Web User Input Form - in terms for DQ & DI

Hi All,
Thanks a lot for your excellent contribution on these topics.
I have one question
Is there a web user input form available for Business SMEs or User to input their rules/metadata which will get converted to equivalent code snippets into DI or DQ components automatically.
If so, apart from Data Services Management console and Metadata reporting console, what are the other web services available to cater to this, kindly give us more insight on to this please.
Regards
Chandra

Look at the top of this forum. There is a header that describes what this forum is for:
This forum is dedicated to all other development-related questions which are not directly addressed by other forums. This includes Business Objects SDKs, products, or technologies which do not fall under BusinessObjects Enterprise, BusinessObjects Edge, Crystal Reports Server, or Crystal Reports (for example Desktop Intelligence SDK, Universe Designer SDK, Portal Integration Kits, Java User Function Libraries, and other third party technologies or development languages).
Does any of the above relate to your query? If not, you're in the wrong forum and you'll have to find a corect forum to post to.

Web app: How can I make a web app input form post directly to a sub category

Please, how can I go about this? Some of the ideas coming to my head is to replace the section I require with the generated webapp input form code with this:
<input type="radio" name="CAT_Category" value="{module_category, ID} onclick="javascript: return false;" >2013 /> // Not tested because am not sure of the markup
Am I on point ? Or is there any other way I can get this done.

I Trickster, pardon me if am not clear enough. But this is it. I have many BC Categories setup for different web apps. If you use the module {module_categorylist} only. BC will populate all the categories on the BC site, instead of a specific category relevant to the web app. If it is {module_categorylist, categoryID}, you are telling BC to use the the categories in a specific category.
When you say that you want to assign a web app item to a sub-category... do you mean the built in BC categories . I want to do this via the web app input form not through the admin.
Do you have a top-level category that contains all the relevant sub categories that the user could use to classify/categorize the web app item upon submission? Yea I have a top category that the user could use. It is this top-level category ID, I have used with the categorylist module.
If you don't want the user to choose the sub-category themselves, how do you plan to derive the sub-category anyway? Thanks again Trickster. You have provided the solution to that with the hidden input field code you shared earlier. The sub-category has been pre setup as usual in BC and the sub-category ID would be used as you instructed in the code. This is intended for another web app that won't require users selecting a category. This is the example you shared:
<input type="hidden" name="CAT_Category" value="my category ID"/>
Using my example above I was able to test and have it working (using {module_categorylist} with the SELECT element) on a web app input form and when I submitted the new web app item it was classified in the category I chose. Yes Trickster, it works for me too that way. the web app item was classified perfectly, but if you go to your the web app item submitted at the admin-end, you will discover in that the category the user selected in the front-end is not selected, even though the item was classified
I have highlighted it here: http://screencast.com/t/dwiXzBFXp
The option selected by the user is not captured. It often defaults to the 2012, even when the user selected 2013 and the item has been classified as 2013.
I hope am more clearer. Thanks for all the effort.

The web app input form is not holding what i enter in it

Am setting up a business directory using the web apps, and two of fields are custom, one for map and video, {tag_map embed} {tag_video embed}. Now when I add a business using the web app input form. All the other fields work perfect in the list and detail page, but in the detail page where the map and video tags are, they are empty, the form isn’t taking what I enter in the map and video field. I tried text (string) and text (multiline), no change. But when I add the business in the back end, it works. So it makes me think there is something wrong with the input form. I also try with the edit layout form once the business was added, that didn’t work too.
Any ideas what would be causing this to happen

User input; how to account for unlimited names typed in

So, I finally figured out how to write a program that, given the input of three names, can replace any one of the given names with anything the user wants.
My problem is that it only works for three names, and apparently, my professor wants the program to work for as many names as the user puts in (ie, a user can input 10, 100, 5000 names, and the program will replace any one of those names with anything else).
I have no idea in the world how to do this. How can you extract the name "pieces" from the user-inputed string?
Help is GREATLY appreciated!
Here is the code for the three-name-only program, but I don't know if it can be modified.
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Rename
public static void main(String args[])
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
String name, first, middle, last, space;
space = " ";
System.out.print("Type your whole name: ");
name = in.nextLine();
first = name.substring(0, name.indexOf(space));
name = name.substring(name.indexOf(space)+1, name.length());
middle= name.substring(0, name.indexOf(space));
last = name.substring(name.indexOf(space)+1, name.length());
System.out.print("Which part don't you like? ");
String dlike = in.nextLine();
System.out.print("What should it be changed to? ");
String rep = in.nextLine();
String kirt, john, bob;
kirt = first.replace(dlike, rep);
john = middle.replace(dlike, rep);
bob = last.replace(dlike, rep);
if (dlike.equals(first))
System.out.println("New name: " + kirt + space + middle + space + last);
else if (dlike.equals(middle))
System.out.println("New name: " + first + space + john + space + last);
else
System.out.println("New name: " + first + space + middle + space + bob);
}

Do you have to read in within the program using Scanner? If not, then you could also just let the user submit the names using the args[] array in your main method. This way the names automatically come in a array as long as necessary with all the names.
Just to clarify:
User types: java Rename John Bob Roger Whoever
And in your program:
public static void main(String[] args){
// args now contains "John", "Bob", "Roger", and "Whoever"
// do all your stuff
}

Set Assigned to in case from user input form

Hi there
Can anyone tell me if you can set the case Assigned to property from a user input field.
Like you can set a category <input type="text" value="Client App id tag" maxlength="255" id="CAT_Category" name="CAT_Category" class="cat_textbox_small" />
Maybe cat_assignedTo ?
Cheers Daniel

Hi Octopuse,
Please check if you defined the object type in the form
    <action type="add">
      <form AutoManaged="1" ... ObjectType="NAMESPACE_UserMaster" ... uid="NAMESPACE_FORM">
        <datasources>
Please keep in mind that table names and user objects should always be prefixed with the partner Namespace.

How can I pre-populate a web app input form with data from a webform in the CRM?

Scenario:
A customer fills a registration webform. The customers data is stored in BC CRM as usual. This step provides a lead to marketing unit and the team makes a follow up. Upon completion of internal processes. The workflow initiated by this customer filling the registration form is approved.
Th user is sent a 3rd-party notification with a url to enable the user complete the registration process by entering the information into a web app.
The Issue:
The client is requesting that he doesn't want the the customer to re-enter some of the information that has been captured in the registration form again since it will be laborious for the user to do this. He wants the system to store this customer data already in the CRM and pre-fill the web app form so that the user just submit the data, so that the item can be in the appropriate web app as web app item.
Question: Is this possible? Can this be achieved via js. How should I go about it.
Your assistance will be appreciated.
Thanks.

For each option you would need to only have a custom text field for that item. This is where the otpion for each gets populated with javasript.
Each option is your own html that is a select with options as web app items. A list layout of your web app items is just a select with text and value of that item.
Your tricky thing is to setup the matrix of rules to define what shows and when. You can do that with data source association between web apps if it is a 1-1 relationship but if it is 1 to many you need to form script matrix to define what happens on each change.
It depends on the details but thats the core of it.

How to generate the User-Input XML Body for executing workflows via REST APIs: The Solution

I see that executing a workflow via REST APIs requires lot of work to be done just to prepare the right User-input XML body. Any mistake and you have some major debugging to do. Larger the number of User-Inputs, the bigger is the problem.Life is so much easier at the WFA GUI with Display names and tooltip help for User Inputs which are very easy for reading and providing the right values. I don't have any such privileges when manually preparing the User-Input XML body.It’s been asked numerous times how to provide User-Input values for type table, or Query (Multi-Select) etc. These are complex User-Input types and has lots of scope for user mistakes.I can have User-input dependency at WFA GUI which allows me to make the right selection, but while preparing my XML body I need to take care of it myself.An operator is allowed to execute workflows, but the same Display names which help him make the right user-inputs, makes it impossible for him to prepare the user-input body xml. Display names can't be used in in XML body and he can't know the exact parameter names by looking at the Display names. So he need to always contact the Admins/Architects for this. And Architects/Admins can't be expected to keep providing User-Input XML body to operators every operator. How about if I could enter all the User-Input values in my workflow execution at WFA GUI, I can do a preview which passed to my satisfaction and then I can magically get the XML body for it which I can use to execute my workflow from REST APIs from any client. It could be so very much easy for me than building my User-Input XML body manually. This is exactly what I'm going to give you right now. You open the WFA in browser, Go to your workflow, Start execution, you input values from GUI reading carefully the display names, preview it to your satisfaction and then get the XML body. Assume your workflow is called “Workflow to Print a given Message”. It’s a simple workflow with only 1 user-input Displayed as "Message to Print" Prerequisites: The following are the one-time prerequisites. You need PowerShell 3.0 on your WFA server.Import the attached Generate_Workflow_User_Input_Body_in_XML.dar in your WFA. It’s our magical command called "Generate Workflow User Input Body in XML"Add credentials of a WFA Admin/Architect in you WFA itself with Name/IP: localhostMatch: ExactType: OtherName/IP: localhostUsername: <WFA Admin/Architect Username>Password: <User Password> Steps: Suppose you have a workflow called "Workflow to Print a given Message". You want to execute it from REST apis and need to prepare the user input XML body. Select this workflow and clone it. The workflow clone is the exact copy of your original workflow word by word, input-by-input. It will open in Edit mode with name "Workflow to Print a given Message - copy".Add the command "Generate Workflow User Input Body in XML" at the beginning of your workflow. This is a must. This command need to be the first command in your cloned workflow.This command requires no input. So for its Parameters just press okay and save the workflow.You are done.Now Execute the clone workflow. You'll see all the user-inputs available to you. Make your choices as you wish. Preview it to confirm that planning is passed and u have no errors.Execute it now.You'll see that the our magical command "Generate Workflow User Input Body in XML" has failed in our clone workflow execution. Don't worry, its fate was decided to be so. But it didn't fail before giving me what I really wanted. i.e. my XML body for my real workflow. It displayed it in the GUI as well as saved it in your WFA server @ C:\temp\<workflow_name_dd_MM_yyyy_hh_mm_ss_.xmlIt also deleted all the reservations of this particular failed job. So NO major residue left to be cleaned.To summarize: Clone Your workflow and Add the command "Generate Workflow User Input Body in XML" as your first command. Start Execution, provide your User-inputs and preview it. Be satisfied and Press Okay. Now Execute it. After a few scconds this cloned workflow will fail with Error "All done. The Workflow will fail now." See the command execution logs for this command. You'll see the User-Input XML body. It has also saved the XML file at C:\temp in your WFA server. Have fun. sinhaa

How do you keep a VI running while waiting for user input?

I have a VI that:
1. The user enters set points.
2. The user starts the VI and the VI sends the set points to an external process via a serial interface.
3. The VI stops running.
4 The user waits for the external process to complete.
5. Repeat sequence. Go to Step 1.
This works well except for one small problem. Starting the VI in step 2 causes an external micro controller to reset. During the reset it will ignore set point commands. To get around this problem a delay has been added between when the VI opens the serial port and when the VI sends the set points to the external process Is it possible to keep a VI running continuously in this type of application, thereby eliminating the start up and shut down of the serial interface?
If yes, how do you keep a VI running while waiting for user input?

Derive values based upon user input

Hello,
I recieved a request for a report.
When a user runs the report they are to be prompted for a fiscal year/period.
Based on the fiscal year/period that the user provides I have the following columns (in bold below are 2 examples that may make the description more clear).
1. Revenue for the Fiscal year Prior to the fiscal year of the user input value
2. Revenue for the Fiscal year/Period prior to the input Fiscal year/period
3. Revenue for the Year to date accumulation up to the prior fiscal year/period that the user input
4. Revenue for the Year to date accumulation up to the prior fiscal year (fiscal year rolls back first) and prior period (for period 01, it then rolls back the fiscal year 1 more year) that the user input
Example 1: If the user ran the query and they provided the value 05/2007, then the values that need to be obtained would be:
1. Revenue for 2006
2. Revenue for 04/2007
3. Revenue for 01/2007 to 04/2007
4. Revenue for 01/2006 to 04/2006
Example 2: If the user ran the query and they provided the value 01/2008, then the values that need to be obtained would be:
1. Revenue for 2007
2. Revenue for 12/2007
3. Revenue for 01/2007 to 12/2007
4. Revenue for 01/2006 to 12/2006
Please help me with determining how to obtain the user input value, and then how to derive the time periods for the columns based upon that value.
Thanks,
Nick

            l_s_range-sign = k_sign_inclusive.
            l_s_range-opt = k_option_between.
            APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
          ENDIF.
Hope this example helps..

Variables to a BI Query from input form and chart?

Hi,
I have a query (QUERY A) to which I connected an input form to define the variables. The output is a chart which tells us a status overview.
Now I want to use the input form as well for entering the variables for QUERY B. This is no problem as the variables are passed through correctly. However, I also wanna filter on status by selecting the status in the chart. This does not work unfortunately.
Situation:
INPUT FORM ----------> QUERY A ---------------> CHART----------------------------
                                  |                                             |
                                  |                                             |
                                  |                                             |
                                  ----->QUERY B <--------------------------------
                                              |
                                              |
                                              ----------->OUTPUT (VARIABLES FROM INPUT FORM AND CHART}
Is this possible at all?
Best regards,
Jan Laros

Hi Jan,
I suspect that you are only partially passing the variables in two separate select events. You should be able to meet your requirement with the following approach:
1) Connect a select event from the output port of the form to the input/variable port of Query B. In the input parameters reference both the relevant form fields AND the chart fields you want to filter by;
2) Connect a select event from the output port of the chart to the input/variable port of Query B. In the input parameters reference both the relevant form fields AND the chart fields you want to filter by;
In other words, each select event link should reference the same fields from both the form and the chart.
Regards,
Mustafa.

Netbeans 4.1 input form problem.

hi all.
i have a problem with netbeans ide 4.1 Build 200505031930 (Java 1.5.0_05).
When i run (F6) my project (already builded), netbeans show me an input form (in the output window) but only for few moments.
i can't write the inputs (the input form disappear instantaneously) for my little project and i receive this error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 0 (because i use args[0]!)
Actually netbeans doesn't ask me input parameters...or better..i haven't time for write anything!
my code:
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String a = args[0];
System.out.println(a);
tnx :)

NB commandline argument input is done via a form, not in the output window. IIRC (I'm using NB 5), open the project's properties, there's an entry area.

Need User input pop-up in powershell when its run as a background process of an Application

Hi,
I have created a powershell script which requires two parameters to be passed onto it for getting executed. This script is called by an application and runs it in background (no console / window). During this process the application is unable to complete
the execution of the script due to the missing user inputs (no popup comes for entering parameters by even after using read-host/[system.console]::Read()).
The powershell.exe process can only be seen in task manager.
Is there a way in which my script will create a pop up and ask for the parameter values?
Thanks,

Note that a process that runs with hidden windows will have all of its child process windows hidden. Any popup you add to the script will behidden. There is nothing you can do about that. This is by design.
