OBIEE Using ORACLE stored procedures part 2

In the connection pool you are able to define connection scripts in 4 events:

• "Execute on connect" -> Very usefull point for security logging events
• "Execute before query" -> Ideal to fill a global temp table or to do some execution logging
• "Execute after query" -> To close you execution loging
• "Execute on dissconnect -> close your security log

Sadly in the OBIEE documentation (10.1.3.x ) there is no info about these options... I did some research (mostly trail and error) on how to incoperate variables in these scripts. The syntax for this is different then in the rest of OBIEE.

All parameters have to be enclosed in single quotes:

• ':USER', ':PASSWORD'
• 'VALUEOF(REPOSITORY_VARIABLE)'
• 'VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.SESSION_VARIABLE)'

If you want to pass something from the dashboard put in a session variable.

The execution string is build like

BEGIN SCHEMA.PACKAGE_NAME.PROCEDURE_NAME('PARAMETER'); END;

Don't forget the semicolons ';'
