Hi Lin,

This is a very good question. However, in VC we can use function modules or any query to connect to various back-ends. There is no funda of using global variables in VC, by which you can store the data of logged in users. If you have any function module or query to fetch the data of logged in user, you can use that in VC, but i doubt, it is not feasible.

Hi,

The user data functionality that is mentioned above is only available with the new version of VC which is currently in Pilot phase. this version is going on ramp up with SP7 of NW04s.

Hi,

Actually, you have a "User Data" element (look at the "Compose" task pane).

This element can be used to retrieve all sorts of user specific data - anything provided by the portal runtime.

This data can then be used in dynamic expressions.

Hope this helps,

Hi!

I don't understand where is the "User Data" element or "Compose" task pane?

Do you speak about VC or in the Portal (after Deploy) ?

Have you got also a dynamic expressions example?

Thanks
