Session Variable Displaying error in report

Hi All,
I have created session variable to display Current AP Closed Period. Variable is etup as row wise intialization. Default values are assigned.
While using this variable in report filter - I am getting below error message. Please let me know what mistake I am doing.
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 23006] The session variable, NQ_SESSION.CPG_AP_PERIOD_CLOSED, has no value definition. (HY000)
SQL Issued: SELECT Time."Fiscal Period" saw_0 FROM "Financials - AP Transactions" WHERE Time."Fiscal Period" = VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."CPG_AP_PERIOD_CLOSED") ORDER BY saw_0
Thanks,
Poojak

Session variables are related to a users session. This means it will be initialized when a user logs into OBIEE. Apparently the session variable wasn't initialized for your user. I don't know why, but you should check the NQServer.log file.

Data display error in reports

Hi,
I've a serious problem. I've developed a new database.I've imported a .dmp backup file into my user from my previous database which was same although only certain new options have been added in the new database. The problem is I'm able to view all data but when i try to retrieve old data through reports, they aren't being displayed.If i enter any new data, they are displayed through reports but not the old data that were in the .dmp files.
What could be the error?

Session variable usage in report title

Is there a way to add session variable s_x in the report's title text?
What is the correct syntax?

Hi,
I tried using @{biServer.variables['NQ_SESSION.varname']} in the narrative view and it seems to working fine and showing value without any decimals.
You can try below:
Write this statement - @{biServer.variables['NQ_SESSION.varname']} in the column fx. Say its the first column.
Then, in your narrative view, write as below and set the no. of rows to 1.

I have a dashboard prompt where i am selecting Name , but i want to find out the ID of that name .
that ID i want to pass to a column Fx , to achieve this i created a intermediate report and i got the ID. Now my problem is how do i set this ID in session variable .
Please help if anyone knows...

Did you read this:
how to set session / presentation variable in repository variable
Dashboard prompt on Month Name but report filter on month ID:
Re: Dashboard prompt on Month Name but report filter on month ID needed
If you have dashboard prompt (name) then you may have only one report that is filtered by name but show id or not show id but use id in the function. Or two reports like in the solution in the second link above and the second report has id in the function and filter by id from the first report. You don't need to set this ID in session variable for this example.
Please close your previous threads if they are answered.

Can you pass a session variable in a CFC bind?

I have a page (dsp_compReqSCM.cfm) that (via a session variable) displays an application value. From this page (via a CFFORM) I would like to have that session variable passed along to a cfc(getDistinct.cfc). I can't quite get the syntax correct and am hoping to get some assistance. When I code #session.this_appl# in dsp_ReqComps.cfm, I get an error stating Element not found PTS (which is the value of session.this_appl) and that the bind cannot occur. If I pass session.this_appl (NO ##) in dsp_ReqComps.cfm, I get an error stating Element not found session and that the bind cannot occur.   If I pass 'session.this_appl' or "session.this_appl" in dsp_ReqComps.cfm, I get an error stating Element not found 'session (or "session) and that the bind cannot occur.
dsp_compReqSCM.cfm calls dsp_ReqComps.cfm via cfform

Any advice you can give is greatly appreciated!
Libby H.

@Libby H
There are 2 things.
1) The name of the component the grid binds to(distinctComponents) is different from the name of the CFC(getDistinct).
2) Session variables are also available to components. There is therefore no need to pass them explicitly to a function. In any case, it is always advisable to test for the existence of a session variable before using it.
Your code would then be something like
<cfform>
     <cfgrid name="componentsGrid"
             format="html"
             pagesize=10
             striperows="yes"
             bind="cfc:distinctComponents.getDistinct({cfgridpage},{cfgridpagesize },{cfgridsortcolumn},{cfgridsortdirection})"
             selectmode="row" >
         <cfgridcolumn name="Component_type" header="Component Type" width="400">

Unable to filter a recordset using a session variable

I have a volunteer application page and when the volunteer presses <Submit> their info is saved in a MySQl db table and a session variable is created containing the primary key of their record in the table, control is then passed to a "success page". The success page can access the session variable (I proved this by displaying the session variable on the success page) so my next step was to create a recordset in the success page with a filter using the session variable to select the appropriate row in the table, allowing me to display to the volunteer the info they submitted.
I set up a test success page which displays the session variable and one field of the volunteer info. When I test this I see the session variable displayed but the corresponding volunteer info field from the recordset is not displayed.
The volunteer application page is here www.hollisterairshow.com/volunteerapp.php and the successpage is here www.hollisterairshow.com/thanksvol.php
The code that creates the session variable in the volunteer application page is shown below
$_SESSION['volunteer_id'] = mysql_insert_id();
The code to display the session variable in the success page is shown below
<?php echo $_SESSION['volunteer_id']; ?>
The code to display the volunteer info is shown below
<h1> Thank You <?php echo $row_rsVolunteerApp['firstname']; ?>!! </h1>
The recordset definition is shown below
The success page test result is shown below, as you can see the volunteer's first name is not displayed immediately after the "Thank you" message but the session variable holding the correct primary key (41) is shown correctly.
Does anyone have an idea of what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks
Tony

Where did you put session_start()? It needs to be before the variable is accessed. It's obviously before the line that displays the value in your page, but is it before the SQL query is generated?
Also, have you checked in phpMyAdmin to see whether volunteernumber 41 has any values in the database?

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?

Session Variable in filter view error

Hello,
My prompt is defaulted to current 12Weeks. I used session variable in the prompt to capture 12 Weeks (Current Week and Current+12).
so the default value is @{biServer.variables['NQ_SESSION.PERIOD_STDATE']} where PERIOD_STDATE is my session varible.
I am using a filter view to display the filters being applied.
When the user opens a tab, the filter view is throwing error
***The syntax of the expression to be evaluated is invalid.***
***Expression: @{biServer.variables['NQ_SESSION.PERIOD_STDATE']}***
My report is running fine. I just have the date column as prompted in my report request.
When the user hits go button on the prompt then the filter view comes up just fine.
What is that I am doing wrong? Why does the filter view gives result after hitting GO button?
Please help.
thanks,
deep

Hi,
1. Set the default using logical SQL. Select <presentation table>.<presentation column> from <subject area> where <presentation table>.<presentationation column> =valueof(NQ_SESSION.<session variable>)
2. You dont have to write the exact syntax for entering the session variable in the default values. You just need to use the session variable name after selecting the session variable type in the drop down.
Hope this helped/ answered.

Using row-wise multi-value GROUP system session variable in report filter

The title says it all except I am using 10g OBIEE.
What I want to do is filter on the dynamic system session variable GROUP created in a row-wise initialization block.
The GROUP vriable is being set up correctly and it shows the user dynamically put into the correct groups in Answers.
(Using the admin tool and looking at the user session, only the initial authentication block variables show up.)
But if I want to filter using the value of GROUP it doesn't work.
The obvious way is to choose the filter icon, then choose Add -> Variable -> Session, enter GROUP, and then display results.
It comes back with no rows.
Any idea how to do this? I've tried lots of things but none of them work either producing no rows or an error.
This is the kind of Answers SQL this report is resulting in, which makes sense to me, but produces no rows.
SELECT "Package Virtual Group (Dim)"."Package Virtual Group" saw_0, "Contact (Fact)"."Contacts All Count" saw_1 FROM "Case/Transaction/ABC" WHERE "Package Virtual Group (Dim)"."Package Virtual Group" = VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."GROUP") ORDER BY saw_0

Errors come from trying things that don't work.
For example, instead of =, using IN VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.GROUP) or @{session.GROUP} or lots of other things.
The question is this:
how can I filter a column in Answers using the GROUP session variable which had been initialized in a row-wise initialization block?
I can find no way to do it. Mostly it returns no rows.Hi,
we had a similar requirement, where we have an external name that has project number values. We used row wise initialization to capture all the projects that a user belongs to. Then, we applied the filters at the RPD level, instead of doing it at the report level. From you requirement I see that you are trying to filter the groups based on user login. When a user logs in, he will see the information about the groups that he only belongs to. Correct me if I am wrong here.
Assuming I am right about your requirement, providing the filter that you need apply in RPD.
On all the fact tables are joined to the Package Virtual Group dimension, apply the below filter.
case when 1=1 then (Dim)"."Package Virtual Group" END = VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."GROUP");
The reason for use of case statement here is, it converts the logical sql to IN Clause, helping us acheive the exact query that we would want.
Please Award points if this helps.

Session variable reference in report title.

Can someone suggest me a answer for my problem?
I want to display the report title by with the logged in username. So, I've created a report and in the 'Edit View' of 'Title'view of that report, i just placed '@{NQ_SESSION.user}' in the Sub title section. But instead of displaying user name in the report subtitle, i have it displayed '@{NQ_SESSION.user}'. Can someone tell me where am doing wrong?

I Apologize stijn. I should have done that!! Will do it from next time.
The thread you referenced have 2 ways:
1.@{biServer.variables}
2.@{session.serverVariables}
I have tried with both like @{biserver.user} and @{session.user} placing them inthe report title view. These 2 doesnt work and giving me the same old result- displaying the same code!! :(
Am i doing any wrong here in referencing the variables??
Daan,
I followed the John's like and it was not helpful either!! :(
Actually, John was referencing it through column and later hiding that column. Am not sure which column to select here. So, i took one column and applied the formula and hide that column. But, its throwing error saying that the valueof{session.user} doesnt exist!!
Since am new to this technology, can you guys guide me?

Session variable causing ADODB.Field error '800a0bcd'

Displaying Session Variable on Dashboard & creating presentation variable

Hi.
I read a bit more on mysupport and it seems that :xdo_user_roles somehow displayes all kind of roles not the ones that the user acutally belongs to.
Now I wonder if I can use NQ_SESSION.GROUP in the BI Publisher data model.
(A)I figured that I can create a "list of values" in the data model and there I can select Oracle BI EE as a data source. maybe in the repository I can create a column that holds the nqsession_groups that I then use in the data model sql. assuming I can use a list of values in the sql.
(B) or I pass it as a parameter to the report/data modell just like a normal dropdownlist parameter (presentation variable)
Then I tried adding a text item on the dashboard with
@{biServer.variables[NQ_SESSION.USER.displayName]}
or
Session Variable My Year : @{biServer.VARIABLES['v_USER_GROUPS']} *
BUT none of them actually display any variables. :/
*this one I created in the repository and has the correct values

When I remove "authenticated-role" from the BIConsumer Role in EM and visit my dashboard again I can see that the user is ONLY in role "AuthenticatedUser" now I wonder why this is the only one, I created a custom role in EM and added the user to that one but it does not show :/

Printing a Web Report Using Firefox Results in Lost Session Variables

Post Author: AVXFlyer
CA Forum: .NET
I'm having a problem with Firefox users printing a Crystal Report from a web site.
The first page of the web site collects information to be used in the report generation, for example, start date, end date, type of report etc. These are all various text boxes, drop down lists, radio buttons and check boxes. When the user clicks to show the report, everything works fine and the first page of the report will display. The code behind this page takes care of saving al the session variables into hidden fields on the page so the settings will be accessible when the user clicks to view the next page of the report.
On clicking to view the next page of the report, everything is still fine and the process works beautifully and I've had no problems.
A new problem has surfaced during the printing of these reports. Users who use IE6.0 or IE 7.0 do not have a problem, however, users who use Firefox do have a problem.
It seems that the print dialog which appears as part of the the Crystal web control manages to 'lose" the variables which were present on the calling page. It only does this with the Firefox browser. Calls on postback to retrieve the variables from the hidden fields result in 0's or empty strings ("").

Can't explain it, but here are a few tests;
1) Try to print a saved data report
2) Try to print a report that is not using parameters
3) Try a different printer driver as "default"
4) Enable the option "Dissociate Formatting Page Size and Printer Paper Size" on the report
5) What format do you export to?

Can i use session variable VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.USER) in write back report?

Hi All,
I have created a write back report and successfully inserted records into a table.
Now i want to capture the user who has inserted in to the table.
Till now i have given edit option to the users on USERNAME column.
But now i want to capture the user automatically.
when i user VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.USER), i can capture the Logged in user in USERNAME col and the moment i execute the report it is throwing an error.
What i observed is....
In the advanced tab USERNAME col is changed to VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.USER).
is there any workaround for this?
Thanks

>>I have a session variable assigned to the ID#(auto
number in access db) of messages posted.
I not sure if I follow your in the description. I would
assign the Record ID to the session variable.
Place the Record id in the repeat region.
Then you could assign that record id to a session variable
when the button is click, capture the button click event. Then
redirect to the EMPLOYEEMessageDELETE1.asp page, which will read in
the session variable (record id) to be deleted.
