Display variables

If a user want to use a Repository Variable in a report filter. they have to ask me what the name of the variable is and then type it into the filter..
Is there an easy way for the users to see what variables are available for them to use..
Only thing I can think of is for me to create a report and type them in and save the report to a shared location..
Is there not any way to have the variables to display a dropdown list of what is available instead of typeing in their names..

OBIEE 11.1.1.6.2 BP1Similar question was posted few days ago, asking if the list of variables can be retrieved from the RPD in the front end, and there seem to be no possible solution for that, other than creating a table in the database to store the information and create a report out of it and make it available for the users to refer to.
Here is the thread I was talking about ( Variables )

How to set a display variable

Hi all,
we have oracle EBS 12.1.1 installed on suse linux servers in our setup. one developer is using dev tools to have some graphs displayed while generating reports. all of a sudden we find that the graphs are not getting generated.
i am told that it is because of the DISPLAY variable in Linux. I am working as a Linux admin and I am not too sure how to set it.
i went to the company's data center to get to the console of the Linux box. I logged into the GUI and ran these commands
linux-43x3:~ # echo $DISPLAY
:0.0
linux-43x3:~ # export DISPLAY=:0.0
linux-43x3:~ # xhost +
access control disabled, clients can connect from any hostsince the display was showing :0.0, there sud not v been any issue in my opinion, but still i chose to run the export DISPLAY command.
still i find the graphs do not show up. should I run the command as root or should I run it as an apps user? and further if I log out of the GUI will the graphs still work?
i dont have much experience with oracle apps. please excuse me if this question is too silly

Hi,
>but still i chose to run the export DISPLAY command.
No problem if you set DISPLAY:0.0 AGAIN
should I run the command as root or should I run it as an apps userRun as both users.
should I run the command as root or should I run it as an apps userIt'll work, Unless you reboot the whole machine.

Display Variable Values in 7.0

There was an option in BW 3.x to display variable values using technical settings -> display -> variable values. I do not see this option in 7.0!? Showing the variable values is a great way to figure out whether or not a customer exit variables are working as expected. Could someone please help me with finding this option in the BEx analyzer? Points will be assigned for useful posts? Thanks for your time.

Dear Sameer,
As I understand from your question that you want to debug whether the customer exit variable logic is workinig fine or not. For that you can set a session breakpoint for the variable exit in CMOD. Now use the transaction rsrt to run the query. This will take you to the debug mode and here you can see the variable values and whether the logic is performing as expected or not.

Prem.

As per the installation guide I set the display variable,
The "Display variable" is working for users root and sidadm. However, for orasid display variable is not working,
any idea,

All,
The issue is solved, I was using Xmanager and when I test xclock, sometimes it was working and sometimes it was not,
I suspect the issue is with vpn, but am not sure.
However, with MoboXterm it was fine without any issues.

output of echo $DISPLAY for user orasid is same as root
Thank you all for your suggestions,

DISPLAY variable in R12 Forms/Web tier

Hello everyone,
Just wanted to clarify something about the DISPLAY variable in R12 Forms/Web Tiers. Is it necessary to have DISPLAY variable set to an active X session(Vnc) server session on Forms/Web Tiers? I understand that we need to do it for CM/Report/Admin tiers. Please confirm.
Thanks

It's required is some cases (like the following), and I would recommend having it set on all application tier nodes to the same value.
s_display -- Required only if you need to access graphs/charts, OLM implementation, ..etc (any page that requires DISPLAY to be set)

Ias 10.1.2 and DISPLAY variable

Hi all.
In production I have installed aix server (5.3) with ebs 11.5.10.2 and ias 10.1.2 (in new ORACLE_HOME). Everything works fine, but to make it clear, i need help regarding DISPLAY variable.
On ebs 11i, DISPLAY variable is set to non existing IP address for X server and everything works fine, only need Xvnc up.
On IAS 10.1.2, Xvnc is up and i have to set DISPLAY variable to X-Win server on second win machine. In this case everything works.
Can anyone explain why is it so , because i do not understand the concept of XWin.
Thanks
Boris

Hi,
I have the same problem. Do you find something about putting jsf in OAS 10.1.2 ?

Display variable setting in Solaris 8

Hi guyz,
I am using the telnet session to start the application. In this case, I can't able to start because of Display variable setting.
My problem is, I can telnet from my localsystem to the Server-A. Only from Server-A, I can telnet to Server-B where my applications are.How to set Display settings in this case?
Please help me guyz.
With regards,
Amin

Hello,
how to set a variable depends on the shell. If you use the command 'uname -n' it will return the name of your system, which can in turn be resolved to the ip-address.
C-shell (csh) setenv `uname -n`:0.0
Bourne-shell (sh) set DISPLAY=`uname -n`:0.0; export DISPLAY
Korn-shell (ksh) export DISPLAY=`uname -n`:0.0
Best regards

Cannot execute autocheck DISPLAY variable not set Oracle 10g Solaris 10

Hallo!I am a total Solaris newbie. I am trying to install Oracle 10g on Solaris 10 but when I run the runInstaller,th following error appears
Could not execute auto check for display colors using command /usr/openwin/bin/xdpyinfo. Check if the DISPLAY variable is set. Failed <<<<I have set the display parameters in the oracle user via command

How do I resolve this?

xclock can run as root user but not as oracle user

$ export DISPLAY

Thanks.Assuming you are connecting to the solaris box from you workstation via telnet or ssh ...
Do you have an x-server (such as Exceed or xming) running on your workstation?
Did you set DISPLAY to the ip of your workstation, not the solaris server?
DISPLAY is redirecting "x" output to the specified location (your workstation), and there needs to be an x-server running at that location.

Displaying variable no. of fields for different records

Hi,
I have the requirement of displaying variable no of fields for different type of record in the business object.How can this be done in VC. For example i have to show an extra field for country "IN"
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Anupam

Hi Anupam,
Please explain ur requirement more clearly.
If understanding is right ,you are creating a Table/Form with the information of a particular company ,and u r interested to add another column to this table and this column should not be visible when to select another company. Am I right?
What is the data source is it a BAPI or Query or Query View?
1)Drag and drop a table from the Query(if suppose).Or form if u want to include in the form.
2)And if u want another field(if it is to be calculated) in ur table u can have include an expression box by clicking a "+" sign in the table and specify the formula for it in the Expression field uder the Data source field in the General Tab.
3)And if u want to hide this field when u select another country then u can set a visibility condition.
4)Go to control properties window of the new field.U can get this by selecting the new added field and by clicking on configure or by left clicking the new field and then selecting the properties.
5)Inside the General Tab, u have UI Control,below that u have Hidden which is a check box, just check it.And click on condition. Then type the condition for it to be hidden.Then it is hidden.
Please try doing the above.
Reward me with points if its helpful.
Thanks,Regards,

Thanks, Dave A.

A Java AWT, X11 problem posted in the weblogic ejb newsgroup. I haven't been in here for long, but
that has to be a first.
If you have the DISPLAY env variable set to :0.0, you have to be at the console on a Solaris box
running the XServer. 'xdm' I think is the code that has to be running. Also, I think the format is
<hostname:0.0> or better <hostname:0> unless you are on a multi-headed workstation. Something like:
export DISPLAY=hostname:0
where hostname is the name of the host running an XServer and the .xhosts file allows access to the
XServer from the display client.
Apparently, you are not at the console?
Anyway, I don't think there is a newsgroup here that I could even recommend to cross-post this to as
it is not a WebLogic question. I think I would try the Discussion Forums at http://java.sun.com.

No X11 DISPLAY variable

Hi ,
I am trying to start the Admin ACC from dynadmin. But when i click Start ACC in server VM . I am getting following error.
The ATG Control Center could not be started. Dynamo received the following error message from the JVM: java.awt.HeadlessException: No X11 DISPLAY variable was set, but this program performed an operation which requires it.
Please help me to fix the issue.
Thanks ;
Mark

ACC is Java Swing based client UI so it requires a display. Try setting this on the shell where you are starting your server if you are on the same host:
export DISPLAY=:0.0
You might want to restart your server after setting this if you want to start ACC in server VM.
In case you are using PuTTY to tunnel through the UNIX machine then check if "Enable X11 Forwarding" is selected in PuTTY settings. You can find that option under Connection -> SSH -> Tunnels

How to set the DISPLAY variable to run admsi.pl?

Dear Experts,
I'm trying to patch Oracle apps R12 using admsi.pl.
hostname: black
APPS db: VIS
But I keep getting the error:
Please set the DISPLAY variable and re-run this script
This is what I did:
VIS database and listener are already running.
login to the linux server as unix user: applmgr
cd /oapps/applmgr/VIS/apps/apps_st/appl/
. APPSVIS_black.env
cd /oapps/applmgr/VIS/apps/apps_st/appl/ad/12.0.0/bin/
admsi.pl
Invoking Oracle Patch Application Assistant....
Please set the DISPLAY variable and re-run this script
huh ?
set | grep -i "display"
DISPLAY=:0.0
set | wc
435 486 25235
I notice that there are 36 .env files!
For applmgr alone!!
find /oapps/applmgr/ -type f -name "*.env" | wc
36 36 2626
For oracle, there are another 7 .env files!
find /oapps/oracle/ -type f -name "*.env" | wc
7 7 513
Did I get the environment (env) file correct?
Or do I need to run a few more env first?
If so, which ones?
What would the order of operations be?
sqldeveloper has given me problems with Display sometimes.
But even sqldeveloper works fine.
What is the secret to get admsi.pl to run in the normal manner?
Thank a lot!

Thanks a lot, that worked! So the perl script was wrong.
In the meantime, I had done this, and it seemed to work:
admsi.pl -debug
Gathering Information..
Enter the patch_top : /oappsinstall/update12.1.1/7303030
Enter the APPS user password:

WEB Display Variable Entries

Hi all,
I have two exit variables in i_step = 1 (0CALMONTH and 0PROFIT_CTR) which are configured as follows:
Single value = X
Ready for input = X
Change during navigation = X
Mandatory = X
The two variables are configured identical except for the reference to the InfoObject and the ABAP code to fill the default values.
What I would like to do is to execute a web application with the default values set in the variable exit (This means that variable screen is not forced).
However during query navigation the user should be able to change these default values by using the Change Variable in the content menu.
I got a problem doing this:
When I push the "Display Variable Entries" in the BEx WEB i get the message that the filter value for 0CALMONTH has changed.
Then the query is refreshed with an blank=0CALMONTH and a #=0PROFIT_CTR selektion.
If I then push the "Display Variable Entries" again i get a variable screen containing the 0CALMONTH variable but not the 0PROFIT_CTR variable. I can then enter the new 0CALMONTH value and execute the query again, however the 0PROFIT_CTR is still filtered to #.
There are no personalization on the 0PROFIT_CTR variable so thats not the issue.
Does anyone have an idea why the system is behaving like this?
I would expect it to do the following:
1) press "Display Variable Entries" button
2) the variable screen appears with the default values for both variables
3) change the variables and execute
Best regards
Keld

I found the solution myself

DIsplay variable setting ReflectionX in Bash shell

Everyone,
Can somebody help me with setting display variable for running Configtool in ReflectoinX in Bash shell.
Appreciate your time. Thanks.

> It looks like it will work..only thing is that we need to set display variable..i assume.
If you logon as <sid>adm then no DISPLAY (or other variable) must be set if you use XDMCP.
> I am doing sudo for opening a java tool which needs x window..other x windows like visual admin is working fine but for configtool, i am getting this error saying display variable is not set.
That's what I was saying - do not switch users (sudo, su etc.) - that will delete the environment and invalidate .Xauthority.
> I am not given the <sid>adm password, can i just use X window with sudo OR do i need to get the <sid>adm password to start the configtool..
In that case I would not use XCMCP to connect but a pure telnet, do sudo and then set the DISPLAY to
<your-IP>:<reflection-display>. the latter can be found when open Reflection in the lower part of the configuration window.
