Dynamic parameter in email title

Some of my reports are delivered by email. Is it possible in BI Publisher to configure dynamic parameter in email's title, for example sysdate.

Hi,
Yes, it looks like it's possible.
Please review this older post: Bursting e-mail delivery with subject and body parameterized

GP - Email templates-is it possible to change Email title at runtime

Hello Gurus,
We have a requirement in GP , we need to show value of one of the context parameter in Email Title, is it possible? if yes,please post snap shot of the Code here......
Thanks & Regards,

Reply from SAP..
Hi Veera, Using the standard mail templates in GP, it is not possible to add context variables for the mail subject. These can be only added to the mail content.
You can submit a development request at; www.service.sap.com/drq Here they will;
1) Provide a fix specifically for your system.
OR 2) Provide you with the most up-to -date information on whether this is something that is being developed or will be in the future.
OR 3) Put this down on a 'wishlist' for you.

Parameter Display in the Email Title

Hello All,
I have GP Application in which an email is sent to the initator once his request is approved....now i want to display the context parameter of the Action in the Email Title(Subject) just as we display the parameter in the body of the email like :

I tried to put the same text as above in the Title but it didn't work....
Please let me know how can I achieve this.
Any help would be highly appreciated.

Hi all
Why Dynamic Parameter is not working, when i create report XI using stored procedure ?
Only i shaw those parameters which i used in my stored procedure, the parameter which i create dynamic using stored procedure
is not shown to me when i referesh the report for viewing the results.
I have used the same procedure which i mention below but can not seen the last screen which is shown in this .
============================================================================================
1. Select View > Field Explorer2. Right-click on Parameter Fields and select New from the right-click menu.3. Enter u201CCustomer Nameu201D as the name for your parameter4. Under u201CList of Valuesu201D select u201CDynamicu201D5. Under the Value column, click where is says u201Cclick here to add itemu201D and select Customer Name from the drop-down list. The dialog shown now look like the one shown below in Figure 1. Click OK to return to your report design.
Dynamic Parameter Setup6. Next, select Report > Select Expert, select the Customer Name field and click OK.7. Using the drop-down list beside select u201CIs Equal Tou201D and using the drop-down list, select your parameter field (it should be the first field). 8. Click OK to return to your report design and see the parameter dialog.The parameter dialog will appear and show you a dynamic list of values that is updated each time your run your report. It couldnu2019t be easier! In our next tutorial, we will be looking at how to use this feature to create cascading parameter fields, where the values are filtered by the preceding selection.
Dynamic Parameters in Action
My question is that whether dynamic parameter is working with storedprocedure or not.
When i added one table and try to fetch records using dyanmic prameters. after that i am not be able to find the dynamic parameter option when i referesh my report.
One more thing when i try the static parameter for my report, the option i see when i referesh the screen.
Please reply soon , it's urgent

Hi Kishore,
I have tested the issue step by step by following you description, while the first issue works well in my local environment. Based on my research, this can be caused by the lookup expression or it indeed return Male value based on the logic. If you use the
expression below, it will indeed only return the Male record. So please try to double-check the record in the two datasets and the expression in your environment:
=lookup(first(Fields!ProgramID.Value,"DataSet1"),Fields!ProgramID.Value,Fields!Gender.Value,"DataSet2")
As to the second issue, please try to use the following expression:
=Count(Lookup(fields!ProgramID.value,fields!ProgramID.value,fields!Gender.value,"DataSet2"))
Besides, if this issue still exist, in order to trouble shoot this issue more efficiently, could you please post both the .rdl file with all the size properties to us by the following E-mail address? It is benefit for us to do further analysis.

Dear ronando
why you don't use IAC iViews?
it's for that kind of thinks that you can use that xD
In the System you can setup the SSO config's and you can add the parameter by URL
http://.org:50000/irj/portal?NavigationTarget=ROLES://portal_content/iter_fd/test&DynamicParameter%3DP%5FWI%5FID%3D000000018277
You have to read this two pages:

Is there a way to disable levels of a cascading dynamic parameter?

Hello,
As the title describes, I'd like to see if there's a way of programmatically disabling levels of a cascading dynamic parameter.
For example, I have a dynamic cascading parameter that has two levels, levelA -> levelB, where based on the value of levelA, levelB choices get filtered. I'd like to programmatically populate a value for levelA and disable it so that the user can't change it.
Miscellaneous info:
Language: C#,
IDE: Visual Studio 2010
CR for Visual Studio ver: 3.0.2.x
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Andrew,
First, the version of CR for VS does not make sense, did you mean 13.0.2000.0? If so that is the Assembly version which never changes. The real version s the version of the dll's. Or you can query the GAC for the version this way:
foreach (Assembly MyVerison in AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies())
    if (MyVerison.FullName.Substring(0, 38) == "CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine")
        //File:             C:\Windows\assembly\GAC_MSIL\CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine\13.0.2000.0__692fbea5521e1304\CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll
        //InternalName:     Crystal Reports
        //OriginalFilename:
        //FileVersion:      13.0.9.1312
        //FileDescription: Crystal Reports
        //Product:          SBOP Crystal Reports
        //ProductVersion:   13.0.9.1312
        //Debug:            False
        //Patched:          False
        //PreRelease:       False
        //PrivateBuild:     False
        //SpecialBuild:     False
        //Language:         English (United States)
        System.Diagnostics.FileVersionInfo fileVersionInfo = System.Diagnostics.FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(MyVerison.Location);
        txtRuntimeVersion.Text += fileVersionInfo.FileVersion.ToString();
        // check if CrsytalDecisions.Enterprise dll's can be loaded ( Anything but Cortez - managed reporting )
        if (fileVersionInfo.FileVersion.Substring(0, 2) == "13")
            btnRasOpen.Enabled = false;
        CRVer = fileVersionInfo.FileVersion.Substring(0, 2);
        return;
As for the dynamic parameter you cannot get the top levels of the prompt, only the last field info but there are limitations right now.
If you look at the Query all you will see is the last prompt field in the SQL.
Currently we have an Enhancement request to be able to get the field name from the the report to get that last field name. There is no plans to get the field names above though so no option to disable in code.
What you can do though is change the Dynamic parameter to Static and/or List of Values and then you can change the behaviour in your app by creating your own Parameter Prompt UI and the result should be noted in the WHERE portion of the SQL Statement. And no you cannot modify the SQL statement.

Is there any way to add dynamic parameter in sql without breaking Server Behavior

Hello, i'm building multiple language site.. i would like to know if there is possible way to add dynamic parameter in my query, without break the server behavior.
For example:
mysql_select_db($database_dxc_conn, $dxc_conn);
$query_Recordset1 = "SELECT article.articleName, article.articleDesc FROM article";
$Recordset1 = mysql_query($query_Recordset1, $dxc_conn) or die(mysql_error());
$row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1);
$totalRows_Recordset1 = mysql_num_rows($Recordset1);
will become something like this:
$additionalSQL=", article.articleName_en";
mysql_select_db($database_dxc_conn, $dxc_conn);
$query_Recordset1 = "SELECT article.articleName, article.articleDesc $additionalSQL FROM article";
$Recordset1 = mysql_query($query_Recordset1, $dxc_conn) or die(mysql_error());
$row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1);
$totalRows_Recordset1 = mysql_num_rows($Recordset1);
this is just an example, my real scenarion is far more complicated than this... however this kind of approach break the server behavior and force to do hand-coding...
i would like to know if there's better way to do such thing like this...

Server behaviors are simply bits of boilerplate code automatically generated by Dreamweaver. Editing the code doesn't "break" it (unless your edits are badly written). However, once you edit the code, Dreamweaver no longer recognizes it, so you lose the ability to drag recordset results from the Bindings panel.
If you want to edit server behavior code, the best way to handle it is to lay out your page as you want, using the Bindings panel. Once everything has been done, only then edit the server behavior code.

How to get the list of values for a dynamic parameter using Web Services SDK?

I am struggling to get the list of values for a dynamic parameter of a report.I am using Java Web Services SDK ... I tried to use PromptInfo.getLOV().getValues() method but it does not work.First of all ... is this possible (to get the list of values for a dynamic param) using Web Services?Second of all, if this is possible, how should I do it ... it seems it works fine when running the report from CMC. It asks for DB logon info and after that it provides a list of values.Thx 

Your assumption is correct. We are trying to get the LOVs from the Crystal Report. I was not aware that this is not supported by Web Services SDK.We used Web Services SDK to integrated the Crystal Reports in our web application. We implemented some basic actions for reports: schedule, view instances, run ad-hoc reports.We encountered this problem when trying to run/schedule reports with dynamic parameters (a list of values from DB). We were unable to get the LOVs.Please let me know if you can think of an alternative to look at.Thanks a lot,Catalin

CR2011 Dynamic Parameter does not show list at all

I am upgrading some Crystal Reports from CR 8.5 to 2011. Some would be better served by using a dynamic parameter to allow the user to select the data for the parameter from the database information. I have created a dynamic parameter on the Customer ID and set the description to be the customer name. I have set it to handle multiple values.
When I preview the report in the Crystal designer, I get a text box to type in but not a drop down. To be clear, I am not talking about the LOV 1000 limit here. There are only 50 customers in the sample file I am working with. I tried turning the static parameter into a dynamic one, I deleted the original parameter and created a new one.
In case it matters, the parameter is only used as part of the selection formula and if I enter a proper customer id, it will retrieve the data. This report has about 7 tables (no stored procedures or views) and a subreport of two tables that is linked to the main report on the customer id. The parameter is only used on the main report for record selection. The SQL statement in the main report and subreport did need to be reset when I first opened the report in CR2011 but I did that on both. I have verified the database and the option to verify on first refresh is checked. The original parameter did have an imported list of about 3000 customer names. I tried exporting the CR template to a new file and while the file size changed, the behaviour did not.
When I create a brand new report on two of the tables, including the same customer table, and create the parameter the same way, it shows me the list properly in a dropdown at the prompt stage.
I am not sure where to go here or what else to try. If anyone has any suggestions, I appreciate the help. TIA, rasinc

Thank for the reply Dell,
I see the logic in adding the extra table and keeping it unlinked and I do know the crazy data that can come up if I use it linked to other tables or use the fields in other parts of the programming.
However, I've now tried it several times, creating the parameter on just the name alone, with the ID alone, etc. and I still only get a text box to type into.
I have made sure the original selection criteria
{customer.Id} = {?Customer}
if from the original table, not the new one, which I assume you expected me to do.
So I decided to run the same report through CR XIR2. When I update the Set Datasource Location, I am now getting the message
"Invalid Argument provided.
Details: The alias requested 'company', contains a combination of characters which is not considered to be valid"
Company is a table containing information about the main company, not the customers. The same message pops up for another table as well.
Then I get a message that says:
"Prompting failed with the following error message: 'List of Values failure: fail to get values. [Cause of error: The table company does not exist in the document.]'
Error source: prompt.dll Error code: 0x8004380D"
This appears to be a database access issue but I know the firewalls are not a problem because I can create a new report and get the LOV properly with the same database and same desktop computer. I can take that report created in CR2011 and use it in CRXI also and get the proper LOV. Is it possible I am dealing with template corruption because there were so many items imported into the static list before?

How can we use C# to read dynamic parameter's value list from .rpt?

I'm using Cystal Report 2008. We know starting from CR XI we can create dynamic parameters, the list of items of this kind of parameter are fetching from database. So in general the SQLs to get the list of values for dynamic parameters are stored in the .rpt.
In Crystal Report Designer, if I preview a report with dynamic parameters, it will first query the database and then show the input dialog with list of values from database for user to choose. My question is can we implement the same thing by our C# code? I'm planning to use C# code to read this dynamic parameter's value list from .rpt and render them on the web page. Then pass back the user selected values to the .rpt to run the report after user make the choice. I didn't find any APIs can do this. Is it possible?
Thanks in advance!!

Hi,
Can you explain a bit in detail, I have similar scenario. I am using the following code but not getting the Column name for dynamic parameter list.
foreach (ParameterFieldDefinition prm
                          in reportDocument.DataDefinition.ParameterFields)
                try
                    string vParameterFieldName;
                    *vParameterFieldName = prm.ParameterFieldName.ToString();*

Can I modify the data type of a dynamic parameter?

I am using CR2008 against an Oracle 11 db and have a report with dynamic parameters.
One of the report sources is a custom view that selects all of the possible 'pay ending dates' where one of the fields from this view is used as the source for the dynamic parameter.
The view performs a TRUNC on the date field in an effort to eliminate the TIME component.
The problem is that the parameter definintion defaults to DATE/TIME (vs. just DATE). I'm wondering if there is any way to modify the data type of the parameter to be DATE only.
I've searched several forumns but have not found anything.
One solution I can think of is to have the custom view format the date field as a VARCHAR (sans the time component) which I assume would force the dynamic parameter data type to string, and then have the report perform a todate function on the value when applying the criteria.
Anyone else have an idea? Just seems like CR should allow the developer to specify the data type- especially b/w Date and Date/Time, rather than make an assumption.
Thank you in advance-
emaher

emaher,
Here's what you can do:
Leave the existing date column as it is in the view...
Just add another column to the view that casts the the date as a VarChar data type and formats the date as you would like it to be.
So now you'll have 2 date columns in the view... 1 that's still a date and another that a character string.
Now for your parameter, use the date version as the parameter value and the text version as the parameter description.
Be sure to set the "Prompt with description only" is set to true.
This way the user sees the LoV in the desired format but there's not need to wrangle it back into a date for data selection.
HTH,
Jason

What is the maximum number of records in a dynamic parameter list of values?

In Crystal Reports Developer, I am attempting to add a dynamic parameter from a view. The view has 6773 total records. The field used for the parameter has 1819 distinct values, none of which are null.
I have the parameter set to allow multiple values, and I have added
field is equal to parameter
in the select expert.
However, when I refresh the report and tell it to prompt for new parameters, the list of values does not contain all the values, so about half of the records are dropped.
Is there a way I can guarantee that all 1819 (or an unlimited number) records show up in the List of Values?

This has been answered. Search forums for the results
