot just paste the subvi icon into
my main diagram (two nested while loops...)
Many thanks,
Luis

How to pass parameters between two xterm windows?

Trying to pass parameters between GUI classes and methods

Hi All.
I have been working on a rather large final year project in college and it is getting close to the deadline. It looks as though I need to "tidy up" my code as it contains too many static methods, variables and other bad programming habits. My package consists of many different GUI's and classes. Up until now I have been calling different GUI's with guiName.NameOfMethod. I have been told this is bad practice so I am trying to fix this. Also instead of passing parameters correctly I have been creating static variables in my main class and using them. So for example if one class needed to pass a variable to the other I would first myGlobalVariable = X; in the first class. And then the second class can use this. This is also bad, right?
So I guess im really just looking for a good example or tutorial on how to pass parameters between classes and methods, GUI if possible. Here is an example of how my GUI classes look:
public class anotherGUI extends JFrame implements ActionListener {
        private JTextField a, b, c;
        private JButton button1, button2;
        JPanel p, p1;
        public anotherGUI() {
            LayOutAnotherGUI();
            setLocationRelativeTo(DnDMain.pictureArray[a]);
            setTitle("Example");
            setVisible(true);
            pack();
        private void LayOutAnotherGUI(int c) {
     //GUI is layed out here
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
            Object source = e.getSource();
            if (source == submit)
                clickOK();
        public void clickOK(){
            //Here is where I have been accessing and modifying static global variables. (But this needs to change).
public void showanotherGUI() {
        new anotherGUI();
}This is more or less how I have been going about creating my GUI's. These are used as pop ups. The user enters a value and then it is closed.
To be honest I have been able to pass a variable correctly from one class to a GUI class but I have still having difficulty. For example in my code above I can pass the variable into this class but I cannot pass it into clickOK(). An this is where it is needed.
Can anyone please help?
I hope I have explained my problem well.
Thanks in advance.

I dont think that is what I need. An example of what I do in my program is:
I have a main GUI with an array of images. There are a number of other small GUI's that appear for certain functions when the user clicks on an image or does some other function. I am trying to pass a value into the GUI class that is used for the smaller "pop up" GUI. So lets say the user has clicked the image in array[12]. Then a GUI is displayed. I need to pass the integer 12 into this class.
Thanks.

Passing parameters from Forms to Reports - Unhandled exception error

Hi there,
I am passing parammeters to my Reports through Forms. I am using the built-in RUN_REPORT_OBJECT to invoke and run my report.
DECLARE
repid REPORT_OBJECT;
v_rep VARCHAR2(100);
BEGIN
repid := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('MY_REPORT');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid, REPORT_OTHER,
'p1='| |to_char(:block.p1_field)| |
' p2='| |to_char(:block.p2_field)| |
' p3='| |to_char(:block.p3_field)| |
' paramfrom=no');
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid);
EXIT_FORM;
END;
In one of my reports, after the report was invoked on the previewer window and I closed it, an unhandled exception error message appears.
Are there any restrictions on the length of REPORT_OTHER parameters/value, as in this form, there are quite a number of parameters set to passed into the reports?
I did not encounter this problem when running the report using the default REPORTS PARAMETER FORM to pass in the parameter. It is only when I pass in through FORMS using SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY, then the error appears.
I did not encounter this error with other reports which have little parameters.
Regards,
Hon Koat

Pang,
Not sure it this will make the problem go away, but you could try to send the parameters in a parameter list, instead of setting the REPORT_OTHER values.
The syntax is the same you use to pass parameter list from one form to another:
declare
repid REPORT_OBJECT;
v_rep VARCHAR2(100);
v_list paramlist;
c_listname constant varchar2(30) := 'my_list';
begin
repid := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('MY_REPORT');
v_list := get_parameter_list(c_listname);
if not id_null(v_list) then
destroy_parameter_list(v_list);
end if;
v_list := create_parameter_list(c_listname);
add_parameter(v_list, 'P1', text_parameter, to_char(:block.p1_field));
add_parameter(v_list, 'P2', text_parameter, to_char(:block.p2_field));
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid, v_list);
end;Hope this solves your problem,
Pedro

Pass variables between form

Hi,
I'm using oracle forms 6i.
How can i pass variables between forms?
Consider the scenarion of a login form.
After a user logged in successfully, a new form appears , where his name should be displayed
like 'Welcome <user>'
So name should be passed form login form to the home page.
Is it possible with Oracle?

OBIEE 11G - Issue passing parameters between two reports

Hi folks,
I am struggling to pass parameters between two reports in OBIEE 11G.
My first report contains the following columns: Rolling Year Type (VCHAR), Year(VCHAR), Month(VCHAR), Cost(Double).
My second report contains the following columns: Rolling Year Type(VCHAR), Year(VCHAR), Month(VCHAR), Category(VCHAR), Cost(Double).
My requirement is to pass the Rolling Year Type, Year and Month values from report 1 to report 2.
On the Month column properties of report 1, I have created an Action Link called 'Drill to Category'. I have clicked on 'Navigate to BI Content' and selected Report 2.
Then on Report 2, I have included three filters: Rolling Year Type is prompted, Year is prompted, Month is promted.
When I run the report I always get the following error:
The specified criteria didn't result in any data. This is often caused by applying filters and/or selections that are too restrictive or that contain incorrect values. Please check your Analysis Filters and try again. The filters currently being applied are shown below.
When I check the cursor cache, the filter values are correct. Does anybody have any idea why Report 2 does not display?
When I remove the Month filter, the report works correctly.
I have since changed the third filter to be Month No and although Report 2 does display, it does not pick up the filter on the Month No.
I initially thought this may have been a caching issue and so I have disabled BI Server Cache but this does not fix my problem.
This was never an issue on OBIEE 10G as I found it very easy to navigate between two requests.
Has anyone else experienced problems with passing parameters between two request in 11G?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Gavin

Hi,
I once tried this kind of requirement(with dashboard prompts though) and hit at similar issue. I later found out that the problem is with the space in the parameter values. Can you please let me know, if the same is the case with you?
Suppose the parameter passed is "Jan 2010", but the report on the destination takes the value as "Jan" & "2010". Yes, it kind of split the parameter value to two based on space. I think we can notice the filters the destination report got, by enabling filter view.
In this case, since you pass only value at a time, could you try placing the parameter value anyway in double quotes? I think the Server then will understand it as one value.
Thank you,
Dhar

Pass User Parameters between Forms and Reports...?

Hi,
I have been trying to pass user parameters from forms to reports using
RUN_REPORT_OBJECT. I am able to run the report from the form, but still don't know how to pass user_parameters. Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks,
AB

You can use SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY with the "REPORT_OTHER" parameter
The following example passes 3 parameters to the report:
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(pt_report_object_id, REPORT_OTHER, 'paramform=no p_param_1='||pc_param_1||' p_param_2='||pc_param_2);

Passing parameters between portlets with in the same page

Hello,
I have created a Form and a report. The form allows a user to make some selection values, and then upon submit it passes the selected values to the report to query the database. The results from the query are displayed in a new - seperate - window from the form. Is there anyway to disaply the report results on the same page as the form that called the report? I guess I am trying to have a page with 2 portlets (a form, and a report). I want the user to be able to make a selection from the form portlet and pass that selection to the report portlet within the same page.
Thanks,
McKell

Hi I received this info from an OSS named Mahantesh. I thought it was very helpful information for passing portlet parameters between a form and a report within the same page.
Please check these steps to pass parameter from form to report:
This article is based on demo tables EMP and DEPT.
1. Create a report RPT_DEPT using the query 'Select * from dept where deptno= :deptno'
2. Create a form FRM_EMP based on EMP table.
3. Edit the form FRM_EMP => 'Formatting and Validation Options' section => click on DEPTNO field
=> Give the value for the 'Link' (under 'Display options') as 'javascript:runrep()' where runrep is the name<br>
of javascript function that we are going to create later.
4. In 'Form text' section, in the 'Footer Text' add the code for the runrep function as follows.
<script>
function runrep()
var formObj = document.forms[0];
var deptno;
for (var i=0; i < formObj.length ; i++){
if (formObj.elements.name == 'FORM_EMP.DEFAULT.DEPTNO.01'){
//FORM_EMP is the form name
deptno = formObj.elements[i].value;
break;
var url="/portal/page?_pageid=38,1,38_31678:38_31787&_dad=portal&_schema=<br>
PORTAL&deptno=" + deptno;
//modify the url according to your environment.<br>
window.location=url;
}<br>
</script>
5. Modify the URL in the above code with your page url on which form and report portlets have been placed.
6. Goto Page properties => Parameters tab (Parameters and Events option should have been enabled at Pagegroup level).
7. Create a page parameter and map it with report portlet parameter.
8. Now run the page, enter deptno or query the form to get the deptno and click on the link next to deptno field. You should get report with corresponding deptno on the page.
