[SOLVED] Report Caster Parameters are missing

Hello,

I have probably 300 report caster jobs set up and most of them have parameters that are passed to the fex file.

This morning I went to set up a new report caster job and add the values to the parameters and all of my parameters are missing. I have 1 parameter that shows a name of "I". I've tired a number of fex files that have parameters and the are all showing as "I".

Thanks,
Kelly

Hi KellyT

Do you have a -DEFAULTH for the parameters in the fex?


Thank you for using Focal Point!

Few thing to debug:

1
When the fex is run directly. Does it prompt ( with autoprompt on ) for parameters?

2
Do you have parameter that has a strange name? ( space or & in it? )
Perhaps in the title?

3
Do you have a dynamic parameter? If so, it might not be able to retrieve the available values.

Good luck,

Hello,

I ended up having to reboot the machine that has report caster and webfocus server on it.
That cleared up the issue.

Thank you
