Crystal Reports scheduling disregard the default values and requires prompts to be answered every time.

Hi guys,
When scheduling a Crystal report, the page to configure the prompt answers does not have any prompts answered by default - they all appear as "[EMPTY]". This means that any required prompts must be answered during configuration of the alert schedule. Since prompt is required and the default value (which is equivalent to not answering the prompt) is not available in the selection list.
Is there any way around it?
Ideally I would like the prompts to keep the default values, so I could schedule the report for all the prompt answers (Whole list of value) instead of having at least one prompt value.
Is there any configuration in crystal reports or on database side that could help me resolve the issue.

First off, Thank you for your replies!
Rabeb SLIMANI, we can't use universes by user requirement. If we could, it would have to be through IDT (Information Design Tool) but, nonetheless, the users want a direct BICS connection between BEx and WebI.
Victor Gabriel Saiz Castillo, we can't do that because the users want to choose between accessing the published instances or refreshing the reports on demand.
The way i see it, it would take a second set of BEx query + WebI report to provide both functionalities (one for ready for input, another for not ready for input). Am I correct?
@Sathish Kumar (sorry, i can't tag you right), i was checking with the BW team and we already have the logic for If left null, populate with Customer Exits.
But they are currently mandatory, so we will change them to optional and test the behavior.
If you have any other ideas, they are more than welcome! I will keep you posted on the outcome!
Best regards,
Francisco

The beta page and Test Pilot page come up EVERY time I use Firefox. Same information so why not allow us to bypass it after the 1st or 2nd or 3rd reading?

Bug report (BlackBerry Z10) - The default value of 10 attempt to enter your device password is not working.

Hi BlackBerry / Community Support,
My son had accidentally enter incorrect password 5 times on my Z10 (Model STL100-2, OS 10.1) and I could not unlocked it on my 6th attempt. The Z10 device does not recognize my correct password on my 6th attempt and was stuck on that attempt (every time I enter my password the device does not recognize it and will revert on the 6/10 attempt).
The device is requiring me to enter "blackberry" even though it was just 6/10 attempt and I don't want to do it cause I know it will wipe my device. Any one who had experience this and found a solution please help.
Thank you,
Oliver

I had the same thing happened to me not long ago, and when I typed BLACKBERRY, it went stait back to the password entry field and I lost absolutely NOTHING
My advice is that you do what the phone ask just type BLACKBERRY, and then you will be able to type your password without losing anything

How to set the default value in dashboard prompt?

Hi there,
In my Dashboard prompt I'm getting values like:
Mar 2010
Apr 2010
May 2010
Jun 2010
How to set the default value to the current month (Jun 2010). I don't want to use "specific value". I want to use the "SQL Result" for populating the default value.
Appreciate your help

hi,
you can create a Repository variable current_month with the expression as
select to_char(trunc(sysdate),'Mon')from dual
and use this in the prompt "Default to" Server variable and use this repository variable.
hope this helps.
cheers,

Crystal Reports 2008: "convert DB null values to default"

All:
Quick question on CR 2008;
Which default value will be set when you enable u201Cconvert DB null values to defaultu201D using report option in CR - based on Database default value setting or Crystal Report's?
Thanks.
Sathish.

So it is Crystal Reports settings NOT database default value settings that Crystal Reports uses, correct?
Thank you!

ORA-01400 - not null column with default value and item with authorization

I've searched - I would think someone has run into this. APEX 3.0.0.00.20 - I've created a simple form on a table. One of the column is a not null column with a default value. I have a select list on that item, but it has security on it - authorization scheme. So, it checks the user and if that user isn't of the right role, it will not even display that item. However, APEX appears to still send in the column in its sql! So, the default value is useless, it sends in null each time. Even if I set the default at the Item level, I get null. Argg. That's got to be a bug...
In debug, I do not see the item listed at all. It's not used. That's fine - but why is it trying to insert the value? I would think it would leave it off??? I think because the item is associated with a database column. But, getting around this is ugly. Having to create a hidden item for each one, and then check to see if I need to take the list value... horrible. Any way to get around this???

I should add - I guess I can always put my own custom process in to replace the DML. Just seems like a simple thing - if the value doesn't appear on the debug, isn't set with any default value... don't include it in the DML.

yes Srini
as we dont have any option via personalization to set the default values ,it can be done through controller extension ,
in processRequest method of extended controllere get the control for that particular field where u want to set the default value and set the value using fieldbean.setValue(pagecontext,value);
in case of any particular case ,please post in the forum

SSRS 2008 R2 Report parameters have default values and report not to auto run

Hi, I am using SSRS 2008 R2 one of my requirements for a Report is all the parameters have default value and I do not want this report to auto run when users open this report. I can create a dummy hidden parameter to break the auto run for this
report. But I am looking for solutions other than that.
Thanks in advance..........
Ione

Hi lone,
According to your description, you have a report with parameters. Now you want you report not to run automatically with your parameters default values. Right?
In Reporting Service, if you have parameters with default values in your report, your report will always auto run with these default values. We can say these default values are used for report running initially. So for your requirement, if you really need
to see your default value before the report running, the best workaround is set one more parameter to break the auto run like you have done. If you just want your report not to auto run, your can achieve it by removing those default values.
Reference:
Report Parameters (Report Builder and SSRS)
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

The default value as "None" for the report filter which is Value List type?

Hello,
I want to know is it possible to make the default value as "None" for the report filter which is Value List data type?
For example:The Project Classification Value List value type which have many value like "Supplier Rationalization" "Category Sourcing" "Contract Regegotiation" etc, and the value "Supplier Rationalization" is in the frist positon in the value list. When i use "Project Classification " as a report filter, the value "Supplier Rationalization" displayed as default value. And in the value list box in report filter of Project Classification , there is a value "None" which should be added automatically by system. So i manually filled the default value with "None" in Filter Prompt screen, but it does not work. After i display the report ,the Project Classification filter still use the ""Supplier Rationalization" as the default value.
My current ESO version is 5.1. I tried other ESO version like 5.15, if i manaully give a default value "None" in Filter Prompt screen for filter Project Classification, then the default value is "None". It works well.
Does anybody know if it's possible to do the same thing in ESO 5.1?
Thanks & Regards,
David
Edited by: David Gao on Aug 11, 2010 4:06 AM

Hi David -
This is possible, but the technique is not too obvious...
To make "None" be the default choice for a query definition filter parameter of type value list type, you need to set the default value of the filter parameter to the following:
<internal id of value list type>:616:NULL
For example, I believe you will see that the internal id of the Project Classification value list type is 51, so the default value of the filter parameter would be:
51:616:NULL
I hope this helps.

How to set a default value for a drop down list box and then apply cascading based on the default value in Infopath 2010.

Hello Everyone
I have two drop downs. Both are coming from look up fields from two lists. i want to set a default value(first list item) for the first drop down list box and then apply cascading based on the default value for the next drop down list box. I found one article(http://www.bizsupportonline.net/infopath2010/display-first-item-drop-down-list-box-infopath-2010.htm)
where in i can set a default value but i can't apply cascading based on that default value. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Firefox will update in increments when you use such old versions. The best thing to do is to go to www.getfirefox.com, and download Firefox 19.0.2. This is going to be much faster than updating to 3.0.19, then to 3.6, then 12, then 19 (which is the current process).

I want to set a variable with default value and can be changed by the user

hi,
i want to set a variable with default value and can be changed by the user, so i new a variable with setting : customer exit, single value, optional, ready for input.
in my customer exit code, i set a default value, eg. 20070530
when the variable screen popup, it display the default value 20070530, i changed it to 20070529, but it doesn't work , it still display the data in 20070530, how can i solve this problem?
your help is appreciated.

Liu,
As mentioned by Anil, you need to restrict your customerr Exit code to I_STEP = 1.
or.
<u>Open your Variable in change mode, in the Last Page os the Variable Maintenance you can provide default value. Note: you are doing same thing in Customer Exit. In your case no need of Customer Exit.</u>

I had checked the user name and password and access to the file location, they are fine. We have scheduled this report to run daily, but somedays it throws the above error and somedays it runs fine. Any ideas please?

Crystal Reports 2008 SP3 Additional parameter values are needed

I recently upgraded to Crystal Reports 2008 SP3, and now when I try an export a report from the Crystal Reports Designer, I get the error "Additional parameter values are needed before this report can be saved or viewed with data. Click 'Ok' to enter the missing values or 'Cancel' to proceed without data". I am trying to export the report to Crystal Reports format. The report is getting data from a MS SQL 2005 stored proc. I tried building a new simple report (just took all the fields in the result set and put them in the details section) using the same stored proc, and get the same error when I try to export.
FYI, before I try to export I always preview the data in the report, so the parameters are defiantly set correctly.
This was working correctly in Crystal Reports 2008 SP2.

Please re-post if this is still an issue or purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with you directly:
