Passing parameters in a new DCR

Hi,
I have a requirement where i need to pass parameters while opening a new DCR ( through URL ).

href='/iw-cc/command/iw.ccpro.create_form\?vpath\=//****/xxxxx/main/xxxxx/WORKAREA/workarea/templatedata/****/StandardData&inputVal\=value1'

I could pass parameters using "&" but How do i retrieve the parameters in the target DCR? (ex inputVal ).

Thanks
A

Could you please provide your requirement details... as the params could not be read directly?

However if you want to extract the values and want to fill the same within DCR as item values, then you can take the different approach as well. Please provide more info.

Consider this scenarion.

There are three DCT - A , B

DCR A includes the name of B - , now depending upon certain values in A, B is prepopulated with a some default fields/values.

Now i need to pass the values of A to B so that depending upon those values the default fields/values of B can be decided.

Are you planning to edit DCR B by a user, or just want to update DCR B?
Are you are calling DCR B from a call-out in DCR A ?
If no, then how are you calling/editing DCR B ?

Yes - DCR B will be updated by a user,

And after saving DCR A a workflow will be triggered which will allow user to edit DCR B. ( At this place i want information from A to reach DCR B ) so that the default fields/values can be show/edited.

As per my suggestion, OnSave of DCT A, initiate a callserver script (CGI/Perl File) which reads the values being saved in DCT A and prepopulates a new DCR B, saving the file with desired External Attibutes on the file.

If you want to update some fields in the DCR B from the values of DCR A, this can be done through callServer, else, if you want some user interaction in updating DCR B, while onSave of DCR A, then you can proceed through a workflow.
Or, the other way would be use a cgi-callout, that will allow the user to edit DCR B, and control show/edit from values of DCR A.

thanks pawan,

ya currently we are planning to use workflow fo this, but we are thinking where to store the values ?? that is -

when we are on DCR B how do we know we came from DCR A. I mean we need to know the parent DCR that initiated the action.

You can set workflow variables on instantiate, or save the DCR A field values into a file, and fetch values from that file in your workflow.

First, plan all what you want and how to achieve that, then proceed for coding, else you may get stuck in the middle.

When you populate DCR B from DCR A, set an extended attribute on DCR B through which your code will know the parent DCR.

When user edits DCR B, read the value and use the same as per your requirement.
