Hi,
I have a requirement such that the procedure in the report caster should run using different adapters for which i have a connection parameter.We have external ESP jobs that invoke the Report Caster schedule to run this procedure.How to pass values to the connection parameters in the procedure during run time in Report Caster.

I haven't tried this but I should think you can parameterize the CONNECTION ATTRIBUTES for the adapter.

I had done this years ago. The CONNECTION information can be held in a fex instead of just the default edasprof.prf. You can then assign & variables to anything. This should be done prior to TABLE request obviously. I did this in my case because the password for the adapter had to be looked up and not coded so I had to call an external routine to get password then substitute in CONNECTION string.

Hi,
Currently there are connection parameter in the procedures.we are doing a RESTful call to run the ReportCaster Schedule using ESP.They are passing the parameters with the RESTful call but the job fails.Is this because the procedure cannot recognize the parameter from the URL?

What are the errors in the ReportCaster logs? -SET &ECHO=ALL so you can look at the way & variables are being resolved.

This error sounds like you have a -GOTO for a label that doesn't exist. Post your code so we can debug this easier.


Thank you for using Focal Point!

Unfortunately i cannot post the code.
The report runs successfully when parameters are specified in the URL.

In the external java code to run the schedule they are executing the .sch file.
How can i pass the parameter to the sch file.
can i pass it in the URL itself
will that work?

What URL are you using? Is it a WebFOCUS RestFul Web Service call?

You can set them in the actual schedule itself under the task there is a parameters button that allows you to set them there. But I know that is not dynamic.

Hi Chuck,
This didn't work.
Have anybody passed parameters to the schedule through RestFUL web service call.
