Please help to overcome this issue.

Hello,
First make sure that you're able to retreive data from the repository (right click on a table and view data?)
To create a session variable follow these steps:
From the Administration Tool menu bar, choose Manage > Variables.
In the Variable Manager dialog box, from the menu bar, choose Action > New > Session > Variable.
In the Session Variable dialog box, type a variable name.
Names for all variables should be unique. The names of system session variables are reserved and cannot be used for other types of variables.
For session variables, you can select the following check boxes:
Enable any user to set the value
Check box that allows you to set the session variables after the initialization block has populated the value (at user login) by calling the ODBC store procedure NQSSetSessionValue(). For example, this allows non-Oracle BI Administrators to set this variable for sampling.
Use the Initialization Block drop-down list to select an initialization block that will be used to refresh the value on a continuing basis.
To add a Default initializer value, perform one of the following steps:
To use the Expression Builder, click the ellipsis button to the right of the Default initializer work space.
Type the value into the Default initializer text box.
Click OK.
you can do the same for a repository variable except that you will have to specif a refresh interval.
Make sure the sql your are issuing is correct by running it first using a client.
