In our Mii enviroment, workbench Global variables are used for things like location, language, email addresses, ect. Some make sense, others better handled as Custom Attributes. I would like to access the Global variables from javascript, but only see examples of how to access Session variables. For example, we have a report server variable that I need to pass into a call for outputting an SSRS report. How best to do this?
I ended up creating an Mii transaction with an xac placed in my irpt. In javascript, I pass in a global variable as a parameter name and get out it's associated value from the Global variables. Works fine, but internal to the transaction, I have to hard-code each value of switch statement to a different global variable. I tried to do a repeater to loop through the Globals collection, but get an error "[ERROR] Uncaught exception from Repeater_0, Unable to find variable of keyword: Globals". I assumed I could traverse the global variable list with Globals{/Rowsets/Rowset/Row}, but obviously not. The intent was to make the transaction dynamic so that any new Mii globals variables that were created would automatically be picked up without hard-coding them in the transaction.
Anyone have other suggestions on how to easily access Mii workbench global variables in javascript? Maybe I am missing some basic concept. Perhaps best to migrate the variables to Session variables or tie to roles.
Thank you,
