Get Current User ID in Javascript

Hi,

I'm developing a report where we have to track the report's usage. Is it possible in javascript to pull back the current user id? I would then put that ID into a variable and pass it as a parameter into the database.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Try this

--reportContext.getAppContext().get('ServerUserName')

If you are using Actuate iServer, you can set up usage logs to pick that up, then I use BIRT to report those csv files.

REPORT PATH and Name**
reportContext.getAppContext().get('VolumeName')+reportContext.getReportRunnable().getReportName()

Server User and Time**
today = new Date();
df = new Packages.java.text.SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm a");
today = df.format(today);

"Run by: " + reportContext.getAppContext().get('ServerUserName') + " @ " + today;

for some reason It's displaying 'Anonymous'. Is there a reason for that?

That will be the user displayed in the IDE unless you choose a "run as" option
