Today's date as default value for a parameter

Hello,
I am using Disco Plus 10g and Disco Viewer 10g.
I would like to default a parameter date to the current today's date. This date should be modified by the user (under Viewer), when he/she runs the report.
Is there a way to do this ?
Thanks a lot,
Olivier

Olivier,
I also needed that, but could not find a way to make it in 9.0.2. So, I gave up. If you find a solution, please share with us. Thanks.

  • 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.

  • Modify default value for static parameter field programmatically

    Hi,
    I have my Crystal Reports stored in a BO Enterprise system. I have written a java programm that scans the repository, loads the CR reports one by one into a ReportClientDocument, modifies the data source and then stores the updated report back to repository (it overwrites the existing objects).
    I was even able to modify the default values for the parameters, which are used for scheduling of each report.
    But what I am trying to do know is to overwrite the default value used when invoking the report interactively. This should be the value found under the Default Value field, when the Properties window of the parameter is opened in the CR designer.
    This is what I have tried so far:
    Option 1: First I tried to set the default values using com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.ReportClientDocument.getDataDefinition().getParameterFieldController().getField(...).getDefaultValues() . The only thing I have managed to do using this approach is to modify the static LOVs that are associated to static parameters. The actual selected value (shown under Default Value in the Properties window for the given parameter field) remained unchanged, when invoking the report in the InfoView or opening it in the CR designer.
    Option 2: I have used com.crystaldecisions.sdk.plugin.desktop.report.IReport.getReportParameters().get(ik).getDefaultValues() to change the default values. I was able to see my changes in the BO repository (using a query on CI_INFOOBJECTS), still the changes did not really have an impact to what is displayed as default value when invoking the report in the InfoView.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    It would be great to know if someone of you has already implemented successfully such a use-case.

    Stratos

  • How can I use today's date as default value in query string filter web part in SharePoint

    I have a query string filter on my web part page. I am trying to figure out how I can set it's default value to Today? I can't find anything online...

    Hi,
    Per my understanding, you might want to set a default value to the Query String Filter Web Part.
    It would not be able to set default value to the Query String Filter Web Part with the OOTB features available.
    By default, with a Query String Filter Web Part in the current page, we can filter other web part in the same page by adding parameters and values in the address bar
    of browser.
    If setting the “Query String Parameter Name” of a Query String Filter Web Part as “t”, then we can filter the corresponding connected web part by inputting such an
    URL into the address bar:
    http://sharepoint/SitePages/Page1.aspx?t=value1
    Suppose you want to filter the list view with a value dynamically when user opens this page, as a workaround, we can generate an URL with the parameters needed when
    page loaded, then redirect user to this URL afterwards. This can be achieved using JavaScript.
    About how to redirect user to other page with an URL:

  • Type defined array of clusters for holding configuration data - setting default values for each array element

    Hi,
    I was wondering if I could get some information and opinions about using a type defined array of clusters to hold configuration data.  I am creating a program to test multiple DUTs and wanted to have a type defined control for each DUT containing the information needed to create the DAQmx tasks for all of the signals for that DUT.  I am wanting to do this so that the data is hard-coded and not in a file that the user could mess up.
    The type def controls are then put in a subVI that chooses the appropriate one based on the DUT Type enumeration wired to a case structure.  
    I am having problems with the type defined control.  I am seeing issues when attempting to save a unique configuration to each array element in the array of clusters.  Somehow it worked to begin with, but now clicking "Data Operations --> Make Current value default" on individual elements of the cluster or the entire cluster (array element) is not saving the data when I re-open the type def control.  What am I doing wrong?  Am I trying to do something with arrays of clusters that I should not be doing?
    I have attached one of the type defined controls for reference.  I tried changing it to Strict to see if that helped, but no luck.
    To reproduce, change the resource string for array element 0 and make the new value the default value.  Then close the type def, and re-open it.  The old value is still present in that element.  The VI is saved in LabVIEW 2012.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Values of a typedef are not proprigated to instances of the control. THey will pick it up if created AFTER the data values have been changed. THey will not get updated with future changes. You should either create a VI specifically for hardcoding your values or implement a file based initialization. The file based would be much better and more flexible. If you don't want users to modify the data simply encrypt it. There is a noce blowfish library you can download.

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

    Post Author: kevans
    CA Forum: General
    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.

    Post Author: sharonmtowler
    CA Forum: General
    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.

    I'm sorry, but there is no magic way of passing a value containing more than 21 chars into a variable defined as char21.

  • How to set Default value of a parameter  to display Current Date

    I need to display the Default value for my parameter 'As of Date' which is of datatype Date as Current Date[DD-MON-YYYY].
    How can I do This??

    As Tamir-L pointed out, there is no direct way to do this, but there is a workaround:
    First, create a new parameter, but do not base it on any item. Give the parameter a default value of "Today".
    Then, create a condition like:
       (    :myParam = 'Today'
        AND <date_item> = sysdate)
    OR (    <date_item> = to_date(:myParam, 'DD-MON-YYYY'))Where :myParam is the parameter you created, and <date_item> is the item you are comparing against.
    To make things a bit more bulletproof, you could create a calculation that returns sysdate when the parameter is 'Today', a date when the to_date is successful, and NULL when the to_date fails, and use the calculation in the condition.

  • Problem using default value of report parameter 1 to validate parameter 2 passed in to report

    I am having a problem with an SSRS report using the default value of report parameter 1 to validate parameter 2 passed in to report (via C#) instead of using the value of parameter 1 that is also passed into the report.  Here are the
    simplified details:
    Using SSDT, SQL Server 2008 R2
    SSRS report has 2 parameters:
    P1 -- text, hidden, default value 'R1', ... front-end C# code can pass 'R2' or 'R1'
    P2 -- text, allows multiple values, list of available values provided by stored procedure (sproc_list) that takes P1 value as a parameter.  Hence, sproc_list either provides a list for P1 = 'R1' or P1 = 'R2'.
    List for P1 = 'R1' is 'A', 'B', 'C'
    List for P1 = 'R2' is 'A', 'B', 'D'
    Values for P1 and P2 can be passed in via C# to the report.
    The C# front-end displays 2 report choices to the user, R1 and R2, where both choices call the same RDL; but choice R1 passes in 'R1' for P1, and the choice R2 passes in 'R2' for P1.
    Upon a users 1st time use of the report no parameters are passed in.  Then when the user exits the report, the parameter value for P2 that was chosen is saved off to a file for R1 or R2, and used the next time the user selects the report.
    Everything always works fine for report R1 since the default value for P1 is 'R1'.
    When R2 is chosen and the user selects 'D' as the value for P2, runs the report, then exits, the P2 value of 'D' for R2 is saved to a file.  When the user returns the next day to run report R2, 'R2' is passed for P1, and 'D' is passed for P2.
    This is when the problem occurs.  The value of 'D' for P2 is validated against a list generated for P2 based on the default value of 'R1' for parameter P1.  Hence, SSRS considers 'D' an invalid value for P2 and blanks out the P2 parameter. 
    The user can then use the drop down list for P2 and choose 'D', but this defeats the purpose of saving the parameter values to be used the next time.
    Why is the stored procedure that provides a list of available values for parameter P2 using the default value of 'R1' for parameter P1 instead of using the value of 'R2' passed into the report for parameter P1?

    Hi Tom,
    Sorry for my delay.
    If I understand correctly, you have two parameter in your report. It is a couple of cascading parameter. If we have choose ‘R1’ of P1, the P2 values is A, B, C. ‘R2’ of P1, corresponding P2 values is A, B, D. What your requirement is to save the end use
    select option of these two parameters.
    In SSRS, if we have configure the parameter with default value. When we run the report, the parameter will fill with the default value to filter data. If we want to save the last status we are render the report, we need to update the default value of P1.
    If we are query the default value from database, if possible, we can
    update the database try to resolve the issue.  Alternatively, we can set the dynamic default value for the parameter.
    Hope this helps.

  • Default value for date

    Hi experts,
    I want to set default value for dates..
    My screen has : date_from & date_to.
    date_to : will be current date(today's date) if Eg: 27.08.2007 (here i used NOW())
    then date_from must be 01.06.2007 (3 months logic)
    similarly : if date_to is 01.01.2007
    then date_from must be 01.11.2006
    kindly help...
    Thanks a lot!!!
    Regards,
    Bijal

    Hi Bijal
    (DGET(NOW(),'D'))-1) returns number which is 0 incase of 01.08.2007, so DADD(NOW(),-0,'D') is again ideally same day 01.08.2007 .
    So, DADD(DADD(NOW(),-0,'D'),-2,'M') should give you 01.06.2007.
    <b> IT WORKS!!! -
    I have tested it now.</b>
    Please check and revert.
    The IF formula which sent actually returns String, so use DVAL(IF(DGET(NOW(),'D')!=1,DADD(DADD(NOW(),-((DGET(NOW(),'D'))-1),'D'),-2,'M'),DADD(NOW(),-2,'M')))

  • Is there any way we can set default value for a Date Attribute to current date in Master Data Services

    Is there any way we can set default value for a Date Attribute to current date in Master Data Services.
    I as well wants to know that is there any posibility to show Calendar control while input data into respective date attributes.
    Thanks.

    Hi Anagha,
    So far i havent found any way to set todays date by default from MMI, but i guess this flow should work as workaroud
    1. Add buisness rule which can set a default value when Date = NULL/Blank
    2.get the entity table ,use -select EntityTable from mdm.tblEntity where Name = '<enter entity name>'
    3.Go to that table and add a after update trigger like
    if uda_<entityid>_<attributeid(Date attribute)> = default value
    update uda_<entityid>_<attributeid(Date attribute)> =getdate() where id = <LastUpdatedRow>
    I will check on this too from my side.
    By the way AFAIK i dont think so calendar control integration is possible .

  • How to make default values for date range?

    Does anyone have any idea how I can meet this demand?
    Regards Silje

    Hi Federico,
    Thank you for the answer, we are back to the challenge after summer vacations!
    I have created a variable in the universe: SELECT current date  as TODAY FROM SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1. I Called it TODAY.
    Then I created a prompt in the query based on Date. In Prompt Properties I tagged for "Set Default Values" and I typed in TODAY.
    When I try to run the query I get the error message:  The date for the query filter based on 'Date' is invalid (WIS10704).
    What is wrong? What do I have to do differently?
    My goal is to have a default for Date that gives me today..
