Setting Default Value Of A Report Parameter Dynamically
Jan 26, 2007
Hi all,
Does sombody have experience on dynamically set or change the default value of a report parameter?
Assuming: report parameters p1, p2, p3, p4 have been set up(and have their default value 'all') with the creation of the report1; report browseing is through reportviewer that embedded in the web application; datasource is datacube
What I want to do: based on the login user of the my web application, set default value of p1 as the user's username.
What I did is:
Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ReportParameter reportParam = new Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ReportParameter("P1","Mary");
ReportViewer1.ServerReport.SetParameters(new Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ReportParameter []{ reportParam });
what I got when reveiw the report:
P1 has no default value, and p2, p3, p4 greyed and could not choose value from them.
Any idea and suggestion will be pre-appreciated!

Hi all,
Does anybody know how to set the parameter's default value dynamically?
I'm working on a report with some parameters against datacube, and I hope the default value of one of the parameters could be set dynamically based on the user's login.
Thanks,
Jone

Hi all
I hope someone can help me on this issue:
I am designing dynamical reports, that are abel to run in four different languages - so far everything works just fine for me (I select my headers and labels from a database). Only problem is the prompt text for report parameters. How can I set this text dynamically?
E.g. I have a parameter where the user selects a storage - this prompt should be "Storage: " in the English report and "Lager: " in the Danish report. I have absolutely no idea how to fix this.
I am greatful for any help.

Hello,
Is it possible to establish a set of default report and report body properties, perhaps in an ini file of some sort so that upon creating a new project and adding a new report item the developer does not have to go through the process of setting up all the interactive sizes, margins, paper sizes, etc each and every time? We have an established header that we incorporate on all reports and while in transition to the new Reporting Services it was my hope of finding something will create the first set of default conditions to help us automate the process just a bit.
Thank you.

I have a multi value parameter called "Location" and this depends on another multi valued parameter value. The default value for the parameter "Location" comes from the another another multi valued parameter. Now say when the default value is set for the parameter Location like the below:
The Location parameter data set has values from the Query and default values has been set as shown below:
=Iif(array.IndexOf(Parameters!Program.Value,"A")>-1,nothing,"N/A")
I get an error on preview saying that . The Default Expression for the report parameter "Location" contains error:
Unable to cast object of type 'System.String' to type 'System.Array'.

I've tried changing the default zoom setting by editing the RSReportServer.config file to include
<Configuration>
<DeviceInfo>
<Zoom>Page Width</Zoom>
</DeviceInfo>
</Configuration>
under the
<Render>
<Extension Name = "HTML4.0" etc.
However, all reports still show up with the zoom setting at 100% on the toolbar.
I stop and restart the Report Server Service and it comes up OK so I know my XML syntax is cool. What am I doing wrong?
This is on a 2005 Report Server. Reports are built in VS2005 Report Designer and deployed to the Report Server directly. Reports are accessed via IE7 browser.

Issue 1:
I have a report parameter StartDateTime. I set the default value to Now(). When I go to preview, the StartDateTime parameter is empty and its been locked. I am not even able to set it to different value in preview.
Can anyone help me how to set the datetime parameter to default value(Now).
Issue 2:
I have a stored procedure which takes StartDateTime parameter. Whenever the report refreshes using autorefresh interval, the startdatetime should default to Now. Right now the startdatetime defaults to whatever the value is there before i hit view report. how to do that using stored procedure.
Thanks fro your help.

I'm trying to set up a parameter report from a OLAP cube. I need 3 dynamic parameters(ThisYear, ThisMonth, YESTERDAY).
THISYEAR: =CStr(DatePart("yyyy",Today()))
THISWEEK: =CSTR(DATEPART("ww",Today()))
YESTERDAY: =CSTR(Datepart("d", Today().AddDays(-1)))
So far so good. I want to send this report by email everyday, so I need to set these parameters as a default value. This is where I run into problems.
When I add any of these parameters I get the following error "The restrictions by the CONSTRAINED flag in the STRTOSET function were violated". This problem occur when I choose NON-queried under Report->Report Parameters, and set a default value for THISYEAR under DEFAULT VALUES
=CStr(DatePart("yyyy",Today()))
Hope someone found a way around this problem.
Thanks in advance!

Dataset "FromTimeDimension" is a report parameter and has values (yyyymm)= 200601,200602,200603,2000604....... I would like to always have the default for this parameter to always be the latest month...ie November is the most recent month in our cube, so I would want the parameter to default to "200611". However, when I try to use the "last" function, the error says that aggregate function cannot be used.

I have a basic SSRS report against an SSAS database with a "start date" parameter. I want to set the default value of that date parameter to Today's date. What is the easiest way to do this? I have no problem doing it against a relational source, just haven't done it against an OLAP source.
Thanks for any ideas.

I have a report with a subscription enabled and the default values that are selected for the report frequently change. I have our report server locked down so that the users can't change the defaults, but I now want to empower them to maintain this on their own. Here is my dilemma. When you have the available parameters set up to pull from a query, the defaults on the report server have to be keyed in manually, which is not an option. The only way to get a check box there, is to explicitly specify the available values.I need my available values to be database driven and I need to be able to select my defaults on the report server using check boxes.

Hello,
I have a report which displays a customers invoice, in both the companys local currency, and the customers local currency.
The report language is "English (United Kingdom)"
The fields showing customers currency language setting is set to something else, i.e. "France (French)" to display the Euro currency.
The application handles 34 currencies, the query returns the language string, ("France (French)"), to allow the report to bind its language setting to the querys output.
However, it doesn't work, a normal textbox will display the correct country name string, but Reporting Services cannot bind the language setting to a query result. So I also tried setting it as a report parameter, but no joy either (all currencys revert to USD).
I'm using =First(Fields!curFormat.Value, "myDataSet") to bind the 'language' setting, the result of this expression returns "France (French)", which is a valid option for this language setting, as it's in the drop down list.
Rather than create 34 seperate reports for each currency, are there any suggestions on how to bind a fields language setting to a query result?

I have a report which will one day display some data from an analysis services cube. my first step is to create a drop down parameter enabling the user to choose the date. I'd like to display only dates that have data, and I'd like it to default to today.
So I've created a dataset that will be the datasource for the dropdown displaying the available non-empty dates, which works fine.
SELECT measures.turnover ON COLUMNS,
nonempty([TBL DIM DATE].[DATE_ONLY].[DATE_ONLY].ALLMEMBERS ) ON ROWS
FROM [Itdev1 Hk]
I've also set the report parameter up to be a queried paramter,and to use the above dataset as it source, with [DATE_ONLY] displayed. and [DATE_ONLY] as the value.
Now, how do I get it to default to the last valid member in the list?

Adding a value to a non-queried default report parameter value does not update on the target server after deployment.
To recreate
1. Create a report in Visual Studio and add a report parameter with the following properties:
Multi-value is checked
Available values = "From Query"
Dataset = [create a dataset that returns a table w/ a Id and Description column]
Value field = [the Id field from the table]
Label field=[the Description column from the table]
Default values = "Non-queried" (add several values the match the IDs from the table so that some of the values in the report dropdown will show up as checked when rendering the report)
2. Build and deploy the report to the reporting server. View the report and verify the specified items are checked in the report parameter.
3. Go back to Visual Studio and add a value to the Non-queried Default values.
4. Build and deploy the report again. View the report. The newly added item is not selected.
Notes
I verified that the newly added ID exists in the rdl file (as xml) on both the development box and the server where the report was deployed. However, when I view the report parameter using Management Studio (connect to the reporting server), the newly added value for the report parameter does not exist. I verified that changes are being deployed by adding new parameters and changing other properties of the parameter. I thought maybe the rdl itself was being cached somehow - I tried restarting IIS, SQL Server, and SQL Reporting services. None worked. Note that running the report on the development box by running the project through Visual Studio DOES reflect the change to the parameter.
Work-arounds
1. Create a dataset for the report that returns a table of the Ids that you want pre-selected. The query could be something like this:
SELECT '4' AS SelectedId
UNION
SELECT '5' AS SelectedId
UNION
SELECT '6' AS SelectedId
2. Delete the report in Management Studio, then redeploy.
I have issue w/ both workarounds because for 1) it is not intuitive and you have to remember to do this for every similar case, and 2) this extra step has to occur each time the report is deployed w/ changes to the report parameter.

Is it possible to fill a parameter list with values based on another parameter value?
Here's what I have so far (which hasn't worked)...
I'd like to generate a report listing information for a student. The report viewer would first select a school from the first drop-down menu, and then the second drop-down menu would populate with the list of students at that school.
I have a dataset that calls a sp which returns a list of schools (SchoolID and SchoolName fields from the database table).
I have another dataset that calls a sp (with SchoolID as the parameter) which returns a list of students for that school.
Both datasets return the appropriate data when tested individually, but when I set up the Report Parameters and build the report, these errors come up...
The value expression for the query parameter '@SchoolID' refers to a non-existing report parameter 'SchoolID'.
The report parameter 'Student' has a DefaultValue or a ValidValue that depends on the report parameter "SchoolID". Forward dependencies are not valid.
...Is it possible for the reoprt to generate a list of available parameter values based on the value selected for another parameter?
Any help you can give me would be great!! Thank you

Hi All,
I am creating the report and setting the datasource(dataset) dynamically to the report. I want to set the parameters also dynamically. am using Report Viewer to process the report.
When i set the parameters locally, i am getting the below error:
An error occurred during local report processing
Here is my code:
da = new SqlDataAdapter(strqry, conn);
ds = new DataSet();
da.Fill(ds);
ReportDataSource ReportDataSourceX = new ReportDataSource();

ReportParameter[] parm = new ReportParameter[2];
parm[0] = new ReportParameter("Business_Function", "SQMO");
parm[1] = new ReportParameter("Application", "ETMRS");
parm[0] = new ReportParameter("Owner", "Subbu");
//parm[0] = new ReportParameter("Business_Function", ds.Tables[0].Columns["Business_Function"].ToString());

RptViewer.LocalReport.SetParameters(parm);
RptViewer.LocalReport.Refresh();
Can anyone please help me in resloving this issue.

Hi:
I have posted concerning this-I don't mean to double post but I have
isolated the problem and have new information. (and I'm desperate!!) Please direct me to a DTS forum if this is not the place for this, I didn't see one.
I am trying set the data connection object (ODBC to Sybase) twice in
the same package but the Data Pump Tasks that use this connection don't
seem to be using the new setting in the connection after the second
time it is set, although at the end of the package I can see that the
connection has been set. The pumps just use the original connection a
second time instead of using the 2nd connection.
Here is the progress:
1. SQL Task1: Gets server information from a SQL Server table, and sets
it to a recordset global variable in the DTS.
2. ActiveX Task1: Begins loop, and sets the connection to server2 and
sets sql of datapump tasks
3. Several data pumps run.
4. ActiveX Task2: just loops around to ActiveX Task1
5. ActiveX Task1: Sets the connection object to server2 (msgbox tells
me this happens successfully)
6. The datapumps continue to use server2(??)
7. Package finishes succesfully
8. I right click on first datapump and do a "execute task". It executes
using server2, which for some reason it did not do during execution of
the entire package.
The loops works fine (as I have gotten it from you Allan), it clearly
goes through twice when I have specified two servers (I can see the
data in the resulting table is doubled from the source server, and I
can see it in the progress window going through the data pump steps
twice). After, if I run the data pump tasks by right clicking and doing
an "execute task" then it works using server2 was set.
I put a msgbox in the ActiveX Task1 to confirm the server is being set
correctly.
Any ideas here? Is there some other property I need to set? Is it a
setting with the Data Pump task? This all seems very weird-I feel like
I must be missing something obvious.
Here is the part of the code of ActiveX Task 1 (only part) that sets
the connection (let me know if you want to see the package):
Dim pkg
Dim SCCScon
Dim objRS
Dim SQLStatement
set pkg = DTSGlobalVariables.Parent
set SCCScon = pkg.Connections("Connection_Name")
set stpEnterLoop = pkg.Steps("DTSStep_DTSDataPumpTask_1")
set stpFinished = pkg.Steps("DTSStep_DTSActiveScriptTask_5")
Set objRS = DTSGlobalVariables("gvDataSources").Value
stpFinished.DisableStep = true
stpEnterLoop.DisableStep = false
stpEnterLoop.ExecutionStatus = DTSStepExecStat_Waiting
msgbox "DSN is now: " & SCCScon.DataSource
SCCScon.DataSource = objRS.Fields(1)
SCCScon.UserID = objRS.Fields(2)
SCCScon.Password = objRS.Fields(3)
msgbox "Now I've set the DSN and it is now: " & SCCScon.DataSource

Evaluates as: C:CheckpointsCheckPointFile_@[User:BName].xml
when I try to save the package, it comes up with an error saying
Error at Caller Package: the filename is not valid. the filename is a device or contains invalid characters.

Can you dynamically set the name of the table in the SelectCommand section of the SqlDataSource? (If it is relevant, I code in C#)
For example,
<asp:SqlDataSource runat="server" ID="SqlDataSource1" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:Test-MySQL %>" ProviderName="<%$ ConnectionStrings:Test-MySQL.ProviderName %>" SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM TestTable">
I would like to replace 'TestTable' with the name of a table that is extracted from a string array in the code-behind.

Hello all,
Ok, I finally got my SqlDataSource working with Oracle once I found out what Oracle was looking for. My next hurdle is to try and set the Update Command and Parameters dynamically from a variable or radiobutton list. What I'm trying to accomplish is creating a hardware database for our computers by querying WMI and sending the info to textboxes for insertion and updating. I got that part all working nicely. Now I want to send the Computer name info to a different table column depending on if it is a laptop or desktop. I have been tossing around 2 ideas. A radiobutton list to select what it is and change the SQL parameters or do it by computer name since we have a unique identifier as the first letter ("W" for workstation, "L" for Laptop). I'm not sure what would be easiest but I'm still stuck on how this can be done. I posted this same question in here a few days ago, but I didn't have my SqlDataSources setup like I do now, I was using Dreamweaver 8, it is now ported to VS 2005. Below is my code, in bold is what I think needs to be changed dynamically, basically i need to change DESKTOP to LAPTOP...Thanks for all the help I've gotten from this forum already, I'm very new to ASP.NET and I couldn't do this without all the help. Thanks again!
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource2" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:CAT %>"ProviderName="<%$ ConnectionStrings:CAT.ProviderName %>" SelectCommand='SELECT * FROM "COMPUTER"' UpdateCommand="UPDATE COMPUTER SET DESKTOP = :DESKTOP, TECH = :TECH, SERVICE_TAG = :SERVICE_TAG WHERE USERNAME=:USERNAME">
<UpdateParameters>
<asp:ControlParameter Name="USERNAME" ControlId="txtUserName" PropertyName="Text"/>
<asp:ControlParameter Name="SERVICE_TAG" ControlId="txtServiceTag" PropertyName="Text"/>
<asp:ControlParameter Name="TECH" ControlId="txtTech" PropertyName="Text"/>
<asp:ControlParameter Name="DESKTOP" ControlId="txtComputerName" PropertyName="Text"/>
</UpdateParameters>

I need to make my site aware of which server_name it is loading from so it uses a different connection string. (have dev + prod servers for web/sql)Currently my connection string is in web.config as follows: <connectionStrings> <!-- Development and Staging connection string --> <add name="myconnection" connectionString="server=myserver; user id=mysuer; password=mypassword; database=mydatabase" /> </connectionStrings> I need to make sure the 'name' is the same for both connection strings since that is how the rest of my site looks for it. However, I'm not sure how to get both in here with some sort of 'if/then' statement to determine which one to use.I've heard it could be done in global.asax with something similar to the code below, but I dont know how to assign a 'name' to a connection string for that type of setup. Sub
Session_OnStart ServerName =
UCase(Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME")) IF ServerName = "prod.server.com" THEN ...Set Prd string... ELSE ...Set Dev string... END IF End

Hi all,
I have been playing with integration services for a few days and at the moment, its up there with my list of software that I find ......painful.
What I am trying to do is read different tables from my one SQL database, then populate my Access database with its data.
I have put a foreach loop which goes through a collection SQL statements that I have entered into it. It first assigns it to a string variable called tablenameVar which contain statements such as "Select * from Terminals". Then the datareader is supposed to execute it based on the connectstring which never changes, and the SQLCommand value which I passed using the variable @[User::tableName]. However when I try to run it, I'm getting this error.

Hi,
I need "conditional" cascading parameters: In Report Manager when one changes parameter 1, parameter 2 get changed based on parameter 1. Optionally, one can also enter values to parameter 2 directly.
I was able to achieve this in SSRS 2000 (SP2) with the following setups. SSRS 2005 and SP1 no longer works - Parameter 2 always shows its default value regardless whether one select a value in Parameter 1 or not.
Parameter 1
available values: from query
default values: non query (specify a value "<None>")
Parameter 2
available values: Non query (no value specified)
default values: from query (based on Parameter 1)
It seems to me that the default value in SSRS 2000 is considered as cascading parameter. But it is no longer the case in SSRS 2005.
Is this a SSRS 2005 bug? is there any other work arounds or suggestions?
Thanks.
Kong
