[CLOSED] Global parameters are not refreshed when run through HTML
Our requirement is to create a graph and drill down the detail report based on
the section of graph.

Steps which we followed.

Procedure1: Two parameters

#1 Created hold file which will have the data with computed values.
#2 Created a graph with hold file.
#3 stored the parameters as global parameters.
#4 hyper link the procedure 2 to graph with section of graph selected(only one
parameter).

Procedure 2: Three parameters

#1 created detail report which will have the two parameters of procedure 1
(graph) and third parameter is the section of graph area.

Created HTML page using HTML composer and call the above proc 1 in HTML page.

Issue:

Select the value from listbox one and two and click on submit.

page shows Graph and detail report successfully for the first time.

When we reselect list box and try to run the report.it shows the previous
selection data not the current one.

we stored the params as global paramas in graph and using global params in
proc#2.

global params are not refreshing each run of proc #2.

Please help us on this issue.

...and

it's good practice to add a dummy parameter ( usually named RND or NOCACHE) with a random value to prevent caching in the first place. No matter what the browser settings are.

e.g.
-SET &NOCACHE = 1000000000 * RDUNIF(I1);


And add this as a paramter to the drill.
( NOCACHE=&NOCACHE )

g'luck,
Dave
