INIT Function

Populates the instance of a SessionsSettings with the current client user's personalization properties (such as Profile ID and Company) that are stored in the database.

Syntax

SessionSettings.INIT

Remarks

The function gets the data from the following fields in system table 2000000073 User Personalization: App ID, Company, Language ID, Locale ID, Profile ID, Scope, and Time Zone. In the SessionSettings object, the data is stored in properties that correspond to the fields of the system table.

After you call the INIT function, you can change the values in the object by calling the following methods:

The INIT function is useful before calling the REQUESTSESSIONUPDATE function to ensure that all properties are initialized before sending the request to the server instance to start a new client session.

Example

This example uses the INIT function to create a SessionSettings object that includes the current client user's personalization settings from the database, and uses the COMPANY function to set the company to 'MyCompany'. Then, the REQUESTSESSIONUPDATE function sends a request to the client to abandon the current client session and start a new session that uses the personalization settings in the SessionSettings object.

The code requires that you create the following C/AL variable.

Variable DataType
MySessionSettings SessionSettings
    MySessionSettings.INIT
    MySessionSettings.COMPANY('MyCompany');
    MySessionSettings.REQUESTSESSIONUPDATE(false);
