Can i use session variable VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.USER) in write back report?

Hi All,
I have created a write back report and successfully inserted records into a table.
Now i want to capture the user who has inserted in to the table.
Till now i have given edit option to the users on USERNAME column.
But now i want to capture the user automatically.
when i user VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.USER), i can capture the Logged in user in USERNAME col and the moment i execute the report it is throwing an error.
What i observed is....
In the advanced tab USERNAME col is changed to VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.USER).
is there any workaround for this?
Thanks

>>I have a session variable assigned to the ID#(auto
number in access db) of messages posted.
I not sure if I follow your in the description. I would
assign the Record ID to the session variable.
Place the Record id in the repeat region.
Then you could assign that record id to a session variable
when the button is click, capture the button click event. Then
redirect to the EMPLOYEEMessageDELETE1.asp page, which will read in
the session variable (record id) to be deleted.

Can we use session variables in BI publisher's Data Model SQL Query?

Hi Experts,
We need to implement Data level security in BI Publisher 11g.
In OBIEE we do so by using session variables, so just wanted to ask if we can use the same session variables in BI Publisher as well
ie can we include the where clause in the Data Models SQL Query like
Where ORG_ID = @{biServer.variables['NQ_SESSION.INV_ORG']}
Let me know your views on this.
PS: We are implementing EBS r12 security in BI Publisher.
Thanks

Oracle 10g - can I use a variable to identifywhat user's tablesto access?

I have the following code in a trigger (PL/Sql block) of a form:
select fieldname into myvar from user1.sometable;
is there a way to use a variable instead of hard coding 'user1'? And on the same topic, could this variable be declared globally?
Thanks in advance,
Darren

Hi again!
i've forgot something!
You are able to switch to another schema. If you are another user than user1, try:
alter session set current_schema = user1;after this there is no need to use synonyms or tableowners in front of the tablename in your sql-statements.
May you use this in a when-new-form-instance trigger in your first form like:
forms_ddl ( 'alter session set current_schema = ' || :parameter.your_schema );Regards

Using Session Variables for User Login - sometimes they don't persist... what am I doing wrong?

Hi all,
I'm running a site that requires user login. I approached the building of this site as almost a complete newb to CF (and dynamic coding in general), and it's been a great learing experience (with lots of help from you guys).
However, I guess I never learned the correct way to handle a user login. It seemed to me that I could just test the user-entered credentials against those stored in a database, then set a session variable containg that user's record number. Then, not only would I have an easy way of knowing who this user was and therefore what info to serve him, but I could test for the existence of a valid login on every page in the protected folder, by adding this code to my application.cfc in that folder:
<cfset This.Sessionmanagement=true>
<cfset This.Sessiontimeout="#createtimespan(0,8,0,0)#">
   <cfif NOT isDefined ("session.username") or NOT isDefined ("session.password") or NOT isDefined ("session.storeID")>
     <cflocation url="../index.cfm" addtoken="no">
   </cfif>
...and it goes on to run a query and verify that the session.username and session.password match for the store defined by session.storeID. If not, all session variables are cleared and it bounces you back to the login page. When the user clicks Logout, all I do is delete all the session variables.
This seemed to work great for like a year, but lately I've been getting reports that the login doesn't seem to persist for longer than approx. 20 minutes of inactivity. You can see I specified session variables to remain active for 8 hours (I know that seems like a drastically long login, but it's what's necessary for this application). I've only gotten this report from a few people, and I myself can't seem to duplicate it... I've tested an inactive login for 45 minutes now and it held.
SO: any reason you can think of why session variables would be spontaneously clearing for some people? Would having your router reset its IP address invalidate the session or something? Also, the problem seemed to begin appearing after my host upgraded all their servers to CF9... could there be any relation?
And on a more general note... did I go about this completely the wrong way to begin with? If so, what's the standard way to manage a login?
Lots of questions, I know... thanks very much for any answers or suggestions!
Joe

Ian,
Thanks very much - very helpful information.
Sounds like passing the tokens in every request is probably the way to go for this. I don't think it's likely that any users will be sharing links, unless they actually intend for the recipient to see their info anyway.
Is that all I would have to do, is add the tokens to every path? Would that guarantee that all the session variables would remain valid until timeout or being cleared?
Again, thanks, you've been really helpful.
Joe

Unfortunately this is the nature of HTTP web applications. There is NO state maintained from HTTP request to request. This is by design in the HTTP protocol specifications.
ColdFusion provides two methods to circumvent this limitation. Each method has limitations and caveats. They both rely on the passing of tokens between the client and the server with every request. These tokens can be passed as cookies OR URL (GET) variables. You are using the cookie method, which is the simpler and most common. You may be experiencing the limitation of this method. If something happens to the cookies the session can be lost.
You could pass the (CFID & CFTOKEN) OR JESSIONID tokens through the URL query string with every request. This requires one to add these values to every link, form action, cflocation or other request path in our application. ColdFusion provides the session.urltoken variable to make this easier to do. The tokens will be visible to the user. Also if the links with an individual token is share with other users, via e-mail, chat, social networks, etc and one of these users utilize the link during the life of a session (8 hours apparently in your case). Then that user will access the session of the original user.
Cookie session management is by far the most common choice by CF developers. If these methods do not meet your needs you would need to go beyond the HTTP limitations of web applications. One might be able to accomplish this with a Flex|Air|Flash applications that can be configured to use a continuous connection to the server. Thus not suffer the stateless nature of the normal HTTP request-response cycle.
I do not know if a router resetting would cause cookies to be discarded or otherwise invalidated. But I would not think it is beyond the relm of possibilities.

Use Session Variable with row-wise initialization

Hello,
I use an initialization block in order to load some translations in my repository (version is 11.1.1.6.BP1) :
SQL :
SELECT CODE_KEY, STRING_VALUE FROM "TABLES" WHERE LANGUAGE_KEY= 'VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.USERLOCALE)'
Values :
CN_INCOMING, Incoming, en
CN_OUTGOING, Outgoing, en
CN_INCOMING, Réception, fr
CN_OUTGOING, Emission, fr
etc ...
I checked the row-wise intialization.
The query is correct and returns the right values (I check in the log file ..).
So far, So good.
But when I want to use session variables in a column expression (in repository) like :
CASE WHEN "column"="xx" THEN VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."CN_INCOMING") ELSE VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."CN_OUTGOING") END
I got the error: [nQSError: 23006] The session variable, NQ_SESSION.CN_OUTGOING, has no value definition.
If I used the same formula directly in Answers it's working correctly.
Do I have to necessarily do this in answers or is there a way to do this in the repository.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Benjamin

Yes I already tested this point, when I don't use a row wise initialization it's working, but I don't want to create one variable for each translations that I need to use in column formula if you know what I mean.
I don't understand why we can't use this kind of variable in this context ..but if I have to create the column in my analysis, I will do that, but it's not really user friendly
Anyway thanks for your time.

Using Session Variable in the Column Level Security

My Question -
1. I created an initialization block with initialization string by calling a new session variable CTP_ID_LIST in the sql command, given appropriate database connections and when I exit out of Block, and chosen Row-wise initialization. I do not see a new session variable created under variables list. Why does this happen? Please help me on this.

Hi,
This happens when you select Row-wise Initialization.
The row-wise initialization feature allows you to create session variables dynamically and set their values when a session begins. The names and values of the session variables reside in an external database that you access through a connection pool. The variables receive their values from the initialization string that you type in the Initialization Block dialog box.
You can also use the row-wise initialization feature to initialize a variable with a list of values. You can then use the SQL IN operator to test for values in a specified list.
Example: Using the table values in the previous example, you would type the following SQL statement for the initialization string:
select 'LIST_OF_USERS', USERID
from RW_SESSION_VARS
where NAME='STATUS' and VALUE='FULL-TIME'
This SQL statement populates the variable LIST_OF_USERS with a list, separated by colons, of the values JOHN and JANE; for example, JOHN:JANE. You can then use this variable in a filter, as shown in the following WHERE clause:
where TABLE.USER_NAME = valueof(NQ_SESSION.LIST_OF_USERS)
The variable LIST_OF_USERS contains a list of values, that is, one or more values. This logical WHERE clause expands into a physical IN clause, as shown in the following statement:
where TABLE.USER_NAME in ('JOHN', 'JANE')

How to use session variable in JSP function & How to use both JSP Servlet

Hi,
I am new to JSP and servlets
Still I am devloping a website in JSP. I am not mixing JSP with servlets, but I do create Java files for bean, logic and database works.
I try to keep the hard coding part out of JSP.
I dont how to use both JSP and Servlets in combination.
Hence If needed I write some functions in JSP.
but it gives me error

int intUserId = Integer.valueOf((Integer) session.getAttribute("MySession_UserID"));
+}+
+%>+
Saying cannot find symbol session
1) So can u please tell how can I access session variables within JSP function
2) And also give me some links/tutorials about useing both JSP and Servlets in combination.
Thanks

Page Specific Persistence using Session Variables

Hi, I have read a lot about using session variables to persist the ReportDocument object across page loads. This works fine if you have just one page open with one report. The problem I am having is I have a web application that makes 30 or 40 different reports available to the user. To simplify the code and make it easier to add new reports I have developed a single template aspx page that can be used to view any of the reports.
My problem is that if the user opens 2 different reports in 2 separate tabs in the browser then the session variable persistence doesn't work because the session variable is available to both tabs.
Is there a way to persist the ReportDocument object which is 'page' specific.
Thanks

Your best option is likely to have something that makes the session variable names unique. I've done such things as putting the current datetime in the url as a querystring parameter and appending that to the variable name. On each postback that querystring should persist.
You might be able to use the reportclientdocument object and serialize the report and persist through view state, haven't tried this with inproc ras though. A sample that uses the ras sdk can be found [here|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/NETRASSDK+Samples]

Dates Format in Promts using Session Variables

Hi Experts,
I have an issue in controlling date format in prompts using session variable which I am using to set default value.
By default date format is timestamp E.g '2010-12-19 12:00:00 AM'.
As per requriement(s) I customized the date format in Reports as 19-Dec-2010 and I saved it as "System Wide Default for <Date Column Name> "
So, I got desired format in Reports and Date Prompts.
Now, I need to set a default value in Date Prompt. So, in RPD I created a Session Variable which returned me date in
DD-MON-YYYY format. Using follwing SQL :
SELECT REPLACE(CONVERT(VARCHAR(11), Getdate (), 106), ' ', '-') AS [DD-Mon-YYYY]
But in reports takes this value as string and not Datetime. So i got an error message.
A datetime value was expected (received "19-Dec-2010").
If i do not use above SQL to CONVERT date then default date in prompt get displayed as timestamp format and give me desired results but Formatting looks very odd in prompt
Is this a way so I can persist the [DD-Mon-YYYY] Formatting for default value which comes using variable and still run the report.
Above problem also exist vice versa that is if i SET that session variable and pass the datetime value to server. But there i guess I can use ToDate or some Casting in RPD column expression to handle that. Tell me if i am right ?
Thanks
Saurabh

That almost works. I had to adjust the syntax to the following...and then there are other issues doing this.
select cust_no, name,'@{session.currentUser}' from customersMy write-back SQL is this:
UPDATE customers SET NAME='@{c1}',LAST_EDITED_BY='@{c2}' WHERE CUST_NO=@{c0}But I don't want to display the cust_no column to the user. So I hide it in the UI. But if I do that I get the below error during write-back. Apparently sometimes when you hide a column on a direct query (numeric maybe?) the value doesn't transfer over to the write-back. If that's the case, this won't work for me. Hmm...

How can i use session to save properties?

How can i use session to save properties?

Hi,
Session Tracking is one of the most powerful features of Servlets and JSP. Basically, the servlet engine takes care of using Cookies in the right way to preserve state across successive requests by the same user. Your servlet just needs to call a single method (getSession) and it has access to a persistent hashtable of data that's unique to the current user.
Otherwise Visit Servlet Essentials tutorial

Can we use Substitution variables in MAXL?

Hi,
Can we use substitution variables in MAXL script?
I have to run this MAXL command for clearing a slice of ASO cube on V11.1.1.3.
alter database Apname.DBname clear data in region 'CrossJoin({[2009]},{[Dec]})';
I am planning to use Current_year & Current_month variables instead of hardcoding 2009 & Dec as I have to use this everymonth to clear the current months data.
If it is allowed, what is the syntax?
Is there any alternative apart from substitution variables?
Appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks,
-Ethan.

You would just use ampersand and the variable name instead of the hard coding e.g. &yearVar &periodVar.
Not tried it on aso clears but in theory it should work as ...'CrossJoin({&yearVar},{&periodVar})';
just change yearVar and periodVar for your substitution variable names.
Cheers

However within OAF on the application it doesn't.
what doesnt work, do you get errors or nothing ?XX_TOP is defined in adovars.env only. Anywhere else this has to go?
No, it is read from the adovars.env file only.Thanks
