Passing parameters with commas

I'm having a hard time passing a servlet init param that has commas in
          it. I've tried using \, to no avail as well. Is there any way to do
          it?

Whats a servlet init param?
          Is it the init method on the Servlet you are talking about?
          or is it the Parameters from a HttpRequest ?
          assuming its the latter,
          for instance input from a multi-Select list box then you may have to
          encode it & decode it on your own. try something like replace all commas
          with some special character that would not appear on the data, or use a
          special combination like ## etc.
          Hope that helps.

Call Paje jsp passing parameters with method post

How can I call a jsp page with outputlink, passing parameters with method post ?
Ex: I need that the word "?pNumMensagem=#{currentRow["NumMensagem"]}" not was exposed when a call P0077_2.jsp.
<h:outputLink binding="#{P0077.hyperlink1}" id="hyperlink1" target="t1" value = "#{facesContext.externalContext.requestContextPath}/faces/P0077_2.jsp?pNumMensagem=#{currentRow["NumMensagem"]}">
<h:outputText binding="#{P0077.outputText14}" id="outputText14" value="#{currentRow['NumMensagem']}"/>
</h:outputLink>

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?

Report with link that pass parameter with comma in it

Hi.
i have a Report and one of the columns is a Link to another page.
i've set that when you click on that link, it redirect you to another page and pass the value of another column on that report to a text item on that page other page.
the problem is that the value i want to pass has a comma in it and APEX split the value.
although it look like a very common question, i could not find a solution for that.
any tip?
Thanks :)

Dror,
As a best practice we frequently advise against passing characters in the URL that are not numeric/simple primary key-type values, but you can pass a comma in f?p URL item values by enclosing the value between backslashes, e.g.,
f?p=&APP_ID.:1:&SESSION.::NO::P1_ENAME:\Rejuan,Dror\

Page item parameters with comma passed incorrectly

using APEX 3.0, I set up a page with a report with a link column. On the link section of the column, I have set up two items to be set on the following page. However, one of those two values has commas in it, and is not passed correctly. It actually doesn't work even if there's only one parameter. Any suggestions? If the suggestion involves changing the page template, could you make the directions explicit, as I've never done that.
Thanks, -warren

Warren,
Pass the value between backslashes, e.g.if #COLA# will contain comma(s), f?p=.....P1_ITEMA,P1_ITEMB:\#COLA#\,#COLB#

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

Pass parameters with Step-Post Actions-'Call Sequence' option

I have a sub-sequence which accepts a single parameter.
Ideally I would like to call this sub-sequence from several Steps, using their Post Actions property , using a Custom Condition Expression and the On Condition False: Call Sequence option.
The Call Sequence option, when selected, offers a list of sub-sequences including the one which I wish to execute, if the conditions are correct, but I see no way of passing an argument to the sub-sequence's parameter.
Is there a simple way of passing the parameter ?
Is there a syntax I could apply to the sub-sequence selected string ?

From the TestStand Help:
Call sequence—TestStand calls a sequence before continuing to the next step. You can select any sequence in the sequence file. TestStand does not pass any arguments to the sequence. If the sequence has parameters, TestStand uses their default values.
So I don't think this particular method is going to work for you. However, there are lots of ways to do this, here are a few I can think of off the top of my head (I'm sure there are more, and possibly better ones):
1. Just insert a sequence call after every applicable step with an apropriate pre-condition. This is the easiest method, but kind of messy and requires repeating the call everywhere.
2. Change the parameter to a sequence file global... ylch, I hate globals... Terrible programming practice, but it's easy .
3. Override the SequenceFilePostStep Engine Callback and put a sequence call with an appropriate pre-condition in there. This keeps you from having to repeat the code, but it will check the condition after every step executes, not just the ones you are interested in, so you may need some additional conditions.
4. Define a custom step type for these steps and use a substep to call the sequence.
Hope that helps,
Ryan K.

How to pass values with comma to comma seperated param in sp

hi all,
i have one sp which has param name as cordinatorname varchar(max)
in where condition of my sp i passed as
coordinator=(coordinatorname in (select ltrim(rtrim(value)) from dbo.fnSPLIT(@coordinatorname,',')))
but now my promblm is for @coordinatorname i have values as 'coorcinator1', 'coordinato2,inc'
so when my ssrs report taking these values as multiselect, comma seperated coordinator2,inc also has comma already
how to get this solved. please help me..
lucky

In the SSRS report, on the parameters tab of the query definition, set the parameter value to
=join(Parameters!<your param name>.Value,",")
In your query, you can then reference the value like so:
where yourColumn in (@<your param name>)

RWCLIENT issue when passing parameters with spaces

AS 10.2.0.2 on Sun Solaris 10. We have reports that are scheduled and sum of the parameters have spaces in the value. For example parm1=I am with spaces. We would then generate a command line that shows the parameter like rwclient.sh server=rep_serv report=report1 parm1=I am with spaces. This errors with numerous messages. I tried surrounding the value in single quotes like this rwclient.sh server=rep_serv report=report1 parm1='I am with spaces'. When running the quoted command the report server shows the parameter as parm1='I' am with spaces. We have the parameter page of the report as the first page which allows us to see what was actually used as parameters. Of course the data in the database has no value that matches with the single quotes so no data. I need to be able to pass a value with spaces and it actually show as a parameter with spaces. We do not have this issue when we can run with forms built-ins as you actually build a parameter list to pass. Thanks in advance.
Edited by: gdaustin1 on Jan 26, 2012 8:03 AM

It's a bit of both I guess. On a command line a space is used to separate switches and variables. Like this demo.bat:
@echo off
echo %1Results in:
C:\Temp>demo.bat Hello World
Hello
C:\Temp>demo.bat "Hello World"
"Hello World"If you want to remove the double quotes, you have to change your source code to:
@echo off
echo %~1Now you get:
C:\Temp>demo.bat "Hello World"
Hello World

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.

Using shell pass parameters with space to Java

Hi friends,
I have a shell script accepting parameters as below
#!/bin/sh
#test.sh
./setEnv.sh
java -classpath $CP com.rky.Main *$@*
CP=
If I run the script like this ./test.sh -annotation "This is a problem".
If shell pass the parameters to Java, the parameter "This is a problem" will recognized as 4 parameters by java. That's not what I want . I still need java use it as a whole parameter.
Do you have any easy ideas to resolve this problem out of my java code?
Thank you.

yes, from the bash manpage:
       @      Expands to the positional parameters, starting from one.   When
              the expansion occurs within double quotes, each parameter
              expands to a separate word. That is, "$@" is equivalent to "$1"
              "$2" ...   If the double-quoted expansion occurs within a word,
              the expansion of the first parameter is joined with the begin-
              ning part of the original word, and the expansion of the last
              parameter is joined with the last part of the original word.
              When there are no positional parameters, "$@" and $@ expand to
              nothing (i.e., they are removed).(your manpage could be a little different because of versions, and I got this from the manpage of bash on a mac. but the main things should apply)

Can you pass parameters with sub queries

I have created a Custom folder within a Business Area using a sql query that has multi sub queries. I need to be able to pass date parameters at the top level and at each sub query levels. Is this possible, or how can it be done in Discoverer?
I have attached an example of the query below.
select T.title_type_code, T.title_number
from title_trans T
where T.title_type_code in ( 'A', 'AC', 'AN','AS','EL', 'ERL','SEL', 'MC', 'MCN', 'MCC', 'MCS', 'ML', 'MLN', 'MLC', 'MLS')
and T.trans_type_code = 'APPL'
and trunc(T.effective_date) between to_date('&start_date','DD/MM/YYYY') and to_date('&end_date','DD/MM/YYYY')
and exists
(select *
from title_land_status L
where T.title_type_code = L.title_type_code
and T.title_number = L.title_number
and L.trans_type_code in ('APPL', 'FLS', 'AVAR')
--FREEHOLD LAND
and L.land_status_id in ('15')
and L.date_completed = (select MAX(L.date_completed)
from title_land_status L
where T.title_type_code = L.title_type_code
and T.title_number = L.title_number
and trunc(L.date_completed) <= to_date('&end_date','DD/MM/YYYY')
and L.trans_type_code in ('APPL', 'FLS', 'AVAR')))
and not exists
(select *
from title_land_status L
where T.title_type_code = L.title_type_code
and T.title_number = L.title_number
and L.trans_type_code in ('APPL', 'FLS', 'AVAR')
--AB fREEHOLD LAND - NLC, CLC, TLC, ALC
and L.land_status_id in ('3', '4', '5', '6')
and L.date_completed = (select MAX(L.date_completed)
from title_land_status L
where T.title_type_code = L.title_type_code
and T.title_number = L.title_number
and trunc(L.date_completed) <= to_date('&end_date','DD/MM/YYYY')

and T.title_number = TIT.title_number
and TIT.purpose = 'EMPC')
order by T.title_type_code;

Ok,
I just tried that and it still doesn't pass anything to the prompt.
I changed the prompt to an edit field and I made the following weblink but when i click the link from an account it doesn't put anything in the prompt and all data for all accounts is shown.
This is the URL maybe I messed something up...

Problem in passing parameters in command line in desktop

Hi,
I am trying to generate reports from command line (Oracle Discoverer 4i Version 4.1.42.04.00) but I am facing problems when I try to pass date or numeric parameters. It seems to work with strings
The following command is successful when i pass string as parameters
C:\orant\DISCVR4\dis4usr.exe /connect reports/reports@orcl /opendb load_report_1 /batch /sheet 2 /parameter "P Date" "31-JUL-2006 Month End" /export xls c:\Temp\load_report_!
But in the following commands the command line execution stops when a worksheet with parameters is encountered. Once then parameter is entered the command line is executed successfully. In these problem cases it seems like the /parameter option is not being recognized. I have tried to pass parameters with double quotes, single quotes, without any quotes.
C:\orant\DISCVR4\dis4usr.exe /connect reports/reports@orcl /opendb "load report 2" /sheet 3 /parameter "Select P Day" "20-JUN-2006" /batch /export xls c:\Temp\load_Report_2
C:\orant\DISCVR4\dis4usr.exe /connect reports/reports@orcl /opendb "load report 3" /batch /sheet 1 /parameter "Enter Date Using Format YYYYMMDD" 20060703 /export xls c:\Temp\load_report_3
The only difference I can see is that I have not used double quotes in the command line that is successful in generating reports with parameters.
Any inputs will be appreciated - we are stuck in our project due to this issue. Many thanks.
Warm regards
Sucharita

Hi
I work in the same team as the original poster.
We tried by changing NLS_DATE_FORMAT for the oracle_home.
Just to clarify our issue I am describing it one more time below -
Using Disc desktop (4.1.42) we are trying to run the reports using command line interface. Any report that takes character input for the parameters ,is running fine in the batch mode without prompting.
Any report that takes Date/Numeric input for the parameters, though in batch mode, is prompting for user to give the parameters.We tried with quotes as well.
For Example -
1. Character input : when we run this command supplying the input parameter values (which are characters), report runs fine without prompting for values.
C:\orant\DISCVR4\dis4usr.exe /connect rep/rep@orals /opendb Schd_Report /batch /sheet 2 /parameter "Process Date" "31-JUL-2006 Month End" /export xls c:\audit_report_5
2. Date Input -
C:\orant\DISCVR4\dis4usr.exe /connect rep/rep@orals /opendb "DLS.Arrears Reports" /batch /sheet 1 /parameter "Please Enter Date Using Format YYYYMMDD" 20060703 /export xls c:\CA_arr
When we submit this we get a window prompting for the input values. So his is the issue.
Thanks

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");
    }Brenden

Issue with passing parameters through Java-JSP in a report with cross tab

Can anyone tell me, if there's a bug in Java SDK in passing the parameters to a report (rpt file) that has a cross tab in it ?
I hava report that works perfectly fine
   with ODBC through IDE and also through browser (JSP page)
(ii)    with JDBC in CR 2011 IDE
the rpt file has a cross tab and accpts two parameters.
When I run the JDBC report through JSP the parameters are never considered. The same report works fine when I remove the cross tab and make it a simple report.
I have posted this to CR SDK forum and have not received any reply. This have become a blocker and because of this our delivery has been postponed. We are left with two choices,
   Re-Write the rpt files not to have cross-tabs - This would take significant effort
OR
(ii) Abandon the crystal solution and try out any other java based solutions available.
I have given the code here in this forum posting..
CR 2011 - JDBC Report Issue in passing parameters
TIA
DRG
TIA
DRG

Mr.James,
Thank you for the reply.
As I stated earlier, we have been using the latest service pack (12) when I generated the log file that is uploaded earlier.
To confirm this further, I downloaded the complete eclipse bundle from sdn site and reran the rpt files. No change in the behaviour and the bug is reproducible.
You are right about the parameters, we are using {?@Direction} is: n(1.0)
{?@BDate} is: dt(d(1973-01-01),t(00:00:00.453000000)) as parameters in JSP and we get 146 records when we directly execute the stored procedure. The date and the direction parameter values stored in design time are different. '1965-01-01' and Direction 1.
When we run the JSP page, The parameter that is passed through the JSP page, is displayed correctly on the right top of the report view. But the data that is displayed in cross tab is not corresponding to the date and direction parameter. It corresponds to 1965-01-01 and direction 1 which are saved at design time.
You can test this by modifying the parameter values in the JSP page that I sent earlier. You will see the displayed data will remain same irrespective of the parameter.
Further to note, Before each trial run, I modify the parameters in JSP page, build them and redeploy so that caching does not affect the end result.
This behaviour, we observe on all the reports that have cross-tabs. These reports work perfectly fine when rendered through ODBC-ActiveX viewer and the bug is observable only when ran through Java runtime library. We get this bug on view, export and print functionalities as well.
Additionally we tested the same in
    With CR version 2008 instead of CR 2011.
(ii)   Different browsers ranging from IE 7 through 9 and FF 7.
The complete environment and various softwares that we used for this testing are,
OS      : XP Latest updates as on Oct 2011.
App Server: GlassFish Version 3 with Java version 1.6 and build 21
Database server ; SQL Server 2005. SP 3 - Dev Ed.
JTds JDBC type 4 driver version - 1.2.5 from source forge.
Eclipse : Helios along with crystal libraries directly downloaded from SDN site.
I am uploading the log file that is generated when rendering the rpt for view in IE 8

DRG
