Cannot get session variables

Hello to all.
I am developing a shopping cart application in which I use to store some session variables in session object.
The problem arise when I integrate paypal with my application.
I use following code to redirect to the paypal's site
baseURL="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_express-checkout&token="+ack+"&ITEM_NAME="+itmName+"&ITEM_NUMBER="+itnSrNo+"&ITEM_AMT="+paymentAmount;
response.sendRedirect(baseURL);When I return from the paypal's site my all session variables are nulled.
I read somewhere that "response.sendRedirect()" method kills the session.
So, please somebody suggest me the alternatives of this method so that I cannot lose my session.
Thank You

It is not true. response.sendRedirect() don't kills session at all.

Side effect of this is when you come back to your webapp, session which you left behind before moving to PayPal got expired and you are dealing with new session now.
Increasing session timeout configuration in web.xml might help you. You can also cross check session status by method session.isNew() when you return from PayPal.+Thanks a lot.
You are write my session might expires after returning from the paypals site and I used setMaxInactiveInterval and its working
Thanks again.

Function to get session variable is not working

I created a report based on the following sql query:
SELECT EMPNO, ENAME, JOB, MGR, HIREDATE, SAL, COMM, DEPTNO FROM SCOTT.EMP
WHERE DEPTNO = empcust.current_deptno
empcust.current_deptno is a function which returns the value of the session variable. However, nothing gets returned. The value of the session variable is not found.
I know that the session variable is being set b/c i have a procedure that sets it and prints out the assigned.
This is my code for the current_deptno function. If anyone can help, i'd greatly appreciate it!
procedure current_deptno
return VARCHAR2
as
v_Session portal.wwsto_api_session;
v_Return VARCHAR2(20); --DEPT.DEPTNO%TYPE;
begin
v_Session := portal.wwsto_api_session.load_session('PORTAL','SESS_EMP');
v_Return := v_Session.get_attribute_as_varchar2('DEPTNO');
htp.p('Return session var'||v_Return);
RETURN(v_Return);
end;

Hi Imtiaz,
Could you verify that the variable has indeed a value? You could check via the Session Manager in the Admin Tool. You could also check the Query Log to verify whether the Initialization Block is working like expected.
Thanks.

How to get session variable value in conditional formatting

I am trying to format my column according to value of a session variable. Normally when comparing to a static value I select value from add button and write the value. What I want is to be able to do this using a session variable. I select variable presentation and as the variable expression I tried MYDAY, NQ_SESSION.MYDAY, VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.MYDAY), VALUEOF(MYDAY) but nothing works. By the way it is a date value, I don't know it makes any difference
Any help would be appriciated

I am surprised that it is not possible to select a session variable when you want to use conditional formatting. Apparently you can only base conditional formatting on presentation variable or values within a column.
As a workaround you can create an extra column in your request and use a CASE WHEN statement, where you compare the value of the date with the session variable. Then you can base your conditional formatting on that column.

Stijn

Imexpire cannot get session lock when run with scheduler

When imexpire runs at the scheduled time, it produces:
[15/Nov/2007:22:01:00 -0800] vmpm1 imexpire[7946]: General Error: Could not get expire session lock. Possibly another imexpire is running
I found an imexpire.lck file and deleted it, but got the same error the next day. Next, I restarted messaging, then ran imexpire interactively with no problems. The imexpire.lck file remained and was not removed afterward. Our imexpire policy was migrated from ims5.2 and is housed in configutil. Can you give me any suggestions for how to allow imexpire to run correctly via the scheduler?

Do you have coreadm enabled on your system and if so has any messaging server processes core dumped since you last restart messaging server?
I found an imexpire.lck file and deleted it, but got the same error the next day. The imexpire.lck file is supposed to be there. Processes obtain a file-level lock on this file. If you run fuser /opt/SUNWmsgsr/config/imexpire.lck does it return a value?

Has it been working since you restarted messaging server i.e. do you see something like the following in your /opt/SUNWmsgsr/log/default log?:

Cannot Get Text Variable to Read Metadata

Hi,
I am having an issue loading XMP Metadata into a text variable. I have tried the following procedure on two computers and no result (Windows 7, InDesign 5.0 and 5.5)
Here is the basic procedure:
1. Create a new InDesign Document.
2. Navigate to FILE > FILE INFO
3. When the XMP data appears, place the word "Test", “Test1”, “Test 2”, and “Test 3” in the Document Title, Author, Author Title, and Description fields and push OK. See Screenshot.
4. Make a text box.
5. Place the text insert cursor in the text box then go to the menu and open TYPE> TEXT VARIABLES > DEFINE.
6. Once the dialog box opens, select NEW...
7. Name the New Text Variable "Author" and select "METADATA CAPTION" for TYPE: and "AUTHOR" for METADATA: then push OK.
8. Press the INSERT button to place the new "Author" text variable into the text box.
Every time I get a <no intersecting link> indication. Can someone help me figure out what I’m doing wrong here?

Thanks Steve, you are right on. Was hoping that the Metadata information could be absorbed into the file somehow like you can do in MS Word with the document properties for Title, Date, Revision ect. I now will change my plans and I will put the document information on the Title Page and cross-link it to my headers and footers.
Thanks for the help.

Session variable getting reset when leaving dashboard

I have created a session variable with the 'Enable any user to set the value' option. I'm using the session variable as the default for a dashboard prompt. I'm able to set the variable with that dasboard prompt, and I can confirm that it is indeed getting set properly. So the interaction of the variable and the prompt seems to be in order.
After I make a selection from the dashboard prompt, as long as I stay in the dashboard, the session variable stays set to my selection. I can move from page to page and everything is fine. The selection stays put as I have set it. However, the moment I leave the dashboard, the session variable is reinitialized back to its default value as specified by the SQL in its initialization block. I can go from dashboard to catalog and back to dashboard - boom, it's back to the default. My selection has been replaced. ???
And here's an odd thing: I can look in the query log and see the initialization block code getting run when I log in. So far, so good. I can run the dashboard, make a prompt selection, and see the query log updated just fine. Still OK. BUT... when I switch from dashboard to catalog and back to dashboard, the value of the session variable is reset (I see the default month in my analysis and as the prompt default upon redisplay of the dashboard page), but there's no indication in the query log that the initialization block SQL ran again. The last SQL in the query log still shows my "selected" value in the SQL. The dashboard page is showing the "default", while the last entry in the query log shows the "selected".
Can anyone else confirm this odd behavior? And is there a reason that a session variable should not retain its value throughout the session? I've always viewed session variables as little buckets of single-cell data whose contents are consistent and static for the duration of a session, unless manually changed by a dashboard prompt. If the behavior that I'm seeing is both replicatable and expected, it would appear that my understanding is flawed.
Running 11.1.1.7.0 on Windows Server 2008. Same behavior is occurring in both Firefox 21 and IE 9.

Thank you for your answer MK,
I try to write a SQL in my prompt but not work for me:
-In default selection I choose SQL Results and I type: Year(Current_date) and save my prompt and I don't see any value in my dashboardpage, if I click in prompt I can see all members of my year dimension but by default is empty.
I modify the other solution: I have 1hour refresh time and I change for 1 minute, but doesn't work.
the default initializer is in RPD (variable year that belongs to BI_Year Block) and I have written 2009.

Question
(OS 10.6.8 Imac)I cannot open an adobe file on wels fargo online getting Session-1.cgi could not be open unknown error etc.. on othe browsers it works (safari,Chrome)

If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

NullPointerException - Cannot get the value from variable f_cashGiven

In SubCheckout.java (a POS), what I want is when Payment button (f_cashPayment) is pressed, the action "Cash" is performed, get the value from Cash Given (f_cashGiven), do the subtraction and post the value as Cash Return (f_cashReturn). The code is filled in actionPerformed. But I cannot get the value by using f_cashGiven.getValue() from VNumber class. It returns NULL. This should be quite straight forward, but I do not know what is wrong. Please help!

If getValue() returns null, you need to trace the execution of the code and figure out which sequence of code is leading to the return of null. This method looks complex - a lot of if statements. If you do not have a debugger, put System.out.println statements inside the method to figure out what's going on.

To pass new session variable value to stored proc before running a report.

Hi,
Below is summary of the report requirement -
Database level design
1. Created a view and a global temporary table (GTT)
2. Created an Oracle package procedure to accept from and to business dates on basis of which it will fetch, process and populate the GTT.
Repository level design
1. Created a business model containing the view and the GTT (mentioned above)
2. Created two SESSION variables "from_dt" and "to_dt" to be initialized by their respective init blocks. Each of the variable is initialized with a DATE column value (of type DATETIME) from a database lookup table. I have also set the option "Enable that variable to be set by any user" for both variables.
Query for these variables :
from_dt = select from_date from <table>
to_dt = select add_months(from_date,12) from <table>
Presentation level design
1. Using a text box, i display the default/initialized values of these variables like this -
Current business date:@{biServer.variables['NQ_SESSION.from_dt']} Future business dt:@{biServer.variables['NQ_SESSION.to_dt']}
Dates get displayed in YYYY-MM-DD 00:00:00 format
The text msg displays these default dates and allows the user to specift different date range for which i create prompts as shown below.
2. Using any random two columns of date type from the business model, i create two date dashboard prompts with labels "From Dt" and "To Dt".
i select Calender Controls for both; setting Default To = Report Defaults.
The Set Variable is set to Presentation variables - such that pv_from_dt maps to "From Dt" and pv_to_dt maps to "To Dt".
3. i create the report using the business model created above. In the report "Advanced Tab" => "Prefix" field i specify the following -
SET VARIABLE from_dt='@{pv_from_dt}',to_dt='@{pv_to_dt}';
Note : The logic here is to display the default dates and allow user to specify different date values which will be stored in presentation variables.
If the user does specify different "from dt" and "to dt" values, then using the presentation variables, i want to "write" back these new values to the corresponding session variables mentioned above.
If the user does not specify different date range, then the default/initialized dates must be considered.
I also display the default and new date values in the report title.
Back to Repository level design
To execute the stored procedure that will load the GTT before running the report I need to pass two date parameters to the stored procedure on basis of which it will fetch data, process and populate the GTT.
In the Connection Pool --> Connection Script Tab --> Execute before query, I wrote the below query using the repository variables FROM_DT and TO_DT to execute the procedure -
DECLARE
v_from_dt date;
v_to_dt date;
BEGIN
v_from_dt := VALUEOF(From_Dt);
v_to_dt := VALUEOF(To_Dt);
package_name1.package_body(v_from_dt,v_to_dt);
END;
Now when i try to run the report i get the following error :
[nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 23006] The session variable, NQ_SESSION.to_dt, has no value definition. (HY000)..
Need help on this.
Is it possible to "write back" a new value to a session variable ?
Any other alternatives.
Thanks
Nusrat

Sandeep, I found a several topics where users describe saving values in DB through stored procedure or function. For example, [How to store OBIEE presentation level variable values in DB |http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=892006] I tried it and get an error
*10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 17001] Oracle Error code: 14551, message: ORA-14551: cannot perform a DML operation inside a query ORA-06512*
It's not a BI error. This error are generated by Oracle DB. If I write next:
SELECT MyPLSQLFunction(p1,p2) FROM DUAL
I get the same error.
Oracle doesn't allow DML operations in SELECT.
Did you relalize this feature yourself? Where did I mistake?

Cannot get session variables
