Can't delete dynamic parameter after deleting command

I have a report that I inherited.  It used commands instead of stored procedures to retrieve the data.  I needed the data in a stored procedure, so I went through and systematically switched everything over to the stored procedure fields.  When I thought I had it all moved over to the new fields, I deleted the commands.  I then went to publish the report using the Publishing Wizard.  It told me that I had unused parameters.  When I went back to check the report, I found 2 unused parameters.  I tried to delete or edit them and I can't do either function (I click the delete or edit option and nothing happens).  I tried adding the command back in, but I still couldn't delete them.  The parameters are definitely not being used anywhere in the report because:  1) I have checked everywhere and 2) they do not display the usual check mark when a field is being used.
This is an extremely complex report, and it is database intensive on a production server (I've brought the system and its users to its knees by attempting to run the report.  It is designed to run at 5am and it still takes an hour).  So, I'd really rather not recreate the report.
Does anyone have any ideas?
I saw someone else had this issue in April, 2007 (Can't delete a dynamic parameter from report), but it never got resolved (I imagine the user recreated the report).
Thanks.

Lisa,
Just taking a guess here (being that I've never seen this happen before)...
1st thing I'd try... Go back to an unaltered version of the report. and see if you can delete the parameter prior to any other modifications. 
2nd thing... Add the parameter to the report design and refresh. This should cause the parameters to prompt for values. Hopefully this will, in turn, allow you to modify the parameters.

  • Dynamic Parameter Prompting for Database Connection Password When schedulin

    I'm having problems with Dynamic Parameters when I try to schedule a report in InfoView.
    I create the report in Crystal Reports XI and publish it to the Crystal Server. I go into CMC and under Process:Database set the correct data source and enter the server, database, user and password.
    When the report is run I can choose a dynamic parameter and the reports runs fine - it's when I try to schedule the report and choose the parameter that I am asked to enter the user and password for the database.
    If the parameter is static it's fine and I don't get prompted. Because I want the end-users to schedule their own reports I need to have the user and password embedded in the report.
    From what I've read in the forums, there seems to be a lot of issues with dynamic parameters and database logons, and no real solutions. But this is just weird that it's only failing when I try to schedule the report!

    I am having the same issue. 
    Issue started on 9/25/2008
    Existing BO 11r2 installation including service pack 2
    Windows Server 2003 Service pack 2
    Existing scheduled reports do not exhibit this behaviour and run correctly.
    Add new or update existing report. Log into the CMC as administrator and set process for database and parameters.
    Exit CMC
    log into Infoview.  Click on report and run (as administrator OR as existing user with permissions) NO PROBLEM.
    Log into Infoview as Administrator or existing users with permissions) as attempt to schedule report.  All reports Any dynamic parameter and request for user name and password opens.  Once the correct info is entered the report can be scheduled.
    This is a new issue on our installation, we have been running without problems for over a year.
    Any help appreciated.

  • Can't delete file after renaming due to Word file handle still present. Error staes document is still in use but it's really not. Worked fine in 2007 but not in 2010.

    I have some code associated with a Word Template. The template is opened, filled out and saved via a routing in vba. This all works fine in older 2007 version (which is version it was originally created in). Once this file is saved, the user can change the
    date in a text box and re-save document. The code saves using the new date for part of new file name and then deletes that older file from the server. It fails at the delete function because the newer version of word is not dropping the file handle from the
    first named file when user saves it to the new filename. In older version (2007) this handle was released as soon as file was saved to a different name. I can't seem to figure out how to release the old document filename so the old document file can be deleted.
    I hope I explained this well enough.
    Here's the code that woeked in version 2007 but fails in version 2010.

    mogulman52 and Don,
    I went back and looked at my code and had already updated it to SaveAs in the new docx format. It still holds the lock handle in place until Word closes, unlike earlier versions which released the lock handle when you did a SaveAs.
    As a note, all my Word and Excel macro-enabled (dotm & xltm) templates are read only and are never filled in, prompting the user for a file name on any close event or if they run the code gets auto-named. I do the SaveAs and concatenate the file name
    from data on the document (or sheet) that has been filled in. During the SaveAs the docx gets saved to a network folder and also on a local folder. The lock gets renamed to the filename and remains until Word is closed.
    So my code still fails at the point noted below while trying to delete an old filename version after the file has been saved as a new filename in a new folder. So....
    The code is looking in the last folder where the docx file was saved for the older filename so it can be deleted. The newest docx version has already been saved in a different folder and has a new lock handle of its own. That lock is not my problem, it's
    the older file lock which really exists in the same folder as the first filename that the docx was saved to. It does not release that lock until I exit Word. My work around has been to instruct all users to manually delete the older version file.
    The other odd thing is this only happens when I run it from code, if you manually go through these steps with the SaveAs menu drop-downs in Word it will release the lock handle???
    Hope this isn't to confusing and thanks for all your suggestions and help.

  • Can't delete primary zone in DNS after moving the server

    Woe is me!
    Our MacMini was hosted at a Colo site and working fine. No firewall in front of the machine, so we turned on the server firewall and only allowed mail, web, ftp, and a couple of other services. This worked great using our external public DNS wired to our domain names and public fixed IP address. Later, we got VPN up a running (the trick was to create a second, local IP address for the ethernet port), but this also required us to turn on the server's DNS to create a split-brained DNS server.
    Everything was working swimmingly... and then we had a hard drive crash. Since we were thinking about moving the server onsite anyway (our POS system was accessed through the VPN, but it could be slow and made our tasting room dependent on Internet access in order to run the POS), we ordered Comcast business class internet with a fixed IP address.
    We updated the external public DNS to the new public fixed ip. Rather than plug the mini directly to the Comcast router (which is in pass-through mode), we elected to put a AirPort Extreme in front of it, mainly so we could get all of the POS computers on the same local network without using the mini as a DHCP/NAT router. We created a DHCP reservation on the Extreme so that the mini had a fixed local IP address. We port forwarded everything we wanted to expose to the Internet. Email started to work again. However, web services and VPN are nada.
    This being Snow Leopard Server and having spent literally hours debugging DNS issues when we first got the server, I knew it wouldn't be straightforward. And it hasn't been. Even changing the IP address of the server has been a chore.
    We ran "sudo changeip <old IP address> <new IP address>".
    Then we ran "sudo changeip -checkhostname" and received:
    "$ sudo changeip -checkhostname
    Primary address     = 10.0.8.2 <new static internal IP address>
    Current HostName    = <servername>.<domainname>.com
    The DNS hostname is not available, please repair DNS and re-run this tool.
    dirserv:success = "success""
    Oh no, the black pit of death.
    Even though I tried to modify the machine record in the local DNS to reflect the new internal static IP address, Nada.
    So, looking back on my previous research from Mr Hoffman and others, I stopped the DNS service, and I deleted the primary zone and reverse lookups in order to rebuild them from scratch. Except that no matter what I do, I can't delete the primary zone - it comes back like Dracula (even though the reverse zone and all of the zone records are gone). I tried rebuilding everything using the undeletable zone, but after a few services (saved each one separately), they would suddenly disappear.
    I am leery of messing with the DNS files on the server as I don't want to hose up Server Admin (my command line skills are rudimentary and slow). I have so much installed on the machine now that I am concerned about someone saying "reinstall".
    Help!
    Related to this is that it is not clear to me in web services which IP address you should use for the sites. The internal IP? The public IP? I thought Apache cared about the external IP address. And I think Apache is hosed at the moment due to my DNS troubles anyway.
    Thanks in advance!

    Morris Zwick wrote:
    And does anyone know which IP you enter for your sites in the web service? The public static IP or the internal private static IP?
    For the external DNS server I am sure you have already deduced that it should be the static IP issued you by Comcast and this will be forwarded by your router to your server.
    For your internal DNS server you could use either the internal LAN IP, or the external IP although the later might be affected by your firewall so this you will need to test.
    For the Web Server service in Server admin, if your only running a single website you could avoid the issue by just using the wildcard entry which will respond to any IP address, so this would be an empty host name and an IP address of *
    In fact you don't have to specify an IP address you could just use the hostname, so it will listen to traffic arriving at your server addressed to any IP address and as long as the URL that was requested includes the hostname you define for the site it will get responded to. So if as an example you have two websites you want to serve
    www.example.com
    site2.example.com
    then as long as both have the IP address for the site as an * (asterisk) then both should work as separate sites for traffic addressed to either the LAN or WAN IP address of the server.
    You will still need to use two IP addresses on the server to enable VPN, you could use a USB Ethernet adapter for the second one. Port forwarding for VPN is not as simple as other traffic as VPN requires traffic different to the standard IP and UDP packets. Routers that support 'VPN Passthrough' are specifically designed to accomodate this but I don't know if the AirPort Extreme does this. I have also found PPTP copes better with this sort of setup than L2TP although PPTP is generally regarded as less secure.

  • Why do i have more than one "Sites" cert after updateing and expired cert.Can i delete the expired cert?????

    Hi After getting the below message i updated my cert but now have 3 of the same certs? Can i delete the expired cert?????
    There is no valid SMTP Transport Layer Security (TLS) certificate for the FQDN of SERVER.domainname.local. The existing certificate for that FQDN has expired. The continued use of that FQDN will cause mail flow problems. A new certificate that contains the
    FQDN of SERVER.domainname.local should be installed on this server as soon as possible. You can create a new certificate by using the New-ExchangeCertificate task.
    I used "Get-ExchangeCertificate | Select CertificateDomains,Thumbprint,Status,Services | fl"
    to see which cert was expired
    I used "Get-ExchangeCertificate –Thumbprint 91D4C277BE4DF5FA15FC76D936375B7766ABCC23 | New-ExchangeCertificate" to replace the expired cert
    I re-ran "Get-ExchangeCertificate | Select CertificateDomains,Thumbprint,Status,Services | fl"
    to see if it had worked
    but now i have two certs one expired the other not. Can i delete the expired cert?????

    Hi 
    Yes you can delete the expired certificate which are showing  as it is not functional anymore and they remain as stale entries 
    You can use  below command
    Remove-ExchangeCertificate -Thumbprint "specify the value "

  • This morning, my iPad screen didn't respond to my touch commands. It displays mail, but I can't move the screen, can't delete an incoming item. Nothing. All the other screens work normally -- just no response to mail.

    This morning, my iPad screen didn't respond to my touch commands. It displays mail, but I can't move the screen, can't delete an incoming item. Nothing. All the other screens work normally -- just no response to mail.

    Have you tried closing the Mail app completely ? From the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • I am trying to delete pages I have crated in numbers, but can only see them in print preview. Without print preview I do not see them. How can I delete these pages, but keep others before and after?

    I am trying to delete pages I have crated in numbers, but can only see them in print preview. Without print preview I do not see them. How can I delete these pages, but keep others before and after?

    Hi Crushed,
    Numbers doesn't have pages. It has a canvas that holds objects such as tables and charts.
    Drag the objects from the bottom of the canvas onto the white space above. That will reduce the number of "pages" (sheets of paper) that will print.

  • Help! I can't delete my neighbors email from my iPhone 5 icloud account after I sold it to him after restoring it to factory settings.  Now he's on my iCloud account and it cannot be deleted.  Its impossible.  help. It seems the first one cant get delete

    Help Please, I sold my iphone 4 to my neighbor after I restored it to factory settings.  I just bought a new iphone 5 and decided to check out the icloud "stuff' so that I can use 'find my iphone' because I have 2 kids.  I went to check out my icloud on my imac and in the address bar put icloud.com then signed in, double clicked on mail went accounts then clicked on the gear in the right hand corner and there it was.  My neighbor had his email in the icloud and there absolutely was no way to delete his info off of my new phone.  I guess once the first person enters their info you absolutely cant get rid of it.  you can get rid of aliases but just not the original one. WHY!!  Is there any brilliant, wonderful,generous person out there that would know how to delete him from my account.  The genius bar said that they've never seen this before.  If someone can help I'm taking the info to the apple stores that I went to so that I can teach them how to do it.  Of course, I will tell them who showed me. I give you my word.

    As far as I know you can't delete the primary email address for an iCloud account.  It's assigned when the account is created.  But your neighbor wouldn't have been able to get into your iCloud account without your Apple ID and password.  Are you sure the account wasn't still on your phone when you gave it to him?
    You could migrate a copy of your data to a new iCloud account but I would still be concerned that someone else was using my old account, which presumably still has your data in it.
    I'm fairly certain that you're going to have to have iCloud support help you sort this one out as they may have the ability to make changes to an existing account that users can't.  Make an appointment with the genius bar at a nearby Apple store and have them take a look at it.  If necessary, they should be able to contact iCloud support for you.

  • I can´t delete files in trash. It stops after a short time undone. What can I do?

    I can´t delete files in trash . It stops after a short time undone.
    What can I do? There are 52 files in trash, but if I click the button "sure empty" it shows 11.313 files to delete .
    I would be very greatful for your help!

    Stronger medicine may be needed, but try this first
    Force the Trash to empty using the Option key
    This technique uses a hidden feature of Mac OS X to force the Trash to empty. Perform the following steps in the order specified:
    Press and hold the mouse button on the Trash icon in the Dock. The context menu for Trash will display.
    Press and hold the Option key or the Shift-Option keyboard combination,
    Select Empty Trash from the context menu for Trash.
    Release the keys pressed and held in step 2.

    You are posting in the iMac PPC forum, but it looks like you have an Intel Mac. Get Trash It if you have an Intel.

  • I am moving all my iphoto pictures to seperate folders outside of iphoto.  I have found iphoto slighlty cumbersome.  After I move all pictures from iphoto to a separate file how can I delete all the iphoto photos without deleting the ones in the file?

    I am moving all of my iphoto pictures into seperate folders becuase iphoto is great, but a bit cumbersome when I need to transfer all the pictures to a external drive.
    1) After I move all pictures, how can I delete the iphoto pictures without destroying the ones I have in files
    2) how can I ensure that I have sucessfully captures all the iphoto files so when I delelte from iphoto I have not forgotten any
    3) is there a way to determine what duplicate pictures I have?
    Thanks!

    If you Control click on the iPhoto Library, you'll see a list of folders - one named "Masters". Inside of this folder are all of your original, high-res photos. You can copy them to other folders if you like.
    You can't delete iPhoto pics without deleting the ones in the iPhoto Library.
    You can copy all of your Masters pics out of the Library, ensuring that you won't forget any.
    I don't know of anyway to determine if there are duplicate photos - most (if not all) have a unique name assigned.
    Good luck,
    Clinton
