CF8 Report Builder duplicates subreport parameters

I am experiencing this problem running Report Builder under
Windows XP:
1. Create a report.
2. Create a subreport that has input parameters.
3. Add the subreport to the primary report and define
subreport parameters.
4. Save and close both files.
5. Reopen the primary report file.
6. Look at the list of subreport parameters for the linked
subreport
I routinely find that in this scenario, any subreport
parameter that I originally defined has been duplicated, such that
if I started with:
varOne - #query.foo#
varTwo - #query.bar#
Upon reopening the primary report and insepcting the
subreport paramaters list I will see:
varOne - #query.foo#
varTwo - #query.bar#
varOne - #query.foo#
varTwo - #query.bar#
Which causes errors when I attempt to run the report.
What's the patch schedule for report builder?

This problem appears to be fixed in build 181436 of the

  • Cf8 report builder characterEncode ?

    HI,all
    I am using win xp sp3/cf8.01, cf8 report builder,mssql2k5,IE6

    When the label in the Report is Chinese word, the Chinese words will replace by “?” if the Report generated into pdf file.
    The final result as the following picture shows:
    If press F8 button, the situation is below:
    If I change the pdf character Encoding into identity-H, the problem still cannot be solved. Is there anyone who can tell me why and how to solve the problem? Thanks very much!

  • Does CF8 Report Builder work with CF7?

    Title says it all. I have CF7 and I recently uninstalled CF7
    Report Builder. I saw CF8 Report Builder on the adobe downloads
    page and wondered if it works with CF7 (minus the new features of
    CF8).

    Hi Tarun,
    The runtime distribution packages are for licensed users who have developed an application. As long as your app is for internal use only then there are no extra fee's. However if you are selling or installing your application outside of your company then please contact our Sales team to purchase a one time deployment license package.
    As for making CR 2008 runtime work on and in 64 bit OS's, it won't happen. CR 2008 is 32 bit only. Next version of CR has both 32 and 64 bit runtime but it's currently beta only and should not be installed in a live production system.
    Your other options are to use VS .NET 2008 and CR 10.5 runtime which does have a 64 bit runtime package but is limited as to which database types you can connect to and export types you can export the report to.
    Thank you

  • Dynamically passing text and url-based images as an input parameter to cf8 report builder

    I'm unsuccessfully trying to dynamically pass text and url-based images to a group footer or the detail section via an input parameter or even hardcoded. The field has the attribute 'XHTML Text Formating' set to True. The following are failed samples of a simplified value:
    "<img height=’300’ alt=’Document’ width=’300’ src=’http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif’ />"
    or
    "<img src=’http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif’ />"
    This just results in the above text being output. The end result would have various text and images from a database as input by a user, thus the reason I cannot just use the hyperlink information attribute as I could if it were a single known image. I tried rtf and pdf report types. Ideas?

    HTH,
    Thanks. I'll keep that in mind, although I don't know how many images my user might need or what sizes so that might be tricky.
    Since my target output is rtf so that MS Word can be used to edit the result, I added a pagebreak to a MS Word doc and used the resulting html source to replace the rich text editor source code for the page break, but that did not help either. The page break was so a user could add an image later. Something is wrong with the Report Builder related to intepreting XHTML, especially anything that has an attribute, including URL-based image links. I hope they try to provide another update before CF9. I doubt my client will be going to CF9 for some time, since they are just completing the migration to CF8.

  • Margin Bug in CF8 Report Builder???

    Build: 193563
    When I set my left and right margins to .50 inches the generated report comes out with a .25 inch margin left and .75 inch right. After a couple of hours searching the web for a solution and playing with various combinations of margins, I changed my margins to .49 inch left and .51 inch right and the report is much closer to centered on the page.
    Is this in fact a bug in Report Builder CF801? Is there something I'm missing or should I look somewhere else for answers?

  • CAN CF8 REPORT BUILDER  SUPPORT PDF CHINESE VERSION FILE?

    why the report builder of coldfusion 8 can not support the PDF chinese version files? Does it need install any other plugin to support it?
    Thanks advance for your reply!

    what seems to be the problem?
    did use the right font? set the correct encoding? can you produce "chinese

  • Returning all the days in selected Month in a Year using Report Builder

    I am working Report Builder with SharePoint List Data Source. Report builder has to parameters Month and Year. If i select month as March and year as 2014 the report have to display
    March 1 2014 Saturday
    March 2 2014 Sunday
    March 3 2014 Monday
    March 31 2014 Monday
    Can any one help on this, do i have to write this in Dataset Property query, Report Builder Properties or calling any function.....!
    Appreciate if any example query. Thank you

    Hi SPBee,
    If the all fields are already returned by dataset with SharePoint List Data Source, we can directly add filters in your dataset to achieve your requirement.
    Expression: [Month]
    Operator: In
    Value: [@Month]
    Expression: [Year]
    Operator: In
    Value: [@Year]
    If you want to create a report that display the data as you post, we can create a function in SQL Server Management Studio as below:
    IF EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINES WHERE ROUTINE_NAME ='CalendarTable1' AND ROUTINE_SCHEMA = 'dbo' AND ROUTINE_TYPE='FUNCTION')
    DROP FUNCTION dbo.CalendarTable1
    GO
    CREATE FUNCTION dbo.CalendarTable1
    @StartDate datetime,
    @EndDate datetime,
    @WeekDaysOnly bit = 0,
    @MonthStart bit=0
    RETURNS @CALENDAR TABLE
    Date datetime,
    [Monthname] varchar(20),
    [Dayname] varchar(20),
    [Day] int
    AS
    BEGIN
    ;With Calendar_CTE (Date,[Monthname],[Dayname],[Day])
    AS
    SELECT @StartDate,datename(Month,@StartDate),  DATENAME(dw,@StartDate), DATEPART(day,@StartDate)
    UNION ALL
    SELECT DATEADD(dd,1,Date),datename(month,DATEADD(dd,1,Date)),  DATENAME(dw,DATEADD(dd,1,Date)) ,
    DATEPART(day,DATEADD(dd,1,Date))
    FROM Calendar_CTE
    WHERE DATEADD(dd,1,Date) < = @EndDate
    INSERT INTO @CALENDAR
    SELECT Date,[monthname],[Dayname],[Day]
    FROM Calendar_CTE
    RETURN
    END
    Create two parameters start and end with Date/Time type in the report, then use the query like below in the dataset:
    SELECT * from dbo.CalendarTable1 (@start,@end,0,0)
    If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.

  • Report Builder showing duplicate data

    Hi everyone!
    When adding sub reports to my table, it now duplicates/repeats the data many times.
    why is this happening and how do I stop it?
    Thanks :)
    Allana

    Hi Allana,
    When I directly insert a subreport without any parameters to a details row cell, I can easily reproduce this issue in my environment. Generally, if we want to avoid this issue, we must design a parameterized report (for example, a report that shows the details
    for a specific customer) as the subreport. For more details, please refer to the following steps:
    Create a parameter, then add a filter based on the parameter to filter the data in the subreport.
    In the main report, insert the subreport with the corresponding parameter values.
    Then we can filter the subreport based on the parameter values to eliminate the duplicate data. Besides, we can also add a group in the main report to avoid the duplicate data in main report.

  • Report Builder Subreport issue.

    Recently, I've taken my church's fundraising database
    (Access) and moved it to a hosted server. I've written CF code to
    maintain all the tables and used Report Builder to create reports
    (such as Bid Sheets, Labels, Thank You Letters). BTW, Report
    Builder and cfreport ROCKS! However, I'm now trying to complete the
    Thank You Letters to our contributors and I've run into a bit of a
    snag....
    The letter starts out with a couple of paragraphs thanking
    them for their contribution(s). I then print a list of all the
    items they donated, followed by a couple of paragraphs summarizing
    and re-thanking them.
    The list of items is a Subreport linked to the main query.
    This works great by listing all their items. However, if the list
    contains more than 3 or 4 items, it covers up part, if not all, of
    the concluding paragraphs. I've gone in and change the positioning
    of the concluding paragraphs to "Float" but when I process the
    letter, CF hangs up and I finally get a JRun error. Then I have to
    ask the hosting service to restart CF. The hosting service is
    Godaddy.com and they are currently running CF 7.
    Any ideas how I can solve this problem?
    Regards,
    Robert

    To get extra pages just create some bogus groups on a field
    that is unique. You can then turn on the setting to Add a Page
    Break and completely hide the band, it'll work as your page break.
    To see the binding panel, click on the subreport and look for
    Subreport Parameters in the Properties Inspector, clicking on the
    "..." will bring up the binding panel.

  • How to pass an array or structure, in addition to a query, or multiple queries to the Report Builder as parameters

    Is there a way to pass an array or structure for example as parameters, in addition to a query, or multiple queries to the Report Builder in CF8? I believe this was recommended by users to be in CF8.

    BrianO,
    Although it's been a while, I thought I'd provide the code to do this for you. It works for me in CF8, and probably will in CF7.
    Here I create a structure called My, and provide that one parameter to my CFReportParam tag.
    <CFSet My = {
    Client = "Client Name",
    ReportDateFrom = DateFormat(ThisStartDate, DateMask),
    ReportDateTo = DateFormat(ThisEndDate, DateMask),
    PageHeaderImage = ImagePath & "\Logos\Page_Header.png",
    WatermarkImage = ImagePath & "\Logos\Watermark.png",
    GetBarSummary = GetBarSummary,
    GetPieSummary = GetPieSummary
    }>
    <CFReport Template="#ReportPath#\SpendSummary.cfr" Format="PDF" Query="GetSummary">
    <CFReportParam Name="My" Value="#My#">
    </CFReport>
    Inside the report itself, reference the given parameter as Param.My.PageHeaderImage for example. It can be referenced that way from any expression inside the report builder. You can even use the queries as the data source for charts (using the Data From a Query -> Query Builder -> Advanced) by entering "Param.My.GetPieSummary" where it says "Variable containing query object".

  • How to pass Multivalue parameters from main report to the subreport to a database stored procedure

    I am having a Main Report, where the user selects the parameters, and calls the subreport which in turn calls the stored proc which updates the report parameters table, which will be used by all the other sub reports to filter data on.
    It works fine when I pass single values from the Main report to the sub report, and it updates the database, but when I map the formula field to the subreport, the subreport does not even show up, and nothing happens on the database. I am thinking the subreport is not executing. I am using the 'Change Subreport Links' to map the formula fields to the subreport parameters.
    Please let me know if there is any other work around or a sample report which solves a similar problem.

    That is definitely a problem. CR 11.0 has been out of support for 5+ years(?). CR 11.5 has been out of support for close to 3 years.
    As far as I am concerned, the suggestions given here are going for naught as presumably they are based on recent builds of CR (E.g.; CR 12.x or higher). I really doubt that Abhilash or Jamie remember if CR 11.0 had problems related to the issue at hand. But they do know that their suggestions work in current versions of CR.
    Thus a suggestion; I suspect that you should be able to obtain an image from your IT where you can install CR 11.0 and update it to CR 11.5. Then use this as a proof of concept to the powers that be in your org that it is time to get with the times. BTW.; the most current version of CR is CR 2013, version 14.1.x(!). Again, something that your org should be aware of. So, even better than updating the image to CR 11.5, download the free 30 day eval of CR 2013 and try the suggestions in that version. The eval download is here:
    SME Free Trials | SME Software | SAP
    BTW.; CR 2013 is a side by side install, meaning that it will happily co-exist with your current CR 11.0 install.

  • Report Builder 3 linked report parameters not working

    Hi,
    I have an issue with Report Builder and linking to a report.
    I have a Matrix report with two Row Groups of Area and Sub Area. It simply shows a total by area and subarea of our property stock.
    I have a detail report that I want to link to. I want the matrix to work that when you click on either the area or the sub area it shows you those properties on a separate report.
    On my detail report I have created two parameters. One called area_parameter and one called subarea_parameter. These are then added to the filter od the dataset.
    On the matrix report – on the subarea total  - I have an action to open the detail report when area_parameter = Area and subarea_parameter = subarea. That works perfectly.
    The issue I have when I add an action to area. I have just placed area_parameter = Area in the action and I keep getting an error –
    The ‘subarea_parameter’ parameter is missing a value.
    What do I need to do to get this to work. As I’m only clicking on the Area, the Sub Area shouldn’t matter?
    I’m lost at how to get this to work. Is there a way round this.
    Both report have the same shared dataset

    Hi ikilledbill,
    According to your description, there is a matrix with two row groups: Area and Sub Area. You want to jump to detail report when you click either the area or the sub area. It works fine when you click sub area, but when you add Go to report action to area,
    the error occurred.
    When we click area, we could not pass values of sub area to detail report by design. As a workaround, we can set default values for subarea parameter. For detail information, please refer to the following steps:
    Create a dataset for subarea parameter.
    Right-click subarea parameter and open Parameter Properties dialog box.
    Type name and prompt, select Allow multiple values check box.
    Click Default Values in left pane, select Get values from the query, then select dataset and value field from drop down list, then click OK.
    Right-click area and click Text Box Properties.
    Click Action in left pane, select Go to report and select a subreport from drop down list.
    Click Add button to add parameter to run the detail report.
    The following screenshot is for your reference:
    If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

  • Bug in PDF generation with Report Builder CF8

    Hello
    there is a bug in the calculation of the left margin of a
    page.
    I upgraded from MX 7.02 to CF8. My "old" Reports worked fine,
    but when I export them to PDF an print them the left margin is
    different.
    I'm using metric settings in the Report Builder. I created a
    new Report with Left Margin 2 cm and a single Field with the left
    Property = 1 cm (0.9879 cm). The printed paper with these poperties
    where fine. I could measure appoximatly 3cm . But if I use Report
    Left Margin = 1.27 cm and Field left Property = 0.35cm. The left
    margin of the printed paper is only 1.1cm.
    So it depends on the choosen Values of report left margin and
    the left property of a field.
    Does anybody else have the same problem?

    I found this posting as I have now "rediscovered" this issue. I came to the same conclusion - edit ALT TEXT for every image.
    However, I think it is confusing that these paths of image file are not considered Personal Information that can be removed using the Inspect Document feature (I tried - was not successful). The list of things to be removed using this wizard is quite extensive
    - and some of them less visible than these file paths.
    It would be interesting to know if this is going to change with future updates of Word. Why is an ALT TEXT included at all per default? I think using the file path in ALT TEXT should be made optional. Is there a way to turn off this default embedding of
    the full path?
    As the OP I also used Office 2013 on Windows 7 64bit.
