Missing parameter exception [message #716250]

Tue, 16 August 2011 15:24

Eclipse User

Hello,

When submitting a get request to our birt viewer, an exception is thrown saying
our 'customer' field is blank. In firebug in the referred header you can see that
this parameter isn't blank, but in the soap request it is blank.
If __format is set to 'pdf' instead of 'html' it works but then the links do not
work.

Thank you,

Chris

here's the trace:

How are you sending the parameter?

Hello,

I'm just entering the url in my browser address bar(mozilla).
Here's the url (with newlines added for clarity)

birt-viewer/run?__report=report/Stats.rptdesign
&__format=html
&Run+Time=2011-03-29-11.55.07 to 2011-03-29-13.22.18
&End+Time=2011-03-29 13:22:10.046
&ShowDate=false
&Start+Time=2011-03-29 11:55:11.17
&Subscription=SSTODSPA_S
&Customer=CHRIS
&GCUnit=0
&Time+Buckets=0
&Debug=false
&__locale=en_US
&__svg=false
&__designer=false
&__pageoverflow=0
&__masterpage=true" target="_blank"

If I use the birt gui that we have, the data is retrieved properly, but with the url no. In the headers you can see that the data in the soap request is missing (customer element). It also seems that names >= 8 chars work. I substituted the name in the url i pasted with another customer name that was >= 8 chars and the data is retrieved (since they have the same data in respect to the other parameters).

Thank you,

Chris

Chris,

Can you reproduce this with the sample db so I can test it locally?
Does your Run+Time parameter really have a + in it or were you encoding
a space?

Jason,

I was checking my email for your replies. The first one showed but the others haven't. Then I decided to check here and you have replied. Sorry about that.

We found a strange solution for the moment. The customer box was a 'list box'. It was changed to a 'combo box' and everything started working. The plus symbol I think was a url-encoded space, I tried without it and with %20 and all three methods work properly.

We tried setting it up on the sample db with a sample rptdesign but we're having trouble with having a list box instead of a text box. We keep seeing the 'textbox' instead of 'listbox'. I don't have any experience with birt so that could definitely be the issue.

Also I appologize, the url I pasted is incorrect, there is a floating double quote that shouldn't be there, and there is an ampersand missing between the last two parameters.

If there is any other info you need let me know,

Thanks,

Chris

Chris,

I came across your post trying to solve a similar problem. In my case, I was getting the list box values dynamically from a data set. When I passed the parameter in the URL with a value that was not in the data set I got the error. The data set was the result of a database query with a where condition. The problem was caused by passing a value that was not included by the where condition. This seems consistent with your workaround because the combo box lets you enter your own value. Don't know if your situation is the same, but I hope it helps.

Hi Brian,

I am facing similar issue. I have created a birt report where I have added a dynamic list parameter. The list for parameter is taken from the data set.

When I run the report in web browser locally from the option available on SpagoBI Studio, It works fine but when I deploy it on server the following errorlog is generated
