A user set temporary variables in a Visio file.
When he closes the view, all the variable values are removed. He would like to save them so when he reopens the visual overview, the last variable values appear.
How can he do that?
No, currently all values are unique per user and device. The stored session variables (with ‘__saved_’ prefix) are saved for the current user on that machine.
I assume you are referring to the use of session variables in Visual Overview. From 9.0.5 onwards, session variables can be saved across sessions, you can do that by adding the "__saved_" prefix to the session variable name. Note that a session variable also has a scope that defines the perimeter within which it will be available. If you do a quick search in the DataMiner Help on 'session variable' you will find more details about all of this. Hope this helps.
The 2 solutions work well for 1 user ID on a given access point.
However, the same user ID will return a different value if we access Dataminer through a different device.
The values stored in IE browser and Dataminer Cube Client seem to be different.
A workaround is to use a Generic Device as the destination for the variables.
The downside is it uses a DMA license.
Can we store the same value of a variable for all users, browsers and devices?
