Session Variables Substitution Variables

Session variables allow users to enter data, such as their WebLogic credentials, once during a login session. Also, users can securely save the contents of these variables so that they don't need to re-enter them each time they log in. Session variables are integrated at the modeling level using substitution variables. Session variables have the following syntax:

session:varname

Above, varname is the name of a session variable.

Session variable references of the form session:varname will resolve to the value of the session variable in the current user's session. An attempt to resolve a session variable that is not defined in the current user's session results in an error that states that the session variable was not defined. When a failure to generate a session variable is encountered, an attempt will be made to add the session variable with an empty value to the user's current session variable set.

A session variable may be used anywhere a simple substitution variable reference may be used. However, a session variable cannot be used within the value of another session variable.
