Use variable for filename for exportdata method

I am trying to set a var value and then use the var in the exportdata method using formcalc.
var txtFileName = "DataFileName"
if (tbxVicName.isNull) then
var txtFileName = Concat(num2date(date(), "YYYY_MMM_DD"),"_CameronDamageAssesment")
xfa.host.exportData(Ref(txtFileName.rawValue),0)
else
var txtFileName = Concat(num2date(date(), "YYYY_MMM_DD"),tbxVicName.rawValue)
xfa.host.exportData(txtFileName,0)
endif
Thanks for any assistance.

How to use Variable in interface for Mapping in ODI 11g

Hi,
I want to use Variable 'Year' in interface mapping. how i can do that? I define a variable YEAR1 = '2001' and in interface i put #YEAR1 but it didn't work for me. is there any other way?
Example.
I m using 'Year' column in mapping and it is having different 3 constant values so i was think to define 3 variable Year1= '2001' & Year2= '2005' & Year3= '2010'.
In interface i just want to put variable name insted giving fix value.
regards
Sher

'#PROJECT_NAME.YEAR'
#PROJECT_NAM.YEAR
#PROJECT_NAME.'YEAR'
and setting to Stagging Area
But still it is not working out.
I m suing ODI11.1.1.3

Use variable in SQL for column name

Hi All,
We want to use a user input as a column name in APEX.
For e.g user will enter "ALLOWABLE_AMOUNT" then the query will be as follows :
select Rule,rule_name,rule_desc,"User Input" from rule_dim
where "User_input" > 100
So here the User_input will be substitued with Allowable_amount. Is this doable using any bind/substitution variables ? I tried ":P2_USER_VARIABLE" and "&P2_USER_VARIABLE." but did not work.
Please advice.

Hi Andy,
You do that with an Interactive Report and a Dynamic Action.
I'll assume that you're using APEX 4.2
Here's how:
Create Page 2 with an Interactive Report
Create New Page > Report > Interactive Report > Next > Next
Enter a SQL Select statement: select Rule,rule_name,rule_desc from rule_dim
Next > Create > Edit Page
Create the item P2_USER_VARIABLE
Add Item > Number Field > Next
Item Name: P2_USER_VARIABLE
Next > Next > Next
Source Used: Always, replacing any existing value in session state
Source Type: Static Assignment (value equals source attribute)
Create Item
Create a Dynamic Action to refresh the Interactive Report when P2_USER_VARIABLE is changed
Add Dynamic Action
Name: Refresh IRR
Next >
Event: Lose Focus
Selection Type: Item(s)
Item(s): P2_USER_VARIABLE
Next >
Action: Refresh
Next >
Selection Type: Region
Region: Report 1 (10)
Create Dynamic Action
Add the ALLOWABLE_AMOUNT to the Interactive Report
Report 1
Region Source: SELECT * FROM (select Rule,rule_name,rule_desc, :P2_USER_VARIABLE AS ALLOWABLE_AMOUNT from rule_dim) WHERE ALLOWABLE_AMOUNT > 100
Apply Changes > Apply Changes
Get the Interactive Report to submit P2_USER_VARIABLE
Report 1
Page Items to Submit: P2_USER_VARIABLE
Apply Changes
Change the Heading for ALLOWABLE_AMOUNT in the Interactive Report
Interactive Report
Change the Heading of ALLOWABLE_AMOUNT to &P2_USER_VARIABLE.
Apply Changes
Run
Enter something into the USER VARIABLE field and select something else on the page. Watch the last column update to that value.

Using variable in function for FLASH video

I have a webpage that uses PHP to pull a variable from a
MySQL database.
I would like to use that variable to tell my flash component
what flash video to play. I cant seem to figure out how to place
the variable in the function call to make it work.
Also...The main page is in the root directory of my site with
all my flash videos in a subfolder. I can't seem to get the videos
to play on my main page unless they are in the same directory. I
even tried to simply 'include' the movie into my existing page and
it doesn't work.
Any idea on either of these issues?
(Is this even the correct forum area for this? I am new to
using FLASH for this stuff)

Thanks for the advice!
Turns out I believe my answer lies in PHP, but I will check
out the LoadVars help in FLASH too!

Using variables in CURL for urls.

Hello, I am fairly new here and new to programming. I am trying to make a program that will ask for a url and store it in a character array and use that variable as the URL for the url argument, in quotations, using libcurl, of course.
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "<here>");
However, when I do it the way I would with printf()
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "%c", &...);
it says prg.c:12:53: error: macro "curl_easy_setopt" passed 4 arguments, but takes just 3
Is there a way to do what I am trying to do?
Last edited by fawx (2008-08-20 13:06:24)

I don't know what u really want to do. And what I found is that there is not an overloaded function like the one you are trying to use, in fact there is no overloaded functions for that one.
http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/curl_easy_setopt.html
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLoption option, parameter);
If you want to pass a URL that dynamically fills the parameter variable you can first create a string and copy the info from another one then concatenate another.
Here is an example that maybe could help you.
char url[128];
char *page = "hello.html";
strcpy( url, "www.google.com" );
strcat( url, page );
for this you must include string.h, then you can use url to send as parameter in your function.

How to use relative DSN filename for connection (in Design mode)

Hello,
I connect Crystal Reports to Oracle database via ODBC with connection information stored in DSN file.
I use "Crystal Reports Basic" in Visual Studio 2008 SP1. CR has no SP. Windows XP Pro SP3, my development machine.
I created a DSN file, and in Database Expert I'm creating a new ODBC connection and trying to fill the File DSN.
But, the file name is absolute, and I need to use file name relative to the report file, because I want several programmers and several reports to share the connection parameters. This would also simplify the deployment.
When I try to copy the DSN file to the solution folder and use just the relative path, then a error is reported:
Logon failed.
Details: HY000 General Error: Invalid file DSN
which probably means that the file could not be found.
This problem does not exist in runtime, as the connection string could be set programmaticaly.
Does Crystal Reports accept relative DNS file name?
If does not, are there any other possibilites to achieve this?

If still an issue post your question the .NET SDK forum.

Filename for flat file using J2EE FILE FTP Receiver adapter

Hi there,
I am struggling to do the following:
I have a J2EE File receiver that sends a file with a specific name to a FTP destination. I define the target filename in my graphical mapping using certain criteria and a incremental number. In my adapter I use variable substitution to select that value in the payload as the filename. Up to this point everything works fine.
The problem is that I convert the payload to a flat structure using xslt before writing it out and because of that the adapter cannot find my value as defined in the variable I use for the name.
Now, obviously if I move the xslt module after the CallAdapter module, the file won't be converted to a flat structure.
Can anyone give me advice on how I can do the flat conversion <u>and</u> the specific filename from the payload?
Thanks in advance,
Johan

Hi,
Instead of using variable substitution, use adapter specific identifiers to set the file name in mapping.

What are Parameters? How are they differenet from Variables? Why can't we use variables for passing data from one sequnece to another? What is the advantage of using Parameters instead of Variables?

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
Using the Parameters is the correct method to pass data into and out of a sub sequence. You assign your data to be passed into or out of a Sequence when you are in the Edit Sequence Call dialog and in the Sequence Parameter list.

[SOLVED] problem using variable in "for do" loop statement

As 'm fairly new to scripting in linux there are still many things I don't know about the regular syntax. So I've made a script where in a variable $nb I retain the number of lines from the result of a series of commands. I have to use a variable as the number of lines from the output is not the same all the time.
To finish my script I need to use a for loop something like this
for i in {1..$nb}
do
echo "bla bla bla $i"
done
the thing is if $nb, for example, has the value 29 it outputs
bla bla bla {1..29}
without doing any loop.
So how can I use a variable, to define the edge of an interval in a for statement ?
Last edited by I'mGeorge (2011-06-18 16:19:16)

The sanctioned method in Bash is using a C style for loop:
for ((i=0; i<nb;i++)); do
done
Because brace expansion is performed before parameter expansion, a range like {1..$nb} will fail.

How do i filter the records in analytic view by using variable/parameter for a time range

i have a analytic view which has a output column as date type. i want the user who use this view have the control to decided the output records based on a time range (from x to y).
i tried to create 2 variables, 1 for start_time, 1 for end_time. Ideally, i should have a expression for filtering data like this:
$$start_time <= date_column <= $$end_time
However, the variable windows doesn't seem to be feasible for the expression as above.
Does anyone has the same problem and get it solved?
Thanks!

just figured out by my own. So the answer is using "variable" with "range" option.
Making a variable, then set the "selection type" to "range".
When preview the data, the variable input window pops up with operator on default "equal", use dropdown list to swtich it to "between", then you can enter the start_time and end_time as a range filter.

Given filename or path contains Unicode or double-byte characters.Retry using ASCII characters for filename and path What does this mean? it happen when I publish an OAM

Given file name or path contains Unicode or double-byte characters. Retry using ASCII characters for filename and path
What does this mean? It is happening when I try to publish an OAM for Dreamweaver.
Also: How can I specify the browser in Edge Animate? It is just going wherever. Are there no Preferences for Edge Animate?
BTW. Just call it Edge. Seriously. Do you call it Illustrator Draw? Photoshop Retouching?

No, my file name is mainContent.oam
My project name is mainContent.an
This error happens when I try to import into Dreamweaver. Sorry, I wasn't clear on that earlier.
I thought maybe it was because I had saved my image as a png. So re-saved as a svg, still get the error.
DO I have a setting is Dreamweaver CC that is wrong? Should I try this in Dreamweaver CS6? I might try that next.
Why is this program so difficult? I know Flash. I know After Effects. I can work the timeline part just great. It's always in the export that I have problems.
On a MacPro, 10.7.
Are you an Adobe person or just a nice helper?

FTPs connection error:When using Variable substitution for Directory path

Hi
I am transferring data from BI to xml file via PI: Here a Client proxy from BI sends the data to PI and the PI FTPs the XML file to a remote location. For FTP I am using FTPs SSL connection.
It was working fine untill I used Variable susbstitution to determine Directory path dynamically. I am using this because different xml files are intended to goto the different locations.
I did the variable substitution like this:
Target Message Structure:
---> Target Directory: %var1%
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<MT_BI_EXTRACT_FILE>
<Header>
<Directory>/Customer</Directory>
</Header>
<Detail>
</Detail>
</MT_BI_EXTRACT_FILE>
And in the variable substitution I am doing it this way
payload:MT_BI_EXTRACT_FILE,1,Header,1,Directory,1
And the error I am getting is:
Attempt to process file failed with Error when getting an FTP connection from connection pool: com.sap.aii.af.service.util.concurrent.ResourcePoolException: Unable to create new pooled resource: iaik.security.ssl.SSLException: Peer sent alert: Alert Fatal: handshake failure

Hi,
I guess the problem is not with Variable Substitution..
Error when getting an FTP connection from connection pool:
So its a connection problem..
Also check the option Disable Security check and try again...
Try to check again if the interface is executing properly without Variable substitution and let us know..

Framemaker uses $filename for short file name, can we edit this to change appearance? We do not want the short file name of long filename to include the .fm extension can this be removed or modified to make this happen?

Framemaker uses <$filename> for short file name, can we edit this to change appearance? We do not want the short file name of long filename to include the .fm extension can this be removed or modified to make this happen? In compiling our books it would be helpful to not have this extension appear as it then requires us to create extra files without them.
