Launch app with URL parm to preload filter on a grid

[paultherrien]

We are on Valence 6.1.20220316.0

I am attempting to use an app variable in App1 to pass to App2 via behaviors.
The idea is to pass a value from App1 to App2 that can be used to preload a filter in the grid in App2 and have the grid automatically filtered at startup.

From App1 using ‘Launch App/URL’ and an App Parameter: Parameter Name SourceSystem value is set from app variable ParmSourceSystem

In App 2 I have specified an app variable aSourceSystem and specified ‘Pull from URL Parameter’ SourceSystem.
I had assumed that the App Parameter from App1 would be available to App2 as a URL Parameter.
I then have a grid widget in App2 with a filter. In the grid widget I specified in ‘Link To App Variables’: Set Filters: F1_G10SRCSYS <= aSourceSystem.
My idea was to have the grid in App2 filtered by the source system using the above specifications.
Doesn’t appear that this works as I had hoped.

Is what I am attempting doable using these specifications?

thx

We will attempt to create an example on our end to see if we can replicate your results.

[sean.lanktree]

We just tried this and it is working for us. Are you not seeing the value defaulted in your user filter field? Are your user filters in the toolbar or are you using another method?

[paultherrien]

No, I am not seeing the value default in the filter.
I am using the toolbar filter in the grid widget.

[sean.lanktree]

Are you certain that your app variable "ParmSourceSystem" has a value when you launch App 2? When you launch App 2, bring up your network tools (be sure to select "All" traffic) and see what the value of the URL is to launch App 2.

[paultherrien]

I am not certain which is the actual launch instruction, but i see this line:

And I see this line on a vvcall.pgm entry:

SourceSystem=OMS
OMS is the expected value for the SourceSystem parm.

[paultherrien]

Sorry. that post didn't post so well.

mbimint.mbi-inc.com:7064/build/production/Runner/index.html?app=1245&lang=en&sid=S28EMBRQPNTHPTCHV7 7W7BUDOEHJHSK9WIRXHCHQ0YMLNJJV1DKHNE187NKGE1QP&env =1002&key=16479860454823592&theme=default&SourceSy stem=OMS

Something rather strange is happening in here with &SourceSy stem=OMS.
Not sure if it is just a cut and past issue or what?

[sean.lanktree]

Does the URL actually have a space after "SourceSy"?

[sean.lanktree]

Copy your URL into a new tab on your browser (be sure there is no space after "SourceSy"). Does it work then?

[paultherrien]

I copied the link to the address bar in a new tab and my Catalog search app came up, but the filter field is loaded with the default value instead of the SourceSystem value:

Would it be helpful to see the datasource call?

There had been an issue early on in the installation of the latest 6.1 release where I had tried to set a default value in the filter field G10SRCSYS and this kept failing in NAB. So I removed the default filter value... but it appears that there is a vestigial instruction stuck in there somehow?

[paultherrien]

Once more - this time I made sure the grid app had no default filter value for G10SRCSYS.

Here is the data source call

In case it's not clear. The filter value is sill not getting set.

Thx.
