Report Parameters in CUIC

Hi,
We are developing custom reports in CUIC. We are facing couple of issues:
1. One of the requriement is to present the selection parameters in a drop down. As of now, i can have value list where user can select one or multiple values from the list but i have to restrict the user to select only one value. For this, i would like to have a drop down instead of list. How do we do that?
2. When we run the report, results are coming in a grid with the report title. We also want to show the parameters values (which user has selected). But we didn't find any option to do that. Please guide.
Thanks in advance for the solution.

Hi Rakesh,
Please check inline answers:

For this, i would like to have a drop down instead of list. How do we do that?
--- Cuic designed to support multiple filter values. Currently in cuic there is no provision to restrict user for single filter value (parameter value). As per current design you can’t achieve this.
2. When we run the report, results are coming in a grid with the report title. We also want to show the parameters values (which user has selected). But we didn't find any option to do that. Please guide.
-- Every time you run the report all filter values comes as part of report footer. You can check all user selected parameter values in report footer.
Hope this will help you.
Thanks,
Vishwas

Reporting Services web service complex xml type report parameters

Hi,
I have the following xml type parameter in my request query that I use in reporting services.
<Parameter Name="accountDetails" Type="XML" xmlns:d4p1="thevalue" xmlns:i="thevalue">
<DefaultValue>
<d4p1:AccountDetailDto>
<d4p1:AccountNumber>12345</d4p1:AccountNumber>
<d4p1:AccountType>Sales</d4p1:AccountType>
</d4p1:AccountDetailDto>
</DefaultValue>
I want to know how I can assign values to the accountDetails parameter from report parameters, I've tried to call it from the dataset parameter properties but it doesn't return any values. I created Parameters!accountDetails.Value on the dataset parameters
properties and assigned it the following value: it only returns empty columns
="<AccountDetailDto><AccountNumber>"& Parameters!AccountNumber.Value &"</AccountNumber><AccountType>"& Parameters!AccountType.Value &"</AccountType></AccountDetailDto>"
You're help will be highly appreciated as I've been trying to solve this for a while now

Hi Alisa,
Perhaps I should explain my problem clearly...
This is my query request that I send to the webservice:
<Query>
<Method Name="GetPerAccountAssetAllocation" Namespace="http://tempuri.org/">
<Parameters>
<Parameter Name="accountDetails" Type="XML" xmlns:d4p1="thevalue" xmlns:i="thevalue">
<DefaultValue>
<d4p1:AccountDetailDto>
<d4p1:AccountNumber>12345</d4p1:AccountNumber>
<d4p1:AccountType>JSE</d4p1:AccountType>
</d4p1:AccountDetailDto>
</DefaultValue>
</Parameter>
</Parameters>
</Method>
<SoapAction>http://tempuri.org/IPortfolioManagementService/GetPerAccountAssetAllocation</SoapAction>
<ElementPath IgnoreNamespaces="true">*</ElementPath>
</Query>
It works well when I run it just like this, that is without specifying any parameters in the report data dialogue window or on the dataset parameters properties, it returns the values and columns correctly.
So my problem is, I need to find out how(xml parameter syntax, steps e.t.c)
I can do to allow users to specify the accountDetails parameter, its quite tricky for me coz its an xml type parameter, Im not sure if I should just specify the AccountNumber and
ReportType parameters separately:
I've tried the following without any success:
1. Under the dataset properties: I tried not to specify a default value for the accountDetails parameter on the xml query, then I added a parameter called "accountDetails" under the dataset parameters properties, then under parameter
value I added the following xml value :
<d4p1:AccountDetailDto>
<d4p1:AccountNumber>Parameters!AccountNumber.Value</d4p1:AccountNumber>
<d4p1:AccountType>Parameters!AccountType.Value</d4p1:AccountType>
</d4p1:AccountDetailDto>
(I also added the AccountNumber and AccountType parameters under the report data dialogue window)
This returns empty columns, is there something I'm missing, or am I doing this incorrectly?

Problem with empty report parameters when passed to PL/SQL function

Hi,
We have come across what appears to be a bug in the JRC. When passing a report parameter to a PL/SQL function as a parameter, empty parameters are changed before being sent to the function. More specifically, an empty string "" ends up as the value "(')" in the PL/SQL function parameter. In our report we print the report parameters on the first page so we know that the parameters are OK before being passed to the database.
The problem exists for version 12.2.203, 12.2.204 and 12.2.205 of the JRC.
We have identified a workaround, but it is not exactly elegant: Before executing the report we modify all empty parameters ("") to " " . In the PL/SQL function, we trim all parameters before using them.
We call the function using a command object with a sql syntax like this example:
select * from table (qa_batch_release.get_qa_br('{?p_report_id}','{?p_reg_set_number}','{?p_cr_number}','{?p_change_id_decode}','{?p_country_id}','{?p_mfg_item_no}','{?p_4_no}','{?p_5_no}','{?p_7_no}'))
The PL/SQL function is a table returning function.
Best regards, Thor

Hi Kishore,
using #COLUMN_VALUE# would probably not make much sense, because normally a report has multiple columns and not just the numeric column which you want to verify if it's negative. But APEX will fire the template condition for each column, because the report template is a column cell template.
What you can do to make it more generic is to use for example
#CHECK_AMOUNT#
in the template and provide a not displayed column in your SQL statement which contains your value which is named CHECK_AMOUNT. For example:
SELECT NAME
, BALANCE
, BALANCE AS CHECK_AMOUNT
FROM XXX;Because this CHECK_AMOUNT column would be a generic name, you can use this template in all your reports as long as you provide this column.
Thope that helps

Report parameters in MM/DD SSRS

I have a requirement where there will be two report parameters like From(MM/DD) and To(MM/DD) that will be used to compare against a month and day fields. For example, I have month and day fields stored in a table like
MM DD
01 24
05 29
When the user enters the two report parameters values as say From(01/25) and To(01/29), I need to retrieve records lies between Jan 25 to Jan 29 from the above table.
Can you kindly provide a sample way to achieve this.

Hi Sarayu,
I have tested on my local environment and you can add the filter as below to filter the data of the Month and Day field based on the two parameters.
Details information below for your reference(I assumed that the datatype of the twe parameters are Text ):
Add the filter in the dataset and in the expression input as below to combine the month and day together:
Expression (String)
=Fields!Month.Value &"/"& Fields!Day.Value
Operator: Between
Value: [@From] [@To]
Preview you will got the result as below:
If the DataType of the two parameters are Date/Time type you can use the expression below to filter the data:
=CDate(Fields!Month.Value &"/"& Fields!Day.Value)
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

Report Parameters behaving strangely

Hello,
I just completed my report in the designer provided with visual studio 2008, it's a relatively complex report with 6 subreports and has multiple detail sections. The parent report has one parameter which is used in a Database command. The report works nicely when previewing from the designer and only shows up one required parameters as it should. All the subreports have parameters as well but these are all linked to things on the parent report.
The problem is when I try to execute the report from code, it ignores my parameters and proceeds to ask for multiple parameters, both including the parent parameters and all sub report parameters. If I enter these manually just to test if it works, I then get a message saying there's an error in one of the subreport's record selection formula. However I'm not sure how much I believe this as the previewing works completely fine.
I just have no idea what is happening and why I am getting requests for so many parameters?
Marlon

Update ***
I have managed to work through towards getting the report to display in the .NET app now, I needed to check the IsLinked() fucntion before assigning parameters.
However, I have now been presented with an even more weird problem: If I switch database in code, I now get asked to enter a parameter I know is a linked one, if I do I get a message saying the record selection formula references an unknown field. But if I get the designer to change database, then get it to preview, it works flawlessly (both in the previewer and in the application). Until I change the database back to the original one, where I get the same error.
Our application needs to be used in many client organisations with each having different connection strings / databases (all have the same schema obviously) so I need this report to run independent of what the database it was designed / compiled on.
Here is the code I use to switch database within the application, is there anything different to the way I do it to the way the crystal report designer does it? As the designer is obviously doing something behind the scenes.
This code has worked on the 15 or so reports I've designed so far.
               ReportDocument cryRpt = new ReportDocument();
                TableLogOnInfo tLI = new TableLogOnInfo();
                ConnectionInfo cI = new ConnectionInfo();
                Tables tables;
                cryRpt.Load(reportPath);
                    cI.ServerName = (string)builder["Data Source"];
                    cI.DatabaseName = (string)builder["Initial Catalog"];
                    cI.UserID = (string)builder["User ID"];
                    cI.Password = (string)builder["Password"];
                    tables = cryRpt.Database.Tables;
                    foreach (Table t in tables)
                        tLI = t.LogOnInfo;
                        tLI.ConnectionInfo = cI;
                        t.ApplyLogOnInfo(tLI);

"Report Parameters" - only default showing / translation

Hi,
I did a BI Publisher with the "Analyzer for Excel" and I have 2 issues.
1. I'm calling the report from an ApEx application with the following URL:
.../R_Rapport_analyse_E.xdo?_xpf=&_xpt=1&Calendrier=130001&No_demande=5
The data showed under "Report Data" are ok, but not the ones under "Report Parameters" (Calendrier and No_demande). The default ones are displayed.
2. Is there a way to translate "Report Parameters" and "Report Data". I've tried to change them and save the template, but it's not working.
Thanks in advance.

you should be able to update the universe details (tools > universe > (universe)> refresh > import etc) and then run your report to get rid of partial results...

CR 2008, Universes, and report parameters....

All,
I would like to use a universe(s) as a data source for our crystal reports (CR 2008 - BOE 3.0/3.1). We have an application that collects the report parameters from users and then schedules the CR report using the JAVA API. My question is this:
what construct do I use in the universe to represent this statement in a where clause of the report query (I assume it's one of the @ functions):
where...
and loc_name in '(?locNameList)'
?locNameList is a multi-value parameter defined in the report.
Any comments, pointers to onlince documentation or examples, and book references would be appreciated.
thanks,pf

Paul,
Did you get any feedback on this, I am looking to do the same thing.

Hi KittyCat101,
If I understand correctly, you want to use a parameter to filter Status field that starts with “Is” or “Can” or “Fi”. If in this scenario, we can refer to the following steps to achieve your goal:
Modify the available values for @Status parameter to “Is”, “Can” and “Fi”.
Right-click the tablix or dataset to open the properties dialog box.
Select Filter in the left pane, then add a filter like below to filter Status field:
Expression: =Fields!Status.Value like (Parameters!Status.Value & "*") Type: Boolean
Operator: =
Value: true
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.

Report parameters for pdf instance

Hi,
is there a way to read the parameters from a pdf report instance? I already successfully retrieved the report parameters from a CrystalReport using the IReport.getReportParamters. Is there a similar way to do this for pdf instances or Excel instances?
Thanks in advance.

Hello Sebastian,
The InfoObject representing the scheduled instance to PDF should implement the IReportProcessingInfo interface, that defines the method to retrieve the params. You should cast to IReportProcessingInfo.
It's undocumented, but works.

Report Parameters with logical database

Hello
I have to read some HR infotypes that are provided with the logical database PNPCE.
Fort his i have written a report that will use my logical database and get some information.
What i need,are some new input parameters on the screen that are added by my report:
parameters: p_persnr type person-pernr,
                    p_name type p0002-nachn,
                    p_sname type p0002-vorna.
The problem is that i do not know how to link these parameters to my logical database reading.
When i try to call "get <node>" ,my report is not returning anything.
Is there a way to send my parameters as selection parameters to the logical database?
thank you

The selection screen 1000 is created dynamically during runtime. I doubt change done by SE51 will solve the issue. In fact there is some code which can help on this.

SSRS 2008 R2 Report parameters have default values and report not to auto run

Hi, I am using SSRS 2008 R2 one of my requirements for a Report is all the parameters have default value and I do not want this report to auto run when users open this report. I can create a dummy hidden parameter to break the auto run for this
report. But I am looking for solutions other than that.
Thanks in advance..........
Ione

Hi lone,
According to your description, you have a report with parameters. Now you want you report not to run automatically with your parameters default values. Right?
In Reporting Service, if you have parameters with default values in your report, your report will always auto run with these default values. We can say these default values are used for report running initially. So for your requirement, if you really need
to see your default value before the report running, the best workaround is set one more parameter to break the auto run like you have done. If you just want your report not to auto run, your can achieve it by removing those default values.

Report Parameters (Report Builder and SSRS)
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Web service report parameters

Hi,
just wondering is it possible to retrieve more info regarding report parameters using web service, I can only get following:
multiValuesAllowed
name
values
basically could a call register some other classes than call.setReturnClass(ReportDefinition.class) or call.setReturnClass(ParamNameValue [].class) which gives me the same info.
The reason why I'm asking is because I'd like to be able to get:
id / name
data type
label
default value
value set
and so on... so I can create my own prompt page in which user could set/select desired values and then run report with those values. Is this making any sense?
Looking at this document http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2007/10/25/oracle-bi-publisher-101331-web-services-first-impressions/ it looks like it is not possible, are there any workarounds.
At the moment I'm doing this by parsing xdo and that way I can get parameters, value sets and so on, then using api I'm generating reports, but I don't like this approach...
Any advices and help regarding this are welcome.
Thanks in advance,
Tomislav.

Information Given in Report Parameters of COPA Report

Can any please tell what information does the Keyword "Memory Table SP" and "Screen Table B" provide which is given under the Tech Data Tab for Overview of Report Parameters? It will give some information about the data rows.What does that information mean?
Another questions is that I am running a COPA report based on Summarization levels. The data that report is pulling in QA from the Summarization Level does not match with the data in Production for the YTD for that period. Is there some limitation of the QA system to display the data or is it some OSS thing?

Change 'report parameters' of scheduled report

How can I change the report parameters (not schedule parameters) programmatically and then schedule the 'modified' report immediately?
Scheduling works off - Binding off InfoObjects model
Modifying Parameters are based off - Binding off RAS model
Should I be using the ReportDocument Object?
Edited by: jam mend on Feb 2, 2009 6:31 PM

IReport boReport = (IReport)boInfoObjects.get(0);
IReportProcessingInfo reportInterface =
(IReportProcessingInfo) boReport.getPluginProcessingInterface("CrystalReport");
reportInterface.getReportParameters()
seems to have it.
