reloadPreviewPanelXXX(args)

where XXX is the previewidentifier (CON12) - reload the content of thepreview panel

var args = new Object();
args['INPUT_PARAM'] = 'EXAMPLE';

reloadPreviewPanel603(args);

reloadChartPanel(panelId, args)

where panelId is the previewidentifier (CON12) - reload the content of thepreview panel

var args = new Object();
args['INPUT_PARAM'] = 'EXAMPLE';

reloadPreviewPanel603(args);

Note that you won't find the args in the server side VO (since the server call is made through a GET request, hence no request body is present). You can find the arguments as parameters in the reqHeaders.referer.

For simplicity, here is a snippet to copy the parameters in the VO.

//Splits the ? and only considers the parameters (after ?)
var tmp = reqHeaders.referer.split('?')[1];

//Splits the & to separate all the parameters, then cycles the array and separates the name from the value
tmp = tmp.split("&").map(function(tmp){ return tmp.split("=")});

//Cycles the parameters and pushes each value inside the vo, under the same name
for(var i = 0; i < tmp.length; i++){
    vo[tmp[i][0]] = tmp[i][1];
}
