Session Variable is not filtering

Hi All,
I have created a seesion variable intialization block using the following query and selected row-wise initialization.
SELECT 'STATE', CUST_STATE_PROVINCE FROM SH.CUSTOMERS WHERE UPPER(CUST_LAST_NAME) = UPPER(':USER')
This returns me with the State Province for each user. Now I created a user named 'Walsh' and assigned him to a group and for the group I have given the following filter.
SH.CUSTOMERS.CUST_STATE_PROVINCE = VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."STATE")
Now, the issue is, when I logged in as 'Walsh' it should show me only states related to this user, but it is showing me all the records, even for other users.
(I also tried using VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.STATE) instead of VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."STATE") but it didn't work)
What is it that am missing here. Kindly guide me
Thanks in advance,
Imtiaz.

Hi Imtiaz,
Could you verify that the variable has indeed a value? You could check via the Session Manager in the Admin Tool. You could also check the Query Log to verify whether the Initialization Block is working like expected.
Thanks.

Function to get session variable is not working

I created a report based on the following sql query:
SELECT EMPNO, ENAME, JOB, MGR, HIREDATE, SAL, COMM, DEPTNO FROM SCOTT.EMP
WHERE DEPTNO = empcust.current_deptno
empcust.current_deptno is a function which returns the value of the session variable. However, nothing gets returned. The value of the session variable is not found.
I know that the session variable is being set b/c i have a procedure that sets it and prints out the assigned.
This is my code for the current_deptno function. If anyone can help, i'd greatly appreciate it!
procedure current_deptno
return VARCHAR2
as
v_Session portal.wwsto_api_session;
v_Return VARCHAR2(20); --DEPT.DEPTNO%TYPE;
begin
v_Session := portal.wwsto_api_session.load_session('PORTAL','SESS_EMP');
v_Return := v_Session.get_attribute_as_varchar2('DEPTNO');
htp.p('Return session var'||v_Return);
RETURN(v_Return);
end;

Session variables is not recognized in my CFC

Hi,
I got a very weird problem today! I have created a simple
login page ( username as an email and a password). This is post to
the same page where I verify from a query if the username and
password are valid. Once the query returns a RecordCount greater
than 0, I create session variables to store the first name and last
name of the user. I can see actually the session variables from a
CFDUMP at that level.
Since I am developping an application that will mix
ColdFusion (mostly CFC) and Flex 3, I have created a CFC where I
store functions needed for the Flex application. One of the
function is fGetUserInfo where I try to collect the information I
previously store in the session scope from the login - such as the
first name. The system stop right there with an error saying that
the session variables are not defined while I have the session
variables appear at the bottom of the debug information in the same
page. This is starting to be over my knowledge and I must missing
an information to resolve this - in other words, I need your
help!!!
I include some code to understand that the problem is not a
mispelling!!! ;-))

I tried to change the savings of the user's information into
cookies instead of the session scope but it does the exact same
error (except it says Element TECHNICIANID is undefined in COOKIE).
In fact, after a little break, I started to think about the
method to access the functions inside the CFC. As it is remote, I
though that it might have a sense of no life on the session scope.
Than I though about the idea to transfer all the informations to
the client with Cookie. CFCOOKIE work fine and I was kind of
animated by my idea! I coded, I tried and it failed. I used at
first the default value of the CFCOOKIE which consists to reside on
the memory like a session but disapear when the user close his/her
browser. So after the first fail I change the expiration for 30
minutes but it failed again and for the same reason: Element
TECHNICIANID is undefined in COOKIE.

Reports containing session variables do not cache

I have a general report that is filtered using information from session variables, for example which teamleader or supervisor the user has to tailor the report.
BUT the problem is that any request with a session variable in it from Answers does not hit the cache.
Actually they do cache but only for that user, not across users. Even when I preload the cache with the report with no filtering, it is not used by subsequent filtered requests.
Question:
- it is possible to get the report to cache when the session variable is used on the Answers side?
- if not does caching happen if used in a WHERE clause in the logical or physical layers
Otherwise, how to do get this to work?

Thanks for your reply.
The problem is this. Imagine you have a table say of the number of calls that each user has made and users belong to teams, so you have a table like this:
team, user, # of calls
You also have a session variable containing the team for that user.
What I do is have a where filter that filters the table depending on the session variable against the team, so each user only sees data relevant to their team.
This works OK but there is a caching problem.
If I don't do filtering and just have the report with all the data in it, then that is cached.
If I then run the same report but with the session variable filtering on, then it doesn't hit the cache even though it is a subset of the first request.
If you have 10s of teams each with say 20 reports, then that makes 200 requests whereas really it should just pick up the first super-table that is cached.
I will do more tests but I simply couldn't get it to pick up the cached copy.

Filter view with session variable does not display value properly.

Hi All,
I have a very unique issue and I am not sure if anyone ran into this before.
I have a prompt in my dashboard and a link to a report. The session variable default the value to the current value (term)
when I click the link to the report I get the following value, on the filter view of the report: Term Code Desc is equal to NQ_SESSION.CSA_Analysis_Term
however if I click the go button in the prompt I get the value: Term Code Desc is equal to 2030 (2011 Spring)
does anyone have a solution to this issue
thanks

Hello,
Have the same issue. Any solution. Gurus plz help.
thanks,

Non-system session variable is not initializing

Hi,
I have created a non-system session variable using Row wise initialization, and using it in answers to filter a column. it is displaying below error
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 23006] The session variable, NQ_SESSION.Visible_All_Offices1, has no value definition. (HY000)
I have tried all possible ways like giving the session variable in SQL result set, giving with quotes and without quotes. In all ways it is throwing the same error.
I think this variable is not getting initialized when starting the session, is there any way to check it. this variable is also not showing in Manage > Sessions > Variables in OBIEE Admin.
Please reply, if anyone faced similar issue. I am trying this from last 2 days.
Thanks,
Ash.

When you run this sql query against the database, are you seeing results? and why are you using non-system session variables for this? Session variables are usually used to retrieve data into variables based on the user login.
Check the following things:
1) In variable target, make sure the row-wise initialization is checked.
2) Make sure the cache option is UN-checked
3) Run the sql against the database and make sure it is retrieving results.
4) Try this in init block:
select distinct 'Visible_Regions', NVL(Regions, '0') from SH.Regions_Dim A inner join SH.USER_Table B on A.employee_ID = B.employee_ID;
-Amith.

hi all,
thanx a lot for your help,specially hari52
hari52 strangely enough the code started working,but
now i have another problem
after a while my server hangs or gets shutdown ,a
message is shown as
"java.exe has generated error and will be shutdown"
i know that more connections can be a prob. but i
make sure that connections r closed on each page,also
i am a newbie and do not have the time at present to
learn abt. connection pool ,can this problem be
solved easily?
it would be a great help again on your part,
thanx again,You remove the System.exit(1) line from the code inside the catch block
and try again. That's the reason tomcat getting down. System.exit(1) should not be used inside jsp. it will make the underlaying Servlet Engine to shutdown.

Session variables is not getting updated in JSP

Hi Floks,
I had a situation where in i need to populate the drop down depending on the action perfomed by user in menus.
An action method is triggered to load the scneario specific values to drop down

   PSSBuilder pssbuilder = new PSSBuilder();
            pssbuilder.getPlanTypesForCreateScenarioSnapshot(this,"S");
            getCCMPPSessionBean().setSelectedPlanType("0");

Session variable not storing in custom trigger

I have a custom trigger in which I want to store a session variable , so i can use the value in the insert transaction which happens after. But for some reason the session variable is not stored, resulting in the data not being stored.
any clues would help.
rudi
here are the relevant code:
//start Trigger_Custom_Subject_Mentor trigger
function Trigger_Custom_Subject_Mentor(&$tNG) {
//Check subject exists
@session_start();
$_SESSION['sb_id'] = $subject_id;
//end Trigger_Custom_Subject_Mentor trigger
// Make an insert transaction instance
$ins_share = new tNG_insert($conn_smart);
$tNGs->addTransaction($ins_share);
// Register triggers
$ins_share->registerTrigger("STARTER", "Trigger_Default_Starter", 1, "POST", "KT_Insert1");
$ins_share->registerTrigger("END", "Trigger_Redirect", 90);
// Add columns
$ins_share->setTable("`share`");
$ins_share->addColumn("share_item", "NUMERIC_TYPE", "POST", "share_item");
$ins_share->addColumn("share_subject", "NUMERIC_TYPE", "SESSION", "sb_id");
$ins_share->setPrimaryKey("share_id", "NUMERIC_TYPE");
// Register triggers
$ins_share->registerTrigger("STARTER", "Trigger_Default_Starter", 1, "POST", "KT_Insert1");

$ins_share->registerTrigger("END", "Trigger_Default_Redirect", 99, "share.php?item_id={share_item}");

hi User,
1) Pull a dummy column in Fx use the Session variable --->(Variable -->session )
2) Next, goto narrative view in Narrative view section use @1
3) If u want you can hide the column that we created in criteria section

Session variable getting reset when leaving dashboard

I have created a session variable with the 'Enable any user to set the value' option. I'm using the session variable as the default for a dashboard prompt. I'm able to set the variable with that dasboard prompt, and I can confirm that it is indeed getting set properly. So the interaction of the variable and the prompt seems to be in order.
After I make a selection from the dashboard prompt, as long as I stay in the dashboard, the session variable stays set to my selection. I can move from page to page and everything is fine. The selection stays put as I have set it. However, the moment I leave the dashboard, the session variable is reinitialized back to its default value as specified by the SQL in its initialization block. I can go from dashboard to catalog and back to dashboard - boom, it's back to the default. My selection has been replaced. ???
And here's an odd thing: I can look in the query log and see the initialization block code getting run when I log in. So far, so good. I can run the dashboard, make a prompt selection, and see the query log updated just fine. Still OK. BUT... when I switch from dashboard to catalog and back to dashboard, the value of the session variable is reset (I see the default month in my analysis and as the prompt default upon redisplay of the dashboard page), but there's no indication in the query log that the initialization block SQL ran again. The last SQL in the query log still shows my "selected" value in the SQL. The dashboard page is showing the "default", while the last entry in the query log shows the "selected".
Can anyone else confirm this odd behavior? And is there a reason that a session variable should not retain its value throughout the session? I've always viewed session variables as little buckets of single-cell data whose contents are consistent and static for the duration of a session, unless manually changed by a dashboard prompt. If the behavior that I'm seeing is both replicatable and expected, it would appear that my understanding is flawed.
Running 11.1.1.7.0 on Windows Server 2008. Same behavior is occurring in both Firefox 21 and IE 9.

Thank you for your answer MK,
I try to write a SQL in my prompt but not work for me:
-In default selection I choose SQL Results and I type: Year(Current_date) and save my prompt and I don't see any value in my dashboardpage, if I click in prompt I can see all members of my year dimension but by default is empty.
I modify the other solution: I have 1hour refresh time and I change for 1 minute, but doesn't work.
the default initializer is in RPD (variable year that belongs to BI_Year Block) and I have written 2009.

Help Needed in checking session variable

In a sample site, I am calling a bounded task flow from an unbounded task flow. In the called taskflow the default activity is a router which checks the session variable, and the home page will be loaded only if the session variable is not null. If session variable is null router will lead to a page dispalying 'session expired'. But even after clearing the session if I copy pasted the previous url, the home page is loading. But when I call bounded taskflow from a bounded taskflow, it is working fine. Can anyone suggest any solution? Thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply. I'm using jdev 11.1.1.5.0.. I'm just trying with a sample example. I have a login page and when the user logins, the user name is stored in session. the loginpage view activity is in adfc config unbounded taskflow. The login credentials is validated in a backing bean and based on the return value, if the login is valid, a bounded taskflow 'hometaskflow' is called. In this bounded taskflow, the default activity is a router wchich checks the username stored in session. If the username is not null it will lead to the 'homepage' view. Else if it is null it will lead to a 'sessionexpired' view.
In the java class of login page I'm accessing the session variable as shown
public Username getSessionBean()
Username username =
(Username)resolveExpression("#{Username}");
return username;
public static Object resolveExpression(String expression)
FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
Application app = facesContext.getApplication();
ExpressionFactory elFactory = app.getExpressionFactory();
ELContext elContext = facesContext.getELContext();
ValueExpression valueExp =
elFactory.createValueExpression(elContext, expression,
Object.class);
return valueExp.getValue(elContext);
On login button click the function being executed is as shown
public String onLoginClick() {
if(String.valueOf(itUserName.getValue()).equals("admin")
&& String.valueOf(itPassword.getValue()).equals("admin"))
Username username=getSessionBean();
username.setUsername(itUserName.getValue().toString());
return "success";
else {
return "invalid";
And to set username as null on logout, I used this function on logout click
public void clearSession()
Username username=getSessionBean();
username.setUsername(null);
The EL expression used to check the value of session variable is

This worked when I used in a bounded taskflow, which is being called from another bounded taskflow. But not working in this scenario...

Session variables being lost

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.

Losing a session variable!

I have a Cold Fusion module being called from an Authorware
piece. The module is called twice. The first time is when the
course is started for the first time, where it sets a session
variable to the current date and time and adds a record to the
course table, and the second time is if the user gets a passing
score on the quiz, at which time the completion time and a passed
indicator is added. The first time, the URL being called is:
http://servername/courses/RecordCourse.cfm?CourseID=TestCourse&userid=smith&coursemode=new
The second time, the URL being called is:
http://servername/courses/RecordCourse.cfm?CourseID=TestCourse&userid=smith&passfail=P&cou rsemode=complete
Yet the second time the file is called, the session variable
is not found.
But here's the kicker -- it's only on our production server.
On our development server, it works like a charm. On the production
server, the second time in doesn't seem to keep the session
variable. Both servers are running CFMX 7 Standard Edition.
Are there any settings between the two servers that I should
be looking for? And more specifically to session variables, do the
two calls to the same module qualify as two sessions? Shouldn't the
session variable be retained as long as the browser window is open
and the timeout has not been reached (yes, session management is
set on in the application.cfm).
The code is:

This is part of a larger application (our intranet). The
overall application.cfm has the following as the first line:
<CFAPPLICATION NAME="OurIntranet" SESSIONMANAGEMENT="Yes"
SESSIONTIMEOUT= #CreateTimeSpan(0, 6, 0, 0)# >
We use session variables all over the place in the various
applications on our intranet.

Version migration, shared ssl, session variables

I'm migrating a shopping cart application from Cold Fusion
4.5 to a new server running MX 7, and have run into a weird problem
transferring session variables.
Basically, there's two sites running on one physical server.
The catalog, and then the shared ssl checkout pages. I'll call them
catalog.com and sharedssl.com.
Under 4.5, if I passed CFID & CFTOKEN in a link from
identically named applications on catalog.com to sharedssl.com, the
session and all its associated variables would transition
seamlessly forward. Under MX, this is no longer happening. The
*very first page* on sharedssl.com (the one that was directly
passed CFID & CFTOKEN) will have access to those variables, but
any subsequent pages on sharedssl.com will just throw errors.
Looking at the debugging info, it's obvious that under MX a
new CFID and CFTOKEN are being assigned when the user goes to
sharedssl.com, regardless of the session id that was passed on; as
soon as the "old" CFID & CFTOKEN aren't being explicitly
mentioned, the "new" ones take over, resulting in a completely
blank session.
Has anyone else experienced anything similar? Is there a
simple fix?
I have some ideas on how to make this work, but I'd really
like to keep this projection a "migration," and not, ie., a
"rewrite." I guess I'm wondering whether there's a configuration
checkbox I'm unaware of, or perhaps some arcane option in
cfapplication that will restore the old behavior.
Thanks for any help,
Tim

On which page is the following code?
After login, user is validated and set values to those session.variables:
........user validation codes here......................
<cfif mylogin NEQ true>
      <cflocation url="/login/login.cfm">
      <cfabort
<cfelse>
      <cfset session.loggedin="Yes">
      <cfset session.username="#Trim(Form.username)#">
     <CFSET qUserRights = LoginObj.getUserRights('#Trim(Form.username)#')>
     <cfset session.userrights = qUserRights>
    <CFSET qUserGroup = LoginObj.getUserGroup('#Trim(Form.username)#')>
        <cfloop query="qUserGroup">
           <cfset session.usergroup = user_group>
           <cfbreak>
        </cfloop>
    
   <cfdump var="#session.loggedin#">
   <cfdump var="#session.username#">
   <cfdump var="#session.userright#">
   <cfdump var="#session.usergroup#">
</cfif>

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.
