Parameter not refreshing based on dataset filter

I have a requirement for a cascading parameter in my SSRS RDL, where the selection of the parameter A refreshes the available values in parameter B.
I've implemented this as such
DataSet A populates the values and default values of Parameter A
DataSet B populates the values and default values for Parameter B
DataSet B is also filtered by matching the common field in the selected values of Parameter A
This solution works fine in both Visual Studio Preview of the RDL and when I push the RDL out to my local sandbox SSRS, which is 2008 R2.
However, our Dev, UAT and Production environments are SSRS 2008 SP3 and the cascading parameter functionality does not seem to be working there. I.e. When I select Parameter A, Parameter B is not refreshed.
I have read up on cascading parameters (can't link article since my account isn't verified) to see the recommended way to setup these up, but my data sources are XML (calling a WCF service) not SQL so I'm unclear of how to pass the Paramater A value
to the DataSet B XML query.
Is this issue simply a limitation of SQL 2008 SSRS vs 2008 R2? Is there any other workaround, etc I can leverage?

Hi Keenan,
Sorry for my delay.
Based on my test, I can reproduce the same issue in SSRS 2008. It is work well in SSRS 2008R2. If possible, I recommend you update your SSRS 2008 to SSRS 2008R2.

Set Web Item parameter HIDDEN = 'X' based on Filter Value(s)

In a BW3.5 Web Template I want to set a Web Item parameter HIDDEN = 'X' based on a filter value for another Data Provider in the Template.
In other words I want a Web Item to be hidden if certain Co Codes are used in the Filter for another Data Provider in the template.

The output of this statement gives the variable value. If using a filter use a Filter Web Item.

Form values in subsequent layers of VC based UI wizard are not refreshed

Hello experts,
i am just about to develop a wizard based UI for an custom ess application with the VC and now i face a strange phenomenon.
I got two layers each containing a form. Both forms have a dropdown list with the same contents. The logic is, that in the first step, users can select a value from the dropdown list which is then supposed in the second step to be displayed in the second DD box.
This works fine when users run through the form for the first time. But when a user switches from the second step back to the first (by a "back" button) and changes the value in the first dropdown box and goes then back to the second step, the value in the second dd box is not refreshed and remains on the previous selection.
In the form designer, i set the second dropdown to take over the value from the first form, but it did not work. I also tried to store the selected value from the first form in the data store and load the value for the second DD from the data store, also without a result.
I guess this is a bug in VC implementaion, is this possible? We are using EP 7.0, SP12 on a RedHat OS.
Is there a workaround for this? Any help will be rewarded!
Thanks in advance & cheers,
Thilo

Hi Thilo
I have encountered the same problem and the turn around solution which could help you is using layers of tabstrips which will have a "Next/Submit" button which will update the the 2nd tab. The moment you change the values in drop down in the 1st tab and say submit it will be reflected in the 2nd tab.
Have look at the following link:-

Workbook is not filtering based on Exit Variable during refresh

Hi,
I have a workbook with a query embedded in it. While opening the workbook it is not refreshing the variable using the value from the user exit. While I am executing the query it is working properly.
In workbook "Refresh Workbook on Open" is selected.
Query is working with following exit code (both step 1 & 2)
WHEN 'ZEXTICK_DT_YD'.                    "Yesterday based on system date
    IF i_step = 1.
      l_date = sy-datum - 1.
      l_s_range-low       = l_date.
      l_s_range-sign      = 'I'.
      l_s_range-opt       = 'EQ'.
      APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
    ENDIF.
We are in BI 7 and Support pack 15.
Thanks in advance

Hello,
I having a similar kind of issue with the exit, that doesnt work with a refresh but works perfectly as such. Did you figure out a way to make it work with refresh? If so, would appreciate if you share with us the solution.

Spry Data Set will not Refresh with New Data?

I'm using the Dreamweaver CS4 "Spry Data Set" Wizard and created the following layout on one of my pages:
In the wizard, under "Specify a Data Source", I chose "HTML", and selected my cfm page that has a simple Table with the datasource below:
<cfparam name="URL.id_com" default="1">
<cfquery name="rsTickets" datasource="Ctickets">
SELECT ticketNum, ticketType, ticketDate, acctNum, firstName, lastName, businessName, city, status, owner, ticketDetails
FROM tickets
WHERE acctNum = <cfqueryparam value="#URL.id_com#" cfsqltype="cf_sql_numeric">
</cfquery>
When I display the page in IE8, The Spry Master/Detail page will not filter my records based on the URL parameter?
(Note: All my other "Non-Spry" datasets filter fine by the URL)
Question: How do I make the Spry data "Refresh" or "Re-run the query" so the data filters properly?
Thanks,
jlig

Ben, Thanks for the reply..
Here is my Source Data page which I created & selected in the Spry Data Wizard: http://cerberus.clearwave.com/jerry/Spry2.jpg
(this page takes my query, filtered by the URL Acct field and makes a simple table to feed the Spry Wizard)
- In the Spry Data Wizard, I selected the file and it properly found the table data: http://cerberus.clearwave.com/jerry/Spry3.jpg
- Then I clicked Next and changed a few of the field types: http://cerberus.clearwave.com/jerry/Spry4.jpg
- Next I chose Master-Detail and used the Acct field to be the Master : http://cerberus.clearwave.com/jerry/Spry5.jpg
- Lastly, I open up the webpage, click on the Tickets Spry Tab: http://cerberus.clearwave.com/jerry/Spry6.jpg
As you can see in the picture on this page: http://cerberus.clearwave.com/jerry/Spry6.jpg, the URL parameter is = 3902 which is the Acct number
being passed from the previous page in my application. (Ex..http://192.168.1.77/COE/salespipeline_mi.cfm?id_com=3902)
The first one is correct, but once I move to a different Acct number the Spry data will not update to reflect the correct Tickets?
Once I move to say, Acct 4413, the Spry Tickets Tab does not change or update to reflect this Acct's tickets?
(see link--> http://cerberus.clearwave.com/jerry/Spry7.jpg)
Here is my code listing for the Tabbed Webpage: http://cerberus.clearwave.com/jerry/Spry8.txt (see images 6 & 7)
It seems like I'm missing some kind of "Trigger" or "Requery" or "Refresh" that "Re-runs" the Source Data page (http://cerberus.clearwave.com/jerry/Spry2.jpg)..?
Thanks again,
jlig

SSRS Dataset Filter expression query

I have an SSRS report which has a simple dataset and accepts two date parameters, and filters the results based on a Position parameter. The Position parameter filter is:
Expression: Position
Operator: In
Value: [@Position]
I have now been told that each position has a few other aliases in the database against the Position column. i.e. For a Position of "Contractor" I now also need to return "Consultant" records, based on the same field. Note, only one Position
can be selected at a time.
I imagine I have to update the Value expression above to do something like:
- When @Position in "Contractor" also return rows where Position is x, y, z (I am happy to hard code these)
I have about 10 Positions each with one or more aliases - can someone help guide me on how to set up the expression?
Thanks!

Thanks Ione.
Ok - I have set my parameter values in the value box, comma separated
My dataset filter for the param Operator is set to IN and the value [@Position]
However where I have multiple values set against a position I do not get any results (there is data in the DB)
Do I need to do something different when setting the paramter values? i.e. use the expression and then a function to parse the comman separted values
Or - something in the Filter to make the expression parse the incoming paramter?
Thanks again

Default Parameter Not Working

Hello,
I have an SSRS report with a multi value parameter assigned to it. I have also assigned a default value so that when the report is run, the report will initially open based on the default values. However, the report still prompts the user to chose a value
from the picklist first upon running the report without firing the report based on the default parameter. To add more context, my multi value parameter and default parameter come from two different datasets. I have also based my query to check if values are
not null as a condition. Any help regarding this would be greatly appreciated!

I think the issue is your default parameter value is not included among the values returned by your dataset which is used for filling the parameter combo. Thats when it selects nothing and waits for the user selection.
What you need to do is to tweak the dataset for parameter values population and also include logic to return default value also within it. Then once report runs it will show default value as selected and render the report with it.

Can not refresh the metrics in schedular

Hi,
When I refresh the metric using schedular, the metric is not refreshed , nor schedular return any error. But when checked in metrics proparties, the last refresh date is not changed, niether the values are updated.
Whe I try to refresh the metric manual, the values are refresh.
Please help me to troubleshoot the problem of refreshing metric through schedular.
Thanks,

Post Author: jezbraker

Scheduler is pretty horrid for refreshing metrics.Better of to use the Rules engine and create a rule thats based on a schedule that based on condition (1=1 works well ) then refreshes metircs.troubleshooting is best done with the trace options in setup/parameters.there are a few other ways or seeing what the schedulers up to - but id stick to rules if i were you.

Report Portlets do not refresh data.

How can I refresh a report portlet?
I have created a report and a forms provider based on the same table. I put the portlets on separate TABS on the same PAGE. The report works fine, but when I update the information on the form and return to the report it does not reflect the changes. I have pressed 'refresh', I have gone to another page and come back, no luck. The only way to see the changes is to log out and back in again. Any ideas?
Thanks, Deb

I had caching turned off. When I turned on both content and page definition, I was unable to query my forms. The forms and reports are on the same page, different tabs. When I select cache page definition only, I get the same results as no caching. The forms will query my data, I can update, but when I return to the reports TAB, the data has not changed. (Yes, I did click refresh.) I have found that if I click the 'Customize' link on the portlet containing the report and then click 'OK' the data will update. This, however gives me a new error that I will worry about later. For now, the users have 'Minimize' but do not have the 'Customize' Link and the 'minimize' link does not refresh the data, nor give me the new error.

Matrialized view not refreshing all records from source.

My materialized view is not refreshing a fixed number of rows i.e 198 every time from source to target.What are the reasons for such behavior. Also what should i do to resolve this discrepancy.

Hello Raman & KV,
Thanks for your Suggestions.
Unfortunately, I would not be able to implement any of your suggestions because, I m not allowed to change the DTP Settings.
So, I m working on finding the root cause of this issue and came across a SAP Note - 1506944 - Only one package is always extracted during direct access , which says this is a Program Error.
Hence, i m checking more with SAP on this and will share their insights once i hear back from them.

Multiple Select List does not Refresh with Dynamic Action

All,
Scenario:
Using APEX 4.2.2, I have a Select List page item (P4_SPONSOR) set to allow multiple values which has a dynamic LOV to populate the list. What I would like to do is highlight the display values based on another page item's value (P4_DRIVER_ID). When I set the source of P4_SPONSOR to static text, such as a delimited string of 1:2:3:4, any display values where the return values are equal to the static text are highlighted when the page loads.
Problem:
The problem lies in trying to use a query as a source for P4_SPONSOR which is filtered based on the other page item, P4_DRIVER_ID. For instance, my SQL Query (returning colon separated values) returns the same as the static text noted above. In the query's WHERE clause, I specify that the driver's ID is equal to P4_DRIVER_ID:
SELECT sponsor_id
FROM sponsors_drivers_xref
WHERE driver_id = :P4_DRIVER_ID;
This, as I understand it, would necessitate a refresh of P4_SPONSOR whenever the value of P4_DRIVER_ID changes. So, I have a Dynamic Action that does just that. When executed on the page, I can see the P4_SPONSOR multiple select list actually refresh, but none of the display values become highlighted.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
-Seth.

Seth,
A dynamic action refresh of your select list will refresh the list of values (this is what you are seeing), it will not refresh the value of the item itself. In fact, it will remove any values that you had already selected. To refresh the value you will need to add additional dynamic actions.
Create another dynamic action with:
Event: After Refresh
Selection Type: Item(s)
Item(s): P4_SPONSOR
If this was a normal select list you could just create a Set Value action and use your query to set the value of the select list. Since this is a multiple select list your will need to get your colon delimited value first and then use some javascript to set the values of your select list.
Create an hidden page item name P4_SPONSOR_TEMP.
Add a true action to your new dynamic action:
Action: Set Value
Set Type: SQL Statement
SQL Statement:
SELECT sponsor_id
FROM sponsors_drivers_xref
WHERE driver_id = :P4_DRIVER_ID;
Page Items to Submit: P4_DRIVER_ID
Selection Type: Item(s)
Item(s): P4_SPONSOR_TEMP
Add another true action to your new dynamic action:
Action: Set Value
Set Type: JavaScript Expression
JavaScript Expression:
$("#P4_SPONSOR_TEMP").val().split(":")
Selection Type: Item(s)
Item(s): P4_SPONSOR

SSRS dataset filter expression using OR

I have a dataset that I need to set a filter for. What I need the filter to do is check 3 different fields to see if either one of them are in a parameter. The parameter is multi-value. So, I have a parameter set to 1, 2, 3. I need the dataset to return
records where either Field A, B, or C are IN 1, 2, 3.
Anyone know how to do this? I tried to have the filter expression = Fields!A.Value or Fields!B.Value or Fields!C.Value then the dataset filter operator "IN" and the dataset filter value = Parameter, but I just get an error on the dataset filter
(cannot evaluate filter expression error)

Hello,
Mulitple expressions added to SSRS dataset filter are evaluated as AND (Expr1 AND Expr1 AND Expr3). If you are looking for a OR like Expr1 Or Expr2 Or Expr3 then you can use this solution explained below.
Dataset Query used for this test:
select *
from (values ('Row1',1,1,4),('Row2',2,1,3),('Row3',3,1,2),('Row4',3,2,2),('Row5',5,3,2),('Row6',5,6,7),('Row7',2,6,7)) x(DataRow,A,B,C)
Report Parameter :
Defined a multi select report parameter named "Parameter1" with string datatype and added values 1, 2, 3.
Dataset Filter Expression:
=Filter(Parameters!Parameter1.Value,CStr(Fields!A.Value)).Length + Filter(Parameters!Parameter1.Value,CStr(Fields!B.Value)).Length + Filter(Parameters!Parameter1.Value,CStr(Fields!C.Value)).Length
The expression above uses the Filter function in SSRS to check if the field A\B\C has any match in the parameter1 mutli select parameter. If yes the length property will return a value > 0. Repeat the expression for all the other fields and add the Values
for length property.
Use > operator in the filter dialogue box
and value as 0 as shown in the snapshot below.
The output is shown below. Row 6 is missing as Field A, B or C doesnt have 1, 2,3 as values. If this is the output you are looking for this solution should work for you.

Deleting the Row from the table is not refreshing the contents in the form

Hi,
We developed a table and form in the same UI based on the following suggestion.
Display and edit currently selected row of ADF Table in ADF Form
1. Created one view object based on the employees table.
2. dragged the view object to the UI as table.
3. dragged the view object as form.
4. set partial triggers on the form's container (panelformlayout) as tableId.
Tested the application with the edit options and everything is working fine. But the problem comes when we delete the record from table. it is not refreshing the form based on the newly selected row after deleting the record. If we commit the data the form contents are updated to the selected row (which is not desired).
Can you please suggest how to fix the issue, refreshing the form with the selected row after deleting the records.
Thanks and Regards,
S R Prasad

The Code snippet looks fine. I think, the issue is in the partial trigger setting
4. set partial triggers on the form's container (panelformlayout) as tableId.In order to the table to get refreshed, the table's partialTriggers property should be set to id of the delete Button.
Go to table, select partialTriggers in the Property Inspector, Click on Expression Builder at the right and select the delete Button.
Can you set this and check?
Sample Code:
<af:panelHeader text="panelHeader 1" id="ph1">
<f:facet name="context"/>
<f:facet name="menuBar"/>
<f:facet name="toolbar">
<af:commandButton text="Delete" id="cb1"/>
</f:facet>
<f:facet name="legend"/>
<f:facet name="info">
<af:table var="row" rowBandingInterval="0" id="t1"
partialTriggers="::cb1">
<af:column sortable="false" headerText="col1" id="c1">
<af:outputText value="#{row.col1}" id="ot1"/>
</af:column>
<af:column sortable="false" headerText="col2" id="c4">
<af:outputText value="#{row.col2}" id="ot3"/>
</af:column>
<af:column sortable="false" headerText="col3" id="c3">
<af:outputText value="#{row.col3}" id="ot4"/>
</af:column>
<af:column sortable="false" headerText="col4" id="c5">
<af:outputText value="#{row.col4}" id="ot2"/>
</af:column>
<af:column sortable="false" headerText="col5" id="c2">
<af:outputText value="#{row.col5}" id="ot5"/>
</af:column>
</af:table>
</f:facet>
</af:panelHeader>
