Passing parameters into ODI procedure step which has an OS command

Folks,
I have an ODI procedure step which does a directory listing for a specific directory. The command I am using is
cmd /C dir d:\local_dir /b > D:\dir_list.txt
I have put on the 'Command on Target' tab. This works fine
I want to remove the hardcoding for the directory references. I have tried the command
cmd /C dir '#src_dir' /b > D:\dir_list.txt
but when this executes it generates an ODI error 'Wrong process return code'
any suggestions?

I've figured it out. The issue was with using quotes in the value being passed into the variable. Once removed, it worked fine. Thanks for the assistance.
Regards.

Why I can't pass parameters into CR from VB6

I want to Pass parameters into crystal report from VB6.
But whatever I try, it don't work Fine,
always Show the message "This field name is not known".
Crystal Report::
Parameter: a.@cmpy;
                   b.@p1
formula:
a. If {?@cmpy} ="USA" or {?@cmpy} ="usa" then
      "This is test 1 sentences"
   else if {?@cmpy}="TWD" or {?@cmpy} = "twd" then
      "This is test 2 sentences"
b. if trim({?@p1})="1" then "This is test 3 sentences"
VB::
Public oApp As New CRAXDDRT.Application
Public oRpt As CRAXDDRT.Report
oRpt.ParameterFields(1).ClearCurrentValueAndRange
oRpt.ParameterFields(2).ClearCurrentValueAndRange
oRpt.ParameterFields(1).AddCurrentValue ("TWD")
oRpt.ParameterFields(2).AddCurrentValue ("1")
I had trid to use "IsCurrentValueSet" function to check whether parameter was set or not, and It responsed "Ture",so I so confused about it.
Anyone know about this??
ps. I had trid other way that change the formula indirectly, although it can work fine, but it isn't a right way to solve my problem.

I Find something.
First I tried to add parameter and wanted to see these value on Report.
So I inserted {?@cmpy} and {?@p1} into report, and used VB code
"oRpt.ParameterFields(1).AddCurrentValue ("TWD")" and "oRpt.ParameterFields(2).AddCurrentValue ("1")",
then ran the process, but it didn't display any value on report,
so why it couldn't pass value into parameter??
then I tried other way which was to add new parameter, and used the same way to pass
value into parameter, then it can display value on report.
So the different between these is {?@cmpy} and {?@p1} which come from
Stores Procedure.
While I set Database in crystal report, set all value into Store Procedure's
parameter(the window about "Enter Parameter Values"), then it automatic come out the DB columns and parameter(SP parameter)
, course include {?@cmpy} and {?@p1}.
Do this problem cause my question?
Can we pass value into parameter which come from SP parameter??
Can we use these parameter into forumla??

Passing parameters into an URL Services portlet

Hi,
is there any way to pass parameters into an URL Services portlet ? I want to give the user the ability to set a preference for which sections of an XML file should be displayed. The preference should be passed into the XMLFilter which should add these parameters as XSLT variables to the stylesheet. Is this possible ?
Cheers,
Ernst

As of now we do not have provision to pass parameters to the portlet dynamically. However, if required, at most could be used is headerTrim tag and footerTrim tag. If you want to discard some data from mid of the file, its not supported.

How to run dynamic SQL from an ODI procedure step

I am on ODI 11.1.1.6.4. From within an ODI IKM step I have no problem running a procedure step like the following which calls a pl/sql procedure to get SQL text then later runs that code. Is there anyway to do the same from within an ODI procedure? I've tried a couple of variations and can not seem to get the parsing levels to resolve within a procedure like they resolve from within a KM step.
<@
/* Setup Java variables */
String out_SQL = "";
try
java.sql.Connection sourceConnection = odiRef.getJDBCConnection("SRC");
String sqltxt = "{call set_sql(?)}";
java.sql.CallableStatement pstmt = sourceConnection.prepareCall(sqltxt);
     try
     pstmt.registerOutParameter( 1, java.sql.Types.VARCHAR);
     pstmt.execute();
out_SQL = pstmt.getString(1);
     catch(java.sql.SQLException ex)
          errMessage = ex.getMessage();
          errMessage = errMessage.replace("'","");
     finally
          pstmt.close();
catch(java.lang.Exception e)
     errMessage = e.getMessage();
     errMessage = errMessage.replace("'","");
@>
BEGIN
-- The SQL that I want to run
<@
out.println(out_SQL);
@>
-- Error handling
<@ if ( out_SQL.length() ==0 ) { @>
     raise_application_error(-20101, '<@=errMessage@>');
<@ } else { @>
     dbms_output.put_line('Successful.');
<@ } @>
END;
------

Please understand that I know that I can do this all within PL/SQL -- I am explicitly doing it the way I have outlined because I want to better understand the parsing levels/behavior within ODI procedures and I want to understand why KMs steps behave differently.
Another observation -- putting this all within a pl/sql block prevents ODI from properly capturing insert/update/delete row counts like it would if it were running a SQL statement.
So the question remains -- is there a way to run a dynamic SQL statement in an ODI procedure where the SQL statement is generated from within an Oracle procedure call and then run as SQL within an ODI procedure step? Best would be if there is an example of how this can be done.

Pass parameters into CellRenderer

Hello!
I want to pass parameters into CellRenderer.
How can I do that?

Found solution!
Create method, that set my Bean in CellRenderer, in what I keep my values, and call this method when create my CellRenderer. Than Use MyBean inside CellRenderer when it render cell.
JSP:
<hbj:tableView id="NewTable" model="LotsBean.ModelLots"
          design="TRANSPARENT"
          headerVisible="false"
          footerVisible="false"
          fillUpEmptyRows="false"
          selectionMode="NONE"
          visibleFirstRow="1"
          rowCount="16"
          width="100%" >
          <% MyCellRenderer MyCell = new MyCellRenderer();

Passing parameters into the Oracle form

I want to pass some paramaters into the .fmx file which i invoke through the applet. like say, in the following line
serverArgs="module=abc001.fmx userid=user/pwd@dbuser useSDI=no"
i want to pass parameters in the following manner:
serverArgs="module=abc001.fmx(param1,param2) userid=user/pwd@dbuser useSDI=no"
since one cannot pass parameters to a .fmx file before invoking it, it does not seem possible.
But is there a sort of a workaround? A java wrapper for oracle forms?? so that i pass parametrs to the java class and it passes this info to the form.
i need to pass these parameters because these param1,param2 are the username/password for my oracle forms-based application which implements its own in-house user validation logic and i need to display the menu in the applet based on the user without prompting him for this application username/password
thanks
Any help will be highly appreciated.

In the form FNDRSRUN which is the Standard Request Submission form there are parameters CHAR1-CHAR5, NUMBER1-NUMBER5, and DATE1-DATE5. I was wondering if i populate the parameter NUMBER1 with my value how can I access this parameter when the form is brought up. This is more of an applications setup issue I will be creating a function that calls the FNDRSRUN form this function will force this form to use a single request not a request group. In the request setups there is a parameter. When I set up the request parameter I have to select a value set and then for Default Type I can select Constant, Profile, SQL Statement, or Segment and then I have to give a default value. Can I default this parameter to use NUMBER1 or another parameter in the FNDRSRUN form.

Pass parameters into iBot?

Hi,
We are trying to use iBots to generate a set of PDF files for many different parameter combinations. Is it possible to pass parameters (like a parameter file) into an iBot and have it run the same answers request for each row in the parameter file, and then save the PDF output to a local directory on the server? I think BI Publisher is better suited for this task but it is not an option for us right now.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I guess I am unclear of how to automate this - I tried a simple java application from example I found on the web, calling a single Go URL, and it does not save in PDF format. Instead, I get a file with PDF extension but it's actually HTML content. The same code works if I call a direct URL to pdf file.
Is there some way to automate these Go URLS within OBIEE?
Here is the code I used if anyone is interested (doesn't seem to work with OBIEE though):
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        URL u = new URL("http://localhost:9704/analytics/saw.dll?Go&NQUser=Administrator&NQPassword=Administrator&Path=/shared/Sample%20Sales/Reports/History&Action=Print&Format=pdf");
        URLConnection uc = u.openConnection();
        String contentType = uc.getContentType();
        int contentLength = uc.getContentLength();
        if (contentType.startsWith("text/") || contentLength == -1) {
          throw new IOException("This is not a binary file.");
        InputStream raw = uc.getInputStream();
        InputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(raw);
        byte[] data = new byte[contentLength];
        int bytesRead = 0;
        int offset = 0;
        while (offset < contentLength) {
          bytesRead = in.read(data, offset, data.length - offset);
          if (bytesRead == -1)
            break;
          offset += bytesRead;
        in.close();
        if (offset != contentLength) {
          throw new IOException("Only read " + offset + " bytes; Expected " + contentLength + " bytes");
        String filename = new String();
        filename = u.getFile();
        filename = u.getFile().substring(filename.lastIndexOf('/') + 1);
        filename = "obieetest.pdf";
        FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("output/" + filename);
        out.write(data);
        out.flush();
        out.close();
    }

Pass parameters into SessionEventListener by using ConnectionPolicy

Hi,
My project is using Eclipselink/JPA with Oracle VPD. I have to pass some parameters into SessionEventListener to set up VPD context. I found couple postings in this forum talked about using ConnectionPolicy to pass in the information. Does anyone could give me a code sample about how to pass a parameter (ex. user ID) into a ConnectionPolicy? I am using JPA, so I didn't see a clear way for me to access ConnectionPolicy. Thanks!

I used the following solution and it worked for me
((EntityManagerImpl)em.getDelegate()).getServerSession().getDefaultConnectionPolicy().setProperty("USER_ID", userId);
Then in SessionEventListener, I could use clientSession to obtain "USER_ID" from connection policy.

Dynamic PL/SQL code into ODI Procedure

Hi guys:
I have a PL/SQL code to execute into a ODI proc that changes because of a loop.
I have to update N tables that have the same prefix and its sufix is the dynamic part of my PL/SQL. Also I have to set the DT_ETL (I already have a variable in my package with the sysdate) and the limit of a rownum.
These are my variables:
vGET_CD_BASE*
vQTD_REG_UPDATE*
vETL_DATE*
The PL/SQL is described below (with the dynamic parts of it as ODI variables #vXXXXX):
DECLARE
CURSOR v_Cur IS
SELECT ROWID KEY_ROW FROM GG_DATA.WRK_SN_DET_ITEM_EXTR_PARC_*#vGET_CD_BASE* WHERE DT_ETL = TO_DATE('01/01/1900','DD/MM/YYYY') and rownum < *#vQTD_REG_UPDATE*;
TYPE t_Tabela IS TABLE OF ROWID INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
r_Reg t_Tabela;
BEGIN
OPEN v_Cur;
LOOP
FETCH v_Cur BULK COLLECT INTO r_Reg LIMIT 100000;
FORALL i IN 1..r_Reg.COUNT
UPDATE GG_DATA.WRK_SN_DET_ITEM_EXTR_PARC_*#vGET_CD_BASE*
SET DT_ETL = TO_DATE('*#vETL_DATE*','DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS')
WHERE ROWID = r_Reg(i);
EXIT WHEN v_Cur%NOTFOUND;
COMMIT;
END LOOP;
CLOSE v_Cur;
COMMIT;
END;
What do I have to change to make this PL/SQL works in ODI Procedure?
Regards.
Luiz Araujo

Luiz,
One way you could do is by using the "Command on Source" and "Command on Target" feature of an ODI procedure:
In Command on Source, you can write query like:
>
select vGET_CD_BASE, vQTD_REG_UPDATE, vETL_DATE from some_configuration_table_containing_n_rows
>
In Command on Target, you can write:
>
DECLARE
CURSOR v_Cur IS
SELECT ROWID KEY_ROW FROM GG_DATA.WRK_SN_DET_ITEM_EXTR_PARC_#vGET_CD_BASE WHERE DT_ETL = TO_DATE('01/01/1900','DD/MM/YYYY') and rownum < #vQTD_REG_UPDATE;
TYPE t_Tabela IS TABLE OF ROWID INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
r_Reg t_Tabela;
BEGIN
OPEN v_Cur;
LOOP
FETCH v_Cur BULK COLLECT INTO r_Reg LIMIT 100000;
FORALL i IN 1..r_Reg.COUNT
UPDATE GG_DATA.WRK_SN_DET_ITEM_EXTR_PARC_#vGET_CD_BASE
SET DT_ETL = TO_DATE('*#vETL_DATE*','DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS')
WHERE ROWID = r_Reg(i);
EXIT WHEN v_Cur%NOTFOUND;
COMMIT;
END LOOP;
CLOSE v_Cur;
COMMIT;
END;
>
So, for "n" records that are returned by the source query, your PL/SQL package will run "n" times, each time substituting the values of vGET_CD_BASE, vQTD_REG_UPDATE, vETL_DATE respectively.

How to pass parameters into Function module : CLOI_PUT_SIGN_IN_FRONT

Hello friends,
I am displaying values ie, amounts in the screen using write statements here i have to display the
sign left side , i am using Function module   'CLOI_PUT_SIGN_IN_FRONT'
Does anybody help me - How to pass paramter into this Function module.
Regards,
Phaneendra

If you look to the code of the function module, you can see it is condensing the value.
I would make a copy of this function, and remove the condense lines to give the result you want.
data: text1(1) type c.
search value for '-'.
if sy-subrc = 0 and sy-fdpos <> 0.
    split value at '-' into value text1.
    condense value.
    concatenate '-' value into value.
else.
    condense value.
endif.

HELP: Can't Pass Parameters w/Stored Procedure as Data Connection

I'm working on using an existing employment application in PDF format, and I want the form fields to be prepopulated with the user's specific data.
I'd like is so that when a user clicks a link (like www.mysite.com/empapp/empapp.pdf?UserID=5), a dynamic PDF document will open up and that user's data will be populated inside of the form fields by using that user's "UserID" variable/parameter that was passed in the querystring.
I've tried a stored procedure that contains the following select statement:
SELECT * FROM tblEmpApp WHERE UserID = @UserID
I've also tried entering this select statement manually into the box instead of using a stored procedure without success. When I try to use the stored procedure, I receive this error:
Stored procedure "spEmpApp" has non-optional parameters.
How can I set the PDF doc up to populate the form fields based on that passed parameter in the querystring???
******************PLEASE HELP!!!******************

had this same issue. following works for me.
-create a dataconnection to the db with a random query to the table.
-just clone the dataconnection
     oDConn = xfa.sourceSet.DataConnection.clone(1);
-change the query attribute to the stored procedure
     oDConn.resolveNode("#command").query.select.value = "exec spEmpApp 'parameter'"
-open the cloned data connection
     oDconn.open();

I pasted my entire music folder, including itunes and itunes media into my skydrive foler which has now backed them all up in the cloud. Now when I open my itunes client, it can't see my music. What do I do now?

I've recently bought a new computer with windows 8.1 and copied all my files across from my old PC, including all my music. I signed up for Skydrive (now Onedrive) and in order to back up my music, I cut and pasted my entire music folder into the Skydrive folder of my PC. All the music has now backed up to the cloud and I've made it available online and offline. Problem is, when I came to open itunes, it couldn't find my music. I've changed the location of my music folder by going to advanced preferences and specifying the itunes media folder in my skydrive folder and still no sign of my music in itunes. I'm in a mess. Please help

Yes, provided all the media is inside the iTunes Media folder, which is in turn inside the main iTunes folder (which is the standard arrangement) you should be able to move the iTunes folder from <User's Music> to any other path and shift-start-Tunes (option-start-iTunes on a Mac) to reconnect to it.
If the media folder has split out to another drive in the past, or media is stored outside of the iTunes Media folder, then things get a bit more complicated. I can go into details should it be necessary.

Simple question about using passing parameters in a procedure

I have a below stored procedure (part of a package) that I need to modify by removing hard coded declaration of "cutoffdays" and change it into a parameter passed from procedure. I am not sure how to do declare and pass values for delete from a table.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE counttimes
IS
   CutOffDays   NUMBER := 14;
BEGIN
DELETE FROM   timetable
         WHERE   timestamp_val < SYSDATE - CutOffDays;
   COMMIT;
END counttimes;

Hints
<li>never commit at the end of a procedure, if you didn't commit at the beginning. Do the transaction handling at a higher level.</li>
<li>Name the procedure so that it is clear what it does. If records are deleted, then the procedure name should reflect that.</li>
<li>Work with full days, i.e. use trunc(sysdate) instead of sysdate. </li>
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE removeTimes (CutOffDays in integer)
IS
BEGIN
       DELETE FROM   timetable
       WHERE   timestamp_val < trunc(SYSDATE) - CutOffDays;
END counttimes;Edited by: Sven W. on Feb 14, 2011 4:17 PM

CR XI Pass parameters to stored procedure but don't filter returned result set

I have created a stored procedure that takes a begin date and an end date. The returned resultset is what I want in the report, but CR (as it should) filters the results so that the report shows only those records between the begin and end dates.
In short, I don't want the parameters to be used to filter the data returned from the stored proc. Is that possible?

Huh??? You only return data that has been filtered by the SP to CR but you want all of the records?
Filtering is done Server side with SP's, if CR doesn't get the unfiltered data then you have to change it server side.
So first suggestion is to remove the parameters from the SP, then CR can filter or not later on but could potentially return a lot of data. Applying filtering client side in CRD coudl take a while to do, depending on what is in the report....
