Pass the results from a selection formula to the default values for a parameter field

Crystal 10 u2013 SQL 2000
I want to create a parameter field that will display all of our IT Departments so the end user can select the one they want to run the report against, such as IT-Security, IT-Network, etc. about 40 in all. BUT I donu2019t want this to be a static list where I type in all 40 depts in the default list, I was hoping I could do something more dynamic such a formula field that says u201C if {group.name startswith u2018ITu2019 then {group.name}u201D and then have the parameter field pull from this source.
Iu2019m sure this has been answered in a previous post but Iu2019m not finding it. I see stuff on creating a record selection formula such as u2018if {?group} like u2018IT-Secur*u2019 thenu2026u201D but this leaves too much room for error if people donu2019t type the name correctly. Maybe Iu2019m not using the record selection formula correctly? Sorry if I offend anyone but I just upgraded from 8 to 10 and thought for sure this option would be in 10, perhaps built right into the parameter default value page where you can place in select criteria but NOTHING has changed.

if you are creating the parameters in the rpt file, it will only pull values you enter, or directly from the database
in the record selection you can do something like this, so if they only enter the first 2 characters it should pick up only the IT etc.
(if eft(,2)={?parameter} then true else ={?parameter})

How to make a subscription use the default value for a parameter

Hi everyone,
I need to use the CreateSubscription method and have this new subscription use a default value for certain parameter. How can I do this?

Hi Marianne,
I have to create the subscription programatically, which is different from what you mention. To further clarify my challenge:
I have three parameters in a report: date-interval (string), start-date (date), end-date (date). If the user selects for example "last week" as the date-interval, the DEFAULT values for the other two are as follows:
Code Snippet
start-date=DateSerial(Year(Today),Month(Today),Day(Today)-Weekday(Today)-6)
end-date=DateSerial(Year(Today),Month(Today),Day(Today)-Weekday(Today)-1)
The user can then select intervals like "today", "yestarday", "this month" etc, and the other two parameters are calculated based on that date-interval parameter. Now, If I programatically create a subscription to a report that contains these three parameters and set a value of "last week" for the date-interval parameter, the subscription stores the fixed days (say september 10 to september 16) producing a report of the same week every time the subscription is run and not updating the correct interval to LAST-WEEK!. What should I put as the value for start-date and end-date when I create the subscription to have these two params get the DEFAULT calculated value based on the third param date-interval?
Hope to have been more clear now.

I need to pass null as a default value for a parameter in Before Trigger

How to hide PNP selection windows and set default values for PNP.

Hi expert,
I am using HR logical database PNP, but I don't want to display selection windoes for running program on PNP, whereas I want to set default value for some selection items in the program. could you please tell me how to get those two targets?
Many Thanks,

Hi
You have mentioned 2 things.
1. Don't want selection windows for running program for PNP - this can be achieved using the HR Report category - You can get more details on HR Report Category on
HR Report Category
2. I want to set default value for some selection items - This you need to achieve in initialization event of your program.
How you can get this can be explained by INITIALIZATION (SAP Library - ABAP Programming (BC-ABA))

How to join the results from 2 webservices using BPEL?Architecture question

Hi,
I am new to BPEL. BPEL process calls two webservices, which return complex results. I need to process the results from 2 webservices using BPEL .The result will be a complex xml, join/merge of previous results.
What is the best practice to do it with BPEL?
I see three ways:
1.To do the processing (join/ merge) inside the BPEL process itself and return complex xml.
2.Develop auxiliary webservice in java. Auxiliary webservice will do the processing (join/merge). Call this webservice from BPEL process.
3.Do a plain concatenation of the two XMLs in BPEL and forward it to the frontend. Frontend then will do all the logic on its side
Thanks,
Boris

you could process the XMLs one at a time, and use XSL transformations to process the payload to a target schema.
Activity 1:
output from webservice1 -> transform 1 -> partial XML (of target schema)
Activity 2:
output from webservice2 -> transform 2 -> completed XML (of target schema)

In VB how do I pass my low and high limit results from a TestStand Step into the ResultList and how do I retrieve them from the same?

I am retrieving high and low limits from step results in VB code that looks something like this:
' (This occurs while processing a UIMsg_Trace event)
Set step = context.Sequence.GetStep(previousStepIndex, context.StepGroup)
'(etc.)
' Get step limits for results
Set oStepProperty = step.AsPropertyObject
If oStepProperty.Exists("limits", 0&) Then
dblLimitHigh = step.limits.high
dblLimitLow = step.limits.low
'(etc.)
So far, so good. I can see these results in
VB debug mode.
Immediately after this is where I try to put the limits into the results list:
'Add Limits to results
call mCurrentExecution.AddExtraResult("Step.Limits.High", "UpperLimit")
call mCurrentExecution.AddExtraResult("Step.Limits.Low", "LowerLimit")
(No apparent errors here while executing)
But in another section of code when I try to extract the limits, I get some of the results, but I do not get any limits results.
That section of code occurs while processing a UIMsg_EndExecution event and looks something like this:
(misc declarations)
'Get the size of the ResultList array
Call oResultList.GetDimensions("", 0, sDummy, sDummy, iElements, eType)
'Step through the ResultList array
For iItem = 0 To iElements - 1
Dim oResult As PropertyObject
Set oResult = oResultList.GetPropertyObject("[" & CStr(iItem) & "]", 0)
sMsg = "StepName = " & oResult.GetValString("TS.StepName", 0) & _
", Status = " & oResult.GetValString("Status", 0)
If oResult.Exists("limits", 0&) Then
Debug.Print "HighLimit: " & CStr(oResult.GetValNumber("Step.Limits.High", 0))
Debug.Print "LowLimit: " & CStr(oResult.GetValNumber("Step.Limits.Low", 0))
End If
'(handle the results)
Next iItem
I can get the step name, I can get the status, but I can't get the limits. The "if" statement above which checks for "limits" never becomes true, because, apparently the limit results never made it to the results array.
So, my question again is how can I pass the low and high limit results to the results list, and how can I retrieve the same from the results list?
Thanks,
Griff

Griff,
Hmmmm...
I use this feature all the time and it works for me. The only real
difference between the code you posted and what I do is that I don't
retrieve a property object for each TestStand object, instead I pass the
entire sequence context (of the process model) then retrieve a property
object for the entire sequence context and use the full TestStand object
path to reference sub-properties. For example, to access a step's
ResultList property called "foo" I would use the path:
"Locals.ResultList[0].TS.SequenceCall.ResultList[].Foo"
My guess is the problem has something to do with the object from which
you're retrieving the property object and/or the path used to obtain
sub-properties from the object. You should be able to break-point in the
TestStand sequence editor immediately after the test step in question
executes, then see the extra results in the step's ResultList using the
context viewer.
For example, see the attached sequence file. The first step adds the extra
result "Step.Limits" as "Limits", the second step is a Numeric Limit (which
will have the step property of "Limits") test and the third step pops up a
dialog if the Limits property is found in the Numeric Limit test's
ResultList. In the Sequence Editor, try executing with the first step
enalbled then again with the first step skipped and breakpoint on the third
step. Use the context viewer to observe where the Limits property is added.
That might help you narrow in on how to specify the property path to
retrieve the value.
If in your code, you see the extra results in the context viewer, then the
problem lies in how you're trying to retrieve the property. If the extra
results aren't there, then something is wrong in how you're specifying them,
most likely a problem with the AddExtraResult call itself.
One other thing to check... its hard to tell from the code you posted... but
make sure you're calling AddExtraResult on the correct execution object and
that you're calling AddExtraResult ~before~ executing the step you want the
result to show up for. Another programmer here made the mistake of assuming
he could call AddExtraResult ~after~ the step executed and TestStand would
"back fill" previously executed steps. Thats not the case. Also, another
mistake he made was expecting the extra results to appear for steps that did
not contain the original step properties. For example, a string comparison
step doesn't have a "Step.Limits.High" property, so if this property is
called out explicitly in AddExtraResult, then the extra result won't appear
in the string comparison's ResultList entry. Thats why you should simply
specify "Step.Limits" to AddExtraResul so the Limits container (whose
contents vary depending on the step type) will get copied to the ResultList
regardless of the step type.
I call AddExtraResult at the beginning of my process model, not in a UI
message handler, so there may be some gotcha from calling it that way. If
all else fails, try adding the AddExtraResult near the beginning of your
process model and see if the extra results appear in each step's ResultList.
Good luck,

SSRS - How to display all the results from a query and then be able to filter the data

Let's say I have a simple query that will return products name, ID, price
SELECT pname,
pID,
price
FROM products
When I display the results in SSRS the user will (without entering any parameters) see something like:
Product Name | ID | Price
xyz 1 $10.00
.zzz 10 $4,000.00
How can I filter my results once they are displayed? For instance, Out of the results the user wants to see only the products where price is between $10 and $3000?
-Alan

Hi Visahk,
Maybe I did not explain my issue very good.
I want the user to first see all results (without entering the price range) - then if he wants she/he can filter the results by price.
As soon as I add
WHERE price BETWEEN @StartPrice AND @EndPrice
to my SQL query, the user is prompted to enter a price range before seeing any data.
-Alan
Ok for that what you can do is to set allow null value property for the parameters.
Then set NULL as default value for parameters in parameter properties tab
and make the query as below
WHERE price BETWEEN @StartPrice AND @EndPrice
OR (@StartPrice IS NULL AND @EndPrice IS NULL)
and then report will get executed without waiting for any prompt and user may change values at a later stage and rerun it
Please Mark This As Answer if it helps to solve the issue Visakh ---------------------------- http://visakhm.blogspot.com/ https://www.facebook.com/VmBlogs

Updating the result from Labveiw to Test stand!

Hello, I
have a quick question; i am using Labview 8.5 & Test Stand. I am
develeoping Test Scripts using Labview for the design & using them in
Teststand as PASS/FAIL tests. My question is when i run the tests in teststand
its showing that the tests what i have written in labview has been passed but
when i remove the connection to UUT & run the same its showing that tests
are passed. Actually at this time it should show that the tests are failed
since the connection to UUT is not present. But on the lab view window its showing
the proper result(that the is failed due to to bad connection) but on the test
stand window side its showing erroneous results i.e. tests are passed(i.e. the
result is not being updated from lab view to test stand window). What should I do to
update the result from lab veiw to testand . I have this problem from couple of
days.
Any help
would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi basha,
Looking at your Sequence File and the Pass / Fail Step in MainSequence.
Although you have three connections on your VI FT_Open_Device_By_Sreial_Number.vi (one input, two outputs),
within your step, you haven't connected them to any TestStand variables.
I have attached the FileGlobals.Handle to the Handle output of your VI as an example.
You need to do something similar for Device Serial Number and FT_Status.
I am not sure where this top level vi comes in, are you hoping to replace FT_Open_Device_By_Sreial_Number.vi with this top level vi.
If you are then you need to connect on input and output to its connector pane. I would suggest the boolean result is one of the ouptut
Which you connect to Step.Result.Pass/Fail

Ray

Hello Guys,
I am creating resultsource from central admin. If I create it from central admin it works fine. But if I am creating result source from power shell scripts it shows me following error message.
An exception of type 'Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Query.InternalQueryErrorException' occurred in Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.dll but was not handled in user code
Additional information: Search has encountered a problem that prevents results from being returned. If the issue persists, please contact your administrator.
Any suggestion ?
Thanks in Advance.
