Rolling 5 Period Report - passing Time Parameter..
Hello,

The Rolling 5 Period Report produces no data when
you choose a time period from the left hand side, drill down to the next level, it produces a no data screen. Example 2008 Month 03
Now if I changed the system date to 2008 05 their are no issues because their is no need to select from the Time tree on the left.

This problem does not occur for Prior vs Current or Previous vs Current Report

I have seen this behaviour before in 5.1.1
Can this be fixed in an upcoming release ?


Regards. John

Try this. Go to Manage tab, System Settings, and set Alternate Time Summary to 'Y.' Let me know if that does the trick.

thanks

Hi,

I made the change you mentioned. Exactly same behaviour does not work for Rolling 5 Period report.

Thing to do would be to open a case and put in the example and the traces you are getting back (you might have to turn on PMF traces).

Hi,

Just want to add to the post before opening up a case. I have a three level time dimension Year / Quarter / Month.

This issue on the post does not occur at the highest level , it only occurs when selecting Quarter or Month from the left hand side.

Thanx

Question for application tracing is it simple enough going to edit system settings ?
Application Tracing: - setting this to ON ?

Is their a trace file that will be produced ? and if yes where ?

Application tracing is the same as putting in SET &ECHO=. To see the trace you do a View Source from the browser. Of course it has to be a browser-based report, and not a PDF or XLS since those are redirected and under pplug-in control.

But you knew that.

So =ON gives you bare trace without Dialogue Manager, and =ALL gives you Dialogue Manager pre-processing too.

Hope that helps.
