System Variables

The chapter provides an overview of system variables and then discusses each variable in detail.

Click to jump to parent topicUnderstanding System Variables

PeopleTools provides a number of system variables that provide access to system information. System variables are prefixed with the ‘%’ character, rather than the ‘&’ character. You can use these system variables wherever you can use a constant, passing them as parameters to functions or assigning their values to fields or to temporary variables.

In this section, we discuss each system variable.

Constant Value

Description

1

%ApplicationLogFence_Error

Allow all levels of errors to be written to the log. This is the lowest setting.

2

%ApplicationLogFence_Warning

Allowing only warnings or higher to be written to the log.

3

%ApplicationLogFence_Level1

Allow only this level of errors or higher to be written to the log.

4

%ApplicationLogFence_Level2

Allow only this level of errors or higher to be written to the log.

5

%ApplicationLogFence_Level3

Allow only this level of errors to be written to the log.

Example

If %ApplicationLogFence > %ApplicationLogFence_Warning then
      /* do some logging */
End-if;

If multi-language entry is not enabled, %Language_Data returns the current session language.

Use %Language_Data if your application must know the language any entered application data is stored as in the component's related language records.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topic%Market

Description

The %Market system variable returns a three-character String value for the Market property of the current component. This is useful if you want to add market-specific PeopleCode functionality to a component. For example:

if %Component = COMPONENT.PERSONAL_DATA then
   /* do some stuff that applies to all localized version */
   :
   :
   /* do some stuff that differs by market */
   evaluate %Market
      when = "USA"
       /* do usa stuff */
         break;
      when = "GER"
         /* do german stuff */
   end-evaluate;
end-if;

The Market property of a component specifies a component’s target market. This property is set when a component is initially saved or cloned.

Components that are used on a global basis have a market setting of "GBL". Variations of components targeted at a specific market can have a local Market setting, for example "FRA". This enables developers to avoid cloning, renaming, and coding distinct PeopleCode in market-specific components. Instead, they can create a single component with market-specific PeopleCode, then clone the component, applying different Market property settings.

Because the %Market string is a three-character string like Country Code, Country Codes can be used as market settings where appropriate.

Considerations Using %Market in Application Engine Programs

Whenever %Market resolves to no value, it is processing in global ('GBL'). The absence of a value should be treated the same as if the value is 'GBL'.

To process a non-GBL market, a row must be created in PS_AEREQUESTTBL with the desired market value placed in the MARKET field of that row.

Note. You must make this change to the table for every application engine program PeopleCode that refers to %Market.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topic%PerfTime

Description

Use the %PerfTime system variable to return the application server's local system time.

This variable returns only the local system time. This is different from the %Time system variable, which returns the system time from the database server, which may or may not be the same physical system as the application server.

PeopleSoft recommends using %PerfTime when measuring performance time for a specific PeopleCode program. This can enable developers to evaluate which coding logic has better performance time.

Note. Do not assume that %PerfTime returns the same time as the database server. Use %Time if you need to use a time value for your application transaction.

Example

The following is an example of how to use %PerfTime to check performance of a PeopleCode program:

&startTime = ​%PerfTime;

Local number &nbr;
Local Rowset &Table1_rs, &Table2_rs, &Table1_cpy_rs, &Table2_cpy_rs;
Local Rowset &Table1_vw_rs;


&Table1_rs = CreateRowset(Record.PTP_TABLE1);
&Table1_cpy_rs = CreateRowset(Record.PTP_TABLE1);
&Table1_rs.Fill("WHERE PTP_SEQ_NBR <= 10001");

REM
REM  Copy using Rowset function from one RowSet to Another
REM;

&Table1_rs.CopyTo(&Table1_cpy_rs);

REM
REM USE ROWSET TO READ RESULTS FROM A JOIN WITH BIND VARIABLE
REM;

&nbr = 10001;
&Table1_vw_rs = CreateRowset(Record.PTP_TABLE1_VW);
&Table1_vw_rs.Fill("WHERE PTP_SEQ_NBR >= :1", &nbr);

REM
REM  END OF EXERCISE CODE FOR PERFORMANCE COLLECTOR
REM;


&Rs = GetRowset(Scroll.PTP_TABLE1);

&Rs.Flush();
&Rs.Select(Record.PTP_TABLE1, "WHERE PTP_SEQ_NBR <= 10005");


&timeTaken = ​%PerfTime - &startTime;

Application Engine PeopleCode run on the Application Engine server, and so on.

Click to jump to top of pageClick to jump to parent topic%Portal
