Problem on set global variable [message #1009160]

Hi all,
i have this problem: on onFetch of one Data Set i insert one global varible like this:

reportContext.setPersistentGlobalVariable("MARKER_MIN","2");

in a chart i try to use this varible in this way:

function beforeDrawMarkerLine(axis, markerLine, icsc){
   importPackage(Packages.org.eclipse.birt.chart.model.data.impl);
   importPackage(Packages.org.eclipse.birt.chart.model.component.impl);
   var val=icsc.getExternalContext().getScriptable().getPersistentGlobalVariable("MARKER_MIN");
   markerLine.setValue(NumberDataElementImpl.create(val)) ;
}

but i received this error:
Can't find method org.eclipse.birt.chart.model.data.impl.NumberDataElementImpl.create(null).
I used also SetGlobalVariable and getGlobalVariable but i received the same error
what is wrong?

If you put this:
reportContext.setPersistentGlobalVariable("MARKER_MIN","2")

In the beforeFactory, do you have the same issue?

Queries are executed when the report runs and only if they are bound to an item that is getting created. If you have two queries, they execute before the creation of the items that uses the respective queries created, but other than that you can not guarantee the order because it can be changed on things like aggregation. Generally if you want to hook something like onFetch it is often better to just hook the onCreate of the table row that uses it.

Hi Jason,

Thanks

Great question. By default the query will only execute once. If you are using BIRT 4.2 or later you can change this behavior.

Hi,

I am setting a global variable value in onFetch of a dataset.

var test = row["product_count"];

if(test == null){
reportContext.setPersistentGlobalVariable("NewVariableElement","is null");
}
else{
reportContext.setPersistentGlobalVariable("NewVariableElement",test);
}

But When I tried to read the variable from beforeFactory i am getting null.
var tstvalue = reportContext.getPersistentGlobalVariable("NewVariableElement");

If i place the variable some where in the report i will get proper value.
I am using this variable value to do a check for dropping a table.

Please help me to solve this issue..

Thanks in advance
Sandeep

The dataSet will not have ran yet. This is why the value is not showing properly in the beforeFactory. You could use the data engine to run the dataSet to check the value you're wanting in the beforeFactory, otherwise, you could just hide the table rather than drop it.
