Passing dynamic parameters to an IR Report

Hello,
We have installed Hyperion BI+ 9.3.1. We are in the process of evaluating the development of IR reports which would
have a requirement to have parameters passed dynamically. For example, we'd be interested in passing a date as a parameter which then would be used by the query inside IR to filter/bring back data from the database pertinent to the date being passed.
The need for this is because once developed we want to execute the IR on a weekly basis whereby the date keeps moving forward to be then used to extract relevent data.
Any thoughts on how this can be done? Also, on a related note are there any backend command line utilities or interfaces that can be used to pass the parameter dynamically to the IR report?
Thanks in advance
Rajesh

Doug,
Thanks for the response. The delivery of the report output would be via Workspace (iHTML). I mentioned date parameter as an example. The report or reports may need to accept other paramaters as well - like department id or product. While the number of parameters and the nature of the parameters would be known ahead of time the value would need to be derived dynamically (by say reading a database table containing transactional data)
As for the command line utility, I am thinking more along the lines of say Oracle Reports which enables you to invoke a run-time command (rwcli60 for example) and pass the necessary arguments to the report.
I have seen the sample java programs that are shipped with the product (and we have used one of them called AddBqy) but haven't seen one that enables passing dynamic parameters.
I will look into the SmartCut option as recommended by you.
Any more insights/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Rajesh

Pass User Parameters between Forms and Reports...?

Hi,
I have been trying to pass user parameters from forms to reports using
RUN_REPORT_OBJECT. I am able to run the report from the form, but still don't know how to pass user_parameters. Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks,
AB

You can use SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY with the "REPORT_OTHER" parameter
The following example passes 3 parameters to the report:
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(pt_report_object_id, REPORT_OTHER, 'paramform=no p_param_1='||pc_param_1||' p_param_2='||pc_param_2);

How to query repository to determine Dynamic parameters used by a report

Using BOXI 3.1 SP3
Windows 2008
.NET
SQL 2008 Database
I would like to query the repository to figure out which report is using which a dynamic parameter and then to figure out the name of that dynamic paremeter.
The issue is the when I publish a report with Dynamic Paremeters from CR2008 to BOXI, BOXI will automatically create all the underlying connections and also rename the parameters if there is a duplicate. I have a situation where there were over 100 +reports published and thru repository explorer in CR2008, it's impossible to tell which parameter belongs to which report.
I would like to find in the repository the name of the dynamic parameters being used by the report.
If I query CI_INFOOBJECTS, it does have the prompts and the original name (SI_NAME). I don't know if it's possible thru Query Builder to query and find this result, or whether I need to write some .NET code. The only hint in CI_INFOOBJECTS that a report has dynamic parameter is thru SI_GROUP_ID = eor://HOECRS02.NA.XOM.COM:6400/AVDGc3Df_G5Ej9HoJqO3V2g
All dynamic parameters have SI_GROUP_ID populated.....but not sure how to use this unique value AVDGc3Df_G5Ej9HoJqO3V2g which appears to be a SI_CUID but not sure what to query next to get more information.
If anyone has a query built already or some code to point me in the right directiion, that would be greatly appreciated.

The best way to determine what your wattage draw is is to purchase a killawatt meter. They are relatively inexpensive (20-30 bucks).

Do we have Tool to re-point Dynamic Parameters in multiple crystal Reports

Hi Experts,
Do we have any tool to re-point Dynamic Parameters of Multiple reports in a single shot.source of crystal reports is SAP ECC tables.

Hello,
Not sure what this has to do with Database connectivity but the answer is no.
If you have access to a .NET or Java Developer you can write your own using the SDK.

Passing dynamic parameters to BEx WA queries

We would like to be able to filter data and customize BW reports by passing variables to BW queries which could be filled dynamically by user profile attributes. So, a few of questions related to BW iView:
1. How can User attribute be referenced or specified as UME variables in the query string ? Or, in other types of iViews ?
2. What is the difference in passing these as Application Parameters or Parameters Forwarded to BEx Web Application in BW iView?
3. Would it be more efficient to pass the user id or just a session data to BEx? Allowing BW to figure out the other user related parameters [for example job role, geography, etc. ] from BW user directory and apply them to the parameterized query internally on the BW server.
Thanks in advance,
Jerzy

hi,
Below format you can pass the value for bw report .
For Query report: cmd=ldoc&query=Query_name
For Template report:cmd=ldoc&template_id=Template_name
If you want pass more value, you can append with '&' symbol in the query string.

Passing dynamic parameters

Hi,
Is there any way to pass parameters dynamicaly to a Web Start application? Using jnlp->application-spec->arguments in jnlp files seems all static, unless I want to generate the jnlp file itself on the run. When I use JSP that includes Applet, I can pass session information and user inputs into the Applet by using something like this:
<OBJECT ....>
<PARAM name=USER_NAME value="<%=session.getAttribute("userName")%>">
</OBJECT>
Is there any similar machenism for Web Start?
Thanks a lot.
-Fang Lu

The normal way to do this is to dynamically generate the jnlp file. This can be done in javascript, by jsp, or by a servlet such as the JnlpDownloadServlet provided in the developers pack.

Passing dynamic parameters in hyperlinks

CA Forum: Profitability Applications
I am using the former ALG Activity Analysis/Predictive Planning application, which I gather is now known as profitability. Is there a way to use variables as query string values in hyperlinks in books? I am unable to escape out of the url string so as to provide a variable name. I would prefer hyperlinks to buttons. Here is a quick example of what I mean: [In the URL field of a hyperlink control]BookTitle&SomeVariable=' + somevariableThanks.

Hi Shakeel,
     Actually, currently no custom parameter passing is working through the iView onto the Web Dynpro application.
     The app. feature is for passing parameters automatically to the startup plug as named parameters within a Web Dynpro application. (On my version this feature does not work either.)
     Anyone else try this yet?

How to pass dynamic parameters in ODI

Hi
I am using ODI tool for EL-T, i want to understand how dynamic parametrs can be passed from an interface to another. Output of one interface should be the input for another interface. Please advice how to achieve this in ODI?

Prakasam

Hi Prakasam
You are best posting this on the ODI forum.
ODI has variables that you can read and use in an interface. To change their value within an interface I think you'd need to customize the KM and use the ODI substitution API.

Passing dynamic parameter to stored procedure from CR formula?

Dear all,
I need to insert in some textboxes the right string based on the desired Language Code.
I crated a stored procedure in my db.
CREATE PROCEDURE MY_GET_TRANSLATION
     @TextID nvarchar(8),
     @LangCode int
This parameters are used as keys to get the Trans field.
I created a workshop formula: GetTranslation
Please, can someone suggest the correct statement to call my MY_GET_TRANSLATION stored procedure passing parameters?
I would like to call the GetTranslation formula from all my textboxes, passing the specific TextID value
and visualized the right translated string.
For example:
in my TEXT1 textbox, I would like to call the GetTranslation formula passing the parameters
TextID = "T000001"
and
LangCode = 13    (Italian language)
How can pass dynamic parameters to a formula?

Dear Jason,
I'm trying to modify a SAP B1 CR marketing report.
This CR marketing document is called by SAP B1 automatically passing the Document Number and Document Type.
The report uses the right SAP B1 tables to read the information of the header and rows of the document.
The language of the document is contained in a field of the header table
{MyMarketingDocTable.LanguageID}
I created a user table named "MyTranslationTable" where I added some strings in different langiages.
For example:
TexiID            TextString              LangID
T00001          Delivery                          8
T00001          Consegna                     13       (Italian translation)
T00002          Invoice                           8
T00002          Fattura                         13       (Italian translation)
In the header of the report I'd like, for example, to visualise the string "Consegna" if my document is a delivery in italian language.
I'd like to implement this method to translate all the textboxes (header, comments, etc.) based on the languageID of my document.
For each textboxes, in the CR designer statically I know what TextID I want to visualized but dinamically I need to pass to my stored procedure the right language. I'd like my report automatically gets the language at run-time. I don't want that when I press the Print-preview button in SAP B1, the report asks to prompt the languageID.
It already read the DocNum and DocType and it already filter the SAP B1 tables basing on the DocNum and DocType of the document. In this way it reads the right row in the SAP B1 table and in this way I can read all the fields of this row (also the languageID of the actual document).

Issues passing drillthrough parameters from a multi-level tablix in SSRS 2008 R2

Hello,
I am really struggling with trying creating a drillthrough report that starts with a matrix (tablix) and passing those parameters. I am using SSRS 2008 R2.
Here's my scenario:
I have a matrix that has mulitple levels where you can drill down. Here an example with all the levels open:
Active
Term
Leave
Total
128
88
121
United States
110
80
85
New York
65
30
57
Manhattan
10
6
9
Buffalo
20
23
4
Albany
35
1
44
Texas
45
50
28
Dallas
40
30
22
Houston

France
18

Centre
18
8
36
Blois
7
2
8
Druex
6
1
15
Tours
5
5
13
I want to drillthrough to another report - Detail Report. As I understand it, I would click the 65 for New York and I would see the detail for the 65 Active people. If I click the 2 under Blois, I would see the 2 terminated people in Blois. My understanding
for this to work, the Detail Report would need a a parameter for each of the level possibilities in the matrix that I could click: Country, State, City as well as the Status (Active, Term, Leave).
While I understand about passing parameters, what I don't understand is how to pass the parameters if they are blank. Let's say I clicked 65 for New York, I would need to pass State = New York Status = Active. But the remaining parameters (Country
and City would be null). I know Country doesn't need to be Null in this case.
My Detail Report has the parameters defaulted to Null, but whether I put the parameters in a Filter for the dataset or in the query itself, I cannot get it to ignore the Nulls.
As a crazy work-around (I think) I can put in the Where of the query something along the lines of: this:
and (a.Country in (@paramCountryCode) or NULL in (@paramCountryCode) )
and I would need to do that for each parameter. Usually I have to use 'ALL' instead of NULL, I'm note sure why.
Additionally, in the Report Action of the Main Report, I need to pass those parameters for each level and their Status. I am also not clear whether or not I need to put in all the parameters on each of the levels (Country, State, City) of the matrix. And if
I do, do I need to make the expressions an IIF statement stating whether or not they are In Scope?
All the examples I was able to find, only showed one or maybe two parameters being passed. Doing the way I am trying, seems convoluted, error-prone and tedious. I really hope that I am wrong.
Is there a better way to approach drilltrough reports from a matrix when there are multiple levels?
Thank you for the help.
~J

Hi Jenna_Fire,
According to your description, you have a matrix contains total for each group on each level. Now your requirement is, when you click on any number (data field or total), it will go to the detail report which returns all the detail information of the people
within the group scope. For example, if you click on the total of Active users in United States, it will return the detail information of Active users in New York and Texas. Right?
In this scenario, we should set the parameter (@Country, @State, @City) allow multiple values in both main and detail report. And in Default Value (@Country, @State, @City), query out all distinct values. In the textbox which contains
those total values, when set use these parameters to run the report, we only need to pass the parameters of parent groups. For example, if we click on the total of Active users in New York, we only need to pass Country, State, Status to detail report, and
in the detail report, the City parameter will use all distinct values (Default Values) because we don't pass the City parameter. We have tested this case with sample data in our local environment. Here are steps and screenshots for your reference:
1. Create parameter Country, State, City and Status in both main report and detail report. Set both Available Value and Default Value get values from query (Create a dataset for each parameter, use "select distinct [column] from [table]" as query). Set allow
multiple values for parameter Country, State and City in both reports.
2. In corresponding textbox, pass appropriate parameters in go to report Action.
4. Filter data in detail report (in where clause or using filters).
5. Save and preview. It looks like below:

If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

How to have dynamic parameters with nonstandard taglib with JSTL

Hello, I am using webwork 2.2.7, tomcat 4.1 (I have a java 1.4 requirement unfortunately), and jakarta-taglibs-standard-1.0.6 and some nonstandard taglibs and need to pass dynamic parameters to the nonstandard taglibs.
I can see that the standard taglibs handle the ${foo} syntax for attributes but the nonstandard taglib is just getting set with "${foo}". I really need to set attributes of the nonstandard taglib with dynamic parameters. Is there some combination of c:set and the <%= syntax that can work?
I have tried the following which does not work:
<input:selectBox options="${accounts}"/> 
I was thinking something like the following might work but it doesn't
<c:set var="accounts" value="${accounts}"/> 
<input:selectBox options="<%=accounts=%>"/>
I don't care how but I need to somehow access ${accounts} and set that Collection as an attribute of the taglib. Can anyone please help me solve this problem? Thank you very much.

Will Dynamic Parameters remain connect if source system rebuild.

Hi Experts,
Will dynamic parameters remain connected if the source SAP system is formatted and rebuild.
Our Scenario
Now we pointed our Crystal Reports to SAP Ecc Tables.
SAP Systems : A
Client : 10;
IP : 192.xxx.xx.xx
Now the SAP Source system is formatting and going to rebuild with Production COPY.
but the system information (IP,SYS NO, Client No) will remain same .
My Question is : Do we need to re-point Dynamic parameters in the Crystal reports again? or connection remain.
Thanks,
BharathU

Hi Frischer,
If the copy is the exact same, meaning the query id, as well as the properties of the query are exactly the same, then it would work, as far as I know.
Even the prompts have id's and measures and dimensions too. If those are not the same, then I believe that you would need to remapp.
I hope this is a very helpful answer to you.
Kind regards,
John
