Pull variable from outside of OBIEE?

Hi,
say I have a .NET, Java or Javascript form which I embed in OBIEE simply by having the web form in a OBIEE portal as embedded content.
Is it possible to get a report to 'see' the variables in the form??
thanks for your time,
Robert.

Hi Joe,
my 'requirement' is more that I have on a single OBIEE page;
1. Non OBIEE web form which is dual purpose; -
a. To act as parameters to restrict and remodel data in results of 2 below.
b. On press of a button <Store Result> the web form stores the data and effects a mass data change based on paramters and modelling values
2. A simple OBIEE report which has its data restricted cf 1a above and its data remodelled cf 1b above
Ideally I would like to do it all in OBIEE but (I am in 10g - please tell me if you think 11g changes the picture significantly); -
1. Prompts are okay, but not flexible enough for what I am trying to achieve
2. Postback is okay, but I would like pre-database validation - I can do it via a trigger, but there is no way to propogate back error messages and I would rather prevent errors with the web form, than need to prevent them
Hence my reason for considering this hybrid solution, BUT - please suggest if you think there is a vastly superior way to do this??
thanks for your input,
Robert.

Applescript "go to" command or pull variables from script?

Is there a "go to line" command in Applescript? I want to be able to create a dialog box to jump back to the previous box if a mistake was made. I don't want to do a repeat because that will cause multipule chained repeats and it won't work. I tried creating seperate scripts and that works fine for jumping around within the program. But the variables get lost when a new script is ran. is there a way to bring variables from other scripts into one script?

This is what I have right now. as you can see there are 3 variables that carry the needed info. U
ltimatley I'd like to have about 8 variables, all with different info.
I can do a repeat for each one until something is entered, but I cant do a back command for each entry.
That's the purpose for the "run 'script'" line in each section. I'd have to do a repeat inside of a repeat and then overlapping repeats.
It won't let me do overlapping repeats. what's the solution?
run script fn
script fn
          set first_name to ""
          set fName to display dialog "first name" default answer "" buttons {"cancel", "next"} default button "next"

Call variable from outside method

I have a method for a listSelectionListener with a variable in it called "results", I want to be able to get the information from this variable outside of this method. In my main class alled "gifts" I have a TextArea and I want "results" to be displayed in it but I can't get results into it because it's in a seperate method. Anyone know how I can do this?
Heres some relevant code:
public Gifts()

Declare you variable at the class level instead of the function level, then you can see if from any method in the class.

Installing infinity- pulla cable from outside? or ...

Hi, I am using BT total broadband now and wish to upgrade to infinity
however, I am renting house only now and the landlord won't allow too many alternation with the house.
May someone tell me when installing infinity, will a hole be drilled to pull a cable
or simply alter the original bt socket inside house? if so, can socket upstair be the master socket?
and will there be problem for next renter if i move out? and do I just simply tell bt about the moving and install again?
and do the phone work as the total broandband and phone now or need to plug into the phone socket separately?
Many Thanks

The only difference is that the BT engineer will install a different faceplate on your BT master socket.
It shouldn't cause any problems with your landlord.

Is it possible to set a variable in a program from outside before calling

Suppose I have a program as follows
Report Program1.
data: prog1data(10) type c.
start-of-selection.
perform Prog1Form.
form Prog1Form.
write: prog1data.
endform.
Now if I have another program which calls the Prog1Form from outside, is there some way I can set value of variable prog1data from my second program before I call Prog1Form routine e.g
Report Program2.
start-of-selection.
->>>>Somehow set the variable prog1data in Program1 ?
perform PROG1FORM in PROGRAM1.
Will give points for the right answer. Thanks for reading.

OBIEE 11g How to pass variable from one prompt to another prompt in dashboard page.

How to pass variable from one prompt to another prompt in dashboard page.
I have two prompt in dashboard page as below.
Reporttype
prompt: values(Accounting, Operational) Note: values stored as
presentation variable and they are not coming from table.
Date prompt values (Account_date, Operation_date)
Note:values are coming from dim_date table.
Now the task is When user select First
Prompt value “Accounting” Then in the
second prompt should display only Accounting_dates , if user select “operational”
and it should display only operation_dates in second prompt.
In order to solve this issue I made the
first prompt “Reporttype” values(Accounting, Operational) as presentation
values (custom specific values) and default presentation value is accounting.
In second prompt Date are coming from
dim_date table and I selected Sql results as shown below.
SELECT case when '@{Reporttype}'='Accounting'
then "Dates (Receipts)"."Acct Year"
else "Dates (Receipts)"."Ops
Year" End FROM "Receipts"
Issue: Presentation variable value is not
changing in sql when user select “operation” and second prompt always shows
acct year in second prompt.
For testing pupose I kept this presentation
variable in text object of dashboard and values are changing there, but not in
second prompt sql.
Please suggest the solution.

You will want to use the MoveClipLoader class (using its loadClip() and addListener() methods) rather than loadMovie so that you can wait for the file to load before you try to access anything in it. You can create an empty movieclip to load the swf into, and in that way the loaded file can be targeted using the empty movieclip instance name.

Unable to connect to the server to pull data from mysql

Hello,

Hello Jdesko,
Thank you for you prompt response. Yes, I have changed the connections variables in my dataservice ( I didn't post real values). You are right, after all I didn't make changes on the gateway.php except to add some tracking points. The one that I changed is the amf.config,ini. The application runs without any error exceptions, but don't populate the datagrid. According with the tracing is stoping just when establishing the connection to the database. Please let me know if you have any other clue. thanks

Pull data from a table in HTML format from external URL into a Servlet

How do I pull data from existing website html table into a Servlet?
I will need to pull the data into a servlet. So, the servelet will need to go to the URL and get the data and save them as variables.
I know I will need an array to store the data. I just dont know how to call the URL and have the servelet search the site for the <table> </table>.
I will later use this to save to a database.
Thanks

How to pass a variable from one class to another class?

Hi,
Is it possible to pass a variable from one class to another? For e.g., I need the value of int a for calculation purpose in method doB() but I get an error <identifier> expected. What does the error mean? I know, it's a very, very simple question but once I learn this, I promise to remember it forever. Thank you.
class A {
int a;
int doA() {
      a = a + 1;
      return a;
class B {
int b;
A r = new A();
r.a; // error: <identifier> expected. What does that mean ?
int doB() {
     int c = b/a; // error: operator / cannot be applied to a
}Thank you!

elaine_g wrote:
I am wondering why does (r.a) give an error outside the method? What's the reason it only works when used inside the (b/r.a) maths function? This is illegal syntax:
class B {
int b;
A r = new A();
r.a; //syntax error
}Why? Class definition restricts what you can define within a class to a few things:
class X {
    Y y = new Y(); //defining a field -- okay
    public X() { //defining a constructor -- okay
    void f() { //defining a method -- okay
}... and a few other things, but you can't just write "r.a" there. It also makes no sense -- that expression by itself just accesses a field and does nothing with it -- why bother?
This is also illegal syntax:
int doB() {
      A r = new A();
      r.a; // error: not a statement
}Again, all "r.a" does on its own is access a field and do nothing with it -- a "noop". Since it has no effect, writing this indicates confusion on the part of the coder, so it classified as a syntax error. There is no reason to write that.

Is it possible to pass a variable from one animation to another?

I have multiple animations on the same page. I need to pass a variable from one to the other.
Animation One has this:
sym.setVariable("myVarOne", 1);
Animation Two has this:
var myVarOneInTwo=Edge.getComposition("EDGE-12345678").getVariable("myVarOne");
Seems like it should work, but kinda hard to tell. I put in:
console.log("myVarOneInTwo = " + myVarOneInTwo);
But I get: Javascript error in event handler! Event Type = timeline
So it seems that it doesn't like getting a variable from another animation.
Is there a way to pull a variable from one animation into another?

Sorry also had to fix this:
var myVarOneInTwo=Edge.getComposition("EDGE-12345678").getVariable("myVar One");
To this:
var myVarOneInTwo=Edge.getComposition("EDGE-12345678").getStage().getVariable("myVar One");

_global variable lost outside of function?

Vexing riddle: why are my global variables undefined outside
of the functions that use them?
Loading XML file and creating arrays from the child nodes.
Like this:
var modules:Array = this.firstChild.childNodes;
_global.moduleContents = new Array();
for (var i = 0; i<modules.length; i++) {
_global.moduleContents.push(modules
.attributes.contents);
then I have another function that recursively extracts each
index from _global.moduleContents array and pushes them into a
_global. pageContents array. (see attached code)
I made sure to use _global. in front of all global variables.
The code workd flawlessly in itself. I am able to trace the whole
array or single array indices from within the functions.
But they are undefined outside of the functions! I checked to
make sure there is no local variable of the same names - in every
case I use _global before the variable name.
The crazy part of it is I tried testing some simple functions
with global variables in a new movie to understand the scope issues
and they worked fine!
function messages() {
_global.greetings = ["hello", "hi", "how are you?"];
function sayHi() {
_global.greetings.push("how goes it?");
sayHi();
messages();
trace("this is outside: "+_global.greetings);
Why not in this:

Gotcha, what is happening is that you call a loading script
that basically works in the background of other scripting
operations, you can call multiple load actions and they will all
execute at the same time, because you have your trace call after
the load action and you are not waiting for that file to be loaded
you are getting an 'undefined' var.
You may want to put something in at the end of all of your if
(success) statements like
_global.docstructureLoaded = true;
checkLoadStatus();
then say this on your next load function;
_global.pageContentsLoaded =true;
checkLoadStatus();
then in your root area
checkLoadStatus(){
if(_global.pageContentsLoaded==true && .... ){
//when all your loads are done do this ...
Just to make sure that you arn't calling any other functions,
or moving your timeline ahead before your data gets to the right
place.

Any idea. Thnaks in advance

Hi,
Hope you have private external IP than dynamic which changes every now and then you can this:
P <Public ip> * 3299 or P <Public ip> SID_IP 3299
Also look for your the logs for saprouter and your router logs if this not works.

Row Level Security - Data filter - Roles Variable Not working in OBIEE 11.1.1.7.1

Hi all,
Previously, we were using OBIEE 11.1.1.5.0 and we were able to assign users to application roles by using the initialization block to assign the ROLES session variables.
1. My USER_SECURITY table in Oracle database:
USER_NAME | USER_ID | ROL
user1       | 1723    | GobalDataRole
user2       | 1739    | GobalDataRole
user3      | 1743    | GobalDataRole
2. The SQL query in my session initialization block:
select USER_NAME, USER_ID, ROL
from USER_SECURITY
where USERNAME = ':USER'
3. The row-wise initialization option is not checked.
4. In the Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control, we created new application role: GobalDataRole and sync with rpd.
5. The GobalDataRole is used in the RPD to filter the data under permissions --> data filter. GobalDataRole only has access to Country A data.
6. Result: under my account, also in rpd Manage --> Sessions, user variable details
User_name , user_id & Rol variable is working fine as expected,
When we log in as user1, we can see in My Account, user assigned to: BI Consumers; Authenticated Role; GobalDataRole
When we log in as user2, we can see in My Account, user assigned to: BI Consumers; Authenticated Role; GobalDataRole
When we log in as user3, we can see in My Account, user assigned to: BI Consumers; Authenticated Role; GobalDataRole
User1, User2, and User3 are able to see the data correctly according the their data access setup.
Now, we using OBIEE 11.1.1.7.1 and using the same method, but we not able to assign users to application roles by using the initialization block to assign the ROLES session variables anymore.
Result:
User_name & user_id variable is working fine as expected, but the ROl variaible is not capturing the DB value,
When we log in as user1, we can see in My Account, user assigned to: BI Consumers; Authenticated Role
When we log in as user2, we can see in My Account, user assigned to: BI Consumers; Authenticated Role
When we log in as user3, we can see in My Account, user assigned to: BI Consumers; Authenticated Role
User1, User2, and User3 can see all data (which is wrong) because they are not assigned to the correct application role that sets the data restriction/filter.
Has anyone encountered the same issue? Any advice on how to solve this?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks user10615659   ,
- Yes the variable ROLES available in OBIEE 11.1.1.7.1
- Tested the init block and variables in offline rpd its working as expected.
- In online rpd, except ROLES and GROUP variable remaining variables working fine.
- Verified log file in both online and offline init block testing - the init block execution is successful.
Thanks

Simple Task - Syntax Question (how do you pass variables from one component to another component - databinding)?

Hi all,
I'm trying to pass some width/height/URLs from a Video Player component to a Social Bookmarking component's embed text input field. (for people to grab and share videos).
I know this is a simple task, but it's the end of the day and I seem to be having a brain failure... What's the syntax to achieve this? Do I have to import the video player component? These widths/heights/URLs are all being dynamically generated from an XML... should I be pulling it from the XML or just reuse the variables that already exist in the Video Player component?
Here's my code...
Video Player:
[Bindable]
public var source:String = "";
[Bindable]
public var autoPlay:Boolean = false;
[Bindable]
public var fullScreenMode:Boolean = false;
[Bindable]
public var clipTag:String = "_movie";
[Bindable]
public var iag_code:String = "";
[Bindable]
public var officialURL:String = "http://www.movies.com/";
[Bindable]
public var referer:String = "unknown";
[Bindable]
public var gID:String;
[Bindable]
public var starterImageURL:String = 'http://www.movies.com/jazzmaster/images/default_starter_image.
[Bindable]
public var oldWidth:Number;
[Bindable]
public var oldHeight:Number;
Sharing Component:
<mx:HBox
height="10%"
horizontalCenter="-25"
verticalCenter="0"
paddingBottom="5">
<mx:Text text="Embed Code:" paddingTop="1" color="#FFFFFF" fontSize="12"/>
<mx:TextInput text="{oldWidth}"/>
</mx:HBox>
The code above throws an error... "Attempted access of inaccessible property oldWidth through a reference with a static type com:SharingBookmarks."
Thanks all!
DK

Try this..
create a new flex project and add a folder called "src"
create a new MXML component named "VideoComp.mxml" and copy/paste
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:VBox xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" width="400" height="300">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
[Bindable]
public var videoWidth:int = 300;
[Bindable]
public var videoHeight:int = 300;
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:Label text="Vidoe" />
<mx:TextInput text="{videoWidth}" id="w" change="this.videoWidth = int(w.text);" />
<mx:TextInput text="{videoHeight}" id="h" change="this.videoHeight = int(h.text);" />
</mx:VBox>
create a new MXML component named, "SharingComp.mxml" add copy/paste this..
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:VBox xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" width="400" height="300">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
[Bindable]
public var videoWidth:int;
[Bindable]
public var videoHeight:int;
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:Label text="Sharing Comp." />
<mx:Label text="{videoWidth}" />
<mx:Label text="{videoHeight}" />
</mx:VBox>
and here is the main.mxml file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
xmlns:src="src.*">
    <mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            private function doSomething():void
             sharingComp.videoHeight = videoComp.videoHeight;
             sharingComp.videoWidth = videoComp.videoWidth;
        ]]>
    </mx:Script>
   <src:VideoComp id="videoComp" />
   <mx:Button click="doSomething()" label="copy" />
   <src:SharingComp id="sharingComp" />
</mx:Application>
Hope this helps,

How to access a variable from within a symbol.

How do I access a variable set outside a symbol from within that symbol?
Thanks

If you set a variable on stage ,say
sym.setVariable("stageVariable", "I am stage variable");
You can access it from within a symbol using :
var myVariable = sym.getComposition().getStage().getVariable("stageVariable");
Basically you need to get handle to the symbol in which the variable is defined.

Pull variable from outside of OBIEE?
