Run Parameter Variables in Report Headings

Post Author: Jmusser
CA Forum: Desktop Intelligence Reporting
How do you create a Run Parameter Variable in a Report Heading for Desktop Intelligence?
For example, I want to place the field "<Prev Mth End/Curr Year>" with its value in the heading of the report. I get the error MultiValue". If I make it a variable I get a "Computation" error. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Jmusser,
Please note that #Multivalue is not an error.This means that the particular Object or variable is have more than one value.Hence If we drag and drop the variable with few table values in the report we can get the result.Can you use some formula like this Previous().If you can be bit more specific abt the issue we can look over.
Please let me know if I am wrong any form Experties.

Exporting DI batch to BAT and set DI parameter/variable at run time

Hi All,
We are looking to call DI batch job externally and pass parameter/variable at run time.
We tried exporting DI batch to a bat file and setting substitution parameters during export.
In the exported .bat file, it references a .txt file which shows the name of the substitution paramemters but the value of the parameters are encrypted.
Does anyone know how to pass parameter/variable to a DI batch job at run time externally?
Thanks,
Bobby

I tried out this method and I have some additional issues.
1. if we use the BOE scheduler the text parameter file is using a specific naming convention that is not clearly documented. it is like : -GV"$VAR=ENCRYPTEDVALUE;"... trying to modify it with a clear value like -GV"$VAR=MYVALUE;" was simply ignored by the scheduler... seems also that BOE did not sent any scheduling request to the DI Job Launcher...
What is the proper convention please?
2.Is there a better way to enter this parameter than editing the TXT file. Most of the BOE InfoView users are not allowed to modify or store documents.. This is not very convenient if they cannot enter simply the parameter values in a let say more confortable way...
Thank you and cheers

Variable Report Headings

Can HTMLDB reports do variable width column headings(like in Excel), so users can increase/decrease the width of a column whenever they want?

Hi Mayil ,
Assuming all your headers, text etc.. are coming from the master data...
1) Check all your Master data Characteristics and make sure you checked teh flag:
              "Text is Language Dependent".
    Since it is an existing data and reports......if you need to make a change to this flag
    could take some time/resources to change/test/implement.
2) Create master data texts in French.....and load them into Master data tables.
3) Talk to the Basis team in implementing the Local language settings for the Country/Users.
Good luck, BB

Use global variable in reports which is declared in forms

Hi All,
I have declared and used a global variable in Forms and after that I'm running a report and I want to use the same variable in reports.
How can I use that.

Though I'm calling report from menu item and I have created report file with three parameters.
In menu item I have created a parameter list with same three parameters but whenever I tried to run then it gives Invalid ID error for all three parameters.

A better way to run a 7 day report?

Using Crystal Reports 11
I am hoping there is a better way of running a seven day report that i have to run weekly
In the report i have it set when refreshing the document, the "Prompt for new parameter values" comes up and there is a date field for start and end
This is how i did it
I made a formula called "Date" this comes from the closed date of our accounts
I made a Parameter Field "Start Date" with the TYPE field is "Date"
I made a Parameter Field "End Date" with the TYPE field is "Date"
I made a Select Expert Using data from the "ClosedDate" in the first drop down I picked "Formula" and used this as the formula
{WH_ACCTCOMMON.CLOSEDATE} in {?Start Date} to {?End Date}
Two things
1. Is there a way to have "Prompt for new parameters values" as the default checked off box when clicking "Refresh"?
2. Is there a way to only enter a start date and the refresh would just run 7 days without entering a end date?

Hi,
Here's a suggestion for question 1:
When you preview the report for 1st time there is no prompt window that asks you to select whether you wish to 'Use current values' or 'Prompt for new values'.
If the Preview window is open and you hit refresh again, this is when you get the pop-up with the above options. If you close the Preview window and refresh again, you would not get a pop-up and it will show the Prompt window instead.
For question 1, you can follow Alun's sugestions.

Blank report viewer control when adding a parameter to rdlc report

Hi guys,
I am currently generating a rdlc report in Visual Studio 2010 and embedding it into an asp page using a reportviewer control. My dataset is based on entity framework. The report runs fine and returns plenty of data in the format I want.
Whenever I add a parameter to the report the reportviewer control on my page is just blank.
I'm setting the parameter "available values" from a field in the same dataset used to generate the report but even if I add an empty parameter with no available values the reportviewer control is still blank.
This is the same in both Internet Explorer 8 and Firefox 5.
Any ideas where I'm going wrong?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
please check your report viewer property and make sure the parameter prompts property is true in your code
rvReportViewer.ShowParameterPrompts =
True

Different scenario to run Former XML Publisher report

Hi All.
I have some different kind of scenario to run the XML Publisher report. Please look into the following scenario and requirements:
In my current project we are implementing 22 languages like Chinese, Japanese, Spanish etc. Out of these 22 languages, 8 languages will be installed and 14 will be uninstalled. We are defining the language on 2 places: OU level and Address level. For those reports that need to be translated, we are using XML Publisher to achieve this, but we have different scenario to pass the language, in order to select the corresponding template.
Scenario: As i mentioned we are defining the languages on address level, it is considered that the language defined at the address level will be customer's preferred language and he would like to see the output in that language only. there are 2 possible conditions while running the report: 1. User may select the language in which he want the report to be displayed in. 2. User may not select any language. The 1st scenario can be fulfilled by standard functionality. but in case of second scenario when user does not select any language then we need to display the report in language defined on address level for that customer. For Ex: if the Invoice report is running for 4 invoices and have 2 different customers and their preferred language is different, suppose for 1 customer it is Chinese and for another one it is Japanese. Then we need to display the output in customer's preferred language only i.e for Japanese customer it should be in Japanese and for Chinese customer it should be in Chinese i.e 2 different templates will be applicable.
So as per this while submitting the concurrent request we need to check whether user has selected the language or not? And after making all the conditions check we will have to submit the xml publisher report using API. Do you have any suggestion how can we achieve this task?
Please suggest.
Thanks,
AS

Hi AS,
How about using a conc prog parameter for User selected language, and XML element data at customer level, then call a subtemplate (or multiple embedded regions in the same template) in the required language based on if or case logic in the template.

Gareth

In Drill through report pass hyperlink value as parameter to another report using ssrs 2008 R2

Hi All,
I have one drill through SSRS report in which if I click one hyperlink in the summmary report it should be passed as parameter for detail report, like this....
Summary:

If I click A1 then that should be passed as parameter to detail report and display A1 data in detail report
If I click A2 then that should be passed as parameter to detail report and display A2 data in detail report.
Please give me some ideas or expression code to achieve this in using SSRS 2008R2. Its very urgent.
Thanks,

sql

Thanks the folowing is my source data for the parameter I am including to the drill through
SELECT DISTINCT

end as EA_PROJECT_GROUP_DESC
FROM TEAMS.FMPROD_V_EA

[rsErrorReadingDataSetField] The dataset Trends contains a definition for the Field EA_PROJECT_GROUP_DESC. The data extension returned an error during reading the field. There is no data for the field at position 45.

what does the position 45 mean?

Error when using running total variable in formula

This is probably an easy syntax problem, but I'm fairly new to Crystal reporting. I created a running total variable (count) called InquiryTypeSubtotal that simply counts the number of records. I have one grouping level, and in the group footer I'd like to print a line showing the total count for that group that looks like
Total inquiries for Assistive Technology: 3
To accomplish this I'm using a formula field with the following syntax:
"Total inquiries for " + {CnAttrCat_1.CnAttrCat_1_Description} + ": " + ToText(@InquiryTypeSubtotal)
When I try to check the formula, I get the error message "The ) is missing." What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Alec

I put in the curly brackets so my formula now reads
"Total inquiries for " + {CnAttrCat_1.CnAttrCat_1_Description} + ": " + ToText({@InquiryTypeSubtotal})
Now when I check the formula I get the error message "This field name is not known."

Passing Parameter from Main report to SQL command-based subreport

I am trying to cut down the run time of my reports and have recently figured out how to write SQL commands to limit the data by filtering prior to being pulled into the reports. However, many of my reports rely on multiple sub reports, which can cause a dramatic 'drag' on the report.
I am trying to filter the SQL command used in my sub report by passing the group parameter, which is selected by the user in the main report, to the sub report's SQL command. Without this parameter, the sub report has to sort through a lot more data than it would with this parameter, making the run time extremely slow.
Any suggestions on how I can accomplish this?
Thanks for any help you can provide,

Hi Marlene,
I don't believe you can pass a CR parameter to a Command object.
I suggest replacing all of the Command Objects with a Stored Procedure so all of the data filtering is done server side. DB servers are much more proficient at collecting the data and filtering than CR will ever be. It will also allow you to replace subreports to also speed up your report processing. All depends on your layout of course but something to look at.
Thank you

Internal variables of report painter shouldn't be selectable

Dear collegues,
I have created two new internal variables in report writer in order to use them in planning layout of TA KP67:
- previous year: marked as internal variable: calculated as: &1CGJAHE-1 (2008)
and
- future year: marked as internal variable: calcualted as: &1CGJAHE+1 (2010).
In report painter these variables are assigned to key figures and are not shown on the selection screen again as they are calculated internally.
But in planning layout of TA KP67 cost activity planning these variables are also assigned to key figures like actual costs or fixed planned costs and are indicated as acceptable for input on the selection screen but shouldn't - so how it is possible to define internal variables in co planning layouts as really internal which do not come up if the planning layout is executed via TA KP06?
Thanks and regards,
Christian

Hello Christian,
when I understand your request correctly, you want to plan for several years like 2008, 2009 and 2010 but you just want to enter one year. Right?
For the column with the current fiscal year you can use a standard variable like GJAHR. For the other columns you define the year in the column as variable with value "GJAHR-1" (last year) and with value "GJAHR+1" (following year). On the selection screen of the planning transaction you will only have one field for the current year and the fiscal year for the other columns is calculated accordingly when you run the planning.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Daniela

Variable in report script

Is it possible to create create user defined variables in report script?

You can't use an Essbase report script to set a substitution variable.
You can set it in EAS or use MaxL (or Esscmd) to do so.
See: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/esb_techref/maxl_variable.htm
MaxL/Esscmd can be used to set a substitution variable and run a report script that references the variable.

Showing description of a parameter in the report

Hi all,
I have a requirement where I need to show the description of a parameter in the report.
For eg:
CODE              DES
AF          Associated Feature
BG          Background
BGA          Background Ambient
BCA          Bkgrd Comm Ambient
BC          Bridge/Cue
CJ          Combination M Jingle
CS          Combination M Promo
CT          Combination M Theme u2026 and so on.
The parameter is on the DB field u2018CODEu2019. Here when the user selects the parameter value u2018AFu2019 the report should show the description u2018Associated Featureu2019 in the Report Header.
I am using stored procedures in the report and lookups(coming from a package) for the drop down values of parameters.
I thought of creating arrays in the formula editor but I could not find a way to pass values to an array variable from a field. (I have to enter all the values in array manually to create it. But we have approx 50 reports which have CODES of more than 40. So itu2019ll be not feasible).
Is there any way to achieve this requirement?
Thanks for your help in advance.

Try to use add command and write the query like this
select code,description from table where code={?Parameter}
Now link this command with your stored peocedure using left outer join and place the field in the report header to get the description.

Raghavendra
