Re: Help needed in passing values from workflow to Approve Forms

Dear Experts,
how do I pass values from a workflow to a step (Form) - approve form?
I am using a customized table structure as my data source (FORMCONTAINERELEMENT) but am stuck on how to access the data when i get to to the screen painter's flow logic... What am i missing? Can you give me a step by step example. the ones i see on the net are input fields that update the screen... nothing that shows value being passed from the outside.
I need to pass an exisitng value in the workflow into the form for approval of the the assigned agent.
Please help!!
Thank you.

Hello !
         Create a method just before the form step.This method should populate the values for the fields maintained in the form.
         Pass the values populated from this method to your customized table structure (data source).In other words, you have to pass all the values to the workflow container.
        To the step, pass this workflow container by binding.In the control tab of form step, you have to do the binding.

Passing value from dynamic page to form.....

I have a portal page that has a dynamic page where I've created an html form. Also on this same page in different regions are three other forms which were created by the form wizard. From the dynamic page form I want to pass a session value to the other forms on the same page. Is this possible? I know it's possible from form to form using session apis. I've search the forum and have not found what I'm looking for. Can anyone be of any help on this topic?

Melissa,
It seems we have the same type issue.
Session variable how to's are what I need also.
There is a site with more information on it...a continuation of the Portal Handbook by Vandivier and Cox at home.covad.net/~idbexperts called an "Unpublished Case Study" - I don't know if it'll hit your needs on the head, but it may help to see it.
I believe I am trying to hold session variables over til users complete a 4 part form across several pages (may be a space problem we have). Do you know how I start this?
I don't know how to put p_session variables together, when or where the parameters are necessary and whether a procedure is necessary or not!!!
If you would like to correspond offline, I am at [email protected] and would appreciate your insights.

Need to pass value from check box to the pl/sql function in process

My requirement is to use single value check box and pass the flag value to the pl/sql function.
The function need to interpret the flag and execute accordingly.
In this case checkbox name is P1_DELETE and it returns Delete, if checked.
Anonymous block with in the process looks as follows:
declare
l_result VARCHAR2(1024);
begin
l_result := test_function(:P1_DELETE);
end;

Hi Visu,
checkboxes in APEX are handled as arrays, namely APEX_APPLICATION_GLOBAL.VC_ARR2. To pass and process the checked values of checkboxes in a pl/sql function or procedure you could use the following way, assuming you have a checkbox named P1_DELETE with a single return value of "Delete"
DECLARE
    l_checkbox_values apex_application_global.vc_arr2;
BEGIN
    l_checkbox := :P1_DELETE;
    -- calling function test_function processing the value
    test_function(NVL(l_checkbox(1), 'SOME_OTHER_VALUE'));
END;If the checkbox is not checked then the array at position 1 is null and you have to process that as you like.
If your checkbox would be a group than the array would be colon separated such as 1:2:3:4 etc. and you would have to loop the array like:
    FOR idx IN 1..l_checkbox.COUNT LOOP
        test_function(l_checkbox(idx));
    END LOOP;Hope that helps.

Help needed in passing values

Hi all,
I'm new to jsp. So if possible pls help me. I have a page(say first.jsp) which has a link to another jsp(say sec.jsp). In sec.jsp i'm setting a value in session. When i'm clicking a use/done button in sec.jsp...I want to come back to first.jsp and use the values in session. How to do this?

Hi,
I'm doing what u've said. Now I don't have problem in retrieving the value which i set in sec.jsp.. The problem i'm facing is that.. I'm having a screen which has a label displaying the value i retrieved.. which is not showing the correct value even though it is set in session.. So when i'm coming back..I want first.jsp to be refreshed automatically.. Thanks a lot for both of you guys for helping me out..
Could u give me a solution for this new problem? i.e how to refresh first.jsp automatically when i come back from sec.jsp...or is there any way to refresh the parent window..

Help needed in extracting values from XML

SAMPLE XML:
- <Form1>
- <Name>
<Ttl>MR</Ttl>
<Fore>ABC1</Fore>
<Sur>XYZ2</Sur>
</Name>
- <Address>
<Line>ADD_LINE_1</Line>

</Address>
<BirthDate>0001-01-01</BirthDate>
- <Details>
<TotalEarnings>1234567.00</TotalEarnings>
<TotalDeduction>12345.00</TotalDeduction>
</Details>
</Form1>
- <Form1>
- <Name>
<Ttl>MR</Ttl>
<Fore>ABC2</Fore>
<Sur>XYZ2</Sur>

<Gender>female</Gender>
- <Details>
<TotalEarnings>12345.00</TotalEarnings>
<TotalDeduction>123.00</TotalDeduction>
</Details>
</Form1>
There can be any 'n' number of <Form1>'s in one XML.But I want to get only the details of the person whose TotalEarnings>1million. Details include
Name->Ttl,Fore,Sur
which in this case would be MR,ABC1,XYZ1
Address->Line,Line,Postcode
which in this case would be ADD_LINE_1,ADD_LINE_2,PST CDE
Birthdate
which in this case would be 0001-01-01
Gender
which in this case would be "null" as there is no Gender tag present
Details->TotalEarnings,TotalDeduction
which in this case would be 1234567.00,12345.00
The technique I was using is,
1. Convert to clob
2. User dbms_instr find the location of <Form1> in a loop
3. For every occurence of <Form1> I find <TotalEarnings> value and check if this is greater than 1 million.
4. If true, I use dbms_instr to get the values of all the tags inside <Form1>
5. The drawback of using dbms_instr is that it gets the value of first occurence of whatever sting we supply.In this case dbms_instr(xml,'<Gender>',position of Form1) will not return null whereas it will return "Female" from the next form. This is wrong as it doesnt belong to the person who earns more than a million.
Can anyone suggest a way to fetch the values that only belong to the form of the person who earns more than a million?

There can be any 'n' number of <Form1>'s in one
XML.Not if you want the XML to be valid there can't. You would need a root element around all the <Form1>'s to make it valid.

I'd suggest you start reading some of the manuals regarding XML functionality in Oracle rather than trying to manually parse it all.

Help needed in getting values from the dynamically created text boxes

Hello,
I am developing one jsp page using struts. In the page i m
dynamically adding some rows with two text boxes in each row. and after entering data into
those textboxes , user clicks on save button and page is submitted.
I want to capture all this data of dynamically added
rows so that i can enter those rows into DB.
how can i acheive this using struts?.
Have anyone had tried doing it?. Please help.
Thanx in advance
Deepali Naik

Hi,
1. If you give these textBoxes the same name, then in your action you can call request.getParameterValues(paramName) - it returns String[ ] of values.
2. You can give form textBox names like "name"+index or something like this in <logic:iterate> tag
Good luck!

Returning attribute values from Workflow to a Form

Hi,
I have a workflow action that returns an object. I would like to pass this object a form, via a manual action, and get the values for the object. My form has a base context of variables.user. I have attempted to get the object from the workflow by using the :, semi colon however this isn't working.
Any help will be appreciated.

Solved this by using a rule to call the required methods on the object and set the user.xxxx attribute accordingly.
It's easy when you know how!

My problem is when i select a Project Name and hit the submit button , unless i hit the query button it does the value on the form . It works good when i pass the rowid (some other form). Does anyone know how to make this work?
Thank You.

Passing Value from Crystal Report (special function) to Business View parameter

Friends,
Í have a scenario where i need to pass value from Crystal Report to a Business view's parameter.
Eg : CurrentCEUsername (func in crystal report)-- gives login user which i should pass to parameter in a Business view (used in the same report).
Will be able to explain more if required.
Thanks in Advance,
Bharath

I guess you got the picture wrong. User_id is not a report_level parameter .
In Data Foundation, below query is used..
select Acc_Number, Account_Group,User_id from Accounts where user_id={?User_id}
where in {?User_id} is the BV parameter...
The Filter was a solution. But it takes long time to Query all the data from DB and then filter at BV level.
How do i pass the CurrentCEUsername to {?User_id}
Value should ve CurrentCEusername always. so that query will be
select Acc_Number, Account_Group,User_id from Accounts where user_id=CurrentCEusername
It will restrict the data pulled from DB to BV .. right?

Thanks in advance,
Sridhar

in a servlet :
parse your xml file (see how at the end of the post) and
put the values you want in the request attributes
request.setAttribute("value1", value1);
...redirect to the jsp
in the JSP:
get the wanted attributes:
String value1=(String)request.getAttribute("value1");To learn how to parse a xml file, pay a look at this page, it explains how to read the XML document to build an object representation, and then how to navigate through this object to get the data

How to get values from workflow to program

Hello everybody,
I am stuck with an issue in workflow. I want to know how can I get the values of workflow in Abap program.
Scenario:
The workflow is triggered when a user does the transaction MIGO.
The user gets a workflow in his SAP inbox. He clicks on the link and is able to view details in MIGO.
I want to get the material number and year in program ( as shown below)
I am new to workflow, is there any kind of binding to do? And maybe a method or function module which will allow to get these values in program.
Thanks a lot
Regards

Hello,
With some help here and there, we have been able to set up the workflow. Special thanks to Modak Gupta.
I'm sharing the steps below. I would be grateful if someone could explain the different binding, what are their purposes depending on the place they are done, etc. I am still not very at ease with the binding. Thanks.
Requirement:
Once MIGO is done, the client wishes to do another MIGO. For him to know that the first MIGO has been done, he needs to get it in his SAP Inbox (Workflow). From there, he can just execute the workflow and he will do the second MIGO.
Steps:
1. Create a BAPI in SE37 to get the purchase order (we need it because we will open the second MIGO with the purchase order of the first MIGO). We will also call the transaction MIGO in the BAPI (For our requirement, it is ZMIGO, but very similar to MIGO, just some different customizing).
In the BAPI, use the function module BAPI_GOODSMVT_GETDETAIL to get the purchase order.
A BDC is also done in the BAPI to open ZMIGO with the purchase order.
Code:
FUNCTION zbapi_call_transaction.

2. Create a Business Object in SWO1.
It is a copy of BUS2017, we have added our BAPI and an event. We also modified the program.
Modify the program by clicking on Program above:
Add the parameters in the new method (BAPI)
Add the parameters in the new Event.
3. Implement the BADI in SE18 / SE19

INPUT_CONTAINER         = INPUT_CONTAINE.
endmethod.
4. Create the workflow in SWDD
Add the Business Object in the container and tick Import.
Create a task with the following details.
Click on Binding in the above screen:
Create an Activity and attach the task to it.
Affect Agents
Add a starting event in Basic Data.
Add a Process Control to end the workflow.
Workflow Final should look like this:
I hope it would be helpful to some of you. Sorry about the binding, there might be some issues not correct. But normally, if you follow the steps as they are, and for binding, you do Automatic Binding, it should be ok.
Thanks
