Possible to reference a session variable in customMessages.xml?

In customMessages.xml, I put in this code:

<WebMessage name="kmsgChangePasswordLink">
<HTML>
<a href="http://www.somelink.com?someThingToPass=BISessionVariable">Change Password</a>
</HTML>
</WebMessage>Is there a way to reference a BI session variable within customMessages.xml somehow?

John,
You make a good point. So I can't do this in customMessages.xml... can I make a change somewhere else that would accomplish this? Basically I want to be able to bring in the content of a session variable into the 'My Account' page. Does anyone know if this can be done?

Referencing session variables in customMessages

Can someone assist me with referencing session variables in a customMessage? For example, they following customMessage from productMessages.xml does not appear to work:
<WebMessage name="kmsgProductPortal"><TEXT>Customer Dashboards - @{biServer.variables['NQ_SESSION.variable1']} </TEXT></WebMessage>
Any help is appreciated.

Is it Possible to Create System Session variable

Hi Gurus,
I am creating a new Session variable but it is created under non-system variable. Is it any way to create a System Session variable. I am using User and GROUP the defualt Session System variable, i want to creat a new one for my requirement. Is it possible to do it? If so please give me some steps todo.
Thanks in advance
Regards
@li

Hi
as far my knowledge, it's not possible...
All system variables are predefined.. if you want to define anything you will have to satisfy with Non-System variable
But curious, why do you want to create session variable there only???

Web session variables in Begin_SQL

Is it possible to access web session variables using @variable (or any other means) from within a Begin_SQL? In particular, we want the end-user's IP address (not the IP address of the BO server).

Magesh,
Are you using OC4J ? In OC4J, by default http sessions are store in memory and not in DB and you cannot use pl/sql to cleanup the sessions.
You can set the session timeout parameter in the web.xml to cleanup sessions.

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

Set up a Session Variable

Hi,
How to setup a session variable of User id in PHP in
Dreamweaver Style. Is it possible to assign the session variable
value equal to user id from the recordset......if yes i need the
procedure. Thanks in advance.

There is no "Dreamweaver style" for setting up a session
variable. You
do it in exactly the same way as for any PHP page. Put this
at the
beginning of the page:
session_start();
Retrieve the value that you want from the recordset and
assign it to a
session variable like this:
$_SESSION['user_id'] = $row_recordsetName['user_id'];

Select Column using Session Variable

I have set a session variable to hold the name of a column
dependent on who the user is. Is it possible to use a session
variable to select a column in a database table? If so, how? Does
it need a where statement?
Something like this?:
<cfquery name="rsSelectColumn" datasource="Test">
SELECT Column 1, Column 2, Column 3 = Session Variable
FROM tbl_data
</cfquery>
Thanks,
Dave

I think you want to do this, if the value in the session
variable is the actual column name:
<cfquery name="rsSelectColumn" datasource="Test">
SELECT Column 1, Column 2, #Session Variable# AS Col3
FROM tbl_data
</cfquery>
this way you can call any column stored in the session
variable, and it will always be usable from the QUERY as COL3
regardless of what column you used.
If that is what you want to do - it IS that simple.
Sometimes we over think things too much.

"Go Back" whilst adding SESSION VARIABLE?

Is it possible to add a SESSION VARIABLE at the same time as one operates a "Go Back" link?
My site covers information for three towns. The names of the towns are the possible SESSION VARIABLES. In the absense of a SESSION VARIABLE I plan to divert to a page where the user selects a town form the list of three links. I am trying to make this link add the selected town-name as a SESSION VARIABLE and also operate the "Go Back" link so that the target page now receives a SESSION VARIABLE.
I tend to use php and in this case I am making use of a Go Back javascript, but cannot work out quite how to make it work, or if it is possible.
I'm using DWmx2004.

Thanks for the ideas.

You can use javascript to save info on a cookie and use go back button. Then you can use the info from the cookie to write to session variable on the page you went back to. Depending on what you're doing there may be security issues involved using this method.
That sounds interesting. Security is not an issue here, but I've not used cookies before. Could you either explain how that would be done, or point me to an explanation (and example) somewhere, please?

Personalization Server: Reference session variable in cm:select

<%=String X=(String)session.getAttribute(y)%>
How do we get X into a cm:select tag?
I attempting to do a query and want to pass X into it.
Tried doing <%=X%> and it's causing a JSP compile error.
So, I guess I need to know how to pass a session variable into the query of a CM:SELECT
tag?
Thanks,
Mark

Hello Mark,
A coworker of mine created a sample that I tested with an in-lined String variable for
the "query" attribute. It works fine. I suspect that you may have other problems. For
instance, I don't think <%= String X=(String)session.getAttribute(y)%> is legal. The <%=
%> is supposed to contain a java expression, like <%= (String) session.getAttribute(y) %>
Also, double-quotes within an expression can be problematic, such as <%= (String)
session.getAttribute("y") %>. The best way to handle this would be to assign the session
attribute to a String and then inline the String with: <%= myValue %>.
Here is a working sample (that does not use a session variable, but that does not matter
- it uses a String:

<%@ taglib uri="cm.tld" prefix="cm" %>
<%@ taglib uri="es.tld" prefix="es" %>
<%@ page import="com.beasys.commerce.content.ContentHelper" %>

<br>
<%
String newsQuery = "type = 'news'";
%>
<cm:select contentHome="<%=ContentHelper.DEF_CONTENT_MANAGER_HOME%>"
query="<%= newsQuery %>"
sortBy="heading ASC"
id="newsline" cacheId="news_lines"
cacheTimeout="300000" useCache="true" />
<es:forEachInArray array="<%=newsline%>"
id="newsBL" type="com.beasys.commerce.axiom.content.Content"
counterId="i">
<br>
<% out.println((i.intValue()+1) + ") "); %>
<cm:printProperty id="newsBL" name="heading" encode="html" default="Error" />
</es:forEachInArray>

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.

Workspace or Security ID session variable

Hello -
Is it possible to get the Workspace or Security Group ID from a session variable (e.g., v('WORKSPACE') ) so that I can use it to automatically create a user in my application without hard-coding?
For instance, here is some of my code...I'd like to avoid hard-coding <WORKSPACE>.
WWV_FLOW_SECURITY.CREATE_FND_USER(
WWV_FLOW_ID.NEXT_VAL,
WWV_FLOW_SECURITY.FIND_SECURITY_GROUP_ID(<WORKSPACE>),
P_USERNAME,
P_FIRST_NAME,
P_LAST_NAME,
'Auto-created',
P_EMAIL_ADDRESS,
P_PASSWORD
Basically, I am trying to allow users to create their own profiles from within the application itself. I have a custom page which calls the code above more or less, then redirects the user to the login page to let HTML DB take over authentication. Is there a better way to do this?
Thanks!
Dave

David,
To get back the ID of the current workspace, you can reference v('WORKSPACE_ID').
Note that this function v() is only usable in the context of an HTML DB application. You can reference this function directly in an HTML DB application or PL/SQL packages called by your PL/SQL application. But if you connect to your database directly from SQL*Plus and reference v('of_anything'), it should return null.

To pass new session variable value to stored proc before running a report.

Hi,
Below is summary of the report requirement -
Database level design
1. Created a view and a global temporary table (GTT)
2. Created an Oracle package procedure to accept from and to business dates on basis of which it will fetch, process and populate the GTT.
Repository level design
1. Created a business model containing the view and the GTT (mentioned above)
2. Created two SESSION variables "from_dt" and "to_dt" to be initialized by their respective init blocks. Each of the variable is initialized with a DATE column value (of type DATETIME) from a database lookup table. I have also set the option "Enable that variable to be set by any user" for both variables.
Query for these variables :
from_dt = select from_date from <table>
to_dt = select add_months(from_date,12) from <table>
Presentation level design
1. Using a text box, i display the default/initialized values of these variables like this -
Current business date:@{biServer.variables['NQ_SESSION.from_dt']} Future business dt:@{biServer.variables['NQ_SESSION.to_dt']}
Dates get displayed in YYYY-MM-DD 00:00:00 format
The text msg displays these default dates and allows the user to specift different date range for which i create prompts as shown below.
2. Using any random two columns of date type from the business model, i create two date dashboard prompts with labels "From Dt" and "To Dt".
i select Calender Controls for both; setting Default To = Report Defaults.
The Set Variable is set to Presentation variables - such that pv_from_dt maps to "From Dt" and pv_to_dt maps to "To Dt".
3. i create the report using the business model created above. In the report "Advanced Tab" => "Prefix" field i specify the following -
SET VARIABLE from_dt='@{pv_from_dt}',to_dt='@{pv_to_dt}';
Note : The logic here is to display the default dates and allow user to specify different date values which will be stored in presentation variables.
If the user does specify different "from dt" and "to dt" values, then using the presentation variables, i want to "write" back these new values to the corresponding session variables mentioned above.
If the user does not specify different date range, then the default/initialized dates must be considered.
I also display the default and new date values in the report title.
Back to Repository level design
To execute the stored procedure that will load the GTT before running the report I need to pass two date parameters to the stored procedure on basis of which it will fetch data, process and populate the GTT.
In the Connection Pool --> Connection Script Tab --> Execute before query, I wrote the below query using the repository variables FROM_DT and TO_DT to execute the procedure -
DECLARE
v_from_dt date;
v_to_dt date;
BEGIN
v_from_dt := VALUEOF(From_Dt);
v_to_dt := VALUEOF(To_Dt);
package_name1.package_body(v_from_dt,v_to_dt);
END;
Now when i try to run the report i get the following error :
[nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 23006] The session variable, NQ_SESSION.to_dt, has no value definition. (HY000)..
Need help on this.
Is it possible to "write back" a new value to a session variable ?
Any other alternatives.
Thanks
Nusrat

Sandeep, I found a several topics where users describe saving values in DB through stored procedure or function. For example, [How to store OBIEE presentation level variable values in DB |http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=892006] I tried it and get an error
*10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 17001] Oracle Error code: 14551, message: ORA-14551: cannot perform a DML operation inside a query ORA-06512*
It's not a BI error. This error are generated by Oracle DB. If I write next:
SELECT MyPLSQLFunction(p1,p2) FROM DUAL
I get the same error.
Oracle doesn't allow DML operations in SELECT.
Did you relalize this feature yourself? Where did I mistake?

Passing attribute value in session variable

Hi All
I need to store one field value from my SIM form as a session variable and pass them to the next page along with my session, using some jscript stuff or else. Does this make sense?
If it is possible or anyone have any prior experience please reply.
Thanks in advance

We have tested a code-snippet that 'gets' attribute-values from the session:
<invoke name='getAttribute'>
    <invoke name='getHttpSession'>
        <ref>:display.state</ref>
    </invoke>
    <s>attribute_name</s>
</invoke>You can try 'setAttribute' in the similar way.
Thanks,
Adi

Javacard and session variables

Hello,
I'm trying to find a reasonable Javacard technique to handle "session variables" that must be kept between successive APDUs, but must be re-initialized on each card reset (and/or each time the application is selected); e.g. currently selected file, currently selected record, current session key, has the user PIN been verified...
Such variables are best held in RAM, since changing permanent (EEPROM or Flash) variables is so slow (and in the long run limiting the operational life of the card).
Examples in the Java Card Kit 2.2.2 (e.g. JavaPurseCrypto.java) manipulate session variables in the following way:
1) The programmers group session variables of basic type (Short, Byte, Boolean) according to type, and map each such variable at an explicit index of a vector (one per basic type used as session variable).
2) At install() time, each such vector, and each vector session variable, is explicitly allocated as a transient object, and this object is stored in a field of the application (in permanent memory), where it remains across resets.
3) Each use of a session variable of basic type is explicitly translated by the programmer into using the appropriately numbered element of the appropriate vector.
4) Vector session variables require no further syntactic juggling, but eat up an object descriptor worth of permanent data memory (EEPROM or Flash), and a function call + object affectation worth of applet-storage memory (EEPROM, Flash or ROM).
The preparatory phase goes:
public class MyApp extends Applet {
// transientShorts array indices
    final static byte      TN_IX = 0;
    final static byte      NEW_BALANCE_IX=(byte)TN_IX+1;
    final static byte      CURRENT_BALANCE_IX=(byte)NEW_BALANCE_IX+1;
    final static byte      AMOUNT_IX=(byte)CURRENT_BALANCE_IX+1;
    final static byte   TRANSACTION_TYPE_IX=(byte)AMOUNT_IX+1;
    final static byte     SELECTED_FILE_IX=(byte)TRANSACTION_TYPE_IX+1;
    final static byte   NUM_TRANSIENT_SHORTS=(byte)SELECTED_FILE_IX+1;
// transientBools array indices
    final static byte      TRANSACTION_INITIALIZED=0;
    final static byte      UPDATE_INITIALIZED=(byte)TRANSACTION_INITIALIZED+1;
    final static byte   NUM_TRANSIENT_BOOLS=(byte)UPDATE_INITIALIZED+1;
// remanent variables holding reference for transient variables
    private short[]     transientShorts;
    private boolean[]   transientBools;
    private byte[]      CAD_ID_array;
    private byte[]      byteArray8; // Signature work array
// install method
    public static void install( byte[] bArray, short bOffset, byte bLength ) {
         //Create transient objects.
        transientShorts = JCSystem.makeTransientShortArray( NUM_TRANSIENT_SHORTS,
            JCSystem.CLEAR_ON_DESELECT);
        transientBools = JCSystem.makeTransientBooleanArray( NUM_TRANSIENT_BOOLS,
            JCSystem.CLEAR_ON_DESELECT);
        CAD_ID_array = JCSystem.makeTransientByteArray( (short)4,
            JCSystem.CLEAR_ON_DESELECT);
        byteArray8 = JCSystem.makeTransientByteArray( (short)8,
            JCSystem.CLEAR_ON_DESELECT);
(..)and when it's time for usage, things go:
    if (transientShorts[SELECTED_FILE_IX] == (short)0)
        transientShorts[SELECTED_FILE_IX] == fid;
    transientBools[UPDATE_INITIALIZED] =
        sig.verify(MAC_buffer, (short)0, (short)10,
            byteArray8, START, SIGNATURE_LENGTH);I find this
a) Verbose and complex.
b) Error-prone: there is nothing to prevent the accidental use of transientShorts[UPDATE_INITIALIZED].
c) Wastefull of memory: each use of a basic-type state variable wastes some code; each vector state variable wastes an object-descriptor worth of permanent data memory, and code for its allocation.
d) Slow at runtime: each use of a "session variable", especially of a basic type, goes thru method invocation(s) which end up painfully slow (at least on some cards), to the point that for repeated uses, one often attain a nice speedup by caching a session variable, and/or transientShorts and the like, into local variables.
As an aside, I don't get if the true allocation of RAM occurs at install time (implying non-selected applications eat up RAM), or at application selection (implying hidden extra overhead).
I dream of an equivalent for the C idiom "struct of state variables". Are these issues discussed, in a Sun manual, or elsewhere? Is there a better way?
Other desperate questions: does a C compiler that output Javacard bytecode make sense/exists? Or a usable Javacard bytecode assembler?
Francois Grieu

Interesting post.
I don't have a solution to your problem, but caching the session variables arrays in local variable arrays is a good start. This should be only done when the applet is in context, e.g. selected or accessed through the shareable interface. This values should be written back to EEPROM at e.g. deselect or some other important point of time. Do you run into problems if a tear happens? I don't think so since the session variables should be transactional, and a defined point will commit a transaction.
Analyzing the bytecode is a good idea. I know of a view in JCOP Tools (Eclipse plugin) where you can analyze the bytecode and optimize it to your needs.
