please ignore my previous question, your reply was good for my output. Thanks
Please keep in mind that you're changing the base datatype in that case and you may see unexpected behaviour if you use these converted values for any further date manipulations.

  • Default the blank value for MessageChoice

    Hi,
    I have created a Message Choice Bean and I require to have a blank value as the first value followed by the original values. How to achieve this ?
    I have also tried setting through personalization 'Add Blank Value' to 'true' and also tried with the function 'setAllowBlankValue(true)' for the messagechoice bean. But its not working.
    Please help me by giving the valuable suggestions to achieve the above.
    With Thanks,
    Thiyagarajan

    The only possible case of this happening, is you might have made required property as true, which removes blank value because if value is required in messagechoiceebean, then blank alue can not be included.

    In DB adapter or-mappings.xml , did you made any changes. If not the open that file in any notepad editor and change the following
    <attribute-mapping xsi:type="direct-mapping">

    <field table="MYTABLE" name="MAKE_IT_BLANK_NOT_NULL" xsi:type="column"/>
    <attribute-classification>java.lang.String</attribute-classification>
    </attribute-mapping>You can try to add this:
    <attribute-mapping xsi:type="direct-mapping">

    <field table="MYTABLE" name="MAKE_IT_BLANK_NOT_NULL" xsi:type="column"/>

  • Error occurred in deployment step 'add solution' value cannot be null Parameter name: g

    Hi!
    I have a SharePoint Server 2013 with latest updates. Worflow Manager 1.0 installed and configured correctly. The server has a website, site temblate is Reacods Center. This site is default. On the site I created a blank Document library "TestLib"
     If I create workflow in SharePoint Designer 2013, workflow works normally. Workflow set Title of element to "MyCustomTitle" and Write to History string "Done!".
    If I create Empty Solution in Visual Studio 2013, insert into solution Workflow and make same actions, my solution at deployment step fails with error:
    "error occurred in deployment step 'add solution' value cannot be null Parameter name: g"
    Please, help me to resolve this problem?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    What if stop this service, then start it again, perform an iisreset? It will make the change applied to the whole farm.
    Also, you can check the ULS logs to see if there is any unexpected error occurs when deploying this solution.
    About how to check the ULS logs:

  • How to add blank entry in PickListSearchConstraint?

    Hi MDM API experts,
    I and trying to add Pick List Search Constraint and want to include the blank entry also in the criteria. how to include this ?
    I have added NullSearchConstraint, but still does not return blank values. Please help.
    Thanks,
    Deepak

    Hi Sudhanshu,
    I think I have found the solution. For the benefit of others, let me explain the situation and the solution,
    Situation:
    I needed to perform search on table1 which looks like this,
    table1
    --- filed1 (lookuptable1)
    lookuptable
    --- lookupfiled1
    lookupfiled1 contains items ("allowedvalue1", "allowedvalue2", "allowedvalue3","allowedvalue4", "unallowedvalue1","unallowedvalue2"). 
    Default value is empty / blank / null.
    So in my PickListSearchConstraint I was adding the allowedvalues (which was working fine) but I must also
    include the default entry. This is where I was having issue.
    My Solution:
    Very Simple, I have added NullValue to the PickListSearchConstraint. Here is my method:
    private void addPickListSearchConstraint(Search search, String tableName,
                   String fieldName, int[] filterValue, boolean addNullValue){
         //field id
         FieldId filedid = null;
         try {
              filedid = getFieldId(tableName, fieldName);
         } catch (ConnectionException e2) {
              e2.printStackTrace();
         } catch (CommandException e2) {
              e2.printStackTrace();
         // Values     
         int valuesLength = filterValue.length;
         MdmValue[] mdmValues = null;
         if (addNullValue){
              mdmValues = new MdmValue[valuesLength + 1];
         } else {
              mdmValues = new MdmValue[valuesLength];
         for (int i = 0; i < filterValue.length; i++) {
              mdmValues<i> = new LookupValue(new RecordId(filterValue<i>));
         if (addNullValue){ //Add Null Value also in the PickListSearchConstraint
              mdmValues[valuesLength] = NullValue.NULL;
         // Add value constaint
         if (mdmValues != null) {
              PickListSearchConstraint tscMainTypeRoot =
                        new PickListSearchConstraint(mdmValues);
              if (filedid != null){
                   //Create a FieldSearchDimension for the entered field
                   FieldSearchDimension fsdMaintableType =
                        new FieldSearchDimension(filedid);
                   search.addSearchItem(fsdMaintableType, tscMainTypeRoot);
    If someone has a better approach then please let me know.

  • Blank Values in XML Publisher

    Hi all,
    I'm generating a report in xml publisher 5.6.2, i have 4 datamodels inside the report and i'm using the Concatenated SQL Data Source option, then i generate the xml file to add it to the rtf template, the problem is that when i preview the report i'm getting blank values in the list that does not exist in the xml file.
    i Have 4 data models one is a list of flights, the other 3 are Select count(*), when i delete this 3 data models from the report everything work ok but i need this data in the report too.
    I hope someone can help me,
    THANX

    Use a conditional region around the Address2. Your if statements could look something like this.
    <?if:FIELDNAME!=''?><?FIELDNAME?><?end if?>Have the if statement start at the end of ADDRESS1 and endif at the begining of ADDRESS3.

  • Capturing blank and non blank values in parameter

    In one of the report there is only one parameter “BU VP Name”, now the business has added one more field “Director” to the application and they want this to be as a parameter. Now all the new records will have Director name
     and old records will be blank for Director. How can I create a multi parameter with blank and relevant values for my report. Please note I am using sharepoint list to create the report.
    SFH

    Hi Syedfpl,
    According to your description, you want to add a parameter which include a blank value.
    In Reporting Service, we are allowed to use blank value for a multivalue parameter, but we are not allowed to use null values. So in this scenario, you should insert some blank values(‘’) into column “Director” so that we don’t need convert null values into
    string at query level. Besides, in order to be allowed to use blank values in a parameter, we should choose the option "Allow blank value ("")". Also “Allow multiple values” option should be checked. As we tested in our environment, the
    final result looks like below:
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

  • SharePoint PPS Hide null or blank value in performancePoint chart drill down.

    Hi,
    I am using SharePoint Performance Point Service. Hide null or blank value in Performance Point chart drill down.
    Thanks & Regards
    Poomani Sankaran

    Hi Hyaron,
    I am unable to reproduce the issue in my test environment. How did you add the drilldown feature? Were you doing that by setting visibility of the column or of the group? Please ensure to add the drilldown functionality by set the visibility of the workgroup
    from the Grouping Pane in the Report Designer.
    How did you add the Interactive Sorting on the headers of the two columns? Based on the drilldown functionality, the Interactive Sorting on the second column doesn’t work. So, you can move the Interactive Sorting on the second column. When configuring the
    Interactive sorting on the first column, you should set the parent group to sort, and sort by the field that the parent group groups by.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to return blank value for a column

    Hi All
    We would like to create a short version of the BI report for the scorecards that has the same number and order of the columns, but far less rows. This will improve the size and performance of the Overhead, Services scorecard.
    For some columns, we need blank values , which means the content should be blank , but the column should appear in the report.
    I have tried checking some options in "column format" tab under column properties and played with "column header interaction" and "value interaction" , however i couldnt get the desired results.
    Can we achieve this?
    Please suggest me on the same.

  • Problem with BLANK Value in SSRS Subscription

    I have a report that I designed in Vis Studio 2005 and have deployed to SSRS 2005.  I have no issues what so ever when running it interactively out of Report Manager.  However when running it scheduled via a subscription, I am running into trouble.
    This report has a parameter called "Label".  It is set up as a String parameter, Allow Blanks, and Multi-Value.  (It does not allow me to select Null values...tells me "The properties for the currently selected item are not valid.")  I am getting Available and Default values from a query I have created in a separate dataset.  This query pulls in all possible values for Label, including a BLANK value (there are values that are and should be Blank).
    In my subscription, I want to select all Labels but label 98, including the BLANK.  So when I go in to create or edit a subscription, I simply uncheck the 98 label.  I can see a blank checked as well.  However when the subscription runs, the subscription status tells me " Failure sending mail: Default value or value provided for the report parameter 'Label' is not a valid value."   This ONLY occurs when I have the BLANK label selected in my dropdown list!
    However, when I run this interactively out of Report Manager, doing the exact same thing (selecting all labels other than label 98, INCLUDING the Blank), it works properly.
    What could be going on here?  Kinda new at this and totally stumped.
    Tony

    Hi Tony,
    I met a similar issue before. If I understand correctly, there has Null values in the list not Blank values.
    Using Null values in a parameter in subscription is not allowed.
    To solve the issue, please change the Null values to Blank values by modifying the query statement of report:
    SELECT ... IsNull(column, "") FROM...
    By the way, please update the SQL Server Reporting Services to latest version too.
    For SQL Server 2005, the latest version is Cumulative Update package 6 for SQL Server 2005 SP3.

  • ODS Key Fields allows blank values in Transformation

    Dear Experts,
    I have two layers:
    1. Datawarehouse layer (purpose is to represent exactly data at the backend)
    2. Consolidation Layer
    Scenario 1:
    In Datawarehouse layer, the fiscal variant is a key field in ODS and I have two other key fields i.e. combine to form a composite key.
    When I load the data from PSA to this ODS, I have a record which contains blank value for the fiscal variant. It successfully loads into the Datawarehouse ODS.
    Sceanrio 2:
    In the consolidation layer, i have 4 key fields out of which fiscal variant is one of them. Now when I load the data from the datawarehouse ods to consolidated ods, it throws an error saying:
    Diagnosis
         An exception fiscvarnt_missing was raised while executin
         module RST_TOBJ_TO_DERIVED_TOBJ .
    System Response
         Processing the corresponding record has been terminated.
    The transformation mapping for the fiscal varaint in both sceanarios is 1:1 mapping with the rule type 'Time Characteristic'.
    My questions is:
    1. Why different behaviour during scenario 1 and sceanario 2
    2. Solution to the above issue
    Thanks
    Jain

    Thanks J.S.
    Yes the format selected in the field for the datasource is 'Internal'.
    When loading the data from R3>PSA>ODSX(Datawarehouse Layer), I have no problems even when the field is blank.
    When loading from ODSX-->ODSY(Consolidated Layer) the empty (blank) field for that records throws error.
    Any ideas?
