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

How can I change my Shared Variable from "I/O Variable" to "Network Published"

Hello,
I have an application that is using a series of NI wireless sensor nodes. I am trying to programmatically access shared variables. Right now the only method I have found to access the data from the shared variables is datasocket read. I am on labview 8.6.1 so I don't have as many shared variable options as newer versions of labview. I do think there is a way to access properties for the shared variables, but I'm not sure about how to change the nodes channel properties to "Network-Published". Do i need to remove the node from the project and bring it back in with the new settings? When i have done this in the past i have run into naming conflicts. I would appreciate any ligtht that can be shed on this issue that will help me create a vi that operates quicker.

Any Shared Variable that has “I/O Variable” for its Variable Type (see screenshot of the Shared Variable Properties below) refers to any channel of data (such as Analog Input or Output or Digital Input or Output) directly from a module channel. In other words, this is how you directly get the raw reading straight from (or to!) a specific module channel.
You cannot edit the Variable Type to Network Published. You can check “Enable Network Publishing” as above, which allows this Variable to be accessed from a VI on a Host VI. You could also create a separate Network-Published Shared Variable which you can wire directly to the I/O Variable on the Target VI if you wish.

Creating variables in Report Painter

Hi ...
I would like to know ... how do I create variable ? I know it is via T CODE GS11, but when run tht, in the next screen it pops up for variable ? What variable do I need to enter ? is this predelivered Eg : CE-PK, or can we create one ? Please advise
Also, I would like to I have a requirement for a report whereby the format is like this .....
SALES CURR MONTH (06/2006) LAST YEAR
- Sales IT
- Sales 1
- Sales 2
COGS
- cogs 1
- cogs 2
- cogs 3
COS
- cos 1
- cos 2
- cos 3
GROSS PROFIT
Whereby, SALES = sales it + sales 1 + sales 2, COGS = cogs 1+cogs 2 + cogs 3, COS = cos 1+ cos 2+ cos 3. also GROSS PROFIT = SALES + COGS + COS
The abpve report is inclusive of Cost Centre and Profit Centre, how acn I utilize the libraray in Report Pianter to create such report, is this possible in Report Painter whereby including Cost center and Profit Centre in one single report
Pls assist me
Nathan

When you create your variable first enter the variable name. Second enter the reporting "table" to use. Third enter the "field'. Press enter. Next enter a default value for your field. Save you variable. It is now ready to use in your report painter.
Using the PCA reporting tables gives you the profit center but not the cost center. You can only use one reporting table per report. you will need a cctr report for that.
First create your own libray from GLPCT. Next create your report using your new library. The report painter can do the calculations that you have shown.
You create a formula in the row or column to calculate your sub totals.
pls assign points if helpful as a way to say thanks.

How to create variable in BEx on a Nav Attribute?

Hi All,
We are creating a report on Master data object 0MILESTONE. 0PROJECT is the navigational attribute of 0milestone.
and ZSTATUS is the navigational attribute of 0PROJECT.
Requirement is to create variable on ZSTATUS in BEx. How do I do that? I dont see option of creating variable on Nav attribute of a Nav attribute.
Regards,
Bob

Hi,
There is nothing as such creating variable for navigation attribute. You can only create variable directly on particular infoobject.
In your case you are using transitivie attributes. So they can not be accesed directly in BEX query. You can only use 1st level nagivation attributes in bex query.

How to create variables in payroll rules

Hi Experts,
Can you please let me know how to create variables in payroll rules and how to assign values to them.
Please share some documentation on this topic.
Thanks so much,
Uttama

Hi Vijay,
Variables can be created for -
Char Values
Texts
Formula elements
hierarchy and its nodes
For Characteristic Values -
These are used to be filled by user in the query selection screen
1.In the filter tab of QD, select the characteristic for which you want to create a variable,right click - >Restrict
2.Select variabes from drop down
3.Click Create new variable and then define its properties like "Processing By",Settings in Details tab etc and save it
4.Move it to the right side and click ok
Now you have created a variable and used it as a placeholder for that characteristic for which user can enter the value to act as dyanmic entry.

How to bind data from script created variable to embed element of XML schema (xsd) in "Data View"

Hi, i have got another problem with livecycle designer scripting.
I have got script line which is defining of string variable:
var aaa = "this is my string";
and i have got embed XML schema like this (it`s only short part of whole file):
... xs:element name="bbb" type="xs:string"/ ...
After saving data to XML i would like to get "this is my string" as a value of my "bbb" XML element.
To save this data i`m using submit button which is connect with submit.php file on my server.
How to connect script created variable and embed XML schema element which is present on my "Data View" tab.
Please help me a bit becouse i don`t know even where to search answer of it...
Of course i know possibilities to create fake unvisible text field object and bind it with 'bbb' and than put "this.rawValue = aaa" to connect those two variables but i think that is not a good idea to solve it in that way. It`s too primitive

i solve it, i should write this:
xfa.datasets.data.bbb.value = aaa;

How to create variables at runtime

Hi,
I need to know how can i create variables at runtime.
or is their anything like array that we create in 'C' if yes . how can i define its size at runtime.
Thanks,
Dev.

In forms, either record groups or pl/sql tables of records give similar functionality to an array. You have full programatic control of either but with completely different syntax. Record groups integrate well with certain forms built-ins and features (eg LOVs and Tree items). PL/sql tables integrate well with other pl/sql such as stored procedures. Unlike an array, a pl/sql table may be SPARSE (index numbers need not be sequential), and UNBOUNDED (no need to declare the number of rows).

Please post code within code tags (press the "code" button).
Why are you using an inner class? Simplify:
public class OSC implements ActionListener {
button1.addActionListener( this );
public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e ) {
    if ( e.getSource() == button1 ) . . .

Creating variables in BO using BO SDK

We can create variables which can be formulas applied on objects using infoview.
Is there any way, these variables can be created using java BO SDK?
Please paste some sample code for us.
Cheers,

     oReportAppFactory = (IReportAppFactory)es.getService("", "RASReportService");
     oReportClientDocument = oReportAppFactory.openDocument((IInfoObject)oInfoObjects.get(0), 0, java.util.Locale.ENGLISH);
     // First create the formula field
     FormulaField newFormulaField = new FormulaField();
     // Set the parameters (assume it's a string and Crystal Syntax)

Creating variables in Process Flows and using thse variables in the filter

Hi,
I am new to OWB and in learing stage. Need to information.
*1. as to how pass/create/use variables to OWB mapping ?*
*2. Creating variables in Process Flows and using thse variables in the filter operator of the OWB mapping?*
*3. Other mechanisms of how to create/use variables within OWB mapping itself ?*
can you please provide the above details and guide me / help me in this regard.
Thanks,
skms.

1. Add parameters to your mapping using the MAPPING INPUT PARAMETER from the pallette.
2. Add parameters to the START operator in the process flow. Bind the process flow parameter to the Mapping parameter.
3. May be appropriate to use CONSTANTS instead of parameters.
Regards
Si
