Dynamic parameter batch size

How do i increase the batch size number from 5 to whatever ? or at least the least number of elements in each batch ?

Not enough info. Remember we are seeing this for the first time and have no idea what you are trying to accomplish or what version of even what product your are using. We can't assume you are using CR, some people just post wherever.

  • Dynamic Parameter Batch Size in InfoView

    How do I increase the size of the batches used during prompting for a dynamic parameter?  I am wanting to increase the batch size to a number that will actually allow me to get rid of the "batch" functionality on dynamic parameters.  I am using Crystal Report Server 2008.  I was able to increase the batch size in the Crystal Reports developer environment by editing the registry.  However, I cannot figure out how to increase the batch size of the parameters in the CMC or InfoView environments.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    THanks for the response John.  I tried changing those values and it did not work.  However, I was able to find this thread:
    [Crystal 2008 - Dynamic Paratemeter records|Crystal 2008 - Dynamic Paratemeter records]
    Making the following change suggested increased the batch size of the prompts:
    You can create or change a parameter in the Tomcat configuration file to set the batch size for long LOVs. Open the following file:
    /Tomcat/webapps/CrystalReports/WEB-INF/web.xml
    If it does not already exist, create this parameter:
    <context-param>
    <param-name>crystal_max_number_list_of_values</param-name>
    <param-value></param-value>+
    </context-param>
    +Where in the above example is the number of items in the batch.
    Thanks again for the help John.  Looking in the registry at the areas you suggested allowed me to find other values I wanted to adjust as well.

  • Dynamic Parameter Record Limit

    I am using Crystal 2008 with universes as a data source with BOE XI 3.0 (Edge) Infoview and need to create parameter fields that return greater than 1,000 records.  I have seen suggestions about modifying the local workstation registry, and also found a reference to an earlier version of BOE (SAP Note 1199759) about modifying the LOV batch size for custom sorting.  The latter refers to a Web Intelligence setting, so I'm not sure if it affects parameters in Crystal Reports.
    Which is the correct method to resolve this issue my versions of Crystal and BOE?

    Hi
    we need to make changes for CR so that it fetches more than 1000 records.
    Please refer to 1218588 - How to increase the number of values in a dynamic parameter list and make the necessary registry changes.
    Hope this helps!!

  • CR2011 Dynamic Parameter does not show list at all

    I am upgrading some Crystal Reports from CR 8.5 to 2011.  Some would be better served by using a dynamic parameter to allow the user to select the data for the parameter from the database information.  I have created a dynamic parameter on the Customer ID and set the description to be the customer name.  I have set it to handle multiple values.
    When I preview the report in the Crystal designer, I get a text box to type in but not a drop down.  To be clear, I am not talking about the LOV 1000 limit here.  There are only 50 customers in the sample file I am working with.  I tried turning the static parameter into a dynamic one, I deleted the original parameter and created a new one.
    In case it matters, the parameter is only used as part of the selection formula and if I enter a proper customer id, it will retrieve the data.  This report has about 7 tables (no stored procedures or views) and a subreport of two tables that is linked to the main report on the customer id.  The parameter is only used on the main report for record selection.  The SQL statement in the main report and subreport did need to be reset when I first opened the report in CR2011 but I did that on both.  I have verified the database and the option to verify on first refresh is checked.  The original parameter did have an imported list of about 3000 customer names.  I tried exporting the CR template to a new file and while the file size changed, the behaviour did not.
    When I create a brand new report on two of the tables, including the same customer table, and create the parameter the same way, it shows me the list properly in a dropdown at the prompt stage.
    I am not sure where to go here or what else to try.  If anyone has any suggestions, I appreciate the help. TIA, rasinc

    Thank for the reply Dell,
    I see the logic in adding the extra table and keeping it unlinked and I do know the crazy data that can come up if I use it linked to other tables or use the fields in other parts of the programming.
    However, I've now tried it several times, creating the parameter on just the name alone, with the ID alone, etc. and I still only get a text box to type into.
    I have made sure the original selection criteria
    {customer.Id} = {?Customer}
    if from the original table, not the new one, which I assume you expected me to do.
    So I decided to run the same report through CR XIR2.  When I update the Set Datasource Location, I am now getting the message
    "Invalid Argument provided.
    Details: The alias requested 'company', contains a combination of characters which is not considered to be valid"
    Company is a table containing information about the main company, not the customers.  The same message pops up for another table as well.
    Then I get a message that says:
    "Prompting failed with the following error message: 'List of Values failure: fail to get values. [Cause of error: The table company does not exist in the document.]'
    Error source: prompt.dll Error code: 0x8004380D"
    This appears to be a database access issue but I know the firewalls are not a problem because I can create a new report and get the LOV properly with the same database and same desktop computer.  I can take that report created in CR2011 and use it in CRXI also and get the proper LOV.  Is it possible I am dealing with template corruption because there were so many items imported into the static list before?

  • Why Dynamic Parameter is not working, when i create report using stored procedure ?

    Post Author: Shashi Kant
    CA Forum: General
    Hi all
    Why Dynamic Parameter is not working, when i create report XI using stored procedure ?
    Only i shaw those parameters which i used in my stored procedure, the parameter which i create dynamic using stored procedure
    is not shown to me when i referesh the report for viewing the results.
    I have used the same procedure which i mention below but can not seen the last screen which is shown in this .
    ============================================================================================
    1. Select View > Field Explorer2. Right-click on Parameter Fields and select New from the right-click menu.3. Enter u201CCustomer Nameu201D as the name for your parameter4. Under u201CList of Valuesu201D select u201CDynamicu201D5. Under the Value column, click where is says u201Cclick here to add itemu201D and select Customer Name from the drop-down list. The dialog shown now look like the one shown below in Figure 1. Click OK to return to your report design.
    Dynamic Parameter Setup6. Next, select Report > Select Expert, select the Customer Name field and click OK.7. Using the drop-down list beside select u201CIs Equal Tou201D and using the drop-down list, select your parameter field (it should be the first field). 8. Click OK to return to your report design and see the parameter dialog.The parameter dialog will appear and show you a dynamic list of values that is updated each time your run your report. It couldnu2019t be easier! In our next tutorial, we will be looking at how to use this feature to create cascading parameter fields, where the values are filtered by the preceding selection.
    Dynamic Parameters in Action
    My question is that whether dynamic parameter is working with storedprocedure or not.
    When i added one table and try to fetch records using dyanmic prameters. after that i am not be able to find the dynamic parameter option when i referesh my report.
    One more thing when i try the static parameter for my report, the option i see when i referesh the screen.
    Please reply soon , it's urgent

    Hi Kishore,
    I have tested the issue step by step by following you description, while the first issue works well in my local environment. Based on my research, this can be caused by the lookup expression or it indeed return Male value based on the logic. If you use the
    expression below, it will indeed only return the Male record. So please try to double-check the record in the two datasets and the expression in your environment:
    =lookup(first(Fields!ProgramID.Value,"DataSet1"),Fields!ProgramID.Value,Fields!Gender.Value,"DataSet2")
    As to the second issue, please try to use the following expression:
    =Count(Lookup(fields!ProgramID.value,fields!ProgramID.value,fields!Gender.value,"DataSet2"))
    Besides, if this issue still exist, in order to trouble shoot this issue more efficiently, could you please post both the .rdl  file with all the size properties to us by the following E-mail address?  It is benefit for us to do further analysis.

  • Can you limit write-behind batch sizes to a set number in Coherence 3.5?

    I'm currently running Coherence 3.5.3p9 on Windows.
    The cache store is set up to use the write-behind scheme via the read-write-backing-map-scheme tag.
    Batching is enabled with a write-delay of 5s.
    My understanding is that essentially anything that was newly inserted into the cache more than 5 seconds ago becomes eligable for storage.
    Our application goes through a bit of a peak-trough cycle. Sometimes very little data is inserted all at once and sometimes a lot is. This results in quite varying batch sizes and big batch sizes do cause issues on our db from time to time.
    I can decrease the write-delay to 1s in the hope that this will in turn decrease the batch sizes, but is there a way to set a specific number e.g. I only ever want to write 20 in a batch?

    Hi,
    you can just break down that big batch into smaller batches (DB transactions) yourself, and you can also decide that you don't want to write more at the moment.
    If you throw an exception Coherence will retry whatever is in the parameter map passed to storeAll and parameter collection to eraseAll. But it does not have to be the full list, it is expected that you remove those entries/elements which you have successfully persisted.
    This way you can control the rate of writing yourself. Also, since the write-behind thread does not block event processing, therefore you are sort of safe to do longer waits in those methods if you want to somewhat space out resource transactions without returning from storeAll.
    To answer your question:
    You can either
    - do a physical transaction of 20 elements, remove those 20 elements from the map, then optionally wait and then continue with more elements from the map as long as there are any (this gives you the chance of controlling the rate of transactions).
    - send a physical transaction of at most 20 elements to the database, remove those 20 elements from the map and then throw a dummy exception (in which case Coherence requeues the rest... take care, after this they are considered freshly changed entries).
    Best regards,
    Robert

  • Best Practice for manufacturing Industrial Machinery in batch size

    Dear Sir,
    We have a scenario where we need to manufacture Industrial Machine in a Batch Size of 10 nos . These machines have multi level BOM and total manufacturing cycle time is approx 3 months .
    We request you to kindly suggest us about the best manufacturing practices related process we should follow to address this scenario .
    At present , we have been manufacturing these Machines on individual basis ( It means MRP run is done for individual machne and production orders generated are also on individual machine manufacturing basis) .
    We would be highly greatful for the suggested solution pl .
    Rgds
    Sonia Agarwala

    Dear ,
    Please use the following functionality in your case :
    1.If you are particualr to have 10 pc in each batch qty then keep the Lot Size as Fixed Lot Sixe -FX with Fixed lot size qty as 10 in material master MRP1 view .
    2.As your approximate manufacturing cycle is 3 motnhs , then you can have MRP run once three months for FG   and plan your dependent accordingly through MRP .
    3.If you are following MTS cycle , then create demand in MD61 or you can create direct Sales Order in VA01 for MTO process
    4.Run MRP with NETCH ,1,1.3,3,2 , planned order with FG qty 10 pc will be generated  and you can convert them into Production Order in MD04-Planned order-convert to PO

  • Is there any way to add dynamic parameter in sql without breaking Server Behavior

    Hello, i'm building multiple language site.. i would like to know if there is possible way to add dynamic parameter in my query, without break the server behavior.
    For example:
    mysql_select_db($database_dxc_conn, $dxc_conn);
    $query_Recordset1 = "SELECT article.articleName, article.articleDesc FROM article";
    $Recordset1 = mysql_query($query_Recordset1, $dxc_conn) or die(mysql_error());
    $row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1);
    $totalRows_Recordset1 = mysql_num_rows($Recordset1);
    will become something like this:
    $additionalSQL=", article.articleName_en";
    mysql_select_db($database_dxc_conn, $dxc_conn);
    $query_Recordset1 = "SELECT article.articleName, article.articleDesc $additionalSQL FROM article";
    $Recordset1 = mysql_query($query_Recordset1, $dxc_conn) or die(mysql_error());
    $row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1);
    $totalRows_Recordset1 = mysql_num_rows($Recordset1);
    this is just an example, my real scenarion is far more complicated than this... however this kind of approach break the server behavior and force to do hand-coding...
    i would like to know if there's better way to do such thing like this...

    Server behaviors are simply bits of boilerplate code automatically generated by Dreamweaver. Editing the code doesn't "break" it (unless your edits are badly written). However, once you edit the code, Dreamweaver no longer recognizes it, so you lose the ability to drag recordset results from the Bindings panel.
    If you want to edit server behavior code, the best way to handle it is to lay out your page as you want, using the Bindings panel. Once everything has been done, only then edit the server behavior code.

  • How can we use C# to read dynamic parameter's value list from .rpt?

    I'm using Cystal Report 2008. We know starting from CR XI we can create dynamic parameters, the list of items of this kind of parameter are fetching from database. So in general the SQLs to get the list of values for dynamic parameters are stored in the .rpt.
    In Crystal Report Designer, if I preview a report with dynamic parameters, it will first query the database and then show the input dialog with list of values from database for user to choose. My question is can we implement the same thing by our C# code? I'm planning to use C# code to read this dynamic parameter's value list from .rpt and render them on the web page. Then pass back the user selected values to the .rpt to run the report after user make the choice. I didn't find any APIs can do this. Is it possible?
    Thanks in advance!!

    Hi,
    Can you explain a bit in detail, I have similar scenario. I am using the following code but not getting the Column name for dynamic parameter list.
    foreach (ParameterFieldDefinition prm
                              in reportDocument.DataDefinition.ParameterFields)
                    try
                        string vParameterFieldName;

  • Can I modify the data type of a dynamic parameter?

    I am using CR2008 against an Oracle 11 db and have a report with dynamic parameters.
    One of the report sources is a custom view that selects all of the possible 'pay ending dates' where one of the fields from this view is used as the source for the dynamic parameter.
    The view performs a TRUNC on the date field in an effort to eliminate the TIME component.
    The problem is that the parameter definintion defaults to DATE/TIME (vs. just DATE). I'm wondering if there is any way to modify the data type of the parameter to be DATE only.
    I've searched several forumns but have not found anything.
    One solution I can think of is to have the custom view format the date field as a VARCHAR (sans the time component) which I assume would force the dynamic parameter data type to string, and then have the report perform a todate function on the value when applying the criteria.
    Anyone else have an idea? Just seems like CR should allow the developer to specify the data type- especially b/w Date and Date/Time, rather than make an assumption.
    Thank you in advance-
    emaher

    emaher,
    Here's what you can do:
    Leave the existing date column as it is in the view...
    Just add another column to the view that casts the the date as a VarChar data type and formats the date as you would like it to be.
    So now you'll have 2 date columns in the view... 1 that's still a date and another that a character string.
    Now for your parameter, use the date version as the parameter value and the text version as the parameter description.
    Be sure to set the "Prompt with description only" is set to true.
    This way the user sees the LoV in the desired format but there's not need to wrangle it back into a date for data selection.
    HTH,

  • What is the maximum number of records in a dynamic parameter list of values?

    In Crystal Reports Developer, I am attempting to add a dynamic parameter from a view.  The view has 6773 total records.  The field used for the parameter has 1819 distinct values, none of which are null.
    I have the parameter set to allow multiple values, and I have added
    field is equal to parameter
    in the select expert.
    However, when I refresh the report and tell it to prompt for new parameters, the list of values does not contain all the values, so about half of the records are dropped.
    Is there a way I can guarantee that all 1819 (or an unlimited number) records show up in the List of Values?
