[CLOSED] Pass Parameter for a Fex from Report Caster API
Hi All,

I am trying to implement scheduling using Report Caster API's.

Finally we are able to use the java files provided inside the Report Caster directory. I have created a schedule successfully.

When I try to execute the schedule using S21_Run.java file it is getting executed. When I check the log it is failing with the following error message.

Task error: A VALUE IS MISSING FOR: &Days_in_Report

It is because the Fex code accepts a parameter in order to get executed. The problem is I dont know how to mention the parameter. Do I need to mention when creating the schedule using S02_Add_Email.java or when executing the schedule using S21_Run.java

Kindly help me in this.

Thanks,
Santhosh

You should be able to set parameters when you create the schedule.

Have you checked the documentation ?

Hi Waz,

Yes I checked the documentation. It tells me how to pass the parameters to run the schedule like below:

Usage: java S21_Run

But I need to pass a parameter which is required to run the FEX. I went through the ReportCaster Legacy API Developer's Reference but I couldnt find it.

Could you please help me.

Thanks,
Santhosh

Hi Waz,

Even when creating the schedule these are the parameters it accepts:

Usage: java S02_Add_Email

And inside the code I see we need to pass the below parameters:

InlineMessage
InlineTaskIndex --Which I am not sure what it is
Mail From
Reply Address
Server Name
Subject

So I am not sure where to pass the parameter for FEX.

Thanks,
Santhosh

My terminologies may be a bit off, but where you specify the fex, there should be an option to pass parameters.
