Passing a value for date parameter from Oracle Forms to BIP

Hi
I have created a report with the following SQL query:
select
d_tables.d_seq,
to_date(d_tables.d_created) creation_date,
d_tables.d_created_by created_by,
d_tables.d_pk,
d_tables.table_name,
d_tables.comments
from
d_tables, d_applications
where
d_tables.d_ppk = d_applications.d_pk
and to_date(d_tables.d_created) >= nvl(:P_CRE_DATE_FROM, to_date(d_tables.d_created))
and to_date(d_tables.d_created) <= nvl(:P_CRE_DATE_TO, to_date(d_tables.d_created))
The parameters P_CRE_DATE_FROM and P_CRE_DATE_TO have been set up as date in BI Publisher with format dd-MMM-yyyy
The report works fine when launched in BI Publisher.
I want to call this report from Oracle Forms and I'm trying to pass the values for both the parameters. However, the report does not generate output based on values passed.
Does it have to do with datatype? Does anyone know a solution for this?
Kind regards,
Aparna

Thanks for your suggestion. I am already referring to the whitepaper and have integrated Forms with BI Publisher. The parameter passing is working fine for a varchar2 type of parameter. However, for a date type, there seems to be some problem.

How to passing multiple values for a parameter of discoverer(url parameters

Hi All,
I am trying to pass multiple values for a parameter of disco report. I am trying to include my url for discoverer viewer report. the values has the following
'jeff,mark'
'sfophiee,angela'
Thanks and Regards
Venkat

Hello Venkat,
I know there are some problems with 10.1.2.0.2, maybe if you haven't done yet you can try with 10.1.2.2, assuming this version should be working for multiple parameter values :
OracleAS Discoverer 10.1.2.2 is installed with the following patch :
Patch 4960210 PLACEHOLDER BUG FOR AS/DS 10G R2 PATCH SET 2 10.1.2.2
So, once installed you can try adding your parameter as param_<parameter_name>='sfophiee,angela'
Hope this helps, otherwise feel free to log a Service Request to Support.

For Update Query from ORACLE Forms

Hi
We are using Oracle Forms 10g running with 10g database 10.2.0.1.0. We happend to see a query which is getting generated in AWR report like Select rowid, all_columns from TableName for Update of C1 Nowait. But no such query is really written in forms and we are aware that, Any query prefixed with rowid is definitely executing from Forms. But how the ForUpdate and Nowait clause is appended to the query.
We have checked the following properties in the database Block
*1) Locking Mode is set to Automatic*
*2) Update Changed Columns only is set to YES*
*3) Query all records is set to No (Though this particular property may not be relevant to the issue)*
What is the property or setting which might trigger such a query from ORACLE Forms with ForUpdate and Nowait clause.
Any ideas/suggestions on why such behaviour. Please have a healthy discussion on this. Thanks in advance.

you can't dynamically add a query to the data model in reports.
You should look into the XML based customization of Oracle Reports. This will enable you to define a report dynamically by creating a definition in XML.
Also another option is to have the report with a query in it and use lexical parameters in reports to pass the query definition or just the where part of it.
Look at the reports online help for both of these solutions.

SSRS How to pass a value for Hidden parameter ?

Hello,
I have a SSRS report deployed on the Report server. This report is having an "Hidden" parameter.
Could someone please guide me, how to pass the value to this internal parameter in each of the following case -
1. Report is accessed through a Desktop application/Web application in Report Viewer.
2. Report is accessed through the Url.
3. Report is accessed through the Report Manager.
Any quick help on this is highly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi Vinay Pugalia,
Internal Parameters in SSRS are parameters that are not configurable by the end-user at run-time and values cannot be passed to this type of parameter (when present in the child report) in case of a drill-through report implementation. This
type of parameter is read-only and not accessible in parent report.
This varies from a Hidden Parameter, which the user is not prompted to provide, but can still be configured through the URL to the report server.
So no matter you access the report through report manager, URL or Report Viewer. The passing value to the internal parameter will not work.
As you have mentioned that I will also suggest you use the hidden parameter instead.
More details information in this blog for your reference:
SSRS – Understanding Report Parameter Visibility
How to pass value to hide parameter is the same as that of the visible parameter, similar thread for your reference:
Passing the value in action property of a text box

Ino,
thanks for your answer.
You're all rigth abouth the index issue. So I've written my SQL like you say in your post. But i get an error : "ORA-... Non-character found where character expected... " or something like that. I've checked nls_date_format in my client machine and the server (DB 8.1.7.4), and also the regional settings in both machines, and all are set to 'DD-MON-YY'. What can be wrong?
Thanks again for your time.

Can any one help me to configure the mysql table to enable user expiration to function, I have tryed most things, but not dates are being passed back to the data base from the form

Im trying to build user expiration into my registration form, but I cant get the form to send back the date registering.
in my data base i have tried every thing from timestamp to datetime. I can get a timestamp but it is not functioning with the expiration?

just have a look at my tutorial Login tables: installation & configuration where the required column attributes are explained and where you can obtain a fully functional SQL dump for a typical ADDT "login" and (optionally) "login_stats" table.
BTW, "expiration" will have to be an "int" column.

Passing and Parsing Multiple values for 1 Parameter using ASP and reportInterface.ReportParameters

Post Author: ckwizard77
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
HELP!!
I have been knocking my head against a wall trying to figure out how to pass multiple values to 1 parameter and how to add it to the parameter collection. I have code so if I pass single values for each parameter it works fine. I am passing the parmeters and values in a pipe delimited string through a url where it gets parsed and pass in here.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here is the single param code:
Public Sub SetParamValues(ReportName, strParamName, ParamValue) Dim i,reportInterface, ParamName,strSubReprotName,CurrentValues Set reportInterface = reportObject.PluginInterface("") Set reportParameters = result.Item(1).PluginInterface("Report").ReportParameters For i=1 to reportParameters.Count if ReportName <>"" then strSubReprotName=reportInterface.ReportParameters.Item(i).ReportName if strSubReprotName=ReportName then ParamName = reportInterface.ReportParameters.Item(i).ParameterName if ucase(ParamName)=Ucase(strParamName) then Set CurrentValues = reportInterface.ReportParameters.Item(i).CurrentValues CurrentValues.Clear() Dim newSingleParameter Set newSingleParameter = ReportInterface.ReportParameters.Item(i).CreateSingleValue newSingleParameter.Value = ParamValue reportInterface.ReportParameters.Item(i).CurrentValues.Add newSingleParameter reportInterface.ReportParameters.Item(i).PromptOnDemandViewing=false iStore.Commit result End if End if Else ParamName = reportInterface.ReportParameters.Item(i).ParameterName Set param1 = reportInterface.ReportParameters.Item(i) if Ucase(ParamName)=UCase(strParamName) then Set CurrentValues = reportInterface.ReportParameters.Item(i).CurrentValues CurrentValues.Clear() Set newSingleParameter = ReportInterface.ReportParameters.Item(i).CreateSingleValue newSingleParameter.Value = ParamValue reportInterface.ReportParameters.Item(i).CurrentValues.Add newSingleParameter reportInterface.ReportParameters.Item(i).PromptOnDemandViewing=false iStore.Commit result End if End if NextEnd Sub

That Makes sense.
thanks a lot !
Well now are at it, mind if I ask you another quick question:
If I make an option in the multiselect list called ALL which should return all the results:
as should act like this
select * from dept;
you solution was:
select * from dept
where INSTR(':'||:P1_EMPNO||':', ':'||empno ||':') > 0
Can I modify this to return all the rows ?

Create URL with multiple values for one parameter

Post Author: cbamberg
CA Forum: General
While I have no problems to create the URL to open a report with a single value for a parameter from my Java application, I don't know how to format multiple values for a parameter when I want to pass the "&prompt0=" value. The values I want to pass are numbers, not strings.
Anyone can help?

Hi gayatri,
you need to select both the product id and custname.put a count on the prodid column and write a condition of count>1 and apply it.
Thanks

Multiple values for the Parameter

1. Had any tried the selecting MULTIPLE values for the parameter in Oracle Discoverer Plus Releae 4.1 Version 4.1.37.00.0. If so can please let me know how to implement it.
2. In a Page-Detail Cross Tab workbook, I have to show the weighted average instead of the avg or sum. Any inputs please.
3. I have to compare two periods (TOP) of datapoints. Any inputs please.

If you wanted to eliminate the need for users to type in the parameter values, you could create a LOV on the desired column. This will produce a distinct list of all valid values where the user would simply select as the wish. Of course you still need to check the "let user enter multiple values" checkbox if you want them to select more than one.

How do I set a NULL value for the parameter field

Hi
I've another question. I'm going to set single values for parameter fields.
// e.g. set today for StartDate parameter field
fc.setCurrentValue("", "StartDate", new Date());
It should be possible to set a NULL value for date parameter fields.
fc.setCurrentValue("", "StartDate", (Date)null);
But this do not work. How do I set a NULL value correctly?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Thomas

First question - is it a stored procedure parameter?
You can't set a regular parameter field value to a null value.
There was an issue with old version of the JRC, where it was allowing null to go through, but had unexpected behavior at times.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

How to pass a date parameter from report builder query designer to oracle database

i'm using report builder 3.0 connected to oracle database. i'm trying to pass a date parameter in the query with no success, i don't
know the exact syntax. I've tried :
SELECT * FROM igeneral.GCL_CLAIMS where CREATED_BY IN (:CREATED_BY) AND CLAIM_YEAR IN(:UW_YEAR) AND (LOSS_DATE) >To_Date('01/01/2014','mm/dd/yyyy')
it worked perfectly.
However if i try to put a date parameter "From" instead of 01/01/2014 it will not work, a Define Query Parameter popup window appear and error occurred after i fill
the values (usually i shouldnt get this popup i should enter the value when i run the report)
SELECT * FROM igeneral.GCL_CLAIMS where CREATED_BY IN (:CREATED_BY) AND CLAIM_YEAR IN(:UW_YEAR) AND (LOSS_DATE) >To_Date(:From,'mm/dd/yyyy')
appreciate your assistance

Hi Gorgo,
According to your description, you have problem when in passing a parameter for running a Oracle Query. Right?
Based on my knowledge, it use "&" as synax for parameter in Oracle, like we use "@" in SQL Server. In this scenario, maybe you can try '01/01/2014' when inputing in "From". We are not sure if there's any limitation for To_Date()
function. For your self-testing, you can try the query in sqlplus/sql delveloper. Since your issue is related to Oracle query, we suggest you post this thread onto Oracle forum.

Select multiple items from a list box as values for a parameter of crystal report and Oracle procedure

- I have a Product list box (asp.net) used as multiple selected values for a parameter.
- The Product ID is defined in the Oracle procedure as NUMBER data type.
- In my crystal report, I have a parameter field allow multiple values as p_product_id type as Number. This is the code in my Record Selection Formula for the report:
({?p_product_id}[1] = -1 OR {Procedure_name.product_id} in {p_product_id})
- In C#, this is my code
List<decimal?> productUnit = new List<decimal?>();
int counter = 0;
decimal prod;
for (int i = 0; i < lstProducts.Items.Count; i++)
              if (lstProducts.Items[i].Selected)
                            if (decimal.TryParse(lstProduct.Items[i].Value, out prod))
                                productUnit.Add((decimal?)prod);
                                counter++;
       if (counter == 0)
                   productUnit.Add(-1);
ReportingDAO rDataFactory = new ReportingDAO();
retVal = rDataFactory.GetProductReport(productUnit);
public CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument GetProductReport(List<decimal?> productUnit)
          CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument retVal = new rptProductDownload();
          ReportLogon rptLog = new ReportLogon();
         rptLog.Logon(retVal, "RPT_PRODUCT_DOWNLOAD");
         retVal.SetParameterValue("p_product_id", productUnit);
I keep having the "Value does not fall within the expected range" when I debug. My question is, is the data type I used for procedure/Crystal report/ and C# correct ? I always have problem with the data type. Any help would be
appreciated

Passing date parameter from forms to report

Hi,
I'm using forms and reports 6i.
I want to pass one date parameter from forms to reports.
Using
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'P_FROM_DATE',TEXT_PARAMETER,:FROM_DT);
giving me error REP-0091- Invalid value for parameter 'P_FROM_DATE'
This i think is because report expects date and here it is converted as varchar.
Please help

Hi Divya,
Even I use this kind of statement
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'P_FROM_DATE',TEXT_PARAMETER,:FROM_DT);and works fine for me.
This i think is because report expects date and here it is converted as varchar
Correct.
Open the report in the builder and under Data Model -> User Parameters, Go to the Property Inspector of P_FROM_DATE. Under Parameter, set Datatype as Character instead of Date.
Hope this should work. and tell me if it works(coz it wokred for me).

Any way to pass Multiple Values for a single Label in the Parameter?

I have a Report that Contains 2 Parameters, @Customer & @Area. When trying to set up the Available Values for @Area, I'm having issues using multiple values for one Label, i.e. = "4006" Or "4610"
One of the Filters in the Report is an Operation number, which is the [OPERATION] field, which is setup as a filter on the Tablix referencing the @Area parameter.
PROBLEM: I cannot retrieve any data when trying to use the ‘Or’ Operator here. If I simply put “4006” or “4610” I retrieve data, but when trying to combine it returns no data.
Example, I need to allow a user to select ‘Chassis Incoming’, which would include data from Operations 4006 & 4610.
QUESTION:
Any way to pass Multiple Values for a single Label in the Parameter?
I realize the typical solution may be to use ‘Multi-Value’ selection, but in this case we want the User to select the Area and the multiple values for Filtering will be automatically determined for them. Otherwise, they are subject to not getting
it correct.
I have tried several different ways, such as =”4006” Or “4610”, =(“4006”, “4610”), = In(“4006”, “4610”), etc….
Note: We are using Report Builder 3.0

Based on my experience, there's no way to 'intercept' the query that gets passed back to SQL Server, so a Split wouldn't work.
Try creating either a function or stored procedure using the code below (compliments to
http://www.dotnetspider.com/resources/4680-Parse-comma-separated-string-SQL.aspx) to parse the string:
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.Parse(@Array VARCHAR(1000), @Separator VARCHAR(10))
RETURNS @ResultTable TABLE (ParseValue VARCHAR(100))AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @SeparatorPosition INT
DECLARE @ArrayValue VARCHAR(1000)
SET @Array = @Array + @Separator
WHILE PATINDEX('%' + @Separator + '%' , @Array) <> 0
BEGIN
SELECT @SeparatorPosition = PATINDEX('%' + @Separator + '%', @Array)
SELECT @ArrayValue = LEFT(@Array, @SeparatorPosition - 1)
INSERT @ResultTable VALUES (CAST(@ArrayValue AS VARCHAR))
SELECT @Array = STUFF(@Array, 1, @SeparatorPosition, '')
END
RETURN
END
Once created you can do things like this:
SELECT * FROM Parse('John,Bill,David,Thomas', ',')
SELECT * FROM (SELECT 'John' AS TestName union select 'David' AS TestName) AS Main
WHERE TestName IN (SELECT ParseValue FROM dbo.Parse('John,Bill,David,Thomas', ','))
This is what your SQL query would probably look like:
SELECT OperationID, OperationName FROM dbo.Operations
WHERE AreaID IN (SELECT ParseValue FROM dbo.Parse(@Area, ','))
You may need to fiddle around with the Separator depending on whether SQL Server inserts a space between the comma and next value.

Pass the value for dictionary field that doen't have parameter ID

Respected Members,
I have a requirement that i have to call the tcode Va11(inquiry creation) from my program and pass the values for the customer po number and customer po date available in the inquiry creation screen.
Since whatever require for the first screen of VA11 i can pass the values with using SET parameter ID becoz all the things have the parameter ID .
Document type ,sales org, dist channel and division are having the parameters ID.
Now exactly where to put the values for the next screen in the field customer po number and customer po date doesn't have the parameter ID.
Fields are BSTKD and BSTDK .
Now how to pass the values from my module pool program.
Please give me some solution.
Suppose i m creating a parameter ID from the program then also it won't get attach to this fields.
Please give me yours solution as soon as possible.
Thanks

hi Manish..
It the Fields are not assigned with PARAMETER ID then We cannot pass the data using SAP Memory (Set Parameter ID).
So the Only way u can pass the Data is using
Enhancements (if they are provided)
or
BDC technique.
