Variables Vs. Parameters

Hello,
I'm attempting to call a method (with several parameters) from another class. I've instantiated a new instance of said class, but passing the parameters is something which is posing a bit of difficulty...as the parameter values are determined by command line arguments (its a console app) as well as data in a config file...this is basically what I'm looking at.
The original method within source class (named CSVToXML)
public void doMain(String args[], CSVToXML app, String name){
// associated logic What i've done to call this method is this...
CSVToXML passer = new CSVToXML();
passer.doMain(String args[], CSVToXML app, String name);I know that's not quite correct, I get a message stating " ')' Expected"...but where those parameters aren't determined until console arguments are input, I'm not sure what to do...there. Any suggestions and/or insight?

You don't use the variable types when using them.
It would be just passer.doMain(args, app, name);
Also, if you don't know that, why aren't you reading the tutorials? You shouldn't be allowed to code yet.

Variables or parameters in Sender JDBC Adapter.

Hi,
I have the following question:
Is there any way to use variables or parameters when specifying the WHERE clause of a SQL SELECT statement or when using a Store Procedure in a Sender JDBC Adapter? If so, can anyone give an example.
Thanks in advance.

What are variables or parameters in Apex and how to use them?

Hi
What are variables or parameters in apex and how to use them to connect and run BI Publisher Report
From Apex URL

Hello Kanaiya,
You should go here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/index.html
Look at "What is Oracle APEX?" then download the documentation and review the various PDF files that are available.
If you have a version of APEX installed and available, go through the 2-Day Application Express Developer's Guide followed by the Advanced Developer's Guide.
Good luck,

How can i find all global variable and parameters in a form?

I don't know name of global variables and parameters,but i want get their name and value .
how can i do? who can help me?
Thank you.

no problem. As Francois said you can't do it programmatic in runtime.
But when you use the debug-mode you can see each global with name and value.
By the way: It's not good to not know all the globals in your application. This is one of the most important things you have to write down for your app. Create a wiki for such informations, so that all developer can share their information.

String variable - within parameters statement

Hi,
is it possible to define a string variable like:
PARAMETERS: var_xxx type string,
It doesnt works. Why?
Thanks
Markus

HI,
For patameters you can only use FIXED-LENGTH types' Since String is a data type of variable length you can not use it for declaring parameters. Both string and Xstring cannot be used as both are variable lengths. This only for releses before ERP 2005. From ERP 2005 onwards you can type using string but not using xstring.
You can create your own type with
TYPES: param_type(200) type c.
PARAMETERS: input type param_type.

Personalisation - 'Launch a Function' using variables as parameters

I am trying to call a function from another form using Built In 'Lanch a function'.
In Add parameters, If I provide hardcoded values, its working fine. When I try to pass variables such as :GLOBAL.XX_ITEM_ID or ${item.folder.item_id.value} ,
it errors out
When I use GLOBAL variable, the error is 'Type does not match definition in form XXX ' I tried using to_char , to_number but no use.
When I use item.folder.item_id.value it errors out with 'FROM keyword not found'
I tried putting them in single quotes, pipes etc.
Can anybody tell me how to pass variabes while launching a function?
Thanks a lot.

I just solved it. Used the following syntax
'G_QUERY_FIND=PO_LINE_LOCATION_ID
PO_LINE_LOCATION_ID='||${global.xx_po_line_location_id.value}

Variables/Input Parameters Value help not showing texts

Hello,
I have created a crystal report based on a calculation view in Crystal Reports for Enterprise 4.1 SP5, which has a input parameter on the field "Region". For the value help, I am using a custom view based on T005U in which I have made sure that RegionName field is present in the "Label Column" property of the Region field.(Required for viewing descriptions of LOVs).
In the crystal report, while previewing data in the query builder, I am able to see the value help for the input parameter in the prompt screen, which displays only the key part, but does not display the description of it. Moreover, after accepting the prompt value, the preview runs into an error(as shown below). Please note that I get the error below only when Region is a part of the output fields of the query.
Instead of input parameter, when I create a variable on the region field in the main calculation view, with the same value help view, I am able to do data preview in the query builder as also data appears in the report on running the query. But, just as in the case of input parameter value help in the prompt screen, even over here, I am only able to see the key part and not the description.
Are variables/input parameter LOV's supposed to display descriptions or just the key part? As also, any reason why I should be getting this error while using Input parameter?
Kindly let me know if I am missing something in the development of this report.
Regards,
Alston

Hi,
I hope you are taking the BEx Query as a source to the crystal report. In the BEx query check region info object should is maintained as Text and Key. If text is not maintained over there you will not be getting text in Crystal reports.

Variable Transport Parameters in Mail Sender

Did anyone ever successfully use the "Variable Header XHeaderName1" in the mail sender adapter (IMAP4)?
We have two mail sender channels which require a slightly different mapping. My idea was to define a value for the field "Variable Header XHeaderName1" and evaluate that in the mapping. But the value is not passed into the SOAP header, I can configure what I want. I turned on "Adapter spec.attributes" and "Variable Transport...".
So I cannot access the field value in the mapping.
Now I evaluate the dynamic configuration field "SUser", that works, but that's only a workaround.
So either this is a bug in the system (XI 3.0 SP 21) or the documentation is wrong.
We are using an attachment, is that the problem ? "Use Mail package" off/on does not change anything.
Any ideas ? No general links to the documentation please.
CSY
Edited by: Christian Sy on Aug 15, 2008 8:48 AM

I think the DynamicConfigurationBean would help in this scenario.
You can assign a constant value in sender channel and use that constant for the determination of the mapping.

To use PARAMETERS or GLOBAL Variables

I want to share data values amongst Forms (I am using Forms 9i), which is a better trade-off using GLOBAL variables or PARAMETERS.
Which option is a better one ?
Please Suggest...
Regards,
Gaurav Srivastava

Also if your application uses go_form and allows the user to have two copies of the same form running at once, if you decide to use globals, make sure the form receiving the global erases it immediately on startup. Otherwise the user might go-form to the other copy of the form, which then be seeing the globals.

Need help on global variables / parameters

Hi friends,
Please let me know if there a way to see the list of global variables and parameters in a form.
Thanks
Joe.

I presume you mean at runtime, since at design time parameters are in the Navigator, and globals can only be created at runtime. But unfortunately at runtime there is no way to get a list of them, like you can with blocks and items. (There's no easy way to get other objects either, like LOVs, canvasses, etc., though most of them can be derived from properties of items). But let's say you thought you knew the name of a parameter or global and wanted to confirm it really exists. With parameters there is no solution; you can't use find_item(). With globals a common technique is the following:
t_name := 'global.var';
default_value('SoMe ImPoSsBlE VaLuE', t_name);
if name_in(t_name) = 'SoMe ImPoSsBlE VaLuE' then
-- the global did not exist!
erase(t_name);
else
-- the global did exist!
null;
end if;
And of course remember that globals are not owned by a form; they are visible to all forms that are running.

Parameters with jsp variables

Hi all,
 I want to know if it is possible to pass JSP script variables as parameters
 between functions and files
 for example in this tag
 <cm:selectbyid contenthome="com.beasys.commerce.axiom.document.Document"
 contentid="<%= contentId %>"
 id="newsItem" />
 I would like to pass the "newsItem" content variable to another file (as a
 return from a function) to be used later for operations such as
 <cm:printdoc id="newsItem" />
 Is this possible and if not, is there a work around it that enables me to
 place my logic of content selection in a different location than the display
 of the content
 Thanks in advance

How to get the variable value in a flatfile

I have some 2 line string in a variable I wanted to see this value in a flat file.
Thanks,
Narthan

Hi Narthan,
If I understand correctly, you want to use some variables in a Flat File Connection Manager. If in this case, we can use variables in a Property of Flat File Connection Manager. For more details, please refer to the following steps:
Click the Flat File Connection Manager in Connection Manager tab, then navigate to Properties window.
Click “…” next to the Expressions property to open the Property Expressions Editor.
In the Property Expressions Editor dialog box, select the corresponding property at the Property drop-down list.
Click “…” next to the Expressions property to open the Expression Builder, then expand Variables and Parameters folder to select the variable.
Reference:

If there are any misunderstanding, please elaborate the issue for further investigation.

Filter (variable) applied at analytical view is not reflected in Caculation view.

Hello All,
I am new to hana and would like to discuss one issue here.
Model is something like this:
Calculation view ---- > has one Analytical View ---> has one attribute view and a fact table.
Now, in analytical view I have applied a filter using a variable on dimension attribute ( column of attribute view). When I do data preview on analytical view I get a prompt (asking single value to put in - mandatory). However when I do a data preview for calculation view (which involves analytical view created earlier) ...I don't get a prompt this time.
Calculation view is a 2 level only [ semantic --> projection/aggregation(analytical view) ].
Please assist with it.
Thanks
Sumit

Thanks for your reply Ravi.
It seems like this approach is applicable for "Input Parameters" only and not for "Variable" ?
I created a variable & an Input parameter in Analytical view, and created same variable & input parameter in calculation view...and then clicked on "Input parameter managed mapping" button under section "Variables/Input parameters" of semantics. I could see only Input parameters listed on both sides not the variables.
1. I am curious now to understand ...when it is recommended that the data needs to be filtered out at the lowest level...however we still need to define parameters at calculation level ?
2. The prompt based filters applied at analytical view is getting reflected in calculation view when it(calculation view) is refreshed for data preview ?
3. Is it possible to expose analytical or attribute view directly into the business objects universe ?
Yours, and other member's reply on it will be appreciated.
Thanks
Sumit
