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 pass session variable value with GO URL to override session value

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

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.

How to get a variable into another block?

Hello,
(I am from Germany, so be patient due my english please)
We do a project at our University where we have to do with wordfrequencies. The app works fine, but it cannot works with the variable wich contains the information to analyse.
Look, I am more or less new in Java and I found a code and modyfied that. So I had to initalize the variable with the data from another class. I did the following thing.
Thats is the class, where the variable is come from:
class Lesen extends HTMLEditorKit.ParserCallback
     String zeile;
     String fileName;
     Wortfrequenz aha;                                 // name of the class where I need the variable                                                                                                                                                                      public Lesen (String fileName)
          this.fileName = fileName;
public void handleText(char[] data, int pos)
                String strom = new String (data);
                aha = new Wortfrequenz ();
                aha.verb(strom);                // "strom" is the variable here in this class which caontains the data
....and within the class "Wortfrequenz" I tryed to do the following thing:
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class Wortfrequenz
     static String flus;
     public void verb (String o)
          flus = o;
HashMap words = new HashMap();
HashMap stopWords = new HashMap();
String delim = " \t\n.,:;?!-/()[]\"\'";
String file;
String word;
Count count;
                try
                        FileReader kl = new FileReader("stopwords.txt");
                        BufferedReader mk = new BufferedReader(kl);
                        String einlesen;
                        Lesen eins = new Lesen(flus);
                        while ((einlesen = mk.readLine()) != null)
                                stopWords.put(einlesen, einlesen);
                        mk.close(); if I test the app and do a "System.out" direktly after
flus = o;then I can see that the information is within the variable, but when I test the variable within the next block where I need it, for example after
Count count;or anywhere in this block, then I get
null
null
null
null
null
...if anyone tell me how I can get the information of this variable into the nex block, that would be great.
Thanks a lot for helping...
Stephan

This: public void verb (String o)
flus = o;
}Is the whole verb method. That's all it does is assign the flus variable. This:{
HashMap words = new HashMap();
// etcIs an initializer, which runs as soon as the object is created, ie before the verb method.

Use of a Session Variable in another session variable in OBIEE

Hi,
I want to use a session variable say A to calculate value of another session variable B. I am using valueof(NQ_SESSION.A) in the initialization block of variable B. But the result is coming blank. I know that the value exists. I have also set the precedence for B to run variable A first.
Am I missing something here?

vkos, it works fine for me as my first variable it's initialized when a user logins so the second variable can use its value. What you are trying to do it's not possible. It's not clear if the OP is trying to do the same thing but I will agree that if it is trying to initiliaze a session variable at runtime this is not going to work. You will either have to use presentation variables or update the session variable via GO URL or via Advanced settings in Answers. See the following posts:

Passing values to session variables from another application

Hi,
From an external application we are passing username and password for accessing the OBIEE Dashboard.In the url call we are passing NQUser and NQPassword. This is working fine.
To setup data level security we need to pass region id list also as request object. Then we can filter the tables by the value in the region id list for that user. If we use external table to pass the home_id list then the application is working fine by setting up row-wise init block. But we need request object from an external application to send the list. How can we accept the list from OBIEE RPD?
In the documentation it mentions about session variables - non system. But it requires an init block. How can we create a variable that accepts the values when user logins just like NQUser and NQPassword.
Please suggest.
Thanks.

Yes, this absolutely possible. You can get the details from the Web Services guide since it has all the necessary examples and more explanation. Thats why i did not include it in the blog. You can get it from page 213 of the Docs http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B40078_02/doc/bi.1013/b31766.pdf

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 replace one variable with another in large number of queries

Hello guys!
I have this situation: our company needs to use one variable instead of another for certain amount of queries.
Is there some way to automatically replace one variable with another for a certain characteristic in big number of queries ( like 150 - 200 ) ? Doing this manually would take lots of time)
Apreciate your help!

you could try (at your own risk) the following:
1. search the technical id (ELTUID) of your variable in table RSZELTDIR
2. see where this variable is used in table RSZELTXREF (by filling RSZELTDIR-ELTUIID in RSZELTXREF-TELTUID)
3. add similar entries for your new variable
4. delete the entries for the old variable (they're part of the key, so you can't simply "change" them)

How to declare global variables using another global variable in ODI

I am declaring a gloabal variable using another global variable.
say for example:
I have a global variable empid.
I am decalaring another global variable empname in refreshing tab of global variables and the select statment is
select empname from emp where empno = #GLOBAL.empid -------if i write like this i am getting error as invalid character.
select empname from emp where empno = '#GLOBAL.empid'-------if i write like this i am getting error as invalid number.
I have kept the datatype as numeric and action as non persistent
Please help
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
You cant test/refresh empname standalone.
You need to create a new package drag and drop both variables and make them as refresh variable and execute that package and test.
Flow,
empid----> empname
Thanks,
Guru

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.

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.
