Rep_util/cascade parameters demo loses desformat when report is generated

I have reports developer and OAS 10.1.2.2 installed. I built the report as instructed in MetaLink article 185951.1 and it works properly, except that it appears to force the desformat to html, when I have specified htmlcss on the command line.
Normal reports display in htmlcss format from a similar command line.
I can provide screenshots and RDF source for anyone who is familiar with the rep_util library functions or the cascade parameters example.
This is a capability our customers frequently ask for, but as it stands, it would have little value.
My command line is this URL put into the address line of my browser (IE6 on XP SP2):
http://myserver.domain/reports/rwservlet?report=cs_demo.rep+destype=cache+desformat=htmlcss+userid=ops$user/pwd@SID+paramform=yes
It does the same thing when I launch it from Forms.

I figured out the problem. In the article the after parameter form example code does more than set the 3 cascade parameters properly. It adds all this HTML stuff that will ultimately be set in the before report context. I deleted all of that code and then it works.
I suspect that in 10gR2 with all the updates to the Reports dealing with being HTML 4.0.1 spec compliant has made this unnecessary.
Too bad this is "unsupported". I suppose I can file a SR to have them fix the article. Would appreciate replies on this thread.

Cascading Parameters prompting twice when scheduling report on CMC

Hi all,
I am having some difficulty with the Central Management Console (CMC) when scheduling a report I created.
The report contains one sub-report with a stored procedure to generate the data. This stored procedure has 5 parameters including region and city. In the main report I implemented cascading parameters for region and city and passed their values to the parameters of the stored procedure for the sub-report. All of this works fine within Crystal Reports when I run the report and even when I use the "View" option in CMC. However when I use the "Schedule" option in CMC to schedule the report and I am setting the parameters for the report, there is some odd behavior. The first parameter shows two values, one for region and one for city (this is fine). The next parameter is a string variable. When I try to set this parameter, I am prompted again with the cascading parameters for the region and city. This messes up all the parameters and if I continue to set the other parameters, I am prompted to give a value for the previous parameter.
Why am I being prompted twice to enter a value for the cascading parameters? How can I fix this?
Thanks in advance for your help.
P.S. I thought about using the cascading parameters as filters in the Crystal Report itself but this causes the report to be slow as a lot of data is brought back from the stored procedure before filtering.
P.P.S. I am using Crystal Reports 2008

Hi Jevon,
What version of BO (Service Pack, Patch) are you using?
Try upgrading the version to a higher Service Pack/Patch on a Test environment to see if that resolves the issue.

Avoid report refresh when updating cascade parameters

I have a report with 3 cascade parameters. The first parameter, region, is independent. The second parameter, zone, depends on region. The third parameter, store, depends both on region and zone. These are multi value parameters. The report is
viewed directly in the "/reports" URL, so there are no custom applications that can modify it.
I have a data set for each parameter and obviously use parameters to limit the results of the second and third paramters. My user doesn't want the page to refresh after you set the first and second parameter. I'm not sure that's possible because it's a native
reporting services action.
I've tried to bring all the results in second and third datasets and use filters based in the previous parameter, but the lists go blank even though the "Always refresh" property of the parameter is selected.
Is there a NATIVE way to avoid the page from refreshing?

Hi Dany,
According to your description, you want avoid the second parameter and third parameter to be refresh after change the value on the first parameter, right? In Reporting Services, the report will reload after the parameters value were changed no matter the parameter
is a cascading parameter or not. This is default setting, so as Martina said, your requirement cannot be achieved currently.
Besides, if you have any concerns about this feature, you can submit a feedback at http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/Feedback and hope it is resolved in the next release of service pack or product.
Thank you for your understanding.

I frequently lose audio when in the middle of a call. I am not certain whether it is a full disconnect or just an audio loss. The person on the other end reports still being able to hear me, however, I suppose they could hear me speaking over another source even if bluetooth disconnected. The loss of audio is always preceded by a quick shrill noise, so I can easily tell when it happens. All I have to do to fix the problem is to select Audio Source on the call screen, temporarily switch audio back to the iPhone, and then switch back to the headset, and then it starts working again.
My Iphone5 was replaced and having same Problem. Only does this when using bluetooth for talking.

I have the exact same issue... I've been using a Jabra Extreme2 and just this weekend, bought a Plantronics Marque2 and today had the same issue, so it's clearly not the headset but the phone or OS.
I might try a restore and see if it helps...

Default values for static report parameters are not visible when scheduling

Hello
Crystal Reports 2008 Dev
Crystal Reports Server 2008
When I publish a report to the repository and then try to schedule that report, the default value that I have set for a static parameter in the report is not visible.
In the Parameters section of the Scheduling wizard this parameter is marked as [EMPTY]
However, when I View the report (right click and select View) from within Infoview, the parameter default value is visible
I have published in the following 3 ways:
Publishing Wizard
File > Save As > Enterprise from withing Crystal Reports Dev
CMC > Folders > Add > Crystal Reports
The results are the same for each method of publishing.
To try to eliminate any DB issues etc i have created a report that is not attached to a datasource.
This test report has one Static parameter.
I have set 3 values for its list: Entry A, Entry B, Entry C
Entry X is set as the parameter Default Value
The parameter is placed in the details section of the report
When the report is Viewed it will prompt for parameter entry, with the default value present
When I try to schedule the report is will not have an entry for its parameter
It seems to me that the default values for parameters should be retained from report design through to report schedule, especially when the default values are retained from report design to report View
Is this a config problem that i have ?
Can anyone help me with this ?
Best regards

Hi Robert
Thanks for the reply and apologies for not responding sooner.
What i have found is that if i use Publishing Wizard to upload reports it is then possible to set values for prompts during the last step of this process.
Although this is a bit clumsy, it is sufficient for now
Best regards

Dynamic Cascading Parameters - cannot select/enter parameter value

I am rather new working with Crystal Reports and am having problems with Dynamic Cascading Parameters.
I am using CR 2008 SP2, Version 12.2.0.290. Data is from SQL server.
I have a report to print labels for parts in an order. I want to be able to enter the ShipTo ID then the contract number. From there I would like a list of the parts on the contract and be able to select multiple parts to print labels for.
I right clicked on Parameter Fields and chose New. I named it ShipToContractPartNo, Type String, List of Values=Dynamic.
I added the values as follows:
ShipToID - Editable, Allow Multiple=False, Allow Discrete=True (cannot be changed), Allow Range=False
...ContractNo - Allow Multiple=False, Allow Discrete=True (cannot be changed), Allow Range=False
... ...CustPartNo - Allow Multiple=True Allow Discrete=True (cannot be changed), Allow Range=False
I added the Customer Part parameter to the label.
When I test the label the parameter Enter Values window looks good but the drop down for Enter ShipToID does not have any ShipTo ID's to choose from and I cannot enter a value, therefore I cannot continue. I also do not have a Cancel button and always have to end through Task Manager but that's probably a different, unrelated issue.
I have tried this with and without entering Select Expert records.
Could someone please tell me if I have missed a step or if there is a known issue? I searched this site, I looked in CR Help, I referred to the book I have and I googled but have not found this speciic issue.
Thanks in advance for your assistance. Let me know if additional information is necessary.
Jan

OK. I have rejoined/relinked all my tablesas follows (with abbreviated names for ease of reading). The actual SQL is at the end.
..Job_Hdr JOINED to Job_Shipto
.....Job_Shipto JOINED to Job_Line
........Job_Line JOINED to Job_Bin
............Job_Line JOINED to Inv_Mast
When I create a Dynamic Cascading Parameter prompt on just ContractNo (parent - from table Job_Hdr) and ShipTo (child - from table Job_ShipTo) then it gives me list of Contracts to select from and then a list of ShipTo's for that Contract to select from. I place them in the Report Header. I do not add them to the Select Expert. This works great.
Now I need to be able to select the parts necessary from the Contract/ShipTo. When I try to create a Dynamic Cascading Parameter with ContractNo and ShipTo (set up the same as above) and add in ContractPartNumber (from table Job_Bin) to the parameter then my ContractNo and ShipTo parameters no longer work. It gives me only 1 contract number to choose from, which isn't the one I want.
I have tried so many different things and I cannot get the parameters to work when I try to add PartNo into the parameters.
Any suggestions now?

Cascaded Parameters

Hi experts,
1st parameter : 0 or 1, 2nd parameter : date range selection
If 1st parameter = 0 then no show 2nd parameter selection,
If 1st parameter = 1 then show 2nd parameter selection.
Is it possible?
Thanks,
David
Edited by: david.hd.park on Jul 18, 2011 6:07 PM

Nope... that's not what cascading parameters were designed for. The 1st parameter values merely filter the available choices in the 2nd. It's doesn't toggle visibility or make the parameter optional or not optional.
You can, however, use two separate parameters and use the 1st to either use or ignore the 2nd. For example
Parameter 1 = "Select ALL dates or filter dates (0 = select all, 1 = filter)
Parameter 2 = Date ranges
I assume you're still working on the same report from your previous post and that you need to pass the parameter values to to a command.
So here is what it could look like in the main data set command...
SELECT
Select List
FROM TableName
WHERE DateColumn >= CASE WHEN {?Param1} = 0 THEN DateColumn ELSE {?BeginDateParameter} END
AND DateColumn <= CASE WHEN {?Param1} = 0 THEN DateColumn ELSE {?EndDateParameter} END
No... this won't keep it from being visible to the user... but it works.

How to handle the OK button of the parameters prompt of a crystal report

Hi,
how to handle the OK button of the parameters prompt of a crystal report in vba.NET?
I want to use the parameter prompt from the crystal report itself and I want to know when the report is ready. I need to export programatically by sending email to a list of employees after the parameters has been set. The emails I send depends on the results of the report.
Im using a CrystalReportViewer control in VS2010 and Crystal Report for VS2010 v13.0.1.220.

Right. But the parameter screen is driven by the viewer. Unless you create your own parameter screen and pass the parameters to the report via code.
Another thing I am not sure about:
"Then by code I want to read all the employees id from the report and send email to them with specified pages of the report. (1 page per employee)"
How do you plan on reading the employee ID from the report? I am not aware of any API that will read a value in a report so that you can then decide what page to send to whom.
I think you're approaching this kinda backwards. A question to ask is; can you do what you are trying to do in code in the CR designer? If not, using APIs will not work either. I suspect your approach should be a report that uses an employee filter. Run the report for employee x, get the report populated with the data for that employee and email it. Repeat for employee x1, employee x2, etc.

Apex 3.2 hook javascripts to IR and execute those when report is refreshed

Hi,
You propably have see tricks to attache javascript to IR refresh using time out and gReport.l_LastFunction e.g. these.
http://roelhartman.blogspot.com/2010/04/alternative-to-alternating-row-colors.html
http://www.talkapex.com/2009/03/column-groups-in-apex-interactive.html
Here is alternative solution:
You need load jQuery 1.4.2 e.g. in page template header
Create page zero if your application do not have one. Then create HTML region before footer with no template.
Place code to region source
<script type="text/javascript">
;(function($){
$.htmldbIrBusyGrap=$.fn.htmldbIrBusyGrap=function(){
/* for bind IR ajax */
/* check do we have IR on page */
if($('#apexir_WORKSHEET_REGION').length>0){
/* replace apex internal function _BusyGraphic */
gReport._BusyGraphic=function(pState){
   if(pState==1){
    /* ir ajax start trigger htmldbIrAjaxStart event and show loading icon */
    $.event.trigger('htmldbIrAjaxStart');
    $('#apexir_LOADER').show();
   }else{
    /* check is there data stored to #apexir_WORKSHEET */
    if(!$('#apexir_WORKSHEET').data('htmldb')){
      /* store data to #apexir_WORKSHEET */
      $('#apexir_WORKSHEET').data('htmldb',{irReady:true});
      /* trigger htmldbIrReady event */
      $.event.trigger('htmldbIrReady');
     /* hide loading icon and trigger htmldbIrAjaxEnd*/
     $('#apexir_LOADER').hide();
    $.event.trigger('htmldbIrAjaxEnd');
   return;
$.event.trigger('htmldbIrReady');
$.htmldbIrReady=$.fn.htmldbIrReady=function(fn){
$(function(){
if($.isFunction(fn)&&$('#apexir_WORKSHEET_REGION').length>0){
   $('#apexir_WORKSHEET_REGION').bind('htmldbIrReady',fn);
})(jQuery);
addLoadEvent(function(){$.htmldbIrBusyGrap();});
</script>Now your IR will trigger htmldbIrReady event when report is refreshed.
Usage example
<script>
$(function(){$('#foo').bind('htmldbIrReady',function(){alert('Hello');});});
</script>Also it trigger htmldbIrAjaxStart and htmldbIrAjaxEnd events.
Usage example
<script>
$(function(){$('#foo').bind('htmldbIrAjaxStart',function(){alert('Ajax start');});});
$(function(){$('#foo').bind('htmldbIrAjaxEnd',function(){alert('Ajax end');});});
</script>Or use function $.htmldbIrReady example
<script>
$(function(){$.htmldbIrReady(function(){alert('Hello');});});
</script>Small demo that logs those events here
http://actionet.homelinux.net/htmldb/f?p=100:87
Hope this helps and you post other innovative solutions or usage examples about this

I recently upgraded from an iPhone 4s to an iPhone 5. I have a Motorola HX550 Bluetooth Headset which worked flawlessly with the iPhone 4s. However, since upgrading to the iPhone 5, I frequently lose audio when in the middle of a call. I am not certain whether it is a full disconnect or just an audio loss. The person on the other end reports still being able to hear me, however, I suppose they could hear me speaking over another source even if bluetooth disconnected. The loss of audio is always preceded by a quick shrill noise, so I can easily tell when it happens. All I have to do to fix the problem is to select Audio Source on the call screen, temporarily switch audio back to the iPhone, and then switch back to the headset, and then it starts working again.
Is is important to note that I am not the only one experiencing this issue:
This is a link to someone using the Motorola H19txt headset experiencing the same issue
https://forums.motorola.com/posts/94ac15ad7c
If you go to the Plantronics website and look at the "Ratings and Reviews" on the Voyager Legend you will see the same issue reported:
http://www.plantronics.com/us/product/voyager-legend (next paragraph is taken from the review since there is no direct link to the review.
Really nice Headset unless you own an Iphone 5. I own several Plantronics headsets and have always loved the quality/ performance. This headset seems not to be compatible with the new Iphone 5. In the middle of a conversation it will lose all incoming audio. This leaves you trying to switch audio sources really fast in order not to lose your phone call. Ive tried 3 legend headsets and they all do the same thing. Hopefully this gets fixed soon because the headset is really nice
Since this issue appears to affect multiple headsets from multiple vendors, I think it is fair to conclude that it is an issue with the iPhone5 bluetooth itself.
I am posting this as a new discussion as I don't see any other posts specific to this iPhone 5 Bluetooth issue. I would have reported this as a problem to Apple, but don't seem to be able to find a way to do this on the web. Hopefully they are already aware, but if not, maybe they will see i here.

here is an interesting thing: take the iphone and set lock screen to never. Now make an email with siri--be sure to activate her with call button. get to the body and get some text in there. then just stop talking. LOCK SCREEN APPEARS!!!!!! and of course you draft is gone.
There does seem to be a work around for some--maybe all these issues. Don't use the call button--use the buttons on the phone.
Siri seems to behave properly with scenerio above---sans call button. She does not go to lock.

Report painter -output parameters,Data source,Extract parameter, report

Hi expert,
1)What report painter -output parameters,Data source,Extract parameter, report mean for and what are the difference?
2)I have create new report painter and transport to Test server using T-code:GCTR and I find that the T-code always point to old report. As I had check the SE93 the D_SREPOVARI-REPORT is point to report group.Why this happen?
3) Does creation of new report or modification of the report always need to select the extraction option so that it will able to display the relected changes? Because, I have done modification on the report but it is not reflected the changes even i save until i have to create the extraction is able to display the report but every time i run the report need to select the extraction with option to choose new extract or old. Kindly advice how to save and create the report painter and save will display reflected result .
Please help

Hi BR Christian,
Thank you for the prompt reply.
I have few querys as below:
1)Do we every time create new report by copying the existing report painter need to select output parameter, data source and extract parameter in order to be able to display the new report?
2)when modify existing report painter and save it do we need to select output parameter, data source and extract parameter in order to be able to display the modify report correctly?
3) What are the different between right click copy the report inreport painter compare with create report painter with copy GRR1?
4) What are the T-code for modify the report group?
5) When I create a new report with the right click copy in GRR1 and modify the report painter column only and everything remain the same just the report name different why when execute the report it always appear in the selection screen with report button which have option button to select the 2 version of report which one is the destination report that I copy from and one is the new report? How to set the report when execute will only display the new report only without need to select the option with just new report only?
6)For transferring reports you can use GR37 (export) and GR38 (import) can be use to transport from one client to another client? What is difference between GR37 compare with GCTR?
7) If I use GR37 and GR38 it is mean no need to create the transport request which as usual we create transport se10?
we can directly import to another client ussing GR38?
8)When we create a new report with copy with the existing report with just modify the report colunm and the report name difference only what are the setting example: report,report group need to be selected to be include to export/transport to another client?
9) What are the difference between library and report group?
10) Can we set Se93 to execute only report not report group? How?
11) when using GR37 to transport it is also include the report group,library and the particular report?
12) Can I include the variable in the column header to display fiscal year which I have selected from the selection screen?
How and which variable should i use?

My keyboard loses functionality when I try to leave comments on Facebook.
Delete, backspace, apostrophe and cut, copy and paste are disabled. This only happens in comments, no functionality is lost in messaging or status updates.
I have disabled all my add-ons and restarted Firefox and the issue persists. I have updated add-ons, restarted Firefox and the issue persists.
I have updated Firefox and that made no difference.
I have cleared cookies and cache and still no luck.
SOLUTION: I disabled the Grammarly Lite add-on and this seems to have resolved the issue.
I have informed Facebook of the issue. I cannot find any information about this problem in Facebook's troubleshooting.

Determining the parameters passed in a Discoverer Report through SQL query

Hi,
I want to know the parameters passed in a Discoverer Report through a SQL query.
i.e if we pass the Report name (Workbook Name) then we get the paramaters used .
Is there any way we can do this.
Any help will be really appreciated.
Thanx in advance
Ankur

Hi
You can indeed get the parameters from the EUL5_QPP_STATS table, although they are extremely difficult to get at.
Look at this script:
SELECT
QS.QS_DOC_OWNER    USER_NAME,

What this does is return the first 20 items used in a worksheet. It does this by passing 6 characters at a time out of a cusror made up by concatenating QS_DBMP0 to QS_DBMP7 to get the Dimensions and then again by concatenating QS_MBMP0 to QS_MBMP7 to get the Measures. Having got that cursor it then takes each 6 characters and passes them to a nibble algorithm to decode the actual item. The code is extremely difficult to follow.
I mention this because other fields in the same table are QS_JBMP0 to QS_JBMP7 which I believe are Joins, and QS_FBMP0 to QS_FBMP7 which look like Filters (aka parameters) being used. I think the QS stands for Query Statistics and BMP for bitmap. Somewhere in the EUL5.SQL script is the key to unlocking this.
Good luck. The reason I say this will become apparent when you look inside EUL5.SQL.

[Interface] - Passing variety parameters/input to PL/SQL report

Hi,
I've the PL/SQL report which can allow passing in the parameter, i use '&'.
the report is given to the end user who do not have the IDE for PL/SQL. the machanism of the report is generated into the spool file and import into excel format.
now i am wondering how to create a tool using SQL or PL/SQL to allow the end user to choose the parameter(s) dynamically and passing into the PL/SQL to generate the report based on the input selected.
the parameters like below:
package code :
week no :
year :
department :
all the above parameters, the data would be selected from the existing lookup table. the user is allow to select more than 1 input for specified parameter for instance i want to spool report for week 1 until week 5.
pls advise any solution on this topic. thanks

hi scoot,
thank for reply.
yep, i'm using sql*plus and also sql navigator 4.0 .
the user don't have the software to interact. i'm thinking of build an simple interface using VB and passing in the parameter then initiate the sql*plus to run the program in background mode.
but if you have any other solution which not need to use other software to wirte such program , pls let me know immediately. thank
