Can't not update existing record filter value in java sdk.

Question

Hi,
If there is existing record filter, such as " {table.a_field} = {?paramA}"
Then can't update it to other value. e.g " {table.a_field} = value_A"
The flow is
1. Update paramA value
2. Update record filter value
Java code
public void setRecordFilter(ReportClientDocument clientDoc, String filter)
     try
       IFilter iFilter = clientDoc.getDataDefController().getDataDefinition().getRecordFilter();
       iFilter.setFreeEditingText(filter);
       clientDoc.getDataDefController().getRecordFilterController().modify(iFilter);
     catch (ReportSDKException e)
         throw new Error("Couldn't set RecordFilter " + e.getMessage());
if exsiting filter is empty then "setRecordFilter" works.
Do you know why? and any idea to update reocord filter if the existing one like "{table.a_field} = {?paramA}"
Thanks

Hi,
In uploading of flat file , If you are able to capture the changes to the previously loaded records, Then you can follow the additve delta. So it decreases the time of uploading .Only changed or new records will be uploaded every time.
If you are not able capture the changes in flat file ,Every time you have to do full upload ,Before this delete the contents of Infocube. (Assuming there is no ODS B/W Infocube and Flat file).
