Dynamic variable creation

i would like to know how to make use of bind variables in RPD variable creation . I tried creating in oracle10g by giving a sql query in Initiliazation block . I want to select a column based on a certain user input . For Your information i cannot use ':user' because it by default takes then current user who has logged in .

If you are solely asking for a variable that would hold the value of username, Yes that is possible. It depends on the type of authentication you are using. Assuming you are using an LDAP server, providing the solution below:
1) Source the list of usernames in to a external table in the database.
2) Create an intialization block to populate that value based on user login.
Ex: select username1 from externaltable where username1=':user' - Data Source
variablename - Data target.
Now you can use this in your required init block.
Hope this answers your question.
Please award points if helpful.

Variable creation in TestStand through CVI

I have one steptype in which during Edit, the new variable has been created. I also saved that sequence. If I close that sequence file with that steptype and reopen the same sequence, the variable created last time was not there. I think these variable are not getting stored with sequence. The steptype building block is created in CVI. Those edit time variable creation is done by means of using “TS_PropOption_InsertIfMissing” functions in CVI. Can you please tell us is there any CVI functions to create variable during edit time and to be saved with the sequence.??

Once again, Expression Strings, has stumbled another programmer!
Parameters.DatabaseOptions.ConnectionString is not a string but an Expression String, and your assignment of a StationGlobals.Database ( just a string ) is causing this error.
Here is what I did to solve your issue:
1.) StationGlobals ( remove the leading "\" and trailing \"" from the Database string ) it should contain NO leading or trailing quotes
StationGlobals.Database = Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Persist Security Info=False;Data Source=C:\\Users\\Public\\Documents\\National Instruments\\TestStand 4.2.1\\Components\\Models\\TestStand Results.mdb.
2.) In Database Options Callback use the following expression to set the Data Source
Parameters.DatabaseOptions.ConnectionString= "StationGlobals.Database"
There are other alternatives as documented in this link.

Variable creation error

Hello gurus,
I want to create some reports.
Report requirement documents are there but i want your views with it.
In there it says create
Selection criteria when u execute a query
=> We have to create variables for those.
After that it says
Sold to Customer with
Selection options of SINGLE VALUE, RANGE & LIST..
Like wise i have lots of characteristics with SAME SELECTION OPTION
So what type of variable shall i create.
Any suggestions will be really appreciated.
pOINTS WILL BE AWARDED

Hi,
You can create the variable as a Selection Option variable. This lets the user enter a single value, a range and list as well.

Variable creation on navigational attribute?

HI all ,
Can we create navigational variable on navigational atribute .
regards,
Srinivas .

Hi,
When we make an attribute as navigational..then that attribute behaves exactly like any other characterstics.so
you can create variables for the same in order to drilldown the query for detailed analysis on navigational attribute level.
hope this is clear for you.

Text variable creation Error.

Hello gurus ,
I am working in BI 7
I have to design a Report in which i want follwoing key figures in column
Net volume (User entry range of month)      Billing Product (same range of month)
Now the trickiest part is that whatever user enters on Selection Screen i.e the range of month of year they wanted to see the output,
they also want to see the same range entered in Report output.
For e.g.
user enters   Jan-March 2007
Then in query output it shuld show
Net volume (Jan-March 2007)      Billing Product (Jan-March 2007)
Like wise.
So if it aggregates the data for January to March , there is no worries.
What i did?
I restricted Net volume in Selection screen with Fiscal year/period.
I restricted Fiscal year/period with Standard Interval range variable.(Because in its technical name the prefix was "0")
Then i tried creating Text variable, and tried to include it in Description,
BUT OVER THERE WHILE INCLUDING IT , I WAS UNABLE TO SEE THE INTERVAL RANGE VARIABLE.
So i tried creating my own variable, and tried to use it.
IF i use my own created variable everywhere i dont get output.
But if i use Standard SAP provided variable everywhere, I am unable to include it while creating Text variable.
Where did i go wrong ?
For text variable i followed this procedure
Message: Create Text Var - >Type of var - Text ->Processing type - Replca Path ->Time char on which u hav created the interval var ->Replcaement Path - > Replacement Tab : Replacement Variable -Variable - > Variable - Giv the Interval Variable
- > Replace with key or text.
Please advise

Noviced,
Best to create your own but you will need two. One to show you the From value and one to show you the To Value.
When you are selecting the display type, you will see an option on that Dialogue box to show the From or To.

Variable creation for Workbook

Hi,
Please can we create the variable for the workbook... which is used for multiple queries.... if yes how...
Regards,
Sonu

Hi Sonu,
Workbook is nothing but executing number of queries at a single time.
If there is any link between say example 2 queries like Customer and the variable used is also same one, then System asks only 1 time for the variable.
So that the same value put in first variable screen of first query will be input for second variable screen of other Query.
If there are different variables used in that queries then there will be two variable screen options (Except Common variable).

OSB 11g Variable Creation

Hi,
The title is rather self-descriptive, but I'll elaborate a bit anyway. I'm receiving data from a local proxy service in and performing validation on it. After validation,the data has to be transformed into two target formats, i.e. the validating proxy service calls on two separate business services in sequence. So, I'm trying to store the incoming data into a variable using assign activity, and then transform this data into two separate formats and publish them to the appropriate business service. However, server logs reveal that the publish activities do not occur. Could anyone please enlighten me as to what I'm doing wrong?

Yeah, that's what I'm doing. And Unit testing for the business services show that they are working fine, so no issues there. Now, what I'm attempting to do is as follows:
1. I've set up a pipeline in the proxy service message flow.
2. In the first stage. I'm copying the contents of $body into a variable $temp.
3. In the second stage, I'm performing business validations on the data in $body.
4. If stage 2 doesn't throw an error, in the following two stages I'm applying Xquery Transform on $temp and passing the data to $body in a replace activity.
5. I'm checking the JMS Queue, and finding nothing.
6. I'm going crazy.

Customer Exit variable creation

All,
I have the follwoing requirement
Variable : Requested delivery date ( Range , Mandatory)
Rows: --- Columns
Average monday - Actual Orders
Average Tuesday --Actual Orders
Average wednesday - Actual Orders
Average thursday - Actual Orders
Average friday --Actual Orders
Based on the user entry , The query has to calculate Actual orders by different days..
I think I have to write customer exit variable. or is there any other/better solution..
thanks
srinivas

Hi,
We can do it by using Customer Exit code, but it requires more efforts to do teh same. For Customer EXit codes with example please see the url.

Dynamic type variable creation

I want to create a variable with a pre-defined TYPE, but the latter will only be known at runtime.
For instance:
Consider that I my DEFINITIONS1 include file is:
TYPES: BEGIN OF type1,
                field1 TYPE i,
                field2 TYPE i,
                field3 TYPE i,
            END OF type1,
              BEGIN OF cust_type_A,
                   INCLUDE TYPE type1.
TYPES:       erdat TYPE vbak-erdat,
              END OF cust_type_A,
             BEGIN OF cust_type_B,
                   INCLUDE TYPE type1.
TYPES:       fkdat TYPE vbrk-fkdat,
              END OF cust_type_B.
Than I have the following code (assume "letter" is a character parameter I receive, either 'A' or 'B'):
INCLUDE definitions1.
DATA: z TYPE REF to data.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs> TYPE ANY.
DATA str type string.
CONCATENATE 'MY_CUST_TYPE_' letter INTO str.
CREATE DATA z TYPE (str).
* ASSIGN z->* TO <fs>.
Why is that that the CREATE DATA z TYPE (str) statement fails ?
How, then, I create a variable/field symbol from a specific type, which will only be known at runtime ?
Thanks
Avraham

BeX: New Variable Creation

Hi *,
I have created a variable "Calendar Year" for a BeX query. For another query too, I need to have the variable for Calendar Year. Can I use the previously created variable of that query in the current query ?
Because, I can see that it allows me to do so but the same is not visible in the transport connection for that particular query.
Regards,
Srinivas

Hi Srinivas,
You can define variables at quey level and also at data target level.
If you create a variable at the query level you can use that variable in all the queries which are based on that.
Tranportation of that variable is required only once, once you tranported that varibale you can use that variable any times. No need to tranport it again
