Dynamic Parameter with Scripted Data Set [message #638893]

Fri, 12 November 2010 18:53

Eclipse User

I am creating a report with an input parameter based on a data set. I need a combo box to populate based on a query. The datasource is scripted and therefore i am using a scripted data set. I have two data sets, one for the parameter and the one for the report. I assign the data set to the parameter dynamically and set the data set and the field.

The problem is when i run the report the combo box is not getting populated. I know the data set works because if i put it on the report i get results.

It is as if the query is not being executed before the parameters window comes up.

What do i need to do to have a combo box populate based on a scripted data set?

Thanks

Mike,

I believe that was a bug in BIRT 2.1.2. It is fixed in later versions
of BIRT.

I've got exactly the same issue
I've got scripted data Source and I try to use it to fetch dynamically into report parameter values list - but the list is empty - I'm pretty sure that my data source work fine cause I could set default value for parameter form it - in this case when I've run the report I've got only one (this) value on the list.
I'm using Birt 2.3.2 - any suggestion how to fix it ?

Can you try it with BIRT 2.6 or 3.7?

I found the solution in another forum in www.birt-exchange.org.

Try adding:

importPackage(Packages.com.ibm.tivoli.maximo.report.script);
mxReportScriptContext = MXReportScriptContext.initialize(reportContext);

to the beforeopen method for each dataset you have. After adding this the combo boxes now work properly.
