Using the variable placeholder ? in an XPath expression

I'm trying to using the variable operator (?) in an Oracle prepared statement used in a query where clause. Here is the query:
select xt.APPLICATION_NAME, xt.VERSION, xt.EVENT_TYPE, xt.SENDING_SITE, xt.RECEIVING_SITE, xt.EVENT_ID
      from AUDITED_EVENT_XML_MIN e,
         XMLTable(XMLNAMESPACES('http://gov/va/med/datasharing/audit/endpoint/audit' AS "xae"),
                '/xae:auditable-event'
                PASSING e.xml_event_content
                COLUMNS
                APPLICATION_NAME VARCHAR2(255) PATH 'xae:application-name',
                VERSION          VARCHAR2(255) PATH 'xae:version',
                EVENT_TYPE       VARCHAR2(255) PATH 'xae:event-type',
                SENDING_SITE     VARCHAR2(255) PATH 'xae:xml-event-content/*/MSH/MSH.4/HD.2',
                RECEIVING_SITE   VARCHAR2(255) PATH 'xae:xml-event-content/*/MSH/MSH.6/HD.2',
                EVENT_ID         VARCHAR2(255) PATH 'xae:xml-event-content/*/MSH/MSH.10') xt
            where existsNode(E.XML_EVENT_CONTENT, '/xae:auditable-event[xae:event-type=?]','xmlns:xae="http://gov/va/med/datasharing/audit/endpoint/audit"') = 1This code works when the ? is replaced with "aValue". I need to use the ? so that my Java client can pass a variable value into the query.
Is this a supportable feature or am I doing something wrong?
I didn't see any examples in the Oracle XML DB Developers Guide where there was a ? in an XPath expression.
I also tried "?" with the same issue...

I incorporated this suggestion and it worked very well. Thanks!
Now I have converted my solution to use a structured index. As such, I want to write the where clauses in terms of column names rather than XPath expressions.
I hoped it was as simple as changing the code that generates the XPath expression to generate a SQL expression. After making that change, I'm now getting this error:

Can someone tell me whether or not this is a legal substitution?
The SQL that runs in Toad is:

How to use the variables used in the message mapping

Hi ,
In the message mapping we can declare variables in the JAVA section , these variables could be used across the mapping .
I have tried using it but I am unable to retrieve the values assigned to the variables in one UDF into the another UDF .
Please guide me how to use the variables declared in the JAVA section in the message mapping .
Thanks
Anita Yadav

Anita,
I have worked on the Global variables and i found no issues. Make sure that the variable is declared in the Declaration Section and then initlaized in the Initialization section.
If you declare a variable in the Declaration Section ,
int i;
then in any udf you can use if directly. No need to re declare the variable in the UDF. If you do this, then it becomes a local variable.

INCLUDE ZXF08U10.
Here is the code for the include program.
INCLUDE ZXF08U10
MOVE febvw_in TO febvw_out.

Sometimes you will get this error message when checking include code in exits even though there is really no error - it happens because the include does not realise it is in the function due to the navigation index being out of date.
Try activating the code - it may work even though the check said there were errors.
You can also get this issue when trying to drill down on the field in the include to view its structure.

Error when using the variable System::ErrorDescription

HI All,
When I try to use the variable System::ErrorDescription I get the following error:
The element cannot be found in a collection. This error happens when you try to retrieve an element from a collection on a container during execution of the package and the element is not there.
Do I need to declare it or it's a variable that always is available to get exceptions from the execution states?

if this is in a Script Task then:
- add the variable in the Script task property ReadOnlyVariables list
- in the Script Code refer to it as
string ErrorDesc = (string) Dts.Variables["System::ErrorDescription"].Value;

Error while using the variable name "VARIABLE" in variable substitution

Hi Experts,
I am using variable substitution to have my output filename set as a payload field value. It is working fine when I am using the variable name as fname, subs etc but channel goes in error when I am using the variable name as "VARIABLE". This is probably a reserved word but i would like to know where i can find a detailed documentation on this. Say things to note / restrictions while using variable substitution.
This is the error in the channel:
Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: Error during variable substitution: java.text.ParseException: Variable 'variable' not found in variable substitution table: com.sap.aii.adapter.file.configuration.DynamicConfigurationException: Error during variable substitution: java.text.ParseException: Variable 'variable' not found in variable substitution table
Thanks,
Diya

Hi Zevik,
Thanks for the reply. The output file is created correctly by merely changing the variable name to something else and hence the doubt.
Below is the configuration:
Variable Substituition
VARIABLE payload:interface_dummy,1,Recordset,1,Header,1,field1,1
Filename schema : TEST_%VARIABLE%.txt
Output xml structure:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
- <ns:interface_dummy xmlns:ns="http://training.eu.unilever.com">
- <ns:Recordset xmlns:ns="http://training.eu.unilever.com">
- <Header>
<identifier>HDR</identifier>
<field1>001</field1>
<field2>001</field2>
<field3>R</field3>
</Header>
- <Detail>
<identifier>A</identifier>
<field1>000000002</field1>
<field2 />
<field3>Doretha.Walker</field3>
</Detail>
I thimk my configuration is correct as it is working correctly with the variable name change, However, maybe i missed something !

How can I use the Variable Delay VI (From DSP Module) to Deploy Variable Delay on Speddy-33

Dears,
I dont Understand How Can I Use the Variable Delay to Deploy Variable Delay on a Speedy-33 Kit

Hello,
Thank you for posting to the NI Forums!! You should be able to incorporate the Variable Delay.vi into your vi and then build as normal and the functionality of the vi should translate to the build. What type of build are you doing? Are you receiving any specific errors? Thanks!

Storing current slide in a variable, then using the variable to get back to that slide (Captivate 6)

I'm thinking there must be some info on this somewhere, because it's something people must want to do, but I haven't been able to find an answer.
I would like to set something up so that when a user clicks on a button, it will take them to a certain slide. But I want the current slide stored in a variable. And then, when they are ready to go back, there will be a return button, but it should check to see where they came from and then return them to that specific slide. Basically, a "return to last slide visited" type of advanced action. I can't use the "return to last slide" option because the slide they are taken to when they first click the button has multiple slides, so the "return to last slide" option would not take them to the last slide they were on before visiting this page. I tried to store this in a variable on a button click by assigning a variable with CpInfoCurrentSlide, and then jumping to a slide. But, I'm not sure how I would then use that info to return to this slide.

Captivate Advanced Actions don't actually provide an easy way to do this. It's another area we really need to address in forthcoming versions.
You need to use an On Enter Slide event to store the value of the cpInfoCurrentSlide system variable in a user variable.
Then you need to create another advanced action that can be triggered by your later button. Somewhat counterintuitively, you need to use an Expression action (rather than an Assign action) to assign the value captured in your user variable to cpCmndGotoSlide. But that's not all. Due to the way Captivate's slide indexes work, you'll need to deduct one from the value of your user variable before assigning it to cpCmndGotoSlide.
Then, unless you want the slide timeline to pause, you need to add a Continue action.
The final action looks a bit like this:

How to use the variable value "ALL"

Hello all,
I'm trying to use the value "all" for a selection variable in a Web Interface so that to have no restrictions for that specific variable and that all the rows are shown on the interface.
Unfortunately it does not seem to be working because when I select the value "all" the system seems to go back to the latest rows saved under a specific value for that variable and does not show all the rows saved under any variable's value.
Anyone knows how to make this work? One option is to remove the variable from the web interface altogether, but that's my last option.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Francesco

Hi Francesco,
why is leaving out the variable your last option? If you want to select "all" then you don´t need a variable.

I created an Execute SQL Task in ssis package to get the counts and store it in the variable and I use the variable in the control flow

I always get the count as 0 for the variable. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Please let me know if any of you know the fix.
Thanks

Here is the query I used now. Still same result
SELECT (select count(*) from usr_all_mbrs where PREMIER_YN = 'Y') AS count1
SELECT
(select
count(*)
from usr_all_mbrs
where PREMIER_YN
=
'Y')
AS count1

Query BI7: problem in using the variables of referenced caracteristics.

Dear Experts,
I have posted a question in "BI General" yesterday. Untill now, I haven't got any reply. So i decide to post it under this subject. And I hope somebody can help me.
A query was created on the basis of an Infoset, in which there are many caracteristics created with reference to some existed caracteristics.
However, in the new query, I was not able to use those variables which are already created and attached to the existed caracteristics. What's more, some variables are declared in the SAP exit, and they are compulsory in the new query.
Given a very short delay in the project, it seems to me impossible to create all the variables for my new query.
Is there anybody who has a solution or an idea for this problem?
Thanks in advance!!!

I was not able to use those variables which are already created and attached to the existed caracteristics.
Ya,you cannot use the same variable to two(or more) infoobjects (though they use same reference) but what I observed in was eventhoug you get Error messaga when you do check in query designer.If you ignore and just execute the query it simply works.Just give it a try.
Else you need to create new variables similar to existing one and use it.

I'm trying to use use the variable Evaluate, but doesn't work

Hi!
I need to use in the Evaluate of a variable, the condition where is the variable is > of another variable.
I wrote after that I checked the condition:
#VARIABLE or '#VARIABLE'
But it doesn't work. Both of variable is numeric.
What I have to do?
I hope to have soon a support because is really important.
Thanks in advance
Bye

I suggest that you must find out what the variables are, as I have tested the two variable EQUALS and NOT and it has worked, so it is a subtlety. Can you add a procedure step which uses a Jython step to print the variable value to the console of an agent so you see what it is comparing.
In my package I have the steps:
Declare variable A
Declare Variable B
Assign value to A
Assign valkue to B
Evaluate Variable A: equals #PROJECTCODE.B
On true step TRUE
On False step FALSE
I tried assigning B the same and different values, each time I ran I got the expected response.

Using the variable "Parameter" type in a BSP page

I have my code working to the point where I can call the BAPI -->BAPI_SERVNOT_GET_DETAIL and not have the program crash. Now what is happening is that when I pass it a value, I am not getting any data returned. I have traced through the program and there is a check that compare the value I entered with what is in the database. At this point I am getting a NOT FOUND error. I then run the BAPI in SE37 and it work fine with data returned when I enter the same value.
Most of the ABAP code for this BSP is coming from a Z-Transaction that our developer created, where the attribute P_QMUM is defined as:
PARAMETERS: P_QMNUM LIKE RIWO00-QMNUM OBLIGATORY
MEMORY ID IQM
matchcode object QMEG.
I have tried to enter the above code into my BAP, but get an error that 'PARAMETER' can not be defined in either the form or event handler.
1: do I really need to use the above declaration for P_QMNUM?
2: If so, then how do I enter it?
Thanks again for all the help
Also, I have been searching for any notes to cover this topic with no luck. Is there some trick that I can use to narrow the search so that I can get closer to a solution and not have to keep on asking quesiton of this group?

Hi John,
In normal ABAP Report / Executable program if we need to get some details from user, we use parameters or select-options. But in BSP we cannot use these, instead we have to make use of UI elements.
But in BSP, the scenario would be
You will have 2 pages, one for selection screen and other for result.
1. First page will have UI elements like input fields and Button for submit. onInputProcessing must be triggered on click on button, and set the value entered in input field to the second page attribute.
2. In the result page, onInitialization even handler read the value from first page and call the BAPI with that value and display the results in Layout.
Hope you are clear now
Regards,
Ravi

How to use the ph:placeholder tag propery (wlportal 4) ?

hi,
I created a placeholder with the help of ebcc. Next I loaded data into
cloudscape database. This data is a pure html file. It contains Meta Tags
like productCategory for example. My placeholder queries for this meta tag.
But eveytime it gets the data from the database and diplays it, I can see
the JSESSIONID at the page. Can anyone tell me, why the JSESSIONID is
diplayed?
It looks like :
mycontent .......... mycontent .... ;
JSESSIONID_MYPORTAL=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi,
I am having the same problem(WLP 4.0). The first time I load my application I
see this thing JSESSIONID_MYPORTAL=xxxxxxxxxxxx But when I refresh it it does
not show this thing again.I am uploading my placeholder file along with the jsp
and html file.
Please tell me what is wrong with it.
Thanx in advance...

Can you send the .pla file, the html file you loaded with loaddocs, and
the jsp with the <ph:placeholder> tag?
