Request variable not overriding session variable in report filter
I have a dashboard edit prompt that saves value into a request variable with same name as session variable.
The session variable has "enable any user to set the value".
I have a filter in the report that has been converted to sql where the transaction date is greater than the value entered in the prompt.
I see the "SET Variable" clause at the top of the sql being sent to the server in the logs.
However, when I am in "View Logs", I see that the sql that is being sent to the database is sending the original value of the session variable instead of the new value in the request variable.
I have tried using VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.variablename), VALUEOF(variablename), VALUEOF("Dynamic Initialization Block Name"."variablename"), @{biServer.variables['NQ_SESSION.variablename']} with no difference.
What am I doing wrong?

How to use request variables rather than session variables
Are there any good examples? , I am constantly adding too many session variables in the fear they will get 'crossed over'.
Like when you spawn new windows.
how to refresh a page when the variable was passed on the URL.?
A guide with all the varible passing methods woulbe be great.

The problem is when the page is reloaded when a button is pressed for example, the URL variables are gone.
I know to to retrieve the variables, just having problems putting it all together.
I'm trying to avoid using session varibles.

Variable or Substitution String in Interactive Report Filter
Background: I have an application that has a number of customized Interactive Reports where the Filter on the reports is set to a custom company name. When I install the application, I do not want to go through the reports and change the filter for the new company's name. The filters I need to change are all set by LOVs.
Question: Is there a way that I can do one of the following:
- associate a Filter with a Variable or Substitution String such that I can set that variable or string on login and then the user always sees the correct Filter displayed in the Interactive Report?
- or is there a code method to update a sql apex table behind the scenes to reset the Filter to the new value. So that I could run that after installation as part of a customization / set-up time?
System Info: 4.1.0.00.32
Thanks,
Stephen
I used the IR_FILTER function, and while it allowed for a new filter to be set. It did not save the filter after logout or for other users accessing the Primary report. I could not find a SAVE Interactive Report function. So, my question still stands on looking for a method to set and save Filters programatically.
Edited by: slsmith on Apr 19, 2012 8:07 PMHi,
I don't have access to an Apex 3 environment to check this, but I think that the Apex 4 Interactive Reports save the filters slightly differently and an attempt to mimic that functionality using IR conditions would fail.
The only alternative I can think of right now is to have an additional column that returns 0 or 1 - eg:
SELECT FIELD1,
FIELD2,
FIELD3,
CASE WHEN (FIELD1 IS NULL OR FIELD2 IS NULL OR FIELD3 IS NULL) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END INCLUDE_NULLS
FROM YOURTABLEand then apply a filter to INCLUDE_NULLS = 1

How do I prepopulate a bind variable from a session variable?
Hello. I have a scenario where I have a customer Id I need to set as the bind variable and then execute the query before the page comes up. How do I do this? Here's what I've tried (and why it didn't work)
- I tried using the 'ExecuteWithParameters' method from the view object as a method in the task flow. I would then pass in the session variable as a parameter. For some reason it can never find the executewithparameters method on the view object. I'm guessing because it wants to go through the application module
Next ...
- I created a client method in the AM call setCust Id with the following code:
public void setUserNameBind(String userName)
System.out.println("Set param:" + userName);
getFndUserVVO1().setNamedWhereClauseParam("UserNameBind", userName);
getFndUserVVO1().executeQuery();
This worked. However when I ran the debug it instantiates the VO again but with a NULL for the bind parameter. So on the screen it always has the NULL VO.
Finally ...
- I tried to put the method in the binding for the page as a method call. However, the method never got called before the page came up.
This seems like a pretty simple problem. Any ideas?
Thanks!Hi,
1 - create a bind variable and add it to the ViewObject query
2 - drag the ExecuteWithParams operation under the ViewObject (DataControl Palette) to the page
3 - this is created as a button. In the source editor (NOT THE VISUAL EDITOR), delete the button so the binding remains
4 - for the bind variable in the ExecutWeithParams, set its value to #{sessionScope.attribute_name}
5 - in the bindings file, under executables, create an "invokeAction" entry and point it to the executeWithParams operation

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:

Customer Exit Variable not working in BO-Webi Report
Hi All,
I have created a universe based on Bex Query.
Bex query consists of a customer exit variable on Calendar year/month where in it will populate current calendar year month by default while executing the query. It works fine while executing in SAP BI Bex Analyser.
I have created a universe based on the query. For Calender year/Month i got L00, L01, LOV values in universe.
Based on the universe I have created a Webi report. I did not specify calendar year/month as query filters. While directly executing the Webi report, I get the calendar year/month variable screen. But the value for it not populated based on customer Exit code written in BI.
What has to be done to get the customer exit values in variable screen.
Thanks for your understanding.
-- SelvaSince you have customer exit variable in your bex query, it will be like a global filter in your universe.
Execute the webi report and check whether you are getting only current month data.

Custome Exit Variable Not prepopulating Parameter of CRE Report
Hi
I am using a customer exit varibale to pre populate a parameter in a Bex query I have created. When I run the bex query the customer exit variable populates the parameter just as it is supposed to. However when I use the bex query in Crystal Reports for enterprise the customer exit variable does not pre populate the parameter. Is there something I need to do to make sure that CRE recognises the customer exit variable or does CRE not recognises them? If it doesn't recognise them is it possible to create CRE level Customer Exit Variable?
Many Thanks in advance
NeilHi Alun
Thanks but I'm in BW so Stored procedures are not really an option on this one. I suppose my primary question is, is there a reason that Customer Exit Variable is not working as it is creating a lot of difficulties by not populating the parameters in the same way it does in the bex query I am using to develop my Crystal report.
Thanks

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!
JoeIan,
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. -
Hi, all. I posted questions before when I was stuck, and you
all were very friendly and helpful. I am having difficulty
understanding how to create, POST() to, and then REQUEST()
information stored in session variables using Dreamweaver. I am
developing the pages using PHP, and have a MySQL database uploaded
and working. Displaying, editing, and adding to the database is
ongoing, as I type!
Adobe has thankfully started the session for me with the
<?php if(!isset($_SESSION)) { session_start(); } ... because I
have a log in/log out server behavior on the pages.
I need to add two pieces of information collected from the
page, one value of which is inputted by the user on a form, and the
other value is obtained from values from the part of the recordset
shown on the page. What I expect I need is something like a
2-dimensional array to store both sets as a pair, but while I
expect I can do this, I am really not sure. The documentation ends
before fully explaining this part.
An example of what I am trying to do is a product detail page
from an on-line store catalog, with an "add to cart" button. The
person has navigated to that page, shows the information for
productID=1497 with an input field for quantity, so a person can
order more than one of that product if they choose, and an "add to
cart" button which would write the productID and quantity values to
the session variable. Is there a simple and easy to use Dreamweaver
feature I am missing that can do this?
If I need to code this myself, are there good resources for
figuring this out? What I've found thus far is either too basic, or
too advanced. I've been using Dreamweaver's Insert>Date
Objects> menu to get everything done thus far.
Of course, once the session variables are created I will need
to $_REQUEST() the information on a later page and display it on
one of Dreamweaver's dynamic tables. I hope that once I understand
how to $_POST() the values to the session variable, $_REQUEST()ing
the information on another page will be apparent.
Also, please don't assume I know anything more than what I
wrote in my post. I may be an old school programmer, think punch
cards and FORTRAN, but I can get lost easily on things most people
nowadays think are pretty basic.I got it fixed. It took two weeks to figure out the solution,
but...
It all boils down to the fact that you can get away with
sloppy programming if your MySQL database is located on 'localhost'
that you can't get away with if it is located remotely.
Basically, you need to activate the database before you make
a mysql_query. My bad. Problem solved. And now that I know I need
to do this, problem never rediscovered.

Help building an object, setting it in a session variable and casting
Hi all,
I have a problem that I hope you can help me with. The application I am working on has a simple MVC design architecture. The problem occurs when a request is made from the application to the controller servlet. The controller servlet looks at the request type and delegates the processing to the appropriate action and model classes. The model class returns an object of a specific class type that is put into the session variable. This session variable is then cast to the appropriate class type in the jsp that renders that class. The problem is that this particular class type has an array of another class type. The array is filled in the class constructor, but is null when returned to the controller.
At run time when accessing the array I get a NullPointerException error. I can't seem to figure this one out. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Here's the code:

In my onApplicationStart method (which should tell you I'm
using an Application.cfC, not cfM), I have a cfif loop that passes
a value to a custom tag and returns a form variable. I'm then
reassigning that variable to a session variable. In IE, this works
just fine; in Firefox, though, the session variable is NOT being
set.
What might be causing this, and is there a workaround?The issue referred to an external CF custom tag, which called
another demo application to set a testing user. However, after
further testing, I realize that demo app won't function properly
with this application, so I've removed it.
Authentication is being set by an LDAP query; this
application that I am working on is going to be a sub-application
of a larger application, and the authenticated user is being set as
a session variable as well (I think...). However, I'm creating a
new session variable for this application, and simply passing the
authenticated user into my app (the outer app uses the variable
auth_user; I'm using the variable authuser, so there is no name
conflict).
Again, it is IE that is not persisting the session. Firefox
is doing so. I have looked in the advanced settings for IE, and
there is nothing about persisting session variables to check or
uncheck. Also, this application will probably be used mostly by
users using IE 6 with default settings, so I'm going to need to
find a workaround for IE.
Your help is most appreciated. -
Selection variable not working properly on portal
Hi,
We have a report in which Survey is a selection variable(Not a mandatory variable). If I select Two or more surveys simultaneosuly in the initial selection screen, then the Portal is not displaying the data. PFB screenshot of the selection.
If I select the same two surveys individually in the selection screen, then the portal outputs the result. If I execute without selecting any survey and then apply a filter (after the output is generated) for those two surveys together, then also the data is displayed properly.
Kindly note that this report is being used by German users and the problem exists only when the Language preferences of the portal is changed to German. With English Language Preferance, the selection variable works properly.
Please suggest if anybody has faced a similar issue
Regards,
KeerthanHi Lakshmi,
The texts are maintained for those survey values and even with German Language Key, still not getting the output.
If i select them individually, then I am getting the output.
For instance, I have selected the surveys "0000084001" and "0000090001" together in the selection screen(I have inserted the Pic in the original post, but i am sorry it is not clear in that) and not getting the output or it hungs up in the execution state.
If i select the same survey "0000084001" only, then I get the output.
This is the same case when I select only "0000090001".
This scenario is only with German Preferance.
If i change the preferance to English and select these two surveys together, then it outputs the result.

What is session variables in BSP
Hi
I am using using IC Webclient. can anyone help me to findout the details about session varibales ?
Best Regards
Bhavishyahi,
Session variables is a handy way to define a persistent variable.The standard variables used in ColdFusion can be only transferred or sent to the next page before it is necessary to restate the variable. In some situations, you may want to define a variable that will apply to all the pages during a single session of the user. An example is when the pages a user sees are personalized to his or her specific needs. In such a case, session variables are defined and used.
Session variable persistent
A session variable is one of several types of variables that persist across multiple templates:
>Server variables - Accessible by all clients and applications on a single
>Application variables - Tied to a single application and accessible by multiple clients
>Client variables - Tied to a single client over multiple sessions
>Session variables - Exist for one client or browser during a single session
>Cookie variables
Session variables are designed to hold information that you seldom write but are read often.
Defining session variables
Session variables are normally defined in the Application template, but can be also defined on all applicable pages.
Application template
The standard method of using session variables is to define them in the application.cfm template, which is a special ColdFusion page that is processed before the other pages in a session. It usually should be in the session root directory.
CFAPPLICATION tag
To enable the use of session variables, as well as client and application management, you should use the CFAPPLICATION tag in the Application template. A typical tag would be:
<CFAPPLICATION NAME="Name"
SESSIONMANAGEMENT="Yes"
SESSIONTIMEOUT="#CreateTimeSpan(0, 0, 20, 0)#">
where:
>NAME is required to avoid problems if you have session variables tied to separate applications.
>SESSIONMANAGEMENT is required to enable the session variables.
>SESSIONTIMEOUT is optional and limits the time the variables will stay in memory (20 minutes in the example) Note that the default is 20 minutes, so you really may not need this unless you want to change that number.
Setting variables
After the CFAPPLICATION tag, you can set your session variables, using the CFSET tag. You must always refer to session variables with the prefix session. Thus, you could define a session variable, such as:
<CFSET session.name="#form.othername#">
Should lock variables
You should lock the session variables to avoid problems when several people are using the system at the same time. An example of this is:
<CFLOCK TIMEOUT="30" NAME="#session.sessionID#" TYPE="Exclusive">
<CFSET session.name="#form.othername#">
</CFLOCK>
Defined on applicable pages
A problem in using the Application.cfm template is that it is often difficult to change your session variables, once they have been set. An alternative is to use the CFAPPLICATION tag in each applicable page:
<CFAPPLICATION NAME="Name"
SESSIONMANAGEMENT="Yes">
You then can define the session variable in the first page, accessed:
<CFOUTPUT QUERY="return">
<CFSET session.ID="#ID#">
</CFOUTPUT>
This is a compromise between the standard method and defining the variable on each page.
Example of use
Suppose a user logged in to the site. His name could be sent through a form and entered in Application.cfm. Then the session will constantly refer to him by name.
Application.cfm
<CFAPPLICATION NAME="Name"
SESSIONMANAGEMENT="Yes">
<CFSET session.name="#form.othername#">
Start.cfm
<CFOUTPUT>
<H1>Hello #session.name#</H1>
</CFOUTPUT>
