hello i want to reset the userdefined install anywhere variables

[james_decosta]

hello,
i have a requirement in which i need to reset the user input variables
I want to continue only if the user inputs the correct variables .If he inputs wrong variables, i will make him to move back to the previous panel and this process will continue untill he inputs the correct results.
For resetting the user input install anywhere variables.i use ruleProxy.setVariable("$USER_INPUT_RESULT_3$",null);
and then he can set the varaibles but it does not happen .
Can anyone suggest me some way how to reset the user input variables.

null won't work, check the manual, i think there is a variable called $EMPTY_STRING$ with an alias as $NULL$. Use one of these instead.

P.S.: I think it would be a good idea to read the whole manual once!

ruleProxy.setVariable("$USER_INPUT_RESULT_0","$NULL$");
ruleProxy.setVariable("$USER_INPUT_RESULT_1","$NULL$");
ruleProxy.setVariable("$USER_INPUT_RESULT_2","$NULL$");
ruleProxy.setVariable("$USER_INPUT_RESULT_3","$NULL$");
ruleProxy.setVariable("$USER_INPUT_RESULT_4","$NULL$");

hello,
I am displaying a "GET USER INPUT ADVANCED" option in which i am asking for the user to input database sever information.i am asking the ipaddress,username, password,port number and database to connect to.
When he inputs wrong information i should not allow him forward untill he inputs correct information.
But this is my headache. When i input the information for the first time(say right usernames,password etc),a panel saying "DB connection is right " is displayed.When i move back to the previous panel and input wrong information this time then also it is displaying the same panel saying "DB connection is right ".
Similarily for the wrong username and password , it displays a panel saying "DB connection is not done properly,now when i move and input the right information also then also it is displaying the "DB connection is not done properly " panel.
What shall i do???? any suggestions please.

hi,
i am unable to upload the project as the size of the zip file is 9365KB.
What shall i do to upload my project.
and even when i tried to upload the .iap_xml,it is invalidating the file,please suggest

By your project, we mean only the single .iap_xml file. This is the only thing we need (we don't need your resource files etc.) If you zip this single file I guess this should do the trick.

what shall i do or shall i paste it as a txt document

James,
There have been other posts that will solve your problem here.
If you notice your code

ruleProxy.setVariable("$USER_INPUT_RESULT_0","$NULL$");

There are 2 things wrong with it. 1. You are missing the end $ around the USER_INPUT_RESULT_0. 2. You are setting the variable with the value "$NULL$" which is what I assume you don't want.

You have to evaluate the $NULL$ from IA first.
Do something like this...

String emptyString = ruleProxy.substitute("$NULL$");
ruleProxy.setVariable("$USER_INPUT_RESULT_0$", emptyString);

Also, there have been other posts on this forum explaining that to upload your project (.iap_xml) file, you should zip it first.

[pv7721]

Take your single .iap_xml file and zip it! Then upload the resulting archive!

Hi every body the user defined IAvariables can be refreshed easily if we write a custom panel. I am writing a sample panel code as below:

import com.zerog.ia.api.pub.CustomCodePanel;
import com.zerog.ia.api.pub.CustomCodePanelProxy;

public class TradescopeOptionsPanel extends CustomCodePanel {
boolean inited=false;

public boolean setupUI(CustomCodePanelProxy customCodePanelProxy) {
if(!inited)
{
//all your code for designing the panel goes here
inited=true;
}
return true;
}


As above we need to declare a boolean variable "inited" as false and make it true after the setupUI execution. It wrks,chk it
