Passing and Parsing Multiple values for 1 Parameter using ASP and reportInterface.ReportParameters

Post Author: ckwizard77
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
HELP!!
I have been knocking my head against a wall trying to figure out how to pass multiple values to 1 parameter and how to add it to the parameter collection. I have code so if I pass single values for each parameter it works fine. I am passing the parmeters and values in a pipe delimited string through a url where it gets parsed and pass in here.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here is the single param code:
Public Sub SetParamValues(ReportName, strParamName, ParamValue) Dim i,reportInterface, ParamName,strSubReprotName,CurrentValues Set reportInterface = reportObject.PluginInterface("") Set reportParameters = result.Item(1).PluginInterface("Report").ReportParameters For i=1 to reportParameters.Count if ReportName <>"" then strSubReprotName=reportInterface.ReportParameters.Item(i).ReportName if strSubReprotName=ReportName then ParamName = reportInterface.ReportParameters.Item(i).ParameterName if ucase(ParamName)=Ucase(strParamName) then Set CurrentValues = reportInterface.ReportParameters.Item(i).CurrentValues CurrentValues.Clear() Dim newSingleParameter Set newSingleParameter = ReportInterface.ReportParameters.Item(i).CreateSingleValue newSingleParameter.Value = ParamValue reportInterface.ReportParameters.Item(i).CurrentValues.Add newSingleParameter reportInterface.ReportParameters.Item(i).PromptOnDemandViewing=false iStore.Commit result End if End if Else ParamName = reportInterface.ReportParameters.Item(i).ParameterName Set param1 = reportInterface.ReportParameters.Item(i) if Ucase(ParamName)=UCase(strParamName) then Set CurrentValues = reportInterface.ReportParameters.Item(i).CurrentValues CurrentValues.Clear() Set newSingleParameter = ReportInterface.ReportParameters.Item(i).CreateSingleValue newSingleParameter.Value = ParamValue reportInterface.ReportParameters.Item(i).CurrentValues.Add newSingleParameter reportInterface.ReportParameters.Item(i).PromptOnDemandViewing=false iStore.Commit result End if End if NextEnd Sub

That Makes sense.
thanks a lot !
Well now are at it, mind if I ask you another quick question:
If I make an option in the multiselect list called ALL which should return all the results:
as should act like this
select * from dept;
you solution was:
select * from dept
where INSTR(':'||:P1_EMPNO||':', ':'||empno ||':') > 0
Can I modify this to return all the rows ?

How to passing multiple values for a parameter of discoverer(url parameters

Hi All,
I am trying to pass multiple values for a parameter of disco report. I am trying to include my url for discoverer viewer report. the values has the following
'jeff,mark'
'sfophiee,angela'
Thanks and Regards
Venkat

Hello Venkat,
I know there are some problems with 10.1.2.0.2, maybe if you haven't done yet you can try with 10.1.2.2, assuming this version should be working for multiple parameter values :
OracleAS Discoverer 10.1.2.2 is installed with the following patch :
Patch 4960210 PLACEHOLDER BUG FOR AS/DS 10G R2 PATCH SET 2 10.1.2.2
So, once installed you can try adding your parameter as param_<parameter_name>='sfophiee,angela'
Hope this helps, otherwise feel free to log a Service Request to Support.

Create URL with multiple values for one parameter

Post Author: cbamberg
CA Forum: General
While I have no problems to create the URL to open a report with a single value for a parameter from my Java application, I don't know how to format multiple values for a parameter when I want to pass the "&prompt0=" value. The values I want to pass are numbers, not strings.
Anyone can help?

Hi gayatri,
you need to select both the product id and custname.put a count on the prodid column and write a condition of count>1 and apply it.

Multiple values for the Parameter

1. Had any tried the selecting MULTIPLE values for the parameter in Oracle Discoverer Plus Releae 4.1 Version 4.1.37.00.0. If so can please let me know how to implement it.
2. In a Page-Detail Cross Tab workbook, I have to show the weighted average instead of the avg or sum. Any inputs please.
3. I have to compare two periods (TOP) of datapoints. Any inputs please.

If you wanted to eliminate the need for users to type in the parameter values, you could create a LOV on the desired column. This will produce a distinct list of all valid values where the user would simply select as the wish. Of course you still need to check the "let user enter multiple values" checkbox if you want them to select more than one.

Running report from command line with multiple value for same parameter

Hey,
I know how to run a report from the command line specifying parameters values each time but I was wondering if someone could tell me how I would go about running the same report multiple times in a batch program but specifying a list of values to pass to a parameter each time.
So for example if a parameter was 'School Number', how could I run a report in a batch program that would pass a school number to the report as a parameter using a list of school numbers generated for a sql statement or something. So if I had 300 school numbers in my list then I would get 300 different reports when the batch program finished.
This leads me to another question. How can I dynamically change the name of the report generated by the batch to use the school number value passed in, so for example if the value 3 was passed in the name would be something like School 3.pdf, if 4 was passed in the name would be School 4.pdf....etc
Any help on this?
Thanks

Passing multiple values to a parameter in report

Can anyone help me how to pass multiple parameters to a parameter in my report.
As user is able to select multiple values from list of values , can I pass the selected values to calling function.
Suppose if User selects Value1,Value2,Value3 from list of values of a parameter P_Org,
I need to pass all these values to parameter P_Org in my Before Trigger Function in Discoverer reproting tool.
Thanks in advance

I have a Before trigger Function to which the parameters will be passed.
Suppose if User selects multiple values for a parameter then how to pass these multiple Values to that parameter?
eg:In first Workbook Before Trigger is fired and the paramters for the trigger are
'par1','par2','par3' etc.
If User selects multiple values for a parameter 'par1' from the list of values displayed then how to pass all these values to 'par1' in Function?
After firing the trigger rows are inserted in a temp_table .My second Workbook will
fetch the rows inserted in this Temp Table.
I hope u understood what my requirement is...
Thanks in advance

Any way to pass Multiple Values for a single Label in the Parameter?

I have a Report that Contains 2 Parameters, @Customer & @Area. When trying to set up the Available Values for @Area, I'm having issues using multiple values for one Label, i.e. = "4006" Or "4610"
One of the Filters in the Report is an Operation number, which is the [OPERATION] field, which is setup as a filter on the Tablix referencing the @Area parameter.
PROBLEM: I cannot retrieve any data when trying to use the ‘Or’ Operator here. If I simply put “4006” or “4610” I retrieve data, but when trying to combine it returns no data.
Example, I need to allow a user to select ‘Chassis Incoming’, which would include data from Operations 4006 & 4610.
QUESTION:
Any way to pass Multiple Values for a single Label in the Parameter?
I realize the typical solution may be to use ‘Multi-Value’ selection, but in this case we want the User to select the Area and the multiple values for Filtering will be automatically determined for them. Otherwise, they are subject to not getting
it correct.
I have tried several different ways, such as =”4006” Or “4610”, =(“4006”, “4610”), = In(“4006”, “4610”), etc….
Note: We are using Report Builder 3.0

Based on my experience, there's no way to 'intercept' the query that gets passed back to SQL Server, so a Split wouldn't work.
Try creating either a function or stored procedure using the code below (compliments to
http://www.dotnetspider.com/resources/4680-Parse-comma-separated-string-SQL.aspx) to parse the string:
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.Parse(@Array VARCHAR(1000), @Separator VARCHAR(10))
RETURNS @ResultTable TABLE (ParseValue VARCHAR(100))AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @SeparatorPosition INT
DECLARE @ArrayValue VARCHAR(1000)
SET @Array = @Array + @Separator
WHILE PATINDEX('%' + @Separator + '%' , @Array) <> 0
BEGIN
SELECT @SeparatorPosition = PATINDEX('%' + @Separator + '%', @Array)
SELECT @ArrayValue = LEFT(@Array, @SeparatorPosition - 1)
INSERT @ResultTable VALUES (CAST(@ArrayValue AS VARCHAR))
SELECT @Array = STUFF(@Array, 1, @SeparatorPosition, '')
END
RETURN
END
Once created you can do things like this:
SELECT * FROM Parse('John,Bill,David,Thomas', ',')
SELECT * FROM (SELECT 'John' AS TestName union select 'David' AS TestName) AS Main
WHERE TestName IN (SELECT ParseValue FROM dbo.Parse('John,Bill,David,Thomas', ','))
This is what your SQL query would probably look like:
SELECT OperationID, OperationName FROM dbo.Operations
WHERE AreaID IN (SELECT ParseValue FROM dbo.Parse(@Area, ','))
You may need to fiddle around with the Separator depending on whether SQL Server inserts a space between the comma and next value.

Select multiple items from a list box as values for a parameter of crystal report and Oracle procedure

- I have a Product list box (asp.net) used as multiple selected values for a parameter.
- The Product ID is defined in the Oracle procedure as NUMBER data type.
- In my crystal report, I have a parameter field allow multiple values as p_product_id type as Number. This is the code in my Record Selection Formula for the report:
({?p_product_id}[1] = -1 OR {Procedure_name.product_id} in {p_product_id})
- In C#, this is my code
List<decimal?> productUnit = new List<decimal?>();
int counter = 0;
decimal prod;
for (int i = 0; i < lstProducts.Items.Count; i++)
              if (lstProducts.Items[i].Selected)
                            if (decimal.TryParse(lstProduct.Items[i].Value, out prod))
                                productUnit.Add((decimal?)prod);
                                counter++;
       if (counter == 0)
                   productUnit.Add(-1);
ReportingDAO rDataFactory = new ReportingDAO();
retVal = rDataFactory.GetProductReport(productUnit);
public CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument GetProductReport(List<decimal?> productUnit)
          CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument retVal = new rptProductDownload();
          ReportLogon rptLog = new ReportLogon();
         rptLog.Logon(retVal, "RPT_PRODUCT_DOWNLOAD");
         retVal.SetParameterValue("p_product_id", productUnit);
I keep having the "Value does not fall within the expected range" when I debug. My question is, is the data type I used for procedure/Crystal report/ and C# correct ? I always have problem with the data type. Any help would be
appreciated

Multiple choose for one parameter

Hi, does Oracle Report support the multiple choose for one parameter? i used a IN statement inside my WHERE conditions as following

i want user can have multiple choises on p_style value. but in the parameter form i only can make one choise. Does any one know how to do the multi choise from parameter form? if you do, please help me. Thank you very much.

Li<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
you can do that by flowing the stap
at first you will write a select statement
select ...
From ...
where Style (colomn name) = &style1
then you create a user parameter soupose wich name is P_style and which valus is x, y, and z you should enter another value soupose that name is 'All' (All means x + y + Z)
then you write in after parameter form trigger...
IF :P_style = 'All' then
:style1 := null;
Else :style1 := 'and style (style means your column name) = :P_style;
end if;
null

Multiple values for Time Characteristics (Ex: 0CALMONTH) in planning layout

Hello,
We are on BW - BPS 3.5v
We have a realtime infocube with only time characteristic 0CALMONTH.
There is a requirement that in my Planning layout I have to display the Keyfigures for:
(CURRENT MONTH) (CUMULATIVE 4 MONTHS FROM CURRENT MONTH) (CUMULATIVE 7 MONTHS FROM CUR MONTH)
I defined 3 exit variables on 0CALMONTH , one for Current Month, one for All 4 months from Current Month and another for All 7 months from Current Month.
In my planning layout when I use these variables for 0CALMONTH, I don't get the values for 4 months & 7 months.
I checked the variables are being populated with correct values. But when they get passed to the layout it doesn't read the Cube.
I got the basic doubt if we can give multiple values for the time characteristics in planning layout..??
Thanks for any suggestions.
Vish

Hi.
Did you created 3 restricted KF: one with KF amount and variable current month, second with amount and variable 4 monthes, third with amount and variable 7 monthes ?
Did you have match records in you cube ?

Error: Missing initial value for session parameter

I'm facing a problem while running the ETL process for Complete 11.5.10 Execution Plan in DAC Client. Some tasks are getting failed beacuse of the following error:-

When i checked the parameter file i can see the value assigned to the $DBConnection_OLAP. The same tasks ran successfully when i ran the ETL process for Complete 11.5.10 for the first time. I did not change anything after that and also all these are came built-in with the installation of Oracle BI Applications.
Please anyone give me an idea what is causing the problem.
Thanks,

in DAC > Run History > Task Details, query
Name = SDE_ORA_Product_Category_Temporary
Open Status Description, look for string -lpf, the file after it is the actual parameter file DAC send to INFA server. E.g
-lpf D:\DACTOPUS\Informatica\parameters\SDE_ORAR12_Adaptor.SDE_ORA_Product_Category_Temporary.txt
Open the parameter file, most likely the [session_name] does not match with SDE_ORA_Product_Category_Derive_Full or some parameters are missing.
