Positional parameter passing For OAS 4.0.8.2

Have The OAS 4.0.8.2 support Positional parameter passing ?
I try it, but error!

Its a tically error of not enough memory.
How many Mb of Ram and swap have you configured.
Best regards, Marcelo.
PD: With this combination I recomend 256Mb of ram plus 512mb of swap.

Parameter passing for custom web service reports

Hi,I created a report file and published it as a .Net web service. I was able to set the web service to a report viewer in my windows application. I am using Crystal Reports Version 11 R2 and Visual Studio 2005 for my development.ReportWebService service = new ReportWebService(); crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = service;Now, my question is how do I pass a parameter from the windows application to the custom report web service. It does not seem to accept any paramters through constructors or other custom web methods.If I need to change my design or approach, I am welcome to that as long as I am able to host the report file on a central location. The .rpt file (exposed by the web service) does not have any parameters but the data population logic inside the web service might be based on some conditions which I need to pass as parameter.Thanks in advance.Regards, Gulzar

When using a Report Web Service, you must use the Viewer's SDK to interact with the report. So in your case, if you want to pass parameters to the report, the viewer exposes a ParameterFieldInfo property that you can set. You can download samples on how to do this or check out the <a href="http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/BusinessObjectsXIR2SP2/en/devsuite.htm" target="_blank">DevLibrary</a> for more details.However, one of your last statements you said your report does not have any parameters but your web service does.....could you elaborate on that? Did you modify the .asmx that is autogenerated to add/modify the web service methods? If so, then you will not be able to pass parameters to the new/modified web service. The autogenerated web service for the report cannot be modified in this way since the viewer is designed to use the web services methods as-is. In other words, the viewer is the only client/consumer of the Report Web Service so any interaction you want with the report must be done through the viewer, if the viewer exposes the functionality. In general, because the viewer is the only supported consumer of the Report Web Service, there are many limitations to interacting with the report. Depending on how much control you want over the report at runtime, you may not want to use Report Web Services. If you want to centralize reports for a Windows application, your best option is to load the reports from a network share using a UNC path when loading the report. Of course, this assumes your application is running from some kind of internal network. Any other kind of solution to centralized reports would require a web-based solution.If you must use a Windows application, then you could host a IE control on your form that accesses a web page that displays reports but then you would have to develop and support a web application in addition to your windows application. It's not the best solution but it's an option! :-)-MJ

Positional vs. named parameter passing

Is named parameter passing always better than positional when calling a PL/SQL stored procedure? What are the benefits and pitfalls of each method. Are there instances where you prefer one over the other?

Hi Roger,
I personally prefer named notation due to its much enhanced clarity. It greatly helps a subsequent developer by not forcing him/her to look up the spec of the procedure or function each time they see it referenced in the code which calls it (I have a terrible short-term memory - so this is particularly frustrating to me).
Additionally, if some whacko comes by and changes the order (but not the names) of the parameters to the referenced procedure or function - named notation protects you from having to change your code - with positional notation - you MUST change your code.
Of course, named notation is not supported in normal SQL which calls a function, only positional is. But for PL/SQL I say use named notation all the way.
I've never tested a comparison of performance, but I would take an educated guess that it is roughly equivalent (within a few microseconds) between the approaches.
One example I think will show you the benefits of named over positional is a call to DBMS_STATS.GATHER_TABLE_STATS. This packaged procedure is used all of the time, but it has a large number of arguments. Changing a call to it can be challenging with positional notation if you don't remember the parameter order.
Here's the named notation call:
BEGIN
   DBMS_STATS.gather_table_stats (ownname               => 'SCOTT'
                                , tabname               => 'EMP'
                                , partname              => NULL
                                , estimate_percent      => DBMS_STATS.auto_sample_size
                                , block_sample          => FALSE
                                , method_opt            => 'FOR ALL INDEXED COLUMNS SIZE 254'
                                , DEGREE                => NULL
                                , granularity           => 'ALL'
                                , CASCADE               => TRUE
                                , no_invalidate         => FALSE
END;
/Here's the positional notation call:
BEGIN
   DBMS_STATS.gather_table_stats ('SCOTT'
                                , 'EMP'
                                , NULL
                                , DBMS_STATS.auto_sample_size
                                , FALSE
                                , 'FOR ALL INDEXED COLUMNS SIZE 254'
                                , NULL
                                , 'ALL'
                                , TRUE
                                , FALSE
END;
/I strongly prefer to support code with the first example over the 2nd.

Can anyone point me into the right direction on this one? I understand why its happening i just don't know how to fix it.

A: Positional parameter for -asjob

Figured it out after i released you do do -asjob:$true -asjob:$false
$asjob = $true
if ($asjob){$asjobcommand = $true}else{$asjobcommand = $false}

What is the Parameter values for passing a password to open a pdf

I need help in finding the Parameter values for passing a password to open a pdf(s)? The software is written in Delphi.

The Copy Protection only protects our Disk from being duplicated and also protects our Software from being copied and used locally.
As far as the password encryption, that is why I created the Post. I was hoping that the password can be coded in our Software to open the password protect PDF that we create. This option would of gave us the security for when the customer copies the pdf to there local drive they would be required to input the password which they would not have access to.

Parameter passing issue for HTMLDB report page

Hi,
I have created a HTMLDB report based on SQL query in which the where clause column needs to takeup dynamic value each time.
So I have defined a hidden item on the page PUSERID of Source type "Static Assigment".
And this variable is used in SQL as
Select Name
from employees
where employeeid = :PUSERID
Now when i try to run this report and pass the parameter thru the URL by edititng the URL to have parameter value as
http://localhost:33492/pls/htmldb/f?p=104:8:8320056215249064505:::::PUSERID:CPRASAD
This shows the page with no data found...though when i run the query manually it returns the result.
Select Name
from employees
where employeeid = 'CPRASAD'
Plz let me know the correct procedure to make this work?
Thanks
AJ

Thanks Serigo..it works!
But why we need to remove the colon?Was it symbolizing that there was no parameter passed initially on URL and later when I was expecting one which was acting as two parametes in case of my url example(one parameter as nothing and another ad PUSERID)

In the process of getting each number from the parm '(25,23,35,1)' , I also need the position of the number
say 25 is at 1 position.
23 is at 2
35 is at 3
1 is at 4.
the reason I need that is when I build seperate select for each value, I need to add the query number at the end of the select query.
Please see the code I wrote for it, But the select query is having error:-

Need Help: Dynamically displaying parameter values for a procedure.

Problem Statement: Generic Code should display the parameter values dynamically by taking "package name" and "procedure name" as inputs and the values needs to be obtained from the parameters of the wrapper procedure.
Example:
a) Let us assume that there is an application package called customer.
create or replace package spec customer
as
begin
TYPE cust_in_rec_type IS RECORD
cust_id NUMBER,
,cust_name VARCHAR2(25) );
TYPE cust_role_rec_type IS RECORD
(cust_id NUMBER,
role_type VARCHAR2(20)
TYPE role_tbl_type IS TABLE OF cust_role_rec_type INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
Procedure create_customer
p_code in varchar2
,p_cust_rec cust_in_rec_type
,p_cust_roles role_tbl_type
end;
b) Let us assume that we need to test the create customer procedure in the package.For that various test cases needs to be executed.
c) We have created a testing package as mentioned below.
create or replace package body customer_test
as
begin
-- signature of this wrapper is exactly same as create_customer procedure.
procedure create_customer_wrapper
p_code in varchar2
,p_cust_rec customer.cust_in_rec_type
,p_cust_roles customer.role_tbl_type
as
begin
//<<<<<---Need to display parameter values dynamically for each test case-->>>>>
Since the signature of this wrapper procedure is similar to actual app procedure, we can get all the parameter definition for this procedure using ALL_ARGUMENTS table as mentioned below.
//<<
select * from ALL_ARGUMENTS where package_name = CUSTOMER' and object_name = 'CREATE_CUSTOMER'
but the problem is there are other procedures exists inside customer package like update_customer, add_address so need to have generalized code that is independent of each procedure inside the package.
Is there any way to achieve this.
Any help is appreciated.
// >>>>
create_customer
p_code => p_code
,p_cust_rec => p_cust_rec
,p_cust_roles => p_cust_roles
end;
procedure testcase1
as
l_cust_rec customer.cust_in_rec_type ;
l_cust_roles customer.role_tbl_type;
begin
l_cust_rec.cust_id := 1;
l_cust_rec.cust_name := 'ABC';
l_cust_roles(1).cust_id := 1;
l_cust_roles(1).role_type := 'Role1';
create_customer_wrapper
p_code => 'code1'
,p_cust_rec => l_cust_rec
,p_cust_roles => l_cust_role
end;
procedure testcase2
as
l_cust_rec customer.cust_in_rec_type ;
l_cust_roles customer.role_tbl_type;
begin
l_cust_rec.cust_id := 2;
l_cust_rec.cust_name := 'DEF';
l_cust_roles(1).cust_id := 2;
l_cust_roles(1).role_type := 'Role2';
create_customer_wrapper
p_code => 'code2'
,p_cust_rec => l_cust_rec
,p_cust_roles => l_cust_role
end;
end;

Not possible to dynamically in a procedure, deal with the parameter values passed by a caller. There is no struct or interface that a procedure can use to ask the run-time to give it the value of the 1st or 2nd or n parameter.
There could perhaps be some undocumented/unsupported method - as debugging code (DBMS_DEBUG) is able to dynamically reference a variable (see Get_Value() function). But debugging requires a primary session (the debug session) and the target session (session being debugged).
So easy answer is no - the complex answer is.. well, complex as the basic functionality for this do exists in Oracle in its DBMS_DEBUG feature, but only from a special debug session.
The easiest way would be to generate the wrapper itself, dynamically. This allows your to generate code that displays the parameter values and add whatever other code needed into the wrapper. The following example demonstrates the basics of this approach:
SQL> -- // our application proc called FooProc
SQL> create or replace procedure FooProc( d date, n number, s varchar2 ) is
2 begin
3 -- // do some stuff
4 null;
5 end;
6 /

SQL>
SQL> create or replace type TArgument is object(
2 name varchar2(30),
3 datatype varchar2(30)
4 );
5 /
Type created.
SQL>
SQL> create or replace type TArgumentList is table of TArgument;
2 /
Type created.
SQL>
SQL> -- // create a proc that creates wrappers dynamically
SQL> create or replace procedure GenerateWrapper( procName varchar2 ) is
2 procCode varchar2(32767);
3 argList TArgumentList;
4 begin
5 select
6 TArgument( argument_name, data_type )
7 bulk collect into
8 argList
9 from user_arguments
10 where object_name = upper(procName)

17 if i < argList.Count then
18 procCode := procCode||', ';
19 end if;
20 end loop;
21
22 procCode := procCode||') as begin ';
23 procCode := procCode||'DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line( '''||procName||''' ); ';

JRC bug: apostrophe in string parameter passed to Crystal Report with Command datasource to SQL Server

Post Author: nl11087
CA Forum: JAVA
A single quote/apostrophe in string parameter passed to a Crystal Report with Command datasource connecting to a SQL Server database, using sqljdbc driver does not escape the special character correctly. When doing a preview in the Crystal Reports IDE it allows you to escape the input parameter as expected and work correctly, but through the JRC component it fails. For string parameters without special sql server characters I experience no problems at all. When replacing the Command with a direct table there is also no problem.
Reproduction:
1. create a database db1, create a table table1 with a String type column col1.
2. Create new report Report1.rpt, create a connection to above, Add Command using 'SELECT col1, col2, col3 FROM table1 WHERE col1 = '{?Par1}' . Add a parameter field Par1 : String
3. In your java stand alone application using JRC add the parameter Par1 with a value "Jon Doe's Value" containing a single apostrophe. Export to PDF. (I also tried MSWord and this failed too, similar behavior). Additionally, in another test try to replaceAll("'","''") to escape it, preventing the code to break, but now it does not retrieve the expected row anymore and you end up with an empty report.

Issue with parameter passing in ie7 to php xml

Hi
I wondered if anyone could offer a little advice what the issue is here.
I have a page with xml generated from php in a separte file and presented by a dataset in spry.
The xml is OK and in firefox it all works but ie seems to barf on it.
The situation is this:
I have a jump menu on a front page that provides a url with anumeric parameter passed like this
platforms.php?platform_id=1
This parameter is picked up by php on the platforms.php page using the $_GET Array and is passed into the code in my Spry dataset to the file that runs my query and returns my xml- so basically the page displays a dataset filtered on this parameter id.
It works perfectly in FF.
In IE if I link straight to the page without a parameter at all- so platforms.php the page loads OK using the default parameter I have set up in the top of this page to send the default id of 1 to the code page so the spry query says platform_sql.php?platform_id=1 and the xml generator is fine with thisiel. ie I do a
if(isset($_GET['platform_id'])){
$platform=$_GET['platform_id'];
}else{
$platform=1;
The dataset loads Ok in IE but when I pass a parameter in the url from my jump menu IE gives a blank SPRY table i- it momentarily appears with just the placeholders for my dataset elements then vanishes. The source code of the page shows the correct id was set in the spry data going to my query file.
There is an error in ie saying there is a javascript error but its not any help- in ie fashion- FF shown no such errors.
I thought this might be a data type thing again in the dataset but its not - I have set the elements returned to simple strings but it still does not work.
Is there a problem passing in a parameter like this to a spry dataset?

After about half a day of mucking round I found the problem and a solution to this problem.
What appeared to have happened was that some of the older content in my database used html originally encoded using a WYSWYG editor called ktml.
Later data uses Tiny MCE. It looks like the character set of the two formats is slightly different and as a result some characters rendered incorrectly when passed through XML parsing where it specifies the character set as utf-8.
Firefox on the whole seems to ignore the issue though looking at the raw xml output of my php-xml code- where "-" characters were (dashes) there was a question mark character shown. None the less in actual use on my page the xml was produced and the dataset worked out.
In IE, it barfed at these same characters and failed to return the xml dataset.
What confused the issue more was some of my smaller datasets if they by chance never had a "-" character in rendered OK in IE- hence my default dataset (platform_id=1) worked in IE. After much experimenting I noticed other ids worked too if there was never such a character.
How I got round it was to wrap my server side data in the utf8_encode() function, and now all my xml is clean.
The javascript error being thrown was a red herring though I could not tell until I managed to run my page in ie7 with Visual Studio Express error console running- I had this on a spare machine at work so could debug with it.
All sorted now- now just need to find away to wrap all my datasets in collapsible panels that work.

PARAMETER ID FOR MM03

Hi Gurus
How to know that the parameter ID for a particular trasnsaction ?
Please let me know the procedure.
regards
Mac

Hi,
first go to that transaction
and press f1 on any field
and then you have to clik the technical information
button on that
and then it will give you a popup in which all the information
about that field will be availball
adn in that paramter id field will be there
for eg MM03 have MAT as the parameter id...
if you want to use that
use
set parameter id syntax, it will pass the vaule from your program to that
field in that transaction..
SET PARAMETER ID: 'MAT' FIELD your field.
CALL TRANSACTION 'MM03'.
thanks & regards,
Venkatesh

UTL MAIL a positional parameter association may not follow a named associat

I am trying to sale 2 emails, I got the code like this
{code|
utl_mail.send(sender => '[email protected]',
recipients => '[email protected]','[email protected]',
subject => 'Banner Duplicate Report '||trunc(sysdate)||' Process for Managing Known Duplicate Reports',
message => 'You are about to receive a report with possible duplicates in the Database, THIS IS A TEST' ||chr(10)||chr(13)||
I am getting this error...
PLS-00312 a positional parameter association may not follow a named association....
I try to separate the email by ; does not work either...
Thank you
Ps I changed the real emails by xxxx

PLS-00312 a positional parameter association may not follow a named association.... The reason for the error. You are writing this:
utl_mail.send(
sender     => '[email protected]',
recipients => '[email protected]',
'[email protected]',
   subject    => 'Banner Duplicate Report '||trunc(sysdate)||' Process for Managing Known Duplicate Reports',
..etc..
);The compiler/parser sees that you are specifying the parameter name followed by the value. So:
This is fine:
sender     => '[email protected]',
So is this:
recipients => '[email protected]',
But what is this? Parameters are separated with commas. Where is the parameter name?
+'[email protected]',+
PL/SQL can either support the call where you do not specify the parameter name. For example: (using positional parameters)
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line( 'hello world' );
Or support where you do specify the parameter names. For example: (using named parameters)
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line( a => 'hello world' );
But you cannot mix these two methods as you have done. Thus the error message stating exactly this.
The recipients parameter is scalar value. It expects a single string value. Not multiples values.
The string itself can contain a comma delimited list of recipients. E.g.
recipients => '[email protected],[email protected],[email protected]',

Set parameter id for select-options to fill more than one value

FROM MY CUSTOM PROGRAM I AM CALLING A TRANSACTION CODE. IN MY REPORT I WANT TO SELECT MORE THAN ONE RECORD AND TO CALL THE TRANSACTION BY PASSING THE SELECTED VALUES TO THE SELECT-OPTIONS OF THE TRANSACTION.
IF IT IS A PARAMETER I CAN WRITE SET PARAMETER STATEMENT FOR ONE VALUE AND EASILY CALL THE TRANSACTION. BUT I WANT TO FILL THE SELECT-OPTIONS OF THE TCODE.
CAN ANYBODY PLEASE PROVIDE ME THE LOGIC HOW TO FILL THE SELECT-OPTIONS FROM MY REPORT FOR CALLING THE TRANSACTION.
REGARDS,
VASU.

Hi..
Instead of calling the Transaction
Call the Report directly using:
(First declare the Ranges)
ranges : R_matnr for mara-matnr.
(Fill the values into Ranges Table and call the report )
SUBMIT <REPORT>
With s_matnr in R_matnr.
Reward if helpful.

NEED PARAMETER PASSING SAMPLE INSTALLATION ZIP FILE...

Hello All,
I was viewing the following page:
http://portalstudio.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/PDK/
articles/guidelines.parameter.passing.html
Near the end of the page it reads, "For a detailed PL/SQL portlet
sample, see the Parameter Passing sample included in the PL/SQL
section including the Parameter Passing Sample Installation
article and check out the source code in the downloadable zip
file."
The phrase "downloadable zip" near the end of this line is a link
that is supposed to provide you with the zip file. When I click
on this link I get the file to save as sample.zip. Files get
downloaded but when I try to unzip it,
I encounter error messages :
Missing 1 bytes in Zip file (attempting to process anyway).
Cannot open file: it does not appear to be a valid archive.
If you downloaded this file, try downloading the file again.

let say i have a code as below:
public void init()
      String rootDirectory = JOptionPane.showInputDialog( this,
         "Please enter a directory name:" );
      FileTreePanel panel = new FileTreePanel( rootDirectory );
      getContentPane().add( panel );
   }and i use this code to call the batch file:
import java.io.IOException;
public class callbatch{
     public static void main(String args[]) {
          try {
               Runtime runtime=Runtime.getRuntime();
               Process process=runtime.exec("cmd /c start callnvcc.bat");
               catch(IOException ioe) {
                    System.out.println(ioe);
     }how can i pass the rootDirectory into my callnvcc.bat?

Parameter passing in BADI in script logic

inside BADI when I tried to pass variables, I got error 'incorrect parameter format in "DIMENSION =" .
//local variable
*SELECT(%VERSION%, ID, VERSION, "GROUP <>'ACTUAL')
*XDIM_MEMBERSET VERSION = %VERSION%
*START_BADI RUNLOGIC
LOGIC = TEST1.LGF
DIMENSION = %VERSION1%
*END_BADI
When I changed it to DIMENSION = PLAN, where "PLAN" is an actual dimension member, it works.
when I changed it to DIMENSION = $VER$, it works. however $VER$ is for DM input parameter, not for my local variable.
So how do I pass the variable to TEST1.LGF? simply the "*XDIM_MEMBERSET VERSION = %VERSION%" will do this, right?
anyway I can pass variable from inside BADI?
my plan is to have a sructure like the following
*XDIM XXXXXX
BADI to call test1.lgf
BADI to call test2.lgf
BADI to call test3.lgf
so it will be great if I can pass different parameters into each BADI.
now %VERSION% does not work. that's my issue.
George

Gersh,
yeah, that's a typo.
I see your point. for *XDIM_MEMBERSET, I will define it for each badi.
for the DIMENSION = %VARIABLE%, I found it behaves weird, sometimes it works, sometimes it complains about incorrect parameter format. this happened like in one minute. I double checked my spelling, and could not figure out.
I will proceed now.
I will post one new question in another thread.thanks Gersh.
