• Substitution Variables database

  Hello guys,.

  In the EPM 11.1.2.3.500 system where are stored the substitution variables, wise db?

  Thank you

  Right-click on the server in the EA and then edit > Variables. Here, you will get a list of all the variables, and it will also show if they are set at the level of the server, the application or database level.

  For your next question, where variables are stored. All substitution variables are stored in the file essbase.sec (essbase security file)

  When you try to view the variables, it go from variable substitution, and when you try to edit and save any variable, then it will update the security file.

  Hope this helps

• global substitution variable vs. variable

  Hi gurus,

  Can we can use variables of surrogacy in Business (we can make it) Rules applicable for all the applications...

  So what exactly is the difference between global and variable substitution variable.

  Thank you

  ~ RN

  Yes you can use substitution variables.

  A global variable in trade rules can be used on all business rules and cannot be used in business rules, it has the added advantage that they can be defined as guests of the run time, more information on the variables

• Cannot use the #A01 substitution variable # in dynamic list

  Greetings...

  I want to generate a dynamic list on the page.  The list will contain an indicator that specifies whether or not the entry in the list is in fact hidden from the user.  If it is hidden to the user, then I want to apply a particular to this entry from the list class when rendering.

  The dynamic list has the following SQL code:

  SELECT null lvl,
         menu.menu_nm label_value,
         q'!javascript:$s('P32_MASTER_MENU_ID', '!' ||
            menu.menu_id || q'!');!' target_value,
         null image,
         null image_attribute,
         null image_alt_attribute,
         case when menu.hidden = 'Y'
                then 'class="hiddenNode"'
                else null end attribute1
  from ( select 'N' hidden, vis.* from std_vw_apex_menu vis
          union all
         select 'Y' hidden, hid.* from std_vw_apex_menu_hidden hid ) menu
  where menu.menu_ty = 'MAINMENU'
  order by menu.sort_order
  

  I then use a list template with the following as the entrance to the "current": list

  <li class="active"><a href="#LINK#"><span #A01#>#TEXT#</span></a></li>
  

  ... and list the following as the "Non-Current" entry:

  <li><a href="#LINK#"><span #A01#>#TEXT#</span></a></li>
  

  I see in the rendered however page result is that substitution does not, as it is shown in the following snippet:

  <li><a href="javascript:$s('P32_MASTER_MENU_ID', '18893191201');"><span #a01#="">Education</span></a></li>
  

  We are on ApEx 4.2.1.  What I'm doing wrong as I've seen other threads indicate that it is possible for dynamic lists to use substitution variables, as in their list templates.

  Shane.

  I found the solution to the attribute replacement does not not in the models of dynamic lists.

• How to use substitution variables, as in Microsoft Word using Hyperion Smart view

  Can we use the Substitution Variables to copy data points and cool off in Microsoft Word? I tried and it does not dynamically (copy the data points only copies what was in excellent cell right there). It copies only the static value of this variable for this cell. I want to use dynamically in Word so that if I change the value of this variable in Essbase, it is updated in Word on refresh. Any idea?

  We need this notification feature in microsoft word and keep using data points every year (instead of copy the cells of excellent on new)

  Any help or suggestion is appreciated.

  Thank you

  You may not use substitution variables, as with the copy data points. I tried a while back (after 111.1.2.1.102) and it wouldn't work.  I checked with Oracle development and they said that I is not available

• Reduce code SQL injection when forced to use substitution variables, as

  The 3rd party software that I use has exactly a way to allow users to specify execution settings: the Substitution variables.
  The scripts are executed using SQL * more. I'm looking for ways ensure this.
  
  Please, don't say "do not use substitution variables" - read above, it is the only way this software works.
  
  
  My first thought was something like this:

  var myvar varchar2(30)
  exec :myvar := '&user_input';

  It's no good. What happens if the user specifies "X"; ". run immediately "drop table sometable" then we get

  exec :myvar := 'X'; execute immediate 'drop table sometable';

  Once again, not good.
  
  I thought that perhaps something like the following would work:

  exec :myvar := dbms_assert.noop('&user_input');

  but then again, a malicious user could specify "'); run immediately "drop table sometable"; dbms_assert. NOOP('")
  
  I'm open to suggestions.
  What can I do to clean up the substitution variables?
  
  Thank you!
  
  Edited by: Yes on 30 January 2013 15:02

  If your attacker is able to enter a value for this parameter substitution is too late to worry.
  It can stop the execution of the script and enter a code of maliciious he wants. Or I missed something?

• Sharing the values of substitution variables complex between ASO and BSO of databases

  We ASO and Essbase BSO names of members of database with spaces in and need to store some of these member names in the substitution variables. However, this should be done differently for ASO and BSO, due to script syntax calc requiring double quotes and MDX requiring hooks. For example:
  
  ASO:
  & CurWeek value = 1 week
  MDX: [& CurWeek]
  
  ASF:
  & CurWeek value = "week 1".
  Calc script: & CurWeek
  
  Therefore, the substitution variables can be shared between ASO and BSO, cubes because the value of the variable BSO requires double quotes because of the space in the name of the Member.
  
  Is there a way to get the above to work with ASO and OSB? Unable to escape the quotes in the calc script syntax? Or double quotes can be removed in the MDX formula?

  Yuck! I'm curious to see if someone has a really elegant solution to this. :)

  I'm sure you have seen this already, but a workaround is to create an alias that is not a space (or probably better, use a name without a space Member but leave some space in the alias).

  What is your specific motivation to avoid the solution two variables? If it is purely of synchronization, do not forget that even with a variable unique no guarantees of the formulas of Member ASO and BSO calc scripts will be always synchronized without a response, because the formulas (by the SER60) pick up not a new value until the application is restarted.

• Business rule - unable to name the text data using substitution variables

  Hello
  
  I can't assign a value of text stored in a variable substitution. I read the posts that you can't assign string values I just want to check if it was possible using substitution variables.
  
  For example.,.
  
  Trouble (scenario, Version and year)
  
  "Test year".
  (
  "Test year" = &;
  );
  
  EndFix
  
  & those is a substitution variable whose value is "FY13.
  
  Please advice.
  
  Thanks, Cz

  The same rules apply, you must apply a numerical value, because this is what is stored in essbase data compared to the intersection.

• Assign the numeric value of Substitution Variable?

  What I try to do is:
  
  Read a CSV file via the unix shell and choose some columns in each row
  Transmit the data to a MaxL Script
  Assign the data passed to substitute variables in the MaxL script.
  
  Problem:
  
  Two of the columns contain digital data (for example: 0.5 or 60 etc..) I want to set the substitution variables in these digital data (without the quotes). I tried to use
  
  Edit the < app and cube name > database variable 'Variable' $1;
  
  but it gives me error
  ERROR - syntax error 1242021-1 ['. 5']
  I tried with quotes single and double, but they value the value of the variable $1
  
  If I manually set the value of this Variable through the Regional service to 0.5, everything works perfectly. Any ideas on how to do this? the Ser60 does not provide a solution.

  An example is

  startMaxl scriptname.mxl "0.5"

  alter database appname.dbname set variable "VariableName" $1;

  or

  startMaxl scriptname.mxl 0.5

  alter database appname.dbname set variable "VariableName" ' \'$1\' ";

• Re: Enter Substitution Variable pop up

  Windows 2008 - OS
  Oracle 11.2.0.2 - database
  Developer SQL 3.1.0.7
  
  I get a very annoying pop ups on the seizure of a variable substitution with Oracle SQL Developer, how can I leave it?
  I have the pop-up when I try to open any connection, it doesn't matter what database.

  You have a login.sql with substitution variables?

  Tools | Preferences | Database | The name of the connection startup script file.

  OR

  If you have defined as an environment variable SQLPATH it may be picked up from there.

• Possible values range Setup for essbase for reports substitution variables

  Hi all
  
  I tried to define a substitution variable that holds the current month and the previous in current year called curryrmnths. For example, the current month is March, the value of the variable must be Jan, Feb, Mar.
  
  I am trying to use this variable for reports in order to make dynamic reports, instead of manually enetering the new month each time. (We use the reports financial hyperion).
  
  I tried different syntaxes like,
  
  Jan: Mar
  Jan, Feb, Mar
  "Jan, Feb, Mar.
  
  But none seems not to work, they arise while setting in the reports.
  
  Can anyone suggest a solution? How a range of values is dynamically adjustable in a report?
  
  Your answers would be appreciated.
  
  Thank you.

  Take a look at these discussions - your condition has been discussed quite a bit more in the forum of queries and reports:

• Enter i: Substitution Variable (capital letter I for Indigo)

  Hi all
  
  I need emergency to run a query in SQL Developer today, but one of my ' case... when ' clauses which I had to slightly modify is originally the query request a Substitution Variable. I have never seen it before and that you see that no fault in my code so I am confused and getting frustrated why this problem appeared suddenly today on the performance reports.
  
  The original clause works very well:
  

                    ,case when lower(class_name) like ('%funding note%')
                          then 0
                          else orig_bal
                    end orig_bal_amd

  I changed it to this:
  

                   
   ,case when geo_segment_name in ('NorthAmer')
                          then case when bus_grp_typ in ('CMBS')
                                    then case when c_bond_type_desc not in ('P&I') 
                                              then c_notional_amount
                                              else orig_bal
                                         end
                                    else case when lower(class_name) like ('%funding note%')
                                              then 0
                                              else orig_bal
                                         end
                               end
                          else orig_bal
                    end orig_bal_amd

  or this:
  

                    ,case when geo_segment_name in ('NorthAmer')
                          and bus_grp_typ in ('CMBS')
                          then case when c_bond_type_desc not in ('P&I') 
                                    then c_notional_amount
                                    else orig_bal
                               end
                          else case when geo_segment_name in ('NorthAmer') 
                                    and lower(class_name) like ('%funding note%')
                                    then 0
                                    else orig_bal
                              end 
                    end orig_bal_amd  

  also, strangely what amounts to what above to be syntactically identical to the first cause (work) more simple, is also causing the problem of substitution.
  

                    ,/*case when geo_segment_name in ('NorthAmer')
                          and bus_grp_typ in ('CMBS')
                          then case when c_bond_type_desc not in ('P&I') 
                                    then c_notional_amount
                                    else orig_bal
                               end
                          else */case --when geo_segment_name in ('NorthAmer') 
                                    when lower(class_name) like ('%funding note%')
                                    then 0
                                    else orig_bal
                              end orig_bal_amd         
                    -- end orig_bal_amd  

  does anyone have an idea why this is happening? I really need to get this data race and I have no idea what is causing this problem.
  
  Thank you very much in advance for any ideas.

  Hello

  Change the condition

  c_bond_type_desc not in ('P&I')
  
  to
  
  c_bond_type_desc not in ('P'||'&'||'I')
  

  The reason in & I is treated as a parameter that requires a value or as you say substitution.

• How to prevent substitution variable recognition?

  Hi, is it possible to prevent the recognition of the substitution variables in a SQL worksheet? I would like for example, run the following query in SQL Developer 2.1.1.64:
  

  SELECT UTL_HTTP.request ('http://localhost:8088/foo/servlet/bar?x=10&y=10')
    FROM DUAL;

  Here, ' & y' is not a substitution variable, but a query parameter. Is it possible to escape the sign '& '? Or any other way to run this query without proxy?
  
  Thanks in advance.
