Passing builtin arguments to a report deployed as a portlet

I've got a report deployed as a portlet on a page. I want to be able to set the built-in parameter arguments such as orderbycol_1 and orderby_ord_1 directly without using the show interface call. Ideally I want to pass these parameters as part as the URL for the page (http://myserver.com/portal/page?_pageid=6,3,6_23&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL.....etc.)
This is because I want the report to appear in its page portlet and not in a new window using the parameters I passed into it. An HTML portlet with an iFrame containing the URL link (...JH_REPORT.show?p_arg_names=_show_header&p_arg_values=NO etc. etc.) is not a good enough workaround because I have embedded page links within the report data and the iFrame will cause me to have a page within a page. The main driving reason behind this is that I wish to display custom column headings in my report portlet that if clicked on will change the sort order of the report. I can get this to work if the report appears in show mode in a new window, but not as a portlet within a page.
I know how to do this with custom portlets - I can simply use the preference path to pull these parameters out from the URL.

John

I've now viewed the HTML source in the 'customize' view of my report portlet and noted all the parameters used. I generated a URL based on all of these parameters, e.g.,
http://myserver.com/portal/page&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL&_type=portlet&_providerid=904735153&_portletid=204&_backurl=http://myserver.com/pls/portal/url/PAGE/TESTPAGES/JH_FORM_REP_INTEGRATION&_mode=2&_referencepath=403765_JH_SORT_REPORT2_904735153&p_arg_names=_orderby_col_1&p_arg_values=DATE_OF_PURCHASE&p_arg_names=_orderby_ord_1&p_arg_values=DESC
and loaded the URL.
I get the following weird behaviour. If I launch the URL then the report does not change its output on the first attempt.
However, clicking on the 'Customize' link shows that the orderbycol_1 and orderbtord_1 values have changed! Clicking on OK/Cancel takes me back to the page with the portlet on and the data is now updated! In fact, just hitting refresh on the main page forces the report to execute correctly.
Is this a caching issue? What is the workaround?
I have attempted to place all these hidden values into the report portlet (before page section) and using a custom layout, added a a javascript function that would submit the hidden form passing a value dependent on which hyperlink I clicked (the link relating to the column I am wishing to sort on and in what order). It suffers from the same issue.
I am so close to getting this to work!! Argh!

Pass an argument from external jsx to html panel?

Hi everyone,
Can you please tell me if it's possible somehow to listen to event from the external jsx in html panel? What I'm trying to do is to pass an argument from JSX to HTML Panel and to update
the panel with it.
Many thanks,
Sergey

Hi Sergey!
What I was suggesting privately to you (I report this here for the others' sake) is to use soon-to-be-released CEP5 technology: http://blogs.adobe.com/cssdk/2014/04/introducing-cep-5.html
Chiefly, the part that says:
Call from ExtendScript into HTML DOM: Most of the currently supported Adobe apps (including but not only Photoshop CC and Illustrator CC) will include a new ExternalObject which provides an API that allows developers to dispatch events from ExtendScript to the JavaScript/HTML5
But we have to wait for the next update of CC apps to support it!

Unrelated data in master detail sections of a custom BIP report deployed in R12 EBS

We have a custom Master Detail BIP report generated by calling XDO APIs from a custom Java concurrent program (common_report_attachment) . This Java concurrent program is called from another custom concurrent program (po_validation) that processes a batch of POs in a single concurrent request.
PO_Validation Program (processes a batch of POs per request) -> Java Concurrent Program -> BI Publisher Report APIs
BIP report generates data for master detail sections based on two sql queries (given below) that have 'where' clause based on a common external parameter "P_TRX_HDR_ID".
NOTE: No explicit data link is used NOR an output column of parent query is used in the where clause of detail query as bind parameter.

Issue: Sometimes when the parent concurrent request runs for a batch with multiple POs the report generated for the last PO has inconsistent data in the master and detail sections. To elaborate, the detail section is having correct data pertaining to the PO identified by the parameter "P_TRX_HDR_ID". However, the master section is having data pertaining to the previous PO processed from the same batch.
This issue is not occurring consistently and is not reproducible at will. I
'm suspecting this could be because of not having data link between the queries but confirm from someone who has experienced this issue.

is there any way from the page, can we pass the some values, which can identify the page level data?
if so pass the parameter to BIP report query.

Multi pass bursting of a Crystal report on business view with a bex query

In BO CMC, we have a group with a list of user.
The idea is to burst (via the multi pass bursting method) a Crystal report for this list of user with the constraint that this report should only contains data of the store linked to the user.
Our data comes from a SAP BI cube.
The link between a Store and a User comes from an other system.
We have build a bex query and use it as a data source of a Crystal Data Foundation.
In this Data Foundation we have an other table storing the user ID and the Store ID.
These 2 tables are linked in this Data Foundation on the Store ID.
Business element and Business View have also been created on top of this Data Foundation.
We have impletemented a filter in this Data Foundation to filter out data on the user id. This user id will be filled when bursting the report for all requested users thanks to this function :.
As a user is linked to one store, the data foundation will filter the data coming from the bex query and show only the data of the user's store.
We have build a crystal report using the business view created above as data source. We have made some test on a small amount of data and it works, data are correctly filter out and the reports shows only the data from one store.
But the problem is that we have a lot of stores (more than 600) and doing this way implies that the bex query will always return the data for all the stores as the filter will occurs in the data foundation and not on the bex query.
We need to find a way to make the bex query returning only the data of the store linked to the user for which we burst the report.
As we have more than 600 stores this was an idea to avoid managing more than 600 under BO groups or more than 600 different filters.
This solution do not work when the bex query result set is too large.
Does anyone has an idea on how to implement such "dynamic" filter in the bex query? The parameter is the user ID but the filter to be applied on the bex query is on the store ID.
We are under BO XI release 2, Crystal XI Release 2 and we have installed the BO release 2 integration kit for SAP

How does one pass import parameters to a report within a method?

Hello all,
Well how does one pass import parameters to a report which is within a method ...end method.
for example :
method 123
SUBMIT reportname using selection '1000'
endmethod .
Here we need to pass values into the selection screen and run the report for those values.
The values are say 'ABC' ( tablename "DEF" and field name "HIJ" ).
I hope the question is clear, awaiting your response
Thanks and Regards,
Sandeep.

Go to SE24
Parameters: Give the Parameter name, Typing method is "Type" is the domain type that u are selecting, say for e.g : Parameter is "P_CONT" , its associated type "CHAR32" etc
For Select Options: Parameter name say "S_CUST", Type"importing". For this you need to give an associated type which must be created as "TABLE TYPE " in SE11. That table type needs to have a "LINE TYPE" .
LINE TYPE is a Structure created with components "SIGN, OPTION, LOW & HIGH" for select-Options.
NOTE: for a Table type related to Customer data fields "say KUNNR", the line type created must have the Component Type and data Type corresponding to the Data Element associated with "KUNNR" ;i.e: "CHAR" etc.
See if this is clear to you or revert back in case of any Confusion.

Calling a function on an object passed as argument

Hi everyone,
i'm trying to call an actionscript function on an object passed as argument to a c function. Here are how I do :
I have a class named test_class implemented as
package
     public class test_class
          public var bliblou:int;
and a C function that have to modify the bliblou var of an test_class object passed as argument. Here is my function :
static AS3_Val test_obj_param( void* self, AS3_Val args )
     AS3_Val obj;
     AS3_ArrayValue( args, "AS3ValType ", &obj );
     AS3_Set( obj, AS3_String("bliblou"), AS3_Int( 123456 ) );
     return AS3_Null();
Then I call the function in my actionscript main function like this :
var loader:CLibInit = new CLibInit;
var lib:Object = loader.init();
var test:test_class = new test_class();
lib.test_obj_param( test );
But when the test_obj_param is trying to run, I obtain an error saying "unable to access a propriety of a null object".
What am I doing wrong ? Is it possible to do what I try to (calling a function on an object passed as argument) ?
Thanks in advance

After a long trip to Alchemy possibilities and a lot of tests I have finally found a solution to my question.
Instead of using AS3ArrayValue to get my objet, I use the AS3 function shift on the args array to get my object. Here is how I do
static AS3_Val test_obj_param( void* self, AS3_Val args )
     AS3_Val emptyParams = AS3_Array("");
     AS3_Val obj = AS3_CallS( "shift", args, emptyParams );
     AS3_SetS( obj, "bliblou", AS3_Int( 123456 ) );
     AS3_Release(emptyParams);
     return AS3_NULL();
Maybe there is a bug in the AS3ValType getter.

Notification: "The report deployment process in in progress"

Hi All,
We're implementing Service manager and we have an issue with the reporting management packs.
Upon opening the Service manager console we're getting the error:
"The report deployment process in in progress. To determine when management pack deployment is complete, see the procedure in the service manager deployment guide. You can view reports after management packs have been deployed."
I've consulted the guide and the MPsyncjobs tasks runs and completes in under 1 minute, the Get-SCDWJob command returns the following:
BatchId Name Status CategoryName StartTime
6490 MPSyncJob Not Started Synchronization
6482 DWMaintenance Not Started Maintenance
6488 Load.Common Not Started Load
6484 Load.OMDWDataMart Not Started Load
6485 Load.CMDWDataMart Not Started Load
6492 Extract_DW_SBCSMDW Not Started Extract
6486 Transform.Common Not Started Transform
In the GUI under "data warehouse jobs" the job MPSyncJob is Not started but in the details section under Job Progress it's stuck at 48/48 and looks like it's running.
I'm new to System Center so if anyone could point me into the right direction to work out how to get reporting working that would be great.
Thanks.

Passing an argument in the SQL Query of a View Object

Hi,
It is possible that this question has been asked before, however I have searched for a half an hour in the forums and couldn't find a solution.
I am also new to using JDeveloper and ADF. Here's the situation:
I am developing an application that doesn't have to do anything else then displaying data from a database. Pretty straightforward actually.
Now I have made a vew pages with several collapsible panels (af:showDetailHeader) and have setup the datasources (or so I thought).
All that remains is:
- drag & drop a view object, from the application module that I created, onto the collabsible panels, so a child element gets created which displays data from the database.
- hack the layout so it looks like I want it to.
The problem that I have is the following:
I am using a 'User'-class that contains values I need when quering the database.
That User-object is part of a user-session.
What I want, for example, is to use the 'getPersonId()' function of that User-object and pass the argument to a SQL-query of a certain view-object.
The query would become something like:
'SELECT * FROM people WHERE people.personId = :someNumber'.
Now I've read some stuff about variable binding, which is complemented by something like (backing bean code):
getDBTransaction().getRootApplicationModule().getACertainViewObject().setWhereClauseParameter(1, user.getPersonId());
The examples I have found that might match my wishes are not using business components, but EJB's. I am having difficulty with understanding the 'how'-part of variable binding.
Also, I do not know enough of ADF to be able to create a situation like:
'User loads page, collapsible panel 1 is fully shown, the others are undisclosed.'
(meaning, that for panel1 a query has been executed.)
'User clicks on collapsible panel 2 which triggers a backingbean that somehow retrieves data from a view object'.
I would appreciate any help that somebody can give.
If it is not too much of a problem, please provide code snippets in case you have a solution. I am new to ADF :(.
-edit
I am using JDeveloper 10.1.3.3.0 in case that is of any importance.

Hello Stijn,
I didn't think about a referenced bean rule in the faces-config.
I added it right away and I am now able to set parameters of a View-object, not using a page button and before the page loads. You made my day!
In case anyone ever reads this post again, the summary of how to generate a table based on a View-object using dynamic parameters.:
1a: Go to faces-config.xml -> Overview tab'
1b: Go to the menuitem "Referenced Beans"
1c: Click on 'new' and select the existing bean you want to access data from and input a name. In this example I use name="user"
2: Create a View-object using the wizard.
2a: Specify the query you want in the menuitem 'SQL Statement'.
Add the 'parameters' you want to. You will have something like:
"SELECT * FROM someTable WHERE table.columnname LIKE :someArgument".
- hint: if you want the result to become something like:
"SELECT * FROM someTable WHERE table.columnname LIKE '%someArgument%'" then you have to add the '%'-characters in your code itself (read: someClass.setParameter("%" + someArgument);).
2b: In the menuitem 'Bind Variables' you have to add the variables you are referring to in the query. If you look at the query in 2a, then you have to add a variable with name "someArgument".
2c: Add the View-object to a Application Module (create one if nessecairy).
3a: Open a .jsp(x) file. Drag the View-object created in step 2 from the 'Data Controls'-pane to the page.
3b: Click on the '+' of the View-object in the 'Data Controls'-pane and open 'Operations' and drag 'ExecuteWithParams' to your page as a button.
3c: We do not want to use a button, the action has to be executed immediatly. So In the page source remove the lines that were created after dropping 'ExecuteWithParams'.
3d: Right-click on the page and select "Go to Page Definition".
3e: Go to the action id that is called 'ExecuteWithParams#', where # is a number.
Change the id to something useful.
3f: Change the NDValue so it corresponds with the value you want.
Example:
<action id="getAddressData" IterBinding="AddressesView1Iterator"
InstanceName="MyHRServiceModuleDataControl.AddressView1"
DataControl="MyHRServiceModuleDataControl" RequiresUpdateModel="true" Action="95">
<NamedData NDName="someArgument" NDType="java.lang.String"
NDValue="#{user.personId}"/>
</action>
Note: It is possible to use the value of a Backing Bean in NDValue.
Note 2: user is the bean I referred to in the faces-config.xml!
3g: Under the executables item, add an 'invokeAction' to pass the parameter to the View-object before your JSP-file loads:
<executables>
<invokeAction Binds="getAddressData"
id="loadAddressDataOfPersonIdInSession"
Refresh="prepareModel"/>
Thank Stijn Haus for this :)

How to pass an argument to a standalone java class in JDeveloper

To the experienced:
In JDeveloper when you write a java class with a main() method that takes no argument, you just right click the java file and select Run to run the program. But suppose the main() method takes arguments, how do you pass your arguments to the program? This is especially a problem as I use the studio version of JDeveloper (Versions 10.1.3.4 and 11.1.1.3) that each uses the version of JDK bundled with it, rather than the JDK (which is yet another different version) installed at the OS level of the PC.
Many thanks for your help!
Newman

Hi, Puthanampatti,
Suppose a java class has a main() method:
<pre>
public class FormatTerm {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String year = args[0];
String semester = args[1];
</pre>
What I want to know is how to pass the arguments when invoking FormatTerm within JDeveloper (i.e., without going out of JDeveloper to invoke FormatTerm on a command line in DOS). I would appreciate it very much if you know how to do that in JDeveloper 11g (I use Version 11.1.1.3) and could help me out.
Thank you very much for your help!

Passing multiple parameters between two report portlets on the same page

Hi,
I want to pass multiple parameters between two report portlets on the same page.
I have been succussful passing a single parameter between two portlets. The
following are the steps :
(1) Created first report based on the query
SELECT htf.anchor('http://192.168.0.84:7778/servlet/page?&_pageid=97&_dad=portal30&_schema=portal30&_mode=3&dept_code='||DEPTNO,DEPTNO) Department, ename FROM EMP;
(2) Created 2nd report
select * from EMP where DEPTNO = :dept_code
(3) Added pl/sql code before display page on the 2nd report
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(g
et_value('dept_code'),10)));
(4) Created a page and added these reports as portlets.
Sofar it works fine for one parameter (deptno) . Now I want to add one more
parameter say empno to my first report query and would like to pass both the
parameters deptno and empno to the 2nd report. Please tell me how to pass multiple parameters ?
Thanks
Asim

Hi,
You will have to do the same thing
The select will be like this
SELECT htf.anchor('http://toolsweb.us.oracle.com:2000/servlet/page?_pageid=97&_dad=mb&_schema=mybugs&_mode=3&dept_code='||DEPTNO||'&empno='||empno,DEPTNO) Department,ename
FROM EMP
In the additional plsql code do the same for empno like this
mybugs.wwv_name_value.replace_value(l_arg_names,l_arg_values, p_reference_path||'.dept_code',mybugs.wwv_standard_util.string_to_table2(nvl(get_value('dept_code'),10)));
mybugs.wwv_name_value.replace_value(l_arg_names,l_arg_values, p_reference_path||'.empno',mybugs.wwv_standard_util.string_to_table2(get_value('empno')));
Thanks,

How to pass the value from Sub report to main report

I have un report(mainreport) within a subreport(subreport).
With reporting services, how to pass the value from Sub report to main report?
thanks

Hi Alebet,
With reporting services to pass values from sub report in to main report is not supported directly.
But there are some workarounds through which you can get this .
There are two ways to get this.
1- Put your sub report query into some table. i mean to say through the subreport query get some temporary table.
2- Using this temporary tables data write some Scala function in the data base.
3- Now in your main report query return this scala function as a column.
4- Extract the column value where ever you want in your main report which is getting calculated from the subreport query. so you will be getting the values returned from the subreport in the main report.
This will definitely work fine as i have done some report in this way.
Another way of doing is that
1- prepare another data set with the same query as in sub report in the data tab.
2- then refer this 2nd dataset in your main report .
But better way will be the top one.
Anyway please let me know if you get the solution.
Thanks

Pass value from previous interactive report to create record form

Hi All,
I am an APEX newbie and have an APEX 3.2.1 application that is still being developed that is working reasonably well. The problem I am having is the following:
I have 3 interactive reports. These are defined on their respective tables, namely, clients, servers, and databases. By clicking on a client name, it shows the servers that are associated with that client. By then clicking on a server, it shows me the databases that are on that specific server. I am able to perform updates, deletes and inserts on all of these.
In order to say create a server, i click on the name of a client and it brings me to the Server Interactive report to see the associated servers. I then click a "Create a Server" link that brings me to the create a server page. The issue i am having is that I would like to have the previous value of the primary key (Client ID) passed from the Server interactive report to the form where i create a new server so that the client ID is already populated in the Create a Server form. Presently, the only way i am able to do this is by defining the client ID column on the Create a server form as a select list and displaying ALL the different clients. By selecting a client name, this list then returns the client id associated with that client name. This is a potential source of confusion for the users and it would be much better if the client ID was already in a text field that is disabled and all they have to do is fill out the other fields of the form.
I would greatly appreciate any help in this matter as I am fighting project deadlines. I have seen other examples that are similar, but i am still experiencing difficulty.
Thanks,
Tim

Hi,
I am still very confused as to how to get this to work.
I cannot have the value passed by clicking the client ID link from the Server Interactive Report in order to populate the Client ID field in the Add Server Form. It MUST be done by clicking an Add Server button that will pass the value as well as take me to the Add Server Form. So far, I have only been able to have the value show up if i click the client ID column on the Interactive report that has a column link defined as follows:
Name VALUE
P9_CLIENTID #CLIENTID#
However, when i do have the value passed this way i receive the following error message which proves that it is not saving the god damn state!
ORA-01400: cannot insert NULL into ("USERS"."NEW_SERVERS"."ClientID")
Error Unable to process row of table NEW_SERVERS.
Even if the value appears in the text field, it isnt really there!
How to make it know the value is there is beyond me.
I dont know what to think of this situation. I have tried all types of settings and I have a feeling it will be 2010 before this is resolved.
It is really frustrating, it has been days i am trying to get this to work...
Thanks,

Passing SQL-Parameters to Oracle-Reports from java

hello,
i want to write an application in the following way:
on a java-frontend an user can select values for different
parameters. these values should be to transferred to the sql-
query of the reports rdf file. what is the syntax of an
parameter passed from java to oracle reports.
does this work with runtime.exec()... ?
does anybody have an example.
any help would be very appreciated.
greetings

In order to pass the parameters to report rdf, you can create user parameters in the oracle report builder, hook up the parameters with query. For example, you can create user parameter P_DEPTNO, then create a sql query: select * from dept where deptno = :P_DEPTNO. When you run this report, you give P_DEPTNO=10 as parameter, the rdf will generate report that only prints out department 10's information.
Once you have this kind of report created, you have several ways to achieve what you want.
1. use rwrun60. In your java program, you can invoke rwrun60 via runtime.exec(cmd) where cmd = rwrun60 report=dept.rdf userid=scott/tiger@orcl destype=file desformat=pdf desname=dept.pdf p_deptno=<value_from_java_app>
2. similarly, use rwcli60. the cmd would be:
cmd = rwcli60 server=repserver report=dept.rdf userid=scott/tiger@orcl destype=file desformat=pdf desname=dept.pdf p_deptno=<value_from_java_app>
3. use rwcgi60. Instead of using runtime.exec, you should use java URL object to run the report in the web environment.
option 2 & 3 takes advantage of powerful functionality of reports server, and it is much more scale than option 1.
