Parameter weirdness: Report not using user selected parameter value

I am writing my first report and cannot for the life of me figure out how to deal with this issue.
When I call a report and pass the parameters in, it appears that the user cannot then change the parameter values and run the report again even though the parameters are displayed. When user hits run report, the values revert to what was passed in by original
call.
Scenario
Report B has Parameter Period : Month, Quarter, Year displayed in a drop down list.
Report A calls Report B and passes it the parameter: Quarter.
Report B loads. User now changes parameter to Year via the drop down parameter list and hits Run Report.
Instead of loading the report with user selected value (Year), it reverts back to the parameter it was called with, Quarter.
I have tried changing the refresh option on the parameter to always, but no joy.
The only way that seems to work is to put textboxes on the report to change the parameter.
How can I stop this behaviour, and use the users new selection.
This should be really straight forward, and its driving me nuts that its not allowing the user to change the parameters
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks Jon

Hi Jon,
Did you use SSRS 2012? Based on my test, the issue is occurred in SSRS 2012 Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS). When we deploy the report to report server, it will disappear.
In this situation, we can add another duplicate parameter to work around this issue. Please add two parameters in the report, and then hide one of the parameter. We can pass the parameter value to the hide parameter. If we want to select other values, we
can change the visible parameter values.
Alternatively, I recommend you that submit this suggestion at
https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/. If the suggestion mentioned by customers for many times, the product team may consider to add the feature in the next SQL Server version. Your feedback is valuable for us to improve our products and increase the
level of service provided.

How to capture SOAP fault when using "Do not use SOAP envelope" parameter

Hi,
we have a synchronous RFC -> XI -> Web Service scenario. The Web Service requires some custom SOAP header elements for user authorization which forced us create the entire SOAP message in a message mapping and to set the "Do not use SOAP envelope" parameter in the receiving SOAP adapter.
In order to capture the SOAP fault message from the Web Service we have created a message interface with a fault message and also created an interface mapping with a fault message mapping.
Our problem is that the fault message is not populated when we get a SOAP fault message back from the Web Service. Is this due to the fact that we have set the "Do not use SOAP envelope" parameter?
Thanks in advance!

How to know active user in Ad ? & how many days from not use user id ?

How to know active user in Ad ? & how many days from not use user id ?
Thanks & Regards, Amol . Amol Dhaygude

Hi Amol,
You can use the below command from the command prompt of DC to get all the AD users who are inactive for last
X weeks,
dsquery
user -inactive X
To extract the inactive user information to a CSV file use the below command,
dsquery user -inactive X > c:\TestFolder\InactiveUsers.csv
NOTE: The value
X represents number of weeks, for example if your requirement is to find the inactive users for last 90 days then the
X value should be 13.

Can subreports use same selection parameter(s) as main report?

Hi,
Is it possible to create subreports that use the selection selection parameter(s) as the main report.
And if so, would the user need to make their selections twice, or just once when they open the report?
Thanks, Jon

Hi
Yes you can use the same parameter for both your subreport and the main report with running the parameter just once,.
Create a parameter in your main report and link the same field(for which you have created the parameter) of subreport with this parameter.
Now when you refrresh the report, you would input the values and the subreport would also return records based on those values.
Note that this is simple when you are using same datasource and tables for both subreport and main report. Otherwise you need to have same structures for tables and data type as well for subreport and the main report.
Hope this helps!!

Bind variables are not used in select statement

Hello all of you,
I have two parameters in Report 6i.
1) Department
2) Section
There are many section in a single department. Both parameters are selected from list. The list for department name is as follows -
select deptname from department_master order by deptname
It works very well. The value is stored in :p_dept_name.
I want to display section of selected department only using following code :-
select sectname from section_master a, department_master b where a.deptcode = b.deptcode and b.deptname = :p_dept_name
The value is stored in :p_sect_name.
But it does not work. bind variables are not allowed in select statement, then how can I do this???
Please suggest me.
Thanx,
Regards,

Vikas,
the forum is full of threads about that.
Dependent Parameters in Reports are possible out-of-the-box in Reports.
If you're running your report on the web, have a look at Metalink Note:185951.1

Z-reports not used...

Hi,
I am involved in a SAP R3 4.6C server where there are 900 custom Z reports. Is there a way by which one can know which Z report is mostly used and the reports that are not used by users.
The idea is to identify if the reports are needed and cleanse the system of unused Z-reports.

Anirban.

Hi
U can try to use the statistic trx like STAT or ST03: but here u can find out only the data for the last period: it's the last week or the last month, anyway it can't find out the data for whole life of the system, but the stored period is usually not very long.
So if u need to make sure u would analyze the data for a long period, and so run the statistic trx periodically.

Crystal Report not Adopting all possible Dropdown Values from BEx Variable

Hi all,
I am having an issue in a Crystal report where the drop down parameter that is sourced from a BEx query variable does not include all the possible values in the cube (or in master data). After learning my lesson the first time of not changing the name of the variable or changing it to dynamic (this causes it to break), I had the understanding that the value list may not be complete when running the report in the Crystal client or in the viewer, however, I thought it should be correct when published to the BOE and run in infoview. I am getting the same incomplete list in infoview. I published the report into infoview using the Crystal 2008 desktop client, not the /CRYSTAL/RPTADMIN transaction.
I know there are a couple ways of sourcing a Crystal report from a BW query - using MDX vs. not, etc. I created this report using the SAP menu > "Create new report from a query". I don't believe Crystal will easily let you use that menu option to create a report off two BW queries joined together (which is what I am doing), so I built it off one originally (using the SAP menu), then added the other later on. I have the checkbox for "Use MDX driver with support for Multiple structures" checked. In database expert, my "Selected Tables" both are of database type "SAP BW Query".
Do I have the right understanding of how the value list should work when sourced from a BEx variable? If so, can anyone offer any suggestions for getting the value list populated correctly?
Here's some info:
Crystal version: CR2008, version 12.2.4.507
BOE version 3.1
SAP BW 7.01 EhP 6
Thanks,
Chad

Hi,
- in the Crystal Reports designer the list of values is not online and there is a maximum number of values - configured by a registry setting:
(windows 7)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Business Objects\Suite 12.0\SAP\BWQueryReportWrapper
Key: MaxPickListSize
and correct you can not change the name of the variable or set it to dynamic as the definition is based on the BEx query.
I know there are a couple ways of sourcing a Crystal report from a BW query - using MDX vs. not, etc. I created this report using the SAP menu > "Create new report from a query".

I have the checkbox for "Use MDX driver with support for Multiple structures" checked. In database expert, my "Selected Tables" both are of database type "SAP BW Query".
The checkbox on the Multi Structure is not for the option to combine 2 Bex queries - it is for Bex queries with 2 structures and the BW query driver has been deprecated already and you have to use the MDX Driver.
Do I have the right understanding of how the value list should work when sourced from a BEx variable? If so, can anyone offer any suggestions for getting the value list populated correctly?
in Crystal Reports Designer the list is static and when you publish the report using the BW Publishing to your SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise system the list becomes dynamic in InfoView.

Which formula(a) do I use to select any value that is than 0 but 7 out of a range of cells and sum them.

I'm working on a sheet that I want to use to select a specific part based on values created by the sum of values in other cells. I am down to the point where I need to select a low range of numbers
If the sum of cell D5 equals any sum between 1-15 will equal = part 1
If the sum of cell D5 equals any sum between 16-23 will equal = part 2 ,
If the sum of cell D5 equal antsy sum between 24-32 will equal part 3.
I'm at a loss how to make one formula or combination of formulas do this.
Thanks in advance.
Big Al Hur

Hi Al,
The confusion arises from your having asked two separate questions, one in the subject line, the other in the body of your initial post.
1.
How do I sum only the values greater than zero and less than 7 in a range of cells?
This formula supplied by SGIII does what you have asked there:
=SUMIFS(A,A,">0",A,"<7")
The syntax is:
SUMIFS(sum-values, test-values, condition, test-values, condition…)
sum-values ( A ) is the range of cells containing the values to be summed (all the body cells in column A)
test-values and condition come in pairs. the first names the range of values to be tested, the second names the condition that must be met.
In this formula, the test-values in each pair are the same as the sum values.
condition ( ">0" ) is the first condition that must be met by these values. (greater than zero)
the second condition ( "<7" ) is the second condition that must be met (less than seven)
To be included in the sum, a value in the list must meet both conditions: It must be greater than 0 AND less than 7. IN SG's example, there are two values that meet both conditions, 2 in A2 and 6 in A5, that meet both conditions. Their sum, 8, is shown in A10, whch is the cell containing the formula.
2
If the sum of cell D5 equals any sum between 1-15 will equal = part 1
If the sum of cell D5 equals any sum between 16-23 will equal = part 2 ,
If the sum of cell D5 equals any sum between 24-32 will equal part 3.
This formula supplied by SGIII, and the Lookup table that goes with it, does what you have asked here.
=VLOOKUP(D5,Lookup::A:B,2,close-match)
Close-match means 'the largest value that is less than or equal to' the search-value.
The search-value is the value in D5
VLOOKUP searches in the leftmost column (A) of the lookup table (columns A and B of the table named Lookup).
With "close-match" specified:
any value that is equal to or greater than 0 and less than 16 will be matched by the 0 in A2. VLOOKUP will return the value in the same row of column 2 (B) of the table: "Part 1"
any value that is equal to or greater than 16 and less than 24 will be matched by the 16 in A3. VLOOKUP will return the value in the same row of column 2 (B) of the table: "Part 2"
any value that is equal to or greater than 24 will be matched by the 24 in A4. VLOOKUP will return the value in the same row of column 2 (B) of the table: "Part 3"
While this is not an exact match with your description above, it will perform exactly as you requested IF the value in D5 is never less than 1 and never greater than 32.
If the possible range is greater than that, I would suggest the changes shown below to the formula and to the lookup table. The column containing numbers is column D, and represents values in D5. Column E shows the result for each value using the given formula and lookup table (LU A). Column F shows results for the same values using the revised formula and lookup tble (LU B):
Original =VLOOKUP(D,LU A :: A:B,2,1)
Revised formula: =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(D,LU B :: A:B,2,1),"N//A")
In the revision, IFERROR takes care of the negative values in D2 and D3. The zero value in D4 and in the last row of column D and the overflow values (greater than 32) are handled by the revisions to the lookup table.
Regards,
Barry

Parameter issue - report not generating any pdf files

Hi All,
I'm trying to run a report which generates pdf files. Is there any limitation on the parameter string size? For one of the parameter values - '11F EA Accept nonhonor ASnSOMnSON_20091201090150846' the report is not generating any pdf files. I assumed the reason is of the keyword 'AS' in it and created another parameter value - '11F EA Accept nonhonor AnS-SOM-SON_20091202074331997', but it is also not generating any pdf files. I get this message from Adobe Reader " There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be opened because it has no pages. " The report is working normally when i hardcode the same parameter values into the logic. Any suggestions on this?
Thanks.

Tim,
That report is working normally for all the parameter values, except this one. It is not working only if i pass the value - ''11F EA Accept nonhonor ASnSOMnSON_20091201090150846' as a parameter. It is generating the pdf files when i hardcode the same value into sql query logic in the data template, instead of passing it as a parameter. Please advise.
Thanks.

Report not getting the correct parameter

Hi,
I use Oracle 9i DS (patch 9.0.2.2). i pass the RDF name and the params on the command line to the rwclient.exe to run the report. Whenever I pass something like VVG='(1,2,3,4)', the report RDF gets the value as '1'. The report gets executed with this value. i have searched the net and help sites and files. please help me in solving my problem.

Hello Anurag,
I am able to successfully pass the string '(1,2,3,4)' as the value of a text parameter in my report, using the following commandline on Windows 2000:
rwclient report=test.rdf destype=file desformat=pdf desname=test.pdf server=srivas testparam=(1,2,3,4)
Reports correctly interprets the parameter as it has been specified, even if quoted with single/double quotes. Please provide more information on the problem you are facing, and the platform you are running Reports on. Also, verify whether your problem is reproducing with the Reports Runtime (rwrun) also.
Thanks,
