Passing/setting parm value

I have a multi-row page that has an "edit" link button on it (set to the rec_id of the row).
I want to set a global variable value when the "edit" button is pressed so that I can access the value from another page. I could not seem to figure out a way to do this from a link vs a button.
Any ideas?

hey scott--
as you've found, those link generator popup screens only support the passing of 10 htmldb item/value pairs. if ever you need to pass more than 10 values via the url, you can simply change your link's "Target type" field to "URL" and enter those values manually into the "URL Target" field using our f?p= url syntax. having said that, i thought i should mention that i've yet to see a good reason to be passing so many htmldb item values through the URL. that's kinda why our generators only support 10 values, actually -- 10's a lot as it is. not to assume too much, but you might want to rethink your implementation a little and try to pass only the values you need to pass.
the two issues you noticed (the error when you provided more than 10 vals and the fact that you couldn't select application level items in those popups) were bugs, and i've just logged them. as mr.spadafore said, though, you should be able to set application level items w/o issues via the URL. just enter those name value pairs into those Branch Action fields manually to get around the popup issue.
hope this helps,

How to pass the whole set of values of a shuttle item in AJAX

Hi,
I am trying to pass the value of shuttle item to a dynamic process using Ajax. But if I use shuttle_right, I am able to get only the first selected value. If I simply give shuttle it returns null.
Please let me know How I can get the whole set of values separated by ':'
Thanks,
Vikas

Vikas,
Here's a little snippet that should get you going:
var shtVals = '';
var shuttle = new dhtml_ShuttleObject("PXX_SHUTTLE_LEFT","PXX_SHUTTLE_RIGHT");
for (x=0; x<shuttle.Op1Init.length; x++) {
shtVals += shuttle.Op1Init[x].value + ':'; //Op1 = left & Op2 = right
shtVals = shtVals.replace(/:$/,'');
alert(shtVals);Regards,
Dan

Pass variable and set default value based on user's group

Hello
I'm using SharePoint 2010 and SQL 2012. I need to send a variable to the page and based on its value, set default value for a drop down list and send it to other web part to filter the data. Is it possible for certain users to send that value as a default
and limit user to see only this value in the text field or drop down list; for others - to allow to see the drop down list, but also set the default value for that list?
The main page was designed in SharePoint designer, using web parts (aspx page). I had setup a connection to Active Directory and already have the code to get user's groups and based on their group, I have that variable pulled into the web page for further
use. But I don't know how to pass that value as a default value to the web part (currently using SharePoint Filter web part). When I tried to set a default value for the web part - it automatically puts the quotation marks around the name of the variable
and shows it as a text instead of showing the value of the field.
Thank you!
P.s. I have limited knowledge of SharePoint and need guidance (links, examples, recommendations)!
Alla Sanders

Thank you for your response. I'll try to give you more details. On PageA I check user's groups and based on the group, assign the value and pass it to the next page (no input from the user, all done behind the scene and user is redirected to PageB).
On the next page I read that value and would like to send it to the SharePoint List Filter Web as a default value, as well as send it to another web part that displays the list from SQL, filtered using that default value. Ideally, if the user is from Group
A, I'd like for them to have only one value in that drop down list; if user is from Group B - give him drop down list with 40 items to choose from. Below there is a part of the code and variable fnum has the value from PageA (if I print the value on the screen
- I do see that it has correct value, so the code that gets groups from Active directory works correctly). If I assign fnum as a default value of the list, it shows "fnum" instead of the value of variable fnum. I connect to SQL database, using external
content - so the other list that I'm filtering based on the value in that drop down list - is XSLT Data View Web part. I also have 2 more filters on that page, that user will have full access to and based on their input, it is also sent to the XSLT web part
to filter out more data. Since one of the filters is the date and I am filtering data starting from the date that user chooses - XSLT is the only web part that I was able to make it work with.
I looked at the link you provided (thank you). It is using Content Query Web part. Will it work with external content, as well as accepting multiple filtering, including custom starting date? I appreciate your help!

Using "Set Control Value" to pass a reference

Hi,
every time I tried to passe a Control Reference using "Set Control Value" I have the Error 1 (invalid input parameter at invoke node). Why is it not possible to pass a control reference using the invoke node??
Thanks
Golzio

Hi,
This is possible. Trick is, the type of the control reference needs to be
the same as the input. E.g. a string control reference is a different type
as a numeric control reference (, or a control reference).
To avoid this conflic, make sure the input of the vi is a control reference
(and not a e.g. string control reference). Also make sure the to convert the
reference you pass to a control reference (using Application Control>To More
Generic Class).
Regards,
Wiebe.

Passing null/empty values from a actionscript VO to a Coldfusion ORM object

This is the situation.
If you have an actionscript VO that binds to a Coldfusion ORM object via the RemoteClass metadata and some of the values are not set, null, or empty strings and you pass it from Flex to Coldfusion then the Coldfusion deserialization barfs saying the values are not acceptable date values (for type="date") or valid emails (for validation="email") or other such validations, even if required="false" on the property.
For instance, if you have the following actionscript VO:
package vo
    [RemoteClass(alias="com.companyname.Person")]
    [Bindable]
    public class Person
        public var person_id:Number;
        public var last_name:String;
        public var first_name:String;
        public var email:String;
        public var created_date:date;
     public function Person() {}
And you have the corresponding Coldfusion component:
<cfcomponent displayname="person" output="false"
    alias="com.companyname.Person"
    schema="dbo" persistent="true"
    table="PERSON">
    <cfproperty name="person_id" type="numeric" fieldtype="id" validate="integer" required="true" column="PERSON_ID"/>
    <cfproperty name="last_name" type="string" column="LAST_NAME" required="true"/>
    <cfproperty name="first_name" type="string" required="true" column="FIRST_NAME"/>
    <cfproperty name="email" type="string" validate="email" required="false" column="EMAIL"/>
    <cfproperty name="date_created" type="date" required="false" column="DATE_CREATED"/>
</cfcomponent>
Then if you pass the actionscript VO as is to Coldfusion, the deserialization complains that you do not have a valid email or a valid date for date_created. This is bad, bad, bad. Essentially if you have a validation of certain types (email being one) or a date property, or probably some other cases, then you essentially can not make it not required, it automatically makes it required because the Coldfusion serializer considers null/empty values as invalid dates or emails. But the serializer should not care for values that are not required, there has to be a way to pass null/empty values to these data types, but apparently there's not. If you pass an empty string ("") you still have the same problem. I know Coldfusion does not have null values, but there has to be a way to do this, otherwise it defeats the purpose of having required="false" and some kind of validation on the property.
There seems to be two ways around it. One is to override the implicit setters for the properties on the Coldfusion side and check for 0 length values yourself, then set the property if it is not, or create your own validation routine. I ended up creating my own validation function since I didn't want to have to write a setter function for everyone of these cases and I can pass back user friendly validation messages.
Have other people encountered this problem? How have you gotten around it? Thanks.

I realize that I didn't clarify that I am using ColdFusion
for getting the data. This class was generated by the Create CFC
wizard in Flex Builder.
package com.generated
[Managed]
[RemoteClass(alias="components.generated.clients.Clients")]
public class Clients
public var clientid:Number = 0;
public var clientfirstname:String = "";
public var clientlastname:String = "";
public var clientaddress1:String = "";
public var clientaddress2:String = "";
public var clientcity:String = "";
public var clientstate:String = "";
public var clientzip:String = "";
public var clientphone:String = "";
public var clientemail:String = "";

Looks like a known workaround to this issue is to wrap the Flex object in an array.
The ColdFusion CFC will accept that as an array, with the first an only element being a struct, which is the object you built in Flex.

How to pass multiple MDX values for a single parameter into a drill-through report?

I'm thinking this will be an easy question for any experienced SSRS/MDX developers, at least I hope so! I've created a report that gives the user the option to choose viewing data for the current/active week, or YTD. Depending on which link the
user selects, the report simply calls itself and needs to pass in the parameter value for Active week. If it's active week, the parameter value will simply be "true". If it's YTD, the parameter value needs to be both "True" and "False" so the current
week's data is accounted for as well. I've set everything up except for the final step, and I have no idea what to type into the Value field below. I've tried different things: false, as you see below (it errors saying I'm missing the parameter
value), the value in MDX format: =[School Dates].[Active Week].&[True] (it said I was missing a bracket), a 1 instead of the word true (again, missing a parameter value). Nothing is working.
So my question is kindof two-fold: 1) how do you pass in the value at all and 2) more specifically, how do you pass in multiple values (both true & false) ??

I'm sorry for being so dense, but I'm not quite following, although what I've tried makes me think if I can follow you, it will work :)
To answer your initial questions, you are correct with both your assumptions:
1) detailType is the parameter that specificies YTD/Weekly, this is a "report defined" parameter that I am using to determine which Row Group to display (either YTD or Weekly)
2) SchoolDaysActiveWeek is the parameter that is being set to either true or false -- this is a field in the cube that states whether that record is for the current week or not
So in following your instructions, well that's the problem I'm not quite following :)
1) When you say Delete the SchoolDaysActiveWeek parameter from the report only, do you mean to mark the parameter as Hidden? If so, I've done this.
2) I'm not quite sure where to use the statement you provided me. You said to put it in the dataset, but I don't know which dataset. I assume you mean the "main" dataset (as opposed to the hidden dataset that gets generated when you mark a field
as a parameter). If this is the case, the only place I could see that would allow you to use such a statement is in the Filter section of the properties. I tried this, and it did not generate any errors, but it also kept my report groups from displaying
-- it just showed a blank report, so I think it probably wasn't bringing back any rows to populate them with.
I also tried going into the Expression section for the SchoolDaysActiveWeek parameter in the second screenshot and placing the statement there. When I did this and ran the report, I would get the following error:
The 'SchoolDaysActiveWeek' parameter is missing a value
So what am I missing!?
Also, thanks for taking the time to respond!!

How do I set the value of a dynamic row text field

I have a repeated row form which contains a button and multiple text fields. There is a text field (Input Data Field) further up with some information I want to place in the table and multiple buttons that I want to read the value of and set to the table. I apologize there are multiple questions I have and I am using pseudocode to describe it.
Top form looks like
InputField
| ButtonX1 | ButtonY1 | DescriptionX1 (read only Text Field)
| ButtonXn | ButtonY1 | DescriptionXn
OutputRow looks like
| ButtonOutput | OutputField1 | OutputField2 | OutputField3 |
So I would like it to do
ButtonX1.click
OutputTable.OutputRow.addInstance(true) //this works - everything else I have questions on
OutputTable.OutputRow.OutputField1.rawValue = DescriptionX1.rawValue
Question 1
How do I address the location in each table to set a value
Question 2
How do I get the value of the description field in the same table and row as the button
I would like to say something to the effect of OutputTable.OutputRow[??].OutputField1.rawValue = this.parent.DescriptionX
OutputTable.OutputRow.OutputField2 = InputField.rawValue
Same question as above - how do I specify a dynamic row - is this the proper syntax for getting the value from the input field?
OutputTable.OutputRow.OutputField3 = this.ButtonLabel
Question 3
How can I get the value of the button's label to set in the field
There should be very many of these buttons and buttons will be added - I would prefer to set the value based on the button's label to make the value easier - not requiring changing the code
Question 4 - unrelated to those above.
Is it possible to build the first table
| ButtonX | ButtonY | Description |
from an XML File. I have seen examples of how to build if it is just data, but can the XML be pushed into a form with code to do the above actions?

Each object in a form must have a unique name. I doing so it is not neccessarily the name but the path or SomExpression associated with that object that must be unique. In your case you have a Table.Row.object configuration. The Row is the part that is repeating so to give each object a unique name an instance number is placed on the repeating part. So objects in the 1st row woudl be Table.Row[0].object...objects in the second row woudl be Table.Row[1].object etc .....You can see this by adding a debug instruction on the Enter event of the description field. Put the code app.alert(this.somExpression) and when you enter the field you will see what the somExpression is. Do this for a few rows and you will see the pattern (don't forget to remove the debug code from the enter event). Now you know what you have to use to address the fields. If no instance is given it is assumed to be 0 ..that is why only the 1st row is being affected.
So now to answer your questions:
Question1: The square bracket notation is an issue for javascript (this is the notation for an array) so we have to use a different means of addressing the field to include the instance number. So to address the Description in the 3rd row we woudl use:
xfa.resolveNode("Table.Row[2].Description").rawValue = "This is my new description";
Note that the instance number is 2 for the 3rd row because the instance numbers are 0 based.
Question2. The resolveNode notation allows you to pass a string so you can also concatinate expressions to make the string. If you are writing code on a button in the same row you can get the instance that you are on by using the expression this.parent.index. The "this" portion refers to the current object (the button) and the parent.index gets you th eindex of the Buttons parent. If the button is embedded deeper in a hierarchy then you can continue to add parent indicators until you get back to the node that you want. So rewriting your expression from Q1 it woudl be:
xfa.resolveNode("Table.Row[" + this.parent.index + "].Description").rawValue = "This is my new description";
Question3: The buttons caption can be retrieved by using ButtonName.caption.value.text.value
Question4: When you say build from an XML file. What are you expecting to come from the XML file? The caption that goes on the button? Typically the XML file carries data (not to say that it cannot carry other things). Just need a bit of clarification on this one first.
Hope that helps

Please help, how should I do it?

I know nothing about a4j, but if you want to pass new parameters from JSF to the backing bean, then use f:param for commandlinks or f:attribute for commandbuttons.
The h:inputHidden just saves backing bean properties from request to request. You can't set or change it from within the JSF.
Not sure if the f:attribute will work for the a4j commandbutton (check if they have a support forum at their website?)

Thanks in advance
Kalee

Hi,
"cookie" is a reserved name. If you want to write to a session scope attribute called "cookie" then you have to call #{sessionScope.cookie}. If you want to use EL to set and read from cookies then you will have to use
#{cookie.cookieName}
Note that #{cookie} writes to and returns a map

Passing multiple integer values as parameter in SSRS

Hello,
I am trying to pass a comma separated multiple integer value parameter in SSRS report and it errors out complaining that it is not able to convert the nvarchar value to datatype int. But it works fine when I pass a single value. Here is the code I am using
for the report and I am stuck at passing multiple values.
SELECT
id,count(*) as cnt
from table
and ID in (@id) group by id
eg: if I pass 10,20,30 then I would get error however if I pass 10 then it works fine
Is there a different method to pass multiple integer values?
Thanks for your help.

A comma is, of course, a textual character and not an integer, thus the error you are getting. Multi-value parameters can be used for this.
Select "Allow multiple values"and set data type to Integer. Multi-value parameters deliver the values as an array. The query interface is smart enough to convert them to the proper syntax (comma-delimited) automatically so a statement like:
WHERE Field IN (@id)
where the parameter has an array of values {1, 2, and 3} is interpreted as:
WHERE Field IN (1,2,3)
You do not need to manually convert it in a transact SQL query. That is not the case for displaying the value array in your report. If you wish to display the array (described above) in your report as "1, 2, 3", you will need to use a join expression:
=Join(@id, ", ")
As DJ described, the other part to a multivalue parameter is the Available values. These can be set explicitly but given your example, I think it would be best to create a new dataset that retrieves a distinct list of the IDs that can be retrieved, perhaps
something like:
SELECT DISTINCT GroupName, GroupID
FROM table
WHERE [criteria]
Set the available values to use this query with GroupName (or whatever user-friendly field you choose for your dataset) as the label and the id as the value. The label field should be something the the target report user can easily identify the correct group
using.
If you don't want to or can't use a multivalue parameter for some reason then you will need to manipulate your parameter value prior to consuming it in your query. When you add the parameter to the TSql query and save the dataset, SSRS adds it to the Parameters
property of the dataset. Open the dataset properties and select the parameters tab. You should see your parameter in the list. click the expression builder (fx) button next to the value and enter this expression:
=Split(@id,",")
Note that the second element of the expression is the delimiter. If your text input has comma-space as a delimiter (1, 2, 3 vs 1,2,3) then that element must include ", ". My example just has comma so if you use that with a string "1, 2, 3"then
the resulting array will still have 3 elements but the 2nd and 3rd elements of the array will have a preceding space which will cause your dataset to error with the same error. As long as there are no non-numeric characters in any of the elements, the split6
will create the text array, SSRS will dynamically generate the correct "IN"syntax (comma separated) and SQL will convert the elements from VARCHAR to INT on the fly.

How to set a value to a Presentation Variable using GO URL?

Hi All,
     I am working on a drill (GO URL) from Dashboard page1 to Dashboard page2.
     The problem I am facing is, I am not able to pass a value to the presentation variable through GO URL. (I have to pass "Customer Category" static
value to The presentation variable present in Dashboard Page2 ).
     The Dashboard page2 is having a view select in which we are using presentation variable to select the report based on the value selected in
View Select.
     For example: If the user selects "Customer Category" value in View select and clicks on GO button Customer Category report will show the out put.
     When i am drilling from Dashboard Page1 I have to pass a value to the presentation variable used in view select and also pass some filter condition in
     GO URL.
     Please let me know if it is feasible to pass a value to the presentation variable through GO URL in OBIEE 10.1.3.4.
     It will be greate if you can provide me with the syntax to set a value to the presentation variable of dashboard page2 through GO URL.
Thanks and Regards,
Sagar Vishwanathwar.

1) You have to navigate to dashboard page, not to answer request = you have to use "Dashboard URL API" not GO URL API.
2) On the target page, you have to place dashboard prompt, which sets required presentation variable.
3) Refer to the target using Dashboard URL API and set filter on prompt column using URL parameters. Example: http://localhost:9704/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard&PortalPath=%2Fusers%2Fadministrator%2F_portal&Page=page%201&Action=Navigate&P0=1&P1=eq&P2=D_TIME.YEAR_CODE&P3=%221996%22
Do not forget to use Action=Navigate. The syntax for setting filters using url parameter is the same as for GO URL API described in Business Intelligence Presentation Services Administration Guide.
This is the way, you can implement navigation to parametrized direct SQL reports including passing filter values...

How to Pass a HEX-Value to AdobeLifeCycle (TA:SFP) .

Hello all,
how to pass a HEX-Value to print a BLACK RIGHT-POINTING TRIANGLE?
I want to pass a HEX value to AdobeLifeCycle (TA:SFP).
This is done as follwoing:
*-- Variablen
DATA hex(2) TYPE x.
SET BIT: 01 OF hex TO 0,
         02 OF hex TO 0,
         03 OF hex TO 1,
         04 OF hex TO 0,
         05 OF hex TO 0,
         06 OF hex TO 1,
         07 OF hex TO 0,
         08 OF hex TO 1,
         09 OF hex TO 1,
         10 OF hex TO 0,
         11 OF hex TO 1,
         12 OF hex TO 1,
         13 OF hex TO 1,
         14 OF hex TO 0,
         15 OF hex TO 1,
         16 OF hex TO 0.
The HEX-VALUE ist u201E25BAu201C from the codepage 4110 = BLACK RIGHT-POINTING TRIANGLE, (use TA:SPC to see it).
I set the HEX-VALUE before i call the PDF-OUTPUT:
move hex to ls_frmglobal-hex. u201E(the field ist defined as u201ERAWSTRINGu201C)
Then i call the Output;
Now call the generated function module
CALL FUNCTION fm_name
EXPORTING
    /1bcdwb/docparams = fp_docparams
    frmglobal         = ls_frmglobal
    frmisu            = ls_frmisu
    frminf            = ls_frminf
    connections       = connections
    t_sums            = t_sums
EXCEPTIONS
    usage_error       = 1
    system_error      = 2
    internal_error    = 3
    OTHERS            = 4.
The result is u201E25BAu2018 instead of the BLACK RIGHT-POINTING TRIANGLE.
Can any one have a idea what is goning wrong?
I know how to print a Triangle on the Designer the quetion is how to pass the Hex-Value from a different codepage than the Stanndard codepage which we use.
Thanks and regards
Ibrahim

I am trying to match \xfa which means that match faas
a hex value.
All I want to know is how to use the RE class tocheck
for a cetain hex value.
Correction:
If the data is numeric, it can be matched using a hex,
or octal representation for the regular
expression. for instance, the numeric value 6 will be
matched with either of the following regexes (hex,
and octal, respectively). Read the API for
the Pattern class if this doesn't make sense.
"\06"
"\006"(Should have checked first...)
