Using variables in Form and in BR

I need to pass the members that has been selected in the user variable in the Form to the BR. How do I do that without prompting the user (using a Variable) ?

Hi,
you can only pass a member to a business rule that is in the POV.
This can be defined on the web form. Here you can tell Planning to take the members and do not prompt for the variable.
I hope this answers your question.
Regards,
Philip

Ok, so, what characterset was your database created with?
Does that characterset have a representation of that character?

Using VO as form and table on same page

Hi,
We are facing some issues while using same view object on one page. The view object is dropped as input form and as table on same page. There are few fields in the input form that have autosubmit property set to true. Now while entering the data into form, after clicking any autosubmit field, if we refresh the page, then new row gets created in table with value of the auto submit field. This is in cache only and not created in DB. We tried by exposing two instances of same view object in application module but still same issue. Finally we created two view object, one which is EO based and another ready only through query. Its working fine now. But is there any other possible solution, without creating two view objects?
Jdev: 11.1.1.6.
Thanks

Hey Ami,
I've tried understanding your problem but i'm not sure if i could.
The problem is that you can insert via the form but it doesn't update the table ?
Is that it ?

Using variables in Dashboards and Requests

Hi Freinz,
I am trying to use a dashboard prompt and based on the selection in the prompts the data shud be populated.
I used the option request variable in Dashboard prompt and then created the static repository variables in administration.
I have created variable 'vert' and in the requests for the column 'VERTICAL' i am setting the variable as 'vert'.
This is the same value i have given in the dashboard prompt set variable-->request variable.
Guyz pls help me...
Pls let me knw the steps to be followed.
How shud i pass teh values from the dashboard prompt to the requests??/
Thanks,
Veena

In the Report, Create a filter fro VERTICAL. In the Filter Creation Click On Add - Variable - Presentation, Now in the variable Expr give your variable name, In the default value give any value for this VERTICAL.
Now put your prompt and report in dashboard, test it.

Is there any default calendar which I can use on my form and report

Hi All,
Is there any default calendar which I can use on date field on my form and report.
just by change its property like double click on date field and property calendar = yes
or any other way.
thanks
mohan

hi
create a functions something like this.i hope it helps u.
function call_calender ( f_dtm_set in date default sysdate ) return date is
l_dtm date;
l_list paramlist := get_parameter_list ( 'CALL_CALENDER' );
begin
if
not id_null ( l_list )
then
destroy_parameter_list ( l_list );
end if;
if
trunc ( f_dtm_set ) != trunc ( sysdate ) --> if you call the calendar function with a date, the calendar will change to that date
then
l_list := create_parameter_list ( 'CALL_CALENDER' );
add_parameter ( l_list, 'DTM_SET', text_parameter, to_char ( f_dtm_set, 'dd/mm/yyyy' ) );
end if;
copy ( null, 'global.calender_date' ); --> create a null global
call_form ( 'form_name', no_hide, no_replace, no_query_only, l_list );
if
not id_null ( l_list )
then
destroy_parameter_list ( l_list );
end if;
if
name_in ( 'global.calender_date' ) is not null --> if the global is not null, give the choosen item back
then
l_dtm := to_date ( name_in ( 'global.calender_date' ), 'dd/mm/yyyy' );
end if;
erase ( 'global.calender_date' );
return ( l_dtm );
end;sarah

[custom application] we did'nt use the register form, and it works anyway !!!!

[custom application] we did'nt use the register form, works anyway ?
Excuse my english:
Our developper's have created the custom objects in a new oracle user.
The have given all grants ans synonyms to APPS (by the hand with manuel scripts).
They didn't use the 'Security\oracle\register' forms.
They have just declared the application in 'security\oracle\data group' using APPS as oracle id.
So they did not have to enter a password in AOL for the new custom oracle userneme.
QUESTION ?
Did we miss something ? What is wrong ?
Are we qoing to face some issue (with standard AOL admin scripts for exemple ?)
Does Always OA connect via APPS or did it sometimes need to connect
with the real oracle usernam of the custom application ?
Thanks in advance for your answers.
Pierre from Paris.

I believe you're probably okay, as long as you are only adding objects, not modifying existing ones. We have custom database accounts registered through the aforementioned forms, but as a rule-of-thumb we always grant all on any custom objects to APPS with grant option. All custom packages we create are also created under the APPS schema. The underlying user that is running for our custom forms & reports is still APPS. We just put tables, indexes, and similar objects under the custom accounts primarily so that we can clearly tell what objects are custom and which are not.
Keep in mind that one risk you run with any customizations you make under APPS (or any other delivered database account) is that there is always a chance that Oracle could create an object with the exact same name in the future, potentially overwriting your customizations
Hope this helps!

Using 'variables.instance' structure and implicit getters/setters

I am adopting the use of creating a variables.instance (I use 'variables.my') structure to separate instance data from the object, however I have a question when it comes to ColdFusion creating implicit getters and setters based on that object's defined properties.
BEFORE, if I had a Name property, CF would create getName() and setName() for me, and it would update the variables.Name private variable accordingly in each. But now that my variables are being stored in 'variables.my.Name', does this mean I can no longer use ColdFusion's implicit getters and setters? (because it would improperly be attempting to execute getName and be looking for variables.Name, when that data now exists in variables.my.Name?
Are there any methodologies around that allow me to utilize CF's implicit getters/setters while using this 'my' instance variable and have them work with one another?

Thanks for the confirmation Carl.
How cool, then, would it be if ColdFusion 11 supported something like:
<cfcomponent
accessors="true"
implicitpropertyprefix="my."
That way I could specify "my." as the property prefix and when it goes to create those implicit getters and settings, it will concatenate that into 'variables.my.' as the prefix when it alters property values or returns them.

Using variable values form parametrized URL in Customer Exit in i_step = 1

Hello BW experts,
I call a parametrized URL to a Web Template that has a Query with the variable VAR1:
http://XXX?...&CMD=LDOC&template_id=TEMP1&VAR_NAME_1=VAR1&VAR_VALUE_EXT_1=2006
Then I try to access the value of VAR1 in i_step = 1 in the Customer Exit for BEx variables in order to determine the value for a customer exit variable VAR2:
WHEN 'VAR2'.
    IF i_step = 1.
      READ TABLE i_t_var_range INTO var_range
        WITH KEY vnam = 'VAR1'.
      fl_var_range-sign = 'I'.
      fl_var_range-opt = 'EQ'.
      fl_var_range-low = *some operation with var_range
      APPEND fl_var_range TO e_t_range.
    ENDIF.
The problem is that VAR1 contains either the default values (if the variable is set to have default variables) or is empty (if there are no default variables defined). It does not retrieve the value in the URL in the Customer Exit, but displays it correctly in the variable screen.
Is there any way I can acces the URL parameter in the Customer Exit?
Thanks for any answers in advance.
Michael

Gili,
thanks for your answer. The problem was, though, that the first value determines the behavior of the variable screen by setting the value of a customer exit variable.
My goal was to have two variable screens. In the first a date is chosen and in the second a node of a time-dependant hierarchy is chosen. If one enters the date in the same screen as the hierarchy, the valid hierarchy for the date is not displayed.
I solved the problem now in following way:
<b>1. Saving the value in SAP Memory as a parameter.</b> The parameter has to be defined in SE80. A Dummy Web Template with a query on the same Infoprovider with just the two InfoObjects (Year/Month) displays a variable screen for Month/Year. In addition there is a Dummy Customer Exit variable that is needed in order to pass the variable values (month/year) into SAP Memory. Using JavaScript in the Dummy WebTemplate the second Web Template with the actual query is called without displaying anything else than the variable screen.
WHEN 'DUMMY_CUSTOMEREXIT_VAR'.
    data: w_date like sy-datum
    IF i_step = 2.
      READ TABLE i_t_var_range INTO var_range
        WITH KEY vnam = 'VAR1'.
    do your peration
    i.e. w_date(4)+2 = var_range-low.
             w_date(6)+2 = var_range-high.
      SET PARAMETER ID 'ZBW_PARA1' FIELD w_date.
    ENDIF.
<b>2. Retrieving the value from SAP Memory</b> Before displaying the variable screen, the chosen date is retrieved from SAP Memory and used to set the date for a customer exit variable for the hierarchy validity date.
WHEN 'VAR2'.
    IF i_step = 1.
      GET PARAMETER ID 'ZBW_PARA1' FIELD w_date.
    do some operation with
      APPEND fl_var_range TO e_t_range.
    ENDIF.
It is quite a comlex construct, but it works....

I am using the portal forms and reports in the locally built providers and

need to find a way to use a dynamic LOV for select and then submit retrieve the data in a report. Anu help would be greatly appreciated.

If you accept a very basic form parameter, you can use the form automatically generated by any report component. Before, you have to create dynamic LOVs and map these LOVs to your parameters in report definition.
If you need a sophisticated parameters form (saying a "nice" form), you have to design either a regular form component (based on a dummy procedure which will call the report you made with the parameters), or a dynamic page which will call the same report. In this last case, (the better choice in my opinion) , you can embedd calls to package utility(portal.wwv_ui_lovf.show) which generates dynamic LOVs, inside the <oracle> tag.

Having trouble with using variables in functions and after functions..

Morning,
I have simplified this, as it represents the core of what’s I obviously don't know how to do.
Problem:
Say I populate that variable by reading in a list if IP addresses from file, finding the line that matches the hostname and place that string into the $IPAddress variable for use later throughout the script.   I did not run into a significant problem
until I decided to convert the routine of looking up the IP address and populating the variable into a function.   As soon as I made it a function, and called that function, the $IPAddress variable only had the data in it until the function completed.
Once the function had done its work, and had placed the data into the variable, I expected that “new” data to be available after the function had completed..in that variable. But it’s like the $IPAddress variable in the main script is a totally
different data then the variable with the same name that’s used within the function.
So I think this demonstrates some of what’s kicking my butt..
$IPAddress = "This is the wrong data”
Function TestFunction ()
$IPAddress #call to display the contents of the variable at the start of the function.
$IPAddress = Read-Host -Prompt "Please enter the text ‘Goober’"
$IPAddress   #call to display the contents of the variable at the end of the function.
TestFunction
$IPAddress
The output I get is:
This is the wrong data
"Please enter ‘Goober’" : where I enter Goober
Goober
This is the wrong data
Huh?
I had expected:
This is the wrong data
"Please enter ‘Goober’" : where I enter Goober
Goober
Goober
What good is the repeatability of a function if it’s output is lost?

THis seems to work.. IS there any reason NOT to do this?
$Global:IPAddress= "This is the wrong data” #"
Function TestFunction{
    Write-Host $IPAddress-fore green
      $host.ui.RawUI.FlushInputBuffer()
     $Global:IPAddress =
Read-Host -Prompt
"Please enter the text ‘Goober’"
    return$Global:IPAddress
TestFunction
return$Global:IPAddress

Additional Results Custom Step using Variables in Name and Value to Log expressions?

I am trying to create a Custom Step Type for logging additional results - requiring a single Name and Value data pair included in the step.
I want to pass the name and value data in using two specific variables.
This functionality can of course be explicitly coded on a test step without problem, but I can't find a way to create a custom test step which inserts such a step i.e. automatically inserting the correct variable names into Name and Value to Log fields.
Any ideas how to accomplish this? I don't want the custom step users to have to type in the variable names every time they use it.
I am using TestStand 4.1.1
Message Edited by CIM1 on 04-20-2009 07:26 AM

Hi CIM1,
There are a few ways of doing this.
The simplest one would be to configure the expression in the Pre-Expression or Post-Expression (depending on whether you would like the Step Type to use the value in the variables or write the value to the variables) and then from here you can lock away the expressions from being edited. The caveat with this method is that you are obviously restricing the Pre/Post-Expressions for the step type.
Another Method would be to code some code modules to Write to/Read from the Variables and then calling these in the Steps Pre-Step SubStep or Post-Step Substep. The advantages of this method would be that you can search for the Variable, and if the variable is not present, you could create it before writing to it.
Hope this Helps.
Best Regards,
Steve H

I need to use RTF on forms and reports

I need an RTF (Rich Text Format) text field, in wich I can copy and paste from other programs (like word), save on a db, and then print using a report. How can I do, please?

Im not sure what user agent is, but are you referring to emulating IE in another browser such as Safari or Chrome?
The "user agent" (for browsers) is how the receiver determines the senders browser. It is easily faked to make the receiver "happy". The only problems I can think of is that now the receiver might be using some flavor of HTML that the sender's browser cannot fully handle resulting in possible display or other problems.

Multiple Accounts in 7.0 using Dynamic User Forms and Account Types

Guys/Gals,
We are attempting to implement the new way of handling multiple account types in IDM 7.0 and so far are coming up unsuccessful. We have managed to customize the Dynamic Resource Forms to create standard default AD accounts, however when we attempt to create different account types of AD(i.e type ADMIN account, or TEST account) we have a no go. We've made identity rules for the types of accounts we have, and the form displays the attributes, however when we go to save, the it attemts to update the default account, and not make the new account type. Has anyone implemented these new features? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Were you ever able to implement this? I was told this was the way to handle multiple accounts for a user on a resource, but so far it's not making much sense to me, nor does it seem feasible. I was wondering if you had any success with it.

Using variables to add and subtract a number in a text field?

The adding bit works fine:
// get this pconn count
var this_p_conn:Number = Object(this).parent.p_conn;
// get current pconn total
var c_this_p_conn:Number = Object(root).part_count.p_conn_count.text
// add this pconn count to total pconn
var v_this_p_conn:Number = Number(this_p_conn+c_this_p_conn);
// Update total pconn with new value
Object(root).part_count.p_conn_count.text = String(v_this_p_conn)
Removing a value from the total is another story, this looks like it should work but it does not:
// get this pconn count
var count_p_conn:Number = Object(this).parent.p_conn;
// get current pconn total
var total_p_conn:Number = Object(root).part_count.p_conn_count.text;
// subtract this pconn count from total pconn
var new_p_conn:Number = Number(total_p_conn-count_p_conn);
// Update total pconn with new value
Object(root).part_count.p_conn_count.text = String(new_p_conn);
Any ideas or suggestions? My eyes are a bit blurry from looking at code, maybe I missed something obvious. Thanks in advance!

Never mind, I got it worked out now.
I had the subtraction code firing AFTER my remove self code, so the player never got to fire the subtract code:
var b:MovieClip = Object(this).parent;
Object(this).parent.parent.removeChild(b);
I placed the subtract code before the above code and now it works fine... I think I need powernap...
The lesson here is that apparently code fires from the top to the bottom, mind the order of how your code is stacked.
Sorry for the fuss! Carry on.
