Passing Parameters with a URL to an Oracle Report, on an Oracle Reports App. Server

I have built an Oracle report which resides on a Windows 4.0 / IIS application server with Oracle Reports installed.
(8i Database / 6i Developer 2000 suite). This works flawlessly when called from an Oracle Form.
My question is, how do I call the same report from portals and pass it the required parameters. Thanks!

Hi,
You will have to encode your parameter value. The problem is because of the spaces in the value. Whenever there any special
characters in the value it should be encoded.
example
select '<area shape="rect" coords="335,66,528,83" href="http://townland:7778/pls/portal30/PORTAL30.RPT_SUMKWH.show_parms?meter='||
<portal_schema>.wwutl_htf.url_encode('PMS 11BBA01')||'">pams</a>' url
from meters
The above is just an example. Please change the names to suit your requirements.
Thanks,
Sharmila

Passing parameters from an URL to a WAD Web Template 7.0

Hi guys, I need to pass parameters from an URL to a web template created with WAD 7.0. We need to open a template with certain filters starting from a link button located on an Xcelsius Dashboard. Our customer wants a web template to be opened with the filters defined within the Xcelsius
The idea is to run the template with the filters defined in the URL. I know this was incredibly easy with WAD 3.x, but I didn't find any suitable solutions to use with WAD 7.0.
What is the easiest way to do this with WAD 7.0?
Thanks in advance and regards.

Hi,
It is possible in 7.0, but unfortunately it is a lot more complicated than i 3.x. There are quite a few examples here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/43/ef05462480025ae10000000a1553f7/content.htm
I used it in a case where I wanted to embed a Web template in a BPS application and pass characteristic filters from the BPS application to the web template - similar to your requirements. Basically you need the following just to restrict one characteristic :o(
&BI_COMMAND_1-BI_COMMAND_TYPE=SET_SELECTION_STATE
&BI_COMMAND_1-TARGET_DATA_PROVIDER_REF_LIST-TARGET_DATA_PROVIDER_REF_1=DP_1
&BI_COMMAND_1-CHARACTERISTICS_SELECTIONS-CHARACTERISTIC_SELECTIONS_1-SELECTIONS-SELECTION_1=SELECTION_INPUT_STRING
&BI_COMMAND_1-CHARACTERISTICS_SELECTIONS-CHARACTERISTIC_SELECTIONS_1-SELECTIONS-SELECTION_1-SELECTION_INPUT_STRING=PDS06
&BI_COMMAND_1-CHARACTERISTICS_SELECTIONS-CHARACTERISTIC_SELECTIONS_1-CHARACTERISTIC=0D_PH2
I could only get it to work with one characteristic and I suspect, that the reason is that the URL simply gets to long (very quickly). You have to repeat the above for every characterstic you want to use :o(

Passing Parameters in a URL

Hi,
Does anybody know how/if it's possible to pass parameters into a URL from LOV/comboboxes/tick-boxes etc...
I know this is possible through External Applications for the username and password, but what if the user wants to select multiple departments of a given report?
The idea being, that we are going to be passing parameters into Sales Analyser to fire off a specific report with given values.
These values are restricted, depending on which user you are and your level of access to the portal. This URL will then be used to open an SA report with the details required.
Thanks, Matt.

Hi,
if your attribute is on a input component (hidden or otherwise) it will be passes to the next page when the page is submitted.
If you want the parameter to be appended to the URL/I then you need to change the form method to GET rather than POST.
To operate on the parameter on the target page you can create an invoke action on the target pages page definition to do something in the model with the passed value.
in PageDef of target page:
Params section:
<parameters>
    <parameter id="id"/>
</parameters>in Bindings section:
<methodAction id="findEmpById"
                  InstanceName="HRServiceDataControl.dataProvider"
                  DataControl="HRServiceDataControl" RequiresUpdateModel="true"
                  Action="invokeMethod" MethodName="findEmpById"
                  IsViewObjectMethod="false">
      <NamedData NDName="num" NDValue="${param.id}" NDType="java.lang.String"/>Invoke action in executables section to call the method above only if param id is passed:
<executables>
    <invokeAction Binds="findEmpById" id="invokeFindByID" Refresh="ifNeeded"
                  RefreshCondition="${param.id != null}"/>
</executables>AM method to do something with the param:
    public void findEmpById(String num){
        if (num != null){
            System.out.println("ID is: " + num);
        }else {
            System.out.println("ID is: null");

Passing Parameters in a URL to Reports - Need Help Urgently !

I have created Image Maps (content area) where I pass parameters in the URL as follows :
<area shape="rect" coords="335,66,528,83" href="http://townland:7778/pls/portal30/PORTAL30.RPT_SUMKWH.show_parms?meter=PMS 11BBA01">
<area shape="rect" coords="400,55,600,90" href="http://townland:7778/pls/portal30/PORTAL30.RPT_SUMKWH.show_parms?meter=PMS 11BBA02">
I am having a problem passing this meter parameter to the report [I am generating this report (RPT_SUMKWH) using SQL Query] :
I have tried the following :
1) I tried referencing this parameter in the 'Additional PL/SQL code, before displaying page' section of my Report as :- wwpro_api_parameters.get_value('meter', 'RPT_SUMKWH')
but this did not work (this made the package body invalid).
2) I then tried using the meter parameter as a bind variable in my SELECT Query of the Report, then, in the 'Customisation Form' section, I place :- wwpro_api_parameters.get_value('meter', 'RPT_SUMKWH') under Default Value, however, when I go back to my Image Map content area & ty to click on the URL, I get an error "Page does not display" .
How do I then pass this parameter to my report, where do I place the code to make the call for the parameter being passed from the Image Map URL in the content area??

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.

Passing parameters in FQDN URL of WDA component

hai my dear WDAers,
how can
we pass the parameters from URL and how can we access that paremeter into another view.
regards,
rk

I am not sure what you mean by passing parameters in FQDN URL.
Is this application called from Portal ? Then you can define parameters in the iView application Parameters.
If you call the application using navigation api then there is a importing parameter lt_business_parameter.
You can define also parameters in the application , open the application and right side pane you can define the parameters.
You can read the parameters in on default plug of the window and save it in component controller attribute, you can read them back from any view in your component.
data lt_all_url_param TYPE tihttpnvp.
wdevent->get_data( EXPORTING name = '_ALL_URL_PARAMETERS'
IMPORTING value = lt_all_url_param ).
wd_comp_controller->gt_all_url_param = lt_all_url_param.
Note: Please read the forum rules once, search the forum before starting your post.

Passing parameters with spaces in Oracle reports

I hav a system that passes a query string to a servlet and generates an Oracle Report. All of the varibles worked Ok as long as they don't have spaces in them. Whenever a parameter with spaces is encountered,it generates an error. i tried to enclose it in single or double quotes but it didn't work. I also tried to insert the Url Encode for spaces which is %20 but it also generated an error. pls help me on this one...

I suppose you're working with GET instead of POST. Try to use the POST method; this gives you the possibility to work with a URL without parameters behind the question mark. This might be the solution to your problem.

Pass parameters dynamically to url iview from web dynpro abap

Hi,
I am trying to pass 3 key-value pairs via absolute navigation to a URL iview.
The url expected is : http://www.sap.com?field1=value1&field2=value2&field3=value3
For this, I have done the following:
1) Created a url iview with the 3 parameters in get.
2) Used the pcd location of the url iview and referred it in the navigate_absolute method.
Following is the call:
        CALL METHOD lr_port_manager->navigate_absolute
          EXPORTING
            navigation_target   = wa_navigation-target
            navigation_mode     = wa_navigation-mode
            use_sap_launcher    = abap_false
            business_parameters = l_bus_parameter_tab.
The l_bus_parameter_tab has the key-value pairs populated and I can see them populated.
However, when the url is being called the parameters are not getting passed. Am I missing anything to be passed?
Thanks.

Hi Kumar,
I have followed your reccomendation and updated the code and iview properties.
The code now looks like:
        l_parameter-key = 'userid'.
        l_parameter-value = sy-uname.
        INSERT l_parameter INTO TABLE l_bus_parameter_tab.
        l_parameter-key = 'portal'.
        l_parameter-value = 'test'.
        INSERT l_parameter INTO TABLE l_bus_parameter_tab.
        l_parameter-key = 'mode'.
        l_parameter-value = 'I'.
        INSERT l_parameter INTO TABLE l_bus_parameter_tab.
*End of business parameters population
        CALL METHOD lr_port_manager->navigate_absolute
          EXPORTING
            navigation_target   = wa_navigation-target
            navigation_mode     = wa_navigation-mode
            use_sap_launcher    = abap_true
           business_parameters = l_bus_parameter_tab.
            launcher_parameters = l_bus_parameter_tab.
However, when the method is called, it does nothing and the url does not get called.
When I manually add parameters to the url iview and preview it, it does the job.
For some reason, these parameters are not getting passed to the url iview or page.
Is there a limitation that parameters cant be passed to url iviews?

Launching a page by passing parameters in the URL

My app has a page sentry function that sets the APP_USER using the Apache mod_ntlm module to the Windows domain user. I check security for each page in a custom table that I maintain.
If I try to launch a page by passing parameters in the f?p= URL like
f?p=100:1:::::P1_ID:10
since I dont have a session yet, the page sentry generates a session for me and redirects to the page (100:1), but I lose my parameters (P1_ID)
How can I preserve the entire URL in this case?
Thanks

I modified the page sentry function like you suggested.
Launched f?p=102:51:::::P1_ID:1234
This got redirected to
f?p=102:51:2458638498649564102
My debug table has 8261051781657854662
When I inspected session state for 2458638498649564102 using Workspace XXX>Manage Workspace>Session State Management>Recent Sessions>Session State
it had no entry for FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL. All it had was
-      -      -      1:15:0:0
-      -      -      1:15:0:0
-      -      -      1:15:0:0
-      -      -      1:15:0:0
There is no entry for 8261051781657854662
Thanks for your continued help. Appreciate it.

Passing Parameters via OpenDocument URL to OLAP Analysis .amw

Hello together,
did anyone ever manage to successfully create an OpenDocument URL which passes parameters to an existing analysis workspace .amw?
We already linked to other .crp and BEx reports, but maybe .amw needs some special syntax..
I appreciate every hint
Thanks
CR Enterprise 4.0 SP2 in usage

Hi,
I can confirm: The situation for A-OLAP is the same as it was for Voyager.
Analysis, like voyager, supports outbound opendoc params (ie pass context to WebI/CR) but not inbound params. The only exception is that you can specify which Voyager workspace to open.
Voyager/analysis supports SAP connection parameters on opendoc, but this is a manual selection in prompts. You cannot programmatically set connection variables.
Today we also support "Jumplinks"... a feature in both Voyager and A-OLAP that allows contextual information to be passed to a pre-defined Crystal Report.
For BI4.1 (end 2012) SAP plans to make A-OLAP more open. This includes supporting SAP's Report-Report-Interface (RRI) and extending the OpenDocument parameters beyond just the workspace name that is supported today.
Regards,
H

Passing Parameters through a URL to a Report..

I have noticed a lot of message about similar situations where people have had problems sending certain parameters through a URL.. so this is maybe something that's not possible.. but you if you dont ask then you dont know.
so..
We have a form that has search options in it
(its a customized form that replaces the customization bit that you get with a report -> .show_parms - just so we could do different things with it)
and one of the fields is a combobox populated by an LOV
- it has usernames in it
so when you search using a value in the combobox it will show all the records that that person has entered into the table..
however we are currently getting an error
Error: An unexpected error occurred: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error (WWV-16016)
this is the URL with the parameters
http://portal.somewhere.com/pls/portal30/foldername.RPT_Edit_Request_Old.show?p_arg_names=Request.RID&p_arg_values='||nRID||'&p_arg_names=Request.CID&p_arg_values='||nCID||'&p_arg_names=Request.ATID&p_arg_values='||nATID||'&p_arg_names=Request.REQUEST_NAME&p_arg_values='||nREQNM||'%&p_arg_names=_request_rid_cond&p_arg_values=%3D&p_arg_names=_request_cid_cond&p_arg_values=%3D&p_arg_names=_request_atid_cond&p_arg_values=%3D&p_arg_names=_request_request_name_cond&p_arg_values=LIKE';
when you remove the condition at the end
the report is displayed (but not customized obviously)
however you can see the value has been picked up from the combobox as it's in the URL in the address bar..
so that bit works fine
any thoughts/ideas/or even solutions! :) would be much appreciated
thanks
Richard

actually
nevermind
i got it to work without even knowing :)
the condition was causing the error
and adding a % after the value makes it work

Passing parameters with spaces to SCCM Run PowerShell Script task

I am working on an OS deployment task sequence in SCCM 2012 R2 with several Run PowerShell Script tasks. Most of them run fine, but I am having trouble with the one I need to pass parameters to.
The parameters I need to pass are:
-ComputerOU "ou=All Workstations,dc=contoso,dc=com" -GroupDN "cn=Group1,ou=All Groups,dc=contoso,dc=com"
I have that line (with actual DNs) entered in Parameters of the task.
But when the script runs on the target machine, the values of the parameters in the script are truncated at the spaces. $ComputerOU is set to "ou=All" and $GroupDN is set to "cn=Group1,ou=all"
What syntax should I be using the Parameters field of the Task in order to properly pass PowerShell parameter string values that include spaces?
Tim Curwick
MadWithPowerShell.com

Thank you, TC, but I am not calling the parameters from within PowerShell.
The parameters are in the settings of a task sequence task to be used by the task to launch a script. The syntax I am using would be correct for use within PowerShell or from a command line or batch script, but SCCM appears to be doing some parsing
before or while it is passing them to the script, possibly dropping the quotes which causes mishandling of the spaces in the string values.
Historically, it is always challenging to give one application parameters to pass to another application, and the required syntax can get quite tricky when the two application handle quotes or spaces differently, or when the parent application wants to parse
something intended to be passed on as is to the child application.
I'm sure someone has already figured out what the syntax needs to be for doing this with an SCCM 'Run PowerShell Script" task, it's just one of those issues that is hard to Google effectively.
Any other ideas?
