Page Specific Persistence using Session Variables

Hi, I have read a lot about using session variables to persist the ReportDocument object across page loads. This works fine if you have just one page open with one report. The problem I am having is I have a web application that makes 30 or 40 different reports available to the user. To simplify the code and make it easier to add new reports I have developed a single template aspx page that can be used to view any of the reports.
My problem is that if the user opens 2 different reports in 2 separate tabs in the browser then the session variable persistence doesn't work because the session variable is available to both tabs.
Is there a way to persist the ReportDocument object which is 'page' specific.
Thanks

Your best option is likely to have something that makes the session variable names unique. I've done such things as putting the current datetime in the url as a querystring parameter and appending that to the variable name. On each postback that querystring should persist.
You might be able to use the reportclientdocument object and serialize the report and persist through view state, haven't tried this with inproc ras though. A sample that uses the ras sdk can be found [here|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/NETRASSDK+Samples]

Can we use session variables in BI publisher's Data Model SQL Query?

Hi Experts,
We need to implement Data level security in BI Publisher 11g.
In OBIEE we do so by using session variables, so just wanted to ask if we can use the same session variables in BI Publisher as well
ie can we include the where clause in the Data Models SQL Query like
Where ORG_ID = @{biServer.variables['NQ_SESSION.INV_ORG']}
Let me know your views on this.
PS: We are implementing EBS r12 security in BI Publisher.
Thanks

Read this -> OBIEE 11g: Error: "[nQSError: 23006] The session variable, NQ_SESSION.LAN_INT, has no value definition." when Creating a SQL Query using the session variable NQ_SESSION.LAN_INT in BI Publisher [ID 1511676.1]

Use Session Variable with row-wise initialization

Hello,
I use an initialization block in order to load some translations in my repository (version is 11.1.1.6.BP1) :
SQL :
SELECT CODE_KEY, STRING_VALUE FROM "TABLES" WHERE LANGUAGE_KEY= 'VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.USERLOCALE)'
Values :
CN_INCOMING, Incoming, en
CN_OUTGOING, Outgoing, en
CN_INCOMING, Réception, fr
CN_OUTGOING, Emission, fr
etc ...
I checked the row-wise intialization.
The query is correct and returns the right values (I check in the log file ..).
So far, So good.
But when I want to use session variables in a column expression (in repository) like :
CASE WHEN "column"="xx" THEN VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."CN_INCOMING") ELSE VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."CN_OUTGOING") END
I got the error: [nQSError: 23006] The session variable, NQ_SESSION.CN_OUTGOING, has no value definition.
If I used the same formula directly in Answers it's working correctly.
Do I have to necessarily do this in answers or is there a way to do this in the repository.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Benjamin

Yes I already tested this point, when I don't use a row wise initialization it's working, but I don't want to create one variable for each translations that I need to use in column formula if you know what I mean.
I don't understand why we can't use this kind of variable in this context ..but if I have to create the column in my analysis, I will do that, but it's not really user friendly
Anyway thanks for your time.

Dates Format in Promts using Session Variables

Hi Experts,
I have an issue in controlling date format in prompts using session variable which I am using to set default value.
By default date format is timestamp E.g '2010-12-19 12:00:00 AM'.
As per requriement(s) I customized the date format in Reports as 19-Dec-2010 and I saved it as "System Wide Default for <Date Column Name> "
So, I got desired format in Reports and Date Prompts.
Now, I need to set a default value in Date Prompt. So, in RPD I created a Session Variable which returned me date in
DD-MON-YYYY format. Using follwing SQL :
SELECT REPLACE(CONVERT(VARCHAR(11), Getdate (), 106), ' ', '-') AS [DD-Mon-YYYY]
But in reports takes this value as string and not Datetime. So i got an error message.
A datetime value was expected (received "19-Dec-2010").
If i do not use above SQL to CONVERT date then default date in prompt get displayed as timestamp format and give me desired results but Formatting looks very odd in prompt
Is this a way so I can persist the [DD-Mon-YYYY] Formatting for default value which comes using variable and still run the report.
Above problem also exist vice versa that is if i SET that session variable and pass the datetime value to server. But there i guess I can use ToDate or some Casting in RPD column expression to handle that. Tell me if i am right ?
Thanks
Saurabh

That almost works. I had to adjust the syntax to the following...and then there are other issues doing this.
select cust_no, name,'@{session.currentUser}' from customersMy write-back SQL is this:
UPDATE customers SET NAME='@{c1}',LAST_EDITED_BY='@{c2}' WHERE CUST_NO=@{c0}But I don't want to display the cust_no column to the user. So I hide it in the UI. But if I do that I get the below error during write-back. Apparently sometimes when you hide a column on a direct query (numeric maybe?) the value doesn't transfer over to the write-back. If that's the case, this won't work for me. Hmm...

Sticky using session variables

Hello
I was wondering if it is possible to stick a session to a server using session variables (such as username) Currently I am using cookies to keep the session sticky but i also need to use the session variables.
Thanks
Donagh

Donagh,
there is absolutely no reason to use both.
If the name is more important, than use the name.
If the cookie is more important, than use the cookie.
If one is not more important than the other, then keep using the cookie.
Another way to see it is :
if the name and the cookie refer to the same server, it does not matter which one you use.
But if they point to different servers.
What do you do ?
Which information do you use to select the server ?
The name or the cookie ?
As I said, there is no reason to use both.
Unless if one is missing.
But the problem is then to make sure it is always there.
Is there any stickyness issue currently ?

Using Session Variables for User Login - sometimes they don't persist... what am I doing wrong?

Hi all,
I'm running a site that requires user login. I approached the building of this site as almost a complete newb to CF (and dynamic coding in general), and it's been a great learing experience (with lots of help from you guys).
However, I guess I never learned the correct way to handle a user login. It seemed to me that I could just test the user-entered credentials against those stored in a database, then set a session variable containg that user's record number. Then, not only would I have an easy way of knowing who this user was and therefore what info to serve him, but I could test for the existence of a valid login on every page in the protected folder, by adding this code to my application.cfc in that folder:
<cfset This.Sessionmanagement=true>
<cfset This.Sessiontimeout="#createtimespan(0,8,0,0)#">
 <cfif NOT isDefined ("session.username") or NOT isDefined ("session.password") or NOT isDefined ("session.storeID")>
 <cflocation url="../index.cfm" addtoken="no">
 </cfif>
...and it goes on to run a query and verify that the session.username and session.password match for the store defined by session.storeID. If not, all session variables are cleared and it bounces you back to the login page. When the user clicks Logout, all I do is delete all the session variables.
This seemed to work great for like a year, but lately I've been getting reports that the login doesn't seem to persist for longer than approx. 20 minutes of inactivity. You can see I specified session variables to remain active for 8 hours (I know that seems like a drastically long login, but it's what's necessary for this application). I've only gotten this report from a few people, and I myself can't seem to duplicate it... I've tested an inactive login for 45 minutes now and it held.
SO: any reason you can think of why session variables would be spontaneously clearing for some people? Would having your router reset its IP address invalidate the session or something? Also, the problem seemed to begin appearing after my host upgraded all their servers to CF9... could there be any relation?
And on a more general note... did I go about this completely the wrong way to begin with? If so, what's the standard way to manage a login?
Lots of questions, I know... thanks very much for any answers or suggestions!
Joe

Ian,
Thanks very much - very helpful information.
Sounds like passing the tokens in every request is probably the way to go for this. I don't think it's likely that any users will be sharing links, unless they actually intend for the recipient to see their info anyway.
Is that all I would have to do, is add the tokens to every path? Would that guarantee that all the session variables would remain valid until timeout or being cleared?
Again, thanks, you've been really helpful.
Joe

Unfortunately this is the nature of HTTP web applications. There is NO state maintained from HTTP request to request. This is by design in the HTTP protocol specifications.
ColdFusion provides two methods to circumvent this limitation. Each method has limitations and caveats. They both rely on the passing of tokens between the client and the server with every request. These tokens can be passed as cookies OR URL (GET) variables. You are using the cookie method, which is the simpler and most common. You may be experiencing the limitation of this method. If something happens to the cookies the session can be lost.
You could pass the (CFID & CFTOKEN) OR JESSIONID tokens through the URL query string with every request. This requires one to add these values to every link, form action, cflocation or other request path in our application. ColdFusion provides the session.urltoken variable to make this easier to do. The tokens will be visible to the user. Also if the links with an individual token is share with other users, via e-mail, chat, social networks, etc and one of these users utilize the link during the life of a session (8 hours apparently in your case). Then that user will access the session of the original user.
Cookie session management is by far the most common choice by CF developers. If these methods do not meet your needs you would need to go beyond the HTTP limitations of web applications. One might be able to accomplish this with a Flex|Air|Flash applications that can be configured to use a continuous connection to the server. Thus not suffer the stateless nature of the normal HTTP request-response cycle.
I do not know if a router resetting would cause cookies to be discarded or otherwise invalidated. But I would not think it is beyond the relm of possibilities.

Using session variables

I use this session variable in an application.
<CFSET Session.CPActive = True>
I thought that the variable would be deleted when I close the
browser.
When I open a new browser window the Session.CPActive is
still defined and True!!??
Any comments on this?

Found the answer herre
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm ?context=ColdFusion_Documentation&file=00001156.htm
What is a session?
A session refers to all the connections that a single client
might make to a server in the course of viewing any pages
associated with a given application. Sessions are specific to both
the individual user and the application. As a result, every user of
an application has a separate session and has access to a separate
set of session variables.
This logical view of a session begins with the first
connection to an application by a client and ends after that
client's last connection. However, because of the stateless nature
of the web, it is not always possible to define a precise point at
which a session ends. A session should end when the user finishes
using an application. In most cases, however, a web application has
no way of knowing if a user has finished or is just lingering over
a page.
Therefore, sessions always terminate after a time-out period
of inactivity. If the user does not access a page of the
application within this time-out period, ColdFusion interprets this
as the end of the session and clears any variables associated with
that session.
The default time-out for session variables is 20 minutes. You
can change the default time-out on the Memory Variables page in the
Server Settings area in the ColdFusion MX Administrator.
You can also set the time-out period for session variables
inside a specific application (thereby overruling the Administrator
default setting) by setting the Application.cfc This.sessionTimeout
variable or by using the cfapplication tag sessionTimeout
attribute. However, you cannot set a time-out value for that is
greater than the maximum session time-out value set on the
Administrator Memory Variables page.
For detailed information on ending sessions and deleting
session variables, see Ending a session.

How to default bind variable using session variable at run time

Hi All,
I have a requirement where all VO queries (multiple VOs) produce only records that meet a certain value.
For example, I have three tables with 3 VOs and each of them has a one-to-many relationship to another table (let's call it ref table and this table has a field called release). One of the 3 VOs is a parent/master table, and the other two are child tables. I created a VO for master table that linked to the ref table and created a view criteria using the release (use bind variable) field from the ref table. The other child tables have their own VO that has view criteria that also linked to ref table using the release field.
On the UI page, I created a query component and a table from the master table VO. I also dropped the child table VOs in a tabbed panel which partial triggered by the master table. When I ran a query for a 'release' (hint: ref table value), the table for master table was filled the correct records that meet the criteria. Unfortunately, the child tables were not correct due to the query didn't use the bind variable that filter only records for the same 'release' value as the master table.
The question is how do I 'default' or dynamically set the bind variable on the child tables based on the selection criteria from the query component. I am thinking to set a session variable from the query and use it in the bind variable in the child table, but not sure how to do it.
Any suggestion how to do it or better solution to achieve the same effect?

Hi,
How about creating a custom AMImpl method, that takes parameters as required, and set the bind variables for all the desired VOs and perform executeQuery on them.
You could expose this as client interface, and then use the method as parameter form.
Check this thread for ex.

How to use session variable in JSP function & How to use both JSP Servlet

Hi,
I am new to JSP and servlets
Still I am devloping a website in JSP. I am not mixing JSP with servlets, but I do create Java files for bean, logic and database works.
I try to keep the hard coding part out of JSP.
I dont how to use both JSP and Servlets in combination.
Hence If needed I write some functions in JSP.
but it gives me error

Saying cannot find symbol session
1) So can u please tell how can I access session variables within JSP function
2) And also give me some links/tutorials about useing both JSP and Servlets in combination.

Alternate method to writing filter for recordset using session variable

I'm not sure if this can be done. I have a user page which I'd like to return database info based upon a userid entered on another page. So far, the session variable (userid) is captured on the user page however it is supposed to return the user's name rather than displaying the session variable.
My problem is this. Within dreamweaver, I am able to create recordsets however I cannot create a filter. The connection works. At this point, I am searching for a workaround where I can tie in the session variable to recordsets. I should make mention that whenever I update the sql statement using the recordset widget, my recordset disappears. ? At any rate, heres a sample of the code sans connection strings, etc.
<%
Dim Recordset1
Dim Recordset1_cmd
Dim Recordset1_numRows
Set Recordset1_cmd = Server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Command")
Recordset1_cmd.ActiveConnection = MM_newuniversity1_STRING
Recordset1_cmd.CommandText = "SELECT name FROM table WHERE userid = '" & Session("userid_my") & "'"
Recordset1_cmd.Prepared = true
Set Recordset1 = Recordset1_cmd.Execute
Recordset1_numRows = 0
%>
On the user page, I have a 'Welcome' and the following code
{Request.userid_my}
Any suggestions? I'm afraid I'm a newbie to asp within dreamweaver cs3.

>When I insert request.userid_my code it returns the session variable
AFAIK, session variables are not part of the request object - so I do not understand why you are referencing them this way. I would use the standard reference method : Welcome <%Response.Write(Session("username"))%>
>when I insert the recordset associated with 'name' I get an Adobe End of file error. ?
Sounds like a possible problem with your installation. You may need to try reinstalling DW. How are you "inserting" this recordset and when does the error occur?
Regarding your next post...
>select name from table_name where userid = '" & namemy & "'"
>The statement consistently returns a 'quoted string not properly terminated' error.....
The select statement you quoted is obviously not complete. If you are refering to the select in your OP:
Recordset1_cmd.CommandText = "SELECT name FROM table WHERE userid = '" & Session("userid_my") & "'"
I see nothing wrong with that syntax and the string appears to be terminated correctly. If there is a different statement causing the error, please post the entire line and include a line above and below.

Need Help With Redirect That Uses Session Variable

I am new to dynamic sites, php, and developer toolbox, but I have been able to create a login site using the different form wizards fairly easily (in CS3 with Developers toolbox).
 
 I am trying to set a server behavior on a page that redirects the user to a new page if a session variable matches a recordset.
 
 I was using an extension (PHP Sessions - http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&extid=681308 ) that worked great, but when I installed developers toolbox, it stopped working (get error message about runtime/MX environment).

 header ("Location: ../firstname/firstname1.php");

Using Session Variable with Conditional Formatting Filter

Hi,
I'm trying to add a condition to my report in order to flag all opportunities that have a close date that is in the past. The way I'm trying to do this is by adding a condition to say when close date is less than current_date, flag the column with an image.
Issue I'm having is that the filter window within conditional format tab appears to not have the session variable option as you do when you create a filter on a column the normal way. A colleague told me to use an SQL expression, but again this option seems to be unavailable too within the conditional format tab.
Can anybody assist please?
Thanks

Create a new column and write a CASE WHEN condition like case when close date < current_date then 'Y' ELSE 'N' END.
Then on your actual date column, you can do conditional analysis based on the newly created column for values having Y then the image.
finally, you can hide the newly created column.

Using Session Variable in the Column Level Security

My Question -
1. I created an initialization block with initialization string by calling a new session variable CTP_ID_LIST in the sql command, given appropriate database connections and when I exit out of Block, and chosen Row-wise initialization. I do not see a new session variable created under variables list. Why does this happen? Please help me on this.

Hi,
This happens when you select Row-wise Initialization.
The row-wise initialization feature allows you to create session variables dynamically and set their values when a session begins. The names and values of the session variables reside in an external database that you access through a connection pool. The variables receive their values from the initialization string that you type in the Initialization Block dialog box.
You can also use the row-wise initialization feature to initialize a variable with a list of values. You can then use the SQL IN operator to test for values in a specified list.
Example: Using the table values in the previous example, you would type the following SQL statement for the initialization string:
select 'LIST_OF_USERS', USERID
from RW_SESSION_VARS
where NAME='STATUS' and VALUE='FULL-TIME'
This SQL statement populates the variable LIST_OF_USERS with a list, separated by colons, of the values JOHN and JANE; for example, JOHN:JANE. You can then use this variable in a filter, as shown in the following WHERE clause:
where TABLE.USER_NAME = valueof(NQ_SESSION.LIST_OF_USERS)
The variable LIST_OF_USERS contains a list of values, that is, one or more values. This logical WHERE clause expands into a physical IN clause, as shown in the following statement:
where TABLE.USER_NAME in ('JOHN', 'JANE')

Use SESSION variable in URL from HTML region

Hello,
I have what looks like a simple question but i've been struggling with it for three days now, and i need your help!
I have a page, with an HTML region. I want to display some links to other pages within the application, so i thought i'd use this:
a href="http://server.xxxx.com:7777/pls/htmldb/f?p=114:13:&SESSION"
But the session ID is not interpreted, and the link doesn;t work. Any idea what's wrong here? or how i should create links with the session id in it?
