Default Dynamic Parameter [message #635155] Mon, 25 October 2010 19:20 Go to next message

I've created a dynamic list box report parameter and would like to set the default value to be the first item in the list. Is that possible or can I only specify a static value for the default value?


Thanks...

If you're showing the listbox interactively and have an order by clause on the query, the first item in the list will be presented.

If you want to actually have that as the default value (preselected) then you will need to iterate over the dropdown values in the parameter value event script. I've seen references to that somewhere, that was added in 2.5.

Yes, what I want is to have the first item in the list box preselected, since most of the time that's the option that the user will choose anyway.

Sorry, I missed that this was a listbox and not a combo box. You need to run iteratively through the values and set the one you want. I just won't have time to find where I think I did that for a week. Hopefully someone else has done this.

If you do not set a default value and are using the viewer, the first
item returned should be preselected automatically in the parameter entry
box.

It looks like I can maybe do what I want using 'getdefaultvaluelist', but I can't find any examples. The values in the combo-box come from a data set, that returns a list of academic terms...

TERM_CODE
TERM_DESC
TERM_START
TERM_END

...the terms in the list include some past and some future terms. I want the current term selected by default. So in pseudo-code I figure I should be able to...

Create array with default values

Iterate through the values in the dataset to find the term code where today's date is between the term start and end dates

Add the term code to the array so it becomes the default value

...I just don't know what's available within the context of the 'getdefaultvaluelist' call. Anyone want to get me started here?

An example of the getdefaultvaluelist script would look something like:

var dVLArray = [];
dVLArray[0]= "10104";
dVLArray[1] = "10108";
dVLArray;

This is for multi-select list box.

Thanks, that's a start. Now I need the values to be based on those from a DataSet. How do I iterate through the values in a DataSet named 'Term Codes'?

I've been digging through the API's, I don't quite have a clear picture as to how they link together. A couple questions...

1) Where is getDefaultValueList defined in the API?

2) Is it possible to access rows of a data set from within getDefaultValueList?

Bernie,

We are looking at ways to improve this script because currently you have
very little access to current dataset. Two ways around this is to call
a custom java class to return the default list of values or call the
BIRT data engine. I am attaching an example that calls the birt data
engine to run a dataset that sets the default values.

What the script does is preselect all values in the list.

Oh! Here I thought this might be complicated... Razz

Here's what I came up with...

getDefaultValueList()

importPackage(Packages.java.lang);
importPackage(Packages.java.util);
importPackage(Packages.org.eclipse.birt.data.engine.api);
importPackage(Packages.org.eclipse.birt.report.model.api);
importPackage(Packages.org.eclipse.birt.data.engine.api.querydefn);
importPackage(Packages.org.eclipse.birt.data.engine.core);

// Grab the configuration object for the report engine
var myconfig = reportContext.getReportRunnable().getReportEngine().getConfig();

// Create a temporary data source based on the Banner data source
var dsrc = reportContext.getDesignHandle().findDataSource("Banner (PROD)");
  
var odaDataSource = new OdaDataSourceDesign( "Temporary Data Source" );
odaDataSource.setExtensionID( "org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc" );
odaDataSource.addPublicProperty( "odaURL", dsrc.getProperty("odaURL").toString() );
odaDataSource.addPublicProperty( "odaDriverClass", dsrc.getProperty("odaDriverClass").toString());
odaDataSource.addPublicProperty( "odaUser", dsrc.getProperty("odaUser").toString() );
odaDataSource.addPublicProperty( "odaPassword", dsrc.getProperty("odaPassword").toString() );

// Create a temporary data set based on the term codes data set
var dset = reportContext.getDesignHandle().findDataSet("Term Codes");
  
var odaDataSet = new OdaDataSetDesign( "Temporary Data Set" );
odaDataSet.setDataSource( odaDataSource.getName( ) );
odaDataSet.setExtensionID("org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc.JdbcSelectDataSet" );
odaDataSet.setQueryText( dset.getQueryText() );

// Instantiate a new data engine
var dataEngine = DataEngine.newDataEngine( myconfig, null );
dataEngine.defineDataSource( odaDataSource );
dataEngine.defineDataSet( odaDataSet );

// Create a new query definition using the data set
var queryDefinition = new QueryDefinition( );
queryDefinition.setDataSetName( odaDataSet.getName() );
queryDefinition.setAutoBinding(true);

// Prepare and execute the query
var pq = dataEngine.prepare( queryDefinition );
var queryResult = pq.execute( null );

// Setup an interator for the results
var resultIterator = queryResult.getResultIterator( );
  
// This will hold the default term code
var defaultTermCode = null;

var today = new Date().getTime();
  
while (resultIterator.next() && defaultTermCode == null) {
  var termCode = resultIterator.getString("STVTERM_CODE");
  var termStartDate = resultIterator.getDate("STVTERM_START_DATE").getTime();
  var termEndDate = resultIterator.getDate("STVTERM_END_DATE").getTime();

  //System.out.println("Code:" + termCode + "; Start: " + termStartDate + "; End: " + termEndDate);

  if(today >= termStartDate && today <= termEndDate) {
	defaultTermCode = termCode;
  }
}

resultIterator.close( );
queryResult.close( );
dataEngine.shutdown( );

// Return the default value
defaultTermCode;


...certainly could be simpler if I just had easy access to the data set associated with the parameter.

I tried to execute a query in getDefaultValueList with a similar script, except my Birt Designer is 4.8 and database is SQL Server.

The following lines cause the script to terminate:

queryDefinition.setAutoBinding(true);
queryDefinition.addInputParamBinding(paramBinding);
resultIterator.getString("defaultCode"); in the resultIterator while loop. This tells me that the result set has data.

If all those lines are commented, the script completes the execution (last line is hard coded default value which shows up in the parameter list as default). There are no error messages anywhere. Only way to detect the complete execution of the script is to see the last default value in the parameter list. I have tried everything I could think of and looked for more info everywhere but to no avail. Does anyone know why those lines fail in getDefaultValueList?
