There have been many instances where you need to call different Version of an UBE/ Batch application based on the parameters of the application. Doing that is very easy, where in you just need to pass the Version name dynamically and the Report Name is hard coded into the ER.
But, if there arises a situation to call the Report/UBE Dynamically, you flinch a little. No worries, its as easy to do.
Following are two methods of calling ANY UBE from an Interactive Application.
*Note: You can not do Report Interconnects, or set PO Values/Data Selection dynamically
Launch Batch Application system function
Launch Batch Application system function is used only for WEB application that will launch the UBE. The system function will act like the Report Interconnect. It will launch the UBE.
Parameters
| Parameter | Description | I/O | Required | Notes |
| Report Name | String | I | Y | UBE Application ID |
| Version Name | String | I | Y | Y/N |
| Print Preview? | Character | I | Y | |
| Data Selection? | Character | I | Y | Y/N – Override the data selection |
| Data Sequencing? | Character | I | Y | Y/N – Override the data sequencing |
| Push Spec Only? | Character | I | Y | Y/N – submit version specification only |
| PO Template | String | I | Y | PO Data Structure |
| Prompt for values? | Character | I | Y | Y/N – Display the processing options dialog |
| Date Last Executed | JDEDATE | I | Y | Date |
| Data Source Override | String | I | Y | Server Name |
| JDE Log? | Character | I | Y | Y/N – Create JDE.log |
| JDEDebug Log? | Character | I | Y | Y/N – Create Jdedebug.log |
| UBE Logging Level | Integer | I | Y | Level of detail for Jdedebug.log |
| Jargon Code | String | I | Y | |
| Cover page? | Character | I | Y | Y/N – print cover page |
| Job Queue name | String | I | Y | |
| TC Prompting? | Character | I | Y | Y/N |
| Process Type | Character | I | Y |
Special Handling Instructions and Prerequisites
· Must be used in a WEB application only. Available on all events of Interactive applications
Business Functions to Launch a UBE
The Business Functions use the same JDE API – jdeLaunchUBEEx(); to launch the UBE.
B9800240 – Call UBE Application
Usage
Call UBE Application
“R55xxxxxx” -> szProgramId
“VER00001” -> szVersion
UNDEFINED X cSuppressErrorMessages
UNDEFINED X szErrorMessageID
1 -> cPrintFlag
The PrintFlag can be passed any value 1/0 depending on your choice of print immediate or not.
B91300C – Launch Batch Application
Functional Description
This function launches a UBE from ER. Unlike Report Interconnect, this launches UBEs with out Report Interconnect and returns an error status. However, Report Interconnect cannot be used.
Purpose
To be able to launch UBEs without Report Interconnect from Event Rules and be able to check the return status of that UBE.
Setup Notes and Prerequisites
If called in synchronous mode, the BSFN will return error if the UBE failed along the way (blow-ups, spec not found, etc.). In asynchronous mode, the BSFN will return error only if it failed to launch (better always to use Asynch)
If the data source override is left blank, then OCM will be used to determine where the UBE will run.
Parameters :
szReport : Report Name
szVerzsionJDE : Version Name (if you execute the batch on the enterprise server, the version must exist there. You must launch the version at least once before use this BSFN on the server)
cSynch : 1 = Synchronous, 0 or anything else is Asynchronous.
cPrintPreview : I don’t know exactly the functionality of this parameter. (1 or blank works)
szDataSourceOverride : Not required. Only if you want launch the batch on a specific server or in local mode
cJDELogging : 1 log into jde.log, 0 nothing
cTracing : 1 log into jdedebug.log, 0 nothing
cUBEloggingLevel : 1..6 Debug Level
szJobQUEUE : Name of the Queue Batch where the batch is executed. it could be blank.
The BSFN returns a Job Number and an error code.

Launch Batch Application system function:
Hi Deepesh. Hope you are well. On tools 8.97 I am having trouble with prompt for values when using the above system function. Both on Web Dev or Web proper the PO Values do not come up. Parameter is marked Y and PO template provided. Any Ideas?

Hi Deepesh
Your website always provide good solutions for many of the common problems we developers face.
I have a question for you in regards to launching UBE from an application. I need to submit UBE from application but i would not like system to show printer selection screen and i wans to pass some parameters to UBE. In order to achieve this, i created a NER BF which does the job. Unfortunately, this method is working fine on thick clients but not working from Web.
Are there any other method you can think of?
Thanks in advance for your help.
With Regards
