No i manage the language of WebDynpro myself, with tables from R3.
I wanna do only a thing like HTTP SESSION variable from the WEB.
I could do it, using java function of servlet, but i don't wanna use third packege out of WebDynpro FRAMEWORK.
The isn't an OBJECT CLASS STANDARD od WebDynpro that do that?
I wanna PERMANENT variable from a WebDynpro to another.
It is an implicit variable passage.
No one did something of similar?

How to set a session variable

Hi,
I would like to know how to set a session variable for the following purpose.
At the top of my application I have a "Welcome <username>" I'd like it instead to have "Welcome <firstname> <lastname>".
So the concept would be after the user logs in succesfully this session variable is dynamically set so it can be displayed.

Hi Scott,
I realize that I can set items etc in pages. The case I'm referring to is a reference in a template. My template has a "Welcome <user name>" ... so the code looks like "Welcome &APP_USER." Anyway to make it say "Welcome first_name last_name" in the template? Note I'll have to get the first/last names from a query
Thanks,
Marty

Hi Gurus,
We have below requirement.Please help us at the earliest.
How to pass session variable value with GO URL to override session value. ( It is not working after making changes to authentication xml file session init block creation as explained by oracle (Bug No14372679 : which they claim it is fixed in 1.7 version Ref No :Bug 14372679 : REQUEST VARIABLE NOT OVERRIDING SESSION VARIABLE RUNNING THRU A GO URL )
Please provide step by step solution.No vague answers.
I followed below steps mentioned.
RPD:
****-> Created a session variable called STATUS
-> Create Session Init block called Init_Status with SQL
select 'ACTIVE' from dual;
-> Assigned the session variable STATUS to Init block Init_Status
authenticationschemas.xml:
Added
<RequestVariable source="url" type="informational"
nameInSource="RE_CODE" biVariableName="NQ_SESSION.STATUS"/>
Report
Edit column "Contract Status" and added session variable as
VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.STATUS)

Issue:
When I run the URL above with parameter EXPIRED, the report still shows for ACTIVE only. The URL is not making any difference with report.

Can I set a Session Variable from a Dashboard Prompt, using values that are

Hi All
Trying to set a Session Variable to an integer value, by letting users select a text value from the drop-down list on a Dashboard Prompt. The goal is to set the input parameter to the IndexCol function, but to provide the end users with a text description of what they are setting.
Select Value Set Variable Value
My 0
My Team 1
My Companies 2
My Teams Companies 3
Any suggestions on how to accomplish this? Certainly we could populate the drop-down from a data source, however I don't see how to populate a variable with something other than the values on the screen.
The IndexCol function is referenced in a Filter in Answers, and I'm thinking to populate a Session variable using the (Presentation) variable value set from the prompt. But how to do this? I see a reference to a function NQSSetSessionValue(), but cannot find documentation on how it works.
Any clue will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi kishore..
Looks like the link u have sent uses advanced SQL tab to set session variables. I want to know if I can use "set variable NQ_SESSION.myvar= @something" in the "SQL results" -while creating a dashboard prompt-.
Purpose: I want the session variable to be set based on whatever report that im currently in.
And i dont want to use presentation variables because im using a reset button in my page.
My reset script resets presentation variables and NOT session variables.
Thanks in advance

Can someone tell me why this is not setting the session variable?

first page
<?php
// script1.php
session_start();
echo "<form action=\"script2.php\" method=\"post\"
name=\"name1\">";
echo "Your name: <input name=\"name\" type=\"text\"
size=\"20\" value=\"\"> ";
echo "<input name=\"submit\" type=\"submit\"
value=\"Submit\">";
echo "</form>";
?>
second page
<?php
// script2.php
session_start();
echo('Hello, ' . $_SESSION['name1']);
?>

You need to set the session variable first.
<?php
session_start();
if (isset($_POST['name1'])) $_SESSION['name1'] =
$_POST['name1'];
echo 'Hello, ' . $_SESSION['name1'];
?>
By the way, using echo to create your form on page one is a
complete
waste of time. Just use an ordinary HTML form - a lot less
typing, and a
lot more efficient.

How to a session variable in another initialisation block?

Hello all,
I think I overlook something. So hope someone please can help me out.
I have 2 initialisation blocks.
The first one has as a source a LDAP server.
Now I fill a session variable called mail by the LDAP server.
When I click on test I will see my mail address.
lets say I see [email protected]
No I want to do something with that subdomain.
So I made a new initialisation block with the database as the source.
And made a query
select case when upper(:mail) like 'subdomain%' then A else 'NO Domain found' END from dual
but this doesn't work, and really don't understand why!! (and ofcourse I am using the executed precendence option to initialise first the other initaialisation block)
also when I change the query in:
select case when upper('[email protected]') like 'SUBDOMAIN%' then A else 'NO Domain found' END from dual
then it al works fine..
Hope anyone can help me out!!
Best regards,
Remc0

Does the Init Block really fails? Could you please set the logging level to 2 in that user and review both the NQuery and Presentation Services log files? Can you try with a simply select statement:
SELECT upper(VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.MAIL)) FROM DUAL
to make sure the new variable is getting initialized? It could be that the value from the LDAP server has trailing or leading spaces?
Also I don't see why you need to put the domain on another session variable, you could do your filter using the case statement directly. Unknown to many a CASE statement can be used in a WHERE clause as well. Sample SQL:
WHERE COLUMN = (case when upper(VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.MAIL)) like '%SUBDOMAINY%' then 'SUBDOMAINY' else 'NO Domain found' END)

How to use session variables in initialization blocks

Hello,
I want to use a session variable in a initialization block. Here is what I was doing to see this working
I created a init block called name_parameter and associated with a variable target named name_parameter_v. The init string for this block is "select 'Hello' from dual".
i created another init block name_parameter2 and associated with a variable target named name_parameter2_v. The init string is "select :name_parameter_v from dual".
I have selected name_parameter in the edit execution precedence for name_parameter2.
The result set is empty. Could you please explain why I am not able to see Hello when i test name_parameter2.
Thanks.

to obtain the value contained in a session variable this is the syntax.
select 'VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.VARIABLE_NAME)' from dual
mind the single quotes, they are necessary

How to store session variables in drop down menu (and radiobutton/checkbox)

How am I going to store session variables in the drop down menu, radio button, checkbox.
In text area, I do like below:
<input type="text" name="membershipno" size="5" maxlength="50" value="<%=((session.getValue("Smembershipno")!=null)?session.getValue("Smembershipno"):"") %>">
Any idea?

Hi jeffkyt79, I could have answered this on Expert's Exchange. But I suppose it would be hard as the site is down right now :-(
Here is sample code for the form:
<form action="" name="form1">
<input type="text" name="field1" value="<%
if (session.getAttribute("field1")!=null) {
out.println(session.getAttribute("field1"));
} %>"><br>
<input type="text" name="field2" value="<%
if (session.getAttribute("field2")!=null) {
out.println(session.getAttribute("field2"));
} %>"><br>
<input type="text" name="field3" value="<%
if (session.getAttribute("field3")!=null) {
out.println(session.getAttribute("field3"));
} %>"><br>
<input type="checkbox" name="check1" value="tick"<% if (session.getAttribute("check1")!=null) out.println(" checked"); %>><br>
<% String selRadio=(session.getAttribute("r1")!=null)?(String)session.getAttribute("r1"):""; %>
<input type="radio" name="r1" value="yesdot"<% if (selRadio.equals("yesdot")) {out.println(" checked");} %>>
<input type="radio" name="r1" value="nodot"<% if (selRadio.equals("nodot")) {out.println(" checked");} %>><br>
<select name="sel">
<% String selOption=(session.getAttribute("sel")!=null)?(String)session.getAttribute("sel"):""; %>
<option value="option1"<% if (selOption.equals("option1")) {out.println(" selected");} %>>OPTION 1
<option value="option2"<% if (selOption.equals("option2")) {out.println(" selected");} %>>OPTION 2
     <option value="option3"<% if (selOption.equals("option3")) {out.println(" selected");} %>>OPTION 3
</select>
</form>
And here's the revised javascript function to put in form1.jsp:
function newWin() {
f=document.form1.elements;
str="?";
mypage="test2.jsp"; // I've hardcoded the url for testing but you can fix this
for (i=0;i<f.length;i++) {
if (f.type=="text") {
if (f[i].value!="") {
str=str+f[i].name+"="+f[i].value+"&";
          continue;
     if (f[i].type=="checkbox"||f[i].type=="radio") {
     if (f[i].checked) {
     str=str+f[i].name+"="+f[i].value+"&";
     if (f[i].type=="select-one") {
     str=str+f[i].name+"="+f[i].options[f[i].selectedIndex].value+"&";
str=str.substr(0,str.length-1);
// now open the popup
mypage+=str;
win=window.open(mypage, 'myname'); // I've left out the winprops but you can fix this
If you can ask any more questions, could you do it on EE (if possible!!). I know this works because I've tested it.

How to get session variable value in conditional formatting

I am trying to format my column according to value of a session variable. Normally when comparing to a static value I select value from add button and write the value. What I want is to be able to do this using a session variable. I select variable presentation and as the variable expression I tried MYDAY, NQ_SESSION.MYDAY, VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.MYDAY), VALUEOF(MYDAY) but nothing works. By the way it is a date value, I don't know it makes any difference
Any help would be appriciated

I am surprised that it is not possible to select a session variable when you want to use conditional formatting. Apparently you can only base conditional formatting on presentation variable or values within a column.
As a workaround you can create an extra column in your request and use a CASE WHEN statement, where you compare the value of the date with the session variable. Then you can base your conditional formatting on that column.

Stijn

On your form action page, put this in:
<%
Session("varOne") = Request.Form("dropdown1")
Session("varTwo") = Request.Form("dropdown2")
%>
To write the sessions to the page, put this:
You searched for <%=varOne%> and <%=varTwo%>.

How to store session variable in portal?

Hi All,
I have many webdynpro applications in portal. One of them displays list of project numbers read from backend. If user selects a project number and clicks OK button on that view, the same project number should be made available in all the other applications.
For this purpose, I want to store the project number in the session.
Is it necessary to create a portal service to store the session variable?
Thanks and Regards,
Deepti

Hi Deepti,
Through portal eventing you can pass data in the String format from Web Dynpro application to Portal application using WDPortalEventing API. Please check it.
