Duplicate line in Global variable

Hi Experts,
I have one BODS job which will load the data from BW to Non SAP. As per my business requirement I have to trigger this job from BW Process chain. For that I have added BODS job in Process Chain Variant and given input to global variable before execute the PC, it was working fine. Now I want to change the Global parameter value for that I open the PC variant it was showing multiple line items and I am not able to run this from Process Chain. Please help me if anybody faces this issue.
Version: BW 7.3
BODS Version : 4.1 SP2
Regards
M Ramesh

Hi All,
When you use the process type "Start job in SAP BusinessObjects Data Services" in a process chain , in the variant maintenance there are duplicate entries created in the global variables. This is due to a Internal Program error.
Apply note 1989821 ( Duplicate entries in Global variables for BOBJDS job in process chain)

Duplicate sub vi with the same global variable

This is a simple question, that probably was answered before:
I had a sub vi that uses a global variable. Now I need two of these sub vi's working simultaneously in a while loop. The problem is that they are both adressing the same global variable, but I need them to be isolated. How do I do that?
Thank you.

Hi Ivan,
This Developer Zone article explains a little more background about why functional global variables are the best option for you. Happy coding!

Problem with .DLL and global variables

Hi,
I need some helps to figure out my problem.
I wrote a .dll file to open and run a GUI. When I run it at the first time, it is ok. When I call it again, there is an error "Pointer to free memory passed to library. It will be ok if I completely exit the program that calls the .dll before re-call it. I think there is some problems with global variables when I call another thread. How can I free global variables between threads. Is there any solution for this problem?
Thanks

Vinh Pham:
Are you doing anything intentionally that frees your globals?
CVI ships with an example program that demonstrates calling a DLL to create a user interface: guidll.cws.
I made two simple modifications to guidll.cws.
1. In guidll.c, I made hpanel global by moving its declaration from RunDLLUI() to right below the #include statements.
2. In useguidll.c, I duplicated the lines calling RunDLLUI () and MessagePopup() to call the DLL gui twice.
I built the project and ran it. I had no problems with free'ed globals.
Take a look at the guidll example.
Can you either post your code or a modification to guidll that demonstrates the problem you're having?

Loading a text file into a global variable issue - really a global var?

From all the documentation and examples I can find, it appears that it would be
correct to create a global array variable [outside of any functions] to load image names into,
then use these images for a slideshow. I want to make the app dynamic, in that changing the text file gives a new set of images.
The global variable goes null [no values] after the load event listener. Why is that?
Isn't global, well global, and alive for the duration of the SWF?
PARAMS.TXT:
monthNames=January,February,March,April,May,June,July,August,September,October,November,De cember&dayNames=Sunday,Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday,Friday,Saturday
CODE:
var dNames:Array = new Array();
var mNames:Array = new Array();
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("images/params.txt");
var variables:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
variables.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
variables.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
try
variables.load(request);
catch (error:Error)
trace("Unable to load URL: " + error);
trace("2 mNames 2: " + mNames[2]);
trace("2 dNames 3: " + dNames[3]);
stop();
function completeHandler(event:Event):void
var loader:URLLoader = URLLoader(event.target);
dNames = loader.data.dayNames.split(",");
mNames = loader.data.monthNames.split(",");
trace(loader.data.dayNames);
trace("1 mNames 2: " + mNames[2]);
trace("1 dNames 3: " + dNames[3]);
OUTPUT:
2 mNames 2: undefined
2 dNames 3: undefined
Sunday,Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday,Friday,Saturday
1 mNames 2: March
1 dNames 3: Wednesday
How do I access these values after loading from the external file, after the load?
Thanks in advance.

The statement you quoted from whatever Adobe documentation is correct.
If you want to load the data into the arrays before anything else happens, then have anything else that happens execute via the completeHandler function... after the data is loaded and processed into the arrays.
the command: loadFile() executes before the trace("2:" +images[4]); command. The loadFile function is processed and the loading process BEGINS... but starting the loading does not delay the main processing from continuing down the line--the loading itself becomes a secondary/background task. The command was to execute the loadFile function and the processing of that function was completed. If you don't believe so, then add a trace...
function loadFile():void
     vars.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
     vars.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete, false, 0, true);
     vars.load(new URLRequest("images/fnames.txt"));
     trace("started loading");
If you add that trace, you should see that the loadFile function execution is completed and the next line in your code is then processed... trace(2....)
The addEventlistener does not stop anything. The addEventListener code is assigning a monitor, not a traffic controller... it is telling the monitor to indicate when the data has finished loading. It is not telling anything to stop program execution.
So if you want to wait until the data is loaded before you do anything else... it goes....
function onComplete(evt:Event):void
     var urlVars:URLVariables = evt.target.data;
     images = vars.data.images.split(",");
     tnails = vars.data.thumbnails.split(",");

How do you override global variable values when calling oraxsl or xsl.exe?

I am a newbie to oracle xslt.
I have down loaded the latest version of xdk (10.1.0.2...). (Jan 2, 2009).
In the past I haveI used micorsoft's "msxsl.exe" to perform my transformations.
I am looking for a more up-to-date transformation tool.
I found Oracle's version, and thought I would try it out.
I have run the "bin/xsl.exe -hh" command.
I read its help data. It states that variables are
passed by coding a pramater "-V <var> <value>".
I have also examined the oraxls.bat file.
I found the documentation on "oracle.xml.parser.v2.oraxsl" class.
It states that parameters are passed after the "-p" switch.
It says the value of the -p parameter is "a list of paramemters".
I don't find this sufficient information to be useful.
I can spend days guessing, and I might get lucky.
I thought it my be better to ask for help.
I need to pass in (override) values for 3 global variables.
I saw the method
"setParam(namespace, variable, value)",
near the documentation for the "oraxsl" class.
How do you format the options string to communicate more than one param statement?
(in either xsl.exe and/or oraxsl class).
Suppose I have an xslt stylesheet as follows:
==================================================
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.1" xmlns:xsl='http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform' >
<xsl:param name='a' select='"default_a"' />
<xsl:param name='b' select='"default_b"' />
<xsl:param name='c' select="'default_c"' />
<xsl:template match='/'>
this is value for a: <xsl:value-of select='$a' />
this is value for b: <xsl:value-of select='$b' />
this is value for c: <xsl:value-of select=$c' />
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
========================================================
Now as part of the calling of the XSL processor I want to change the value of these
three global parameters.
I want:
a="current_a",
b="current_b",
and c="current_c"
How do I express this using xsl.exe and its paramter string (-V ????).
and/or how do I express it to the oraxsl class ( -p (xsl, a,"current_a"), (....) )???
The syntax for specifying this information is not very clear in either situation.
Of course I am making the "assumption" that by "param" they are
refering to "global parameters" (as in my stylesheet), rather than some other global parameters of XLST.
As an aside inquiry:
I had hopped that the Oracle's xsl Verion 2 routine could handle xslt 2.0 commands
such as "xsl:for-each-group", since it handled multiple xsl:outputs.
From reading some of the documentation it seems it only handles xslt 1.0 syntax/commands.
Is this true? (or is the documentation not up-to-date?).
Any help on passing param values to xsl.exe and/or "oraxsl" class is appreciated.
Thanks.

Here is the line from one of my testing .bat files that passed in one parameter. I can't recall if I've passed in two, but this will give you a starting point for passing in multiple
java -cp %CPath% oracle.xml.parser.v2.oraxsl -p show_image='yes' %ValXML% %ValXSLT% As for XSLT 2.0 support, it appears it does per {thread:id=503445}

How to print global variable in smart form table cell

hi,
i have smartform and i insert table in it, i also have set global variable, i want to show variable in table cell.
regards
shahid rais

Hi Shahid Rais
You can use this global variable that has been declared in anywhere as you like.
For displaying global variable in table lines, You can first set the column and row of the table by using the table tab in table node . Then, u can decide either the variable u want to used will be placed on header, main, or footer. After that, right click on one of the table part, and choose create table line. After choosing the correct line type as already been declared in the table painter, just simply right click on the table cell, and then create text node.
You can now enter your variable by using "insert field".
And don't forget the & & signs before and after your variable name.

How can I pass a value field to a global variable?

I have a doubt,
I wnat to know if is possible to pass a value field to a global variable inside of DataFlow?
That a try to do is at the time to execute a JOB on line (real time), depending of the value field that i receive, only certain DATAFLOWS will be executed depending of the value field.
I hope you can help me.
Kind regards!!!

It can be done via various ways, your approach is kind of odd, though.
You are saying you have one kind if Input message, depending on the flag you want to do different transformations. The way you envision that is by loading that flag into a global variable and use different dataflows then.
Can you use different dataflows within one Realtime Job? Yes, usually the first loads an in-memory datastore.
Can you write into a global variable? Yes and No. Not directly, but you can write the value into e.g. a database and using the sql() function read it from there. But why would you. You could write it into the in-memory datastore. And then you run your n dataflows, each has a filter. So only one of these dataflows will actually process the data.
Are there other approaches? I would have a Case transform at the beginning and route the data into different queries depending on the data. So all in one dataflow. Your approach is fine for a batch dataflow where a dataflow is started, does something and then ends. But that's not how it works in Realtime!

Function module Global variables not cleared from memory?

Hi,
This is may be simple & stupid question ( after posting 4242 posts ):)
" Declaration in TOP
data : begin of i_y1yatt occurs 0.
        include structure y1yatt.
data : end of i_y1yatt.
types: begin of t_yatt71.
       include structure yatt71.
types: tcode like sy-tcode.
types: dflag type c.
types: end of t_yatt71.
data : i_yatt71 type standard table of t_yatt71
               with default key with header line initial size 0.
This is code in the function module.
loop at i_y1yatt.
    move-corresponding o_y1yatt to i_yatt71.
    if i_y1yatt-werks eq 'N501'.
       move space to i_yatt71-werks.
    endif.
    append i_yatt71.
    " Here this internal contains the previous entry
    clear i_yatt71.
endloop.
This function module is called 25 times in a minute.
My problem is this
For example : 1st tranmission is called this fm with 50 records,
and 2nd tranmission is called fm with 10 records.
My results are showing
last record in the 1st transmission is still on the memory while calling 2nd transmission. ( Here in int table I_YATT71 still contains the 1st transmission's last records during the 2nd tranmission call)
As per my knowledge if each time calls comes in to fm all gloabl variables get cleared. but some how this not happening.
Anybody come across this scenario.
PS. I know i need to use clear statement within the loop as first statement.
a®

You must understand that when calling a FM, you load the entire function group into memory. IF there are global variables, then they are "alive" for the entire duration of the program execution. Meaning if you call the function numerious times, or even if you call another function within the same function group, the functions still have access to that same global variable space, so it must always be cleared manually by the developer at the required points. You can not rely on the runtime to clear the global variables at the end of the function call. So you should clear all you globals as the first operation in your function module call, if that is what is required.
Is this clear?

Dynamic CSV file name in target (Multiple workflow calling same dataflow with new global variable value)

Hi their,
I have multiple data flows doing 90% of the process same. The difference is in source query where clause and target flat file.
I used the global variables to dynamically change the query where clause easily, but I need help in dynamically changing the target flat file (CSV file).
What I want to do is have multiple workflows, which will first set the global variable to new value in the script box and then call the same data flow.
Please let me know if you have any solution or any idea which might put me in the direction to my quest for solution.
thank you,

Hi Raj - in your content conversion for lineitem .. read the additional attribute as well.
Change your source strcture and additional field company_code
As you are already sending the filename for each line item using the UDF.. it's just you need to modify your UDF to take another input i.e. Company Code.
or
If your PI version is > 7.1 use the graphical variable to hold the filename..
and while sending the company code information for every item just use the concat function to append filename & company code..

How can I run two different vi's in same project which are accessing same global variable with out effecting the speed of the execution of both the vi's

Hi
I have build an Labview project with FPGA target . I have configured an FPGA VI and an host Vi to acquire data and logged the data to a file and stored the latest data in a global variable simultanously. I have configured one more VI in the same project to access the global variable. I have build a dll to access both the VI as functions in LabWindows/CVI code. My task in CVI is to update configured GUI with latest data periodically and run the host VI continously for a long time and log the data to a file. GUI should update for every one second with latest data for this I am using the second VI in which I am accessing the global varibale in which the latest data has been stored in host VI.

How to declare a global variable from a PL/SQL package

Hi All,
Using a global variable is a bad practise for all language. However, in my case, I have a PL/SQL package defines all constants, and I want to use them directly via SQL statement, for instance,
PACKAGE my_const
IS
     DEFAULT_ZIP_CODE CONSTANT VARCHAR2(5) := '00000';
END;And I cannot referrence this variable from my select statement as
SELECT my_const.DEFAULT_ZIP_CODE from dual;I have to create a function via my package, as,
FUNCTION get_default_zip_code RETURN VARCHAR2
IS
BEGIN
     RETURN DEFAULT_ZIP_CODE;
END;and
SELECT my_const.get_default_zip_code from dual;I don't want to create functions to referrence the default varaibles. Does anyone have any clues?
thanks

thanks for the info. Your scope explanation makes sense even though it is not intuitive to me. I think the usage of package variables should be supported by SQL (they're just values to be copied) Maybe look at it from another language's perspective. You want to use a global PL package variable in Java/C#/Delphi/VB/etc. How would you do it?
None of these languages can crack open the data segment of a PL code unit, inspect the variables in it, and extract a value from it. Instead, it needs to be done as follows:
Using sqlplus as the client illustrates how all these languages will need to do it:
SQL> var value varchar2(20);
SQL> begin
2>     :value := SomePackage.someVar;
3> end;
4> /So why should SQL behave differently? It is not the same as the PL language. It is not a subset of the PL language. Yeah, PL/SQL blurs the line between these 2 languages making it very simple for us to mix their source code. But PL/SQL is SQL integrated with PL - not PL integrated with SQL. PL has tight hooks into SQL, creating cursors for you, defining bind variables, binding variables and doing the whole Oracle Call Interface bit for you.
But SQL has no need for PL code, just as it has no need for Java code, or Delphi code or VB code. Yes, it is possible for it to call Java stored procs. As it is possible for it to call PL procs. But these are via the formal call interface of those languages - not via tight integration hooks that blur the languages and make SQL and Java, or SQL and PL, look like a single integrated source code unit.
Thus SQL has the pretty much the same constraints in calling the PL language as other languages do. What SQL can do is use the PL engine's call interface and tell it "+execute this function and return the result of the function+".

Global variable in a package

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if this is possible?
I have a table with some control values in it and want to be able to access some of these values in a package.
In the spec of my package I want to be able to set a global variable for the value of a specific record.
i.e. I want to be able to say something like:
glo_value_1 := (select value_col from control_table where id_col = 1);
I'm trying to avoid just creating a cursor that I will have to open/fetch/close for every procedure and function in my package. I'd like to be able to just set the value in the specification so that I can just refer to it as glo_value_1.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Yog

Well there is no support for scalar subquery in PL/SQL (in-line SELECT) but you could of course write a function to geth the control value based on it's id and assign the result of the function to the global, something like...
glo_value_1 := control_value_function (1);

Business Rules : Unable to create a global variable (Fixed)

Hello all,
I try to create a global variable in order to use it in a business rule;
I selected an outline.
I chose the type "Member"
I chose the dimension "Period"
I clicked on the lookup button in front of the default value and chose the member "January"
Finally, I chose the usage type "Run-Time prompt" and type in a prompt string.
Unfortunately, when I click on save, I get an error message : Variable value ["January"] is invalid.
If I try to do not specified a default member, it is possible to save.
But when I launch the business rule and specified a member in the the prompt message, I get an error 1060120 : OLAP error.
I cannot figure out what's going wrong, so any help is welcomed.
Thanks,
DLP

Thanks for your answer,
I finally figure out what's going wrong.
This issue is due to the fact that the outline is configured to accept duplicated names.
When I create the same outline but with duplicated names turn off, every thing goes perfectly.
I don't know why the outline accepts duplicated name.
In fact, I do not understand what are the reasons for using duplicate name...

More details about Surprising LV global variable of type 2

I'm using a type 2 global variable because I need a big data array shared by
two parallel VI, so this data array is manipulated in a subVI non reentrant.
One input of this subVI is an enum called method which represents what
action to do on the data of the subVI and this input is directly wired to a
condition structure.
The big data array is contained by an indicator in the front panel of this
subVI because
this big data is an output of the load method so this indicator is wired as
output connector of the subVI because it is needed when loaded.
For other method the big data array is read to extract part of needed data,
so in the subVI diagramm, a readable local variable issued from the big data
arra
y terminal is used . But how big data array is not needed for these
methods, big data array terminal is not rewritten as output in these
condition diagramms because the big data array is theoretically unchanged
and I want to avoid to duplicate my big data array to save time and memory.
The result is surprising because:
After the load method, the big data array output is right.
Then, the input of the second subVI call as a get method is correct.
Readable local variable of the big data array sends right data as input of
the condition associated with this method, in the subVI.
Then, the input of the third subVI call as a get method is wrong. Readable
local variable of the big data array sends wrong data as input of the
condition associated with this method, in the subVI.
So, I suppose I have to wire my big array as output of the condition for
every method call, what lose
a lot of time and memory.
Have you a better idea, please?

Brice,
Are you using a while loop with uninitialized shift-registers in your LV2
style global. This technique is what defines a "LV2 style global" also
called functional globals because you can embed actual functionality into
the VI (for example in your case to extract certain data from an array and
operate on it) as opposed to the read/write only usage of the built in
globals.
From what I can gather, it doesn't sound like you are using the while
loop/shift-register method. You shouldn't need to use a local variable at
all. The data is passed around using the shift-register and it passes
through all of you conditions (load, get, etc.) and no you won't lose time
and memory (or money) doing it this way, certainly not any more than you
would using a local variable. Try it and see if it doesn't fix your
problems and work better than what you are doing now.
If you are using a while loop and shift-registers, then I'm not
understanding clearly what you are doing. Perhaps if you emailed me your VI
(privately of course) to take a look at.
Good Luck!

Quick question, where to put global variables

Very quick question:
where is the best place to put global variables,
(e.g. a flag that turns on debug mode)
if they are needed by the entire application?
I'm guessing they should be placed in their own class.
But should I make them public static final constants,
and just do Globals.MYCONSTANT
OR should i do "implements Globals" in all my other classes?
The first way seems simpler and more logical,
but in the examples for JSDT, they use the second technique.
Any thoughts?
thanks! =)

I would suggest either creating a properties file for your globals, or adding them to the system properties at startup. Placing items like debugging tags in your code means that you have to change the code, recompile, and rejar before your change is implemented. Using system properties means that you simply have to change your command-line options (i.e., from -Dmyapp.debug=true to -Dmyapp.debug=false).
