Passing variables with cfhttp

I need to pass a dynamic variable using cfhttp.
This code:
<cfhttp method="get" url="#cgi.server_name#/page.cfm?pageid=#pageid#" resolveurl="Yes">
<cfoutput>
    #cfhttp.FileContent#
</cfoutput>
Returns the error:
The 3 parameter of the Mid function, which is now -8, must be a non-negative integer.
This code returns the same error.
<cfhttp method="post" url="#cgi.server_name#/page.cfm" resolveurl="Yes">
    <cfhttpparam type="Formfield"
        value="#pageid#"
        name="pageid">
</CFHTTP>
<cfoutput>
    #cfhttp.FileContent#
</cfoutput>
Any assistance would be appreciated.

You don't say what line in your code is throwing the error...??? Try putting a
<CFDUMP var="#cgi#">
before the first line and a
<CFDUMP var="#cfhttp#">
after the CFHTTP call. That will help you to understand if there is something wrong with the CGI var you are trying to pass as part of the URL, and will also show you whether the CFHTTP gets executed and what the return status is. Let us know how that works out and we can help you with further debugging.
good luck!

Passing variables with page redirect

I have a cfform. After it is filled out and submitted, the
action page generates a random reference_no and puts the data into
a database. I then do a cflocation url and pass the reference_no to
another page. This page takes the reference_no and does a cfquery
again to get all the information just entered and displays it on
the form. A javascript popup/alert message then tells the user the
form was submitted with the reference_no and to print the form. I
was advised to do it this way so that the form cannot be
resubmitted again. Everything works fine the way I have it.
Now here is what I would like to do. After the form is
displayed with the popup, I would like to pause 3-5 seconds and
then redirect that page to another page that is identical (minus
the javascript popup message) with the cfdoucment tag because I
want them to print the form in pdf format. The problem I am having
is when I do another cflocation url at the end of the display page
and pass the referendce_no, to go to the pdf page, it works but it
never stops at the display page to display the javascript popup
message. So I tried to use the meta tag refresh rediredct set at 3
seconds and pass the reference_no. The display page with the
javascript message works then the page is redirected but the
reference_no is never passed and the pdf form comes up but without
anything to display. I guess you cannot pass variables in a meta
tag since that is not cf ?
How can I go from the page with the javascript popup to the
page with cfdocuement pdf format ?
Thanks

You would have to craft the url of the popup page to pass the
reference_no. I'm going to assume that you're using the "Post"
method on your form, which means you have to pass the reference_no
form value as a url/GET value.
<cflocation
url="somesite.com/popup.cfm?reference_no="#form.reference_no#">
and then on the popup.cfm page, consume the url.reference_no
again as part of the url in the meta refresh
<cfoutput>
<meta http-equiv="refresh"
content="10;url=http://somesite..com/pdfDisplay.cfm?reference_no=#url.reference_no#"
/>
</cfoutput>
If you're just trying to prevent double submission, you could
just lock the
form from double submission clientside. In the method below,
it actually hides the form. There are other options such as
displaying an inline IFRAME which would simulate a popup and would
remain until the page was refreshed from the form submission. I
would also consider this old school. You might want to check out
other options as far as Web 2.0 using AJAX and frameworks such as
JQuery.
<script language="javascript">
function formSubmit(){
if (document.myForm.isSubmitted.value != "no"){
return false;
}else{
document.myForm.isSubmitted.value = "yes";
document.getElementById('submitdiv').style.display =
"block";
document.getElementById('formdiv').style.display = "none";
document.myForm.submit();
</script>
<div id="submitdiv" style="display:none">
Your Form has been submitted.
</div>
<div id="formdiv" style="display:block">
<form method="post" name="myForm" id="myForm"
action="HandleSubmission.cfm">
<input type="text" name="isSubmitted" value="no">
<input type="button" name="manSubmit" value="submit"
onclick="formSubmit();">
</form>
</div>

Passing Variable with a URL

Hi,
I’m trying to pass variables first - from a non-secure
web site to a secure (on another server) form. I have that figured
out, but when I go to submit the form, the variables I passed to
the form, are not showing up on my return e-mail from the form.
Here is the code for the FORM ACTION & Reurn Template -

What do you see in the URL scope when you CFDUMP the page?
(Hint: this problem is about scoping variables.)

READURL Call on Macintosh, won't pass variables with spaces???

Here is my code and the problem. I am trying to passing a
tablename and a classname with READURL and the PHP script takes the
info and returns to me my classid. This works wonderfully on the
PC, but on the MAC, when I click on a classname with a space I get
back a empty string as my return value.....here is my code from AW
and PHP......If you can help I would readlly appreciate it.

http doesn't like spaces in URLs.
This clicking on a classname -- is that happening on a web
page, or in AW?
Either way, you should urlencode the link. Replace any spaces
in the URL
with + signs, either manually on a web page, or by using the
replace
function in AW [replace("", "+", string)]. Then, in your PHP
script, you can
change the $_classname assignment to include urldecode:
$_classname = urldecode($_GET["classname"]);
This should return it to the multi-word format.

Passing variable with function in AS3

This is a function on the first frame of a .fla updated to AS3 from an old AS2 file:
function initialize() {
MovieClip(root).stage_target_mc.max_messages = 600;
When the function is called it should set "max_messages" to 600 in AS3, right?
Thanks

Only if the function is called. If this is going to be a set value that applies any time, then you don't need that line in a function, and if it's on the main timeline, you don't need the root reference.

How to pass variables to Skin applied with skinClass?

Hi all,
I'm experimenting with new skin for a SkinnableContainer, and I would like to pass variables to that skin to dynamically change some elements.
This is how I would like it to work, but it doesn't. Is there a way to make it work? (Or something similar... like defining new stylesheet-elements in the skin.)

Variable with Replacement Path

Hi, I have two queries. The results of the first one should be the input for the second one. E.g. the first query shows a list of personnel numbers and additional information. These personnel numbers shall be overtaken by the second query. The personnel numbers belong to "Dimensions" in the Query Designer. I alread tried to create a variable with replacement path to the dimension personnel number. I implementet this variable in both the first and the second query (under: "rows"). It`s no "Formular variable" and no "Calculated Key Figure" but a "Characteristic Value Variable" of a Dimension. The problem is now that I cannot execute any of the two queries. The error "Abort the query cannot be released for OLE DB for OLAP. System error in programm CL_RSR_REQUEST and form PREPARE_VQUERIES:INVALID_
What is my mistake? Thank you in advance! Eve

Hi Eve,
It is possible to connect the 2 queries using a Replacement Path characteristic variable. You would need to create the variable on the char whose values you want to pass from Q1 to Q2. The variable will be of type replacement path and you will need to enter the name of Q1 from which it will get the values. Make sure that you include this char in the query definition of Q1 and Q2. In Q2 you will restrict the characteristic using this variable. DO not use this variable (replacement path) in Q1.
In your query properties check if you have turned on the checkmark for Release for OLE DB for OLAP (3rd tab). If the check mark is there, then remove it.
We are using the scenario in a couple of places, and it works very well.
Hope this helps...

Creating Variable with Replacement Path to get value from ANOTHER Variable

Hi all,
    Is anyone has created the Variable with Replacement Path to get the value from another User Entry Variable, PLEASE ?
First created the User Entry Variable (ZV_X) and it accepts the date range like '01/01/2009 - 01/31/2009'. Next created the Characteristic variable (ZV_Y) of Replacement Path for which source variable will be ZV_X and we should get the 'FROM Date' (01/01/2009) from the selection (ZV_X) into it (ZV_Y).
While creating the Characteristic variable (ZV_Y) of Replacement Path, I didn't find my newly created ZV_X variable in the list of available variables under 'Variable' header in 'Replacement Path' tab and it is causing the error 'Source to replace variable ZV_Y is not defined'. How could I create the Characteristic variable of Replacement Path for my requirement, PLEASE ?
The following is from help.sap..com:
Replace with Characteristic Value
Text and formula variables with the processing type Replacement Path can be replaced with a corresponding characteristic value. In the variable editor, on the General tab page, you specify under Reference Characteristic the characteristic that is to be referenced by the replacement. On the Replacement Path tab page, you can choose whether the variable is replaced with the From or the To Value and with the Key or the Name of the characteristic value. You can also specify the Offset Start and Offset Length for the output.
Replace with Variable
Characteristic value variables, hierarchy variables, text variables, and formula variables with the Replacement Path processing type can take their values from a different variable.
The following prerequisites need to be fulfilled:
Variable
●      The variable must not be input-ready
●      The variable must represent a single value
Source Variable
●      The source variable must not be a hierarchy node variable
●      The source variable must be input-ready
●      The source variable must be available in the query
●      The source variable must represent a single value or an interval
In the variable editor, on the Replacement Path tab page, you specify the source variable from which the value is to be determined. The value is either determined from the key, the external attribute of the key, the description, or the attribute value. You can specify an Offset Start and an Offset Length for the output here. The variable is replaced on the variable screen upon each data release.
Thanks,
Venkat.

Passing variable values to pl/sql procedures

Hi,
I wanted to log the step name and message into a table whenever a particular step/interface failed in the ODI package.
Ex:PKG1
A----OK--->B----OK-->C--OK-->LOG SUCCESS status into table. All steps are sequenced.
when not OK
A----KO--->B----KO-->C--KO-->LOG failed status into table with step and message.
I have created 4 variables in ODI and used these vairables in to pass values in pl/sql procedure scenario.
I have drag and drop procedure scenario and given values to every variable...thing is for i want to get the step name dynamically for the procedure scenario's variable i am directly passing
v_int_step=odiRef.getPrevStepLog("STEP_NAME").
I dont want drag and drop procedure for each KO and then pass values to v_int_step=A or B or C .
My scenario command look like this for KO
OdiStartScen "-SCEN_NAME=PROC_LOGEXE_STATUS" "-SCEN_VERSION=-1" "-LOG_LEVEL=3" "-SYNC_MODE=1" "-SESSION_NAME=PROC_CSA_LOGEXE_STATUS_CS_BRANCHES" "-FLEXCUBE_OFSAA.v_execution_status=E" "-project1.v_scen_int_name=A" "-project1.v_batch_id=PKG_GLOBAL_MNT_HANDOFF" "-project1.v_step_name=odiRef.getPrevStepLog("STEP_NAME")"

Hi,
Mistakes i found in the script,
1. You need to pass the variables with the "-<YOUR PROJECT CODE>.VARIABLE NAME" which i suppose would be in UPPER CASE.
2. You need to pass OdiPrevStepLog with <%=%> enclosed. So your script will looks like,
OdiStartScen "-SCEN_NAME=PROC_LOGEXE_STATUS" "-SCEN_VERSION=-1" "-LOG_LEVEL=3" "-SYNC_MODE=1" "-SESSION_NAME=PROC_CSA_LOGEXE_STATUS_CS_BRANCHES" "-FLEXCUBE_OFSAA.v_execution_status=E" "-PROJECT1.v_scen_int_name=A" "-PROJECT1.v_batch_id=PKG_GLOBAL_MNT_HANDOFF" "-PROJECT1.v_step_name=<%=odiRef.getPrevStepLog( "STEP_NAME" )%>"
Thanks,
Guru

How can we Restict the Char single value Variables with , , =

Hi Experts,
How can we Restict the Char value Variables with <, >, <= (without selecting Inverval or only passing single value)
For Example
We have a standard Query 0FIAR_C03_Q1005, in this
New Selection
"1 - 15 Days, Posting Date<=Key Date, Clearing Date>Key Date"
This is restricted with the
Clearing(0CLEAR_DATE)
<Clearing key date(0P_KEYD3) It is a single value SAP Exit Varible
PostingDate(0PSTNG_DATE)
<= Posting keydate(0P_KEYD3) It is a single value SAP Exit Varible
When seeing these 0P_KEYD3, 0P_KEYD3 variables in the New selection screen they looks like >0P_KEYD3, <=0PSTNG_DATE
if you define any custom variables these are looks like =ZV_DATE.
to enable < , >, <= symbols for variables what we need to do.
In other way
Say we created one variable ZV_DATE single value, processing type as customer exit.
for this we populated current day,
Now Requirement is we need to display the all the records which are <= current date,
instead of passing low and high values, i want to restrict the calday <=ZV_DATE
New selection
0calday
<=ZV_DATE
How can we achive this, this is how the business content report having the restrictions
Please sugget me.
Thanks
Chandra

Ok,
In the InfoObject 0calday in the query designer under the filter area, under characteristic restrictions right-click over that InfoObject (0calday).
In the next window (select Values for [0CALDAY] Calendar Day in the dropdown box for "Show" choose Value Ranges. Under the word "Between" dropdown box select "Less than or equal to"
Below that word click on the button of the dropdown box Select from list.
In the new window select instead of History Variables and double-click on your variable ZV_DATE.
Click on the right blue arrow to move it to the right.
And there you go.
Tip: It exists a SAP standard variable named 0DAT which is exactly the current date (don't need to use ZV_DATE variable).

Using bind variable with IN clause

My application runs a limited number of straight up queries (no stored procs) using ODP.NET. For the most part, I'm able to use bind variables to help with query caching, etc... but I'm at a loss as to how to use bind variables with IN clauses. Basically, I'm looking for something like this:
int objectId = 123;
string[] listOfValues = { "a", "b", "c"};
OracleCommand command = new OracleCommand();
command.Connection = conn;
command.BindByName = true;
command.CommandText = @"select blah from mytable where objectId = :objectId and somevalue in (:listOfValues)";
command.Parameters.Add("objectId", objectId);
command.Parameters.Add("listOfValues", listOfValues);
I haven't had much luck yet using an array as a bind variable. Do I need to pass it in as a PL/SQL associative array? Cast the values to a TABLE?
Thanks,
Nick

Error produced when trying to pass variables to a Matlab script

For some reason, LabVIEW produces an Error 1047 (Unable to pass variable to the script server) whenever I create an input variable to a Matlab code block.
Outputs work fine (for example, connecting an output "a" to a Matlab code block that says "a=rand(50)" correctly produces a 50x50 array of random numbers that can be displayed in LabVIEW). However, creating any kind of input node, whether or not the associated variable is mentioned in the MATLAB script, brings up an error 1047.
Any ideas what could be causing this? I'm using LabVIEW 7.0 and MATLAB 7 (R14). I've read the article
>here and that's not the problem, and I've also updated my matscript.dll to the latest version, 7.0.0.2, which also made no difference.

For what its worth,
I work in a company with a lot of Matlab users, and I,m programming in Labview and Matlab.
When I create a testrig measurement I always have to convert data into Malab format, so I used the script server a lot... exept we have a limited pool of Matlab
licenses so my work was halted whenever the licences where gone.
So I wrote a Write2Matlab vi.
This vi can log data from a measurement and write it in a Matlab readable file format (Matlab6 R12).
After logging you can append more data. It works with(Double,Single,Int32,Int16,U16,U8,String) matrix see for yourself in an example (Write2matlab_test.vi).
Perhaps this is an alternative solution for your problem.
Please send me a reply if you find it usefull.
John

Passing variables from web server to HTML5 Captivate File

I am publishing a Captivate quiz as HTML5 and hosting them on a website. I would like to know how I can pass data from my site to the HTML5 based Captivate quiz.
So far I have had success getting data out of captivate by having the file POST the results of a finished quiz to a RESTful route. However, I have not had success putting data into the file. I would like to pass information such as User ids and quiz ids, maybe even current slide position so that I can associate the quiz information with my database. I am not specifically looking for a solution to user ids, quiz ids, etc. because I can get creative in that regard, I just want to know if others have been able to set variables on Captivate file load.
I have tried a setting variables in a couple ways:
- Declaring the variables with javascript, then ajax loading the page into a div. This caused dependency issues since the captivate file uses relative paths for its assets folder.
- Modifying the published html file by adding the javascript variables, this returned an error message saying I cannot override the existing captivate variables
- Adding the js variables into the init function, this had no effect.

To simply pass the username and an id I used the following.
Note the URL has query string parameters that match the captivate variables
http://mywebsite/Course/index.html?cpQuizInfoStudentID=IDHere&cpQuizInfoStudentName=Studen tNameHere
Another way to do this to use JavaScript to read the query string, and the assign variable in CP to the query string values. I remember reading some more detail, but cant remember where.
Hope it helps

How to use bind variables with XMLTABLE?

I tried to use bind variables with xmltable statment. Here, my testcase:
create or replace function wsdltest return xmltype as
l_dummy xmltype;
l_stt clob;
l_name varchar2(500);
l_xml clob;
BEGIN
l_xml :=

EXECUTE IMMEDIATE l_stt INTO l_dummy using l_xml, l_name;
return l_dummy;
END;
Any idea ?
Thanks in advance

Why are you using dynamic SQL statements? Why not just use something like this instead in your PL/SQL. I also replaced the leading // in your Xpath with just / since you start from the root node.
select *
INTO l_dummy
from xmltable(XMLNAMESPACES('http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema' AS "XSD", default 'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/'),
                '/definitions/types/XSD:schema/XSD:element'
                passing xmltype(l_xml)
                columns
                ab xmltype path '.' ) t;Also, the above returns two rows, which I suspect is not what you want. Here is the pure SQL version for you to debug.
