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.

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.

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 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?

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)

Passing parameter with space?

How does java pass parameter value with spaces? e.g. url?param1=value with space .
Is there any built in method like PHP's addslashes?
Thanks.

URLEncoder.encode("value with
space","UTF-8")Also the core JSTL tag c:url will encode parameters with spaces, and of course there's the crude way of just using the + sign.

Passing arguments with spaces through to asc.jar

According to the docs, we can pass arguments through to llc using -fllvm-llc-opt. Additionally, with llc we can pass arguments through to asc.jar using -ascopt. Let's say I want to define an AS3 variable in my flascc swf/swc. asc.jar says that I can do this using "-config <ns::name=value>".
So it seems like I should be able to do this:
gcc ... -fllvm-llc-opt=-ascopt=-config CONFIG::RELEASE=true
But this doesn't work, as the "-config" parameter takes its next argument via a space and not an equals, which throws the whole thing off. gcc thinks its another argument. Trying it with spaces like this:
gcc ... "-fllvm-llc-opt=-ascopt=-config CONFIG::RELEASE=true"
also doesn't work. The toolchain outputs:
Error:
LLVM ERROR: Failed to run /usr/bin/java with args:
-Xmx1500M -jar /Users/asimmons/FlasCC_1.0/sdk/usr/bin/../../usr/lib/asc2.jar -merge -md -abcfuture -AS3

As you can see, the "-config" command made it to asc.jar. What I think is happening is that its being passed to asc.jar as one argument (not two). For example, I can copy-paste this command into bash and it will work-- just not when done from gcc.
So: how do I pass arguments with spaces through to asc.jar?

I believe you should be able to do this by splitting it across two fllvm-llc-opt flags:
gcc ... -fllvm-llc-opt=-ascopt=-config -fllvm-llc-opt=-ascopt=CONFIG::release=true
The Makefile in the 12_Stage3D sample that ships with the FlasCC SDK demonstrates this.

Call Paje jsp passing parameters with method post

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,

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 to Procedure based sub report thru JRC

Hi
I am using storedprocedure based main report with a subreport and i am trying to invoke these reports with JRC.
I am passing parameters to main report then it is asking parameters for subreport then i placed following statement by placing subreport name
param2.setReportName("detailed_aging_report_wk.rpt");
but after using this statement it is prompting for main report parameters.
How i can pass the same parameter values to both main and sub reports?
Thankyou.

Here is a snippet code that demonstrates how to pass a parameter to a subreport, you can accommodate it and test it and see if you still have the same behaviour. What you need to do is to add the code to set the parameter of the main report.

Passing parameters to web based oracle forms

Hi,
How can I pass parameters from web page to oracle form applet? OR is there anyway i can know (within a form) if that form is run from a client/server or from web. This is just to set some parameters depending on the condition: client/server or web application.
thank you

To know if you are on the Web use the get_application_property built-in, check out the online help for it.
To pass parameters - if you are using the forms servlet you can pass parameters on the URL that calls your Forms application.

Passing data from JSP to Oracle Reports

Hi,
We have a requirement to query and display data in JSP pages and when clicked on 'Report' button of the JSP, an Oracle report should be called.
The data which is queried in JSP should be passed to the Oracle report. Is there any way of doing it? This is to avoid re-querying the database again from Oracle Reports.
Environment: jdk1.3, Oracle Application Server 9i, Oracle 9i, Report 6i
Thanks in Advance,
Srinivas

You could have the Applet make a request to the server (via URLConnection).
