Help: Portal calendar error when using wwctx_api.get_user

Question

Hi,
I am trying to create a calendar based on some table data and results should be specific to portal user logged in. So I have created following query but it does not filter the data based on the user logged in. I have checked and there are no issues on data side.
select
a.EVENT_START_DT the_date,
a.EVENT_NAME the_name,
( ) the_name_link,
null the_date_link,
null the_target,
null the_intermedia
from TBL_EVENTS a
where a.Event_Status = 0
and a.event_personal = 1
and a.event_recorded_by = (select entryid FROM ods.CT_UID where upper(ATTRVALUE) = upper(wwctx_api.get_user))
order by a.event_id desc
Failing above I also tried other way using bind variable and then passing the page paramater (selecting system variables USER_NAME) to the bind variable
Select a.EVENT_START_DT the_date,
a.EVENT_NAME the_name,
( ) the_name_link,
null the_date_link,
null the_target,
null the_intermedia
from TBL_EVENTS a
where a.Event_Status = 0
and a.event_personal = 1
and a.event_recorded_by = (select entryid FROM ods.CT_UID where upper(ATTRVALUE) = upper(:username))
order by a.event_id desc
However it still dont work.
Can anyone please give me any suggestion or way to resolve this.
Any help much appriciated.
Thanks

Hi,
I am storing OID user id but I am comparing as follows
select
a.EVENT_START_DT the_date,
a.EVENT_NAME the_name,
('' ) the_name_link,
null the_date_link,
null the_target,
null the_intermedia
from TBL_EVENTS a
where a.Event_Status = 0
and a.event_personal = 1
and a.event_recorded_by = (select entryid FROM ods.CT_UID where upper(ATTRVALUE) = upper(portal.wwctx_api.get_user)
order by a.event_id desc
but this comes with following error
Unable to describe SQL statement. Please correct it (WWV-13010)
Took exception (WWV-13005)
ORA-01001: invalid cursor (WWV-11230)

Failed to parse as CCMPORTAL - select a.EVENT_START_DT the_date, a.EVENT_NAME the_name, ('http://portal.ccm.ac.uk/portal/page/portal/TMC/STAFFPORTAL/COLLEGE_SERVICES/COLLEGE_CALENDAR/Event%20Manager/Tab_Update?meventid=##A.EVENT_NAME##' ) the_name_link, null the_date_link, null the_target, null the_intermedia from TBL_EVENTS a where a.Event_Status = 0 and a.event_personal = 1 and a.event_recorded_by = (select entryid FROM ods.CT_UID where upper(ATTRVALUE) = upper(portal.wwctx_api.get_user) order by a.event_id desc
I then tried creating bind variable as follows
select
a.EVENT_START_DT the_date,
a.EVENT_NAME the_name,
('' ) the_name_link,
null the_date_link,
null the_target,
null the_intermedia
from TBL_EVENTS a
where a.Event_Status = 0
and a.event_personal = 1
and a.event_recorded_by = (select entryid FROM ods.CT_UID where upper(ATTRVALUE) = upper(:musername)
order by a.event_id desc
and then passing system variable USER_NAME to musername in page parameter settings to the portlet.
Please advise help
Thanks
