Setting a server wide variable at startup

Anyone have a way to set a server wide variable (likely in
the server scope) that gets set on server startup rather than in a
specific page request via a cfset.
What I would like to be able to do is set a variable external
to any application that describes the servers role (ie.
development, integration, staging, production) rather than
hardcoding into the applications a test for server ip, name, etc.
Thanks
-Mike

That's a new one. I can't think of anything internal to CF
that would
accomplish this.
My first idea, assuming a windows world, you could do
something in the
services start that would call some resource that would set
this for
you. I have no idea how or know for sure this is possible.
My second idea is what might be done in the Java
underpinnings. Could
something be done there.
There are several xml files that are parsed at start up, but
I have no
idea how, if at all, extensible they are.

Is there any way to create a system-wide variable?

Hello IDM gurus.
Is there any way to create rarely changing system wide variables that can be loaded at system startup that will be available to all users? For example, at IDM system startup, the variables would be read from configuration or generic objects and live in memory for ALL users as opposed to each workflow/user having to read the same variables when the workflow is run.
Any help would be appreciated.

That may very well be the answer I'm looking for. Is there a way for that to be available within the entire application instead of having to read it in each workflow?

Why is my data set marking server not included in my executable?

I have a program that writes data sets to a citadel database with a data set marking I/O server. Everything works fine in the labview environment, but when I create an executable of the program, the data set I/O server does not appear to be included. The executable can create a database and write individual traces to it, but they are not grouped into data sets. I have looked everywhere in the project window and in the build specifications window for the executable for a setting that would affect this, but have found nothing. Here is a picture of the build specification window for the executable. You can see in the Project Files window the lvlib file and the included Shared Variables folder, but the data set marking server is not shown as it is in the project window above it.
The lvlib file created with the executable appears to remain in tact, because I can open it in the LV environment and see the data set I/O server included with it:
Finally, here is a picture of the databases that MAX sees. The VI in the LV environment produced the top database called C__Program_Files_National_Instruments_Labview_8_2_data with the DataSets folder, and the executable version produced the bottom database called mVROC_Database with no DataSets folder:
I'm using LV 8.2.1 and DSC module 8.2.
Thanks,
Craig

Hi, Drew,
Thanks for the reply. As I was looking into your questions above, I found that the I/O server was indeed geting included in the executable, but it was configured in the original project to look at the wrong database. After a fair amount of playing around, I at least got it to create data sets. However, there are some other weird things going on now. The logged values of the variables are mismatched, or the value from say variable A shows up recorded in variable B. This stuff is all way too touchy. Overall, I've been very dissapointed with using the DSC and database stuff. The promotional literature talks about how easy it is to use, but that is just not the case, and I've been programing in labview for about 10 years now. Unfortunately I need to set this project asside for now so I can't investigate further, but I'll eventually get back to it.
Regards,
Craig

Non-admin user cannot access Essbase server level variables

Version 11.1.1.3
Essbase Substitution variables are created at server level. Users are getting error in FR report that uses the Subsitution Variable -- Essbase Error(1051085): You do not have sufficient access to get this substitution variable. Also, users cannot access Substitution variable in SmartView. However, users can access variables created at database level. Users are provisioned as "Server Access" to Essbase and filter access to ASO application "MGTRPTG", where MGTRPTG is an ASO essbase application for reporting. We tried the same provisioning in two other environments and it seems to be working fine.
User is type "Essbase and Planning" provisioned with essbase "server access", application mgtrptg "filter", Reporting and Analysis "analyst", "dynamic viewer" and "Explorer". In addition, it is given a filter "REP_DME_GALB" which restricts 2 dimensions (Division and Geography).
Steps taken to resolve:
1. Existing users were deprovisioned and reprovisioned with no effect.
2. Created brand new identically provisioned users in Prod and QA. QA user can access the server level var and Prod user cannot
3. Created a brand new server level variable in Prod and this cannot be accessed.
4. All services have already been restarted several times.
5. SR has been opened.
Temporary workaround:
By creating a duplicate of the same set of variables at the database level, the reports work. This can only be a temporary workaround as the client cannot be expected to maintain two sets of substitution variables since there are 3 applications using these server level variables.
Thank you for any ideas!
Jennifer

You have stumbled on a defect which is resolved in the Hyperion Planning 9.3.1 patch 6 and above. If you have your planning preferences set to indent members it will cause forms which have page selections to show as invalid in SmartView.
You can either patch Planning or turn off the preference. The patches are available from http://metalink3.oracle.com and require account which has been associated with your client ID.
P.S. Usually it's not a good practice to use the admin id.

Spry XML data set and dynamic post variables

Hi,
I am trying to create an XML data set that has dynamic post
variables.
Everytime something is pressed on the page a variable changes
and I then want to reload the XML data set using the new variable.
I know I can just pull in an XML with all possible variables
and filter client side but this would make it way too large.
Does anyone know what I may need to do.
I tried this:
var myVar = 0;
var dss = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet (
'../../cgi-bin/server_details.pl' , 'top' , { method: 'POST' ,
postData: sid=ajaja21&ip=127.0.0.1&cid=' . myVar ,
subPaths: [ "auth" , "plugins" , "plugins/plugin" ] , keepSorted:
"true", sortOnLoad: "plugins/plugin/order", sortOrderOnLoad:
"descending", useCache: false, loadInterval: 10000 } );
onclick="myVar=1";
But the script doesn't understand the post variables sent (it
does when I remove the . myVar part and put in a static value). I
think it isn't sending that dynamic variable with the post
variables.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks

Well I had it working when I stripped back everything and
just had the dss data set and a single onclick function, but now
that I put it back together it hash foobared again.
Here are the relevant bits of code that I've changed.
The function to change server id:
//function to run when changing the server id
function changeServer ( sid ) {
//set the url to use the current server id
dss.setURL = ( '../../cgi-bin/server_details.pl' , { method:
'POST' , postData:
'sid=7gv1m3vjvagfl7h7qeefb8iodj8evhmb&ip=127.0.0.1&cid='+sid
//force a reload of the server data
dss.loadData();
The inital load of the data set
var dss = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet (
'../../cgi-bin/server_details.pl' , 'yams' , { method: 'POST' ,
postData:
'sid=7gv1m3vjvagfl7h7qeefb8iodj8evhmb&ip=127.0.0.1&cid=0' ,
subPaths: [ "auth" , "plugins" , "plugins/plugin" ] , keepSorted:
"true", sortOnLoad: "plugins/plugin/order", sortOrderOnLoad:
"descending", useCache: false, loadInterval: 10000 } );
And the part that changes the server id
<td align="left" style="cursor:default; width:174px;"
onclick="changeServer({dsv::servers/server/@id})">{dsv::servers/server/name}</td>
I checked that the function is receiving the correct server
id and I even tried hard coding the cid variable to 2 in the change
function but it still wasn't changing on the server side.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Creating class wide variable that gets re-initialized every time

I declared a class-wide variable in my jsp document using the <%! %> tags:
<%! boolean HasMoreRows = true %>
I set this variable to false in one of the private jsp methods (also declared within <%! %> tags) when the program is supposed to terminate (there are no more rows left in my database result set).
When I run the jsp document the first time after modifying it, it works fine. But if I hit the browser "back" button and then hit the "submit" button on the jsp page again to recreate the database result set, the HasMoreRows variable has the same value it had after the report ran the first time (that is, it is set to false).
I think this has something to do with the way a servlet is created and re-used by the servlet container. I have to set the variable in a method so I cannot use a local variable (i.e. a variable declared inside <% %> tags). Does anyone know how to declare a variable that can be used anywhere inside the jsp document (including all methods) but gets reset to its initialization value every time the jsp document is run? Thanks.

I think I figured out the solution. It is to declare the variable in the <%! %> tags but initialize it in the <% %> tags.
<%! boolean HasMoreRows; %>
<% HasMoreRows = true; %>

Failed to start up. Please set proper ESSBASEPATH environment variable.

Hi,
Recently we have upgraded the 7x to 11x version, Installation looks fine and were able to migrate the zero level data as well. But when i trying to run the Load scripts i am getting the below error
**Failed to start up. Please set proper ESSBASEPATH environment variable.**
Below is my environment details
Setting Server specific environment Variables
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/apps/hyperion/products/Essbase/EssbaseServer/bin:/apps/hyperion/products/Essbase/EssbaseServer:.:/apps/hyperion/products/Essbase/EssbaseServer/bin:/apps/hyperion/products/Essbase/EssbaseServer:.

Can you please help me resolving this.

You will also need an environment variable called ESSBASEPATH
The value will be the same as ARBORPATH
Though if you start essbase by using startEssbase.sh then it should pick up the env variables from /hyperion/products/Essbase/EssbaseServer/hyperionenv.doc

Declare, Set, and Use a variable in a SQL Developer Query

I come from the SQL Server world and am trying to do something very simple: Declare, set, and use a variable in a query. For example:
Declare @lastPeriod date;
Set @lastPeriod = (select max(payperiod) from table 1 where payperiod < current_date);
Select field 1,
Field2
From table2
Where payperiod = @lastPeriod
The variable is going to be used in more areas in the query which is why I am simply not using a Sub-query in the where clause. I appreciate any assistance.

This forum is for issues with the SQL Developer tool. You'd get more response in the SQL And PL/SQL forum.
That said, read up on bind variables and substitution variables.
Whenever you can you should use Bind variables (e.g. *:lastPeriod* ), as they increase performance. In sqldev, there's no need to declare as you will be prompted to enter them on execution (F9), but you do if you execute as script (F5) (e.g. VARIABLE lastPeriod VARCHAR2(30);).
Alternatively, Substitution variables (e.g. *&lastPeriod* ) will literally be substituted in your statement before the database parses it. In sqldev, there's no need to declare as you will be prompted to enter them on execution (either F9 or F5), but you can (DEF lastPeriod='TEST'; ).
Have fun,
K.

Application wide Variable

What is the best way to implement an Application wide Variable.
Here is what I want to accomplish. We have several users enter different data into Database. I want to filter the data the users see based on a column will call it Group that is in every table.
My thinking was to put a dropdown on the login page or some page and they would choose which Group's data they want to see.
Then on every page the queries for that page would have a where clause that would say where Group = :MY__APP_Variable.
I am not sure if one this is the best way to accomplish this,
and two if it is the best way I am not totally sure how to fully implent the app parameter.
I am thinking I would create some type of variable under shared components
then when they select the value from the drop down on the login I would make the variable equel to that.
I am just not sure exactly how to do this.
Thoughts??
Thanks

qtjr, I asked you about the number of reports, so that if you have less number of reports then you can have the option for changing the group on the report screen instead of going to the first page for changing it. You have 50 or more reports, so this probably will not be a good option. Allow the user to select a group after they login and set the value to an application level item.
You can use a page level item but I think an application level item will be a better option.
Thanks,
Machaan

How can I use Server level variables in a business model based report

hi gems..
I have declared one server level variable in the BI Analytics repository.
Now I have made one business model based report.
In one column I want to use that server level varible.
I go to the formula tab of that column and then clicked on variable--> session --> put the name of the variable and click ok.
But when i viewed the report, it is not showing the dates, rather it is showing the date format I chosed i.e DD-MMM-YYYY.
please help..

actually the previous problem got resolved...
Now when I am trying to apply a filter on a particular column using that server variable, then it is showing that the varible has no value definition.
I have clicked on the filter tab of that column-->add-->variables-->session variables-->then I put the name of the variable-->click OK.
the following error is comming-
Error Codes: YQCO4T56:OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 23005] The repository variable, Variable_name, has no value definition. (HY000)
I have made that server variable from manage-->variables-->(right click) create new initialisation block-->gave the name and wrote the query and aslo gave the connection pool name and test that and it worked fine..

Find text from a file and set it as a variable in applescript?

I am trying to build a script that sends me updates and notifications from cex.io. Please keep on reading below, so I may guide you until the point I have trouble with.
The first simple script in this operation goes to cex.io's trading page for BTC/GHS. It records ands saves the text to a file every 4 seconds. It works great. It doesn't need to have safari refresh because the site pushes info to the browser live.
repeat
          set the webpage_content to ""
          tell application "Safari" to set the webpage_content to the text of document 1
          set theText to webpage_content
          set a to "Macintosh HD:Users:PRIVATE:Desktop:CEX:"
          set theFile to (open for access file ((a) & "CEXRaw") with write permission)
          write theText to theFile
          close access theFile
          delay 4
end repeat
And it returns this from the site to this main file every 4 seconds: (note I cut off a chunk from the bottom and the top of the file, because they are unimportant)
    GHS:
    0.05233439
    BTC:
    0.00000223
    NMC:
    0.00002939
    LTC:
    0.00000000
    GHS/BTC
    0.02362958 LTC/BTC
    0.02438131 NMC/BTC
    0.00597565 GHS/NMC
    3.96951800 BF1/BTC
    1.67000000 Fund Account

    Today's open:
    0.02381000
    24h volume:
    73812.35539255
I now need an applescript to read that file, and return wanted values. But I'm lost on how to write it.
It needs to find the number under BTC, and set it as a variable.
It needs to find the number under GHS, and set it as a variable.
It needs to find the number under Last Price, and set it as a variable.
If anyone could script that really quick for me, or tell me how to do it, that would be amazing. Thank you so much!

Couldn't tell if you had any whitespace in the lines (i.e. is there a space before or after GHS:), so I used contains, not is. Also, if you have a line such as GHS/BTC with a colon GHS/BTC: then it will also fail (as contains "BTC:" would be true for BTC: and GHS/BTC:)
However, this will give you some guidance:
set a to "Macintosh HD:Users:PRIVATE:Desktop:CEX:CEXRaw"
set x to 0
set Names to paragraphs of (read file a)
repeat with nextLine in Names
          set x to x + 1
          if nextLine contains "BTC:" then
                    set BTC to item (x + 1) of Names
          else if nextLine contains "GHS:" then
                    set GHS to item (x + 1) of Names
          else if nextLine contains "Last Price:" then
                    set lastPrice to item (x + 1) of Names
          end if
end repeat
