Accessing JDE URL with parameters

Hi, we're looking for a way to utilize functionality to access a JDE application by embedding an URL link. In addition, we would like to have it contain values that can be passed into the form data structure and populate the filter fields. I have an Oracle white paper on parameterized URL, but can't seem to get it working. Has anybody done this before? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,

Hi Jim, yes - we're doing this following the instructions from the attached document.

Here is a sample link that we embed in emails:

http://oasweb.wagstaff.com:7777/jde/HostedE1Servlet?OID=P56NPR01_W56NPR01C&FormDSTmpl=|1|&FormDSData=|38429|&jdecloselink=http://oasweb.wagstaff.com%3A7777/jde

A key piece of information is the pairing of the entries from the Form Data Structure Template list (FormDSTmpl) and the Form Data Structure Data list (FormDSData). For each field that you want to pass to the application as a filter there must be a corresponding argument in the Form's data structure. The ID# for that argument is what goes in the FormDSTmpl list.

There was an older, pre-8.96 version of the white paper document that had a somewhat different structure defined. Make sure your version you've been following is for 8.96 and above (the attached file is that document).

Hope this helps,

Hi Larry, thanks for your prompt response. This is actually the right version of the document that I'm using. I tried to use the link that was in the document (changed the server name, of course), but i get a "404 Page not found" error.

http://jdehtml:81/jde/HostedE1Servlet?OID=P4210_W4210E&FormDSTmpl=|8|9|10|13|14|15|17|&FormDSData=||SO|||||||&jdecloselink=http://www.yahoo.com

this is the same link as the document on page 6
thanks!

Hey newguy,
just stop passing very complex parameters. first try to see if you are able to open jde from your browser. if it goes thru then try to open an app thru url and then add one parameter and so on.

Thanks

Good Advice!

Try using this link instead of the one in the whitepaper:

http://yourserver/jde/servlet/com.jdedwards.runtime.shortcut.ShortcutLauncher

That with your appended querystring values such as ?scApp=P5504RAP&scForm=W5504RAPA&scVersion=ZPSI0001&scDataFormat=1|W5504RAPA|1|2|3|4|5|6&scData=|||||12A32A45A132

Also see the attached jsp file for a custom front end that I wrote for 8.12 that looks like the normal login however retrieves the client's IP and passes it to a custom program in JDE.

Of course where ever I have "yourserver" change to your servers name or IP.

Good luck

Do we have an option to pass the username and pass thru url?

Please, look at our Menu Gadget software - it can pass in the signon...
