Editing prompts in Equation Engine - peoplesoft

I Have this equation engine that when you use in one run control page and fill out the edit prompts, it does pull a result but when you use it on another run control page it does not pull anything.
I don't get it, same Equation Engine and same values provided in the prompts but the other run control page does not provide a results when you click the 'Preview Selection Results'.
I have screenshot below for your reference. Please help!

Check the security.

Create record via client script in a relation model in App Maker

Could someone point me to documentation that shows how to create a record in a model with one to many relation via client side script.
Thanks in advance!
There are two ways of creating a new record.
1. Via a client-side script
You can do this by calling a createItem function from a widget. This link might help with that.
2. Via a server-side script
You can do this by directly creating a new record, assigning it to the relation of a model and then saving that model. This link might help with this method. By the way, it's easier to do this in a server-side script, as the guide itself says.
Since you just requested the link to official documentation, I've limited my answer to links only. Please feel free to ask if you need clarifications!

SAP Interactive Form archiving

We want to develop an Interactive Form, which should be edited by the user who "created it" via SAP. After the user finished the editing he will be able the choose between two alternatives. On the one hand he will be able to save the final form back to SAP for archiving and on the other hand he can send the form directly via mail.
Question:
How would you solve the problem of this scenario (an interactive form which should be archived in SAP)? What's the best practice for this kind of task and are there any alternatives?
Constraint:
We want to use Smartform texts or footer and header content. Do you think thats the right way?
Thank you all for your advises!

Web scraping Oracle (ATG) Commerce

I am new to web scraping, and I use the following tool and method to scrap:
I use R (with packages Curl, XML, etc) to read the web pages (with a url link), and htmlTreeParse function to parse the html page.
Then in order to know get the data I want, I first use the developer tool i Chrome to insepct the code.
When I know in which node the data are, I use xpathApply to get them.
Usually, it works well. But I had an issue with this site: http://www.sephora.fr/Parfum/Parfum-Femme/C309/2
When you click on the link, you will load the page, and in fact it is the page 1 (of the products).
You have to load the url again (by entering a second time the url), in order to get the page 2.
When I use the usual process to read the data. The htmlTreeParse function always gives me the page1.
I tried to understand more this web site:
It seems that it is built with Oracle commerce (ATG commerce).
The "real" url is hidden, and when you click on the filter (for instance, you select a brand), you will get url with requestid: http://www.sephora.fr/Parfum/Parfum-Femme/C309?_requestid=285099
This doesn't help to know which selection I made.
Could you please help:
How can I access to more products ?
Thank you
I found the solution: selenium ! I think that it is the ultimate tool for web scraping. I posted several questions concerning web scraping, now with rselenium, almost everything is possible.

How to enter mathematics equations in asp.net and save equation to SQL Server for my online test

I want to take math equations from user interface like a textbox and save them to SQL Server.
Is there any possible way please suggest me. I found like creating images but it not possible for my project which needs to create lot and user did not have that much of knowledge in creating images and me too.
Please help me like binding virtual keyboard to textbox or other possible ways

I'd take a look at MathML if I were you. It would require a custom control to allow the user to enter the data. Unfortunately the .Net editor appears to no longer be available but you could resort to a Flash-based one such as fmath Editor.
Why can't you save it in a nvarchar field?
Assuming you are allowing text input then save it as this base form?
I've published a JavaScript library that you can use to create a virtual math keyboard. It is intended for use together with any LaTeX typesetting library (for example MathJax or KaTeX).
GitHub repository: https://github.com/MathKeyboardEngine/MathKeyboardEngine
Live examples: https://mathkeyboardengine.github.io
I see that you want to store the user's input in a database. Call getViewModeLatex to get the user's input as a LaTeX string (for example \frac{x}{1-x}) that you can store.

Crystal Report Best Practice Question

I have got a task regarding parameter passing to Crystal Report via Crystal Report, I would like to find best way to achieve it.
Imagine that I have got parameterized and non reports-parameterized. I am developing a report manager that will enable users to subscribe to the reports and schedule them with their parameters. I have got a subscription web page with the list of reports. When a user wants to subscribe to a report and schedule it, if there is no parameter in the report, it is fine but if there is any parameter that needs to be passed to the report(which we can find from rpt file), user should be able to enter these parameters values via a panel in the page. and I will save those parameters' values to the database.
Effectively, I need to create a parameter entry panel to get the parameters and save them to the database with their type, value and so on, then I need to use these parameters programmatically for exporting reports to the different file formats.
Basically, I must develop parameter entry panel run time in accordance with the parameter types that the corresponding report has.
Does anyone have any idea what the best way is to achieve it?
Thanks for your help from now on and please ask for further clarification if needed/
Kind Regards.
You could use BusinessObjects Enterprise, but that will be expensive.
Otherwise, you will need to build your own parameter control. The control would interrogate the report, determine what types of parameters that it contains, then build the control's UI accordingly. It would need to maintain state between post-backs, capture and display the default values and current values collection for each parameter.
I started building such a control a few years back, but never completed it. It's quite a bit of work as you might guess.
In a comment on you're question you asked what would be suggested instead of Crystal Reports so I figured I'd offer up SSRS. If you are using SQL Server, I'd recommend that you look into using SQL Server Reporting Services. Though I believe that Crystal Reports are more robust (possibly just because I know them better), I believe that a lot of the subscription, scheduling, and parameter handing is ready to go after the initial configuration.
I'm not an expert on SSRS so maybe someone with more knowledge will edit my answer with more specific details. Hope this helps.
You can open each report as a ReportDocument object, then enumerate through the ParameterFields collection to evaluate the names, types and other info on each. With that info you can generate your parameter entry panel.
