Session variables and presentation. Examples?

Could someone provide me with some info and examples on how I can display the contents of the session variables and presentation?

I read the manual, I can use @{presentation.variable} - as of the statements, but they do not seem to work. Anyone have an example?

Thank you very much in advance

Fabio,
It is interesting to read the presentation services administration guide familiarize themselves with these, it is one of the best pieces of documentation.

To reference a variable use of presentation @{VariableName}, if you write this in an expression you can set a default value using @{VariableName} {defaultvalue}

  • Helps the guest of session variable and dashboard

    Hi, I ran into soemthing that I can't understand.

    In the administration tool, I defined a CURR_MONTH session variable and set the query to find month max in the date dimension. It's all works fine - if I test the variable in OBIEE administration tool, it currently returns "January 2010".»

    In addition, in the responses, I can create a query that moves back calendar information and then put a filter on it so the specific columns is equal to the session variable. It works perfectly - I get the 3 lines of return data that correspond to the 3 days of data we loaded for January 2010.


    However, now that I'm trying to do is set a dashboard with the dimension command prompt date in it. I want the default to months / year equal to the value of CURR_MONTH. However, when I do this, instead of getting the correct value, for some reason some, it becomes the default value I put in place for this variable.

    Any ideas on what I am doing wrong or if it is a bug?

    Thanks in advance,
    Scott

    p.s. using OBIEE 10.1.3.4, with no applied patches. I'll upload pictures when I get home... is not a way to their work stations.

    Hi Scott,.

    I just tested and it works fine for me.

    (1) in your DB guest pass by default to
    (2) select the Server Variable
    (3) NQ_SESSION. CURR_MONTH
    (4) save and test

    Well, that should work for you. Here is a link to a jpg file that you should probably keep for future reference. She'll show you the proper syntax to use in different situations.

  • Session variable

    Hello

    I want to know is a way of the set/get on oracle sqlplus or vb.net session variable? How?

    Thank you!

    Devotee wrote:
    Could you please give me more detail (s) how do I set and get the session on the oracle sqlplus or vb.net database variable?

    Why do you want a session variable and what is the purpose?

    A PL/SQL, once loaded, package remains loaded for the duration of the session (except manual reset). This allows to use a package for the encapsulation of global session variables. For example

    create or replace package SessionVariable as
      sessionID number;
      sessionState varchar2(20) := 'INIT';
      --// etc.
    end;
    

    From an external client, you simply use an anonymous PL/SQL block to set and read these variables via bind variable:

    --// set a state variable
    begin
      SessionVariable.sessionID := :1;
    end;
    
    --// read state variables
    begin
      :1 := SessionVariable.sessionID;
      :2 := SessionVariable.sessionState;
    end;
    

    Another method, as illustrated by Alex, uses an Oracle context aka Namespace. There are 2 types of namespaces. Approved and unapproved.

    Alex shows no reliable context. The customer can create and set session variables.

    A context of trust is one where the procedure that is assigned to acts of context as an autoexec.bat or + .bash_profile script - where this script creates and sets session variables. For example, the procedure could connect to an LDAP server using the existing user identification information, read an additional security and role of the LDAP attribute values and create session for these variables.

    This context confidence means that variables of session (for this context) is reliable because she was not defined by the client (running wild). This customer ran on the contrary this procedure and this procedure containing a code of confidence created the required session variables and assign values (which cannot trust) to these variables.

    A context of trust is often used to implement VPDB (virtual private databases) in Oracle.

    One last comment. The PL/SQL package approach works very well (as a namespace not approved), but does not support the use of SQL. You cannot use static package from SQL variables (unless SQL is inside PL/SQL).

    An appropriate context can be used in PL/SQL and SQL.

  • Date format changes in the variable of presentation

    Hello
    I have a problem with the date stored in the variable of presentation.

    I have simple guest with the calendar control (default value date is set to session or deposit to the current date variable). Selected date is stored in the variable of presentation PP_DATE.
    I have a simple report with the title to view the contents of the variable PP_DATE.

    And now the problem.

    When I navigate to the page of dashboard with this report, I will get date of variable PP_DATE in a format (there are difference when I use the variable session or repository). After that I have will push the Start button, I get a different date format of variable PP_DATE.

    Screenshots are stored and described in this PDF file: [PDF with screenshots: https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download & id = 0B2LOPOBteIShMDRmYTJlYTItNmYyZC00ODdkLWE5NjktNzI1N2RlNWMwZjBk]

    There is difference between session variable and repository. When I use the reference variable I'll get "TIMESTAMP."... "the variable PP_DATE, which is the default initialization in variable Repository Manager. I tried to remove the boot by default, but I automatically added after saving changes.
    What is the default value of crimped guest of session variable, I get another date variable PP_DATE format that refers to DATE_TIME_DISPLAY_FORMAT = "yyyy-mm-dd hh:mi:ss.mss" (from NQSConfig.ini). I changed standard value DATE_TIME_DISPLAY_FORMAT ' yyyy/mm/dd hh' to "yyyy-mm-dd hh:mi:ss.mss" because I am reading data from excel, where dates are stored in the format MSSQL. But this isn't the reason for my problem. I have the same problem also with standard DATE_TIME_DISPLAY_FORMAT.

    The result of this strange behavior is that I get errors when I do some calculations (e.g. TimeStampDiff) to the variable PP_DATE. I get the error when I am accessing the dashboard page. Everything is ok after that I will push the Start button.

    You have some tips?

    Thank you

    Hello

    In my SPR file, I created a variable current_year of session, and it works without any problems,
    I created a simple reprot that has a column time.year
    and I added a filter on the year: session variable: current_year

    I tested the report and everything is ok

    After that, I created a dashboard quickly with a time.year column and added the report to a dashboard.

    Now when a selection of value for the year from the prompt overide the session variable. For example if I choose the year: 2009
    then the display of the 2009 report

    is not the expected behavior, I expect BIEE to display the year according to the session variable.


    THX

    Two things:
    (1) use a variable repository instead of a session variable. Only use session variables when they are dependent on the user when you need a variable that has the same value for all users, you must use a variable repository.
    (2) protect the filter that uses the variable. http://obiee101.blogspot.com/2008/07/OBIEE-protect-filter.html

  • Level security line with session variables, not recommended?

    Hello

    We are on the point of implement security level line in our project of BI using OBIEE, and the solution that we found more convenient to our requirement was to use session with blocks of initialization variables.

    The problem is that this method is listed as "not recommended" in the Oracle documentation.

    Administration of alternative security options - 11g Release 1 (11.1.1)

    (This appendix describes alternative security administration options included for backward compatibility with improved systems and are not considered a best practice.)

    The Session Variables management

    Session system variables get their values of initialization blocks and are used to authenticate Oracle Business Intelligence users against external sources such as LDAP servers or database tables. Each active session of BI server generates session variables and initializes them. Each instance of session variable can be initialized to a different value. For more information on the use of variables and blocks of Oracle Business Intelligence session initialization, see 'Use of Variables in Oracle's BI repository' in Oracle Fusion Middleware metadata repository Builder of Guide for Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition.

    How confused... What is the best practice then?

    Thank you for your help.

    authentication / authorizing the part is dealing with weblogic and then initialized the variable USER and you can use it for any initblocks for safety.

    Block of init to authenticate / variable session and authorization are different, I guess that you mix the two.

    Hi all

    I am needing a little help with the help of a session variable, and I hope someone can point me in the right direction.

    I created a PHP page that uses the Dreamweaver 'User authentication' feature and the basics of this works very well, to direct a user to the correct page depending on whether they are or are not a valid user. I want to customize the page 'user valid' with people, user name entered in the authentication of the user table... a seemingly simple task using a session variable, but I just seem not to be able to make it work!

    Would be very grateful for your expertise

    Mark

    It seems that you put the columns incorrectly in the user authentication server behavior. This is the SQL query that checks the credentials of the user:

    $LoginRS__query = sprintf ("SELECT firstname, name OF web_access WHERE firstname = %s AND family name = %s",

    GetSQLValueString ($loginUsername, "text"), GetSQLValueString ($password, "text"));

    You are looking for first name and last name, while you should look for the user name and password of the user.

    $_SESSION ['MM_Username"] is a session variable that stores the login name of the user. To use it in a page, all that is needed is the page start with session_start(). You can then echo the value to display.

    If you want to display the person's true name, you must create a recordset in the second page, use of $_SESSION ['MM_Username'] to search for the first name and the patronymic. Alternatively, you can change the code like this (I copied only part of it):

    $LoginRS__query = sprintf ("SELECT firstname, surname OF web_access WHERE firstname = %s AND password is %s",

    GetSQLValueString ($loginUsername, "text"), GetSQLValueString ($password, "text"));

    $LoginRS = mysql_query ($LoginRS__query, $panto) or die (mysql_error ());

    $loginFoundUser = mysql_num_rows ($LoginRS);

    If {($loginFoundUser)

    $loginStrGroup = "";

    $row = mysql_fetch_assoc ($LoginRS);

    $_SESSION ['full_name'] = $row ["FirstName"]. ' ' . $row ['name'];

    If (via PHP_VERSION > = 5.1) {session_regenerate_id (true) ;} else {session_regenerate_id() ;}

    Declare two session variables and assign them

    $_SESSION ['MM_Username"] = $loginUsername;

    $_SESSION ["MM_UserGroup"] = $loginStrGroup;

    You can then use $_SESSION ['full_name'] in a page which begins with session_start().

  • Impossible to filter a recordset using a session variable

    I have a voluntary application page, then when volunteers press < Submit > their info is stored in a MySQl db table and a session variable is created containing the primary key of the record in the table, control is passed to a page of 'success' The success page accesses the session variable (I proved this by displaying the session on the success page variable) so my next step was to create a recordset in the success with a filter page using the session variable to select the appropriate line in the table, allowing me to view the volunteer to the info They argued.

    I created a page to pass the test that displays the session variable and a field of the volunteer info. When I test this I can't see the session variable is displayed, but the corresponding volunteer info of the recordset field is not displayed.

    The volunteer application page is here www.hollisterairshow.com/volunteerapp.php and the successpage is here www.hollisterairshow.com/thanksvol.php

    The code that creates the session variable in the voluntary application page is displayed below

    $_SESSION ['volunteer_id'] = mysql_insert_id();

    The code to display the session variable in the success page is shown below

    <? PHP echo $_SESSION ['volunteer_id'];? >

    The code to display the volunteer info is shown below

    Thank you < h1 > <? PHP echo $row_rsVolunteerApp ["FirstName"];? >! < / h1 >

    The recordset definition is shown below

    rsVolunteerApp.jpg

    The result of the test success page is shown below, as you can see the name of the volunteers is not displayed immediately after the "Thank you" message, but the session variable containing the correct primary key (41) is displayed correctly.

    sessiontest.jpg

    Someone has an idea what I am doing wrong?

    Thank you

    Tony

    Where did you put session_start()? It should be before the variable is accessible. This is obviously before the line that displays the value in your page, but that's before the SQL query is generated?

    Also, have you checked in phpMyAdmin to see if volunteernumber 41A all values in the database?

    QUESTION: How can I get form elements hidden for primelang, studylang, country and nationality of the Login form Post table to become the session variables?

    Adobe page at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/165/tn_16563.html gave me the info that didn't work because the code is old. The first question I asked was answered in useful, but partial and no values are appearing. All this is set out below, and I don't know if I can shorten and still make sense.

    Page 1 has a form of connection with six fields.

    The textfields in form are the user name and password.

    The hidden form fields are: nationality, country, studylang, primelang and their values will be set by incoming was a previous page URL or hard-coded in.

    After the "connect" button is pushed, I want that these four form fields hidden, nationality, country, studylang, and primelang and their values, proceed to the next page, as of Session Variables and then be available to all pages so I can use them in the links to other pages and in < img src="folderX/SessionVariableValue/book1.php. > Make sense?

    Each page of support seems to work:
    On the login page, the $MM_redirectLoginSuccess = "yadayada.php"; works very well.

    I used <? PHP if ($_POST) {print_r($_POST) ;}? > to check the post table and it works properly for all areas.

    I created links to the four Session Variables with the same words: primelang, studylang, country, nationality, and them deployed on the recipient page:

I have deployed it in the code of the head, but the gentleman who offered assistance previously not a not inform me how to get the hidden field values in the "what".

    <? PHP session_start();
    $_SESSION ['nationality'] = 'whatever ';
    $_SESSION ['studylang'] = 'whatever ';
    $_SESSION ['primelang'] = 'whatever ';
    $_SESSION ['country'] = 'whatever ';

    $nationality = $HTTP_POST_VARS ['nationality'];
    $studylang = $HTTP_POST_VARS ["studylang"];
    $primelang = $HTTP_POST_VARS ["primelang"];
    $country = $HTTP_POST_VARS ['country'];
    ? >

    What is the magic, missing link?

    I tried to use form Variables to pick up the values, but PHP doesn't, or I messed up.  I can't find a FULL explanation of how to create, move, retrieve and deploy the Session Variables anywhere on the web. Thank you for your help.

    What is the magic, missing link?

    You're going to start, but the magic missing link is the realization that "it doesn't matter" is a fictitious string that represents everything you want to assign to the session variable.

    
    

    $HTTP_POST_VARS and $HTTP_GET_VARS are obsolete. You must replace them by $_POST and $_GET respectively.
