  • 1.  How to pass inputs as parameters in Oracle queries using Database operators in ITPAM

    Posted Oct 10, 2016 02:48 AM

    Hi All,

     

    I want to know how I can pass values as parameters  in Oracle queries using database operators in ITPAM. I have tried '?' to pass the value in inline text and defining the input in parameter set but it doesn't work I guess for oracle.

    I tried to use the expression set to pass the value but it is also failing (error: invalid SQL statement).

    For e.g. create user test identified by testpaswrd

     

    Now, I want to pass the username 'test' and password for that user 'testpaswrd' dynamically as parameters.

    If someone has done it, please share your thoughts.

     

    Thanks,

    Vidit Goel

    Vidit,

     

    In MS SQL the '?' needs to be wrapped in '()', I don't have anyway to test Oracle syntax but there's the MS syntax for what it's worth.

    Hi Elwynn,

     

    I tried using the '?' with '()' but still the issue remains.

    If you have any other information regarding the issue, do share.

    Vidit,

     

    Here's another way I used to use to pass variables into where clauses in the expression field (rather than inline text) but now that I figured out how to use input parameters I prefer them because they're easier to debug and get working.

     

    The way this method works is double quotes surrounding single quotes then the + to concatenate the string. MS SQL wants it's strings quoted with single quotes so they are on the inside next to the + Here again the syntax is for MS SQL and you'll need to adapt it to Oracle but it's a second possibility.

    resource_name = '"+Process.ComputerName+"'

     

     

    I've also written PowerShell and used the input parameters to pass in values there as well. In PS you begin by declaring the parameter at the top of the script,using the PS syntax of $var_name, and then within the script you reference the variable simply as $var_name without using any quotation marks, parentheses, etc

     

    PS declaration:

    param([string]$var1, $var2, $var3,)

     

    PS use:

    Get-ChildItem -Path $var1 ......

     

    Good luck

    Lenn,

     

    I am testing this solution at my end. There are issues in PAM currently. I will update on this asap once the solution is being tested.
