Session Variabes in V12

[Rogers]

I have some session variables on an a5w page that uploads files submitted by users after doing some checks. The code I am using is for the session lookup is

tbl=table.open("[PathAlias.ADB_Path]\registration.dbf",FILE_RW_SHARED)
tbl.change_begin()
vUserFolder_name=alltrim(lookupc("F",alltrim(session.__protected__Puser.Ulink),"Folder_name","registration","Employer_Id"))

. Howeve, I am getting an internal server error "vUserFolder_name=alltrim(lookupc("F",alltrim(session.__protected__Puser.Ulink),"
Property not found
session.__protected__Puser subelement not found". Is there a way to refence values from a table based on the session?

How and where is that session variable set? Are you sure that the session has not expired between that time and when your page with this code was executed?

Also there is no need to use the __protected__ syntax any more. All session variables are always protected "protected".

I have uploaded an attachment of the my settings for the session variable. I load the page then begin the operation immediately as the user is still logged in.
I am getting another error now, it seems like the session variable value is not being captured. The message being returned is
"500 Internal Server Error

Script Error
Error:Script:" /fileupload.a5w" line:115
file.from_blob("C:\Name of folder for uploads"+" "+session.__protected__vUserAddress+ "\"+vU
The system cannot find the path specified.
C:"Name of folder for uploads" \/123456.c3"


Based on the above message the session variable should return a country name So it should read
"500 Internal Server Error

Script Error
Error:Script:" /fileupload.a5w" line:115
file.from_blob("C:\Name of folder for uploads"+" "+session.__protected__vUserAddress+ "\"+vU
The system cannot find the path specified.
"C:\Name of folder for uploads \Brazil\filesuploaded/123456.c3"


I am using the following code where it throws the exception

file.from_blob("C:\Name of folder for uploads"+" "+session.__protected__vUserAddress+ "\\"+vUserFolder_name+ "/"+FileToUpload.filename, FileToUpload.data)

The session.__protected__vUserAddress ahould contain the Country name based on the logged in user. and the "vUserFolder_name" is also retrieved based on the logged in user.
The thing is, this was working perfectly fine under version 10 and stopped since I upgraded to v12.


What I need is a way to capture the session variable as I am using it to write to the folder and and I am also doing some file validations.

Your application is very old and much has changed in the Application Server in the intervening years. You may need to update portions of your application. I cannot duplicate this in a test application built from scratch in Alpha Anywhere. If you have a reproducible test case, please submit a bug report with the files needed to create the error.

Figured I had to make some adjustments. I tried the code below. It shows the logged in user but not the session.address. What am I missing?

dim session.address as c
dim Puser as p

a5ws_logged_in_user_values(pUser) 'gets logged in user data to pointer 'pUser'.
if variable_exists("pUser.userid")
session.address= lookupc("F",alltrim(Puser.userid),"country","[pathalias.adb_path]/registration","Employer_Id")

? pUser.userid
? session.address

end if

You don't need to dim session variables. If you want to create one write: context.session.YOUR_VAR_NAME_HERE

In your case context.session.address. That may not even be your issue. It could be your lookup isn't returning what you expect. Place a debug(1) at the top of your code and run it again.

[Rogers]

received the attached messages after running debug. the session doesn't seem to be returning anything. How can I be certain that the lookup is finding my table?

[mikeallenbrown]

Going from v10 to v12 is going to be a chore. This is a task where a developer needs to be hired or start over from scratch and rebuild your app in v12.

That said the first error means that variable doesn't exist. There is no way for me to debug your code so what might be going on is a mystery.

I created a new workspace and republished security. For some reason it appears as though the security users table was not being updated. The fileupload works fine now.

Thanks for all the help.
