Passing Abap Variants as Application Parameters

Hello.
I have searched extensively trying to find documentation for passing ABAP variants as application parameters. For example, I am creating an R/3 iview calling the transaction IW59 (display service notifications)where I am trying to use an existing ABAP variant that has the value of BV. There are no screen fields that I can find.
Is there a solution to this? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Pete Horan

Hi,
We've encountered the same problem (we think). We want to open a webgui transaction in EP 5.0 with a given variant. What do we need to input in the field "additional dynpro parameters" for this to work? We've tried "VARIANT=", but this doesn't work. We've also set the parameter "process first screen automatically" to "true".
has anyone experienced this problem before? Any help appreciated!
Regards,

Can the role info be passed from portal to ABAP web dynpro application

Hi,
We have some roles in the portal. We call the ABAP web dynpro applications from the portal. Is it possible to pass on the role from the portal to the Web dynpro ABAP application so that we can use this role information in the application.
Thanks,
Pooja

Hi,
you can try to add the expression
role=<IView.PCDUnit>
as part of the Application Parameters in the iView. This will be the role in 99%. However not all iViews started in the Portal must belong to a role. You can start iViews using page navigation that are not part of a role. Therefore the PCD does not talk about roles but about "units" which is the superordinate term.
the value will be the PCD path of the role - e.g:
portal_content/myFolder/roles/myRole

AppIntegrator - Issue with Passing Application parameters

Hi,
I've created a WebApplication system using 'HowTos' (com.sap.portal.howtos.webapp.par) file and set the system parameters.
I've created a generic iView with AppIntegrator par file (com.sap.portal.appintegrator.sap.par). Where I've passing the parameters as 'ApplicationParameter'. Following are the parameters that I'm passing in the AplicationParameter..
redirectTo=/test/ourenv/myfile.ext/($Limited)&Login
but when I see the result through HTTP WATCH, iView passing them as redirectTo=%2Ftest%2Fourenv%2Fmyfile.ext%2F%28%24Limited%29
so the other application is not taking this redirectTo parameter.
Is there any way to stop Decode/Encode the application parameters?
Thanks in Advance,
Satya

hI,
Yeah it would not.
The url specification is very clear there are certain symbols which should not be passed in any url. The reason you see encoded url is to ensure that the symbols are preserved in your request.
Your external program can easily decode %2f already in your url , to '/' and get the correct parameters or choose another symbol instead of '/'
There is no other solution. As I just checked up, url specification which applies to any url across the world is very clear on this count.
So encoding has been done to ensure your parameters are coded correctly. The client program should be able o decode it.
The '/' is a reserved character with a specific meaning and cannot be used for anything apart from its specified purpose. You have to encode it if you need to pass it for other purpose.
Refer to this link.
http://www.w3.org/Addressing/URL/uri-spec.html
This is clear on this count.

Passing Application Parameters

We are building a Flex (desktop) application which is distributed through our web application (a J2EE WAR file). I would like to be able to externalize several parameters (such as some web service identifiers) so that I can build the application once and move it through difference environment (i.e. dev, integration, qa, etc.).
I am using Adobe FlashBuilder 4 and with Air 1.5.3. All the examples I have found seem to include passing a parameter through the flashvars parameter. However, I have not been able to get this to work. Any direction would be greatly appreciated.
-John

OK, I am not having much luck. Here is the javascript code with an example parameter (testparm) being passed:
AC_FL_RunContent(
'codebase','http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab',
'width','217',
'height','180',
'id','badge',
'align','middle',
'src','badge',
'quality','high',
'bgcolor','#FFFFFF',
'name','badge',
'allowscriptaccess','always',
'pluginspage','http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer',
'flashvars','testparm=test123&appname=.........
'movie','badge' ); //end AC code
And here is the Flex code that gets run in the application's init() method:
var test:String = FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.parameters.testparm;
Alert.show("testparm=" + test, 'Alert Box', mx.controls.Alert.OK);
Note that I have also tried using the deprecated "Application.application.parameters" as you suggested but in both cases, I just get a null value.
I must be missing something that links the flashvars in the javascript to the flex application.

Passing application parameters to 9i forms

We recently converted our Forms 6 forms to 9i, on Solaris. We recompiled them on AIX and got them running, except that I have trouble figuring out how to pass application parameters. We passed the parameters on the run-form command line in our olf forms.
In 9i, I tried passing the parameter through the URL; I also tried assigning the the parameter values in formsweb.cfg. Does baseHTML need to be involved in this?
Also Oracle does not certify that forms 9i for AIX. Does anyone know of any problem running on AIX.

Clayton,
do you mean custom parameters when saying application parameters?
if you application contains custom parameters that are passed when starting the Forms, then this can be added using the otherparams parameter.
E.g.
otherparams=usesdi=yes myparam1=foo myparam2=foo2
The other params parameter can be set in the formsweb.cfg file (forms90/server) globally for all applications or individual for a single application. If you need to pass custom parameters in the URL then it could be done more nicely if you specify the following in the formsweb.cfg file
otherparams=usesdi=%usesdi% myparam1=%myparam1% myparam2=%myparam2%
In the request URL you would request the application by
.../forms90/f90servlet?config=myApp&usesdi=yes&myparam1=12&myparam2=hello
"myApp" would be a named configuration in the formsweb.cfg file like:
[myApp]
form=myEmp
userid=scott/tiger@orcl
lookandfeel=oracle
otherparams=usesdi=%usesdi% myparam1=%myparam1% myparam2=%myparam2%
You don't need to change the baseHTML file for this. The Forms system commands are pre-defined in formsweb.cfg and don't need to be added to the URL
Haven't heard about Forms not running on AIX, so I cannot help you with this question

Application Parameters not working in the Transactional iViews

We had created transactional iViews for calling the standard SAP Transaction: IQS8 and IQS9. Here the issue is that we would like to populate the default screens for these 2 transactions with different set of default values.
So, we created variants and sending them as an application parameter to these trasnactional iViews. When we call this iView it is displaying these default values as per the variant which we are sending. But when executing that transaction, it seems those application parameters that we send through the iView are not being used to call that transaction.
How to enforce the transaction to make it use the application parameters as default values, does any one has any idea?
Please let me know if any one of you have a solution for this.

Hi Venkat,
You might want to try the following approach:
1- Create a new transaction code in your SAP system (using transaction SE93 - maintain transaction) which would be a transaction variant of the transaction you want to call with a specific variant
2- Create a 'SAP transaction' iview that points to the new transaction code you created (SAP information <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/88/266a3e54a2e946e10000000a114084/frameset.htm">here</a>)
Hope this helps.

Another bug in Flex? (Application.parameters and query strings)

I'm passing in two query string parameters in the source of SWFLoader and both of them are clumped together in the first parameter by application.parameters.
But I switch the order of the parameters in the query string and both parameters are returned correctly:
Case #1:
Query String: ?cfg=zzzzzzz54B&embed_div=x
parameters.cfg: zzzzzzz54B&embed_div=x
parameters.embed_div: [nothing]
Case #2:
Query String: ?embed_div=x&cfg=zzzzzzz54B
parameters.cfg: zzzzzzz54B
parameters.embed_div: x
Here is the actual debug commands:
Dumper.info(this.url);
Dumper.info(this.parameters.cfg)
Dumper.info(this.parameters.embed_div);
And output:
(Case #1)
[INFO]: file:///C:/Program%20Files/WordRad234/chm/wordrad_kt/web%20pages/zzzzzzz5/rad_3xf.swf?cfg =zzzzzzz54B%26embed_div%3Dx (String)
[INFO]: zzzzzzz54B&embed_div=x (String)
[INFO]: (Object)
(Case #2)
[INFO]: file:///C:/Program%20Files/WordRad234/chm/wordrad_kt/web%20pages/zzzzzzz5/rad_3xf.swf?emb ed_div=x&cfg=zzzzzzz54B (String)
[INFO]: zzzzzzz54B (String)
[INFO]: x (String)
Something I just noticed: the equal sign after embed_div is replaced by %3D but only if embed_div comes last.

NEVERMIND:
It was something I was doing to the source of SWFLoader beforehand (involving encodeURIComponent).
I have to say, I have many, many times thought something was a bug in Flex and it was in fact my code. In general, I think Flex/AS3 is an elegant and useful product. The sort of ad hoc tweaks that have to be done to avoid memory leaks though is ridiculous (though I do have that figured out pretty much as well.)

Passing a Variant array to ArrayToImage Function

Hi,
I need help passing a Variant array to the ArrayToImage function in the NI Vision library.
I have no problems using the ImageToArray function - but when going back to the CWIMAQImage type the application throws an exception.
Are there any code samples for doing this?
Thanks!

Hello,
Thank you for posting to the NI forums! Try calling the ImageToArray function then immediately passing the resultant array back to ArrayToImage. That will determine whether the ArrayToImage function is causing the error, or the array that is passed into it. Can you post a small sample of how you call the ArrayToImage function and the errors that are thrown?
Thanks,

Passing querystring via alias application call

Hello everyone,
first of all I'm not quite sure if this is the correct forum for my question so please excuse me if it's the wrong one.
We're using short urls (alias) to call a application in our portal. For example http://sapportal/alias_test will be transalated to something like http://host:port/irj/portal?NavigationTarget=ROLES://portal_content/content/1/2/3
So far so good. Now I want to pass a parameter via the alias (http://sapportal/alias_test?param=value). This will be translated into http://host:port/irj/portal?NavigationTarget=ROLES://portal_content/content/1/2/3?param=value. For some reason the parameter cannot be read via request->get_form_field( 'param' ). Calling the application with a parameter directly via the controller works just fine.
You might need to know that http://host:port/irj/portal?NavigationTarget=ROLES://portal_content/content/1/2/3 is using an iView to execute the BSP application. In the settings for this iView I can define application parameters, however, this won't help since the value I want to pass with the alias is dynamic.
Any idea how I could solve this issue?
Please let me know if you need any further information.
Thank you in advance.

You're only 50% correct at what you're saying. I managed to find a solution on my own and it's working.
In the controller I'm using request->get_header_fields to read the referer field. This contains the translated url including the querystring for the alias. Extracting the parameter is rather easy then.
In other words: It's possible to read parameters for the situation given but it's not as easy as reading parameters passed by a form.
For your Information: The link is used in an E-Mail where I don't want to have a full url. And even if I would use a full url (the translated url) it wouldn't help since the parameter would still not be passed to the application.
Anyway. It's solved.

Piyush

Hi
First try a very simple application with nothing in it just one text saying Hello World
Run it and see what happens.
Also check if your url uses FQDN name. something like https:
company.name.co:50000\.......
If you do not use the FQDN it will always show a script error on the bottom and some functions will not work e.g
dropdowns.

Call a ABAP Web-Dynpro-application via a BSP-Application

We have a BSP-Framework, that call several applications among other things other BSP-Applications, ITS-Application and other systems. Now I want to integrate a ABAP Web Dynpro-Application.
For the moment I can call the ABAP Web Dynpro-Application from our application.
This application runs in the same session as the Framework (verify in transaction sm04).
When I want to call another application in the Framework, the session will be killed (no more sessions in sm04). This happens also, when I want to call the ABAP Web Dynpro-Application a second time.
I guess, that the ABAP-Framework thinks I want to go outside the system (for example www.google.de) and close the session. I found out, that this wouldn't happen, if the application were suspended. But I found no way to tell the application via a url-parameter to suspend.
Can someone help me?

Thx for the tip,
but I can't firea suspend plug. Because I'm in BSP. I understand the docu so, that you have the option to call a other apllication like BSP from a ABAP Web Dynpro.
I want to call the ABAP Web Dynpro form BSP like this way.
1. Start BSP-Framework
2. Call ABAP Web-Dynpro-Application from BSP
3. Call another Application from BSP without automatically logout by unload ABAP Web Dynpro. (I have a chance to call the ABAP Web Dynpro again via url to suspend before I call the other app.)
