how to add external input controls in adhoc report in jasperserver 4.0

[kcsekhar25]

hi all,

below is the query i am using to get the fields.

i need to provide  ALL_MAPPLETS.SUBJECT_AREA, ALL_MAPPLETS.MAPPLET_NAME as input controls but ALL_MAPPLETS.MAPPLET_NAME is not included in the query.

number of records without including   ALL_MAPPLETS.MAPPLET_NAME  are 86. which is the one i have to use.

number of records  including   ALL_MAPPLETS.MAPPLET_NAME  are 97.

my question is how can i able to provide the input control ALL_MAPPLETS.MAPPLET_NAME  to the report without including the field in the query.

wishing to get some support.

any support would be appreciated

below is the query i am using to get the fields.

SELECT
 DISTINCT MAPPLET_REPOSIT_INFO.REPOSITORY_NAME,
 ALL_MAPPLETS.SUBJECT_AREA,
 MAPPLET_WIDGET_INST.WIDGET_TYPE_NAME,
 MAPPLET_WIDGET_INST.INSTANCE_NAME,
 SUBSTRING(MAPPLET_WIDGET_INST.DESCRIPTION,1,254) as DESCRIPTION
FROM
 rs_user.REP_ALL_MAPPLETS ALL_MAPPLETS,
 rs_user.REP_REPOSIT_INFO MAPPLET_REPOSIT_INFO,
 rs_user.REP_WIDGET_INST MAPPLET_WIDGET_INST
WHERE
 (ALL_MAPPLETS.PARENT_MAPPLET_ID <> MAPPLET_REPOSIT_INFO.REPOSITORY_ID AND
 ALL_MAPPLETS.PARENT_MAPPLET_ID = MAPPLET_WIDGET_INST.MAPPING_ID AND
 ALL_MAPPLETS.PARENT_MAPPLET_VERSION_NUMBER = MAPPLET_WIDGET_INST.

Hi kcsekhar25,

 

I didn't completely get your situation unfortunately, but I want to tell you some general info at least.

 

As far as I know, if you want to have an input control, you should have a parameter for it, defined in jrxml with identical name. To make query return different results depending on input control`s selected value, you have to put the parameter in query, otherwise changing parameter`s value leads to nothing. Usually, the parameter is used in "where" clause of the sql query.

 

Anton.
