Oracle BI EE Variables

really quick

Some time ago I compiled a document about the various variables in Oracle BI EE, how to set them, how to get them etc.

We have the following variables in Oracle BI EE:

1. Server-side variables
1.1. Repository variables (dynamic and static)
1.2. Session variables (system and non-system)

2. Presentation variables

I tried to condense the information of the a/m document and have created a single page doc which gives an overview of the variable types and how to

• initialize the variables
• set the variable values
• access the variable values from within the rpd and Answers (all about the notorious @{variable} style syntax in Answers)
