VS2010 Cannot pass Parameters Programmatically

When I assign reports programmatically in VS2010, the box to enter parameters pops up. I am using a simple .SetParameterValue statement. THis worked in VS2008.

Hi,
I also experienced this problem and managed to get passed it. I found the new property on the report viewer called 'ShowParameterPanelButton' and set it false however that did NOT solve my problem. Remember too that property values are language specific if your form is localizable.
It seems that Crystal has always had problems (well without going further, that about says it all but...) with resolving the server at run time if the server was not resolved at design time. For example, developer a report against a server, later open the report at design time where the server is no longer valid, close the report without resolving a new server, build and ship and it will probably fail to resolve the server at the customer installation. The moral is, if the report is opened at design time, the server configuration must have integrity. Go to the menu of the design time surface for the report, Select the menu Crystal.., Database, Set DataSource Location and make sure each object for the report is correctly set to a valid server. Then in the Main Report View tab of the designer, refresh the report and be sure that either the parameter selection window opens or the report displays data if there are no report parameters. While you are at it there is a check box at the top of this surface 'Save Data in Report'. I don't know what the deal is there, can't find an explanation in the docs but I unchecked it.
Note that saving the report will cause a prompt to save in the NEW format which I assume is the new SAP sauce, Ok.
After performing the above actions my reports again worked correctly while otherwise would simply ignore parameters and return huge data sets.
I don't like black magic answers and I especially detest the 'I dunno it works for me' answers one so commonly finds in forums. Probably only second in annoyance to answers in the flavor 'rewrite it all this way and it should work'. What I presented above solved my problem, I hope it allows you to get passed one of the many mysterious trip points that makes Crystal such a 'joy'.
My project is now about 7 years along and since I took the trouble to offer the above let me also indulge in a minor rant.
My project is large and sophisticated but with all the analysis, design and coding, no problem consumed as much time, energy in terms of shear frustration, customer dissatisfaction in terms of unexpected behavior on their servers as Crystal Reports! It has been the bane of my experience on my otherwise extemely satisfying project. I have suffered through the product changing hands multiple times and yet never presenting more plainly documented or otherwise satisfying experience to the developer. I am not alone in my frustration as any developer with Crystal experience will agree even if they have been fortunate enough to benefit from someone elses knowledge.
What was once the darling of the fledging VB community is, in my opinion, a quirky, difficult to code legacy product over shadowed by so many better products that have kept pace with modern development practices. Thankfully I need only keep existing reports working, not create new ones in Crystal Reports.
Considering it is not open source, Crystal should present; clear documentation, good examples, clean library interfaces and great online problem resolution. In my opinion it has never stepped up to any of the above. I acknowledge the forums and I did manage to find and purchase one book over the years though frankly it was not useful.
That is my rant against Crystal, it has been 7 years in coming. Good luck SAP. For the sake of all dependent developers I hope you do more than put a token of effort into the product and then sell it as your predecessors have done or extricated themselves from what is probably by this time, a nightmare of code under the covers.

Passing parameters into the Oracle form

I want to pass some paramaters into the .fmx file which i invoke through the applet. like say, in the following line
serverArgs="module=abc001.fmx userid=user/pwd@dbuser useSDI=no"
i want to pass parameters in the following manner:
serverArgs="module=abc001.fmx(param1,param2) userid=user/pwd@dbuser useSDI=no"
since one cannot pass parameters to a .fmx file before invoking it, it does not seem possible.
But is there a sort of a workaround? A java wrapper for oracle forms?? so that i pass parametrs to the java class and it passes this info to the form.
i need to pass these parameters because these param1,param2 are the username/password for my oracle forms-based application which implements its own in-house user validation logic and i need to display the menu in the applet based on the user without prompting him for this application username/password
thanks
Any help will be highly appreciated.

In the form FNDRSRUN which is the Standard Request Submission form there are parameters CHAR1-CHAR5, NUMBER1-NUMBER5, and DATE1-DATE5. I was wondering if i populate the parameter NUMBER1 with my value how can I access this parameter when the form is brought up. This is more of an applications setup issue I will be creating a function that calls the FNDRSRUN form this function will force this form to use a single request not a request group. In the request setups there is a parameter. When I set up the request parameter I have to select a value set and then for Default Type I can select Constant, Profile, SQL Statement, or Segment and then I have to give a default value. Can I default this parameter to use NUMBER1 or another parameter in the FNDRSRUN form.

Passing Parameters via OpenDocument URL to OLAP Analysis .amw

did anyone ever manage to successfully create an OpenDocument URL which passes parameters to an existing analysis workspace .amw?
We already linked to other .crp and BEx reports, but maybe .amw needs some special syntax..
I appreciate every hint

CR Enterprise 4.0 SP2 in usage

Hi,
I can confirm: The situation for A-OLAP is the same as it was for Voyager.
Analysis, like voyager, supports outbound opendoc params (ie pass context to WebI/CR) but not inbound params. The only exception is that you can specify which Voyager workspace to open.
Voyager/analysis supports SAP connection parameters on opendoc, but this is a manual selection in prompts. You cannot programmatically set connection variables.
Today we also support "Jumplinks"... a feature in both Voyager and A-OLAP that allows contextual information to be passed to a pre-defined Crystal Report.
For BI4.1 (end 2012) SAP plans to make A-OLAP more open. This includes supporting SAP's Report-Report-Interface (RRI) and extending the OpenDocument parameters beyond just the workspace name that is supported today.

H

How to pass Parameters between two forms

im trying to do this but i could not find any way for this.
can any one help me how can i pass parameters between two forms
in forms4.5. any help will be appreciated
thanks.

Global variables can be used, but you can do what the online help
says ...
Parameters are passed to called forms by means of a parameter
list. A parameter list is a named programmatic construct that is
simply a list of parameter names (called keys) and their values.
You can pass parameter values to forms invoked by the built-in
subprograms CALL_FORM, OPEN_FORM, and NEW_FORM. In addition, you
can pass parameter values to other Oracle tools with the
RUN_PRODUCT procedure.
A parameter you include in a parameter list can be either a text
parameter or a data parameter. The parameter type determines how
its value is interpreted.
Text Parameters The value of a text parameter being passed to a
called product is a CHAR string that can represent the following:
n a user-defined form parameter defined in a form invoked
by the CALL_FORM, OPEN_FORM, or NEW_FORM built-in subprograms
n a command line or user-defined parameter for a product
invoked with the RUN_PRODUCT built-in subprogram
Data Parameters The value of a data parameter being passed to a
called product is always the name of a record group defined in
the current form. (A record group is a data structure that
stores records derived from a query or through programmatic
assignment.) Data parameters are used to pass data to products
invoked with the RUN_PRODUCT built-in subprogram. You cannot
pass data parameters to forms.
The following table shows the structure of a parameter list that
contains four parameters:
Key Paramtype Value
CITY Text_Parameter 'BOGOTA'
CATEGORY Text_Parameter 'EXPORTS'
MULTIPLIER Text_Parameter '.0275'
NEW_DATA Data_Parameter 'RECORD_GROUP8'

How to open a page from a Form and pass parameters to the form on that page

I found a similar example on this forum, but it did not work for me:
declare
l_names owa.vc_arr;
l_values owa.vc_arr;
i number;
begin
PORTAL.wwpro_api_parameters.retrieve(l_names, l_values);
FOR i in 1..l_names.count
LOOP
htp.p(l_names(i) || ' ' || l_values(i));
END LOOP;
end;
By using this method i get the parameters for the Form, like the session ID, but not the parameters for the Page that the form is displayed in.
Another method I tried:
To open a Form from a Form and pass parameters works fine like this:
--In the After processing page PL/SQL event.
declare
v_id number;
blk varchar2(10):='DEFAULT';
Begin
v_id:=p_session.get_value_as_number (p_block_name=>blk,p_attribute_name=>'A_ID');
if v_id > 0 then
htp.formOpen('PORTAL.wwa_app_module.link?p_arg_names=_moduleid&p_arg_values=2649500412&p_arg_names=_show_header&p_arg_values=YES&p_arg_names=ID&p_arg_values='||to_char(v_id),'post');
htp.formSubmit(NULL,'Upload Files');
htp.formClose;
end if;
End;
But I want to open a Page containing the Form instead of just opening the Form. Is this possible to open a Page and pass paramters to the page, and then let the form inside the Page access the passed paramters. The reason for this is that a Form cannot be based on a page template, or can it? When opening the form i want to keep the left menu, which I can if it is a page based on my template with the left menu.
Best regards
Halvor

Hi,
You can do this by calling the url of the page with the form. You can then use p_arg_names and p_arg_values to pass parameters. In the called form you can get the value from p_arg_names and p_arg_values and assign it to the form field.
You can call this code in the success procedure of the calling form.
declare
v_id number;
blk varchar2(10):='DEFAULT';
v_url varchar2(2000);
Begin
v_id:=p_session.get_value_as_number (p_block_name=>blk,p_attribute_name=>'A_ID');
v_url := <page_url>;
if v_id > 0 then
call(v_url||'&p_arg_names=id&p_arg_values='||v_id);
end if;
End;
In the called form in "Before displaying form" plsql section write this code.
for i in 1..p_arg_names.count loop
if p_arg_names(i) = 'id' then
p_session.set_value(
p_block_name => blk,
p_attribute_name => 'A_ID',
p_value => p_arg_values(i)
end if;
end loop;
This code picks up the value from p_arg_values and assigns it to the form field.
Hope that helps.
Thanks,
Sharmila

Pass Parameters to T.Code in the portal from aTransaction Iview.

Good Morning.
I published a T.code in the portal as a Transaction Iview. This work fine.
I want pass a parameter to this t.code and that the program ABAP can get this value .
I check a suggestion in the post following :
From Portal transaction iView
I did the steps , but this not work. I don't can get the value passed in the field Applications Parameters.
Attach screenshot with the steps that I did.
[Screenshot|http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/3d4dd249ad.jpg]
I want know how can solve this issue?
Thank in advance.
Regards

Hi Carmen,
The bottom line is that this cannot be done for transaction iviews without modifying the standard webgui service in SICF, which is probably not a good idea (since it affects everyone using SAP GUI for HTML). (You could hack the appintegrator to add the ~webgui_simple_toolbar parameter to the transaction URL template in the portal, but again its not a recommended thing to do ...). Better to create an IAC service in SICF with ~webgui=1 where you set the required appearance using an appropriate value for ~webgui_simple_toolbar, and then create an IAC iview to point at this service.
You can even override the ~transaction value configured in the new service in individual IAC iviews by entering the appropriate value in the application parameter of the iview, for example:
~okcode=/nSU01
And you can pass parameters in the same way:
~okcode=/nSU01 USR02-BNAME=xyz;USREFUS-USERALIAS=abc;
By the way, it would not be recommended to create a URL iview to access an IAC, since you are likely to encounter session management issues in this scenario - better to use an IAC iview.

HTTP POST method does not pass parameters to the server

Hi ,
I am using SSO using VSJ product and implemented using a filter.
I have problems as below
1. Every request to the web server will be intercepted by this vsj filter and if sso does not succeed it will send 403
2. my system will detect 403 in web.xml and redirect to login page
3. user key in username and password and log in
4. after successful login set the HttpSession and redirect to homepage
Problem is subsquent form submit / ajax call using "POST" method cannot pass any parameters to the servers ( parameters sent using POST will be null in the servers ) ? GET is okay
If i comment out the vsj filter altogether , everything works as per normal.
My Question is
1. Is there anyway to overcome come ?
2. Is there any method to clear off whatever this sso vsj has set ( clear cookies / start new browser instance / etc ) in order to forget the state
Any idea?
Thanks

Yes.
here to illustrate
public MyFilter extends VSJAuthFilter
*public void doFilter(){*
*if(session.getAttribute("loginSucces") != true){*
super.doFilter(); //call VSJ Auth filter to perform SSO in order to get User Principal populated.
*}else{*
chain.doFilter(); // normal filter
My Filter only intercepts *.jsp and *.do
Basically here is the pattern that i observe
1. If i hit default url (homepage.do) for the first time it will trigger the super.doFilter() , it will then throw 403 and redirect to login.html , after success and go to homepage , subsequent POST parameter is missing
2. if i hit the external login page directly just to simulate ( eg : login.html ) it wont trigger this filter , after success and go to homepage , subsequenet POST parameter is okay
3. GET is always ok
I am using weblogic server 10.x btw
Thanks

Hi,
You cannot generate items dynamically at runtime. The only thing you can do is show and hide item on time. Thay seems that they are generated at run time. Second thing you can do is that you can put items on stack canvas and set visible property of stack canvas to no and at run time set it to visible according to ur condition. Otherwise there is no way. If you find any other way, plz do inform here also.

Passing parameters to an Aggregator

I'm using an aggregator to processing some data in my cluster, but this process depends on a 'context'. For example, an aggregator needs to know which tenant and which user is running the aggregation.
To pass this context to the aggregator I'm using a serializable class member on the Aggregator class like this:
public class MyAggregator<D , R> extends AbstractAggregator {
         * This is the accumulator / aggregator. It is transient to avoid passing it to another cluster member
     private transient Map<String, List<R>> aggregators;
      * Identifier of tenant. It should be pass it to all the cluster members
     private String tenantId;
      * Username. It should be pass it to all the cluster members
     private String username;
        // Rest of the aggregator
}In my first version, I was setting the 'context' (tenant/username) using the constructor of the aggregator, but when I ran this aggregator I got a NoSuchMethodException because my class did not have a constructor with no parameters. In my second version I've added the no-args constructor but now I'm getting a NullPointerException because my tenant/username are null.
So, here are my questions?
* Why coherence needs a no-args contructor in the aggregator? I was expecting coherence to serialize my Aggregator (with all the serializable class members) and then pass it to another cluser member. So why it needs to construct a new aggregator? NOTE: if you see my example code, you will see that the aggregator is actually transient to avoid passing it to another cluster member (I got this from the book Oracle Coherence 3.5 by Aleksander Seovic).
* If this does not work ... How can I pass parameters to my aggregators? I cannot run the aggregator "anonymously" ... The elements to be aggregated depends on the tenant and the user.
Thanks in advance,

Coherence need the empty constructor for the POF de-serialization.
You can just put both constructor in your class and use the one with two String input parameter when you instantiate the object. However, you will need to implement the readExternal and writeExternal (assume you have POF configured) method to pass the tenantId and username.
Something like this.
public class MyAggregator<D, R> extends AbstractAggregator
     * This is the accumulator / aggregator. It is transient to avoid passing it
     * to another cluster member
    private transient Map<String, List<R>> aggregators;
     * Identifier of tenant. It should be pass it to all the cluster members
    private String tenantId;
     * Username. It should be pass it to all the cluster members
    private String username;
    public MyAggregator(String tenantId, String username)
        this.tenantId = tenantId;
        this.username = username;
    public MyAggregator()
    @Override
    public void readExternal(
        PofReader in)
        throws IOException
        this.tenantId = in.readString(1000);
        this.username = in.readString(1001);
        super.readExternal(in);
    @Override
    public void writeExternal(
        PofWriter out)
        throws IOException
        super.writeExternal(out);
        out.writeString(1000, tenantId);
        out.writeString(1001, username);
    // Rest of the aggregator
}

Trying to pass parameters between GUI classes and methods

Hi All.
I have been working on a rather large final year project in college and it is getting close to the deadline. It looks as though I need to "tidy up" my code as it contains too many static methods, variables and other bad programming habits. My package consists of many different GUI's and classes. Up until now I have been calling different GUI's with guiName.NameOfMethod. I have been told this is bad practice so I am trying to fix this. Also instead of passing parameters correctly I have been creating static variables in my main class and using them. So for example if one class needed to pass a variable to the other I would first myGlobalVariable = X; in the first class. And then the second class can use this. This is also bad, right?
So I guess im really just looking for a good example or tutorial on how to pass parameters between classes and methods, GUI if possible. Here is an example of how my GUI classes look:
public class anotherGUI extends JFrame implements ActionListener {
        private JTextField a, b, c;
        private JButton button1, button2;
        JPanel p, p1;
        public anotherGUI() {
            LayOutAnotherGUI();
            setLocationRelativeTo(DnDMain.pictureArray[a]);
            setTitle("Example");
            setVisible(true);
            pack();
        private void LayOutAnotherGUI(int c) {
     //GUI is layed out here
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
            Object source = e.getSource();
            if (source == submit)
                clickOK();
        public void clickOK(){
            //Here is where I have been accessing and modifying static global variables. (But this needs to change).
public void showanotherGUI() {
        new anotherGUI();
}This is more or less how I have been going about creating my GUI's. These are used as pop ups. The user enters a value and then it is closed.
To be honest I have been able to pass a variable correctly from one class to a GUI class but I have still having difficulty. For example in my code above I can pass the variable into this class but I cannot pass it into clickOK(). An this is where it is needed.
Can anyone please help?
I hope I have explained my problem well.
Thanks in advance.

I dont think that is what I need. An example of what I do in my program is:
I have a main GUI with an array of images. There are a number of other small GUI's that appear for certain functions when the user clicks on an image or does some other function. I am trying to pass a value into the GUI class that is used for the smaller "pop up" GUI. So lets say the user has clicked the image in array[12]. Then a GUI is displayed. I need to pass the integer 12 into this class.
Thanks.

Passing parameters by customizing worksheet portlet

Hi,
is there a max on number of entries in a "parameterbox" on a worksheet portlet?
Whenever we try to pass more than 90 selected values for a parameter the portlet comes up empty (it works fine in discoverer viewer/plus). Selecting a few values less (let's say 80) it works fine. Anyone have the same problem or better yet a solution.
Another funny thing we encountered was the fact that the entries in the parameterbox are always sorted on their type: for example a "Month" parameter in a worksheet based on a discoverer lov with alternative sort on month number (MM), is displayed as a alphabetically sorted list in the "customize" window of a portlet defined on the same worksheet. Anyone recognize this?
Hope some of you guys can give me some answers.
Grtz.
Jurgen

Hi Jurgen,
There are plans to support worksheet portlet parameters in the near future. They cannot accept parameters today.
