Passing Session variable of DATE data type to opaque view filter

Hi Everyone,
Can you guys please help me in passing session variable of DATE data type in RPD's physical layer 'opaque view' filter for Oracle database
I tried following syntax, syntax wise I didn't got getting any error, but at the same time this opaque view is not fetching any records as well. my session variable is "END_DATE" and its value is 1998/12/31:00:00:00(as shown in RPD session windows, datatype is DATETIME)
SELECT AMOUNT_SOLD, CHANNEL_ID, CUST_ID, PROD_ID, PROMO_ID, QUANTITY_SOLD, TIME_ID FROM SH.SALES
WHERE TIME_ID =TO_DATE( 'VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.END_DATE)','MM/DD/YYYY')
SELECT AMOUNT_SOLD, CHANNEL_ID, CUST_ID, PROD_ID, PROMO_ID, QUANTITY_SOLD, TIME_ID FROM SH.SALES
WHERE TIME_ID = TO_DATE( 'VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."END_DATE")','MM/DD/YYYY')
SELECT AMOUNT_SOLD, CHANNEL_ID, CUST_ID, PROD_ID, PROMO_ID, QUANTITY_SOLD, TIME_ID FROM SH.SALES
WHERE TRUNC(TIME_ID) = TO_DATE( 'VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."END_DATE")','MM/DD/YYYY')
In past, I was able to pass a session variable into a opaque view filter using DATEOF function, but that was in DB2.
I appreciate your time and help

Finally, I got right format. here it is
to_date(substr('valueof(NQ_SESSION.END_DATE)',1,10), 'yyyy-mm-dd')
and here is the source from where I got this information

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.

Passing session variables

Hello....
I have created a simple form that populates with data from a SQL db. I'm connecting fine, but only pulling data from the initial record. I'm trying to have users click "print form" from an .asp page that passes a session variable, then opening my livecycle form with their specific data. Can't get a SQL Query "select" statement to query to that single file.
Is it possible to query the data on my form from a session variable via asp vbscript?
Thanks

Hi, Simson:
I just bumped onto this post of yours. After reading it several times, I could not understand exactly what you meant still. Maybe you can use a few more lines or an example to show what you want.
By they way, as far as I can remember, it is against j2ee spec to share session between web applications, if that is what you are driving at.

Problem passing Session variable as URL parameter?

Hi,
I am trying to create a multiple page entry form using
coldfusion session. But I am having some problem when passing the
session variable to url parameter. For test purpose I have created
the following code:
<cfif Not IsDefined("SESSION.AE")>

<cfset SESSION.AE = StructNew()>

<cfset SESSION.AE.StepNum = 1>
</cfif>
<cfif IsDefined("Form.GoBack")>
<cfset SESSION.AE.StepNum = #url.StepNum# - 1>
<cfelseif IsDefined("Form.Next")>
<cfset SESSION.AE.StepNum = #url.StepNum# + 1>
</cfif>
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body>
<form method="post"
action="/AE/try.cfm?StepNum=#SESSION.AE.StepNum#">
<input type="submit" name="GoBack" value="Back">
<input type="submit" name="Next" value="Next">
</form>
</body>
</html>
When run it I get the following error:
The value "" cannot be converted to a number
The error occurred in C:\CFusionMX\wwwroot\AE\try.cfm: line
11
9 : <cfset SESSION.AE.StepNum = #url.StepNum# - 1>
10 : <cfelseif IsDefined("Form.Next")>
11 : <cfset SESSION.AE.StepNum = #url.StepNum# + 1>
12 : 
13 : </cfif>
I couldn't figure out where is the problem. Any help is
really appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

You are mixing up your gets and posts aren't you?
You have your form method set to post which creates form
variables not
url variables. So when you try to use the url variable to set
your
session it does not exist.
Change your SESSION.AE.StepNum = #url.StepNum# to
Session.AE.StepNum =
form.StepNum, note there is no need for the #'s.
OR
change your form method="post" to form method="get"

Passing Session Variable from PHP to Applet

I'm trying to pass a session variable from a PHP script to a third party applet. The applet needs to accept the variable as a string into a parameter. I think the htnl has to be dynamically created to turn the session variable into a string for the parameter value. Any suggestions ?

This is really a PHP question. You might get better results on a PHP forum.

How to pass session variables via the URL in CF10?

Hi
I have a client with some old Flash functionality (AS2). The SWF allows the user to upload an image. However a new session is being started when the upload script is called. I have added the CFID, CFTOKEN and JSESSIONID to the URL as I did in the past to maintain the session but I believe you cannot do this anymore with CF10, if this is correct can anyone point me in the right direction of how I would accomplish maintaining the session for the upload?
This has a note about CF 10 - http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1178420
Kind regards

Hi Shaun
Are you facing the same issue with all the browsers?

Session variable in obiee 10g

Hi i have requirement like this i would like to display the Ename, empno, Hiredate, leavedate,salary. Here i would like to pass the session variable for the salary column which returns multiple values and the report should change based on the date i am selecting from the prompt.
EX: Let's say from the prompt if select hiredate this date should pass into the report and the session should change.
I have created session intiallization block and for the target i have selected row wise.
select 'var1', salary from emp where hiredate<='VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.var1)' .
But in the answers when i passed this 'var1' for the salary column it says no value for the 'var1'. please let me know how to pass session variable when we have selected the target as row-wise.
Thank you,
ch.

Finally got population of the WEBGROUPS variable work (using row-wise initialization with caching turned off)...
but now I see that if I remove a group from my table, they are not "unassociated" with the web catalog group. The group still "sticks" there.
Thoughts?

Session variable

I created a period status session variable which i want to use as a filter in answers. This variable takes note of the last closed period (month - YYYYMDD) when the accounting team closes it in their books. I currently have open periods taking the values of the last closed period and so the client wants these open periods to be removed from the report until the period in closed with accounting hence the use of a filter on the period (month) column. I used this filter eg Time."Fiscal Period" <= VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."CURR_PER_OPEN") but it is producing this message:
The specified criteria didn't result in any data. This is often caused by applying filters that are too restrictive or that contain incorrect values. Please check your Request Filters and try again. The filters currently being applied are shown below.

Hi,
Try it like this..
Set the default using logical SQL. Select <presentation table>.<presentation
column> from <subject area> where
<presentation table>.<presentationation column> =
valueof(NQ_SESSION.<session variable>)

How do I insert a session variable into a record?

I can’t figure out how to insert the value passed by a
session variable into a record.
I have a form I want to use to insert a record. I pass
session variables to this page and want to insert one of them into
the record. The session information is:
session_start();
$_SESSION['usename'] = $_POST['username'];
$idvar = $_SESSION['id'];
$_SESSION[‘id’] is the user_id that I want to
insert into the record.
I know $idvar is getting to the page with the form because I
can echo it.
The insert code looks like this:
if ((isset($_POST["MM_insert"])) &&
($_POST["MM_insert"] == "register")) {
$insertSQL = sprintf("INSERT INTO h_genres (user_id,
username, contrib_to, Advertising, Annual_Reports, Leader_Content,
Member_Content, Brochures) VALUES (%s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s,
%s)",
GetSQLValueString($_POST['user_id'], "int"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['username'], "text"),
GetSQLValueString($_POST['contrib_to'], "text"),
GetSQLValueString(isset($_POST['Advertising']) ? "true" :
"", "defined","'Y'","'N'"),
GetSQLValueString(isset($_POST['Annual_Reports']) ? "true" :
"", "defined","'Y'","'N'"),
GetSQLValueString(isset($_POST['Leader_Content']) ? "true" :
"", "defined","'Y'","'N'"),
GetSQLValueString(isset($_POST['Member_Content']) ? "true" :
"", "defined","'Y'","'N'"),
GetSQLValueString(isset($_POST['Brochures']) ? "true" : "",
"defined","'Y'","'N'"));
mysql_select_db($database_hauw, $hauw);
$Result1 = mysql_query($insertSQL, $hauw) or
die(mysql_error());
I have a hidden field for the user_id:
<input name="user_id" type="hidden" id="user_id" />
I think I need to get the value in $idvar into user_id but I
don’t know how.
Any help is appreciated.

The session variable has no value definition

Hi Gurus,
For all Dashboard reports and Adhoc reports suddenly we are facing the below error for some users
A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 23006] The session variable, NQ_SESSION.AREA, has no value definition.Please have your System Administrator look at the log for more details on this error. (HY000)
In those dashboard reports we are not using any Area prompts even if we take only area column in analysis also it is showing the same error. But for admin the reports are coming fine only for some users it is showing like that but previously it was fine.
Regards,

Hi,
this means your init block is not working. Check the init block why its not resulting in any data.
only when init block doesn't not result in data , server checks for default value for the variable.
Since there is no default value, you get this error.
Init blocks can fail because
1. connection pool is not working.
2. The table or view does not exist
3. no data in the table
4. filter in the sql in init block is not initialized if its coming from another session variable.
typically no data should bring no results in a report.
Since you have a session variable being part of the report, and that variable failed to initialize you get this error.

Session Variable in Physical Layer

Hi All,
I am trying to use session variable in Physical layer i mean in select statement like select region,revenue,year from ABC where siteid ='VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."siteid")' but it throws a warning saying that
WARNINGS:
GLOBAL:
The repository variable, NQ_SESSION."siteid", has no value definition.
even though I gave value is zero for not exisiting site in init block but it is still throws same warning.
is there anything i am doing wrong.Please can you give ur valuable suggestions .
Thanks for ur replies!!!!!!!!1

Thanks for replying!!!!!!!
I checked it.There are no values in it even though i forced some dummy values(i.e it's everthing plain).I dont whether we can pass session variables values in Physical Layer or they can be only used in BMM Layer.
This is what i did
select 'siteid',site_id from xyz as a where upper(a.loginname)=upper(:user) union select 'siteid',0 from dual and then pass the values in physical layer
select e,r,t,,u,i from ABC where siteid ='VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.siteid){Note:Its just example don't think about column names or tables names}
Please correct if i am doing anything wrong.
Thanks

Read a session variable

I have set a session variable "var1" in the pagedef using ADFUtil.setEL("#(sessionScope.var1)",myValue);
How do I read this session variable, "var1" in select statement in a View Object please?
Thanks

Do NOT try to access the variables stored in a scope in a view controller project directly in the Model layer. It breaks the MVC paradigm.
For your use-case,
1) Create a View Object with a View Criteria that has a single bind variable.
2) Have a method in AMImpl that takes a single parameter and applies the View criteria for the View Object Instance in 1) by setting the value for the bind variable with the input parameter and execute the View Object and expose this method through client interface.
3) Use this method in ViewController project and Invoke the method.
