destroy session for variable api

edwin — Thu, 22 Dec 2022 18:02:51 GMT

hi
i have a mashup that looks up the value of a variable using the variable.getcontent method. i noticed that the call back is running multiple times - pretty much like the hypercube callback. is there a way to kill a session created by this method? similar to the destroysession for a hypercube?

app.variable.getContent(<variablenamehere>).then( variableContent=>{ console.log('VARIABLE', variableContent.qContent.qString)

my current work around is to create a hypercube with the variable as a measure i am then able to destroy the session. however, i would prefer to keep it simple and get the variable instead.

has anyone found a way to get over this?

thanks,
edwin

Hi @edwin, this sounds strange for me. getContent callback should run once, as soon as the response is ready. I suggest to check your code in order to understand who is triggering getContent method.
I tested to apply multiple selections and variable callback didn't fire.

thanks Alex for the response. i will definitely revert and do more testing. for now it is working great as a hypercube though it is definitely cluncky.
