Passing variable values to the navigation block

Hi WAD Experts,
I have a requirement regarding passing variable values to the navigation block. User requirement is first give the selections on the selection screen and then after executign output should display in browser. In the output page we have a navigation block. So when user gives selections those selections should also populate in the navigation block. Your help will be appreciated.

Hi,
if your variable is 'Changeable at Query Navigation' the chosen values will appear in the Navigationblock.
Variables which are 'Not Changeable at Query Navigation'
will not appear.
You can set this Property when you create a Variable.
Kind Regards,

Changing variable values in query navigation

Hello,
We used to use the functionality of a user exit variable for a web template query and could enter a default value for a query, like yesterday's date. This allowed the web template to be presented without a user having to enter variables in order to initially see data. Then either dropdowns or the navigation block objects could be used to navigate the query. To do this the, "Can be changed in query navigation", was set to on. In BI 7.0 this functionality has been removed. Is there a way to provide a default value to a characteristic that can still be changed during query navigation?
According to documentation this functionality has been enhanced with default values in the variables but there does not seem to be a way to enter a non-fixed value and still change it during navigation.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rick

This can be done by changing the variable to be processed with user exits and changing the user exit for variables to populate the variable value at runtime.

Passing null values to the attributes of a CAF operation

Hi,
In CAF I am trying to fetch data through Web Service. For this I need to pass null value for the attributes of the operation.If I set the value to null it gives me missing parameter as the error.
Can anyone tell me how to pass null values to the attributes of a CAF operation?

Hi Xavier,
Declare the two variables of type if_wd_contex_node for e.g. lv_node and if_wd_context_element for e.g. lv_element. Now in the first one lets say lv_node get the refrence of dynamically created node like:
lv_node = wd_context->get_child_node('<node name>').
Then get the refrence of element like:
lv_element = lv_node->get_element( ). (You can also pass index as parameter check the method API)
then just set the value of attribute you want like:
lv_element->set_attribute( exporting name = '<attribute name>' value = '<your value>').

Passing different values to the same servlet

Hi,
Is there a way to pass different values to the same servlet?
Background:
I have a database that I query to acquire a list of customers, then I show each customer as a link, that when clicked will show details of that customer. (The customer table is dynamic so I can't create a new page for each customer)
When using JSP what I do is
//Do query database
while (rst.next())
String cust = rst.getString ("cust");
out.write("<a href = \"cust2.jsp?cust=" + cust + " \" >" + cust + "</a> ");
}Then on the cust2.jsp. I will use
String str = request.getParameter ("cust");to acquire the customer to get details of.
Is there a way to do the same using servlets?
I could swap to JSP when creating this particular part of the project but it won't look good and it would help me learn a few things when there is another way.

I want to know if there is a way to pass a variable from a webpage link like in my JSP example using servlets.
Here is what I wanted to do:
I have a webpage that contains customer names and each name has a link to the same servlet (let's say the link is famia/servb). I want servb to show detailed information about the customer my visitor clicked in the webpage.
The logic I was thinking is to pass a variable to this servlet, then I can use that variable to know which customer should I query in my database. So that I can show the details to my users.
Here lies my problem, I don't know how I can pass this variable, or even know which customer my visitor clicked. I can't use a new servlet for each client since the customer is in a database and if my customer base grows then I would need to create a lot more web page that does the same thing.
The JSP example I gave is how I will be coding it if I am using JSP, but now I am using servlets. So I was wodnering if there is a way to do this using servlet. Or should I stay with using JSP for this particular logic and just call servb after the JSP page acquired the variable.
I'm trying not to use "<original URL> + ? + <variable> = <value>" (eg: http://www.famia.net/customer?cust=famia) as the means for passing the variable. (or in the example as a means of passing variable cust with value famia)

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"}";

Acrobat pro Extended | Passing variable value with Querystring

Hi,
We are facing issue with opening a web link with passing a variable value as query string parameter. We have added a form button on the pdf page, on click of it we have opened a web page and we want to pass a variable value in the query string. We can not give the hard code value in querystring, as the value keeps on changing.
Please refer to the images below.
here the data will be my variable name, which contains some value. When i execute it, it passes data as a string, i want to pass its value in the query string parameter. How i can do this?
I had found one more way, is to call a function on the form button click, and in that pass the query string parameter as a variable, it works. But the problem in this case i am faceing is, in the app.launchURL command i have to provide a http path, means something like http://www.google.com, then only it works. I have that page on my local (no server), so i want to add the path as onlu page.html
//Reference code, this fun will be called on a button click
function LaunchPage()
app.launchURL("http://www.aptara.com/page.html?value="+data+""); //this works
app.launchURL("page.html?value="+data+""); //this dosent works
Please do let me know, how i should proceed. To repeat, i want to invoke a page, which is on my local system with a querystring, in which i sud pass a variable value.
Thanks,

re: George Johnson
Thank you for the response. This process that we are looking to do is necessary. We have 400+ OLD PDF forms that currently are printed by our print shop and then manually filled out and scanned into our system. The current process requires a clinician to log into our scanning system, identify a patient chart, and then identify the type of report they are scanning in. This process is time consuming with possibility of errors (wrong chart selected, wrong form, etc.). Plus, we have to stock up to 400 forms at each location.
We don’t have the funds to convert 400+ complex forms into electronic submissions where the form fields are discrete and file accordingly. So, what we have come up with to save costs of a new system and reduce potential errors is to add a barcode to each existing form.
Basically, each form will get a barcode and a javascript function in the onload event to process and parse passed in link parameters.
So when a clinician clicks on a form link in our EMR system the form will load passing in the patient acct. number and form name into the link parameters (all on our local intranet) so it will get embedded into the barcode on the form. They will then print the form fill out the data (or have the patient fill it out) and then drop it in the scanner. Our scanning system will automatically see the barcode and file the form under the correct patient and form folder based on the barcode info. (A scanned image of the form will save to the patient profile).
Ultimately we would like to convert all of these forms to electronic signature/submission but we do not have the funds or the time to do this.

Passing variable value as a prompt

Hi All,
I have one problem related to passing variable through prompt. let's discuss whole situation. Suppose I have 5 interface having variable say user_id in each interface. And 5 packages for each interface. Now I have generated scenario for these packages. I am using these scenario to create one master package. Also I have created scenario for master package. Now I want to do something like this. When I execute scenario of this master package there should be one prompt asking value for user_Id value and that value should pass to all packages and interface and same value should be inserted in target table. I can bring prompt but can not insert that value in database.
Request you to help me out in this case.
Thanks and Regards
-Pallav

Hi Pallav,
Not sure how are you trying to insert the variable value in the database but you can create an ODI variable to capture the user entered data from the scenario UI and you can pass the same variable to the underlined package/interfaces.
Could you elaborate a bit more on the inserting the variable value in the database.
Thanks

To pass parameter values to the object reference of action step in sequence file of teststand programatically using C#.

//Initialize the Engine
            EngineClass myEngine = new EngineClass();
            myEngine.LoadTypePaletteFilesEx(TypeConflictHandlerTypes.ConflictHandler_Prompt, 0);

seqFile.Save("C:\\mySeq.seq");
I have done this,dynamically creating a sequence file in teststand programatically through c#.
Problem is
1.I created an action step and object Reference variable for the step, but i am not able to pass parameter values to the objectReference
2.I am not able to load the sequence in to the main Sequence of the sequence file in the teststand. How can I do these two things.

Hi,
have you ever followed on my Links ?!?!?

Anthony -
Currently, functionality for retrieving the Metadata Token for a class constructor or member is not fully provided in the TestStand .NET Adapter API. The DotNetModule.GetConstructorMetadataToken() and DotNetModule.GetMetadataToken() methods only return the correct Metadata Token when the member/constructor prototypes have already been loaded. Thus, in the case of your code, when you call DotNetModule.GetMetadataToken(), the method is returning -1 because the member prototype for the Step you are referring to has not yet been loaded.
That means have to do a workaround for your stuff.

Application inside an application and using URL parameter to pass variable values

hello
My requirement is to create a design studio dashboard that will have 2 applications and I should be able to pass variable values from application 1 to application 2. All this should happen in 1 dashboard application. I have tried using open document functionality
Application1.openNewWindow(URL link to application 2) . It doesn't meet my requirement as I am required to login to the other application in a new window.
Is it possible to add 2 applications in one dashboard.
thanks,

Hi Bhat,
I don't know if it is possible to open it in the same Page. But you can try using the Opendoc Parameter which allows you to enable you to pass the credentials you have used in the current Dashboard.

How to pass a value from the report to a form ( BIT OF URGENT ).

Hi,
I had created a "Form on a Table with Report" on the report I had remove the edit link and set one of the column feilds that functionality. Now I want to know how to pass that value that is clicked ( having hyper link ) on to the form where it runs a SQL query and then displays the reuslts on the form.
Illustrating with an example.
I am having these following columns on the report ( these are the results for the join statement )
JOBNUM JOBNAME DEPTNUMBER SAL EMPNO LNAME FNAME
In the above JOBNUM is having Hyper link as I removed the edit image.
Now this is area I am having problem. When the user clicked on the JOBNUM then on form it should display 20 other columns( pulled from 5 other tables ) which are related to that particualr JOBNUM.
Anybody give me a solution in which area I have to include my SQL statement and how to pass that selected value to that SQL statement.
Cheers,
Krishna

Hi Ron,
I am doing exaclty what you have suggested me but no luck. I started changing the DEMO_CUSTOMERS application to my requirements.The report is working fine and on the report I have created a page attribute to the Hyper linked column and linked that to the page 2 and assign that attribute with #JOBNUM#.
I am able to pass that value on to form when I click on the JOBNUM. But the problem is I am not able to pass that value into the SQL query so that my query pulls 20+ columns on to the Form ( which is second page ).
Small clarification... On the form region it is said FORM NAME and type is HTML is that is the way the APEX was designed or does it need to say region type as FORM.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Cheers,
Krishna.

How to Pass Parameter/Value to the second page????

Hi,
I am trying to display same popup window when I click on ADD,UPDATE and VIEW buttons. I don’t have any problem in displaying the popup when I click on ADD and UPDATE button but with VIEW button I wanted to display the popup at read only mode. In order to do that I have created a bean with session scope and set a ‘SetActionListener‘on VIEW button and set ‘from’ property to true and ‘to’ property to "#{IndividualSummaryDetails.readOnlyAddress}". I could not pass the value of readOnlyAddress to the popup. How can I pass the value of readOnlyAddress to the popup?
This value becomes true when I click on view button. If I pass that value to the popup then I can set the read only property of the fields on the popup with that value. So that the fields become read only.
Here is my View button
<af:commandButton text="#{CoreProperties['Global.commandButton.View']}"
windowHeight="450" windowWidth="600"
useWindow="true"
action="dialog:FromIndividualSummaryDetailsToAddress"
id="justView">
<af:setActionListener from="#{true}"
to="#{IndividualSummaryDetails.readOnlyAddress}"/>
Here is my Bean
public class IndividualSummaryDetails {
private Boolean readOnlyAddress;
public IndividualSummaryDetails() {
readOnlyAddress = true;
public Boolean isReadOnlyAddress() {
return readOnlyAddress;
public void setReadOnlyAddress(Boolean readOnlyAddress) {
this.readOnlyAddress = readOnlyAddress;
This value becomes true when I click on view button. If I pass that value to the popup then I can set the read only property of the fields on the popup with that value. So that the fields become read only.

Passing multiple values to the QUERY BDOC parameter?

hi All,
Below is my Query BDOC Anchor Before Query Execute even handler... I'm trying to pass multiple values to the         bq.Z_PartnerFunction query parameter... i.e.
PARTNER_FCT in( '00000012','ZDIVMGR','ZAREADR')
is it possible without creating new Query Bdoc ?
====================================
Private Sub aempchoicewinTCWSearchTAnchor_beforeQueryExecute(ByRef bq As BusinessQuery, ByRef cancel As Boolean)
If Not bq Is Nothing Then
        If sWcDummy = "Yes" Then
                bq.WcDummy = sWcDummy
        End If
        bq.Z_PartnerFunction = "00000012"
        If ctrlZ_Territory.Value <> "" Then
             bq.PRNB_TerrID = "*" & ctrlZ_Territory.Value
        End If
End If
End Sub
================================
Thanks in advance
Hetal

Hi,
it looks that you already enhanced the query BDoc because you have a new query parameter bq.Z_PartnerFunction, right?
To which BDoc parameter is this BQ parameter mapped? And how looks the related where clause?
For a single filter normally a "=" operator is used. Therefore your example with "in" won't work.
If these three partner functions are fixed then you might hardcoded them directly in the where clause (supposed the BDoc is not used somewhere else where you don't want to have this filter).
Or you might add 3 new BDoc parameters, add 3 new where clauses using a disjunction for them (and using an embracing bracket). In this case always all these 3 BQ parameters need to be filled (or all stay empty) to avoid a SQL syntax error.

How to set a variable value on the BPC Data Manager

Hello BPC Experts,
I'm creating a BPC10 NW version demo environment for our prospect customer.
I made a data manager to import BW data into BPC model from BW cube.
I need to import just one month data into BPC from the BW cube that has more than one month data.
When I run the data package manually, I can select a member of the time dimension prompt and I can import specific month data I want.
But, in a case where the program (data manager) runs by JOB monthly,
I can't select a member of the time dimension prompt manually.
So I want to know how to set a variable value to the time dimension prompt from a system date etc. automatically.
Are there any way to set a variable value to the time dimension prompt on the data manager automatically from a system date?
Or, do you have any other solution to import just one month data into BPC from the BW cube that has more than one month data by the data manager running on JOB ?
(without selecting a member of the time dimension prompt of the data package manually)
Thanks in advance,
Keisuke

Hi Gersh
