Default values of parameters in infoview

Hi
I have a master report with no data source, but with many sub reports. Each sub report is based on a BEx query. Now I have a set of parameters that basically act as a flag to allow the user to decide wich sub reports to show. The parameters are basically strings which are Yes or No. I set the default of the parameters and then publish the the report to bobj enterprise via the SAP toolbar. I'm finding that the default values are not being set in infoview. Is there any way to get have the default values set when publishing to bobj enterprise and when migrating crystal reports between environments via transports?
Thanks,
Daniel

Hi Ingo,
Yes that is right, in Crystal reports I have a string parameter named "Display Note 2" with values Yes or No, I set default to No.
Now when I publish all the way to BOBJ, the parameter value is "No current value has been set."
Thanks,
Daniel

Dynamic default values in parameters

Hello,
anyone knows if it's possible to set dynamic values as default values for parameters in portal?
i am specially interested in the use the date we are in to pass it to a discoverer worksheet (month or year) via single parameter form or any other porlet that could perform it.
Many thanks.
Regards,
Daniel
PS
Is the second thread i create with this question cause i didnt receive any answer before and i am really interested in any solution or knowing that i cant perform it.

no one have ever used a date parameter (for example, month) that need a default value, and set this default value as the month we are today?
maybe i didnt explain my problem properly before...
thanks for any help, i really need this because all the porlets in the portal i am creating are discoverer's reports that presented by month, year or day.

Default values for static report parameters are not visible when scheduling

Hello
Crystal Reports 2008 Dev
Crystal Reports Server 2008
When I publish a report to the repository and then try to schedule that report, the default value that I have set for a static parameter in the report is not visible.
In the Parameters section of the Scheduling wizard this parameter is marked as [EMPTY]
However, when I View the report (right click and select View) from within Infoview, the parameter default value is visible
I have published in the following 3 ways:
Publishing Wizard
File > Save As > Enterprise from withing Crystal Reports Dev
CMC > Folders > Add > Crystal Reports
The results are the same for each method of publishing.
To try to eliminate any DB issues etc i have created a report that is not attached to a datasource.
This test report has one Static parameter.
I have set 3 values for its list: Entry A, Entry B, Entry C
Entry X is set as the parameter Default Value
The parameter is placed in the details section of the report
When the report is Viewed it will prompt for parameter entry, with the default value present
When I try to schedule the report is will not have an entry for its parameter
It seems to me that the default values for parameters should be retained from report design through to report schedule, especially when the default values are retained from report design to report View
Is this a config problem that i have ?
Can anyone help me with this ?
Best regards

Hi Robert
Thanks for the reply and apologies for not responding sooner.
What i have found is that if i use Publishing Wizard to upload reports it is then possible to set values for prompts during the last step of this process.
Although this is a bit clumsy, it is sufficient for now
Best regards

Parameter field default values not being set in BO Infoview

For a report, I have three numeric input parameter fields with a default value of -1. When the report is processed in the Crystal Reports development environment, the parameter fields are all displayed with the default values.
When copied and then processed in BO Infoview, the three parameters come up with a value of "Empty". In order for the report to process correctly, these "Empty" fields need to be individually called, a numeric value entered and then the report "Scheduled". Does anyone know of any way to force or get Infoview to use the pre-defined default values of these fields when running with Infoview?
Thanks

In the CMC, you have to config the report object's parameter.
It's under the Process tab of Object.

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.

Start/End Date parameters that check day of week and using to set default values.

Hi,
I've got a report that presents data between a start and an end date.
I want it to check if it's a monday and present data from the previous week, otherwise present data from this week.
For the "Default" value of parameter @startdate, I've got the following expression:
=iif(WeekdayName(DatePart("w", Today)) = "Monday",DateAdd("d",-8,Today()),DATEADD("d", 1 - DATEPART(DateInterval.WeekDay, Today(),FirstDayOfWeek.Sunday), Today()))
for @enddate I've got default value:
=iif(WeekdayName(DatePart("w", Today)) = "Monday",DateAdd("d",-1,Today()),DATEADD("d", 7 - DATEPART(DateInterval.WeekDay, Today(),FirstDayOfWeek.Sunday), Today()))
but it doesn't appear to be working, I've checked
WeekdayName(DatePart("w", Today))
as an expression in a text box and it evaluates to Monday but my IIF statement above always uses the DATEADD line therefore not returning "Monday" as the value (even though it is).
Is it a problem that the parameters are of Data/Time data type and I'm trying to evaluate as type text?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks :)

StartDate
=IIf(DateDiff(DateInterval.Day,CDate("01/01/1900"),Today) Mod 7 =0,DateAdd(DateInterval.WeekOfYear,DateDiff(DateInterval.WeekOfYear,CDate("01/01/1900"),Today)-1,CDate("01/01/1900")),DateAdd(DateInterval.WeekOfYear,DateDiff(DateInterval.WeekOfYear,CDate("01/01/1900"),Today),CDate("01/01/1900")))
EndDate
=IIf(DateDiff(DateInterval.Day,CDate("01/01/1900"),Today) Mod 7 =0,DateAdd(DateInterval.Day,-1,DateAdd(DateInterval.WeekOfYear,DateDiff(DateInterval.WeekOfYear,CDate("01/01/1900"),Today),CDate("01/01/1900"))),DateAdd(DateInterval.Day,-1,DateAdd(DateInterval.WeekOfYear,DateDiff(DateInterval.WeekOfYear,CDate("01/01/1900"),Today)+1,CDate("01/01/1900"))))

Default value for date parameters

Hi,
There are several reports that have from_date/to_date parameters where the default value is, e.g. 01/01/2012 and 31/12/2012.
Every year, after the previous year is closed, I go through the process of having to change the default values to the new year in all the reports. I have checked but not found an option of using a formula for a default value in a parameter. Could there have been something new recently that I missed?
Or does anyone have a suggestion of a way to get around it? I have tried in the past trying to extract the year from sysdate, but have not succeeded in getting a formula that the Discoverer accepts in the default value.
Thanks.
Leah

Thanks for the information. I doubt that my boss would go for it but I will speak to him when I am at work next week. We have some old reports which have a default value of null and that would most probably be confusing for many of the users. Is there a way to have the default the end of the year also?
Once again, thank you.

How we can find out the default value of the initialization parameters

Hi All,
How we can find out the default value of the initilization parameters from oracle database.
Thanks
Shiju

Hi,
you can find currently used parameter values v$parameter and v$parameter2.
if default values is different real values then you can see alert.log.
because in alert.log you will see non default values, rests is default.

Static Parameters - Default Values Not Showing On Crystal Server

First, I create a basic report with static parameters. Then I assign default values to the parameters. When I run the report in the Crystal Developer, a window pops up and I see my parameters with the default values assigned. At this point, if I run the report, it runs as expected and uses the default parameter values.
However... if I install this same report on the Crystal Server, select 'Properties' > 'Default Settings' > 'Parameters', I see my parameters but I don't see their default values, yet if I select 'View', then a window pops up and I see my parameters and their default values.
I guess I have the following questions:
1. What's the difference between 'Viewing' and 'Running' a report on the Crystal Server?
2. Why don't I see the parameter default values when I select 'Properties' > 'Default Settings' > 'Parameters' in the Crystal Server?
I see the same behavior whether I use CR Developer XI or 2008. The reports are being run on Crystal Server 2008.

Hi,
There are two modes of saving a report. 1 save your report with data (to do this go in File-- Save Report with Data check this option) 2. Save your report without data (uncheck the above said option)
I think you are saving your report without saving the data with your report. Try to save the report with saved data this will keep your parameter default values.
Viewing is just looking at your report data which was saved along with your report. 'Running' is nothing but you are refreshing your report which will give you current data.

Hi,
You should check p_file is initial or not before assigning any value to it, as you want to make it as default value and not to assign the same value once again to p_file if changed by user.
INITIALIZATION.
If p_file is initial.
CONCATENATE sy-host '_' sy-datum '.csv' INTO p_file.
endif.

DEFAULT values for OUT and IN/OUT parameters in PL/SQL

Why are OUT and IN OUT parameters not allowed to have DEFAULT values assigned to them? Or is there a way around this?
thank u

For IN parameters this makes sense. For OUT parameters... hm... when you don't get anything out you also don't need a default value. I think the cases where you want to overload can't be compared with default values.
For IN a default value would be like:
If I don't add this parameter it should use 'DEFAULT' as INPUT value.
For an out parameter:
If I don't use a variable for this parameter the output value should be 'DEFAULT'.
and written into nirvana? it does not make sense to say I output something but I don't output something.
