Passing arguments to a WorkFlow launched from a Link field in a form

Hi. Anybody knows if it's possible to pass some argument to a WF launching it from a form?
In the form from which I call the WF, I have a var that contains a list. This list has to be passed as an argument to the WF.
The code:
<Field>
<Display class='Link'>
<Property name='name' value='Launch WF'/>
<Property name='URL' value='user/processLaunch.jsp?id=My WorkFlow'/>
</Display>
</Field>Can I add something to the URL propriety to pass the var?
Thanks,
O

add variables, prefixing them with 'op_', like the following:
<Property name='URL' value='user/processLaunch.jsp?id=My WorkFlow&op_myVar=myvalue'/>

Warning: passing argument 2 of 'setValue:forKey:' from distinct Objective-C

I want to keep my projects warning free. In the following line
[tempValues setValue:@"Some Text" forKey:[NSNumber numberWithInt:0]];
the compiler complains with an
"warning: passing argument 2 of 'setValue:forKey:' from distinct Objective-C type" warning.
tempValues is an NSMutableDictionary.
Any idea how to resolve this warning?

Essentially, the typical rationale behind this particular warning is: The compiler must not let you write code that seeks to modify a non-modifiable object without giving some warning.
Are you in effect trying to modify a non-modifiable object?
Remember...(and I quote because I'm too lazy otherwise) "When you have a variable of type NSMutableArray*, then anyone would think that the array it points to can be modified. So if this variable contains a pointer to an actual non-mutable array, that would be a recipe for disaster, because any attempt to actually modify the array would fail in some way. For that reason, Objective-C must not just allow an assignment assigning an NSArray* to an NSMutableArray* variable.
The other way round is harmless: Anyone looking at a variable of type NSArray* would think the array cannot be modified and therefore won't try to modify it. If the actual object is an NSMutableArray, no harm is done."

How to pass arguments to a batch file from java code

Hi
I have a batch file (marcxml.bat) which has the following excerpt :
@echo off
if x==%1x goto howto
java -cp C:\Downloads\Marcxml\marc4j.jar; C:\Downloads\Marcxml\marcxml.jar; %1 %2 %3
goto end
I'm calling this batch file from a java code with the following line of code:
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start C:/Downloads/Marcxml/marcxml.bat");
so ,that invokes the batch file.Till that point its ok.
since the batch file accpets arguments(%1 %2 %3) how do i pass those arguments to the batch file from my code ...???
%1 is a classname : for ex: gov.loc.marcxml.MARC21slim2MARC
%2 is the name of the input file for ex : C:/Downloads/Marcxml/source.xml
%3 is the name of the output file for ex: C:/Downloads/Marcxml/target.mrc
could someone help me...
if i include these parameters too along with the above line of code i.e
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start C:/Downloads/Marcxml/marcxml.bat gov.loc.marcxml.MARC21slim2MARC C:\\Downloads\\Marcxml\\source.xml C:\\Downloads\\Marcxml\\target.mrc") ;
I get the following error :
Exception in thread main java.lang.Noclassdef foundError: c:Downloads\marcxml\source/xml
could some one tell me if i'm doing the right way in passing the arguments to the batch file if not what is the right way??

1 - create a java class (Executer.java) for example:
import java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException;
import java.lang.reflect.Method;
public class Executer {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          try {
               for (int i = 0; i < args.length; i++) {
                    System.out.println(args);
               Class<?> c = Class.forName(args[0]);
               Class[] argTypes = new Class[] { String[].class };
               Method main = c.getDeclaredMethod("main", argTypes);
               // String[] mainArgs = Arrays.copyOfRange(args, 1, args.length); //JDK 6
               //jdk <6
               String[] mainArgs = new String[args.length - 1];
               for (int i = 0; i < mainArgs.length; i++) {
                    mainArgs[i] = args[i + 1];
               main.invoke(null, (Object) mainArgs);
               // production code should handle these exceptions more gracefully
          } catch (ClassNotFoundException x) {
               x.printStackTrace();
          } catch (NoSuchMethodException x) {
               x.printStackTrace();
          } catch (IllegalAccessException x) {
               x.printStackTrace();
          } catch (InvocationTargetException x) {
               x.printStackTrace();
          } catch (Exception e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
2 - create a .bat file:
@echo off
java -cp C:\Downloads\Marcxml\marc4j.jar; C:\Downloads\Marcxml\marcxml.jar; Executer %TARGET_CLASS% %IN_FILE% %OUT_FILE%3 - use set command to pass variable:
Open MS-DOS, and type the following:
set TARGET_CLASS=MyTargetClass
set IN_FILE=in.txt
set OUT_FILE=out.txt
Then run your .bat file (in the same ms dos window)
Hope that Helps

Passing arguments to the jsx file from command line

Thanks for taking my question.
I am using the following to be able to run my script from the command line.In case you were wondering on why i would be doing this- i would need to invoke the javascript from a server side code(like java,php etc. in my case it is java)
"c:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Utilities\ExtendScript Toolkit\ExtendScript Toolkit.exe" "c:\path to script\myscript.jsx"
Anyways, i have been successful in running the myscript.jsx from the command line but i am not able to figure out how i could pass arguments to "myscript.jsx" from the command line, and be able to refer to these arguments within the script.
I have tried the following
"c:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Utilities\ExtendScript Toolkit\ExtendScript Toolkit.exe" "c:\path to script\myscript.jsx" "argument1" "argument2"
and tried to refer these arguments within the script using arguments[0] and arguments[1] . But looks like this does not work.
Any thoughts?????

To run JavaScript from the prompt using ExtendScript Toolkit 1.0.3 or 2.0.2 you need to do the following:
Add the line #target indesign to the top of your script otherwise ESTK will open without executing the script. Example:
#target indesign
//MakeDocumentWithParameters.jsx
//An InDesign CS2 JavaScript
//Shows how to use the parameters of the document.open method.
//The first parameter (showingWindow) controls the visibility of the
//document. Hidden documents are not minimized, and will not appear until
//you add a new window to the document. The second parameter (documentPreset)
//specifies the document preset to use. The following line assumes that
//you have a document preset named "Flyer" on your system.
var myDocument = app.documents.add(true, app.documentPresets.item("Flyer"));
//SaveDocumentAs.jsx
//An InDesign CS2 JavaScript
//If the active document has not been saved (ever), save it.
if(app.activeDocument.saved == false){
//If you do not provide a file name, InDesign will display the Save dialog box.
app.activeDocument.save(new File("/c/temp/myTestDocument.indd"));
Ensure Indesign is open. Execute the following command:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Utilities\ExtendScript Toolkit\ExtendScript Toolkit.exe" -run "[path to script]\script.jsx"
For example:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Utilities\ExtendScript Toolkit\ExtendScript Toolkit.exe" -run "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS2\Presets\Scripts\test.jsx"
This command can be easily called from Java or any other third party application of your choice.
It took me a while to find this information, so I thought I'd share it with everyone.
Good luck!

Pass argument to anonymous workflow?

I'm using Sun IdM 8.1 and want to pass an argument to a call to an anonymous workflow:
Update profile
The proccess is launched, but alternateAction is null.
I have tried to define the variable alternateAction in the workflow as external, input and both but to no avail.
Any suggestions?
Best regards
Stefan

When you invokes the button, right before the action method.
What exactly do you want to achieve? Now I think twice about it, the design may be somewhat odd. You just want to pass an argument to the rendered attribute regardless of action?
If so:<h:someComponent binding="#{myBean.someComponent}" rendered="#{myBean.renderSomeComponent}">
    <f:attribute name="attributeName" value="attributeValue" />
</h:someComponent>MyBeanprivate HtmlSomeComponent someComponent; // + getter + setter
public boolean renderSomeComponent() {
    String attributeName = (String) someComponent.getAttributes().get("attributeName"); // "attributeValue"
    // Implement return.
}

How do I pass arguments to a TestStand sequence from an operator interface written in LabWindows?

I intend to use TS_EngineNewExecution() which takes a VARIANT parameter for the arguments.
I have only found example code for C++ where a propertyObject containing the arguments is converted to a VARIANT using the constructor of the _variant_t class.
How do I accomplish this in LabWindows?

Hi webprofile,
I did not extensively test this code, but based on the previous posts, this is what the function might look like (I bolded the changes from what ships by default):

What has Oracle modified in its version of Firefox that prevents it from working with Thunderbird? (and please, don't tell me to use Evolution - yuck!) Thanks for any help.

Default size of new browser window launched from community links portlet

Does anyone know of a way to control the size of the new browser window that is launched when the user clicks a link in a Community Links portlet (or any other links that launch a new browser window)?
We default all users to open links in a new browser window and I can't seem to find any rhyme or reason to how it sizes the resulting window. Some community links come out really skinny and un-user friendly, while others are nicely sized to near full screen.
Is there some way to control this?
Thank you.
Darla

Darla,
Which version of the portal are you guys running? We are currently using 6.5 and all the links/Documents/ExternalLinks/Pages open up in a new browser window with the same sizes.
Its basically controlled by javascript.

How to prevent user from changing a field on a Form.

I have a form and a report on the same page. The form is used to set criteria for the report. So after the criteria is entered on the form a button is clicked, which passes the criteria to the report. The form also displays some additional data based on the criteria, i.e. I do a query on the form.
The problem I'm having is preventing the user from changing the additional data which is displayed. I tried all the wizzard options; i.e. not updatable, not insertable etc. but the user can still change the data.
The only options seems to be writting some Java code for one of the triggers, but I haven't written any Java before.
So I was wondering if anyone has a non-Java solution for this problem or an example of a Java program I could use to solve the problem.
Thanks for any help
Larry

Hi,
Suppose you want Empno, Sal fields of Employee table as Query only and all other fields user updateable then
uncheck all the three check boxes
Mandatory , Updatable , Insertable under validation options for those fields.
When you run the form, these fields appear as text items in query mode and will appear labels once the querying done.
Hope it works

I need to call a batch file from java and pass arguments to that Batch file

Hi,
I need to call a batch file from java and pass arguments to that Batch file.
For example say: The batch file(test.bat) contains this command: mkdir
I need to pass the name of the directory to the batch file as an argument from My Java program.
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start test.bat");
How to pass argument to the .bat file from Java now ?
regards,
Krish
Edited by: Krish4Java on Oct 17, 2007 2:47 PM

Hi Turing,
I am able to pass the argument directly but unable to pass as a String.
For example:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start test.bat sample ");
When I pass it as a value sample, I am able to receive this value sample in the batch file. Do you know how to pass a String ?
String s1="sample";
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start test.bat s1 ");
s1 gets passed here instead of value sample to the batch file.
Pls let me know if you have a solution.
Thanks,
Krish

Attachments from Workflow to ABAP Webdynpro launched from UWL

Hi All,
You might have seen a recent post from me for sending attachments from ABAP Webdynpro to Workflow.
I could do that by just calling SAP_WAPI_ATTACHMENT_ADD. I didnt have to create an instance of the SOFM object
by passing the ATT_ID from this function module.
Now the next task of the workflow which is sent to UWL, automatically carries the attachements in the Workitem.
I didnt do binding from workflow container to Task container. (I dont know how!!)
But I need to get those attachments on my ABAP Webdynpro after it is launched from UWL.
For this I am using SAP_WAPI_GET_ATTACHEMENTS. But this FM is giving me the BOR reference.
How do use this to get the attachments displayed on my Webdynpro as links?
Thanks
Deb

Hi Debabra,
I have similar requirement where I want to add new attachment from Webdynpro abap to workflow and again next level want to view it in UWL in another Webdynpro abap from workflow.
I am trying to attach the document from Webdynpro to Workflow I used FM SAP_WAPI_ATTACHMENT_ADD and looks like it attached in workflow.
Can you please tell how the second part was solved where I want to attach document from workflow to Webdynpro abap
Thanks,

How to run a java class from a shell script with passing arguments

hi,
I have a jar with all the required classes. I was using ant to run the classes i needed.
But now i want to use a shell script to run the class, also the class accepts some arguments so when script is run it should accept arguments.
So can any one tell me how to set class paths, jar location and call the required class from shell script or batch file with passing arguments to it.
Thanks in advance.

Let's say that the order of arguments is as below
1. Jar file name
2. Classpath
Your shell script would look like this
java -cp $CLASSPATH:$2 -jar $1 I am assuming that your jar file has the required main-class entry in its manifest. Note that $1...$9 represent the arguments to this shell script.
The same goes for a batch file
java -cp %CLASSPATH%;%2 -jar %1

How to pass arguments from PAPI to the process

Can any one tell me How to pass arguments from PAPI to the process.

The link Creating a new work item instance in a process using PAPI shows how to create instances on PAPI and pass in the variable information as they are being created.
Provide some additional detail if you're interested in seeing how to pass in variable information using PAPI for scenarios other than instance creation.
