Dynamic Group Prompting Parameters

Using CRXI
I would like to create a report where I can dynamically set groups based on parameters.
For example, users would be prompted to select from three different group levels: by date, by location, by charge group. So, they can select group by date, location, charge group...or location, date, charge group....or charge group, location, date....etc.
I've searched the forums, but I have not come across a detailed, conclusive answer.
Thanks in advance!

Here are some articles that will help:

Error using CR 11.5 with dynamic cascading prompts and SAP Integr.Kit XI R2

Hi,
we are using the SAP Integration Kit XI R2 (patched up to FP4.3) in order to report SAP BW data (BW 3.5) in Crystal Reports 11.5 (SP 4). In order to access the stored BEx Queries we use either the SAP BW Query or the SAP BW MDX Query Driver (_we DO NOT use any universes_). Everything seems to work fine ex cept when we want to use dynamic cascading LOVs within CR. For example when a user runs a report she/he should select first a customer group (0CUST_GROUP prompt) and then the customer (0DEBITOR). Defining the cascading prompts with dynamic LOVs is no problem in CR and when the report runs (either in CR Designer or in InfoView) both prompts appear. Still when we do a selection for the first prompt (0CUST_GROUP) we get a 0x8004380D error with the text message stating that the system is not able to retrieve the LOV data (I guess for the 0DEBITOR prompt). Please note that we do not get a corba error and no firewalls are activated. We checked the trace files of the page server and found out that there was an error calling the createRowsetCursor function within enginekernel.cpp.
Any hints on our case will be mostly appreciated. We have the feeling that we are hitting a bug here but maybe we are overseeing something.
Cheers
Stratos
PS: Please note that if we access directly the ODS Object (SAP ODS driver) the dynamic cascading prompts on exactly the same InfoObject (or better their keys in the ODS) work without a problem.

Hi Stratos
You can define LOV's in universes but unfortunately you can not use universes based on SAP in Crystal Reports.
You can define parameters in the Bex query which are passed on to Crystal Reports, so you don't need to define them in the Business Objects tools. Please have a look at the SAP Integration Kit user's guide

Dynamic Group By

Hi All,
I have a two reports in my dashboard, One for asking list of search key words when user click Search (html button) it navigates to report two with the necessary parameters and filter done.
Now there is one new requirement came up like, user want the list of column names in the dropdown box for group by. User select the filter value and select the group by column in the list then click search. This should pass the filter values as well as the group by column to the report2. The result should be filtered based on the filter values and must be grouped by the selected column.
Can anyone provide a solution or idea for this?

Hi.
Try to put the group by column drop-down value from the dashboard prompt into presentation variable and then use this value to form a dynamic group by in Answers with case statement like I did in this example:

Generate report dynamically based on parameters

I have a Report with 30-35 items and these items are divided into sets of
RMA, WIP,Inventory, finance ....
now i need to display the report dynamically based on parameters
say, for example if RMA, WIP, Inventory, finance are YES,NO,YES, NO
then the report should display only RMA , Inventory....
any ideas/suggestions would appreciated......
Thanks,
-VK

Thanks for the Reply Sabine, let me put my question this way,
i have to display the report based on the selection criteria(parameters)
i have a generalized view which will display all the items....but the client needs them in a fashion where he chooses them as a groups since, the list is so big and he wouldn't be needing them all at once.
here is what i'm thinking for the moment since, discoverer cannot hide the columns based on runtime parameters ....correct me if i'm wrong (as per my knowledge...it cannot ) i have decided going with 16 worksheets 4 groups of items say,(RMA, WIP, INV, FINANCE..)
and now based on the flags what the end user chosses i may have to display the appropriate worksheet ....is this solution possible...if so do i have to subqueries...??..or is there any better ideas/suggestion....

How to include a default value in Dynamic cascading prompt from 2nd Level.

Hi,
I use Command Object in 'Datbase Expert' to create 'Custom Tables' and use these tables to fetch LoVs. I use Dynamic Cascading Prompts in the reports. I have a peculiar requirement using DCP.
There are Four Levels as in the Example:
Continent
   Country
   State
   City
In the Custom Table, requirement is to create an additinal row with '' that represents 'All Values selected' for that level starting from second. and The default selection should be '' . I defined that '*' means 'All Vales Selected in the report' This si not a problem. But the problem how to show a default value in a Dynamic Cascading Prompt i.e. how we can make sure in an default value can be selected in DCP from Second Level?
how can the examples 1,2,3 can be achieved detaisled below beacsuse we need to show a default value in Casacading Propmt
Eg of Schedules with DCP:
Schedule 1
Continent: Europe
   Country: *
   State: *
    City: *
Schedule2:
   Continent: Europe
   Country: England
    State: *
     City: *
Schedule 3:
    Continent: Europe
   Country: England
    State: Greater London
     City: *
Schedule 4:
Continent: Europe
   Country: England
    State: Greater London
     City: City of london

You won't be able to have a true "default" value in the various cascading levels, since there aren't default values in a dynamic cascading parameter. That being said, I've created a sample report in Crystal Reports 2008 that has a Command-driven DCP with '*' values for the 2nd and 3rd levels of my 3-tier DCP and have accounted for them in the record selection criteria. You can find the sample here at https://www.box.net/shared/mav5qp337j

Use Granfeldts Create Object to create dynamic groups

Trying to use Sorens Granfeldts, Create Object WF activity to create dynamic groups.
In a standard function evaluator activity I generate the Filter as [//WorkflowData/Filter]
The "string" I set it to is:
<Filter xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" Dialect="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2006/11/XPathFilterDialect" xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/09/enumeration">/Person[ObjectID
= /*[ObjectID = '8dfcb5e8-ff01-400c-8ca7-2a0002d2d2d4']/ComputedMember]</Filter>
In the CreateObject activity I then just have [//WorkflowData/Filter],Filter among the initial values.
The creation works if I remove this attribute so the rest of the attributes seems to be working.
The creation fails however end I get the error below in the Forefront Identity Manager event log.
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Have anyone used this WF activity to create dynamic groups and can tell how to set the Filter?

Hey Kent!
I did the same thing, with Søren`s Create Object WF. I did it like this on the filter part:
<Filter xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" Dialect="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2006/11/XPathFilterDialect" xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/09/enumeration">/Person[(Department = '[//Target/ObjectID]')]</Filter>,Filter
The whole thing looks like this:
(I use Function evaluator to generate a AccountName for groups based on a clean version of DisplayName).
[//Target/DisplayName],DisplayName
SEC_[//WorkFlowData/CleanAccountName],AccountName
[//Target/Manager],Owner
Security,Type
DOMAIN_STRING,Domain
Universal,Scope
[//Target/DisplayName]_SecGroup,Description
[//Target/Manager],DisplayedOwner
None,MembershipAddWorkflow
True,MembershipLocked
[//Target/CleanAccountName],MailNickname
<Filter xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" Dialect="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2006/11/XPathFilterDialect" xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/09/enumeration">/Person[(Department = '[//Target/ObjectID]')]</Filter>,Filter

Help with "greyed out" option for Publishing a group of Parameters in Motion 5!

How do you group published parameters in Motion 5, so that you don't have one giant list of published options for Final Cut Pro X?
My main goal is To publish a compound parameter (a parameter with nested subparameters)
Looking through Motion Help, it should be as easy as clicking the little disclosure triangle on the right of the inspector, but the word "Publish" is greyed out...

I know I've looked at rigging, but based off the Motion Help Online Manual, It should be as simple as clicking on the option for publish and have nested subparameters...
Rigging is excellent, but more steps would be needed to do the same thing i believe...

Dynamic XSLT processing - parameters?

Goal: I want my XSLT mapping to be dynamic, because I expect a certain number of fields with values in my XML, but these field names may change over time, so I have to make it dynamic.
Step 1: I made my output dynamic by using dynamic internal tables (field-symbols). So that I can change my internal tables easily with a custom-table. Done!
Step 2: My XSLT transformation should be handled dynamically. Not done!
Is this step 2 even possible?
I was thinking of passing PARAMETERS to my CALL TRANSFORMATION statement so that I can let know what fieldnames my XSLT can expect, but then the question remains if the ZTEST transformation can read this out for my purpose.
CALL TRANSFORMATION ztest
PARAMETERS (gt_param)
SOURCE XML gt_itab
RESULT (gt_result_xml).
...knowing that gt_param can only by of type
ABAP_TRANS_PARMBIND_TAB (for specifying strings) or
ABAP_TRANS_OBJBIND_TAB (for specifying object references) or
ABAP_TRANS_PARM_OBJ_BIND_TAB (for specifying data references).
Thus, is it possible to make my TRANSFORMATION handling dynamic (by using PARAMETERS or something else)? If yes, does anybody know how. Examples are appreciated.
Mehmet Metin

This can be done with basic XSLT. Use the XPath expression '*' to apply a template to each child of a given node (for example, if a node represents an ABAP structure, its children represent its components). In the template, use the XPath-function 'local-name()' to retrieve the name of the current element without namespace. Now you should have everything you need for creating the result tree.
For a working example in our XI system, see the following template:
<xsl:template match="ZMEDI_MELDUNG_DET">
<xsl:element name="{SEGID_N}">
    <xsl:element name='SEGID_N'>
      <xsl:value-of select="*[position()=1]"/>
    </xsl:element>
    <xsl:for-each select="*[position()>1 and text() != '']">
      <xsl:element name="{local-name()}">
        <xsl:value-of select="."/>
      </xsl:element>
    </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
Here, I copy the components of the ABAP source structure ZMEDI_MELDUNG_DET (the structure name was fixed in my case, but it's easy to identify it without specifying its name, if it should be given at runtime only) into a result tree fragment with parent node name = the content of the ABAP component SEGID_N, the first child having the fixed name SEGID_N with (redundant) its value again, and after that all the components of the source structure, whatever they may be, if their content is non-empty (this was a format required by another non-SAP-development team).

LMS 2.6 dynamic groups with wildcards

Is is possible to build dynamic groups in RME using wildcards or regular expresions? The rules that I want to define would look similar to the following:
Device.System.Name StartsWith "SW" AND (
Device.System.Name contains "........X" OR
Device.System.Name contains "........Y" OR
Device.System.Name contains "........E" OR
Device.System.Name contains "........Z")
Where the device name begins with SW and there is either an X, Y, E or Z in the 8th position of the device name.

This is not possible. The ruleset matching is based only on the operators available for the given property.
The best workaround I can give you is to apply your first rule, then manually adjust the membership list based on the other rules. The downside of this is that the membership list would require modification when you add new devices.

Dynamic Cascading prompt in Webi

Is there a way either at Webi/Universe level to create dynamic cascading prompt in webi based on selection from first filter object.
e.g. two objects, Region and Office.
In webi, Region is the first filter, Office is the second.
After user selects a Region, I want the second Office prompt values to display only the offices for the region that user's selected.
Is there is a way to do? or a work round?
If I just create cascading LOV, it will just display all regions and it's offices together.
Thanks

You try the below
Go to the Office Property.
Edit the List of Values for the Office object.
Check the Automatic Refresh Before Use option.
Click Edit.
Bring Region into the Conditions and set it to: in list Prompt('What Region?')
Click Save and Close
Click Apply and edit the next LOV object.
Save this Universe and let's generate a report.
Now in the report you create the Prompt on Region. Prompt('What Region?')
Have a look in to

Hope this may help you out.

Hi Frank,
there is something wrong with departmentnumber attribute of user records. Searching users with ldapsearch using "departmentnumber=*" filter fails with the following error:
ldap_search: DSA is unwilling to perform
ldap_search: additional info: Function Not Implemented
I think this is probably the cause of failing creation of dynamic groups.
Searching on other user attributes (cn, uid, employyenumber) works fine.
Still don't understand what's wrong with this particular attribute.

SQL Query for members of dynamic group - Need to include Name, Path and Type

Hello,
I built a custom dynamic group that has all my SQL databases in it using SCOM 2012 SP1. The group works fine as I can see the Name(ie, Database name), Health State, Path (ie, hostname/instance) and Types (ie; SQL 2005). Now I'm trying to
build a custom report based off this same information using a SQL query. I'm no DBA and could use some help. So far this is what i have
use
select
SourceObjectDisplayName as
'Group Name',
TargetObjectDisplayName,TargetObjectPath
from RelationshipGenericView
where isDeleted=0
AND SourceObjectDisplayName
like
'SQL_Databases_All'
ORDERBY TargetObjectDisplayName
This gets me the Group Name (which i really don't care about), database name, and hostname/instance. What I am missing is the Health State and most importantly the Type (ie, SQL Server 2005 DB, SQL Server 2008DB).
If someone could assist me here I would appreciate it. I believe I need to do some type of INNER JOIN but have no idea where the SQL type info lives or the proper structure to use. Thanks

Dynamic Cascading Prompt based on Universe

Hi,
I am attempting to build a universe-query-based report which allows the user to select inputs based on a dynamic cascading prompt. I have created the cascading LOVs in the Universe design. However, when the user is asked to select inputs, the prompts do not appear to cascade. They show all possible values independent of each input(there are 3 inputs). When I try to manually create the dynamic cascading prompt on the actual report, I select dynamic parameter but it does not show any values under the Choose Data Source option. All it shows is "(None)". Any suggestions on how I can get this cascading prompt to work? I am using CR 2008 also.
Thanks for you help!

Dynamic group membership Query based on alert description - IS package failed

Hi there all good people,
Ive got the following case:
i need to filter out some of the alerts raised bij the is package failed Alert rule.
All allerts raised need a override accept two alerts with a specific description. example:
Alert description: Package "Full Back-Up" failed. should still raise an alert also the
Alert description: Package "Full Db Back-Up" failed.
I.m playing arround with dynamic groups. Can somebody give me some pointers?
Or do i need to create an new alert rule? en override this one for all objects?
I hope the question is clear, im no native english speaking
