We have our application running in WebFOCUS 7.7.02. In which we get a default amper variable &MRUSERID which gives us the user ID of the person who logs in. Filtering that value against the CASTER_USER column in the BOTUPROF repository table will give me the user's full name - Which we print in the criteria page as "Report Generated By:".


We are now migrating to WebFOCUS 8.0.0.1. In this I am not getting any &MRUSERID. Even I tried -? & to get the list of default variables, but none gave me the user ID.

Can someone suggest me the way to get the user ID who has logged in and running the reports.

Info : Also in 8 BOTUPROF now changed to UOA_USERS.

Hi,

I am not sure about this but &MRUSERID might be a custom variable that is being passed from the WF client on to the RS. You will have to PASS the & variable from the client to the server for ex &IBIMR_user ....not sure if the WF8 client admin console allows to change the profile files.

thanks

I user IBIMR_user not &MRUSERID, but I have it set in Custom Setting in the Administration Console on the Client

 <set> IBIMR_user(pass)


I also noticed in 8001M It displayes your userid when you log in on the Welcome screen, but if you run a Portal it displays "Anonymous" I opened a case for it.


WebFOCUS 8.1.05

A guess: Perhaps your site.wfs file was customised in WF77, and you need to do the same in WF8.
e.g.
this could have been done from the Admin console, or by editing the relevant webfocus /client/etc/site.wfs file:
<sendvar>
MRUSERID=&IBIMR_user
<endsendvar>


WebFOCUS 8.2.06 mostly Windows Server

I just tried -TYPE &IBIMR_user , That again does not work. I think, I need to work with the Admin people for the client level settings. Let me check.


Thanks,
