Passing two values in a column prompt for display and filtering

Hi All,
Is there a workaround to use two columns in a prompt for display and passing the input value for a prompt value in dashboard prompt? For eg we want to display the description in the prompt but pass the id to the filter value or presentation variable, just like we have in bi publisher,LOV automatically grab the two value for display and actual value to pass to the query.Therefore, user will click the description and corresponding id will be saved in presentation variable from the prompt .
Thanks,
Sushil

How can I pass a value to the command prompt?

I was wondering how can I pass a value to the command prompt with Windows and Linux? I'm more interested in Linux's system than Windows though. Is there a way to return info from the command prompt?

Here is a snippet from http://mindprod.com/jglossexec.html that explains how in detail.
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("myprog.exe") will spawn an external process that runs in parallel with the Java execution. In Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP, you must use an explicit *.exe or *.com extension on the parameter. It is also best to fully qualify those names so that the system executable search path is irrelevant, and so you don't pick up some stray program off the path with the same name.
To run a *.BAT, *.CMD, *.html *.BTM or URL you must invoke the command processor with these as a parameter. These extensions are not first class executables in Windows. They are input data for the command processor. You must also invoke the command processor when you want to use the < > | piping options, Here's how, presuming you are not interested in looking at the output:
Runtime.getRuntime( ).exec ("command.com /E:1900 /C MyBat.bat" );
Runtime.getRuntime( ).exec ("cmd.exe /E:1900 /C MyCmd.cmd" );
Runtime.getRuntime( ).exec ("C:\\4DOS601\\4DOS.COM /E:1900 /C MyBtm.btm" );
Runtime.getRuntime( ).exec ("D:\\4NT301\\4NT.EXE /E:1900 /C MyBtm.btm" );
There are also overloaded forms of exec(),
Runtime.getRuntime( ).exec ("command.com /E:1900 /C MyBat.bat", null);
Runtime.getRuntime( ).exec ("command.com /E:1900 /C MyBat.bat", null, "C:\\SomeDirectory");
The second argument can be a String [], and can be used to set environment variables. In the second case, "C:\\SomeDirectory" specifies a directory for the process to start in. If, for instance, your process saves files to disk, then this form allows you to specify which directory they will be saved in.
Windows and NT will let you feed a URL string to the command processor and it will find a browser, launch the browser, and render the page, e.g.
Runtime.getRuntime( ).exec ("command.com http://mindprod.com/projects.html" );
Another lower level approach that does not require extension associations to be quite as well set up is:
Runtime.getRuntime( ).exec ("rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler http://mindprod.com/projects.html" );
Note that a URL is not the same thing as a file name. You can point your browser at a local file with something like this: file://localhost/E:/mindprod/jgloss.html or file:///E|/mindprod/jgloss.html.
Composing just the right platform-specific command to launch browser and feed it a URL to display can be frustrating. You can use the BrowserLauncher package to do that for you.
Note that
rundll32.exe url.dll,FileProtocolHandler file:///E|/mindprod/jgloss.html
won't work on the command line because | is reserved as the piping operator, though it will work as an exec parameter passed directly to the rundll32.exe executable.
With explicit extensions and appropriately set up associations in Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP you can often bypass the command processor and invoke the file directly, even *.bat.
Similarly, for Unix/Linux you must spawn the program that can process the script, e.g. bash. However, you can run scripts directly with exec if you do two things:
Start the script with #!bash or whatever the interpreter's name is.
Mark the script file itself with the executable attribute.
Alternatively start the script interpreter, e.g.
Runtime.getRuntime( ).exec (new String[]{"/bin/sh", "-c", "echo $SHELL"}";

How to pass a value to a filter prompt based on a value list?

I have a query that has a filter prompt that is based on a value list. I want to call this query from another query as a drill down.
So I build the URL to call the query and pass the value for the filter prompts as URL parameters. For the filter prompts that are simple text fields this works without problems, but how do I pass a value to the filter prompt that is based on the value list?
I tried passing
<parameterName>=<valueListId>:616:null
and that gives me "None" for the value list prompt as expected.
I then tried to pass the DisplayName (as I would do when setting a default value for the prompt).
Like this:
<parameterName>=<displayName>
but that does not work.
I also tried some variations/combinations like
<parameterName>=<valueListId>:616:<displayName>
but that does not work either.
So does anybody know how to pass a parameter to the value list prompt?

Prompting for password and username only when using dynamic parameters

Post Author: Co3023
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
How do I stop CR XI prompting for password and username only when using dynamic parameters. When no dynamic parameters are used CR XI isn't prompting for the DB user name and password. The report is run from an application which passes the user name and password. I am using Oracle and the problem is both with the native oracle driver and the ODBC RDO driver.

I didnt ask you to change it to static I said I took the parameters totally out of the report. Saved it. Then re-enter the dynamic parameters into the report and it worked for me. That might have worked for you, not sure why you changed it to static.
Ok I have just created a quick report using dynamic parameters, it didnt ask me for the username password.
Can you create a sample report - just to test the db? and see if it works? add only 1 or 2 fields in the report, create parameters (dynamic) and see if it works
why don't you embed the username and password in your application, it won't ask for username password then.

How to use Special value set with Column clause to display addtional column

hi
can anyone tell me
How to use Special value set with Column clause to display addtional column
how can i use FND POPID and with COLUMN clause ?

Dear Yaseen,
To get the value in formula cumulative,after you have created the formula for that particular key figure,go to edit and click on tab "calculations".
In that select overall result as 'count all values not equal to zero' and single result as 'count all values not equal to zero' .
And mark the cumulative check box underneath.
I hope you get the desired result and please do me favour .

I cannot download an app from the app store, it keeps loading until it says "You have already purchased this app so it will be downloaded no at no additional charge", and then it prompt for password and I input it after which nothing happens.
I know my icloud has record of my installing this app before, but that was the first install that was failed during that time some other apps also keeps loading without respond whey they updated itself, and this app didn't install before I restart the device. But I don't see this app on my device after I restarted the device so it should have been installed on my device. It seems icloud has created some kind of dead loop that makes it not able to get the correct status about this app on my device.
I have no problem install this app on my other device (iPad) with the same account, but just fail on my iPhone. And it just fine installing other apps...... What happened !!?? @@
Please help !!!

Someone help! I dont know how to do this and please put the words into an easy way to understand because im young...

Network printers prompting for username and password

With the more recent OS upgrades I can now see my printers on my home network. Very cool. When I select one to print, I am prompted for a username and password. I have tried my network keys with no luck and cannot set a password on my printers. Is this unusual and if not, what should I be using?

You can try to take a fiddler trace in both scenarios and then search for the differences. This issue seems to be related with your network configuration that with the product itself.
In fiddler you can identify what verb is requesting for credentials and from there you can go further with troubleshooting.

Prompting for username and password for opening

Hi,
The domain of my organisation is xyz.com. So when try to access any office doc from the office network it opens the office docs without any prompt in office client. But whenever try to access them using VPN or citrix it asks for the username and password.
Then if I give credentials or cancel it irrespective of that it opens the doc for me.
The sites are in trusted zone. It is happening for 2010 and 2013 both. But for pdf it is not prompting.
Why it is asking for credentials and how to mitigate this so that it opens directly from everywhere.

Outlook 2013 on Windows 8.1 keeps prompting for username and password.

Hi,
I have a HP Pavillion TouchSmart laptop with MS Windows 8.1 OS. I had installed MS Outlook 2013 Standard. This laptop is joined to the domain like many of my users, however, it keeps prompting for username and password. The emails are still able to send
and receive without any problem.
I have tried to check the connectivity, both cables and wireless are well connected.
I have tried to reinstall the Outlook 2013, but it still occurs.
Attempted to recreate profile but it still occurs.
For the configuration:
I have selected negotiate authentication, and have unchecked the box that states
"Always prompt for login credentials"
Please advise.
Thank you.

Word 2010 prompts for username and password when opening a document on trusted website

Hi Guys,
We have a website (not sure if the site is a sharepoint site) on our trusted domain that asked for username and password when trying to access it. I added the site to our trusted sites zone and this resolved the issue however when I try to open word documents
I get prompted for usernames and password again if I cancel the credentials box the document opens with no issues.
Below is some of the steps i have taken
- Tried opening other non office documents (e.g. PDF, JPEG) and they open with no issues
- Tried to opening the word documents with a system that only had word pad install and not Office 2010 and the documents open with no issues so it looks like it's an office 2010 problem
Can you please advise how I can resolve this issue and if this is a client issue or an issue on the web server thanks

Hi,
This issue is caused by the Office suit itself. When Internet Explorer opens an Office document, the appropriate Office application is started with the path of the document. The Office application then tries to access the document directly from
the server. This differs from other browsers and other file types. Most browsers download the file and call the application to open the file from the local cache. However, when this occurs, if the opened file is changed and saved,
the changes are only made to the local copy and not to the server copy.
To establish the richest experience possible, the first thing that the Office application does is communicate with the server to determine the server type and what web authoring protocol is available. The application does this by making
an OPTIONS request directly to the server.
As a new process accessing the server, the Office application is required to renegotiate authentication. This method is more secure than a method in which the new process uses an existing authentication that was established by the browser.
Please try the following methods:
An alternative with full functionality but with a calculated risk
Client approaches that can reduce the impact
Alternative configurations when the web server does not support DAV or reduced functionality is acceptable

Users prompted for username and password after sharing removed from servers

Hello Community
    On Sharepoint 2010 Server using the UI in a 2 server farm with an intranet running on it and everything functions as it should. However it was noticed that from a users computer when in "Windows Explorer" if "Network"
is clicked the 2 servers are visible.
    The problem is that when the server are clicked on in Windows Explorer the files and folders on the hard drive of the servers are visible too.
    Subsequently I logged onto the server and when into "Properties' - "Sharing" and
unchecked the checkbox to "Share this folder".
    That solved the problem of the users being able to see and access the files
and folders on servers hard drives but now when the users log onto the intranet
they are prompted for a user name and password and even when they provide the user
name and password and the page is returned the prompt appears on the screen again(then they cancel out).
    What can be done about the user being prompted for username and password without sharing the drives on the servers ?
    Thank you
    Shabeaut

What exactly was shared out from the SharePoint server's file system? There are certain things that are shared by default.

Prompt for username and password when executing servlet

In Weblogic 5.1 when I set the username and password in weblogic.properties file, it prompts for the usertname and password when I execute the gatewayServlet
weblogic.allow.execute.weblogic.servlet.servlets/gateway.administration=vijay
weblogic.password.vijay=password
But I guess this is not the way it can be implemented in 8.1. Please let me know how I can prompt for username and password when executing the servlet. I dont want it to be done programatically. Please let me know whether I can set anything on the properties file.
Thanks
