Passing date parameters to a custom folder

Is there any simple way to pass date parmeters to a custom folder?

I think I recognize a question very similar to this recently.
And it's the same situation, in that - what do you mean by passing a date?
I understand it to mean that you want a user - at run time - to enter a date or date range that will then return only that data from a custom folder.
1. You could have all data returned (ie: no date conditions applied to the SQL) and then filter using the Disco tool (ie: plus, viewer, desktop).
2. If you want to 'pass' those date parameters into the actual folder in the EUL, then there is a method that you can use using functions you write.
3. Or you could code the actual database SQL view with some kind of hard-coded date parameters (ie: SYSDATE - 30), etc.

Problem with passing date parameters in cursor

Is there any problem in passing date parameters and like clause as below
CURSOR eftcursor(start_date DATE, end_date DATE, where_clause varchar2) IS
select * from r_records
where created_date between start_date and end_date and description like where_clause;
and in the open statement
select to_date('01/06/2010 00:00:00', 'dd/mm/yyyy hh24:mi:ss') into startDate from dual;
select to_date('01/07/2010 00:00:00', 'dd/mm/yyyy hh24:mi:ss') into endDate from dual;
str := '%something%aaaaa%';
open eftcursor(startDate ,endDate , str);
Do i need to do any kind of conversion in the cursor where clause or when i am passing the parameter in open statement.

Almora wrote:

You might consider whether you really need an explicit cursor though. An implicit cursor is easier to code and performs better.

Pass date parameters to dataprocessor in Java

Hello I have created java class to execute data templates, but I have problem when I pass date parameters as it was from application dataprocessor fails without any error message and does not return any data (except output xml file header). How to pass date parameters correctly?
import java.sql.*;
import oracle.apps.xdo.dataengine.DataProcessor;
import com.sun.java.util.collections.Hashtable;
class oraConn
public static void main (String args []) throws SQLException
System.out.println("Start");

Connection conn =
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:user/pass@host:port:sid");
try {

dataProcessor.processData();
} catch (Exception e)
{System.out.println ("Data procesor Fail.");}
} catch (SQLException ex) {
System.out.println ("\n*** SQLException caught ***\n");
while (ex != null) {
System.out.println ("SQLState: " + ex.getSQLState ());
System.out.println ("Message: " + ex.getMessage ());
System.out.println ("Vendor: " + ex.getErrorCode ());
ex.printStackTrace();
ex = ex.getNextException ();
System.out.println ("");
}}}}

Found out solution to my problem. I needed to import date not as string but as Date type.

Date Parameter in Discoverer Custom Folder

Hi All,
We have a requirement where i need to filter sql query data in the where condition as below.
WHERE 1=1
AND TRANSACTION_DATE BETWEEN :PARAMETER_DATE-90 AND :PARAMETER_DATE-9
Can anyone of you help me on achieving that in discoverer.
Thank You

Hi,
to do that inside the custom folder you can use DB contexts, read the following :

thats your correct procedure - but NOT CORRECT ISSUE.
You should use bulk collect with limit clause and forall clause to do it faster!!! Or Merge clause.

Passing DATE parameters to Oracle Stored Procedures using ADO

Does anyone know how can I pass a date parameter to an Oracle
Stored Procedure? The IN parameter of the procedure is of type
DATE and the ADO parameter is of type DBDate (I've tried Date
and DBTimeStamp,too). The execution freezes at "Cmd.Execute".
Can anyone suggest a solution?
Thanx for any tips

As far as I know the documentation on CR & stored procedures says that the REF CURSOR has to be a strongly bound one.
Could you go into a little more detail? Do you mean I should put a multi-valued parameter into a REF CURSOR? Can you post some code snippets here?

How to Pass Multiple Parameter to Discoverer Custom Folder Created in Admin

Hi,
I have done as describe in doc id (metalink) note 304192.1 and it's ok.
Now, my scope is to use the parameter declared in SETPARAMS not with the "=" condition but with "IN CLAUSE" (multipe values).
for example (SQL Inspector):
SELECT i106116 as E106116,i106117 as E106117,SUM(i106118) as E106118_SUM
FROM ( SELECT DS_COMMESSA AS i106116, DS_SCENARIO AS i106117, DS_VALUE AS i106118 FROM (select ds_commessa, ds_scenario, DS_VALUE
from dw_ods.ods_mbo_commessa
where DS_TIPO_COSTO='COSTI MEDI'
and ds_label='DIR'
and cd_scenario in (1,2)
and ds_commessa IN DW_ODS.SETPARAM.GET_PARAM1
union all
select 'Totale' as ds_commessa, ds_scenario, sum(DS_VALUE)
from dw_ods.ods_mbo_commessa
where DS_TIPO_COSTO='COSTI MEDI'
and ds_label='DIR'
and cd_scenario in (1)
and ds_commessa IN DW_ODS.SETPARAM.GET_PARAM1
group by ds_scenario
) CUO106102 ) o106102
WHERE (1 IN (DW_ODS.SETPARAM.SET_PARAM1(:"Commessa")))
GROUP BY i106116, i106117;
where the parameter "commessa" is used with "IN" operator.
Also tried to modifiy the SET_PARAM1 and GET_PARAM1 in order to use a "table of varchar2" ... but with no succes.
Help please

Rod,
for the first "problem" I find the solution on metalink (note 304192.1) and works fine (also combining SET and GET together)... otherwise I don't know how use this "workaround"...
for the multiple values on a single parameter (for example: Month='Jan,'Feb') I have tried to understand how DISCO pass these values to the SET function (I suppose like an array of varchar2) but don't work. After the first values (Jan) the reports stop... The problem in not how stored the values but understan how DISCO "pass/manage" these values (Jan,Feb)... Can u help me?
my actual SETPARAMS package body is (like metalink):
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY SETPARAM AS
FUNCTION SET_PARAM1(P1 IN VARCHAR2) RETURN NUMBER IS
BEGIN
param1 := P1;
return 1;
END;
FUNCTION GET_PARAM1 RETURN VARCHAR2 AS
BEGIN
return param1;
END;
FUNCTION SET_PARAM_MBO(p_anno IN VARCHAR2) RETURN NUMBER IS
BEGIN
anno := p_anno;
return 1;
END;
FUNCTION GET_PARAM_MBO RETURN VARCHAR2 AS
BEGIN
return anno;
END;
END SETPARAM;

Passing multiple parameters into Custom Folder...

Hi,
We have created a Package as per Metalink Note:304192 to pass parameters to the Custom folder in Disc admin. It is working for some simple sql custom folders. But not for the Custom folder which has some subqueries and inline views. Ex:
This is my query in Admin...
SELECT ENAME, SALARY FROM EMP_HISTORY
WHERE EMP_NO IN (SELECT EMP_NO FROM EMP_WAGES
WHERE WAGE_MONTH = TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'MMYYYY')
AND JOIN_DATE BETWEEN APPS.GET_DATE_PARAM1
AND APPS.GET_DATE_PARAM2;
GET_DATE_PARAM function returns the Package variables which were set in Disc Desktop like below.
Created worksheet in Desktop with parameters, p_begin_date and p_end_date and conditions:
1 = SET_DATE_PARAM1(:P_BEGIN_DATE) AND
1 = SET_DATE_PARAM2(:P_END_DATE).
SET_DATE_PARAM Fucntions set Package variables for that seesion at runtime for the related parameters entered by the user. After creating the conditions, the Sql created by Discoverer shows like this:
SELECT O123.ENAME, O123.SALARY
FROM
(SELECT ENAME, SALARY FROM EMP_HISTORY
WHERE EMP_NO IN (SELECT EMP_NO FROM EMP_WAGES
WHERE WAGE_MONTH = TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, MMYYYY)
AND JOIN_DATE BETWEEN APPS.GET_DATE_PARAM1
AND APPS.GET_DATE_PARAM2
) O123
WHERE (1 = SET_DATE_PARAM1(:"P_BEGIN_DATE")) AND
(1 = SET_DATE_PARAM2(:"P_END_DATE"))
So now the problem is: GET_PARAM functions are being executed first rather than SET_PARAM function. So it is not returning any data. If I remove Subquery it works great. So Is there any way to force the optimizer that it executes the Outer condition first and then rest of the inside joins/subqueries/filters ???
Thanks,
Ram.

Hi,
There are many ways of doing this. Personally, I prefer to use database contexts as these are more efficient and flexible than other methods. You can access your parameters in a view using SYS_CONTEXT so it avoids a context switch between PL/SQL and SQL database engines.
The steps to set this up are:
1. CREATE OR REPLACE CONTEXT EUL_DISCO USING your_package;
2. CREATE OR REPLACE your_package containing the following functions:
FUNCTION set_context(p_name VARCHAR2,
p_value VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2
IS
BEGIN
dbms_session.set_context('EUL_DISCO', p_name, p_value);
RETURN p_value;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN RETURN 'FALSE';
END set_context;
-- show xxmod_disco context
FUNCTION show_context(p_name VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2
IS
BEGIN
RETURN SYS_CONTEXT('EUL_DISCO', p_name);
END show_context;
3. You can define your parameters in one worksheet by creating calculations calling the set_context function, (you will have to convert into VARCHAR as context can only be VARCHAR) e.g.
set_context('START_DATE', TO_CHAR(:start_date_param))
You can define as many parameters as you want.
4. In another sheet (or even another workbook), you can access those parameters using the show_context function or if you are using a custom folder or view you can use TO_DATE(SYS_CONTEXT('START_DATE')) to obtain the value of the date parameter.
Using this approach you can implement a set_effective_date workbook, so that all your workbooks pick up the effective date set up for your session. This enables you to implement similar effective data functionality as in HR applications.
Hope that helps,
Rod West

Discover custom folder parameter

Greetings everyone,
I`m working with Oracle Discoverer Release 3.1 Admin and User Edition. I would like to pass parameters to a custom folder, have followed the steps specified in Doc ID: Note:282249.1 and Doc ID: Note:304192.1, everything works fine but when i close the workbook (User Edition) and reopen again i get the following message:
"1 = SET_PARAM(:PARAMETER)
Do u want to substitute another condition, ignore this message, ignore all missing items, or cancel opening this workbook", when i choose any of this option the conditon 1 = SET_PARAM(:PARAMETER) dissapeare, so i have to create it again.
By the way, i have saved all the changes before closing the workbook. What could be happeing.??
Thanks beforehand
Jorge

Jorge.
I know if I don't say it ... someone else will. So let me be the first.
Maybe it's because you're still using v3.1.
All kidding aside, I figure v3.1's got to something like 5 years old now? If you could patch up to atleast 4.148 - which is still extremely old, but pretty stable, you may have more luck.
What I'm wondering is if that note applies to v3.1 or is it something it simply won't support (ie: there were many changes made to the actual EUL and what it supports between various v3 and v4 versions).

Pass additional parameters to AII

Hi,
Is it possible to pass additional parameters for Serial Number Request through Name Value pair in a xml? If so then please cite an example.
The scenario requirement is 3rd party non SAP systems will be requesting Serial Numbers from AII via SAP XI. However additional parameters will also be sent in Name Value pair for certain validations by SAP XI.

no, you can't do that.
you could create your own class to extend your
interactiveobjects and pass additional parameters in your custom
mouse handlers, but it's even easier, in your situation, to use
movieclips to dispatch your mouse events and define whatever
properties you need to use in functionName() as movieclip
properties and retrieve them using
MovieClip(e.currentTarget).whateverProperty.

I am new to Flash and AS3 language. I would like to pass

function functionName(e:MouseEvent,str:String,i:int)
I receive coercion of value or expecting boolean...
Can this be done or have I not supplied the correct
order?

How scheduler job in HPUX and Data Parameters

Hi guys, is there a way to invoke a PAS procedure from an external scheduler?
Anyone have an procedure example that passes date parameters for the load data procedure?
Thank you,
Rgrds, Vitoriano

Hi Luis,
On how to call PAS procedures you might want to check the following thread: Re: Run procedure in Application Server from the command line
Regarding the date parameters, what are you trying to achive? You can anyway get very good ideas from the wfmde_setup.pro file, used for E&A. There you have some code to turn the actual system date into a PAS parameter.

Passing parameter to a query in Discoverer Admiin custome folder.

I am developing a report in which I need to paa in the request Id as parameter to display the user the data corresponding to that request Id. However the query is very complex and If I am enetering the request Id in Discoverer Desktop se as Condition for the workbook created the report takes a lot of time to generate. Is there any mechanism through which I can pass the parameter directly to the Custome folder query. As this will reduce my computation time since all the joins will be done only for the rows with that given request Id rather than for all the rows which is happenning correctly.
Thanks.

Hi,
Well there is no straight forward way to do that.
There is a work around to get that functionality by using outer tables or context.

What exactly is wrong with the results? Can you make the report include the gl_date so that you can see exactly what is being included?
The only way to troubleshoot this is to go back to basics. You have to be 100% certain that the parameter and calculations for the dates are working. You have granted execute permission over the function to your EUL owner - yes? What I did was create the function in a package owned by EUL_US then I had no issue with grants or permissions.
Also, gl_date is a DATE and not a string right? I ask because if it is not a date but a string then some dates might be left out.
Assuming you are 100% certain of the building blocks you should start by including only the gl_date and primary key from the table you are using. Once you are sure you are getting the right data you can start to add in more fields.
I do notice you are using E-Business Suite objects. I copied the code into my system where I am not using leasing. So I commented out the references to the 3 PN tables. I got 150 rows of data when I queried using the parameter and again when I hard coded the BETWEEN for the gl_date. You do have to make sure that your EUL owner has been granted SELECT right from all the tables and views used in your code and, if you intend to share this code with someone else, you will also need to have GRANT rights.
Try your code in a SQL tool such as TOAD and see what happens. Are you absolutely sure that every one of your transactions has an entry in the PN tables? This might be why you are not getting the results you expect. You could try, as I did, to comment those lines out and then see what happens.
Hope this has given you enough to solve your issue
Michael
