Use global variable to transfer user parameter in some Vi

Hello,
I have troubles when I use a global variable to transfer the parameter to a first Vi (user interface) to a second vi (acquisition interface).
In the first Vi, the user paramater is wrote to my global variable.
In the second Vi, the acquisition parameter is read to my global variable.
This 2 Vis are include to a master Vi who synchronized by the error bus.
The problem :
For the first use, the user parameter is transfer to the global variable but the acquisition vi read the old parameter. In the second use, acquisition vi read the first use parameter.
After I use the IN/OUT parameter subvi and i have too this problem.
Thanks for help.

Labview uses the dataflow to chain the execution. That is, as soon as one item of data is ready is is presented to the next stage.
Global (or local) variables do not easily fit in there. A variable is always present and ready to give away it's data. It does not matter that you write to it in one vi. Another vi, that is running concurrently is not aware that the content may have changed.
Especially if you reference variables outside of loops, the value is taken just once and never updated. Be aware! If in doubt, use the tracing facilty (the light bulb) to follow the data flow.

Using Global Variables in Data Quality Address Cleanse Transforms

I am currently developing in Data Services 12.2.
I am trying to dynamically populate the List Owner information in the option tabs of the USA Regulatory Address Cleanse by using global variables. It populates the 3553 with the variable name instead of the value assigned.
According to the Technical Manual, it is possible to use global variables in Data Quality Address Cleanse transforms:
However, you can use substitution parameters in all places where global variables are supported, for example:
Query transform WHERE clauses
Mappings
SQL transform SQL statement identifiers
Flat-file options
User-defined transforms
Address cleanse transform options
Matching thresholds
Does anyone know if it is possible to use global variables in the option tab of the Address Cleanse; if so, can you describe how it is done?
Thanks in advance,
Rick

VALUE USING GLOBAL VARIABLE

Hello
I made a Global Variable XX_DATE in Transaction Form Personalization with a value =:TACC_ACC_ASSGN.GL_POSTED_DATE.
I'm planning to get the value from XX_DATE to one of the fields in Receipts thru Receipt Personalization.
But a got the following error when I validate the value in Actions
FRM-40815: Variable GLOBAL.XX_DATE does not exist.
The String =:GLOBAL.XX_DATE could not be evaluated because of an errorAny help on this please?
I just wanted to transfer data (GL_POSTED_DATE) from Transactions to Receipts using Global Variable.
Any other ideas?
Thanks a lot

Using Global variable in Record Group

Hi,
I have a requirement where in I need to pull a column name from a table and then use that value in the select statement of a record group. I have tried using global variables but it is not working. Here is the record group I would like to use.
RG_DOMAIN is based on LOV_DOMAIN
SELECT :GLOBAL.DOMAIN_COLUMN_NAME, DESCRIPTION FROM
DM_T_DOMAIN_VALUES
WHERE DOMAIN_NAME := BLOCK.ATTRIBUTE;
In the Key-Listval I have a select statement in which does this :
SELECT DOMAIN_COLUMN
INTO :GLOBAL.DOMAIN_COLUMN_NAME
FROM DM_T_DOMAIN_RULES WHERE DOMAIN_NAME = :BLOCK.ATTRIBUTE;
SHOW_LOV('LOV_DOMAIN');
The problem is I am not getting the value I am just getting the Domain_column name. For example for Domain_name 'CALC_TYP' the Domain_column is COLUMN_10 and I just see COLUMN_10 my LOV when I want to see the value of COLUMN_10 from the DM_T_DOMAIN_VALUES table.
I tried using Name_in and Copy but not working. Can anyone suggest a solution?
Thanks

Francois ,
I tried this but I am getting error saying record group does not exist. Can you tell me what should I go in Populate_group... and show_lov..maybe I am doing something wrong?
Declare
LC$Req Varchar2(512) ;
Begin
LC$Req := 'SELECT ' || :GLOBAL.DOMAIN_COLUMN_NAME || ' FROM ....' ;
Create_Group_From_Query( rg_group, LC$Req ) ;
Populate_group(RG_DOMAIN); ?? --- is this correct?
Show_Lov(LOV_DOMAIN) ; -- and is this correct?
End;

Using Global variables in business rules

In EAS after expanding the Business Rules section there is a Global Variables section. I have created some global variables in this section and I am trying to use them in the Rule editor and not having much luck. Are they retrieved differently to local variables...Currently this is how I am calling them within a FIX....
FIX([Global_Varaiable])
calculation;
EndFix
Please correct me if I am wrong, also can any one provide some good documentation and some gd links for writing business rules. I'm just starting out to create some business rule which runs on save on some input forms I am creating and finding it rather difficult.... :-(..
Many Thanks
Stephen

Hi,
Global variables will work in the same way as local variables so you are using them correctly.
Business rules are just really glorified calc scripts, if you want to know about calc script commands have a read of the tech ref :- http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/esb_techref/frameset.htm?launch.htm
It will have all the calculation commands and functions and descriptions on how they work.

Using functional global variables to transfer data between touch screen device and other targets

Hi,
We are currently developing a control system that will operate on a cRIO with a touch screen interface. During development we have been using functional global variables (FGVs) to handle most of the settings/data etc, however we have just realised that we may have an issue updating the data on the touch screen, and vice versa.
Previously we have implemented similar programs using shared variables, however we were wondering if there is anyway to implement FGVs in a similar manner, whether it'd be a combination of FGVs and shared variables.
Regards,
Mike
Software version: Labview 8.2.1

See this thread on LAVA about sharing FGV's across projects. THis should be extendable to cross paltforms (I believe).
You also may want to concider an upgrade to LV 8.5.1. We have found a number of performance related issues with LV 8.2.1 and RT.
If you decide not to upgrade, just remeber what I wrote (above) when you have reason to question the performance.

Oracle 10g - can I use a variable to identifywhat user's tablesto access?

I have the following code in a trigger (PL/Sql block) of a form:
select fieldname into myvar from user1.sometable;
is there a way to use a variable instead of hard coding 'user1'? And on the same topic, could this variable be declared globally?
Thanks in advance,
Darren

Hi again!
i've forgot something!
You are able to switch to another schema. If you are another user than user1, try:
alter session set current_schema = user1;after this there is no need to use synonyms or tableowners in front of the tablename in your sql-statements.
May you use this in a when-new-form-instance trigger in your first form like:
forms_ddl ( 'alter session set current_schema = ' || :parameter.your_schema );Regards

What are the best practices to use GLOBAL Variables

Hi,
Please guide how Global Variables can be declared and how they can be initialized.
Further please guide what are the impacts of Global Variables(if any) on the memory of CLIENT or SERVER, if they are not initialized or freed up after usage.
Thanks.
Regards.

My preference is not to use them and to use parameters or package variables. There is not real control on globals so you can end up with an applicatios that has lots of them that are only used once but persist for the user session.I second that. I don't know how often I searched for bugs caused by typos in the names of global variables. Plus the fact that they are only of datatype VARCHAR2. If you are using share_library_data you could also use Package globals in a forms library to share data between called and calling forms. Or you could use a database package...

Use global variable in reports which is declared in forms

Hi All,
I have declared and used a global variable in Forms and after that I'm running a report and I want to use the same variable in reports.
How can I use that.
Regards
Praveen Kr. Arora

Hi Rizwan,
Thanks for prompt reply.
Can you explain in more detail with example.
Though I'm calling report from menu item and I have created report file with three parameters.
In menu item I have created a parameter list with same three parameters but whenever I tried to run then it gives Invalid ID error for all three parameters.

Is there a way to use Global variable in HANA

Hi Developers,
Is there anything like a Global variable in SAP HANA which can be used to pass data from one procedure to another (Visible to all the procedures in a session)?
Thanks
S.Srivatsan

Hi Sundar,
In best of my understanding, there is no context variable or global variable available under SQL SCRIPT scope . You may need to maintain the variable as a parameter in the procedure interface and pass it to the procedures where ever you need it to be available . Or,(DB table is in memory, so its just memory unit) you can create a DB table to store the variable(s) and access it anywhere .

Using a variable for the "format" parameter for disk/directory name

In the interest of maintainability, I'm trying to use an environment variable in the format parameter. I've found that RMAN is able to interpret the $ORACLE_HOME and $ORACLE_BASE variables, but others give the error:
RMAN-03006: non-retryable error occurred during execution of command: backup
RMAN-07004: unhandled exception during command execution on channel t1
RMAN-10035: exception raised in RPC: ORA-07217: sltln: environment variable cannot be evaluated.
RMAN-10031: ORA-19583 occurred during call to DBMS_BACKUP_RESTORE.BACKUPPIECECREATE
Is there any more specific documentation about what variables are supported within RMAN? (I've found nothing in the manuals beyond the excerpt I included below.) Does anyone know if the "port-specific directory" mentioned in the excerpt below
can be modified/customized?
Thanks....
format 'format_string'
specifies the filename to use for the backup piece. Any name that is legal as a sequential filename on the platform is allowed, provided that each backup piece has a unique name. If backing up to disk, then any legal disk filename is allowed, provided it is unique. If you do not specify the format parameter, RMAN stores the backup pieces in a port-specific directory ($ORACLE_HOME/dbs on UNIX).

i have used a different directory other then port-specific one and i am able to backup .
format '/disk2/app/oracle/test/%d_%s_%t' , i have given full path names instead of substitution variables. i am not sure how
they(variables) will work though in rman.

XI 3.0: Using global variables in mapping

Hi everybody
Since it seems that during mapping you have only access to messages fields, does anybody has got idea or a workaround to use global/external variables or constants during mapping??
Example: i would like to store the mail address where i send my error mails outside each mapping program (something like using a properties file or something like that).
Any idea???

Using global variable in package

Hi. I have created a function (Retrieve_SerialNo) which returns a variable, which I use throughout my package. I would like to assign this variable as a global variable to be used by all functions and procedures in the package. Can someone help me in the declaration of this variable as a global variable? Also, is it necessary for me to initialize this variable whenever the package executes. If yes, how would I do this?
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY Supply_Item_Interface AS
FUNCTION Retrieve_SerialNo RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
    v_serial_no VARCHAR2(20);
    CURSOR Serial_Code IS
      SELECT S.Serial_Code
        FROM Spare_Parts s, Orders r
       WHERE s.serial_code = r.serial_code;
BEGIN
    OPEN Serial_Code;
    LOOP
      FETCH Serial_Code
        INTO v_serial_no;
      EXIT WHEN Serial_Code%NOTFOUND;
      v_serial_no := v_serial_no;
    END LOOP;
    CLOSE Serial_Code;
    RETURN v_serial_no;
EXCEPTION
    WHEN OTHERS THEN
      RETURN NULL;
END;

A variable defined in a procedure is only visible within that procedure.
A variable defines in a package body. is visible within that package body (i.e. procedures and functions in that package body can "see" that variable.
A variable defined in the package definition? Well, who can see the definitions of procedures and function in a a package header/definition? Everyone else basically (other PL/SQL packages and procedures and functions). So this is also true for variables defined in the package interface. These are global variables that not only can be used by the code in that package's body, but also can be used by other packages and PL/SQL code.
So when you create a global variable you need to decide on its scope:
- define it in package header for global usage in all PL/SQL code
- define it in package body for global usage within that package only
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY Supply_Item_Interface AS
..snipped..Ugly code as there is no need to use an explicit cursor if returning a value from a single row. Also buggy code. If there are multiple rows returned by the cursor, the function returns the serial of the last random row. How does this make sense?
This is what I would expect to see from a function like this. You pass it a unique identifier and it returns the applicable attribute (column) value for it.
E.g.
create or replace function GetSerialNo( orderNo number ) return number is
serialNo number;
begin
select
    s.serial_code into serialNo
from spare_parts s,
       orders o
where s.serial_code = o.serial_code
and o.order_no = orderNo;
return( serialNo );
exception when NO_DATA_FOUND then
return( null )
end;Also note that there is no need to write ugly uppercase code. This is not a proper coding standard. Programming standards for all languages (ranging from C# to Java to Delphi to Visual Basic to C/C++) specify that camelcase should be used for variables and pascalcase for procedures/functions/methods. Uppercase is very seldom used and then only for constant names and compiler options/flags for example.
Coding reserved words in uppercase? That is just plain silly - and not found in today's programming languages. Do yourself a favour and forget the idiotic standards used by some for PL/SQL and look at the standards for Java and .Net/C# - as the latter are the de facto standards for programming (and have been for the last 2 decades and more).

How to use "global variable" in Xcelsius ?

HI experts,
In our projects, many Xcelsius web pages on BusinessObjects enterprise may have the same year/month variable related to present, for example, 2009/02. We want use this varible when the user open any Xcelsius web page. Can this be implemented by session value?
Thanks!

Hello,
Could you explain what did you mean ?
Did you manage to use a variable when running Xcelsius by using XML data ?
Thanks,
