Slider - setting via global variables

Dear friends. Is there any possibility to change the "maximum value" at the slider module externally, using with the global variable?
I am programming the communication with TSA syringe pump and I need to change the range of charging rate according the used diameter of the syringe. I can prepare six different sliders for each diameter, but it is too inconvenient. Do you anybody have any idea? I tested put the variable to maximum value at the slider module field, but only a number was possible.
Solved!

What version of DASYLab are you using?
My slider module with DASYLab 12 allows a Global Variable for the Min and Max, and it changes while running.
One way to tell if a Global Variable is supported... right click in the parameter field.

Setting the value of an Application Item (setting a global variable);

In APEX 3.2.0.00.27, I need to initialize a global variable to 0 to implement a variable for testing to see if anything on the page has changed. Will update to 1 when certain select lists on the page are changed. Have read through some similar questions and replies within the forum as well as other blogs and sites. So, I believe what I am doing is the way to go about this. Unfortunately, my initialization of an application item/global isn't happening yet. here's a rundown of what has been implemented:
1) created an application item, G_CLASSIFICATION_ID_NEW in the shared components;
2) created Javascript (JS) function called by addLoadEvent in the page html header region so when the page loads, the G_CLASSIFICATION_ID_NEW global/application item should get set to 0 with the following JS and using AJAX and htmldb_GET:
<script type="text/javascript">
function initVars()
alert("before get initvars");
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,$x('pFlowId').value,null,22);
get.add('G_CLASSIFICATION_ID_NEW', 0);
gReturn = get.get();
if(gReturn){
alert(gReturn.value);
get = null;
alert("after get initvars");
alert("before call to initpage");
addLoadEvent(initVars());
</script>
I've used the htmldb_Get with success for populating other global variables and running On Demand Processes with onchange JS calls in the html form element attributes within select lists on the page. Afterwards, I can check the globals via the Session window and searching on Application Items. Unfortunately, I'm missing something because my G_CLASSIFICATION_ID_NEW never gets populated when I load the page. The alerts all popup when the page is loaded, so I know the script is being executed when the page loads. the alert(gReturn.value) comes back undefined. And, needless to say, the G_CLASSIFICATION_ID_NEW to 0 is not occurring.
I've tried the htmldb_Get with it calling an application process and without (set to null). From what I've read, you shouldn't need to call an on demand process to have the get.add set the global variable. Then again, this could be where I'm going wrong. however, as I've mentioned, this works for other functions called from an onchange to populate an application item, but the page has already loaded when the onchange(s) get executed. They may work because the page is already loaded when the onchange is called. My point here is that my other On demand processes are NOT setting or changing the global variables at all. The globals are getting set with the get.add(<app item>, <value>) portion of my other JS functions within the HTML Header region. So, I'm inclined to believe that I don't need the 'application_process=<some_odp>' parameter set, but if that's not true, please let me know. if so, what would need to be in the on demand process--ie, what would be the purpose of the get.add(<application item>, <value>) if I set the global variable in the on demand process because that's the only thing I could think of doing within an on demand process for this?
If somebody can point out what I'm not understanding or failing to do here, that would be great. I'm doing fine with APEX, but wouldn't consider myself a guru with it just yet. I'm definitely not a JS/AJAX guru, and when things like this go astray, I get bogged down because I'm not sure of the problem. So, I'm hoping you gurus who monitor this forum can get me going in the right direction.
thanks,
bob

Hi Jari,
Does that javascript work if you place it some of region footer on page 22 ?Yes. I cut it out of the html header of the page, and put it in the footer of the first region on the page. It initializes the variable. Putting it into the footer of the first region on the page should work for me instead of having an extra region on the page that's being picked up from page 0.
Is your page 22 authentication public ?No. This particular page is set for an ADMINISTRATOR only. That said, I am logged in as an administrator. So, I cannot see why setting authentication should make a difference as long as I have that authentication/authorization. Also, there will be other pages where I want to use this script or a similar script, but again, those pages will not be open to the public. the authentication will be "role" based where a user will not necessarily have to be an administrator, but they will have to have a certain role to access the page. Is there a known problem or something that precludes a html header JS script from doing an addloadevent when authentication is NOT public?
thank you,
bob

How to Set multiple Global Variables without using Controls or Indicators

I have to set many Global Variables (i.e. declare and initialize them) in a subVI in order to pass them to various other subVI's. The only way I know how to do it in LabView is to create a Globals.vi on which you create a control or indicator for EACH Global Variable. That's fine if you have only a few variables. But I have close to a hundred Global Variables (which come from a configuration file for a large program) and clearly it is impractical and cumbersome to create a control for each global variable. In Agilent Vee, there is a simple function called "Set Variable" that sets the data value of a global variable. Then in other module, you simply use the "Get Variable" function to get back the v
ariable and its value.
In LabView you can use the "Invoke Node / Set Control Value" and "Get Control Value" properties to achieve the same thing. But as mentioned above, you need to create a control for each global variable and that is a big pain in my case, with many global variables. Furthermore, the global variables are read from a Configuration Text File to this VI. Is there a way to do it without using the control? Thank you in advance for any help.

Actually you could create the same sort of facility in LV. All you have to do is create a LV2-style global that behaves as follows:
To write a value to it, you supply a value name and the value. These pieces of data are save internally in seperate arrays.
To read a value, you supply a value name. The VI looks up this name in the value name array to return an index into the value array. Output the value you find.
Frankly though, it sounds like what you really need is not hundreds of globals, but a good way to manage configuration data.

Set file name by global variable

Hi,
I am trying to load data from excel file. I have created batch job with global variable $GV_FileName. When I set a global variable value in a script inside Workflow the data load successfully. When I set a global variable value as a job property I receive the error: "The variable <$GV_FileName> of the is empty. Please initialize the variable to a valid value." But in debug mode I see that the variable is not empty.
Thanks in advance.
Lyudmila

In the job -> properties -> Global Variables tab you set the default value. The actual value used is set when executing the job. Could it be that?

Setting global variable that are static but I want them to change

I'm trying to set a global variable so I can let the user change the state in the Plugin Manager. I've created a checkbox (in PluginManager.lua)
f:checkbox {
title = 'Show HTTP response',
value = _G.showHttpResponse,
that references the global variable (in PluginInit.lua)
_G.showHttpResponse = true
The state of the checkbox accurately reflects the initial value as set. Everything seems fine but after unchecking the checkbox, the value is always true in my plugin. I expected _G.showHttpResponse to change to reflect the setting in the checkbox.
What have I overlooked? Is this only for setting static globals?
Abe

Reading the Lightroom SDK manual seemed to indicate that using globals would be the way to go. I'm thinking that it is only appropriate for static text.
I've taken both your suggestions and have used the plugin preferences. I didn't think you could get and set them in the Plugin Manager but they work just fine. Now I set my debug flags in the plugin manager screen and they are available to the plugin and are persisted as well.
Thanks for the suggestion. Everything is working.

Unit Testing and APEX Global Variables

We've recently started to unit test our database level PL/SQL business logic.
As such we have a need to be able to simulate or provide output from PL/SQL APEX components in order to facilitate testing of these components.
Some of the most obvious portions that need simulation are:
1. The existence of a session
2. The current application ID
3. The current page ID.
We currently handle requirement #1 by using apex_040100.wwv_flow_session.create_new
We handle 2 and 3 using the apex_application.g_flow_id and g_flow_step_id global variables.
I'm just wondering, how safe is it for us to use wwv_flow_session.create_new to simulate the creation of a session at testing time for those things which need a session?
I've also noticed that there are apex_application.get_application_id and apex_application.get_page_id functions whose output is not tied to the global variables (at least in our current version).
Is it safe for us to expect that we can set these global variables for use in testing or is apex moving to get_application_id and get_page_id functions away from global variables?
Will there be corresponding set_application_id and set_page_id functions in the future?
Sorry for the question bomb. Thanks for any help.

My first question would be why do you need to establish a session to test your PL/SQL?
wwv_flow_session is a package internal to APEX, and you should probably leave it be.
The get_application_id procedure you refer to is in apex_application_install, which is used for scripting installation of applications - not get/set of page ID like you're describing.
If you're uncomfortable using apex_application.g_flow_id, you can use v('APP_ID') or preferably pass the app_id/page_id as parameters to your procedures.
Your question seems to have a few unknowns, so that's the best I can describe.

Dynamic CSV file name in target (Multiple workflow calling same dataflow with new global variable value)

Hi their,
I have multiple data flows doing 90% of the process same. The difference is in source query where clause and target flat file.
I used the global variables to dynamically change the query where clause easily, but I need help in dynamically changing the target flat file (CSV file).
What I want to do is have multiple workflows, which will first set the global variable to new value in the script box and then call the same data flow.
Please let me know if you have any solution or any idea which might put me in the direction to my quest for solution.
thank you,

Hi Raj - in your content conversion for lineitem .. read the additional attribute as well.
Change your source strcture and additional field company_code
As you are already sending the filename for each line item using the UDF.. it's just you need to modify your UDF to take another input i.e. Company Code.
or
If your PI version is > 7.1 use the graphical variable to hold the filename..
and while sending the company code information for every item just use the concat function to append filename & company code..

Global variable in a package

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if this is possible?
I have a table with some control values in it and want to be able to access some of these values in a package.
In the spec of my package I want to be able to set a global variable for the value of a specific record.
i.e. I want to be able to say something like:
glo_value_1 := (select value_col from control_table where id_col = 1);
I'm trying to avoid just creating a cursor that I will have to open/fetch/close for every procedure and function in my package. I'd like to be able to just set the value in the specification so that I can just refer to it as glo_value_1.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Yog

Well there is no support for scalar subquery in PL/SQL (in-line SELECT) but you could of course write a function to geth the control value based on it's id and assign the result of the function to the global, something like...
glo_value_1 := control_value_function (1);

Global variable access behaving differently

Hi There,
I am kind of confused at the way the output of this sql;
select
proc1.get_id(dwg_no, rev_id),
proc1.get_adcn(1) from
table t1,
table2 t2
where
t1.pkey = t2.fkey;
PL/SQL (Proc1)
create package proc1
function get_id(
dwg_no varchar2(10),
rev_id varchar2(4)
function get_adcn(
a number
create package body proc1 ..
--declare/set the global variable
v_adcn_no varchar2(4) := null;
funciton get_id (dwgno, revid) as
v_rev_id varchar2(12) := null;
select 'AB', '55' into v_rev_id, v_adcn_no from dual;
return v_rev_id;
funciton get_adcn (a number) as
return v_adcn_no;
My expectation is th get_id function would be executed and the global variable v_adcn_no would be set to '55' so that this value would be returned when get_adcn fucntion is called.
But it doesn't happen so.(i validated this)
[at times i returns 55, at times it returns null]
Actually i simulated my problem with a simple example.
and I do not want to execute the same sql again when get_adcn function is called.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Regards,
Srini

Thx for your reply,
that does not meet my requirement, bcos there is no guarantee that get_rev_id function would be called first before get_adcn.
But my requirement is i want the rev_id function to be executed first, how would i ensure that.
regards,
Srini

Global variable not being seen by other formulas

Hi
I've set a global variable in my report, but other formulas don't recognise it. What have I done wrong?
In my group1 header I have a formula 'w' which is just
Global Numbervar v1 := 0;
In my details section I have a formula 'x' which is
if {Command.INVLINETYPE} = 1 and previous({Command.INVLINETYPE}) <> 999 then
   {Command.LINEVALUE};
    v1 := v1 + {Command.LINEVALUE};
else
if {Command.INVLINETYPE} = 999 and {Command.ORDERNO} <> previous({Command.ORDERNO}) then
   {Command.LINEVALUE}
else
   0
this gives an error of 'Missing ) ' when I try to save it. If I put in a local variable in place of v1, the formula saves. This is the first time I've used variables in this way, which I'm having to do to try to sum this formula which uses Previous. Thought that I could create a global variable and use it to record the total.
Thanks
Steven

Sharon
thanks for this. Unfortunately I get the same when I move the ).
Is it something to do with where the Global variable is declared (though I have tried moving it around).

How can I programmatically create and use a global variable?

I have an app where the number of AI DAQmx tasks I create are specified in a config file. I have a monitor task that periodically looks at the latest values from all DAQ tasks. I've been doing this with a set of global variables because it was the simplest way to do it. But to do this, I have to explicitly create a separate AI task that uses the hard-coded global variable name for the DAQmx samples. I would prefer to only write one VI for the DAQ loop that writes to a global variable that I programmatically create based on the config file. The only solution I can think of is to use a global variable "pool" that is sized bigger than I expect to need, and then have a big switch case to select which one I want based on the task index. But this sounds pretty silly.

I tend to agree with Ben. I don't buy the concept of taking the asy way out (globals) because it very rarely will things remain static. You almost always have to extend the features and functionality of an application and then you will run into issues with sloppy and lazy implementations. The solutions offered may require a little time to learn but once you do it doesn't really require any extra effort.

Changing Global variables inside function

Hello all,
Trying to set a global variable in a function that had already been set before the function. For example:
$VariablesAreSame = $false
function CheckIfDifferent ($variable1, $variable2){
If($variable1 -eq $variable2){
$VariablesAreSame = $true
write-host $VariablesAreSame
for($i=1;$i -le 5;$i++){
CheckIfDifferent $i 2
When this is run, $VariablesAreSame is never permanently set within the function, which I would like it to be. Any ideas?

You need to set $VariablesAreSame as a global variable in the function.
$VariablesAreSame = $false
function CheckIfDifferent ($variable1, $variable2){
If($variable1 -eq $variable2){
$global:VariablesAreSame = $true
write-host $VariablesAreSame
for($i=1;$i -le 5;$i++){
CheckIfDifferent $i 2

Set value of substitution string or global variable

Hi all,
is it possible to set the value of a substitution string or a global variable via sql or something else?
it means is there a procedure like apex_application_install.set_application_alias() to set a value?
Thanks,
Kirsten

So for each file I loop through I have:
T.box = A1 (or A2, A3, etc...)
InTable = true/false...
T.box.setSelected(InTable) or
(T.box.toString().setSelected(InTable), but it still
recognizes the T.box as a String instead of the
JCheckBox.T.box IS a String.
What are the variables you are reading in? The name of the JCheckBox? Do you mean the name of the reference to a JCheckBox? So, initially you have a bunch of JCheckBoxes you created like
JCheckBox box1 = new JCheckBox("Box1");and then you read in the "box1" from your file and another value that indicates whether it is checked or not?
If this is the correct assessment then I would agree with the other post. When you create the JCheckBoxes, store them in a Hashmap(or something similar) with the 'name' as the key and the JCheckBox object as the value. Then, when you read in your values you just do:
((JCheckBox)boxMap.get(A1)).setSelected(InTable);

(I have assumed that this is where I would store Global variables)
At this stage, the global variables cannot be accessed with the configuration above. The only was I can get this to work is to cut and paste the global vairables into each form1.#subform[0] item, which of course defeats the purpose of global variables! I plan to have many more items so would not want to duplicate the global variables for all of them!
Can somebody show me how to do this?
Any help is very much appreciated!

Hi MorisTM,
Thanks for the reply!
Yes, I saw that option (I should have mentioned I already knew about it), but was wondering if there is a way I can do this via code.
There are two reason I want to be able to do it via code (only one of which may be valid):
1) I can automatically generate my pricing code form another inhouse app.
2) I am hoping that later on once I get this working I will be able take it a step further and get the data directly from a MySQL database!
Cheers though!
Any other suggestions?

How to Set and Use a global variable within a session?

Dear All,
I'm new to jsp, and would like to ask how to set and use a global variable within a session?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,

With session.setAttribute("name",object) you can store a Attribute in the session object.
with session.getAttribute("name") you can get it.
That's it.
