Passing variable as an input parametere to a transaction through an url;

hi ,
I am calling a transaction through an url into which i want to pass the input parametere to the transaction as an variable; my question is
is it possible? if yes then how?

Hi Diana ,Thanks for taking intrest in my question . I hav already gone through that link which you have given, what my question is that,
consider this ex. given below
Transaction=Test/YieldCalc&YieldFactor=10.0&OutputParameter=YieldAverage.
in the above call i am passing 10.0 as input to the parameter YieldFactor .
what i want to do is to store this value of 10.0 in a variable and then pass this variable to the parameter YieldFactor,
say,
var xxx=10.0;
Transaction=Test/YieldCalc&YieldFactor="xxx"&OutputParameter=YieldAverage.
I have tried like this but it didnt worked.
is it possible ?
how?

How to pass variable value to field of standard sap transaction.

Hi Experts,
i want to pass the value of variable to field of standard sap transaction. but that field is not having the parameter ID. so please tell me how i pass the value to field.
thanks in advance.

You might like to provide a few more details of which field and transaction you are trying to interact with... typical solutions involve user exits / BAdIs / Enhancements, or transaction variants, or building a BDC to part fill the screens of the Tcode you are calling.

Issue with Input Parameters & Variables

Hello Gurus,
I have a situation where, when the user enter “Parent Company” say for ex: ABC, then the over all
Result should filter by ‘ABC’, and then there is key figure column where I need to consider not equal to ABC and then sum the key figure.
In HANA, here both variables and Input patemters are mutually exclusive. Is there any way that I can pass the value of the variable to the input parameters without writing the code in Analytical or calculation views.
If it’s BW-bex, it was very straight forward, I can create the variable for parent company ‘ABC’, put it as global filter, so that whenever the user selects ‘ABC” it should display on ABC data in the out put.
I can also use the same variable and crate calculated column in BEx and attach the variable to the key figure and say the sum the key figure but exclude the Parent company “ABC’.
I have tried the projection view and try to put filter on it, but it did not work. My requirement is
Whenever the user selects ABC, it should display only ABC data, only 10 records out of 100 records and for one key figure column; I need to aggregate but excluding the Parent company “ABC”.
Can I pass the Variable value to input parameters without writing the code?
Regards
Ramakrishnan Ramanathaiah

How about the following:
Assuming you have 2 characteristics (Plant and Parent company) and 1 KF (Net Sales).
Now let's create a projection with Filter using Input parameter on Parent company (with user input value as ABC), which might give the output as:
Plant
comp
Net Sales
P1
ABC
10
P2
ABC
5
Now, let's create a second projection with the Calc KF "Net Sales calculated" with the formula as:
if comp = $input_value$, then 0 else Net_Sales.. this way you can simulate the EXCLUDE functionality.
Plant
comp
Net sales
P1
ABC
0
P1
BCD
15
P2
ABC
0
Now union both the projections with two diff KFs, Net Sales and Net Sales Calculated.
Plant
Net Sales
Net Sales Calc
P1
10
15
P2
5
0
Subsequent model depends on your reporting drilldown requirement. If you drilldown Parent company also in the rows, then you will see the split in the values.
Please try this and let us know if it works or what other issues come up.. we can try resolving the issues..

Pass a datarow as input parameter in a stored procedure

Hi everyone!
I wonder if anyone know how to pass a datarow (better if tipized like "tablenameRow") as input parameter for a stored procedure.
links or suggestions are welcome! (i'm newbie in .net programming, so if you can post some code i'll be really grateful!)
Thank you!

Hi,
YES!! its possible you can pass a datarow to a SP from your Dot net application.
Here below i'm going to give you an example for Desktop Application.
For Passing a datarow as Input Parameters, your SP need to support for all these parameters.
I mean, if a data row has 03 Columns. Then your procedure should be able to take 03 arguments/parameters.
--Adjust code according to your need.
--Its for C# Desktop application.
--Visual Studio Professional, Framework (2.0)
//Setting connections.
OracleConnection con=new OracleConnection("Data Source=orcl9i; user id=scott; password=tiger");
OracleComand cmd=new OracleCommand(con);
cmd.Type=CommandType.StoredProcedure; //you are useing SP
cmd.Text="my_stored_procedure"; //Mention SP name.
--if DataRow has Three columns. You need three parameters.
OracleParameter p1=new OracleParameter ();//By default parameters are input parameters.
OracleParameter p2=new OracleParameter ();
OracleParameter p3=new OracleParameter ();
//We assume that Datarow already has data in it.
p1.ParametersName="sp_var1 ";
p1.OracleDbType=OracleDbType.Varchar;
p1.Value=tablenameRow[1]; //Here DataRow object's Column1 is input.
p2.ParametersName="sp_var2 ";
p2.OracleDbType=OracleDbType.Varchar;
p2.Value=tablenameRow[2]; //Here DataRow object's Column2 is input.
p3.ParametersName="sp_var3 ";
p3.OracleDbType=OracleDbType.Varchar;
p3.Value=tablenameRow[3]; //Here DataRow object's Column3 is input.
cmd.OracleParameter.Add(p1); //Add parameters.
cmd.OracleParameter.Add(p2); //Add parameters.
cmd.OracleParameter.Add(p3); //Add parameters.
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); //Execute Procedure here.
Feel free to ask if still found problem.

How to bind/pass multiple input parameters to sql query in BPEL Process

Hi,
I have a requirement to invoke a query on a database table to fetch the records based on the few input values or bind variables?
I have created a Partner link using the DBAdapter service and have used custom SQL, how can i bind and pass multiple bind/input parameters for these queries.
foreg: if i have to query employee records based on name , desgination and age, these three params would be my input parameter that i will pass when i invoke the BPEL process, bow how can i pass these parameters to the partner link using DBADAPTER service.
Please help
Regards

If the parameter-value is not known beforehand and cannot be determined based on the process instance data at that time, there are 2 options. Either invoke the PL/SQL procedure you named using a DB adapter service to get the value and pass it to the other DB adapter service. Or create a single service (e.g. PL/SQL procedure) that determines the parameter value, executes the query and returns the result. However, this is more a design issue. Does it makes sense to combine these actions in a separate service and use it or are these actions not related? You furthermore state that additional (DB adapter) services make the process heavier. Do you have strict requirements on the time process-instances may run or other such requirements? If not, I think the design-choice on whether combining these actions in a single service should have more priority.

Pass form input parameters during login

I would like to add an additional parameter during login as a flag and capture the value as a session variable. Does anyone have any ideas how to do this? The code for the login form is below, and I understand that NQUser and NQPassword are passed as system session variables. Is there any way for me to add an additional input named NQTest and capture NQTest as a session variable?
<form name="logonForm" method="post" action="saw.dll?Dashboard" onsubmit="return SAWLogonWait()" target="_self">
<input type="hidden" name="saveLangPref" value="true">
<input type="hidden" name="icharset" value="us-ascii">
<input type="textbox" name="NQUser" size="25" value="">
<input type="password" name="NQPassword" size="25" value="">
<input type="submit" value="Log In">
</form>
I'd prefer not to pass my variable through the URL due to security concerns: http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2007/07/30/customizing-obi-ee-%E2%80%93-go-url-parameters/
Edited by: EricPSU on Oct 23, 2009 9:36 AM

My solution is as follows. In the OBIEE Login form, I put a new INPUT parameter called "TEST":
<input type="hidden" id="TEST" name="TEST" value="This is the test value">
Then in instanceconfig.xml within the <ServerInstance> tags, I added the following code to capture the value:
<Auth>
     <UserIdPassword="true">
          <ParamList>
               <Param name="TEST" source="url" nameInSource="TEST">
          </ParamList>
     </UserIdPassword>
</Auth>
Now in the admin tool I can reference my variable value with VALUEOF(NQSESSION.TEST)

Passing input parameters to the method call in ADF task flow.

Hi,
I have the following use case:
There is a task flow with 2 jspx pages. In the first page I have 2 input search parameters and search button. the search button calls the webservice data control execute (GET_ACCOUNTOperation) method .
Displaying the search results in the same page is not a problem , but my requirement is that the search results are to be displayed in the second page in tabular form.
To achieve this, I dragged the execute method as the method call in the task flow and specified the input parameters for the method call (right click and add parameters) . I am getting the following exception :

even though the execute method is there and the service is up and running. I am not sure whether its the correct way of doing it. Please shed some light on how to solve this use case
Some additional info:
Under the data controls pallete, the GET_ACCOUNTOperation method has a parameters section , which has "part" (java.lang.Object) as
the input parameter.

Rampal

Hi,
thanks for the quick turn-around. Jdev version that i am using is Studio Edition Version 11.1.1.6.0. And i am using SOAP. Isnt there a way without using a backing bean? I am planning to use it as a portlet. Would'nt creating a backing bean cause a problem in that case?? Also i am confused here . The method that i am dragging is GET_ACCOUNTOperation(Object). I tried passing the hashmap . It gave the following exception :
javax.el.MethodNotFoundException: Method not found: GET_ACCOUNTOperation.execute(java.util.HashMap)

Strange behaviour when passing many input parameters to web service

Hello!!!
I developed a web service with 52 input parameters using tomcat+axis!
While testing it in my development enviroment everything was working fine
(LAN consisted of three windows 2000 server machines!!!)
When i deployed it in my customer enviroment (VPN with 200 isdn connections) i get a very strange error:
AxisFault
faultCode: {http://xml.apache.org/axis/}HTTP
faultSubcode:
faultString: (0)null
faultActor:
faultNode:
faultDetail:
{}string: return code: 0
(0)null
when i used tcptracer in order to understand what is going on,
I realised that the error occurs when the http request is more than 1350 bytes.
Can someone explain this behaviour?
thanks in advance!
sarantos

Hi Sarantos,
I think, there is nothing wrong in the axis engine nor the http request limits as you said. I tried the same passing a 60 kb String as an argument to an operation , getting the results perfectly.
So problem could be with the method capacity size of your implementation. (I think default it is 64kb)

Passing Input parameters to BPEl Process

Hi,
The requirement is to link OBIEE report and a BPEl Process.By clcking on the link in OBIEE report , the BPEl process should be executed which accepts the input parameters at run time from the user along with the input parameters being passed from OBIEE report.I am stuck with how to pass the parameters from OBIEE report to BPEL process.I'm using OBI V 10.1.3.3 and developed the BPEL process using Oracle JDeveloper.Could someone help me in resolving this?
Thanks,
Vidya

hi vid
the bpel process talks in language of web services ie partener links , i guess there must be some way of creating web service of obi and then you can make the two talk, also you can have reverse approach by generating axis client of BPEL webservice and using this client jar in your other obiee whatever....
hope this helps....

Create an API to Launch an LabVIEW Built Executable and Pass it Input Parameters

Hello,
I'm looking for a way to create an API to Launch/Close an executable, created with LabVIEW, which in additional to Launching/Closing tht executable, will also allow me to pass input parameters.
To give you some background, I'm working on a logging utility, basically a background dameon, which I currently have implemented as a LabVIEW packed library and my API is a few VIs to launch that daemon and pass it a filename and a logging rate. Functionally it works just fine however is executes within LabVIEW not as an independent process. So instead of using a packed library, I would like to compile my logging daemon down to an executable but I still need a way to launch it and pass it parameters from an external application (such as Teststand).
I know you can launch executables and pass parameters using windows command lines, but I'm wondering if there is a more direct method such as a DLL that I could call in Teststand? Thanks.
Post CLD and when I'm a CLA when someone asks who I am, I can spin around in my chair and say "I am... the architect."

When Teststand Launches the Logger, it does so by opening a reference to the logger daemon using the "Open VI Reference" primitive and then it launches an instance of the dameon using the "Start Asynchronous Call" node.
This currently, launches the logger within labview not teststand. If I were to directly call the logger daemon VI itself as a step in TestStand, then it could run in a new teststand thread. At that point I would need a way to stop that logger which I should be able to do by storing a reference to its control queue within the teststand thread that it is running in. Since teststand let's you specify VI execution in the runtime engine instead of LabVIEW that might do the job.
The one catch is once the sequence completes, the logger does some cleanup, post processing, etc that depending on the amount of data captured can take some time so if a set of sequences needs to be executed, this could hang up teststand until that post processing is completed. That is one reason why I wanted it to execute outside of testtand so that additonal sequences could continue to run while the daemon finishes up in the background.
But, it's something I'll have to look into.

How to pass variable number of parameters to a FORM.

Hi,
What is the correct syntax to pass variable number of parameters to a subroutine?

Hana Input Parameters/Variables in BOE

Gurus,
I am looking at Explorer 4.1 against our Hana Environment and the only time I can set my values for my Calc View IP/Var is when I Validate the objects when defining my InfoSpace, I cant create any filters in the infoSpace, Our security is handled with one of the Input Parameters If I cant get these to appear during exploration run time we cant use explorer.
Has anyone been able to get IP/Var from hana view to show up in explorer at run time? I saw in some documentation from 2012 that this was not possible but cant find anything newer saying if this was ever addressed.
Your Help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Alex

Hello Alex,
one year ago we tried to work with input parameters in Explorer with BI 4.0 SP4, but it didn't work.
We found a solution with the Personalisation feature in Explorer. With this, we are able to filter the data according to the username of each user. I don't know if it's what you mean by "security".
We are in 4.1 SP4 now, and we didn't found any other solution so far...

Calling report from a form with user input parameters

Hello,
I am new to Oracle reports. I have an application coded in 6i. I am currently running the application in Oracle Forms Builder 9i. There are also few reports which are called from the forms. Since the application was developed in 6i, the report was called using Run_Product. The forms pass a set of user parameters to the report using the parameter list pl_id. The syntax used was Run_Product(REPORTS, 'D:\Report\sales.rdf', SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM, pl_id, NULL);
I learnt that the Run_product doesnt work in 9i and we need to use run_report_object. I have changed the code to use run_report_object and using web.show_document () i am able to run the report from the form. There are 2 parameters that need to be passed from forms to reports. The parameters are from_date and to_date which the user will be prompted to enter on running the form. In the report, the initial values for these parametes are defined. So, the report runs fine for the initial value always. But when i try to change the user inputs for the form_date and to_date, the report output doesnt seem to take the new values, instead the old report with the initial values(defined in the report) runs again.
Can someone give me the code to pass the user defined parameters to the report from the forms? I have defined a report object in the forms node as REPTEST and defined a parameter list pl_id and added form_date and to_date to pl_id and used the following coding:
vrepid := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT ('REPTEST');
vrep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT (vrepid,pl_id);
But this doesnt work.
Also, Should the parameters defined in the forms and reports have the same name?

Thanks for the quick response Denis.
I had referred to the document link before and tried using the RUN_REPORT_OBJECT_PROC procedure and ENCODE functions as given in the doc and added the following SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY in the RUN_REPORT_OBJECT_PROC :
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_OTHER,' FROM_DATE='||:BLK_INPUT.FROM_DATE||' TO_DATE='||:BLK_INPUT.TO_DATE||' paramform=no');
But this also dint work. Please help me understand what difference does setting paramform=no OR paramform=yes make?
In the report, i have defined the user parameters as FROM_DATE and TO_DATE respectively so that they match the form datablock BLK_INPUT items FROM_DATE and TO_DATE.
My WHEN_BUTTON_PRESSED trigger is as below:
DECLARE
report_id report_object;
vrep VARCHAR2 (100);
v_show_document VARCHAR2 (2000) := '/reports/rwservlet?';
v_connect VARCHAR2 (30) := '&userid=scott/tiger@oracle';
v_report_server VARCHAR2 (30) := 'repserver90';
BEGIN
report_id:= find_report_object('REPTEST');
-- Call the generic PL/SQL procedure to run the Reports
RUN_REPORT_OBJECT_PROC( report_id,'repserver90','PDF',CACHE,'D:\Report\sales.rdf','paramform=no','/reports/rwservlet');

END IF;
In the code - " hidden_action := hidden_action ||'&'|| v_report_other; " in the RUN_REPORT_OBJECT_PROC procedure above, how do i make sure that the v_report_other variable reflects the user input parameters FROM_DATE and TO_DATE ??? v_report_other is initialised as v_report_other VARCHAR2(4000) :=''; in the procedure. Will ensuring that the v_report_other contains the user input parameters FROM_DATE and TO_DATE ensure that my report will run fine for the input parameters?
Thanks in advance.
