Unable to edit values of Unused paramters while scheduling a report in Infoview

[Former Member]

Hi

I have a crystal report which is using a Cascading Dynamic Parameter (LOV in BVM) e.g. Country -> State > City.

I have not used Parameter Country anywhere in my report formulas but have used State and City.

When I publish the report on BO Repository, I get prompted for all the parameters when I select View on Demand. However When I try to schedule an instance of the same report It becomes Unused Parameters and am not able to edit their values.

Can you please advise me on this, how can I Schedule an instance of this report.

Hi Himanshu,

A Dynamic Cascading prompt, shows all the prompts in the Heirarchy (Country > State > City) whether you use each one of them separately or not.

What do you mean by 'unable to edit values of unused parameters'?

You are correct that it shows all the prompts but only when we run the report either directly from the CR Designer or via View on Demand in Infoview/CMC.

But if I try to schedule an instance of this report, I am getting a check box in the parameter section which says "Show unused parameters" to see this dyanamic prompt. And When I check that box in Infoview still I am not able to select any value for this prompt as it's greyed out.

Hope I am able to explain my query to you.

Also attached a screen shot of the scenario for your reference.

Strange. You should perhaps ask for help in the BI Platform space in this case.

probably, you would be better off posting this at the BI Platforms forum. I have seen this issue in the past and the first guess is that this had to do something with the version/patch combination. you might want to check this for some other reports as well and then post your discussion with the results.
